Chapter XXVIII
Through the crowding of people, Shen Weiguo quietly took Wen Juan's hand and escorted Wen Juan into the first floor of the department store, where there are all kinds of good things for the New Year that can be supplied at present, whether it is candy or biscuits, or some rare supplies, most of them can be found here, and many people have saved money tickets for a year, and they are ready to be ruthless at this time.
They don't have to prepare any New Year's goods, the purpose is different from that of ordinary people who enter the city, and after thinking about what they want to do in their hearts, Shen Weiguo first escorted Wen Juan to the second floor. The second floor is a little less crowded and noisy than the first floor, but it's not much better. At this time, it is a fashionable pursuit for a family to dress up and visit a department store. On the second floor, there are more expensive large counters such as ready-to-wear fabrics and watches and tape recorders.
Went up to the second floor and glanced around. With excellent eyesight and keen awareness, Shen Weiguo knew the layout of the second floor by heart. He first took Wen Juan directly to the watch counter where most of the people watched without looking closely. Xinsu County is just a remote county seat, and there are more than a dozen watches neatly placed in the counter that make onlookers look up and envy, round and square, and the workmanship is quite exquisite.
One in front and one behind, the two walked hand in hand and walked through the crowd of onlookers until the counter, Shen Weiguo hooked the corners of his lips slightly and said: "Wen Juan, look at which one you like, I want to buy you a watch to see the time!" ”
"What do you think of this?" He took out the watch ticket from his pocket and looked at the salesman to prove that they were not troublemakers, and pointed to the most exquisite all-steel mechanical watch among them and inquired.
Before, a comrade-in-arms forgot to change clothes, went to the counter to buy something and was ridiculed by the arrogant salesman to share, the kind reminder is still echoing in his ears, he himself has nothing, but he will not let the future daughter-in-law accompany him to be ridiculed, do everything in front, it is more convenient to avoid it in advance than to confront it afterwards.
"It's a little big!" Understanding Shen Weiguo's mind and the rules of the village, Wen Juan understood that this should be part of the dowry, acknowledging this marriage and recognizing this man. Wen Juan also saw the ticket in Shen Weiguo's hand, and knew that a watch was not too heavy for Shen Weiguo, but there was no pretentious refusal, she looked at it calmly, she shook her head gently, she is not the kind of personality that pursues expensive prices, everything is the most expensive, and it is good for things to fit. The watch is also a name, and it is convenient to see the time, almost good.
The watches on the counter are estimated to be arranged according to the specifications and prices, Wen Juan looked at the next few slightly small women's watches, the watches are too big, and they are not too practical for use. Shen Weiguo quickly sensed Wen Juan's intentions and understood Wen Juan's thoughts, but he didn't want the things he gave Wen Juan to be too bad for the first time, and it was not bad for the difference of dozens of yuan at this time.
Shen Weiguo also meant at this time, there is a difference between a girl's vision and a man's vision, he looked as much as possible to the delicate side, in the middle of the counter, he saw a delicate square lady's watch, the delicate plum blossom mark in the dial, and suddenly remembered that the comrade-in-arms said that the girl's favorite thing now is the Shanghai watch, which is based on the plum watch, and the quality of the plum watch is also very good.
I couldn't help but point to the delicate lady's plum watch and said to the salesperson: "Comrade, can you please try this watch for me?" ”
"Yes, just be careful!" The salesperson is a young lady about thirty years old and mild-mannered, she has already seen the ticket in Shen Weiguo's hand, coupled with Shen Weiguo's military uniform and civilian clothes, in this era, it can be said that it is like a pass, it is not an embarrassing character, she is naturally willing to serve with her heart, and she looks good when she sells a watch.
She took out the watch from the counter and handed it to Shen Weiguo, smiled at the two and praised them: "The two of you are a good match, a match made in heaven, this is a good day is coming, big sister, you are so blessed!" The eldest brother picked the most exquisite women's watch on our side at a glance, this is the latest style that has just been taken from the sea market, and it is definitely especially suitable for a well-mannered girl like you! ”
"Thank you for your auspicious words!" Wen Juan smiled implicitly, and at Shen Weiguo's suggestion, she reached out and handed over her wrist, so that Shen Weiguo could carefully and properly carry the women's watch on her wrist. Wen Juan's wrist is slender and tactful, with a delicate and small square women's quartz watch, which is even more exquisite, and the wristbands or something are also extraordinarily appropriate, and the white and smooth wrist and the ink-colored gold-edged quartz women's watch complement each other, which is no better.
