Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

No matter what everyone thinks, Yu Jiang finally concluded: "So Lu Beiyuan and I both feel that it is good for us to be like this."

Yu Jiang had said this, and those who wanted to persuade him a few more words had the wisdom to stop talking about this topic.

However, a few aunties also asked about Yu Jiang's family and her work in the machinery factory. Yu Jiang did not intend to use his family's affairs as a basis for discussion, so he simply dealt with them in a few words.

The car stumbled for a while and finally stopped at their meeting point on the edge of the county town.

The army's car was not specially used to carry family members like them to the county. The two of them were driving cars purchased by the army.

Therefore, they can only drop off the military families in one place, and then buy what they need.

As a newcomer who was unfamiliar with the place, Yu Jiang naturally followed Captain Xiao's wife. Anyway, the places to buy things were only a few blocks away, and he wouldn't say that he was delaying Captain Xiao's wife.

Sure enough, Captain Xiao's wife took the Yu family to the department store first, where Yu Jiang needed to buy some daily necessities.

Well, although there are enough things here, the things here are really not as good as those in the interstellar.

At least as for some of the sanitary products she needed in the past two days, she had only seen them in the Friendship Store in Beijing. She had never seen such things sold elsewhere.

Thinking back to when she first came to this era and saw the sanitary products of this era for the first time, Yu Jiang made up her mind that she would never use such things.

So far, Yu Jiang has been secretly using sanitary products from the interstellar era.

But in front of outsiders, it is still very necessary to buy one to show off.

As for other things, Yu Jiang actually found a beautiful umbrella on the counter in the corner of this department store.

Relying on the introduction he had read in the book, Yu Jiang knew that this was a very exquisite oil-paper umbrella.

According to reports, this kind of umbrella is not only light, but also practical and beautiful. Not to mention the paintings on the umbrella, it looks like they were made by a master craftsman who put a lot of effort into them.

In short, although this umbrella is more expensive than ordinary umbrellas, it is very collectible.

Even if you don’t use it yourself, it’s a good choice to give it to others later.

Yu Jiang also asked the wife of Commander Xiao who was beside him, who made these umbrellas? Is it only sold in department stores here?

Captain Xiao's daughter-in-law was also very surprised when she heard that Yu Jiang actually asked her something that everyone thought was unworthy.

You know, no one is rich now. If you have the spare money, you might as well buy two more meals of meat to make up for it. Who will buy these things?

"Little sister Yu! Do you... like this umbrella?"

Captain Xiao's daughter-in-law asked Yu Jiang with some uncertainty. After all, Yu Jiang had clearly been very fond of this umbrella just now.

However... Comrade Lu's family seems to be well off, so it's not incomprehensible that Yu Jiang bought an umbrella because he liked it.

Yu Jiang really thinks this umbrella is pretty, mainly because her mother will definitely like it.

"This is quite beautiful. Is it only sold here?"

Only then did Captain Xiao's wife realize that Yu Jiang was still waiting for her answer, and hurriedly explained to Yu Jiang: "This is made by an old craftsman in the county here. He reached a cooperation with the department store a long time ago. He put Umbrellas are sold to department stores.

But you also know that although there is no shortage of people who like these things these days, there are very few people who actually spend money to buy these things. So this thing didn't sell much in department stores. "

However, Yu Jiang was very interested in the old craftsman mentioned by Captain Xiao's wife. She wanted to know what other good things this man could make.

"Auntie, do you know where this old craftsman is?"

Although Captain Xiao's daughter-in-law was very surprised about the reason why Yu Jiang asked the question, she still told Yu Jiang what she knew: "It is said that it is over there at the big locust tree in the west of the city. I don't know the details."

Yu Jiang didn't say what he wanted to do. After thanking Captain Xiao's wife, he called the waiter: "Can you bring me your umbrella?"

The waiter had seen Yu Jiang and Captain Xiao's wife before. Seeing their decent attire, he did not look down upon them and showed the five or six umbrellas to Yu Jiang as requested by Yu Jiang.

The paintings on these six umbrellas are all different. There is an oil-paper umbrella with a picture of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers that Yu Jiang likes the most. Of course, there is also an umbrella with a picture of winter plum blossoms and a picture of the sunset, which are very suitable for Yu and Lu Mu.

When asked if these umbrellas cost 3 yuan each, Yu Jiang did not hesitate at all and directly took out 9 yuan to buy the umbrella.

Captain Xiao's daughter-in-law hurriedly stopped Yu Jiang: "Little sister Yu, no matter how much you like it, you never buy so many at once! This umbrella is not cheap!"

At this moment, no matter how good the impression she had on Yu Jiang before, Captain Xiao's wife began to doubt her own vision of people. This Xiao Yu doesn’t seem to be unintelligent! Why do you want to be taken advantage of and buy a few such expensive umbrellas!

Yu Jiang patted the hand of Captain Xiao's wife to express comfort, but still handed the money to the waiter: "Wrap it up for me."

After that, he explained to Captain Xiao's wife: "Auntie, I bought these umbrellas to give away to others. I finally came here, and I have to bring something for my family when I go back!" I think this umbrella is just right to take home, and it’s also a face-saving gift to give away.”

Hearing that Yu Jiang bought this umbrella as a gift, Captain Xiao's wife did not stop it anymore. She knew that the Lu family was a respectable family in Beijing.

From Yu Jiang's point of view, I think Lai is very good at giving gifts. As an outsider, it's better not to get involved.

Seeing that Captain Xiao's wife did not refuse, the waiter quickly settled the bill for Yu Jiang. I'm afraid that one second later, Yu Jiang, the "foolish guy with a lot of money" who was taken advantage of, would run away.

Yu Jiang also happily took over his umbrella.

In order to make it easier to bring things back openly and honestly, Yu Jiang even bought a backpack and put all the things he bought, large and small, into the backpack.

After the two of them had almost finished shopping, the daughter-in-law of Team Leader Xiao was stopped by someone she knew and wanted to say something to her. Yu Jiang also took advantage of the situation and suggested that he would go shopping nearby and meet at the drop-off point when he returned.

The main reason was that Yu Jiang wanted to go to the old umbrella maker just now without anyone noticing, so he was finally able to act alone after repeatedly promising to Captain Xiao's wife that he knew the way back.

He found the big locust tree based on the address given by Captain Xiao's wife just now. Yu Jiang activated his power and looked for it briefly, and saw several umbrellas drying in the yard of a house.

found it!
