Chapter 16: Okay, okay, I'm angry and filial [Seeking follow-up reading]
"I told you that you look good in this dress. You look better than those girls on the street!"
Lin Heng held his wife's hand and said with a smile, "Especially her figure, which is a plus."
Chen Xiulan looked at the mirror and was still shocked to find that she looked so much more beautiful when she put on nice clothes.
Lin Heng's eyes made her feel as if she had returned to the time before she got married.
After savoring it for a few more times, she reached out to change her clothes, but Lin Heng held her back: "Why are you changing them? Just put them back on like this."
"No, even if we buy them, we can't walk on the mountain roads wearing them." Xiulan shook her head and insisted on changing them.
Lin Heng couldn't help but stretch out his hand twice. His wife had such a good figure, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen in love with her at first sight.
His hands were knocked down twice before Xiulan finally changed her clothes.
"Now that we have bought the clothes, there is no need for shoes." Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said.
"I have the final say today." Lin Heng sternly rejected her. After going out, he bought her another set of underwear, directly according to the D cup size.
It was black with a lace pattern, and he liked it very much.
Chen Xiulan wanted to say no, but there were so many people here that she felt embarrassed.
"Buy a set for our daughter as well." Lin Heng said again, letting Xiulan choose. This time Xiulan did not refuse.
"You should buy one yourself, otherwise I will return mine." Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely buy it." Lin Heng smiled.
Lin Heng bought himself a pair of hiking shoes, a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts.
After putting it on, he looked much more handsome. He was also quite good-looking, otherwise he would not have been able to win over such a good woman like Xiulan.
The so-called hiking shoes here are not the kind of later generations. The soles are made of yellow rubber and the uppers are high-top canvas. In fact, they are not much different from Liberation shoes, but they are more beautiful.
"Wife, am I very handsome?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.
"Very good." Xiulan nodded and reached out to tidy up Lin Heng's clothes, with satisfaction revealed in her bright eyes.
"How much are the clothes here?" Father Lin bought some odds and ends and came over to ask.
"Clothes are 80 cents a piece, and the prices of shoes vary." Lin Heng said.
"Then buy one for everyone else in the family. We have to buy one anyway. It's cheap here and there are many styles. Buy everyone a pair of Liberation Shoes." Father Lin thought about it and decided.
Having gained so much this time, I naturally have to buy some gifts for my family.
"The clothes are twelve dollars, the shoes are twenty dollars, the total is thirty-two dollars," the salesperson said when I checked out.
I bought a total of 16 pieces of clothes and ten pairs of shoes.
When Father Lin and Xiulan heard this, they had an urge to return the goods. They thought they were too expensive. Even if they were selling herbs and mushrooms in the summer, they wouldn't make that much money in two months.
Workers in the city only earn 15 yuan a month.
There was no way. At that time, China's industry was just starting out, and the prices of industrial products such as clothes were very expensive. On the contrary, some natural resources were very cheap.
Then Lin Heng bought a flashlight and two packs of hand cream.
There is no electricity now, so flashlights are very useful at night.
Lin Heng really wanted to buy a watch because he needed to check the time in the woods. There was only one clock at home, and he couldn't check it when he went out.
But domestic watches are too expensive in this era. The cheapest one costs one hundred yuan, which is really unaffordable.
After the final settlement, all the items cost a total of one hundred and thirty-one yuan and thirty cents. When paying the bill, Lin's father and Xiulan felt heartbroken for a long time.
"Money is just a piece of paper. It's more economical if you exchange it for things!" Lin Heng smiled, paid the money, led the dog, and walked out with the things.
Especially in recent years, with rounds of inflation, money will quickly become worthless, and it is most cost-effective to exchange it for material things.
This is how the money that many people have saved with great difficulty becomes worthless.
"Anything else you want to buy?"
Lin Heng looked at his father and asked, looking at the clock on the wall. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Basically, there's nothing left. Just go buy some small things, such as baking powder, sweet wine yeast and the like." Father Lin shook his head.
"We're basically ready to go home." Xiulan said, carrying the things she bought.
"Well, I'll go buy a bow and head back."
Lin Heng nodded and sought his father's advice.
"Go ahead and buy it, as long as you can really use it." Father Lin thought about it and decided that since he had already bought so many things, he didn't care about a bow.
There were many people selling hunting tools in this era. Lin Heng bought a hunting bow, thirty polished iron arrowheads, and five complete arrows.
After buying things, he walked back. When he passed a garbage recycling station, Lin Heng suddenly remembered something and said to his wife and father: "Wait a minute, I'm going in to buy something."
After handing the dog to Xiulan, Lin Heng walked in.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Lin Heng rushing in without taking anything, the boss picked up the steel pipe on the ground.
"I'm here to buy something. Do you have any old books here?" Lin Heng explained quickly.
Upon hearing this, the boss threw the steel pipe on the ground and pointed to a pile of waste paper on the left and said, "They are all there, you can pick them yourself."
"Thank you." Lin Heng nodded and walked over.
Most of them were waste paper, but after picking and choosing, Lin Heng still found several good old books, namely "Red Rock", "How the Steel Was Tempered", "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Jane Eyre" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"Boss, how much are these five books?" Lin Heng asked as he took the things over.
"Here's two cents, take it." The boss looked at Lin Heng and said.
"Can you give me this inner tube?" Lin Heng asked, pointing to a broken motorcycle inner tube next to him.
"Take it together." The boss waved his hand.
After paying the money, Lin Heng walked out happily with the books. These were gifts for his sister Lin Caiyun. He believed that these things were more precious to her than clothes.
"Why are you buying these?" Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and asked.
"Reading books broadens your horizons." Lin Heng said with a smile, "I also gave a few books to my sister."
Father Lin was silent for a moment, then continued on his way with his things on his back. He bought some dry food, and the three of them walked back with their things on their backs.
There were so many things they bought that the three of them walked even slower than when they came back.
Lin Heng originally wanted to see if there was a hitchhiker, but when he walked to Shuangqiao Town, he didn't see any, so he had to go into the mountains and take a small path.
After walking ten kilometers in the mountains, it was already dusk. It was probably around six o'clock, and it would be dark in another hour.
"Woo woo~"
Xiongba couldn't walk anymore and lay in the backpack.
"Take a break and eat some dry food before you go on. You're going to be exhausted."
Lin Heng leaned against the low slope, unable to move any further.
"Give me some food. I'm just eating rice for free." Father Lin came over and took some things away while eating dry food.
Lin Heng didn't stop him because he really couldn't lift it.
"Wife, let me share some of the burden with you." Lin Heng turned around and took out some things from Xiulan's backpack.
“Okay, okay!”
Father Lin laughed angrily, "You unfilial son, are you playing like this? I won't serve you anymore," and put the things back on the spot.
"Don't be angry, Dad. You have good physical strength. How can we compare with you?" Lin Heng smiled and shamelessly put the things into his father's backpack.
"I'm not tired, Dad, please give me some." Xiulan said filially.
"No need. Let that second-rate guy carry it." Father Lin glared at Lin Heng, but still helped share some of the burden.
After eating the steamed bun, Lin Heng scooped some water from the stream nearby and drank it. He picked a small white flower and put it on his wife's head.
"It's really beautiful!" Lin Heng grinned foolishly.
Xiulan blushed slightly and glared at him, meaning that dad was still there.
"Dad, you don't mind, right?" Lin Heng said with a smile.
"You better keep doing this and don't make any mistakes, or I'll break your legs!"
Father Lin was so angry that he left. This kid was becoming more and more outrageous by showing off his affection in front of him.
