Chapter 79
Wei Jianguo brought Song Shuqian to the tram station and waited for the tram.
At this time, the tram had two long tentacles on the top of its head, connecting the contact wires above and running according to the route of the wires.
Song Shuqian looked at all this curiously.
The body of the tram is light blue, and the roof is white, which looks a bit like a big blue bread.
Driving on the streets of Sijiu City is a landscape.
The two got on the bus, and there were not many people. Song Shuqian found a seat by the window and sat down. Wei Jianguo stood beside her to ensure that she could be protected in case of danger.
The tram was not very fast, and through the window, the outside world looked beautiful.
“Jianguo, do you think Sijiu City is colorful and other cities are gray? I like it here, it’s very clean and convenient.” Song Shuqian took Wei Jianguo to share her feelings.
In her eyes, the Flower Country can be divided into Sijiu City and other cities.
People here speak more energetically than other cities, very tough, and have hope for life.
When Song Shuqian came to Wangfujing Department Store, she felt that it was the first department store in the city. It was divided into two underground floors and four above-ground floors, with a construction area of 39,000 square meters.
The words 1949 and Wangfujing Department Store were hung on the building.
This is the largest department store Song Shuqian has ever visited.
“Husband, I think I will buy a lot of things today,” Song Shuqian was very excited as she pulled Wei Jianguo. In her heart, she was still the daughter of the general’s mansion, and she had never lacked money even in the most difficult times.
Wei Jianguo thought that his wife had the money returned by the state after the public-private partnership of the Song family’s industry, and the leader should know that the money was tens of thousands of yuan. In other words, Song Shuqian was not short of money on the surface.
With her allowances and task bonuses for so many years, she could buy whatever she wanted without any danger.
It seemed that he had thought a lot, but in fact it was just a moment. He said, “Then buy more and choose what you like. I’ll take it when you’re done.”
Song Shuqian was very satisfied and smiled sweetly at him.
The two rushed into the department store.
The first floor sells meat, eggs, and vegetables. There are special chicken and duck counters and pork counters, and there are many people in front. There
are fewer people selling vegetables, but only a little.
Song Shuqian turned around and saw someone selling fruit. This was a pleasant surprise. “Hello, comrade, I want two pounds of persimmons and two pounds of apples.”
The saleswoman was an aunt with a very good attitude. “One pound of apples is 0.3 yuan, and one pound of persimmons is 0.25 yuan. A total of one dollar and one pound of fruit tickets.”
Wei Jianguo paid the money and the two continued to shop with their things.
When they came to the candy counter, Song Shuqian took a fancy to chocolate. She had eaten this thing before, but not much, and she liked it very much.
“Comrade, I want two pounds of this chocolate,” Wei Jianguo’s voice sounded.
This kind of chocolate seems to be sold only in the old city. They have never seen it in other cities. Now that they have seen it, they want to buy more.
Song Shuqian looked around the candy counter and found a kind of crisp candy she had never seen before, called shrimp crisps. “Comrade, I want two taels of this shrimp crisp.”
There were not many candy tickets left, so Song Shuqian decided to buy only the ones she liked the most.
After getting the prawn crisps, she couldn’t wait to try one. It was crispy and not too sweet, which was what she liked.
She peeled another one for Wei Jianguo, “This is delicious, you try it.”
“If you like it, we’ll take more when we go back.
” Song Shuqian shrugged, “We don’t have enough sugar coupons.”
“It’s okay, leave it to me.”
Wei Jianguo planned to go to the black market before leaving to get everything he needed.
Song Shuqian also knew what he was thinking, “Then let’s buy more. We have a family of four. Anyway, it won’t go bad, so we can keep it and eat it slowly.”
Wei Jianguo thought so too.
After that, the two went to the daily necessities counter. Song Shuqian bought Pechoin Snow Cream, Palace Lantern Almond Honey, Queen’s Pien Tze Huang Pearl Cream and Yongfang Pearl Cream, planning to go back and try to find the one that suits her best.
Currently, if you like to buy things, just buy it, and if you don’t want to buy it, forget it, there is no trial.
To put it bluntly, it is a seller’s market.
The things in Sijiucheng are much more complete than those in Huludao.
She also bought shampoo, a big blue jar.
After that, the two of them came to the fabric counter, but they were not very lucky and did not encounter any defective fabrics. Their fabric coupons were almost used up, so they did not buy anything.
At the ready-made wardrobe counter, Song Shuqian was attracted by a cashmere coat with a camel-colored H-shaped waist design, which made her look very elegant when she put it on.
Wei Jianguo understood his wife’s thoughts immediately and said, “Comrade, please give me a size that suits my wife.”
The salesperson looked at the clothes of the two people and confirmed that they could afford it before taking it down. While taking it, he said, “This is from Shanghai. There are only two pieces, one large size and one small size, 121 yuan each.”
Song Shuqian took off her coat and put on the cashmere coat. Her whole temperament was different.
Wei Jianguo hurriedly said, “Please pack it up. Do you have other colors for this coat?”
The salesperson quickly wrote a list and said, “There is black.”
Wei Jianguo found that his wife did not like black very much, so he did not want it.
The two continued to shop and saw a pair of leather shoes at the leather shoe counter. It happened to be Wei Jianguo’s size, so he bought it.
What surprised Song Shuqian the most about the department store was that it was very tolerant of cultural learning.
There were many books, and they were quite complete. Even the pigments that Song Shuqian used for painting were quite complete here.
She chose quite a few pigments.
After the two of them had been shopping for a while, they felt a little tired and listless. They continued to walk with one breath,
and then they found that there were air guns for sale here.
Although she didn’t know much about air guns, she knew that they were dangerous things. They can be used for hunting, and it is very painful to hit people.
Although Song Shuqian was curious, she didn’t buy it because she felt it was unnecessary. Wei Jianguo was simply not interested, and he had the real thing.
Thinking of her future children, Song Shuqian also bought some toys, tin frogs and tin trains. Referring to the shape of the rag dolls here, she decided to go back and make them herself.
After shopping, the two saw musical instruments again, which surprised Song Shuqian. She thought there would be no music here in the future. Unexpectedly, she met someone selling musical instruments here. Guitars, erhu, flutes, harmonicas, accordions, quite complete.
After confirming with the salesperson that it was okay to try it out, she picked up the accordion and tried two of them. She could find the scales but couldn’t play any songs.
The two of them experienced the feeling of shopping today, shopping a lot but buying little.
No matter how many votes you have, they can’t withstand Song Shuqian’s use of them. Now there are not many, so you can only enjoy the sight.
