Chapter 94 This is a gift for you

After entering the department store.

Jiang Rou first went to the counter where the candies were.

She looked around but didn't see any White Rabbit candy. It seemed that the department stores didn't have it and she had to go to a bigger city to get it.

But other candies, wrapped in red, green and colorful wrappers, filled the shelves.

Jiang Rou took out the money and bills that she had prepared long ago.

"Hello, comrade. All these loose candies need ten kilograms."

The salesperson heard it and said, "Ten kilograms!"

He not only looked at Jiang Rou a few more times.

It's still expensive after negotiation. Most people would buy it in half a catty at most. Jiang Rou bought ten catties right away. She must be a real rich woman.

After collecting the money, the salesperson immediately started packing.

Jiang Rou said to Zhou Chongshan while watching the weighing.

"The sisters-in-law in the compound gave us so much food and supplies, and we haven't returned the favor yet. Let's buy more candies and share them with each family."

"When the time comes, half will be divided in the compound, and I'll keep half for you to take to the barracks. You'll also give some to Song Yan and the others..."

"After you share these, they won't ask you for candy anymore."

Jiang Rou spends money generously, but not for no reason.

The meticulous calculations were also explained in great detail.

Zhou Chongshan watched Jiang Rou buy things without blinking.

He doesn't care.

It's just candy, you can afford it even if you eat it yourself.

He just didn't expect that Jiang Rou was still thinking about the wedding candy.

Zhou Chongshan asked, "Did you hear them chattering?"

"No. But I can imagine it. You are their leader, and it's your first wedding. We didn't hold a wedding banquet, so we have to give out wedding candies. Otherwise, it won't sound good if it gets out."

The young couple came closer and whispered.

When Jiang Rou bought candy.

The two children were not idle either.

Zhou Xiaohua was held in Zhou Chongshan's arms, her little hands around his neck. She was in a high position, looking around curiously, and could see many counters around her.

There are so many new and strange things that I am not familiar with.

Everything is strange, yet very desirable.

Zhou Xiaochuan was held by the hand and stood beside him.

He was not very tall, about the same height as the counter, so he had to stand on tiptoe when looking at things.

Zhou Xiaochuan stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look at the nearest candy counter.

There are about a dozen kinds of candy, red, green, and everything else.

But after looking around, he didn't see the familiar blue and white candy wrapper, nor did he find the White Rabbit milk candy he had eaten before.

For some reason, he frowned.

…

After buying candy.

Jiang Rou bought a lot of daily necessities, such as soap, toothbrushes, and towels.

Anyway, they are all easy to carry and affordable.

Then they went to the cloth counter on the other side.

There are more people on that side.

On a large counter, there are batches of fabrics. Looking at them neatly arranged from a distance is very helpful in curing obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Because there were so many people, you had to queue.

Jiang Rou waited for a while before it was their turn.

She was thinking about Zhao Guifen's request, so she bought the fabric that Zhao Guifen needed first.

Next is…

"This floral canvas is beautiful. I can make a skirt for Xiaohua. Little girls look good in skirts. Xiaohua doesn't want to wear old, gray clothes anymore. You can buy two feet!"

"This aqua blue is very similar to the color of military uniforms. Xiaochuan, do you like it? You can make a small shirt or something with it. It will definitely look very handsome when you wear it! You can buy three feet!"

"This fabric seems to be pure cotton, and it feels really comfortable. It can be used to make pajamas. Buy... buy five feet!"

Jiang Rou quickly selected what she wanted.

After looking around the counter, she set her eyes on a light brown fabric.

I asked the salesperson to take it down and feel it.

then--

He pulled the cloth, placed it in front of Zhou Chongshan and tried it.

Jiang Rou's eyes lit up.

"Chongshan, this looks good on you."

Zhou Chongshan was stunned, "Me too?"

Then he added, "I'm wearing a military uniform, so I don't need these."

"Of course it's necessary. You don't stay in the barracks all the time. You also have time to rest, like this time when you came to the city. Next time you go out, you don't have to wear military uniform all the time."

As Jiang Rou spoke, she called the salesperson over.

She couldn't estimate how much fabric would be needed to make a set of clothes based on Zhou Chongshan's body shape, so she asked the salesperson to help her take a look and buy as much as possible.

Back and forth.

They spent more than half an hour at the fabric counter.

Jiang Rou walked out of the crowd holding a pile of cloth, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

She looked satisfied, but there was a hint of shyness in her smile.

Looking at Zhou Chongshan and his two children, he said.

"Well... I've never made clothes before. When I return to the compound, I will learn from the other sisters-in-law. If my work doesn't look good, please don't complain."

"I won't give up."

Zhou Chongshan looked at Jiang Rou's slightly flushed cheeks and smiled unconsciously.

What Jiang Rou did was more than just clothes, it was full of love, how could anyone dislike it.

Then we walked around for another hour.

Finally I've left the crowded department store.

When you walk out the door.

Jiang Rou took big gulps of fresh air.

She was used to online shopping in her previous life and was not used to this kind of rush to buy.

Although very tired.

But I finally bought everything I wanted.

Jiang Rou happily searched her pockets and took out two things.

"Here. This is for Xiaochuan, and this is for Xiaohua."

Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua were stunned and froze.

Jiang Rou bought so many things just now that neither of the two children noticed. Jiang Rou also bought something when they were not paying attention.

“This is a gift for you.”

The word "gift" gives the small thing in front of us a different meaning.

Zhou Chongshan put down Zhou Xiaohua he was holding.

He took a pile of things from Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou touched the two children's heads and placed the gifts in their hands.

For Zhou Xiaohua and Zhou Xiaochuan, let alone receiving gifts, in their short lives, there is not even a single thing that truly belongs to them.

But Jiang Rou's gift also came in a beautiful box.

It's... just for them.

There was a small paper box placed in Zhou Xiaochuan's palm.

There were words written on the box, but he didn't recognize them.

He lowered his head.

The young man's handsome face was dark and tense.

When my fingers lightly touched the paper box, I seemed so cautious.

He slowly opened the box.

The next thing that appeared before his eyes was... a glass marble.

The marble is transparent with a smudge of color in the middle.

There are red, green, blue, and yellow ones.

There are many kinds, and there are several of each color.

It was exactly the same glass marbles that other kids in the compound played with.
