Chapter 28: Department Store



Soon it was December, Xiao Zhuzi's birthday.

That day happened to be Sunday, a day off, and Gu Chun asked Huang Xiuxiu to go out shopping for groceries together. He also wanted to go to the department store to buy a gift for Xiao Zhuzi.

It was a rare day off, so Gu Chun was in a good mood and dressed up.

Her hair was tied into a braid with a pink ribbon woven into it, leaving a few strands of hair on her forehead. Her face was not made up in any way, but she had applied a little vanishing cream.

She wore a sweater on her upper body, and her pants were not the common baggy style, but ones she had modified herself to fit her body better. She then put on a waisted coat she had just made. The fabric of the coat was relatively thick and a little cotton was added, making it very warm to wear.

As soon as they put on this outfit, Gu Qiu and Gu Dong both loved it.

"Big sister, this dress is so beautiful." Gu Qiu touched it and felt very envious. Unfortunately, her sister said that she was a student and it was not suitable for her to wear a long coat, so she made a short coat for her.

"Be good, when there's more cloth, I'll make you one that suits you." It was because there wasn't enough cloth. One piece of cloth was only enough to make a jacket with a straight collar and pointed collar for herself and her two sisters. The cloth for the coat she was wearing was the leftover cloth from making clothes and trousers for the two boys.

"Sister, I don't want this one. I want one with flowers." Gu Dong liked the dress that his sister made for him very much. It had a circle of lace, like a flower fairy.

"Okay. I'll make clothes for you when I have cloth."

Gu Xia was holding Xiao Zhuzi and watching from the side. They had no say in what the girls said, but he also thought that his sister looked really beautiful after dressing up.

After going out and meeting Huang Xiuxiu on the street, Gu Chun was very happy when she praised his outfit today. After all, which girl doesn't love beauty?

They first went to the supply and marketing cooperative. When they heard that there was fish for sale today, they rushed in and grabbed one. They also bought some vegetables and took them home.

When I left home, Gu Dong insisted on following me, so I had to take the little brat with me.

The two sisters walked on the street holding Gu Dong's hands. The weather was getting colder and colder. In a blink of an eye, it had been half a year since Gu Chun came into this world. She felt that she had gradually integrated into this era, and her body and mind had gradually become a part of this era.

What she didn't know was that she was smiling more and more. The woman with a gentle and beautiful smile, wearing a simple but slim-fitting outfit that was not out of the ordinary, was also a beautiful scenery on the street.

The department store is not far from their home, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.

This department store is now one of the most conspicuous buildings in the city. It has three floors and many stores on each floor. It is the dream of many girls to work as a salesperson here.

Gu Chun walked into the department store and took Xiuxiu and Gu Dong directly to the grocery counter, intending to buy a small toy for Xiao Zhuzi.

When I got to the door, I saw a little fat boy standing there throwing a tantrum, with a young woman beside him frowning anxiously.

"I don't care, I don't care, you have to buy me that tin frog." The little fat boy pretended to cry.

"Okay, okay, baby, stop making trouble. Mommy will buy it for you." The woman seemed to feel sorry for the child and quickly agreed.

Gu Chun watched with amusement, feeling fortunate that her children were sensible and clean enough not to roll around on the floor in such a mess. However, even if the children were to throw a tantrum, she wouldn't compromise, as this wouldn't be good for their upbringing.

He thought it had nothing to do with him, so he took a look and was about to leave with his sister. But at this time, the little fat boy saw Gu Dong and ran over again.

"Gu Dong, why are you here? How can a poor guy like you come to a department store?"

Gu Chun instantly became furious. How could this kid be so rude?

At this time, Gu Dong replied bluntly: "You are the poor one. Why can't I come to the department store? I also saw you rolling on the ground. You are so dirty, sloppy, lololol." After saying that, he made a face at him.

The child's mother was unhappy at this time: "What are you talking about, kid? How can you be so rude?"

This is putting the blame on someone else. Gu Chun sneered: "Auntie, what did my sister say wrong? Your son is quite sloppy rolling on the ground. And he called my sister a poor person for no reason. Is he polite?"

The little fat boy jumped up and down: "Mom, she is a poor bastard. She has no parents and no food to eat. She is a poor bastard."

The woman looked at Gu Chun with disdain: "Oh, so you sisters don't have parents, how pitiful! Where did you get the money to come to the department store? Did you do something wrong?"

After saying that, he looked Gu Chun up and down. He looked so poor dressed, so he must have done something bad.

Gu Chun's face changed, and he spoke righteously, "Auntie, my parents are heroes. They died saving national property. You are insulting the children of heroes! And you're accusing me of something just because I'm wearing new clothes. You're slandering me for no reason. I didn't expect that after the country was liberated, there would still be social scum like you. You're sowing division and undermining unity. I'm reporting you to the Cabinet Committee now."

The woman was so frightened by her words that her face turned pale and her legs went weak. Seeing that Gu Chun had already turned around and was about to pull her sister away, she quickly stopped them and explained, "Wait a minute, don't talk nonsense, I didn't destroy the unity."

Gu Chun stopped and said, "I don't want to argue with you. Many people here heard what you just said. Don't try to deny it. Wait for me to report it and then you can tell those people."

When people around heard Gu Chun say that her parents were heroes, they felt sympathy for her: "That's right, we all heard it. You insulted the children of heroes, calling them unlucky people with no parents."
