Chapter 70
There is no woman who doesn’t like shopping.
The original plan of taking a walk after dinner to digest the food was shattered when Song Shuqian saw all kinds of good things that didn’t require tickets.
“Hello, how many sausages can each person buy at most?”
Song Shuqian especially likes to eat sausages. It’s all meat when you take a bite, and it tastes especially good when you add a little to porridge.
The waiter was a young man who was very good at talking. “This is a new flavor from our factory, with garlic added. No one is limited to five.”
“I want 10, for two people,” she pointed at Wei Jianguo.
The waiter took out 10 and wrapped them in oil paper.
“Will there be more free tickets for this in the future?” Song Shuqian was very willing to buy all kinds of free tickets. Tickets were hard to come by, so one less ticket was needed.
“The boutique gift box doesn’t require tickets, but it’s a little more expensive. In fact, it’s very suitable when you count the price of the ticket itself,” the waiter was very honest and basically answered whatever she asked.
Song Shuqian thanked him and left with the sausages.
Turning around, she came to Harbin’s No. 1 Department Store. However, there weren’t many people there during the New Year holidays.
It was just right for her to see if there was anything she hadn’t seen before.
One large loaf of bread, two pounds of wine-filled candy, one pound of luguo, one pound of glutinous rice noodles, and one pound of Changbai cake, that’s all the snacks counter has.
The two continued to move to the second floor, where a batch of dark green woolen cloth attracted Song Shuqian. This cloth would look good for a coat. Upon closer inspection, there was a piece of navy blue, which she would make one for Wei Jianguo.
She began to recall how many cloth coupons she had at home, and whether they were enough to make two coats.
Just as she was thinking about it, an older sister stood by the counter with a lot of cloth and said, “We have defective cloth now.”
A lot of aunts, sisters, sisters, and brothers came out from nowhere and lined up in a long line. Song Shuqian almost acted as a conditioned reflex, pulling Wei Jianguo over to line up.
Wei Jianguo was scared to death, “Stomach, stomach, wife, stomach,” and was sweating in anxiety.
The one standing there was still criticizing her, “Wife, you must remember that you are a pregnant woman with a baby in your belly. You can’t be reckless. You should take the initiative to avoid the crowd when you see it. Move as slowly as possible. Don’t run, you must not run.”
Song Shuqian also knew that she was wrong and listened to the lecture obediently.
The people standing in front and behind them heard what the two said and held back their laughter.
An experienced elder brother said to Wei Jianguo, “The old women in our Harbin are so fierce. When my wife was pregnant with the second child, she still went to grab meat. If she doesn’t listen, you should try to take over these jobs and don’t let her touch the money.” Before
Wei Jianguo could react, the elder sister in front was unhappy, “Bullshit, if my wife dares to take away my housekeeping power, I will scratch her face. Don’t listen to him, young man, auntie tells you that the mood of the pregnant woman is the most important. You can take over the heavy work, but you can’t take over the power.”
The elder brother disagreed, and the two of them became stubborn across Song Shuqian and the others. Song Shuqian and Wei Jianguo didn’t have time to say a word.
They could only concentrate on waiting to buy cloth.
When it was finally their turn, the waitress was already very impatient, “Which one do you want?”
Song Shuqian quickly handed over two White Rabbit milk candies, “Sister, I want to buy something soft to make some clothes for the baby in my belly. I don’t know which one is suitable.
” The waitress took the candies and was in a good mood, “This piece of cotton cloth is just dyed badly, but it doesn’t affect wearing.”
Song Shuqian was generous, “Sister, I want this half piece of cotton cloth. This kind of cotton cloth is rare, and I will prepare it for my future children. Sister, I also want to buy some woolen cloth. Do we have any that don’t require a ticket?” This time she handed over 5 White Rabbit candies without a word.
The elder sister collected things very quickly, and it was obvious that she was a skilled worker, “Yes, I’ll take you there later.”
After Song Shuqian bought the cotton cloth, she waited for the elder sister on the side.
The elder sister was also a talkative person. Seeing how Song Shuqian and Wei Jianguo were dressed, and knowing that they lived in the Harbin Municipal Government Guesthouse, she knew that they were not ordinary people and wanted to make friends with them. She took them to the warehouse and said, “Here it is. These woolen cloths are from last year. They were not stored properly and were bitten by insects. It looks serious, but it’s okay. People who know how to cut can just avoid them.”
Song Shuqian looked and thought it was okay. She could also embroider and decorate where needed. She
bought enough to make two coats, one navy blue and one off-white.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
The eldest sister asked, “There are also canned goods that don’t require tickets. Do you want them?”
Yes, yes, yes, Song Shuqian quickly replied, how could I not want this? Eating canned food in winter is so beautiful.
When she and the eldest sister separated, they exchanged contact information so that they could keep in touch in the future.
After a walk around, Song Shuqian was quite satisfied and a little tired, so she planned to go back and rest.
Wei Jianguo followed Song Shuqian closely, fearing that she would see a store and go in directly. He never knew that his wife was still a stickler.
The two returned to the hotel with a bunch of things.
Song Shuqian was so tired that she said, “I’m going to take a bath first, and then go to sleep, you sort these things out”, and then she went into the bathroom without looking back.
Wei Jianguo looked at the pile of things and resigned himself to tidying them up.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Song Shuqian came out of the bath and it was completely dark outside.
For the first time, Wei Jianguo had an intuitive understanding of the latitude his wife was talking about.
Song Shuqian came out of the bath and lay on the bed, letting Wei Jianguo wipe her hair.
When her hair was done, she was already snoring.
Wei Jianguo was reluctant to wake her up, and planned to eat something from the magic gourd with his wife at night.
Have a good rest today.
