Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Compared with the ones in the county town, the department stores in Jiang City are much more impressive!

The five-story building can be compared with the shopping malls of later generations.

The variety of products inside is very complete. There is a long counter selling cloths, with various materials and colors all arranged neatly.

Song Xiuxiu's eyes were dazzled. She quietly pinched her handbag, which contained the cloth and cotton coupons that Lu Aiguo had given her two days ago.

Before coming here, Song Xiuxiu thought that the tickets were completely enough, but when she got here she found that they were not enough at all.

Because there are so many colors and they are so beautiful, Song Xiuxiu wants every one!

Lu Aiguo found that his wife had not looked anywhere else since she entered the door. She had been staring at the cloths intently.

"Don't worry and buy it. If the coupons are not enough, I will think of another way!" The man whispered in her ear.

Song Xiuxiu turned to look at him in disbelief and asked, "You still have a way to get the cloth tickets!"

Lu Aiguo smiled and said nothing, but gave her an affirmative look.

Seeing that the man really had a way, Song Xiuxiu was no longer polite.

There are indeed many places in the house that need cloth. In addition to the family's cotton-padded clothes, there are also bed sheets, quilt covers, curtains, etc.!

Song Xiuxiu thought about it in her mind while buying it.

Zhao Xuewen’s quilt and Song Xiuxiu’s were bought in a common blue color, while Yaya’s was a pink one with flowers.

Song Xiuxiu originally planned to buy a plainer quilt for herself and Lu Aiguo, but Lu Aiguo insisted on buying a bright red one with dragons and phoenixes.

Song Xiuxiu: "We are not getting married, why are we so festive?"

Lu Aiguo: "I just like festive things. You can do whatever else you want, but our quilt must be bright red!"

In the end, Song Xiuxiu couldn't defeat him, so she had to compromise, but instead of buying the auspicious dragon and phoenix, she chose the harvest pattern.

Although Lu Aiguo didn't get what he wanted, it was bright red anyway, so he didn't say anything more.

While Song Xiuxiu was selecting cloth in front of the counter, Lu Aiguo whispered something to the salesperson beside him. Not long after, the salesperson left the counter and came over with a middle-aged woman.

"When I heard that the surname was Lu, I guessed that it was you!" The woman's voice had already reached her before she even got closer.

Lu Aiguo greeted him respectfully and said, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Afterwards, Song Xiuxiu was introduced to the other party.

It turns out that this middle-aged woman's surname is Xu, and she is known as Sister Xu.

He was from the same family compound as them, and his husband was Chief of Staff Zeng.

Because Sister Xu is from Jiang City and is the director of a department store, she only returns to the compound when she is on vacation, and usually lives at her natal home in the city.

Sister Xu heard that they bought a lot of things and might not have enough cloth tickets, so she smiled and said: "It's okay, you choose first, and we'll talk about it in the final settlement!"

Song Xiuxiu asked Lu Aiguo worriedly: "Will this embarrass Sister Xu?"

Lu Aiguo held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, their internal employees have some quotas every month where they can buy things without tickets. This is also an employee benefit!"

After listening to the man's words, Song Xiuxiu continued to select cloth with peace of mind.

At the final checkout, it was as expected by Song Xiuxiu. There were indeed not enough cloth tickets, but Sister Xu told the salesperson to take her internal quota.

In this way, Song Xiuxiu only used half of the cloth tickets, but bought all the pieces of cloth she liked. Of course, there was definitely no discount on the price. Even so, Song Xiuxiu was very happy.

After buying the cloth, Song Xiuxiu started buying cotton again.

Because the winter here is relatively cold, Sister Xu suggested that both quilts and cotton-padded clothes should be thicker.

A normal single quilt weighs three or four pounds, but Song Xiuxiu prepared it directly at six pounds.

As for the double quilt for her and Lu Aiguo, Song Xiuxiu planned to use ten pounds of cotton.

Including the family's cotton clothes, Song Xiuxiu bought a total of sixty kilograms of cotton.

She wanted to prepare more, because Song Xiuxiu didn't know exactly how cold the winter here was.

After buying these, Song Xiuxiu started to buy the things she wanted to use. Skin care products in this era were very scarce, so Song Xiuxiu bought some more cream and clam oil.

He and his children have to use it every day, and even Lu Aiguo's rough face urges him to apply some on it every day.

Then Song Xiuxiu bought a bunch of things she lacked at home and what she could think of.

Lu Aiguo was only responsible for moving things into the jeep at the door. He never asked how much it cost from beginning to end.

When Song Xiuxiu felt that she had almost bought everything, Lu Aiguo took her hand and walked upstairs.

The two forgotten children followed them very sensibly, fearing that they would be abducted by the bad guys!

There was a large counter on the third floor dedicated to selling watches, and Lu Aiguo walked straight over with Song Xiuxiu.

When he arrived at the counter, Lu Aiguo took out a bill from his pants pocket and handed it to the salesperson.

"Has what I ordered arrived?"

After the salesperson took one look at the receipt, he immediately said with a smile: "Here it is, it just arrived yesterday!"

With that said, he took out a delicate box from under the counter and handed it to Lu Aiguo.

After the man took it, he handed the box to Song Xiuxiu, and then opened the box gently.

I saw a finely crafted ladies' watch lying quietly in the box.

"Do you like it?" the man asked softly.

Song Xiuxiu had uncontrollable joy on her face and said softly: "I like it, of course I like it!"

Lu Aiguo was very happy when he saw that the gift he chose was in line with his wife's wishes!

"Let me put it on for you!"

With that said, the man took out the watch and carefully put it on her wrist.

Because the watch strap is made of leather, Song Xiuxiu feels very comfortable after wearing it!

"When did you buy it?" Song Xiuxiu asked softly.

Lu Aiguo looked at Song Xiuxiu with doting eyes and said, "I came here to buy it when I came back from visiting relatives, but they didn't have it in stock, so I had to wait until now."

"But fortunately I didn't keep you waiting too long!"

Song Xiuxiu listened to the man's words, but her eyes were looking back and forth at the watch on her wrist, and then couldn't help but ask: "This watch must be very expensive!"

Lu Aiguo thought for a while and said, "It's not very expensive, it's just my monthly salary!"

After hearing the price, Song Xiuxiu raised her head in surprise and said, "You are so willing!"

Lu Aiguo smiled and said, "Do you like it?"

Song Xiuxiu: "It's so expensive, of course I like it!"

Lu Aiguo: "As long as you like it, it's worth it no matter how expensive it is!"

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu glanced at him shyly!

After all the shopping was done, Lu Aiguo went to the pastry counter and bought two packages of snacks and a package of chicken cakes for Song Xiuxiu and the two children.

After getting on the bus, Song Xiuxiu saw that the carriage behind was filled up, and the two children barely squeezed out a little space and sat there.

"Am I too bad at living?" Song Xiuxiu asked, looking at the man beside her.

Lu Aiguo said while driving: "Are you happy today!"

Song Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Of course I'm happy!"

Lu Aiguo smiled and said, "As long as you are happy, I need a happy wife. It doesn't matter whether she can live a happy life or not!"
