Xiao Chen drove them to Hengshi Department Store.

The original owner had never been here before, and this was Song Fuyu's first time here. She felt it was a bit novel that she actually had the opportunity to go shopping in a shopping mall from the 1970s.

The Hengshi department store has three floors with light yellow walls. There are a few big red characters on the top of the main entrance, which read "Hengshi State-owned Department Store."

After her parents passed away, she studied day and night in order to understand the company's operations as quickly as possible, and sometimes only slept three or four hours a day.

Because I didn’t have time to maintain relationships, I gradually drifted away from my old friends, until later on I went shopping alone.

She didn't expect that for the first time in so many years, she would have someone to go shopping with her, and the person would be her new godfather. It felt a little magical.

She shook off the unpleasantness that had just occurred at the police station and quickly began shopping.

She had seen a sentence on the Internet before: What are the fastest ways to eliminate a girl’s depressed mood?

The most common answer is crazy shopping, followed by eating a lot, and in a nutshell it is eating and shopping.

This department store has a very complete range of products. Except for not selling hot food, it has everything from televisions and sewing machines to buttons for clothes.

"My daughter, let's go buy you some clothes first. Qin City is very cold. Let's buy some thick clothes to bring with us."

Chen Guoxing took her to the clothes counter. The counter was very long and sold a wide variety of clothes, including shirts, dresses, sweaters, cotton coats, woolen coats...

In Song Fuyu's eyes, these clothes have no other shortcomings except that they are not very good-looking. However, they are popular in this era and at least look more fashionable and elegant than those made at home.

Moreover, she had not forgotten that the clothes she was wearing were patched with seven or eight patches, so she had no right to despise these "high-end goods".

Chen Guoxing took a cotton coat and tried to put it on Song Fuyu.

"This cotton coat is nice. It feels quite thick and should be very warm to wear."

"And this tweed coat will look really good on you."

She can accept cotton-padded clothes, but this tweed coat... um... with her current height, are you sure it will look good on her and not look weird?

The length of it is probably up to her calf, and it should look like a walking stick, or an upright silkworm pupa.

"Forget about the woolen clothes. They are not suitable for wearing there. I am going to do farm work. I can't do any work wearing these clothes. I can only put them in the bottom of the box."

"Then put it in the bottom of the box."

"Besides, you can't work every day. You always have days off. You can wear it during your days off."

"Don't be afraid. I, your father, have money and brought a lot of tickets. You can buy any you like."

"Little girl, you are so lucky. Your father is so good to you."

"I've worked in this department store for nearly ten years, and I've never seen anyone as generous to his daughter as your father."

She felt envious from the bottom of her heart. There had been such generous parents in the past, but most of them bought things for their sons. There were very few who were willing to spend money on their daughters. This little girl was really very happy.

These words made Comrade Chen Guoxing, the new "daughter slave", very happy. Despite Song Fuyu's objection, he bought her three cotton coats, a woolen coat, two sweaters, and several dresses.

After buying clothes and other things, I bought her a few pairs of warm cotton shoes and some leather shoes.

After buying the shoes, he took Song Fuyu to the watch counter.

"Girl, hurry up and pick out a watch so it will be convenient for you to check the time when you get there."

"Godfather, that's not necessary. When I go to work and leave, someone in the team should be able to notify me of the time."

She felt a little embarrassed as she had already bought so many clothes and shoes.

Xiao Chen, who was following behind carrying things, had already made one trip back to the car because there were too many things to carry.

"The team's notification and your own schedule don't conflict. He notifies him, and you schedule yours. They are unrelated."

"......"

She found it impossible to refute.

Song Fuyu chose a watch worth 120 yuan, but Chen Guoxing replaced it with his treasured watch on the grounds that it was too cheap and easy to break.

It cost more than two hundred dollars, plus a watch ticket.

At this time, Song Fuyu's heart was numb. It seemed that this godfather was more willing to spend money than her, a modern person, and he gave out hundreds of dollars without even blinking an eye.

But it's normal. The director of the steel plant earns 220 yuan a month, and he also has a lot of coupons. Just based on his salary, it is already a super high salary in this era of iron rice bowl.

Although he was her godfather, she didn't think it was her right to accept things from him.

I can only wait until I go to the countryside and find a chance to send some things in the space to my godfather, and I also have to find a way to let him drink some of the spiritual spring water.

After buying the watch, just when Song Fuyu thought it was time to end their trip, the three of them drove to the Friendship Store in the west of the city, which was similar to the Overseas Chinese Stores in Jingshi and Haishi.

They mainly deal in imported goods, and some only serve foreigners, diplomats and government officials.

When entering the door, Chen Guoxing showed the other party his work ID and the overseas remittance vouchers in his hand. After confirmation, the three were allowed to enter.

"Godfather, is this Friendship Store so strict when entering?"

"No, not only are there a lot of rules, but the things they sell are also very expensive. If I didn't want to buy you some foreign snacks, I wouldn't even bother coming in."

Song Fuyu looked at his sarcastic expression and wanted to laugh.

"But I can't let you buy it here as easily as you did just now. I only have seven or eight remittance coupons. I'll exchange some with others when the time comes and send them to you after I buy them."

"You don't need to buy so much. Maybe I'm not used to eating foreign food. Just buy a little to try it out."

In the end, she only bought some imported candies, chocolates and biscuits, most of which she could have bought through the space system platform. The main reason was that there were so many things that it was difficult to carry them all, and she couldn't store them all in the space.

After coming out of the store and sitting in the car, Song Fuyu actually felt relaxed.

She felt that she had experienced the feeling she had seen in the videos before, where a boyfriend was exhausted after accompanying his girlfriend shopping. She had that feeling now, and her godfather was also quite crazy when it came to shopping.

"Take a thicker coat and put it in your luggage, and take some food with you. I'll send the rest of your clothes and blankets to the Youth League Office, and they'll ship them over to you."

"Have a good rest tonight and don't think about anything. Godfather will take care of other things for you."

"Don't carry anything on your own. You will have your godfather behind you to provide you with the strongest support."

"Thank you, godfather."

Song Fuyu smiled and thanked him, then quickly turned away.

She looked at the scene outside the car window and tears flowed out involuntarily. Slowly, the tears became more and more violent, until she covered her face and cried out loud.

It had been a long time since she heard anyone tell her not to carry it all on her own.

After her parents passed away, she seemed to be forced to grow up in an instant. Not only did she have to deal with her parents' funeral affairs, but she also had to balance her studies and learn how to manage a company.

In fact, everything is not as calm as it seems. Not only is her second uncle's family eyeing the company, but the other shareholders of the company also have their own thoughts. Over the years, she has really lived a very tiring and hard life.

When she wakes up in the middle of the night, she wishes her parents could come back, hug her, and tell her that they will help her grow up and that everything will be taken care of by them. However, this is all a dream.

But now, this dream has become a reality in this place that seems like another world to her, and she seems to be able to really stop and rest for a while.
