Chapter 371 Shopping
"I think your cousin doesn't look very old. Where does he work?" A roommate was passing by the door and saw him walking out with Kang Mingyuan.
"My cousin and I are in the same class. He goes to the University of Science and Technology of China."
"He got married at such a young age? Are he and his wife childhood sweethearts?" someone asked in surprise. Most of them who serve in the army get married late, and very few of them get married at the age of 20.
"They haven't gotten married yet, but they're engaged." Han Yimo explained.
"Looking at this, it seems that your new cousin's wife is quite nice. She's willing to cook for her fiancé's cousin before they even get married."
"My cousin's wife who came here is also my friend. We used to go through hardships together in the countryside. Otherwise, how could she cook for others?" Han said with a hint of pride.
"Have you also been to the countryside?" someone asked in surprise.
"Well, my cousin and I went to the countryside when we were ten years old. We stayed there for more than two years before coming back. Then I joined the army and my cousin went to work. Last year, my cousin-in-law who came from abroad was admitted to university and returned to Donghai. The three of us met again." Han Yimo nodded.
"That's right. There are few of our peers who haven't been to the countryside." The roommate nodded. He also spent two years in the countryside before joining the army with the help of his family. This year, he was lucky enough to be admitted to the military academy.
Qiao Mo and Kang Mingyuan quickly entered the city. Kang Mingyuan did not go back to the Qiao family directly, but took Qiao Mo to the Friendship Store.
"Brother Yuan, what are you doing here? What do you want to buy?" Qiao Mo asked when he saw the sign of Friendship Store.
"Aren't you going to make your wedding dress yourself? Let's go inside and see if there is any suitable fabric." Kang Mingyuan opened the car door for her, reached out and took her hand as they got out of the car.
"Isn't this too early?"
"It's getting late and you still have to go to school. We have to get ready early."
After thinking it over, Qiao Mo followed Kang Mingyuan into the Friendship Store: she didn't have much time to make clothes herself, so it would be a good idea to buy the fabric first.
This was her first time entering the Friendship Store. It was indeed a store specially designed to serve overseas Chinese. It was much more luxurious than a department store and was divided into three floors. The first floor was for daily necessities and ready-made clothes and fabrics; the second floor was for expensive items such as electrical appliances, watches, and bicycles; and the third floor was for some embroidery, Chinese paintings, porcelain and other artworks.
"Brother Yuan, let's go to the third floor to see the artworks first." Qiao Mo said, looking at the sign at the door.
"Okay, let's go to the third floor first." Kang Mingyuan nodded and followed Qiao Mo directly to the third floor.
When Qiao Mo saw the exquisite porcelain, magnificent embroidery and fascinating Chinese paintings, she thought, these are all our national treasures. Unfortunately, buying things here not only requires money but also overseas remittance coupons. Although she has money, she does not have overseas remittance coupons, so she cannot buy a few embroidery and Chinese paintings for her collection.
"Do you like these?" Kang Mingyuan asked with a smile when he saw Qiao Mo's eyes shining when he looked at the embroidery and Chinese paintings.
"Well, look, these are so beautiful, don't you like them?" Qiao Mo asked, pointing to an embroidery with a beautiful view of lakes and mountains.
"Top-grade Suzhou embroidery, it's really good." Kang Mingyuan looked carefully at the painting of lakes and mountains and nodded. He then looked at the price and counted the remittance coupons in his hand. "If you like it, buy it."
"I don't have any overseas remittance vouchers." Qiao Mo told the truth.
