Chapter 204 Buying a Watch



After the two reached the same agreement, the dispute caused by their disagreement came to an end.

Although Gu Mingjing was skeptical about the future that Jianshu talked about, it did not stop him from looking forward to it.

Under Gu Youqian Mingjing's strong wish, Jianshu quickly agreed to the trip upstairs.

Since I have so many tickets, I might as well take a look around the third floor.

After the two went downstairs and put everything in their hands with Pan Ning, they walked briskly to the third floor.

Compared to the noise on the first and second floors, the moment you reach the third floor, you'll wonder if you've arrived in another time. It's so quiet.

The things sold on the first and second floors are basically all kinds of daily necessities, whether it is pots and pans, clothes, shoes and socks, or oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, these are must-buys.

But the third floor is different. The third floor mainly sells large items such as sewing machines, televisions, electric fans, watches, radios, bicycles, etc., which can be said to be luxury goods in this era and not everyone can afford them.

If you can't afford it, you naturally won't come. Otherwise, the salesperson's sharp words will make you feel ashamed and angry to death.

Therefore, the third floor is generally quiet and peaceful, and even if you hear occasional conversations, it will not make people feel annoyed.

There were scattered people in various corners of the third floor. Looking around, the huge third floor was surprisingly empty, forming a sharp contrast with the downstairs. At this moment, Jianshu felt as if he was purified.

After stepping onto the third floor, Gu Mingjing pulled Jianshu and ran towards the watch counter.

Jianshu already had a bicycle and a sewing machine at home; they weren't consumables, so there was no need to buy a second one. As for the TV and electric fan, he didn't have any tickets, so it was pointless to look at them. So, the best counter to go to was the watch counter.

He also discovered these days that it was quite inconvenient for Shushu to not have a watch, as he could not know the exact time at any time. At that time, Gu Mingjing had the idea of ​​buying a watch.

Jianshu had no opinion on which counter to go to; it was fine with her. Of course, she didn't know what Gu Mingjing was thinking. If she knew, she would just roll her eyes at him. She couldn't blame anyone.

It's all his fault. If it weren't for him, she'd be using her phone and tablet every day. She has digital watches, mechanical watches, quartz watches, and even a Little Genius phone watch.

There are also various kinds of alarm clocks, in the shape of Ultraman, kitten, and Monkey King... She has a lot of them!

But because of his presence, it is inconvenient for her to take it out?

You know, when he is not around, the alarm clock that wakes her up in the morning is never the same every week.

She didn't care that she didn't have a watch on her wrist.

Okay, I still care a little.

She had wanted to buy a watch for a long time, not for any other reason, but because she felt uncomfortable without something on her wrist.

In the past, I wore various bracelets, bangles, wristbands, watches... in rotation, and sometimes stacked them up from time to time.

But now it is impossible. She dare not take out any jewelry. The only thing she can wear on her wrist openly is a watch.

Whether it is for the convenience of seeing time, or to get used to wearing something, or just to look good, she really wants to buy a watch.

But it never happened.

It’s not a matter of money. An ordinary watch costs only a little over a hundred yuan, and an expensive one only costs a few hundred yuan. She has no pressure to buy it.

The main reason is that she doesn’t have a ticket.

Watch tickets are precious and are usually distributed among various units. Some units rely on lotteries, while others rely on seniority, but in any case, everyone has their own unique skills.

The department store relies on a lottery, and it all depends on luck. Whether you can win depends on whether you are European or African.

He was an African among Africans. Perhaps the time travel had drained all her luck; in the past two years, she hadn't won a single draw. And it wasn't just her; no one in the entire finance department, including Li Li and Pan Ning, had won.

This made Jianshu wonder if she had reached such a point that even the people around her were infected by her.

This African is so terrifying!

Thus, even her hope of exchanging the ticket with someone else was dashed. As for the person who had drawn the ticket, she was unfamiliar with it, and exchanging tickets with someone she knew was best done with, as it could easily lead to problems. Secondly, most people wouldn't want to exchange tickets, as those who worked at the department store generally had decent salaries and could afford it after saving up for a while.

Since the formal channels did not work, Jianshu also considered buying a watch through the black market. Later, he found that watches purchased from department stores would be issued with a receipt, which was proof of purchase.

However, if you get it through the black market, there will be no proof, and if someone comes to check, it will easily cause trouble. So Jianshu finally gave up this idea.

After a long time, she just became more relaxed and decided to just wear a hairband on her wrist. Hairbands are so pretty. They can be used to tie hair and serve as decorations, killing two birds with one stone.

She bought a lot of this stuff. After all, there are a lot of hairbands on Taobao that are priced at 9.9 yuan with free shipping, so 9.9 yuan can buy a lot.

Although, her hair is short and may not be able to be tied up.

Anyway, at home, she has a series of tools such as mobile phones and tablets to check the time. When she gets to the department store, everyone except her has a watch. If she wants to know something, she can just ask anyone and get the answer.

Jianshu had already given up on buying a watch, but as he looked at the direction Gu Mingjing was heading, anticipation appeared in his eyes and he smiled happily.

The watch counter in the department store is very large, and there are many brands and styles of watches, such as Shanghai, Seagull, Omega...

Several cabinets are filled with watches, and the reflected light under the lights is irritating to the eyes.

The two men immediately came over. The waitress at the counter was dozing off. Perhaps the noise of the two men disturbed her, or perhaps she had not slept soundly at all. She shuddered and immediately woke up.

"You guys..." After finally taking a nap, the salesperson, who had already been "spoiled", was suddenly awakened and wanted to point at the washbasin and curse.

But after seeing Gu Mingjing's military uniform, he immediately changed his tone. "Comrades, do you have any watches you like? If so, tell me and I'll show them to you. If not, do you want me to introduce one to you?"

She is just arrogant, but that doesn't mean she is a fool. She knows exactly who can and cannot be provoked by her.

It's just like that, serving different dishes to different people.

Looking at the scene before him that resembled face-changing in Peking Opera, Jian Shu shook his head and laughed, "No need, comrade. Let's take a look for ourselves."

She doesn't like people chattering in her ears while she's shopping, and she doesn't like people following her around.

To her, this was not a form of respect, but rather a kind of surveillance, which was very unpleasant.
