The Happy Life of Xu Damao in Siheyuan
Chapter 18
At this time, there was a bustling crowd, and the surrounding streets were crowded with cars and their leather shoes made a crisp sound. These people were brightly dressed. Compared with them, Qin Jingru felt more and more like a country bumpkin.
"Don't worry, when you come out, I'm sure you'll be prettier than them." Xu Damao saw Qin Jingru's nervousness and comforted him in a calm voice.
Qin Jingru was looking forward to it and nervous at the same time, following Xu Damao's footsteps for fear of getting lost.
It looked like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. She was dazzled by the sight. She secretly glanced at Xu Damao and found that he was calm and composed, and couldn't help but admire him secretly.
In fact, strictly speaking, it was Xu Damao's first time here. He thought that the department stores in 1965 would be full of barren products. Who could have imagined that, but reality slapped him hard in the face.
The department store has everything you need, and in terms of scale and bustle, it is no less than the supermarkets of later generations.
Clothing and leather shoes, perfume and jewelry, toys and musical instruments, pork, fish and shrimp, etc. are all on display. There are even drums and pianos on display. Many well-dressed parents take their children to choose from, and the sweet music echoes, adding an extra touch of elegance.
"There are also gun sellers."
Xu Damao took a look at the firearms section. Of course, only air guns are sold here. However, if the bullets are replaced by lead bullets, they can be used for hunting and are quite powerful.
"Just tell me which one you like." Xu Damao waved his hand proudly.
Qin Jingru was dazzled at once. It was a department store in the city. The clothes they sold were all so good-looking. After waiting for a long time, Qin Jingru had difficulty choosing.
Xu Damao didn't have time to go shopping with Qin Jingru all the time, so he asked the salesperson directly: "What are the most popular clothes here?"
"Of course it's 'Chenliang' and 'Braj'!" the salesperson replied without thinking, "but 'Chenliang' has been sold out, and now there is only the last medium-sized women's 'Braj' left."
"Okay, let her try it on."
Qin Jingru had never heard of this brand-new trend term, so she could only become nervous as if she had turned into a puppet on strings, and entered the fitting room dully.
This Bragi is transliterated based on the trend of Big Brother country. Bragi in Russian means dress. In the era of universal work clothes and black and white Chinese tunic suits, this beautiful color has been a staple in the city since the 1950s.
The most magnificent scenery.
It's a pity that the 1960s were Bragi's last glory.
And indeed good is the English translation of polyester. In later generations, polyester clothes were on the streets, while pure cotton products were the only ones. Now the status of the two is completely reversed.
In this era of "three years for the new, three years for the old, and three more years for sewing and mending", the quality of Deliang's chemical fiber products, which are comfortable to wear, easy to wash and quick-dry, and stronger than cotton, has quickly become the darling of the clothing field. Of course, the most important thing is
The best thing is that you don’t need to spend cloth tickets or industrial coupons to purchase this thing!
In this era, there was no technology to purify chemical fiber from petroleum, so it could only be made from imported chemical fiber. The output was very small. Every time it was unveiled, even if the price was high, it was quickly sold out.
After a while, a brand new Qin Jingru came out with a red face and lowered head. She was not used to walking with her calves exposed. She walked unnaturally high and low, her face was burning, and she always felt that everyone was looking at her.
Focus on her.
"Very good, come and take a look in the mirror."
"Oh my God!"
Qin Jingru looked at herself in the mirror and instantly felt like she almost didn't recognize herself.
Bragi's loose sleeves, pleated skirt, simple round neck, and a cloth belt around her waist instantly transformed her from an ugly duckling into a white swan. She had never worn such good clothes in her life.
"How much?" Xu Damao asked.
"One hundred and eight, plus five industrial coupons or five cloth coupons." The salesperson said calmly.
Qin Jingru's eyes widened and she looked at the salesperson in disbelief.
"So expensive?"
At this price, you can buy a sewing machine!
What kind of clothes can't be made out of a few feet of cloth?
