Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

After dinner, I went shopping and felt full of energy.

Lu Jiang took Feng Qingxue to the department store, stopped in front of the fabric counter, and took out a large stack of fabric tickets.

"Comrade, let's buy cloth. Show us some more."

Seeing that both of them were wrapped in military coats, Lu Jiang was wearing a military uniform under his open coat, and the epaulettes were particularly obvious. The salesperson who was knitting a sweater at the counter immediately stood up and greeted them warmly.

"What kind of cloth do you want to see, comrade? The goods we just bought here are all top quality."

"Qingxue, what color cloth do you like to wear?" Lu Jiang turned to Feng Qingxue and asked, "You can just pick the cloth you like. Let's buy the cloth first, and then buy the clothes, shoes and socks."

"I have no shortage of clothes to wear, so I don't have to waste money."

In fact, the clothes made by Aunt Xu and brought back from the Feng family are enough to change.

Lu Jiang said: "How can it be wasted? You can choose what you should buy. The tickets in my hand are completely enough."

Feng Qingxue hesitated for a moment and took a closer look at the fabrics on the counter. They were more abundant and better than those in county department stores. There were cotton, khaki, denim, corduroy and other types. The colors were basically black, blue and gray. There are three kinds, the brighter one is military green, and there is also a piece of black, red and gray plaid wool. Other than that, there are no brightly colored fabrics.

The saleswoman in her thirties was very discerning and hurriedly said to Feng Qingxue: "What color do you like, gay? I'll get you whichever one you want. Look at this plaid, it looks the best on a coat." , and this piece of army green khaki.”

"We want this tartan." Lu Jiang decided on the only piece of wool before Feng Qingxue could say anything.

The salesperson smiled broadly and said, "Okay, comrade."

After careful consideration, Feng Qingxue finally chose blue labor cloth and military green khaki, each of which was large enough to make a piece of clothing. "These are enough."

"Are these enough? I told you, you don't have to be polite to me."

After Lu Jiang finished speaking, he pointed at two kinds of blue and black labor cloth, two kinds of black and blue corduroy, three kinds of blue, green and black khaki cloth and other cloths and said to the salesperson: "Each of them needs twenty feet, and then pull two pieces of two pieces." Ten feet of muslin should be blue with small floral prints and white.”

Feng Qingxue hurriedly said: "Brother Lu, there is no need to buy so much cloth."

"I finally came here and bought what I wanted. Anyway, the army manages food and housing and distributes clothes according to seasons. The cloth coupons collected by these comrades are expired and will not be used in my hands anymore." Lu Jiang said at the beginning. I plan to buy more cloth and clothes for her.

I remember when my brother hired his sister-in-law, there were eighty pieces of silk and satin cloth alone and dozens of sets of clothes for all seasons.

How much can you do now?

Insignificant compared to that.

Feng Qingxue couldn't resist him and could only watch Lu Jiang hand over the money and tickets.

Cotton cloth costs 6 cents per foot, khaki costs 8 cents, denim and corduroy cost one dollar per foot, and plaid wool is the most expensive at ten dollars per foot. This piece of woolen fabric is eight feet six inches long, so it costs eight cents. Sixteen dollars.

Buying cloth not only costs money, but also requires tickets.

The salesperson opened the ticket and put the money clip on a wire above his head, and with a whoosh, he was pulled away.

After a while, the wire was pulled back, and there was only the change and receipt on the clip.

The salesperson handed it to Lu Jiang, then quickly cut out the designated fabric, folded it, and said enthusiastically: "Comrade, I also have wool here, both wool and blended wool. Do you want it? You just came in too." The knitted sweater makes you feel warm when you wear it.”