"Big brother has a good eye, this watch is matched with the wrist of the big sister, it's really amazing... It's a perfect fit! What is this called, this table is specially made for you, big girl! The eldest sister of the salesperson is also full of amazement, few people can simply bring out such an excellent stunning vision of the watch, everyone has a good mood during the New Year, she can't help but praise sweetly.
Shen Weiguo looked at it, amazed in his heart, satisfied and happy in his heart, and gently asked: "Wenjuan, what do you think of this women's watch?" ”
"Very good!" Wen Juan looked left and right, smiled and nodded in agreement. The size of the workmanship is very delicate and appropriate, and the plum watch is also very famous in later generations, and the quality is very good, but I don't know how the price is?
Wen Juan's satisfaction and liking couldn't help but make Shen Weiguo's heart even more happy, and he looked at the eldest sister of the salesman and asked, "What is the price of this watch?" ”
"Big brother and big sister, big sister is also a real person, you have also seen this watch, the latest style and quality, there are not a few pieces in the whole county. The big brother has to add 160 yuan and five industrial coupons in addition to the watch ticket, no problem, I will issue a ticket to you, the big sister can take it away directly, the watch watch, forever, is also a symbol of your beautiful marriage, I wish the big brother and the big sister a hundred years of good together! "On a cold day, on this shift, being able to sell a watch is also a display of her ability, and the eldest sister said happily. Without this ability to speak well, you can't be arranged to the watch counter, after all, most of the people who can afford to buy watches are okay, and most people don't dare to arrange here.
"Okay, that's it, comrade, you open the ticket!" Shen Weiguo nodded in confirmation.
"Great!" The eldest sister of the sales lady buried her head in the pen and sprinkled it on the receipt with the splint, and quickly filled out the form, and hung it on the steel wire in front of her, as if performing acrobatics, the splint quickly moved along the steel wire, which made Wen Juan look at it in surprise, this technology, it is estimated that it can only be seen at this time, and it is the first time she has really seen it.
"Big brother, you go to the front to pay the bill, and the big sister stays with me!" The sales lady pointed in the direction of the plywood.
"Good!" Asking Wen Juan to wait in front of the counter for a while, Shen Weiguo quickly walked through the crowd of onlookers and envy, and after paying the bill at the cashier's side, he returned with the splint signing and stamping bills that came back in an uproar. The eldest sister stabbed and neatly tore off the sub-ticket, and handed it to the two of them with the watch box: "You can take this purchase ticket, if the watch has an unexpected failure when you are in use, you can use this ticket to come to me for maintenance!" ”
"Okay, thank you, big sister, and I wish you a happy new year!" Shen Weiguo put away the bills, stopped Wen Juan from taking off her watch, and asked her to take it with her, after Wen Juan thanked the sales lady, the two walked through the crowd of onlookers along the line and headed towards the next target.
Xinsu County is relatively remote, there is no too suitable women's bicycle here, Shen Weiguo learned about this situation, he has asked his comrades in the city to help book a women's phoenix bicycle to transfer over, it is estimated that it will take two days, and the first day of the new year can be obtained, just in time for the second year of junior high school to be hired and sent to Yang's house, just not to delay the use, but also to Wen Juan face. Therefore, Shen Weiguo led the way, and the next goal was to buy two clothes for Wen Juan.
However, it is obvious that Wen Juan is not too appreciative of the style of clothes in this era. Moreover, the price of ready-to-wear at this time is obviously not low, and tailoring has always been a popular profession. After taking a general look at the ready-to-wear area and understanding the current fashion trend and the general situation of the current style, Wen Juan shook her head lightly and said: "Let's go to the fabric area to have a look, basic clothes can be made by everyone at home, there is no need to waste them here!" ”
In her previous life, when she was working and studying, she used to work in a garment factory, not to mention how good her skills are, but she is no stranger to basic boarding, drawing and cutting. And Aunt Shuhai's family has a sewing machine, which is a good tailor in the village, and A-Niang's car thread craftsmanship is also well-known in the village.
Under the condition that the basic conditions can be met, Wen Juan doesn't mind making some changes to make herself more comfortable. She is not such a pedantic person, and the goal she will strive for in the future is just to make her and her family's life better and more comfortable.
