After Lu Huaijin coaxed Xu Niannian, he still took them to the department store. It was inconvenient to make a trip, and he would feel like he was missing out if he didn't buy something when he returned.
When Xu Niannian went to the department store this time, she bought some cloth specifically for her baby to be made into small clothes. She didn't know the gender of the baby, so she picked out some in pink, blue and yellow.
Lu Huaijin, who was standing nearby, also noticed that these were bought for the child, so he stepped forward, touched them, and studied which fabric had better quality.
There are relatively few people who buy children's fabrics because they are expensive. Most people let their children use the leftovers from their older brothers and sisters, or simply sew and mend old clothes from adults.
Xu Niannian wanted to laugh when she saw his serious expression.
She also went to buy a pair of shoes for each of the four members of her family. Although she could make her own clothes, she still had to wear her shoes well.
I buy low-key and good quality shoes.
Just after buying shoes, when passing by the corridor, I saw Wang Rui pulling a woman and running hurriedly to the corner.
Looking at the back, she looks like Jiang Honghong.
It’s true that every time I come to the department store, I can catch up to eat melons.
Xu Niannian turned around and looked at Lu Huaijin:
"Hasn't that been found out yet?"
"Almost. We need to report to the chief, so we need to investigate more accurately. Jiang Honghong's accident was not reported to the police at the time, so not much is known about it, so it is difficult to investigate."
"So he found that gangster himself?"
"Yes, I directed and acted in my own drama. I have made a lot of money from this. I have good relationships with people and work."
Xu Niannian still wanted to know specifically how he did it, but it was not easy to say much outside.
"Just buy some fabric for mom and dad, and some thick shoes and that'll be about it."
It's not so bad here, but the elderly are more likely to catch cold, and it really won't work without thicker shoes.
Compared to the area with the children's fabric just now, it's a little hard to squeeze in here.
Lu Huaijin asked Xu Niannian about the color and approximate fabric she wanted to use, then rushed in.
When I came out, my military uniform was a little messy, but luckily I bought thick cloth.
When I was about to go home with my bags, I saw the department store staff arranging radios.
Lu Huaijin stopped and said:
"I'll buy you a radio so you can listen to music at home when you're bored."
For Xu Niannian, who has experienced the era of information explosion, the radio is not a big deal, but for people of this era, it is a good thing.
Whoever buys one will definitely be envied.
Because this thing is not as practical as a bicycle or a sewing machine, it is very expensive and not worth eating or drinking. Except for saving face at weddings, few people buy it.
The salesperson next to him heard it and praised it as well:
"This is our newest model of Red Lantern radio. It looks more beautiful than any previous one."
It is bright red all over, with two knobs on the side and a red light sign below.
It is really fashionable in this era.
Seeing the love in Xu Niannian's eyes, Lu Huaijin immediately had someone wrap it up.
Just one look and let my husband buy me a radio?
The salesperson happily went to pack the radios. She didn't expect that her sales ability was so high that she could sell one with just one sentence.
The smile on his face was very bright.
When they came out of the department store, Lu Huaijin's things were no longer hanging on him, so Xu Niannian took some light things from him.
It can be said that we have returned with a full load.
When they arrived at the family compound, it was almost time for lunch. Lu Huaijin returned the car directly and walked home with a lot of bags hanging on his body.
These were things he had never dared to think about before he got married. He was targeted as soon as he entered the family compound.
Everyone wants to see what good things they have bought, so they buy so much at once.
Someone with sharp eyes noticed that Xu Niannian was holding a radio:
"Lu's wife, is that a radio?"
The outside of the box is painted like a radio, and I don’t know if it’s a model bought for children.
Xu Niannian felt that there was no need to lie about this matter, so he replied crisply:
"Yes, sister-in-law."
Sister Li heard the commotion outside and came out. She saw someone encouraging Xu Niannian to turn on the new radio and show it to others:
"Okay, you are so shameless, let me open it for you."
"Look, it won't cost you any meat."
"That's right, let's take a look."
I happened to catch the kids coming back from school.
Lu Ze and his brother hadn't seen their aunt for a day, so when they saw her they ran over excitedly:
"Aunt, are the brothers and sisters in your belly okay?"
He knew that she went for a prenatal checkup today. He didn't understand what it meant, but it meant to see if she was okay.
Xu Niannian nodded:
"Okay, I bought a pair of shoes for both of you. Go back and try them on for size."
"Aunt is so nice."
The two little kids jumped up happily.
The crowd started discussing again.
"No wonder he bought her a radio. Lu Tuan was probably worried that his wife would be bored at home. I didn't expect he would be so thoughtful."
"Why isn't my man so considerate?"
"Come on, even if I buy it for you, would you be willing to do it?"
.......
Wang Ming was also following behind Lu Ze, so he naturally saw the radio in Xu Niannian's hand.
"Aunt Xu, is that a radio in your hand? My stepmother also had one when she got married. I'll go get it for you to have a look."
The crowd was waiting to see the two of them compare their radios.
Lu Huaijin was still holding something in his hands, and surrounded by military wives, so he couldn't stay any longer:
"I'll take the other things back first and come back to see you later."
Xu Niannian nodded. People surrounded her and she probably couldn't go out, so she sat under the big locust tree next to her and opened the box directly.
She didn't want to compare herself with Jiang Yue, but if she didn't take it down now, they would probably go to her house to see it later, so it would be better to show it to them here.
She opened the box very quickly, and people around her called out to her:
"Slow down, don't break it."
After a while, a brand new red radio appeared in front of everyone.
"It's so beautiful. I've never seen anything as beautiful as this before."
"Lu's wife, can you let us listen?"
If it looks this good, it must sound even better.
Xu Niannian installed the batteries, read the instructions, turned the button, and a melodious singing voice came out from it.
The crowd suddenly became quiet.
Before the song was over, Wang Ming ran over with Jiang Yue's radio in his hands.
The radio was on a cabinet in the living room at home, so it took him some effort to get it.
When the two are compared, they are not good enough. Jiang Yue's radio is earthy brown. If you look at it alone, it is still acceptable, but that button looks like it has obviously been pressed for a long time.
This doesn't look like it was just bought.
