The saleswoman lowered her head and shut her mouth. It was embarrassing enough, and she didn't know how her sisters would look at her in the future.
I will never apologize in this life.
Lu Huaijin grabbed Xu Niannian and walked downstairs.
Xu Niannian didn't understand why she was dragged away, and didn't say anything.
The salesperson behind her breathed a sigh of relief and said that they wouldn't do anything to her unless she apologized, as they had seen too much of this.
When Lu Huaijin and Xu Niannian walked to the first floor, they stopped at the watch counter:
"Pick one and wait for me here."
After saying that, he went upstairs by himself.
Xu Niannian stayed where she was obediently, looking at the Plum brand watch counter next to her.
This is one of the three major items of the era. Watches are still very necessary, especially when you go to other places where it is not as easy to buy as in the capital.
She chose a silver thin chain watch, which looked very beautiful on her hand.
At this time, the man came back. Seeing that she liked the watch, he took out 12 Great Unity coupons and an industrial coupon from his pocket and handed them to the salesperson.
Xu Niannian secretly glanced at the men's watch next to her.
Just as she was about to leave, the salesperson from upstairs ran down and this time bent 90 degrees towards Xu Niannian:
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
His tone was filled with fear.
Xu Niannian turned her head and looked at the man:
"Did you beat her?"
Lu Huaijin's mouth twitched:
"No."
The salesperson was about to cry:
"I can't be without a job, please forgive me."
Xu Niannian is not a saint, but she is not that cruel either:
"Then you can just ask your sisters to apologize to me together."
It would be as painful for her to be embarrassed by such a person as to have her heart dug out.
The salesperson's face turned red and white, and he no longer had his usual arrogance.
After finishing his business, the man took Xu Niannian to the supply and marketing cooperative again and bought everything he could prepare. He even bought a flashlight that was so bright that it blinded people.
Because she would only be in the countryside for a few months, Lu Huaijin didn't buy her any winter supplies like a quilt.
But new sheets and quilt covers are bought in two sets. Who would be willing to spend that much in this day and age? The salesperson was amazed at the sight.
The salesperson who received two White Rabbit milk candies last time also recognized Xu Niannian, and even saw Lu Huaijin in military uniform.
She had told her mother about this before, but her mother insisted that she had been cheated.
Tsk tsk, now you're embarrassed, it turns out that the young comrade's girlfriend is actually an officer.
We returned with a full trunk of stuff.
In the car, Lu Huaijin told her the address of the Lu family's old house, and if she had any questions, she could also write to the old house.
Lu Huaijin added:
"I have already asked someone to say hello to the village chief over there in advance, and they will take better care of you."
Obviously he sounded quite considerate, but the expression on his face made her feel that he was just completing his task and that this was the treatment that anyone who became his wife should receive.
After the car stopped, Lu Huaijin opened the trunk and returned all the things she had bought today.
"I'll pick you up at the train station tomorrow."
Just about to put the stuff down.
"Wait."
Xu Niannian hurriedly called him over and saw that his face was slightly sweaty from moving things in the hot weather, and his arms were slightly bulging, revealing his muscular lines.
Lu Huaijin put down his hand and paused:
"What's wrong?"
"I made a bottle of medicinal wine earlier. Can you bring it back to my uncle for me?"
As he said that, he trotted into the house and took out the wine that had been brewed earlier from the space.
Lu Huaijin frowned as soon as he saw the packaging. Of course he knew Moutai. Why would a little girl buy Moutai?
Xu Niannian handed the Moutai in her hand to Lu Huaijin. This was the medicinal wine she made from the expensive ginseng she pulled out from the space.
Be careful when pulling it out.
"Give it to uncle. It can strengthen your body. It contains ginseng that I pulled out when I went to the mountains with my classmates. It's not very big though, so don't be disgusted."
Lu Huaijin hurriedly pushed it back;
"How can this be done?"
Xu Niannian pushed back forcefully:
"I asked for so many things from you, including electric batons, clothes, and watches. This is not for you, but for my uncle. If it works for him, I will make more for him later."
Lu Huaijin stopped pushing her, probably because he guessed it. It was just that girls are shy. Others get dowries when they get married, but she doesn't, so she feels a little embarrassed.
They talked outside for a long time and someone came over to look at them.
Lu Huaijin simply took it over:
"Okay, I thank you on behalf of my dad."
Seeing that people were about to gather around to greet Lu Huaijin, Xu Niannian gently pushed his arm:
"Then drive slowly on the road."
After giving the wine away, I felt a little shabby. Since I gave it to Father Lu, logically I should also give something to Mother Lu. Unfortunately, she was short of money. She couldn't just give two big meat buns back, right?
The fruits in the space are not ripe yet.
Lu Huaijin looked at the arm that pushed him and felt some warmth still there. Except for the time when he was fighting with female soldiers, this was the first time he was pushed by a girl.
He drove very fast all the way, went into the house and threw the wine to his father:
"Xu Niannian gave it to you."
Mother Lu had sharp eyes and wanted to hide it from him as soon as she saw it was Moutai:
"You should drink less. I'll save this for you. You can drink it when there is a happy event. It's Moutai that you are willing to buy every year."
Lu Huaijin glanced at the bottle of wine that Lu's mother was about to take away:
"She said it was a medicinal wine that would strengthen the body."
When Father Lu heard this, he clenched his hand tightly again, as he was about to let go.
"My daughter-in-law is giving me this gift of filial piety. I want to have a taste of what it tastes like."
As he said this, he went to get his small wine glass, but as he was being stared at by Mother Lu, he only dared to taste the wine and take a small sip, even though it was medicinal wine.
He smacked his lips and saw the ginseng through the mouth of the bottle:
"It tastes good. It is indeed made with Maotai liquor. It also contains ginseng."
After drinking a cup, I felt warm all over and less tired.
Especially, the weather was a bit cloudy this evening, and my old illness came back. Now I even feel a little less painful.
Another sigh:
“I feel my legs are much more comfortable.”
Mother Lu was about to put the bottle of wine in the cabinet when she immediately said unhappily:
"Even if you say that, you can't drink this wine today."
Every time I find some reason to drink more.
Father Lu put his hand on his knee and pressed it. It seemed that it was not his illusion. Why did he feel that he was lying to her?
He also snorted in dissatisfaction.
But I also began to doubt myself.
The Xu family was in a low mood during dinner.
Xu Ruhua went to see He's mother again in the afternoon and bought two kilograms of egg cakes. As a result, she was knocked to the ground and her heart was bleeding.
As a result, He's mother kept saying:
"I was planning to send a chicken feather letter this morning, but now I'm going to make a phone call!"
