Qin Li was still recalling her playful look when she glared at him, but when he heard her words, his face immediately turned cold.
Is she so afraid of owing him?
Want to buy him a pair of shoes in return?
"Hmph, you should use that little money to buy your own things. I have shoes to wear, so I don't need you to buy me any."
Seeing that he misunderstood, Chen Tan pursed her lips and chuckled.
"I want to hook a pair of slippers for Grandma, Aunt Wu, Sister Liu Xu, and Suonier. I know their shoe sizes, but I don't know yours. If you don't want them, forget it."
"Yes, yes, yes, who said I don't want it," Qin Li said hurriedly, an excited smile in his almond-shaped eyes, "Our Ni'er is quite capable, she can make shoes, hehe."
Chen Tan blushed at what he said and made up a reason.
"The educated youth who left last year taught me."
In fact, she can also crochet toy dolls, pendants, handbags, hats and so on.
Unfortunately, I don’t have money to buy wool at the moment, and it’s hard to exchange the crocheted yarn for money, so it’s really not worth the effort.
Qin Li had no doubts about her words. "Haha, I wear size 43. How many pairs do you want? I'll buy them."
Chen Tan found that those who bought shoe soles didn't give tickets. She took Qin Li's hand to pay and blinked her big eyes, "There are six of us, each of us gets a pair. I'll pay."
Qin Li looked at her soft white hands, which were sticking to his arms like cream, and his smile became brighter. "Okay, crochet two pairs for me."
"OK."
Chen Tan responded crisply and spent seven dollars to buy six pairs of adult soles and two pairs of children's soles.
The wool yarn required a ticket, and Qin Li paid for it with the ticket.
After buying these, Chentan started looking for a crochet hook, but they were not sold.
Qin Li quietly told her that he would make two for her when he got home.
Then buy palm oil, coconut oil and caustic soda.
The palm oil sold here is handmade in southern China. It is not filtered very cleanly, tastes bad, and does not satisfy your appetite. Even without a ticket, few people buy it.
She didn't buy it to eat, so she just bought ten kilograms and only spent four dollars and fifty cents.
She walked ahead and bought what she needed one by one.
Qin Li followed behind her carrying two baskets and secretly bought her a red woolen hat and a red scarf, the kind that were very festive.
I also bought a pink tweed jacket, a pair of black corduroy trousers, a pair of black leather cotton shoes, and four pairs of nylon socks.
Chen Tan finally finished shopping and looked back at Qin Li, who often fell behind. "Brother, I still have one thing I haven't bought. Please wait at the door. I'll be there soon."
After saying that, she ran to the lingerie counter.
She wants a small bra!
At that time, the bra style was simple, without any charming patterns or underwires. It was just two pieces of thicker cotton cloth with some cotton sandwiched in between, sewn into the shape of a bra.
No elastic straps either.
Chen Tan chose two and bought ten feet of twill cloth with white background and pink flowers and ten meters of wide elastic.
She plans to hand-sew two more replacements.
When I went to pay, I didn’t have a ticket, which was embarrassing.
When I turned around to look for Qin Li, I met his deep eyes.
It turned out that he followed.
After a moment of embarrassment, Chen Tan quickly calmed down and asked, "Brother, do you still have the cloth coupons?"
"Four more," Qin Li pointed at the bra and looked at the salesperson, "I want the best ones."
"Okay," the salesperson smiled happily. This item usually sells slowly, but today he met a generous comrade, a man.
It’s really not easy.
When she wrapped the underwear and handed it to Chen Tan, she also praised it, "This is the first time I have met a gay man who bought this for his wife. He is so nice to you."
"How much is it in total?" Chen Tan smiled lightly without explaining, otherwise the salesperson would accuse Qin Li of being a hooligan.
"Six pieces for nine dollars, plus the piece of cloth and this elastic, that makes sixteen dollars, and fifteen feet of cloth coupons."
Just as Chen Tan was about to take the money, Qin Li got there first and placed the ticket and money on the counter. "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, take care." The salesperson collected the bills and looked at Qin Li's departing figure with admiration, saying with a low laugh, "A mature man not only loves his wife, but also knows how to be polite."
Chen Tan, holding the cotton underwear and with red ears, followed Qin Li out of the department store.
The two walked a long way without saying anything, until they reached the state-owned restaurant. Qin Li finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "Put this on."
He took off his thick hat from her head and put on the red hat he bought for her. He also took off his gray scarf and put on the new red scarf he bought for her.
After a fresh look, Chen Tan's bright and clear eyes became even more moist and clear.
The snow-white skin, against the backdrop of the red scarf, has an extra layer of crimson, just like a peach in June, very tempting.
Qin Li tugged at the gray scarf around his neck, which still had her body temperature and a faint fragrance on it.
Unexplained thirst.
Being stared at by him, Chen Tan lowered his eyes, "Thank you."
I will definitely pay you back when I make money in the future.
"Don't be polite, let's go eat." Qin Li pulled her into the restaurant.
Chen Tan had little interest, but during this period, under Qin Qiuniang's guidance, her cooking skills improved dramatically.
She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get used to the food outside.
Qin Li ordered four dishes at the counter at the entrance of the restaurant. Only after he paid his food coupons, meat coupons and money did the waiter let them in.
He found a good place to sit down and took out the pair of leather cotton shoes from his backpack. "Try them on. I'm going out to do something."
"Well, thank you, big brother."
Chen Tan looked at the shoes in surprise, remembering the phrase "Do you want it?" that was circulating on the Internet in his previous life. It was far less sincere than "Here you go."
Such a domineering and considerate man is really hard to refuse.
Qin Li raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Silly girl, there is another set of clothes, take it out and see if you like it."
