I received a telegram from Wang Minghao today. He will be back tomorrow. That man is still so clingy even though he is old. Wang Li wants to go out for a walk today.
There is a large flow of people here, many streets and buildings. It is obviously Shanghai. Wang Li has never been to this area before. From a distance, she saw six-story buildings, and there seemed to be eight or nine more. The people here were well dressed.
The beauty has curly hair and wears a skirt with puffy sleeves, while the man wears a suit and tie. It is obvious that those curls are not natural. This kind of perm is popular now, which is good.
Wang Li came here by tram, and after getting off the tram she wanted to go to the department store first to have a look as it has a complete range of products.
The first floor sells non-staple food and a few vegetables. The second floor has a wall full of clothes and fabrics, as well as a few industrial products. The third floor is amazing, with bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and radios.
Wang Li wanted to buy some clothes first. Now that there was no one around her, she wanted to buy a few more pieces to keep space. Since she came to the village, she had not made clothes because her work was not clean. Wang Minghao bought her a lot of clothes when he arrived, but he had poor taste and none of the clothes he bought fit Wang Li. They were too shabby.
The clothes in Shanghai are much bigger than those in the county towns. Even though it is modern, there are many imported items. There are all kinds of things behind the counters. It is crowded here, after all, there are many rich people here.
Many people just look and probably compare. The sales clerks behind the counter also ignore everyone and wear scarves and hats. In this era, whether you eat in a restaurant or go to a department store, the waiters are all bosses. If someone's family works in a department store, who wouldn't envy them? These people feel that they are superior to others, as if they have something more than others, and they are all very proud of themselves.
There are shelves against the walls upstairs, and a counter in front of it. On the one hand, you can put things on it, and on the other hand, it can block customers from stealing things. There were too many thieves in that era. Now it is better. Everyone pays by mobile phone, so there is nothing you can steal.
The counters are also used to display wool, clothes, cloth, and cotton wool. There is a salesperson behind each counter. Each counter has a clear job and it is easy to tell who sold how much. The salespersons all wear white collars, blue work clothes, black pants, and black leather shoes. They all have short hair and look neat and tidy.
Wang Li walked around and touched things there. It’s not that she had never seen the world, but she felt that these were all fine products of this era.
A salesperson saw Wang Li turning around and asked, "Auntie, are you going to buy clothes? We have a new red cotton coat here, which is very beautiful and many people are buying it. The woman saw that Wang Li had fair skin and the clothes were quite noble, so she didn't dare to look down on her. Nowadays, people talk about clothes.
Wang Li wanted to buy a red dress at that time, but the man insisted on inviting people he knew, so he wanted to set up a few simple tables to let others see that he had finally waited, and his wait was not in vain. He loved someone for more than thirty years before he got a response.
Wang Li bought a red cotton-padded jacket, a pair of black leather shoes, and an overcoat. She also bought a blue suit, a gray Zhongshan suit, and two pairs of leather shoes for Wang Minghao. Thinking of the old man's silly grin, her mood improved.
That man is smart at work and has good marksmanship, but when it comes to Wang Li, he is like a fool. He loved to act like a spoiled child when he was young, and he is still very clingy when he is old.
Wang Li bought a lot of clothes and also tore off some fabrics for the children. When she was free, she used the sewing machine in her space to make a few more clothes for the children. The money was all earned from selling things in the past, and Wang Li converted it into current money. She gave each child one set, and her children one set. I don't know if they all like it, but except Pengfei, all the children are married. Pengfei doesn't dare to find a wife, for fear of finding someone like his mother.
Shuya's husband is always very respectful to Wang Li every time he visits Xie Wenjuan's house. It is unclear whether he is truly filial or just afraid of Xie Wenjuan.
Liu Wangjia's son is not very close to Wang Li, and his wife is even less so. The couple can do nothing as the child is disobedient.
Logically speaking, Zhao Sanniu and his wife are both honest and their children should be good, but his son doesn't even care about Wang Li.
After all, we seldom see each other, so if we don't want to be intimate, then don't be intimate. His fingers are quite even. I was originally planning to find a job for his wife, so now it saves me trouble.
Wang Li bought a lot of things, so she sat on the steps thinking about this and that. There were four big bags at her feet, but there was not much room because there were so many people here. She took a break for a while, picked up her things and ran upstairs again.
