The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 295, Shopping

Early the next morning, it snowed heavily in the Imperial Capital.

Goose-feather-like snowflakes fell flyingly, and in just a few hours, the entire imperial capital was covered with a thick layer of snow-white.

The sudden drop in temperature caused Li Weiguo to wake up early, but now that he was on holiday, it was rare for him to have some leisure time, and he didn't want to be so early.

So he got up and put on a coat to add fuel to the stove. After that, Li Weiguo quickly got back into the warm bed and fell asleep happily.

But it was a pity that before he could lie down for ten minutes, he heard a "dong dong dong" knock on the door while he was half asleep and half awake.

"Brother Wei Guo, have you gotten up?" The sound of rain came from outside the door.

Li Weiguomi stared at his sleepy eyes, raised his head and glanced at the clock. It was just half past six, and he couldn't help but wailed.

"Hey, here you go, just wait a moment."

After rubbing his face, Li Weiguo struggled to lift the warm quilt, climbed out of bed, and went straight to open the door.

The door opened, and Yu Yu, the girl, had already tidied herself up, put on her small satchel, and was ready to go.

Li Weiguo scratched his disheveled hair and said helplessly: "Yu Yu, it's too early for you, it's only half past six."

Yesterday, he made an appointment with Yuyu to go shopping in the department store this morning, but he didn't expect this little girl to be so active. She got up at just past six o'clock on such a cold day.

Yuyu frowned at him and said coquettishly: "Hmph~ You lazy boy, it's getting late. I've already prepared breakfast."

"Is breakfast ready?"

"That's it, look what I brought you?"

As he said this, Yu Yu took out two steamed buns with noodles from his bag with a smile, and shook them at Li Weiguo, with an expression as if you were going to praise me.

Li Weiguo felt warm in his heart, rubbed her little head affectionately, and said with a smile: "Thank you, it's raining. It's cold outside. Come inside and sit for a while while I wash up."

It was hard for this little girl to get up so early and make breakfast on such a cold day just to give him two steamed buns.

"Mmmmm~"

After greeting the rain, Li Weiguo picked up the enamel tub, filled it with water at the sink next to the door, and started washing.

Yu Yu didn't sit idle after entering the house. He found an empty bowl and put down the steamed buns he had brought for Li Weiguo. He went straight to Li Weiguo's bed and tidied up his messy bed.

While tidying up, he asked: "By the way, Brother Wei Guo, what time does the department store open?"

Li Weiguo spit out the foam in his mouth and replied: "Normally it's nine o'clock, but it's eight o'clock on weekends. Now that the end of the year is coming and people are in great demand, it might be ten minutes earlier."

Yuyu nodded: "Oh. Then we can go there after breakfast. There are too many people in the department store at the end of the year. If you go late, you will be crowded to death. If we go early and go back early, we will suffer less." "

"Well, okay, we'll leave after breakfast soon."

It took a few minutes to wash up, put on warm winter clothes, put on a military coat, and smoothed my hair in the mirror.

Everything was packed up, and Li Weiguo didn't do anything. After breakfast, he put on his bicycle and went out with the rain.

After leaving the yard, Li Weiguo lifted his leg, put on his bicycle, and waved to Yu Yu: "Come on, get in the car."

"Okay. Hee hee."

Yu Yu skillfully got into Li Weiguo's arms and sat directly on the horizontal bars of the bicycle.

Looking at the rain in his arms, Li Weiguo was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and asked, "Huh? Why don't you sit in the back?"

Yuyu turned her head and pursed her lips: "No, just sit in the front. It's cold in the back and warm in the front." As he said that, a blush appeared on the little girl's face.

When Li Weiguo saw her like this, he suddenly burst out laughing, not knowing what this little girl had in mind.

It seems that this little girl is getting bolder and bolder.

Li Weiguo quickly looked around and found that no one was there, so he held Yu Yu's chin and took a sip hard at his pink little mouth.

"Hmm~"

Being attacked so suddenly caused Yu Yu to shut down her computer instantly. She was so embarrassed that she quickly patted Li Weiguo's chest: "Oh, brother Wei Guo, this is on the street."

Li Weiguo hugged her and said with a wicked smile, "Isn't that okay on the street?"

"Oh~ I hate it. Let's leave quickly. Otherwise, the ladies patrolling the streets from the neighborhood committee will come out soon and have to catch you for being a hooligan."

Yuyu was so embarrassed that she quickly pinched him to prevent him from taking any further. Although the relationship between the two had been established and they had had close contact, she was still extremely shy every time this happened.

