Chapter 20

After that, the three of them stopped talking and concentrated on eating the jerky rice.

Jiang Manfu and Lu Yunsheng ate their fill, which was rare. Jiang Yan was also about 80% full. Of course, they also spent a lot of money.

However, this was all supported by the Jiang family, so Jiang Yan didn’t feel too bad about it.

After paying the money and food coupons, the three of them went straight to the largest department store in the city.

This is a four-story building, a regular rectangular block, but it looks very new and must have been built in recent years.

When you walk into the mall, you will see a wide variety of goods. Apart from the different decoration, it is no worse than the department stores of later generations.

Jiang Yan had a clear goal and went straight to the furniture dividing slot according to the waiter’s instructions.

Furniture is relatively expensive and people don’t buy it very often. Plus, wood resources are plentiful so no tickets are required; as long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want.

Before Jiang Yan even started, Lu Yunsheng had already started picking out the most expensive items: a double bed for 107 yuan, a four-door wardrobe for 116 yuan, and her dressing table for 68 yuan.

The total amount was nearly three hundred yuan. Jiang Yan was a little hesitant. Although the furniture these days was of good quality and could be used for a lifetime, it would be painful to lose so much of her savings all of a sudden!

Seeing Jiang Yan’s tangled look, Lu Yunsheng whispered, “Don’t feel bad, these are all things that need to be bought, they will be needed in the future, and our family has money.”

If you think about it carefully, she has 5,000 yuan, so it would be worthwhile to buy some furniture that can be used for a lifetime.

So Jiang Yan paid the money happily and bought an extra cupboard.

Although the price is a bit expensive at over seventy yuan, the inside of the cabinet under the cupboard is lined with thick iron plates that even mice cannot bite through. Its main feature is that it is sturdy and durable.

Then she bought a cabinet for the living room and some bamboo chairs.

Afterwards, Lu Yunsheng took Jiang Yan to the clothing and fabric area for a look.

The ready-made clothes were quite expensive, so Jiang Yan only picked out two sets of clothes with decent styles, and also picked two sets for Lu Yunsheng.

Judging from the color matching, there is a bit of a couple’s outfit feel to it.

Thinking that it was just the beginning of spring and winter was still half a year away, Jiang Yan did not prepare any winter clothes. She could buy them when she got to know the place better.

After hearing from Lu Yunsheng that many sisters-in-law in the family compound could make their own clothes, Jiang Yan bought a lot of cloth, thinking that if she met a sister-in-law she was familiar with in the future, she could ask her to make custom clothes for her according to her favorite styles.

After a trip to the mall, the two of them spent all the cloth coupons they had saved.

Finally, Lu Yunsheng took Jiang Yan to the industrial commodities area.

“What are you doing here? These things are expensive and require tickets. Forget it.”

Having spent several hundred dollars today, Jiang Yan doesn’t want to spend any more. She is still thinking about saving her first pot of gold. Although five thousand yuan is a lot, starting a business is a bottomless pit and five thousand yuan is far from enough.

But this time Lu Yunsheng was unusually persistent. He pulled Jiang Yan and said, “I have to buy you a watch when you get married. My mom also has a watch when she got married.”

In fact, Jiang Yan doesn’t care.

Her conditions were not bad before she traveled through time, and she had seen all kinds of good watches, but Lu Yunsheng’s expression made Jiang Yan realize that he was serious and would not change his mind.

Lu Yunsheng is good-looking to begin with, and this serious expression makes him look even more extraordinary. His pair of black eyes are like a whirlpool that draws people deeply, charming and dangerous.

Jiang Yan subconsciously reached out and touched his face, as if she was soothing a restless big dog, “Okay, then let’s buy a pair of watches for men and women.”

“Um.”

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lu Yunsheng smiled happily.

The two of them were showing off their love without caring about others, which hurt the eyes of people around them.

Passerby.

“I don’t know why? I feel a little uncomfortable and want to beat them up.”

“I agree.”

“They are going too far. How can I face that lazy guy at home who keeps saying how hard he works?”

“Same person, different fate.”

“Bah, what kind of style is that? If you want to be intimate, go home. What’s the point of doing it in public? It’s as if everyone has it.”

…

Passersby were envious and jealous, so jealous that they could drink a jar of vinegar.

The watch waitress looked at the two of them with an indescribable expression. Did these two people come here on purpose to make her uncomfortable?

Are you making fun of her for not having a boyfriend?

Doesn’t she want to have it?

She can’t find it!

Thinking of this, the waiter wanted to scold the two of them, but they had just said they wanted to buy a watch and he saw the slogan on the wall.

“You are not allowed to insult or beat customers, otherwise you will be punished and criticized in the notice.”

She endured it.

Afterwards, Jiang Yan and Lu Yunsheng picked out a men’s watch and a women’s watch, spending two industrial tickets and 235 yuan.

Both watches are mechanical watches and are self-winding. They will automatically wind as long as you wear them and maintain the amount of wrist activity and wearing time. If the activity is insufficient, you can also wind them manually.

But generally speaking, if you wear it every day, you don’t need to wind it manually.

After putting on the watch, Jiang Yan took a look at it. It was quite nice looking. It really proved the old saying that the more you look at it, the better it likes it.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit came over and said that the furniture they bought had been loaded into the car.

Lu Yunsheng is a soldier and he came in a military vehicle, so the mall took the initiative to send people to help load the furniture into the vehicle.

In this era, soldiers have a very high social status and will receive preferential treatment when they go to other units. Of course, the degree of this preferential treatment also depends on your military rank.

Originally, Lu Yunsheng didn’t want to trouble the department store, but the manager of this mall was so enthusiastic that he couldn’t refuse.

After expressing their gratitude, Jiang Yan and the other two returned home with great rewards.

I returned to the family compound and moved all the furniture into the house and put them away. It was already dark, and the living room and yard were full of the things I bought today. It was very messy.

Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Manfu who had just finished unloading the goods and said, “Comrade Jiang, eat later before leaving. I’ll make some plain noodles. It will be quick.”

Jiang Manfu poked his head out of the car, a broad smile on his youthful face, “Sister-in-law, no need to bother, I’ll go back to the team to eat, you guys still have to clean up for a while, and I have to return this car quickly.”

“this……”

Jiang Yan felt that she had troubled the other person for a whole day, and would feel guilty if she did not invite him to dinner. She was worried that others would say that Lu Yunsheng was taking advantage of his position to exploit the soldiers under him.

Lu Yunsheng said, “Let him go. The team has its rules.”

Jiang Manfu also knew that Jiang Yan really wanted to keep him for dinner, so he smiled warmly and said, “Sister-in-law, Commander, I’ll leave first.”

“etc.”

Jiang Yan called the man over, trotted over to stand beside Lu Yunsheng, then took out two handfuls of candies from her pocket and stuffed them into Jiang Manfu’s pocket.

“I was so busy today that I didn’t even have a meal. Take this.”

Jiang Manfu was a little hesitant. He had never tasted such delicious candy before.

Lu Yunsheng spoke again, “Just take it if your sister-in-law asks you to. Why are you dawdling? Just take the things and get out of here.”

“Oh, okay.”

Jiang Manfu smiled happily, said goodbye to the two and drove away.

Lu Yunsheng and the other man also returned to the courtyard. They unloaded the things from the car and placed them randomly in the house. They had to put them in order quickly, and the newly bought furniture also needed to be cleaned.

Jiang Yan simply ordered two bowls of vegetarian noodles, and after eating, the two of them started to work, which lasted until most of the night.
