Chapter 99 Purchasing
Soon, Aunt Qu came out with a stack of tickets and money, and said happily:
"Here, Xiao Wang, keep the 246 yuan.
This is a radio ticket, a sewing ticket, and a watch ticket.
There are also five pounds of candy tickets and three pounds of milk candy tickets.
There are three cloth coupons worth five shicun, and five non-staple food coupons worth one jin.
There are ten Class B cigarette tickets and ten wine tickets.
Come on, Xiao Wang, these tickets are all for you."
Wang Yuanchao looked at Aunt Qu with a moved heart, waving his hands and saying:
"Aunt Qu, this is too much, too much. How can I exchange so many tickets? I can't accept this."
Aunt Qu smiled kindly and said:
"Xiao Wang, it's fate that we met. Although this is only the second time we've dealt with each other, the old lady still treats you as her junior.
We have many workers in our family, and we have many tickets every month, so they are not that precious. You are getting married, so as an elder, shouldn’t I show some appreciation? Come, take them all. The extra money is a token of Aunt Qu’s appreciation. Take it.”
Wang Yuanchao held the ticket that Aunt Qu forced into his hand, feeling the kindness from Aunt Qu, and felt warm in his heart. He thought there were still many good people in this world.
After thanking Aunt Qu, Wang Yuanchao still needed to go to the department store to purchase supplies.
So after saying goodbye, he rode away on his bike without worrying about how Aunt Qu would be able to finish all the meat by herself.
After arriving at the department store, Wang Yuanchao first went to the radio counter, took out the radio ticket and asked:
"Hello, comrade, how much is this Red Lantern brand radio?"
"The red light radio is 32 dollars."
Wang Yuanchao counted the money, handed it over and said, "Please give me one, and ten batteries."
The counter clerk looked at Wang Yuanchao curiously and asked:
"Why do you need so many batteries?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"I am a sent-down youth in the countryside with the Red Flag Brigade. There are no batteries for sale there. If I want to buy batteries, I need to go to the city. It's too troublesome, so I might as well buy more all the time."
The salesperson nodded, took the money and counted it, then took out ten batteries and a radio from the counter and handed them to Wang Yuanchao.
Wang Yuanchao put the radio into the bamboo basket behind him and continued walking towards the watch counter.
"Hello, comrade, how much is this ladies' Plum blossom watch?"
"Do you have a ticket?"
Wang Yuanchao quickly raised the ticket in his hand and said, "Comrade, I have a ticket, look."
"Well, a ladies' Plum watch is 130 yuan."
Wang Yuanchao handed over the banknotes, took the watch, and went to the food counter and the candy counter, where he bought three catties of peach cakes, one catty of honey three-knife cakes, one catty of egg cakes, five catties of fruit candies, and three catties of White Rabbit milk candies.
Then he went to the clothing counter and bought two sets of red floral braids for Zhang Yuanyuan and 15 inches of bright red embroidered cotton cloth.
Prepare quilts, pillowcases and sheets for the wedding.
Finally, I came to the cosmetics counter and bought two boxes of vanishing cream, two boxes of clam oil, and two boxes of Seagull shampoo.
Then he bought a sewing machine, moved it next to the bicycle, tied it tightly with a hemp rope, and rode the bicycle towards the Red Flag Brigade.
When we returned to the Hongqi Brigade, we were lucky that we hadn't finished work yet. After entering the village, many children followed Wang Yuanchao's bicycle.
But he arrived at his yard without any obstruction.
After Wang Yuanchao put all the purchased supplies into his room, he took some fruit candies, went to the gate, sent the children away, locked the gate, and walked towards the poultry breeding base.
After arriving at the farm's office, Wang Yuanchao had just made some tea in an enamel pot, but before he started drinking, Zhang Yuanyuan walked in with a look of grievance on her face.
"Brother Yuanchao, what were you doing this afternoon? I looked for you for a long time but couldn't find you."
Wang Yuanchao felt a pang in his heart and decided to take Zhang Yuanyuan home as soon as possible to be a housewife and not let her continue to work at the farm.
Otherwise, I would be controlled so strictly every day, how can I have any freedom?
"Didn't your mother tell me that if I wanted to marry you, I would need a sewing machine and 50 yuan as a gift? This afternoon, I asked Secretary Zeng to write me a letter of introduction and went to the city to buy the things we need for our wedding."
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Wang Yuanchao in surprise, her face full of joy, then turned around and said with some concern: "Ah, Brother Yuanchao, you bought the things so quickly?
But why does my mother ask you to buy a sewing machine? And there is also a 50 yuan betrothal gift money, which is too much.
Here, it only costs 10 or 20 yuan to marry a wife. Why would anyone want such a high gift?"
Wang Yuanchao held Zhang Yuanyuan horizontally on his lap, kissed her thick lips, and said lovingly:
"Silly boy, in my heart, you are a priceless treasure. Since I can give you some of your belongings, I am willing to give them to you.
Marriage is a matter between the two of us, and we will live together as a couple from now on.
We don't have to compare with others, how much other people's wedding gifts are.
It doesn't matter how much dowry you give us when we marry. As long as you are happy and I am happy, nothing else matters."
Zhang Yuanyuan buried her head in Wang Yuanchao's chest with a happy look on her face, and murmured:
"Brother Yuan Chao, meeting you is the greatest happiness in my life. Being able to marry you makes my heart feel as if it is filled with honey every day. Every day is sweet."
Wang Yuanchao naturally knew that during the passionate love period between a man and a woman, even shit smells good, but after being together for a long time, when the passion of both parties subsides, many problems will erupt. This is why many men and women who are obviously madly in love often quarrel after getting married.
When people live in the world, whether it is family, love or friendship, there is often a phenomenon of "far away is fragrant, near is smelly, far away relatives are near enemies".
Because no one is perfect, if people stay together for a long time, many people's problems will burst out.
At that time in a marriage, the affection between the two parties will slowly turn into family affection, and the relationship between the husband and wife will slowly evolve into either the east wind prevailing over the west wind, or the west wind prevailing over the east wind. Many families cannot handle this situation well, and it is easy for the family to become a mess.
So since Wang Yuanchao has decided on Zhang Yuanyuan and wants to marry her, Wang Yuanchao, who has a lifetime of experience,
From now on, we must start taking action to prevent conflicts that are likely to break out in the couple's future lives. Since one spouse is destined to be strong and the other weak in the future, it would be better for the man to be the breadwinner outside and the woman to be the homemaker from the beginning, so as to solve the problem at the source.
Of course, such a solution is only suitable for people like Wang Yuanchao who have golden fingers and are not short of money or materials. Otherwise, if such a lifestyle is adopted, when a man can no longer support his family, that is when the family will fall apart.
Alas, it is too strict. Another chapter has been censored for no apparent reason. It will probably not be released until tomorrow afternoon. I hope all book friends will understand and understand!