The salesperson didn't even raise an eyelid, and just said calmly: "You don't have to buy it."
If you don’t buy it, don’t buy it!
Qin Jingru wanted to reply, but what she wanted to say was stuck in her throat and she couldn't shout it out, because she liked this dress so much. It was beautiful and high-end, and if word spread, she would be more respectable than girls in the city.
"Okay, please give me a box to put your old clothes in." Xu Damao happily took out the money, and as soon as the eleven cards were united, Qin Jingru was dazzled, feeling that Xu Damao was the most beautiful boy in the world.
As the saying goes, a man is most handsome when he is happily paying the bill.
When Qin Jingru followed Xu Damao out of the department store, she felt dizzy and had an unreal feeling. She looked at the mirror in the mall every once in a while to confirm that every time she saw this dreamy bra
When Ji wears it on himself, his heart is filled with boundless happiness.
Along the way, many girls cast envious glances, and that feeling of elation struck Qin Jingru's heart with unprecedented intensity.
This day was like rising into the clouds.
Quanjude, fragrant crispy roast duck is served.
Qin Jingru had just learned how to eat it. She quickly and diligently rolled up the duck meat, brought shredded onion, cucumber and sauce, and brought it to Xu Damao's mouth. She was well-behaved and obedient.
"Jingru, you should eat it too. This roast duck will lose its flavor when it's cold." Xu Damao said with a gentlemanly smile.
Qin Jingru nodded and obeyed Xu Damao's words. She experienced the feeling of being a city dweller for a time, and the delicious roast duck instantly captured her heart.
With Braji's base of 108 yuan, it seems that Quanjude, who has a meal of more than ten yuan, takes it for granted. Qin Jingru did not notice at all that her mentality had changed a lot.
And Xu Damao is also happy to see the results, allowing her to gradually experience the happiness of rich people.
"By the way, Jingru, let me ask you a few questions."
"Well, Brother Xu, tell me, I promise to give you a straight answer." Qin Jingru's title also changed to the close brother Xu.
"What did Silly Zhu go to your sister's house for today?" Xu Damao roughly guessed some clues, but still needed additional information.
Qin Jingru had no idea and vomited out everything she knew.
"I blame my sister! I told her that I came to the city just to see you, but my sister insisted that I do her a favor and go on a blind date with Shazhu. Brother Xu, don't worry, I don't look down on you.
He is stupid and doesn't sound smart!"
"My sister said that all I need to do is repay her favor and meet Silly Zhu. Then I can come out to find you. But I also promised my sister that if she goes out to eat roast duck, she will pack the leftovers and take them back to the children.
Let’s try it too.”
Qin Jingru knew nothing about her sister's plan, but Xu Damao already knew everything she wanted to know.
Qin Huairu, you are really good at scheming.
Still want to kill two birds with one stone?
First, in the name of a blind date, Qin Jingru and Shazhu were allowed to meet, and Shazhu was asked to contribute money and effort. Then he asked her to leave midway and asked her to come out to meet him, thinking about this Quanjude meal.
Zhuang Xian takes it all and gets two benefits. And even if He Yuzhu finds out the truth, he will definitely put the blame on himself. Who makes the two of them always bitter enemies?
At that time, He Yuzhu would only think that he was deliberately trying to pry into the corner, and Qin Huairu disturbed Huang Shazhu's blind date again, and he could easily stay out of it.
In front of Silly Zhu, he not only appeared to be enthusiastic in helping, but he was also able to cause trouble in a reasonable manner.
In Qin Huairu's eyes, he had long regarded Silly Pillar as his own private property and the successor to the entire burdensome family. Even if he could not get any benefits from him, he would still keep Qin Jingru away in order to avoid Qin Jingru's true love.
If she really gets along with Silly Zhu, then she will never be able to survive.
She is a widow with three children and a mother-in-law. How can she be compared with a yellow flower girl?
"You really took advantage of all the benefits..."
Xu Damao sneered in his heart, his impression of Qin Huairu had dropped to freezing point.
This whole family is not a good thing.
