Chapter 406: Big Purchase - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

Cen Xi and his group arrived at the department store smoothly, but there were too many people in the department store.

Looking at it, they were not very willing to squeeze in.

"There are too many people here!"

They all looked on in hesitation, and their feet were unwilling to take even one more step forward!

Originally, they were already extremely hot in their long sleeves and long pants, and the department store was crowded with people, so you can imagine how uncomfortable it would be in there.

"Do you want to come in?" Xiao Yifan said after swallowing.

Cen Xi frowned slightly and shook his head, "Forget it. I'll go to the cool place over there for a while and wait until there are fewer people around before going in."

Xiao Yifan's eyes lit up. This is possible!

"Okay! Then I'll go with you!"

"I'll wait with you." After hearing what Cen Xi said, most of the others were willing to wait along with him.

They were really unable to bear the heat. Being squeezed in such a crowd, they might even get heatstroke. What's more, it was a bit inappropriate for a group of grown men to be squeezed in such a crowd of women.

They are considered educated people, but not many of them are willing to force themselves among a group of women, not to mention that the impact is not very good.

"In that case, let's go over there and wait for a while!" It just so happened that it was cooler under the trees opposite.

The group of them, dressed like that, attracted a lot of attention. As soon as they walked under the tree, some extroverted people came up to them and started chatting with them.

"Hey! Comrade, you are all from other places, right?" The man spoke Mandarin, but with a strong accent.

Xiao Yifan was still able to understand what he was saying. As the more outgoing person in the group, he took the initiative to stand up and talk to the man, "Yes! We are all here on business trips from other places."

"That's what I told you. No local would dress like you." The man said with a knowing look on his face.

"Oh my! That's right, we didn't know it was still so hot here! It's almost November and it's already cooler over there."

"You are from the North?"

"I did come from the north. I just didn't expect the difference to be so big."

"Of course it is! The temperature in the north outside our province is lower than ours. The weather here is like this. It will probably get cold in December, but it won't be too cold sometimes. Hehe, we save a lot of fabric here." A short-sleeved shirt can be worn all year round.

Xiao Yifan was a little confused and asked stupidly, "How do you save money?"

The man lifted the collar of his short-sleeved shirt and said, "We can wear this short-sleeved shirt all year round. If it's cold in winter, we can just put on a sweater, a thin coat, or a padded jacket."

Cen Xi and his group had never been here before, so they were quite surprised by this. After all, when they went out in the north, they had to wear a lot of clothes and they had to heat the kang to avoid freezing.

"Don't you have long sleeves?" Xiao Yifan asked hesitantly.

"Why do you need that? The weather here is very strange. It may be a little cool in the morning and evening, but it is extremely hot when the sun is shining during the day. What's the point of wearing long sleeves?" It's extremely hot in broad daylight.

Cen Xi and his group felt as if they were being implicated.

But think about it, long sleeves are not really necessary here. With this temperature difference between day and night, it is more appropriate to wear short sleeves and a thin jacket. You can just take off the jacket when you don't need it.

Look at the long sleeves on them, they look so silly!

Xiao Yifan asked the man, "Comrade, are there any T-shirts in this department store that don't require a ticket?"

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of them. We have a lot of clothing factories here. The sailor shirts and Dacron short-sleeved shirts in the department store don't require tickets. They're just a little expensive."

Cen Xi's eyes lit up, "Can I buy as much as I want? Is there a purchase limit?" Generally, there may be a purchase limit for items like this that don't require tickets.

"No." The man was a local here and was very familiar with the department store.

After listening to this, Cen Xi found some special products that he could buy back home, and he planned to bring one for everyone in his family.

Xiao Yifan heard something from his tone and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "How much are you planning to buy? Do you have enough money?"

Cen Xi nodded, "Don't worry." This time when he went out, Lin Qing prepared 500 yuan and some receipts for him. However, there were not many receipts. The money was mainly used to buy some specialties that did not require tickets. He couldn't waste it on this trip.

Seeing how well Xiao Yifan was chatting with the local, others couldn't help but ask about some local matters.

Time passed quickly and the crowd in the department store finally dispersed. After saying goodbye to the local man who had approached them, Cen Xi and his group rushed into the department store.

Cen Xi and his group went straight to the clothing counter that the local had just mentioned.

After asking around, they found out that what the man said was indeed true. Moreover, the clothes did not require a ticket and were cheaper than what they had. How could they resist?

In addition to buying items for themselves, they also brought one or two back home. Cen Xi bought the most.

Breton shirts, buy, Dacron, buy, beautiful skirts, buy, buy, buy…

In addition to buying two pieces for himself, he also bought many more pieces. It was a very generous purchase, and the salesperson at the counter became more enthusiastic.

Finally, he came out carrying a big bag of clothes, and the others who were traveling with him looked at him with envy.

"Engineer Cen, won't your sister-in-law scold you for spending so much money?" Xiao Yifan said uncertainly. He just saw this man buy more than ten pieces of clothing in one go. This was too wasteful.

"I didn't buy much, it will be gone in a split second." Cen Xi felt that he didn't take much either!

Apart from his wife, the two elderly people in the family each had two pieces, which was not much at all.

Xiao Yifan shut up. He had realized that the money he had just spent might not be much for Engineer Cen!

Alas, come to think of it, Mr. Cen is the same as them. He has two full-time jobs. Although he has to support his parents-in-law, both of them have high salaries and they don't have children. They can probably save a lot this month, and spending one or two hundred yuan is probably not much.

Alas~ I’m really jealous just thinking about it!

Cen Xi not only bought clothes, but also went to various counters to have a look and went on a shopping spree.

…

The aroma of meat from Lin Qing's dinner made the children in the yard cry again.

There were all kinds of roars and curses, but none of these affected Lin Qing's family of three from eating. There was nothing they could do, they had gotten used to it.

In the backyard, Aunt Sui joked with the others in the family, "Hey! This time it really shows the advantage of not having children in our family."

Wu Daya and Wang Ping both lowered their heads and dared not speak. They didn't know for a moment whether their mother-in-law was joking or criticizing them.

"Okay, don't make that expression. I won't rush you. I guess it's because our destiny hasn't arrived yet. The baby might come at any time. Don't give me some weird medicine!" She has heard a lot of gossip and knows that some people will easily come up with stupid ideas when they are anxious and take all kinds of weird medicine.

"Got it." The two daughters-in-law felt warm in their hearts and responded obediently.
