"He doesn't like so many girls in the brothel and he always dislikes them. This time he can like her. How bad do you think that girl can be?"
"Besides, do you also want him to marry someone like his sister-in-law? Then our family will probably fall apart soon."
"No matter whether it's the people in our family, they are all keeping a close eye on us. We must not make any mistakes, otherwise we won't know when someone will plot against us."
The old lady said, "I just don't know where my grandson is working in the countryside, otherwise I could send him something."
"Also, we don't know what kind of person our grandson's wife is, and whether we are easy to get along with. Grandpa Xiao said that we don't need to worry so much, as long as our grandson likes her. Besides, based on her opinion, our grandson's wife must be a very good person. Didn't he say he would send her a photo? You will know what your grandson's wife looks like in a short time."
The old lady sighed and sat down. She poured a cup of tea for Mr. Xiao, poured herself a cup and took a sip before saying, "I'm afraid it's someone like my old daughter-in-law again. I'll probably be so angry that I'll live a few years less."
Grandpa Xiao said, "Yunyou, my little grandson, don't you understand? His taste is not that of ordinary people. Look at those girls in the courtyard, who are not interested in him, but he doesn't even give them a good look."
Here the old man and the old lady were discussing their future grandson and daughter-in-law. Over there, after Xiao Yichen hung up the phone and paid the phone bill, he took Xia Yunxuan to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The two of them came to a clothes shop, "Xiao Yichen asked, little girl, what do you think of these clothes? I'll buy you a few more."
"Yichen, let me see if there's anything I like, Xia Yunxuan said in a low voice, I don't think it looks that good."
Xiao Yichen also whispered, "I also think it's too ugly, it doesn't suit your temperament, little girl. After looking around, Xiao Yichen thinks that the dress, the shirt, and the pants are still quite good."
Xiao Yichen asked, "Little girl, what do you think of those two sets? I'll buy you a pair of small leather shoes to match them. They'll still look great."
Xia Yunxuan said, "These two sets are okay, but the others are really not good. They are too ugly, too fat, and the fabric is bad."
Xiao Yichen still bought both sets of clothes, spending a total of 45 yuan, and also bought a pair of small leather shoes for 20 yuan. The salesperson's eyes were red with envy, wondering where this rich man came from, spending money without blinking an eye.
After spending two months' wages, Xia Yunxuan came to the men's clothing counter and saw a white shirt and a pair of black pants that were particularly suitable for Xiao Yichen. "Xia Yunxuan whispered to Xiao Yichen, 'Take a look at this set and see if you can wear it. I'll buy it for you and we can exchange gifts.'"
Xiao Yichen glanced at the clothes hanging there and said, "Little girl, I can wear this set of clothes. Xia Yunxuan looked at the salesperson at the counter and said, "Hello, comrade, please take down this set of clothes so I can have a look."
The salesperson said, "Please wait a moment, comrade. Your boyfriend is so handsome. This suit really suits him. It feels like it was tailor-made for him."
The salesperson took it down, and Xia Yunxuan tried it to feel the fabric. The fabric was OK, so Xia Yunxuan asked, "Do you have men's leather shoes and belts? I want both."
When the salesperson heard that the little girl wanted to buy so many things, he was very happy and said, "Comrade, we have all of these. Come with me."
When we got to the leather shoes section, there were only two pairs available, and one of them happened to be in Xiao Yichen's size. There was nothing we could do but take that pair.
A set of clothes, a pen, a pair of leather shoes, and a belt cost a total of 75 yuan. It was the first time for the salesperson to see these two people spending money. They were so lavish. She was really jealous. She wouldn't dare to spend like this. These two people spent several years' savings in one go. No one with money would dare to do this.
There are several elderly people and children in their family. They are never full and dare not eat fine grains. There are too many people and the food is not enough. If they eat coarse grains, they can eat for a while and barely fill their stomachs.
It was obvious that these two were dating each other, and judging by the way they were dressed, they both looked like wealthy people. They were both so good-looking, like stars who walked out of a magazine.
Xiao Yichen said, "Little girl, let's go to the snack shop and buy you some food. Then we'll go ask if there are any ladies' bicycles. If there are, we'll buy you one. It will be more convenient for you to ride."
The two of them came to the snack counter and Xiao Yichen said, "Hello, comrade, I want two pounds of egg cake, two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, one pound of osmanthus cake, a can of milk powder, and a can of maltose."
The salesperson said, "Good comrade, please wait a moment. These are real customers. She dare not neglect them. She just saw that both of them bought things with their own hands. They spent a lot of money."
The salesperson quickly packed the items and said, "Hello, comrade. The total is six taels of grain coupons, 19.8 yuan. The egg cake is one yuan per pound, the White Rabbit is two yuan per pound, the osmanthus cake is 80 yuan, the milk powder is 8 yuan, and the malted milk is one yuan."
Xiao Yichen took out two Tuanjie notes from his pocket and handed them over. The salesperson gave him two cents in change and said politely, "Comrades, please take a look and see if you need anything else."
Xiao Yichen asked the comrade, "Do you have ladies' bicycles for sale in your supply and marketing cooperative?" The salesperson's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Comrade, what a coincidence that you came here. There just happened to be a bicycle that someone ordered before, but later decided that the price was too expensive and didn't want it. That ladies' bicycle is really nice, and I want it too, but I don't have the money or the ticket."
Xiao Yichen asked the comrades, "Who should we contact if we want that bicycle?" The salesperson said, "Comrades, please wait a moment. I will call our director and you can buy it."
Xia Yunxuan said, "Comrade, please excuse me, but the salesperson said it's not a problem, and this is also our job."
The salesperson called the person next to her and asked her to watch it for a while. She ran to the office to find the manager. A few minutes later, the salesperson brought the manager back. The manager was a short, fat, and bald man. He looked at Xiao Yichen and said, "Hello, comrade. Is that the women's bicycle you need to buy?"
Xiao Yichen said, "Hello, Director. I want to buy that ladies' bicycle. May I know the price?"
The director said, "The price is 150 plus a bicycle ticket. This is because someone ordered it before, but now she doesn't want it, so we have women's bicycles. Otherwise, there are no women's bicycles in our town, and even 28-bar bicycles are rare."
Xia Yunxuan said, "Director, please take me to see the car. If there is no problem, I will buy it. But Director, this is someone's promise. I hope he won't cause trouble for me when the time comes."
