Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

After the training camp, during one day's rest, Xiao Xiangdong took Meng Xiaoman to Lu City.

Although the supply and marketing cooperative on the island does not have many items, it can basically meet daily needs. Meng Xiaoman had already stocked up on other items such as soap and cream that were in short supply before arriving, so there was no shortage of anything. But Xiao Xiangdong said he needed to buy something, so Meng Xiaoman followed.

As soon as he arrived in Lushi, Xiao Xiangdong took her to the department store in the city.

The department store in Lu City is huge, with four floors. The first floor is for various daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots, pans, and pans. The second floor is for household items and various ready-made clothes and cloths. The third floor is for various household items. Electrical appliances. At the top is an overseas Chinese store, which is only for foreign guests and overseas Chinese, and requires foreign exchange bills to buy things.

Behind the three-foot smooth cement counter is a salesperson wearing a blue uniform. Behind him is a tall, wide variety of but neatly arranged goods.

What amused Meng Xiaoman the most was that at the checkout area, a smooth wire was pulled out to each selling point. There are plywood on the wire, and some have small boxes hanging on them. The customer selects the product and hands the money and ticket to the salesperson. The salesperson clamps the shopping list, money and ticket together on a small clip, pushes it with his hand, and slides it onto the cashier's head with a slurp.

After settling the bill, the cashier slides the change and shopping list back, and the salesperson hands them to the customer.

There were no daily necessities to buy at home, so the two of them strolled around on the first floor and then went to the second floor. Xiao Xiangdong should have been here before. He brought Meng Xiaoman directly to the wardrobe counter and asked Meng Xiaoman to choose clothes. "I have bad taste. See if there is anything you like."

Meng Xiaoman looked around. The shirts and trousers were of ordinary styles, and the skirts were quite satisfactory, with more colors. "The style is average, it's better to buy some good-looking cloth and make it yourself when you go back." Meng Xiaoman said to Xiao Xiangdong that her craftsmanship is much better than these ready-made clothes.

Xiao Xiangdong knew that she could make clothes. Seeing that she really didn't like these clothes, he planned to take her to a place where cloth was sold. But as soon as the two of them took a step, they heard a harsh sneer. "Hey, if you can't afford it, you can't afford it. The style is mediocre. You just have no taste."

The person who spoke was the saleswoman selling skirts.

There were not many people buying ready-made clothes. She was playing with her white fingers and joking with the little girl beside her.

This is the most high-end department store in Lu City, and a piece of ready-made clothing costs at least twenty yuan. It takes more than half a month's salary for an ordinary worker to afford a shirt.

Seeing Meng Xiaoman looking over, the little girl who was talking to her winked and told her to stop talking, but she didn't care, "I'm not wrong, they can go to the mall and hang out, they will meet the world." , where can I afford it?”

The couple in front of them were wearing ordinary clothes, and they looked like they didn't have much money.

Xiao Xiangdong didn't want Meng Xiaoman to be talked about like this, so he stepped forward and wanted to buy one. But she was pulled back by Meng Xiaoman. She didn't want to waste money just because of someone else's words. "Some people just sell something, and they also sell a sense of superiority. It's really funny. It's like watching a house dog." It's like barking at a guest. He's just a bastard who sees things, but he really thinks of himself as the master."

She is not afraid of anything more than Yin and Yang.

After saying that, Meng Xiaoman ignored her ugly expression and took Xiao Xiangdong directly to the cloth sales counter.

The cloth seller was a woman in her thirties, with a round face and smiling eyes, and she spoke particularly kindly. The counter is much busier than the place selling ready-made clothes. Although there are many customers, she is very patient. As long as the customers are interested, she will take the cloth off the shelf and not only let the customers take a closer look, but also introduce what materials they are made of and what styles of clothes they are suitable for.

Seeing Meng Xiaoman and his two people coming over, they greeted them warmly and recommended relatively expensive fine cloth without looking down on them at all. Meng Xiaoman was very fond of her and bought five feet of aqua blue denim cloth with white flowers and five feet of green denim cloth. The army will issue military uniforms and casual clothes, so Meng Xiaoman did not buy them for Xiao Xiangdong.

After buying the cloth, Xiao Xiangdong took her to the third floor.

Radios, electric fans, bicycles, and watches were placed one by one in front of the booth. Many people gathered around to look at them. The salesperson was busy trying to stop everyone from touching them.

Xiao Xiangdong just bought a bicycle two days ago, and she also had a watch. Meng Xiaoman felt that there was nothing needed and thought he wanted to buy something. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiangdong took her directly to a place selling sewing machines and asked her which brand she liked.

Meng Xiaoman looked over one by one. There were bee brand, butterfly brand, trapeze brand, peony brand, swallow brand... I didn't expect that there are so many brands of sewing machines. Among them, the Butterfly brand is from Shanghai and is the most expensive.

At this time, there were many famous brands in Shanghai. Whether it was cream, watches, or sewing machines, they were generally the most expensive of their kind.

"Why do you think of buying me a sewing machine?" There aren't many clothes to make at home, so she can sew them by hand. Besides, there is a modern sewing machine in the space, which she can use secretly.

Recently, there are bicycles and sewing machines. Where does he get the money? Originally, Meng Xiaoman did not ask him to hand over his salary, but now it seems that he still has to get it back, otherwise, the speed at which he spends money will be too great.

"Three big things" Xiao Xiangdong reminded her in a low voice. Only then did Meng Xiaoman remember that he had said before that he would give her the three big things for her wedding. Come to think of it, all I need is a sewing machine.

Seeing his persistence, I finally bought a Shanghai Butterfly model, which cost a full 160 yuan. Even Meng Xiaoman felt a little painful.

After buying the sewing machine, the two went to a state-owned restaurant for a meal before returning to the island.

As soon as he got home, Meng Xiaoman reached out to Xiao Xiangdong and said, "Bring it here."

"What?" Xiao Xiangdong was confused.

"Money, wages, must be handed over in the future." I thought I was good at spending money, but I didn't expect Xiao Xiangdong to be able to spend it even more.

Xiao Xiangdong took out a handful of money, and Meng Xiaoman counted it. Good guy, it was only three dollars and seventy-eight cents.

"No more?" He said it was based on how many flowers there were.

"No more." Xiao Xiangdong replied honestly. Not only is it gone in his pocket now, he also has an advance payment for next month's allowance. A hundred and fifty bicycles and a hundred and sixty sewing machines. His two months' allowance, plus the bonus from this army competition, will be enough.

When Meng Xiaoman heard that he had overdrawn next month's salary, he immediately put his hands on his ears, "You won't be able to live in the future? Besides, isn't your family rich? Why don't you use it."

Not long after she arrived, he advanced her salary. For those who didn't know, he thought she would be able to spend a lot of money.

"I want to buy it with my own salary." In this way, he feels it is more meaningful.

Meng Xiaoman didn't know what he was so embarrassed about. Anyway, it was all family money. "From now on, I will hand over my salary and don't leave any money for myself. I will give you pocket money every month."

Xiao Xiangdong nodded. He had originally planned to hand it over, but it was spent before he could hand it over.