Li Weiguo smiled and held Yu Yu's little hand, and said confidently: "Hey, I'm still the deputy director of the police station, and the street patrol aunt has to be under my control, I'm not afraid."

"Oh, why don't you leave? If not, I will go back."

His little hand was caught, and Yu Yu was so embarrassed that he pushed his head on his chest and looked around nervously, like a thief who had done something bad.

"Hehe. Okay, let's go, let's go." Li Weiguo laughed and stopped.

Although the crime of hooliganism in the legal sense did not exist until 1979 when the crackdown was launched, the current social atmosphere is still conservative, and being too intimate in public is not good.

So Li Weiguo stopped teasing her, quickly let go, looked in the direction of Wangfujing and rode out with the little girl.

Along the way, facing the cold wind and falling snowflakes, the cold rain made me tremble, and my whole body shrank into Li Weiguo's arms, with my little head pressed tightly against his chest.

Feeling the slight trembling from the rain, Li Weiguo couldn't help but slow down and stretched out his hands to tighten the little girl in his arms.

Wangfujing is not far from Nanluoguxiang, only about ten minutes away. Li Weiguo quickly arrived at the No. 1 Department Store in the Imperial Capital carrying rainwater.

When I arrived at the department store, I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was just before 7:30. The door of the department store was closed and it was not yet time to open for business.

However, at a glance from a distance, there were already long queues in front of the nine entrances and exits, all of which were residents who had come in advance to queue up to shop.

A rough estimate shows that there are at least a few hundred people queuing up now, and there are still people waiting behind us to continue queuing.

Seeing this, Li Weiguo didn't dare to delay. He quickly parked his bicycle in a nearby parking shed and locked it, then went over to line up with the rainwater.

After queuing for more than half an hour, at around 7:50, a cheer sounded from the front of the line, and the nine doors of the department store finally opened one after another.

Good guys, after long-awaited arrival, we finally opened for business early.

As the door opened, the salesperson inside gave an order, and a surging line of people filed in along the door. Li Weiguo and Yuyu, who were in the middle, also hurriedly followed the team, and followed the team into the business hall on the first floor in less than two minutes.

It will be much easier once you enter the business hall. Li Weiguo has been to the department store several times and is very familiar with it.

Without stopping on the first floor, Li Weiguo took the rain and found the direction of the stairs. He quickly crossed the flow of people and ran to the stairs, jumped up to the second floor, and then went straight to the ready-to-wear sales area.

Li Weiguo had already planned before coming here. When he got here, he would first buy some clothes for the old man, and then go up to the third floor and give him the entire radio.

Then he bought some preserved fruit snacks to satisfy Yu Yu's greed. Li Weiguo basically didn't lack anything else, so he would just look at the specific situation.

The department store has just opened at this time, and there are not too many people in the ready-to-wear sales area on the second floor, only the few hundred people who came in first.

After glancing around, Li Weiguo quickly found the middle-aged and elderly ready-to-wear counter.

He led Yu Yu and walked straight over there. When he arrived at the counter, he took a few glances at the dozens of ready-made clothes on the display rack at the back. Li Weiguo quickly settled on the clothes he wanted to buy.

"Comrade, please help me get a dark blue polyester-cotton khaki men's uniform, and then two dark brown cotton-padded jackets. I'm 1.75 meters tall."

Hearing this, the saleswoman looked up at Li Weiguo and made sure he was not trying to amuse her. Then she nodded expressionlessly and turned around to get him some clothes.

"The men's polyester-cotton khaki uniforms cost thirty-three yuan a set, and the cotton-padded jackets cost twenty-nine yuan, a total of ninety-one yuan. The cloth coupons are twenty-nine feet and eight inches, and the cotton coupons are two pounds."

After the saleswoman brought the clothes, she calculated them quickly and gave the total number quickly.

Li Weiguoguo nodded, reached into his pocket, and with a thought, took out a stack of money bills from the space, counted out the corresponding amount, and handed it over.

The saleslady was also neat. After taking the money and counting it, she quickly opened a bill. She sandwiched the money and the bill together, put them on the wire above her head, and pushed hard to the cashier on the other side.

After a while, the cashier collected the money note and threw the stamped note back.

After taking off the receipt, the saleswoman quickly packed the three sets of clothes and handed them to Li Weiguo.

After taking the clothes and thanking him, Li Weiguo continued to walk forward with Yu Yu.
