Gu Guizhi took the paper and glanced at it. He felt that it was covered with words. He had to buy everything from bed sheets and quilt covers to bowls, chopsticks and knives.
He frowned and said, "There are too many things here. I can't go with you now. How about I let Jiang Shan go with you?"
If possible, he would rather go shopping with Qi Mengmeng, but he is still lying in bed, and he can't let Qi Mengmeng wait until his leg is healed.
Qi Mengmeng shook her head. She wrote that piece of paper just to make things clear in front of Gu Guizhi. She planned to get most of the things in the space.
"Jiang Shan will still be here with you. I'll buy some urgent things today, and you can buy the other things later."
Qi Mengmeng added when Gu Guizhi opened his mouth: "I was mentally prepared when I married you. It's just buying things. I can do it myself."
Since she said so, Gu Guizhi did not insist anymore, but he asked Qi Mengmeng to buy less things today, and he would lend her a bicycle tomorrow, so that it would be much more convenient for Qi Mengmeng to go out.
Qi Mengmeng waved her hand and said, "I have a bicycle ticket. I'll go to the department store and buy one later."
The tone in which she said this was as if she was going to buy a bunch of cabbage, which made the nurse who came in to give Gu Guizhi an IV look at her twice.
If conditions permit, Qi Mengmeng would even like to buy a car.
Although Qi Mengmeng felt it was unnecessary, Gu Guizhi still told Jiang Shan and asked him to accompany Qi Mengmeng to the department store to buy the bicycle first and then get the license plate.
Qi Mengmeng remembered that bicycles in the 1970s still needed to be registered, just like the license plates for cars in later generations.
Thinking of this, she did not reject Gu Guizhi's kindness. After all, it was indeed easier to have someone to help.
Jiang Shan first helped Gu Guizhi solve his physiological needs, and then the two of them took a car to the department store together.
Before coming, Gu Guizhi had already told Jiang Shan that he was only responsible for carrying things, and Qi Mengmeng had to decide what to buy.
The department store in the provincial capital is no different from the one in Andu City. Qi Mengmeng only took a quick look at the first floor and went straight to the fourth floor to buy a bicycle.
There are the fewest people in front of the bicycle counter. After all, only a few people can afford a bicycle these days.
The lady selling bicycles was knitting with wool in her hands, glancing at it from time to time.
Qi Mengmeng walked over and said, "Comrade, I want to buy a bicycle."
The elder sister looked Qi Mengmeng up and down, and seeing that there were no patches on her clothes, she spoke: "We only have Phoenix brand bicycles now, 180 yuan each, do you have a ticket?"
Qi Mengmeng took out the bicycle ticket and money from her pocket and handed them to her elder sister.
The lady selling the bicycle didn't expect that this person would buy it without even looking at it. She took the money and the receipt and counted them, then gave Qi Mengmeng a receipt: "Take the receipt and go to the first floor to move the bicycle."
Qi Mengmeng held the list in her hand and said something to Jiang Shan. She then looked back at the yarn in her elder sister's hand, got closer to her and asked, "Sister, the yarn in your hand is very beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
Although the weather is still a bit hot now, I heard that the winters here are extremely cold, and sweaters are a must-have. She does have two sweaters in her space, but they are both machine-knitted, unlike the hand-knitted sweaters we have now.
"Do you want to buy some wool?" The eldest sister looked at Qi Mengmeng, then at Jiang Shan who was a few steps behind her, and suddenly became enthusiastic.
"My sister is selling wool downstairs. I'll take you there." The elder sister said to the person at the counter next to her and took Qi Mengmeng downstairs enthusiastically.
Jiang Shan didn't want to get close to Qi Mengmeng, so he followed behind her.
The eldest sister glanced at Jiang Shan behind Qi Mengmeng and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what is your relationship with that person?"
Qi Mengmeng didn't know what her elder sister meant, so she just vaguely said that her husband was in the hospital and Jiang Shan was a soldier under her husband, so he was helping her move things.
The eldest sister looked back, her face full of satisfaction, and she held Qi Mengmeng's arm very close to her: "My sister is a high school student named Su Meng. She has been working in the department store for a year. You are about the same age. Just tell her what color thread you like."
It took only two minutes for Sister Su to walk from upstairs to downstairs and tell everyone about her sister's situation. Qi Mengmeng couldn't help but wonder about her purpose.
This guy is a little too enthusiastic.
"Su Meng, this girl wants to buy some wool, please pick out some good ones for her." Sister Su then asked, "Girl, what's your name?"
"Qi Mengmeng."
"Oh, my sister's name is Su Meng, and your name is Qi Mengmeng. You two should get closer." Sister Su talked to herself lively and winked at Su Meng.
"Sister, you go back first. Otherwise, if the director sees you, he will criticize you." Su Meng smiled at Qi Mengmeng awkwardly and whispered to Sister Su.
"Sister Qi, I'm going back now. If you have anything, come upstairs and find me," Sister Su said to Qi Mengmeng enthusiastically, and then said to Su Meng, "The man behind came with Sister Qi."
This sentence she specifically said made Su Meng's face flush instantly, and she urged in a low voice: "Sister, go back quickly, go back quickly."
Sister Su glared at Su Meng secretly before leaving, and said hello to Jiang Shan before leaving.
Jiang Shan smiled at Sister Su for some inexplicable reason, looking very simple.
"Comrade Qi, my eldest sister is quite enthusiastic." Su Meng forced a smile at Qi Mengmeng and said reluctantly.
Qi Mengmeng guessed that Sister Su wanted to introduce a partner to Su Meng, but the elder sister is a social expert, so is the younger sister a little socially anxious?
She stood here for three minutes, and Su Meng said this.
"Comrade Su, do you have any black wool? Can you show it to me?" Qi Mengmeng took the initiative to speak.
Su Meng quickly took out a ball of black wool from under the counter: "Pure wool, 16.30 yuan per pound, nothing else for now."
Qi Mengmeng took the yarn, tried it on her body, and asked, "Do you have any other colors?"
Su Meng didn't say anything and took out two balls of wool from the counter, one blue and one gray.
Qi Mengmeng looked at them for a while and felt that both black and gray were good. The black one looked steady, while the gray one looked elegant.
Should I buy all of them? Gu Guizhi is tall, so he probably needs two or three kilograms of wool.
Seeing Qi Mengmeng comparing them all the time, Su Meng thought she was reluctant to part with them. He looked at Jiang Shan not far away, gritted his teeth and said, "If you think it's expensive, we have some dyed ones in our warehouse, which are blended and only cost seven yuan."
Qi Mengmeng's eyes lit up instantly. This price was perfect.
"Su Meng, look at our names, they are so similar, it means we are destined to be together." Qi Mengmeng took Su Meng's hand and said, "Can I see the wool you mentioned?"
