Zhang Shuguang had already bought the clothes the two of them would wear tomorrow in the system mall. They just had to find a chance to take them out to the street corner.
"All right!"
Zheng Yushan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was just planning to pick one at random.
This is the dress she is buying for the engagement, and Zheng Yushan doesn't want Zhang Shuguang to think she is picky and difficult to please.
I came to the watch counter and saw a few watches scattered on the counter.
"Comrade, please bring me a ladies' watch. I want this Plum Blossom brand."
Watches at that time did not have as many styles and colors as those in later generations, but each watch was a symbol of identity and status.
"Shuguang, I have a watch. My dad bought it for me when I first started working last year."
Zheng Yushan raised her wrist.
"Let Auntie wear this watch of yours. From now on, you can only wear the watch I gave you. It will turn three times and ring once. I will definitely arrange everything for you."
Zhang Shuguang had heard in his previous life that men who pay the bill are the most attractive. He had never verified this, but he thought it was better to be generous to his woman than to be stingy.
"What do you mean by three turns and one ring? You're talking weirdly."
Zheng Yushan covered her mouth and chuckled.
Zhang Shuguang was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized that the "three turns and one ring" emerged in the late 1960s and was popular in the 1970s and 1980s, and he just said it out loud.
Then Zhang Shuguang explained what three turns and one sound meant, and what thirty-six legs and seventy-two legs meant, which left Zheng Yushan stunned.
"Comrade Zhang Shuguang, my family isn't selling our daughter, so why would an engagement be so extravagant?
I'm here because we share the same aspirations and interests. I want to become your revolutionary partner, to contribute to national development and to join us in building socialism, not for pleasure."
It has only been a dozen years since the founding of the country, and people today are at their most fanatical in their faith.
Especially for children like Zheng Yushan who grew up in military compounds, they have been influenced by the older generation since childhood and their beliefs are even stronger.
Faced with Zhang Shuguang's generosity, Zheng Yushan did not show any happiness, but instead disagreed with his behavior.
"Yushan, what do you think of me? I'm not someone who only cares about pleasure and enjoys leisure. I also have a bright heart!
As long as there is an opportunity to serve the motherland, I, Zhang Shuguang, will definitely take it up and do my best until my death!
It's just that our family has the conditions, so there's no need to endure hardship. I've had enough of the hard times in the three years since my father left. "
Zhang Shuguang quickly explained.
When Zheng Yushan spoke just now, she did not turn her back to the salesperson. After hearing what Zheng Yushan said, the salesperson looked at her differently, as if he regarded her as a lazy second-generation rich kid.
"I'm sorry, I spoke a little harshly."
Zheng Yushan also understands what Zhang Shuguang's family has experienced in recent years.
It was really wrong of me to blame Zhang Shuguang so wrongly even though I knew his character so clearly.
Zheng Yushan secretly blamed herself.
"These are secondary. The main thing is that I want to give you everything I can."
Zhang Shuguang's sudden love words brought silence to the scene.
"What a talent this young man has!"
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment and gave Zhang Shuguang a thumbs up.
Which girl can resist such a shameless guy?
Zheng Yushan's face was as red as blood, and a mist rose in her beautiful eyes.
"I was so moved that I couldn't help myself and accidentally said what I really thought. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Zhang Shuguang remained calm and didn't care what the salesperson thought.
Anyway, we are just strangers and we may never meet again, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's so embarrassing."
Zheng Yushan secretly glanced at the saleswoman and quickly lowered her head.
The strong sense of happiness made Zheng Yushan feel dizzy and it was difficult for her to stand.
Is this love?
Zheng Yushan felt her heart beating faster. If her throat wasn't so tight, her heart would probably have jumped out.
It turns out that I am so important in his heart. I just criticized him. I can't do this again in the future.
"Come on, try it on."
Zhang Shuguang ignored the saleswoman with an auntie smile on her face, and Zheng Yushan's embarrassment. He directly pulled the girl's wrist, took off her old watch, and put on the new watch.
"Yeah, it's really beautiful."
Zhang Shuguang nodded with satisfaction.
"No way, this watch is exactly the same as the original one."
At that time in China, imported watches were rare, at least in this remote small county in southern Xinjiang, there were definitely no such things.
All the watches are almost the same style, with a silver case and an elastic silver strap.
The difference between the men's and women's models is only the size.
"It's different. It's different when you wear it. Even the most ordinary things will become dazzling when you put them on."
Zhang Shuguang's words were obviously exaggerated, but his tone and expression were so sincere.
"Little comrade, where do you work? You look about the same age as my eldest son, who works at the post office. Can he play with you in the future?"
Seeing the pretty girl in front of her being bewildered by the boy's few words, the saleswoman could no longer sit still.
Her son is now an adult and has a decent job, but he is too dull and honest.
His meticulous and down-to-earth character is considered an advantage in his work. Since he joined the job, there has never been a mistake in a letter or a package.
