Chapter 152 Buying Wedding Supplies
Feng Qingqing chuckled and looked at He Yong'an with a smile, while He Yong'an looked utterly embarrassed.
"It's getting late, let's go eat."
The two then hurried to the nearest state-run restaurant, which was almost empty by then.
The two had no choice but to order two servings of vegetable noodles and a steamed bun each, and then they started slurping them down.
After a while, I finally satisfied my hunger.
After leaving the restaurant, the two discussed it and decided to go to the department store in the county.
The couple will be getting married in a month, and they went to the department store to see if there were any suitable wedding supplies, so they could buy them in advance if they found anything suitable.
Avoid rushing and having too few items.
The county department store has two floors. The first floor sells various food products, daily necessities and other everyday items.
The second floor mainly sells high-end goods such as clothing, bicycles, radios, and various types of furniture.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Qingqing decided to go to the fabric counter on the first floor to see if there were any suitable fabrics for her wedding.
For her once-in-a-lifetime wedding, Feng Qingqing wanted to dress up in a glamorous and beautiful way.
She went to the counter first and looked around. The most common colors were black, gray, and blue.
They asked the sales clerk at the counter if they had any red fabric. The clerk, a middle-aged woman, was quite friendly. Hearing her question and glancing at He Yong'an beside her, she guessed that the two were getting it for their wedding, and then spoke softly:
"Young lady, you've come at the perfect time! We just received a batch of red fabric today, bright red, very festive, perfect for a wedding."
Feng Qingqing was overjoyed and quickly took out a piece of Sachima from her pocket, which was actually a spatial storage, and quietly handed it to the older woman.
Seeing how cooperative the girl was, the older sister's smile deepened.
Although they were sales clerks at the department store, they couldn't just buy candy from the counter whenever they wanted, and they didn't have the tickets to buy it anyway.
These days, every household is short of all kinds of coupons, but this piece of Sachima is quite substantial. I can use it to sweeten the mouths of my youngest son when I get back. Just thinking about it makes me even more enthusiastic.
"Come, come, young lady, come and pick out how many feet you need. This red is perfect, and it's made of polyester."
Although Feng Qingqing did not have a particular fondness for Dacron, in this era, most people were proud to wear Dacron.
Therefore, he showed his liking by nodding repeatedly.
"Thank you, ma'am. It is indeed for our wedding. The color is also very suitable. It's lucky that we met you today."
The older woman had an expression that said it was indeed true.
In the end, Feng Qingqing bought 6 feet of cloth, enough to make a shirt.
Feng Qingqing has no intention of wearing red pants; just thinking about the scene is a bit too much for her eyes.
After buying it for himself, he turned to look at He Yong'an and bought him 13 feet of navy blue cloth, planning to go back and find someone to make him a set of clothes.
Red is out of the question; it's not practical.
Navy blue clothes are suitable for weddings or everyday wear; these days, it's not fashionable to wear something only once.
Feng Qingqing looked at the counter again and finally bought another five jin of yarn.
The weather is getting cold, and she plans to knit a sweater for herself and He Yong'an each. There's only black available, so she has no other choice.
As for woolen trousers, she'll have to wait until she has time to figure out a solution, but woolen yarn is hard to find in the commune.
Then Feng Qingqing went to the food counter and bought some chicken cakes, peach shortbread, and other foods that she always buys, which she can use to fill her stomach when she gets hungry.
Then she saw that there were fur-lined leather gloves for sale at the counter next to her. They looked so warm that Feng Qingqing couldn't resist and bought two more pairs.
After buying their things, the two went up to the second floor.
The second floor sells large items. Although Feng Qingqing doesn't have any tickets at the moment, she can consider exchanging them on the black market if she really wants them.
The two first went to the bicycle counter. According to He Yong'an, they should buy some big items after getting married, such as bicycles.
But she felt that if she needed it, she could buy it; if she didn't need it, wouldn't it be a waste to buy it?
I'm not considering bicycles for now.
Next, we arrived at the watch counter.
The counter currently displays Shanghai brand watches, one for men and one for women, priced at 180 yuan each.
Feng Qingqing already owns a watch and has no intention of buying another one.
But she planned to buy one for He Yong'an, since he would be going to work soon and it would be very inconvenient for him to go to work without a watch.
But I don't have any tickets right now!
It seems we need to go back and discuss where to exchange for a watch ticket.
As for radios and similar items, Feng Qingqing hadn't even considered them; she simply didn't like listening to them.
The two looked around and found that there was nothing else they needed to buy at this stage.
The two of them came downstairs carrying their things.
After leaving the department store, it was nearly 2 p.m.
It was getting late, so the two headed straight to the bus station.
After waiting for about five minutes, I got on the bus and was standing on the commune road in less than an hour.
There were no oxcarts to take them back to the brigade, so the two of them carried their things and talked as they walked back.
Back at the Lanshan Brigade, it was still dark.
Some members saw the two returning carrying things, and some jokingly asked:
"What, did you go to buy wedding supplies?"
You know what, that hit the nail on the head!
He Yong'an was all smiles and didn't hide anything, loudly telling them to come to the wedding banquet at the end of next month.
Feng Qingqing rolled her eyes at his ostentatious behavior and went straight back to the clinic.
After returning home, Feng Qingqing sat in her chair and couldn't get up. It had been a really tough day.
But then he thought of what he had found at the scrap yard, and he was instantly revitalized.
It was getting late, so Feng Qingqing and He Yong'an started preparing dinner.
The two were talking when Hu Fangming knocked on the door and came in.
Hu Fangming knew that the two of them had gone to the county town today, so he didn't come over at noon.
After coming over that evening, her little mouth never stopped, eagerly telling Feng Qingqing everything that had happened in the brigade that day.
"Qingqing, you don't know that Jiang Yun's parents are back. I heard they've caused quite a stir in the brigade office."
He said his daughter suffered this misfortune while protecting the members of the brigade, and is currently lying in bed with her life hanging in the balance.
He's a living dead.
The brigade must give an explanation, or they will not stand for it.
Moreover, I heard that Jiang Yun's parents don't want to take her in.
Feng Qingqing pondered, and indeed, Jiang Yun was now lying there silently every day, needing someone to take care of him at all times.
And it's unclear how long this care will last.
He was clearly a burden, so it was no surprise that Jiang's parents didn't want to take him back.
But when it comes to Jiang Yun's matter, it is indeed related to saving people. Whether it was voluntary or involuntary, the intention to save people was genuine!
So many people are watching.
It would be unreasonable if the brigade didn't give an explanation.
The brigade cadres are probably going to be annoyed.
"So how did the brigade handle it in the end?"
Feng Qingqing took the initiative to ask.
