Zhou Jinchuan’s words immediately perked up the saleswoman standing nearby, and she quickly brought over several dresses for Su Yi to try on.
Su Yi had no choice but to try them on, and finally bought a simple and elegant light yellow dress, as well as a white shirt and a black skirt with white polka dots, which were two separate pieces.
After buying these, Su Yi felt it was about time to go eat.
As they were walking down to the first floor, they saw many people gathered around buying leather shoes, which were said to be the latest styles from out of town.
Su Yi glanced over and saw a pair of red small leather shoes with buckles, which would be perfect for matching with Nuannuan’s princess dress, so she pulled Nuannuan over to join the queue.
Zhou Jinchuan and Ye Xiaowu had put the things they bought back in the car, and by the time they came back, they were almost at the front of the queue.
Su Yi quickly waved to them, “Which of these two pairs do you think looks better?”
Ye Xiaowu chuckled, “They both look good, but Nuannuan’s feet are a bit chubby, so it’s better to buy round-toe shoes.”
Ye Nuannuan pouted and hummed.
Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh, “There are also men’s shoes here, Xiaowu, do you want a pair?”
Ye Xiaowu quickly waved his hands, “I don’t wear leather shoes, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to run fast in school. Auntie, buy yourself a pair? I saw the aunties on the street wearing them, they look really nice.”
Zhou Jinchuan also smiled and chimed in, “Buy a pair of high heels, they’ll look good with the skirt you bought earlier.”
Su Yi followed the direction of his finger and saw that they were stiletto heels, so she quickly shook her head, “I can’t wear such high heels.”
Then, she seriously picked out a pair of low-heeled square-toe shoes from the side, “How about these?”
Zhou Jinchuan looked down at the shoes and smiled, praising her good taste. He then reached for his wallet to pay.
He had been the one paying for everything they bought along the way.
He usually didn’t think much about spending money, but he didn’t realize how quickly it could disappear.
He didn’t have enough left to buy two pairs of shoes.
But it was no wonder. Since they had been together, Zhou Jinchuan had handed over all his money to Su Yi.
He had recently received a bonus and had turned it all over to her as well.
He only had about a month’s allowance left, which wasn’t enough to buy so many things.
Seeing his expression, the cashier didn’t think he was short of money, so she smiled and asked, “Did you forget your wallet?”
Zhou Jinchuan awkwardly twitched his lips and glanced back for help.
Su Yi immediately understood and stepped forward to pay.
The saleswoman smiled at the two of them, and while writing up the receipt, she said, “My husband’s money is also managed by me. My mother said that good men let their wives manage the money.”
Someone nearby chimed in, “That’s true, men with money in their hands become arrogant and forget who they are.”
Some people took the opportunity to criticize the steward beside them, “Look at others, the man looks talented, but he still puts all his money on his wife. You, on the other hand, keep emphasizing the importance of face all the time.”
Su Yi blushed after hearing a few sentences.
She quickly handed the list to Zhou Jinchuan to pick up the shoes, and hurriedly pulled him and fled outside.
After leaving the department store, Su Yi quickly handed her wallet to Zhou Jinchuan, “It’s my negligence. I forgot that you don’t have much money left on you. You always insist on paying for my own things and things I bring for others. In the future, keep your allowance and bonuses for yourself.”
Zhou Jinchuan smiled slightly, “No, I don’t usually spend much money anyway. I can just ask you for money in advance when we go out in the future.”
With that, Zhou Jinchuan took the wallet, took out a few bills from it, and handed the rest back to Su Yi, “You keep this, and request from you when needed in the future.”
Walking on the main road, Su Yi didn’t say anything, just gave him a glance and put away her wallet.
After shopping, they went to eat.
After walking for a while along the department store, they saw a newly opened restaurant selling river fresh food, which was relatively rare in the Northwest.
Su Yi was about to take the children in to have a look when Zhou Jinchuan stopped her, pointing to a western restaurant across the street,
“There seems to be a new western restaurant over there, it looks quite good. Do you want to try it?”
Su Yi followed his finger and saw a western restaurant indeed.
Since coming to this world, Su Yi had never eaten western food before, so she was curious. She wondered what western food was like in the early 1980s.
The two children were also curious since they had never eaten western food before.
However, the river fresh restaurant in front of them was also very tempting.
Seeing that all three of them were looking hesitant, Zhou Jinchuan couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “I suggest we have lunch at this river fresh restaurant first, and then go to the western restaurant in the evening. The atmosphere of western restaurants is better in the evening.”
“Evening?” Su Yi quickly shook her head, “We should go back early after we finish eating.”
“No rush, it’s rare to come here. How about we go to the market in the afternoon, then go watch a movie? I saw a new movie playing when we passed by.”
Ye Xiaowu and Ye Nuannuan had also noticed that.
On the way here, the market was filled with all kinds of stalls, very lively.
In front of the cinema, there were a lot of people queuing up to buy tickets.
Seeing Su Yi hesitate, Zhou Jinchuan winked at Ye Nuannuan, “Nuannuan, do you want to eat western food? Do you want to go to the market? Do you want to watch a movie?”
Ye Nuannuan quickly said “yes” to all three questions, then pulled Su Yi, “Auntie, Nuannuan has never eaten western food before. Is western food delicious?”
Ye Xiaowu also smiled, “I haven’t watched a movie either.”
Su Yi glared at him, “Haven’t you seen enough movies in the compound?”
“I haven’t watched a movie in a cinema.” Ye Xiaowu quickly corrected.
Seeing how excited the two children were, Su Yi’s heart softened. She readily nodded, “Alright, let’s eat here first, then go to the market to digest after we finish eating, then go watch a movie, and finally go to the western restaurant.”
As she spoke, Su Yi looked at Zhou Jinchuan with concern, “Is it safe to drive back at night?”
Zhou Jinchuan curled his lips, with a meaningful look, “Then we’ll stay at the guesthouse tonight and go back tomorrow morning.”
Seeing his smug look, Su Yi immediately understood, “Did you plan this all along?”
Before she could finish, Zhou Jinchuan directly hugged Nuannuan and pulled Xiaowu into the river fresh restaurant.
Seeing this, Su Yi could only hurriedly follow them in.
The four of them had lunch, then walked around the market and bought a lot of snacks to hold in their hands, ready to eat while watching the movie.
At the cinema, Zhou Jinchuan saw the long queue and told Su Yi to take the two children to sit on the chairs nearby.
He would find them after he finished queuing.
