Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

“Jungguk, how about this watch?”

Sun Zhengguo looked in the direction Ning Xiaowei pointed.

Inside the counter, there was an exquisite and compact all-steel ladies' watch.

Looking at the shining expression in Ning Xiaowei's eyes, Sun Zhengguo could understand that she was attracted by this watch.

"Comrade salesman, could you please take out this watch? We want to take a look at it."

Action speaks louder than words, so Sun Zhengguo immediately called the salesperson.

The saleswoman was a lady in her 30s who had some ability in judging people. She took out the watch without saying a word.

"Thank you!"

Ning Xiaowei thanked him, took the watch, looked it up and down, left and right, and tried it on her wrist. It was the right size, so she took off the watch and handed it to Sun Zhengguo.

“Jungguk, I tried it and it’s ok, would you like to take a look too?”

Sun Zhengguo took the watch and was about to say, "If you like it, just buy it!"

Suddenly, he noticed a line of words on the back of the watch, his face immediately darkened, and he handed the watch back to the salesperson.

"Comrade, please change it. I don't like this watch."

The after-sales clerk took the watch, smiled unnaturally, and then said.

"It's okay. We have another one here that's similar to this one, a Plum watch made in Switzerland."

It seemed that the salesperson understood what the problem was. He did not explain too much, but took out another watch from the counter next to him and handed it to Sun Zhengguo again.

Sun Zhengguo took the watch, looked at it carefully, and found no problem with it before handing it to Ning Xiaowei.

"Xiao Wei, this piece is similar to the previous one. Take another look. If you like it, we will buy it."

Ning Xiaowei didn't know what had just happened, but she unconditionally supported the decision made by Sun Zhengguo.

So she took the watch again, and just as Sun Zhengguo said, the two watches were similar in shape, and this one even felt a little thicker.

"Jungguk, I think this piece is pretty good, but I wonder if it's expensive?"

"As long as you like it."

"Comrade! How much does this watch cost?"

"This watch is imported, a little more expensive, 240 yuan, but it doesn't require a ticket."

The salesperson said cautiously.

Because if they sell this kind of imported watch, they can get a commission, so she lowered her attitude very much, hoping that customers would buy it.

"Ah! Jungkook, forget it! This is too expensive."

It’s not Ning Xiaowei’s fault. The price of ordinary domestic watches is generally between 80 and 120, and this watch has doubled.

"It's okay! This is the only time we get married in this life, so it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive!"

Sun Zhengguo comforted.

"Comrade! We bought this watch. Could you please issue the invoice?"

"Okay! Please wait a moment."

Sun Zhengguo's words were like the sound of nature. Even the sales clerk, who usually looked down on others, sounded nice.

"Jungguk, why don't you consider this again? This isn't really a necessity."

Ning Xiaowei wanted to persuade him again, but Sun Zhengguo didn't give her a chance.

He quickly counted the 24 big black tens and handed them to the saleswoman, and the transaction was completed.

After taking the packaged box, Sun Zhengguo put the watch box in his bag and put the watch directly on Ning Xiaowei.

Because it was summer, Ning Xiaowei was wearing a skirt with her arms exposed. Now she was wearing a watch, which made her look even more extraordinary.

"Tsk tsk! Such a beautiful wrist should have been matched with a watch a long time ago. Beautiful! So beautiful!"

Ning Xiaowei was somewhat uncomfortable with being held by the hand and praised by Sun Zhengguo in public.

"Jungguk, there are too many people here, please be careful of the impact."

"What are you afraid of? Is there anything wrong with me praising my wife?"

The two were showing their affection when the saleswoman brought the invoice.

After receiving the invoice, the two left the watch area.

"Xiao Wei, didn't you want to ask about what happened just now?"

"No, I definitely support the decision you make. If you say you don't want to buy it, then there must be a reason for not buying it."

Sun Zhengguo felt relieved to see Ning Xiaowei's unconditional support for him, but he still told her the reason.

"There's nothing wrong with that watch just now, but it was made by Xiaori, do you understand?"

After listening to Sun Zhengguo's words, Ning Xiaowei suddenly realized, so that's it?

She really didn't notice it. If she knew, she definitely wouldn't want it.

You know, it has only been ten years since the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the hatred is far greater than in later generations.

After the two explained everything clearly, they went to the sewing machine area.

Neither of them knew anything about sewing machines, so Ning Xiaowei said she could only go back and learn slowly.

In the end, Sun Zhengguo, based on the principle of only buying expensive things and not buying the right things, bought a butterfly sewing machine, which cost him 220 yuan, plus a ticket.

However, after the two of them made the purchase, they did not rush to pick up the goods, but instead left them in the warehouse. They would wait until they had bought all the items and then arrange for someone to deliver the goods.

“Jungguk, I find that you are completely unreasonable when buying things. Those that cost more than a hundred yuan can also be used.”

"Oh! Didn't I tell you? You're only going to get married once in your life, so if you're going to buy a good one, buy one."

Sun Zhengguo ignored Ning Xiaowei's words and continued to do as he pleased, spending another 120 yuan to buy a Mudan brand radio.

The next big item that needed to be purchased was a bicycle. Sun Zhengguo did not intervene because it was Ning Xiaowei's dowry and he could only let her choose for herself.

The two came to the bicycle area, and Ning Xiaowei looked around and finally set her eyes on a Phoenix women's bicycle.

Although women's bicycles are smaller than men's bicycles, they are not cheap at all and are dozens of dollars more expensive than men's bicycles.

In the end, Ning Xiaowei was so willful that she spent 198 yuan and a bicycle ticket to buy the women's bicycle.

"Of course! Xiaowei, you're still blaming me, aren't you the one who only buys the expensive ones?"

"No way! There are fewer women's cars, so they are more expensive. I can't help it."

Now that the four major items were all purchased, the two took out the list and started running around the building, preparing to buy all the items on the list.

No idea how much time had passed, but when the two walked out of the department store, they had no more stuff in their hands. Ning Xiaowei was still okay, but Sun Zhengguo had things hanging on his body.

Wobo, who was waiting for work on the side, had a keen eye and ran over immediately.

"Comrade, do you need a taxi?"

"Of course. There is also a sewing machine and a radio in it. If we add these things and send them to Juer Hutong, how much will it cost?"

Sun Zhengguo put down his things and asked.

Because Juer Hutong is not far from here, Wobo didn't dare to ask for an exorbitant price. In the end, he asked for 60 cents, which included loading and unloading.

With Wobo's joining, Sun Zhengguo's work became easier. He loaded all the things onto the cart and went to the warehouse to take out the large items. Except for the bicycle, he loaded everything else onto the cart.

After everything was loaded, the two men pushed the cart, with Wobo following behind, all the way to Juer Hutong.
