Chi Wan knew very well that the man in front of her was generous to his family, but reluctant to spend a penny on himself.
Otherwise, among the four people in the family, he wouldn't have the most worn-out clothes and the ones with the most signs of mending.
and……
Every penny he earns is so hard-earned.
Chi Wan looked through the passbook carefully, which showed not only the amount but also the term.
The passbook was first issued five years ago.
At the beginning, the deposit records were only five or ten dollars, and there were several months between each deposit.
Five years ago, when Huo Nan came, he was only sixteen years old.
How did he save all that money at his age and still have to support his family?
The sudden increase in deposits occurred about a year ago.
Almost every month, around one hundred yuan is deposited into the account.
Chi Wan could roughly guess that Huo Nan should have met Zheng Kui at that time, so he had more income.
Gradually, I finally saved up so much money.
Now it's all up to her.
Chi Wan's heart felt a little sour, but also sweet.
She put the passbook in another pocket, hiding it carefully.
Huo Nan watched her every move from the side, and when he saw Chi Wan accepted them all, he felt inexplicably relieved.
Even her thin lips were slightly raised with a hint of an upward arc.
…
The two of them stayed at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative for a while, then turned around and walked in.
Because it is an exclusive store, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative always has a lot of customers.
Everyone has to queue up to buy things.
Some of the more popular products are sold out in an instant. If you really want them, you have to rush to buy them early in the morning.
It's almost a one-shot kill.
While Chi Wan was standing in line, she carefully scanned the goods in the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are a wide variety of items, including food, drinks, and clothes.
Chi Wan's gaze fell on the highest shelf.
The shelves were already empty, the merchandise on them having long been sold out, and on a sticker on the shelf next to it were three large characters that read “Radio”.
Chi Wan also listened to other guests and staff chatting.
"Radio? You want to buy a radio?"
"This radio not only can play the Capital Radio, but the speaker is also very loud. Once it is turned on, the whole house can hear it clearly."
"But our supply and marketing cooperative only has three units a month. When they are delivered on the first day of the month, they are immediately snapped up. It's too late for you to come now~"
The radio is not working.
But on that shelf, there is a bigger and more fashionable "high-tech" product.
——Black and white TV.
Compared to the radio, the black and white TV is the real king.
There is only one such machine in the entire supply and marketing cooperative.
The reason why they are still on the shelves and have not been sold is that TV sets are too expensive and too difficult to get.
Therefore, this black and white TV was placed on the counter for three months and became the treasure of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Chi Wan is of course yearning for this kind of "high-tech" product.
However, in their village, every household does not even have electricity, so even if they buy this "high-tech" product, it is just a decoration.
So after she took a quick glance, she didn't look in that direction anymore.
On the contrary, Chi Wan liked the dazzling array of goods in the daily necessities department store even more. She looked back and forth, calculating non-stop in her mind.
After a while, it was finally Chi Wan's turn.
She smiled at the staff behind the counter and said, "Hello, I want two kilograms of white sugar, one kilogram of rock sugar, and two kilograms of the fruit candy on the shelf..."
"The reading glasses, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the red bean paste cake... the pens and ink on the shelf, the notebook... and the red hairband..."
"I want all these things."
"Finally, I want to see the fabrics."
Chi Wan listed about a dozen things in one breath, and none of them were repeated.
The staff behind the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative is a woman in her thirties with curly hair and fashionable high heels.
The curly-haired woman squinted her eyes and looked Chi Wan up and down.
Her eyes are very small, and when she squints them, she looks at people through a gap, giving people a sense of contempt.
"Just you... little girl, if you want these things, you need not only money, but also money."
The curly-haired woman looked at Chi Wan's body. She was wearing old clothes that were bleached from washing, and her shoes were still covered in dust.
You can tell at first glance that he is not a city person.
She was secretly certain in her heart that she simply couldn't come up with that much money.
Chi Wan naturally understood the sarcasm in the other person's eyes, but she was not angry. After all, she was rich at the moment and didn't want to waste time talking to such a person.
Otherwise, it would only ruin her shopping mood.
Chi Wan said nothing, and took out the money and notes that Huo Nan had given her earlier from her pocket.
Pull some out of it and put it on the counter.
"Can you give it to me now?"
She raised her eyes, and a sharp look naturally appeared in her eyes.
The tone of his voice was light and gentle.
It was like a silent mockery.
The curly-haired woman suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if someone was staring at her.
And at this time.
Looking at her, not only is her smile gentle, but her eyes are sharp. Chi Wan.
There was also Honan standing next to him.
The man's dark eyes were filled with cold mockery, and fell directly on her like a sharp sword.
If this man didn't look so strange...
The curly-haired woman was in a trance and thought it was the leader of a higher-level unit who came to inspect in disguise.
Otherwise, how could he have such a strong aura.
The curly-haired woman dared not say anything gossipy anymore.
Immediately, I became busy and flustered.
The curly-haired woman placed all the things Chi Wan mentioned neatly on the counter.
Chi Wan checked it roughly, paying special attention to the pen and ink.
She chose the most expensive Hero brand, and black ink was the best ink.
Immediately following.
This is the last piece of fabric she wanted...
The curly-haired woman stood in front of the shelf where fabrics were placed and reached out to take down several types of fabrics with red floral patterns.
Chi Wan said, "I don't need those styles. Please give me the blue, brown, and ink ones."
The curly-haired woman was stunned for a moment, and immediately did as Chi Wan said.
Huo Nan, who was standing aside without saying a word, glanced at Chi Wan's puzzled face.
The cloth was placed in front of Chi Wan.
Chi Wan lowered her head slightly, stroking back and forth with her fair fingertips.
Touch the thickness, and feel the breathability and softness.
His expression was serious, yet also revealed a sense of concentration.
Chi Wan finally chose a dark blue fabric.
She picked up the cloth, tried it on Huo Nan, and said with great satisfaction, "This color and pattern are the best. They suit you very well."
Chi Wan knew Huo Nan's figure best.
With broad shoulders, a thin waist and long legs, he looks like a clothes rack.
His clothes are too casual. If he changes into a nice new set of clothes, it will definitely be eye-catching.
Huo Nan stood upright, letting Chi Wan gesture back and forth in front of him, his body inexplicably stiff.
