Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, the snow was still falling, but the momentum had slowed down a lot, and every household began to come out to clean the snow in front of their door. The yard was easy to clean, as it was a small area, and soon, large piles of snow piled up all over the ground.

Around 10 o'clock, the street began to organize a general cleanup. Nanluoguxiang has more than 20 alleys, plus the main roads, so the workload is still quite large. Fortunately, there are many people, and everyone divides the work, just like the enthusiasm of digging mountains and rivers in the past. Before noon, the snow was almost cleared.

The road was open, and it was convenient to go out. He Yuzhu made a meal of mutton dumplings at home, and the couple went out for shopping after eating. They walked along the Imperial City to the Jiefang Shopping Mall. As soon as they arrived, the mall was already crowded with people. It seemed that people were bored at home.

He took Zhu Lin to the second floor, which is a special area for selling clothes. It is said that women can't walk when they come here. They look at this and that, and they seem to like them all. Director He is a man who dotes on his wife. As long as his wife likes something, he will buy it.

"Comrade, please take down that coat and let us have a look!" He Yuzhu said, pointing to a gray woolen coat.

The salesperson nodded, then picked up the coat with a fork. He Yuzhu took it and touched the material, thinking it was okay. In that era, there was no high technology or hard work, and everything was made by hand, with guaranteed quality and quantity.

"Wife, try it!"

"Yuzhu, no need, I have clothes to wear!"

Zhu Lin was a little embarrassed. Although she loved beauty, she was restrained in her love and only chose things within her financial means. After all, she had already bought one before the New Year. To be honest, she felt a little distressed to spend money again now.

But He Yuzhu took off Zhu Lin's scarf without saying anything, and asked her to take off her coat: "Oh, just listen to me. If you don't spend money when you go out to play, you might as well not come out!"

"Don't move!" Zhu Lin grabbed He Yuzhu's big hand and said blushingly, "I can do it myself!"

He Yuzhu was immediately amused and said to the salesperson with a smile: "The new bride is shy!"

He was not joking, but making his position clear, because the way the salesperson looked at the two of them seemed a little strange.

Sure enough, when the salesperson heard this, he immediately grinned and said, "Comrade, you are so lucky to have married a man who loves his wife. If my husband could be like him, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"

Zhu Lin shyly hit He Yuzhu, but still said generously: "Then I will try it!"

The salesperson hurriedly unbuttoned the new clothes and handed them to her. When Zhu Lin put on the clothes, her temperament changed immediately. Her tall stature, perfect figure and beautiful appearance instantly attracted the attention of many gay men.

The salesperson couldn't help but praise: "Oh, she's so beautiful, just like she was tailor-made for me!" Then she smiled at He Yuzhu and said, "Comrade, you are so lucky. You have such a sharp eye. Where did you find such a pretty girl?"

"Haha, the secret cannot be revealed~" He Yuzhu said with a proud smile: "Comrade, do you have a women's belt?"

The salesperson was surprised and asked, "Why are you looking for a belt? You look so beautiful in this outfit!"

Having said that, she still found a few belts. He Yuzhu picked out some and took a relatively wide belt to tie around Zhu Lin's waist, which instantly raised her sense of fashion by several levels.

"Wow!" the salesperson exclaimed, "You know what, it feels different after this tying. It looks so good!"

There is no such word as fashion nowadays. The saleslady didn’t know how to describe it and her eyes were full of envy.

Zhu Lin looked in the mirror and loved it. She didn't expect that a small belt could change a style. It was really unexpected.

"Okay, that's it!"

He Yuzhu took the bill and confirmed the amount, then took out the money and handed it back to the salesperson. She stamped the bill and tied it to the iron clip above her head. Then she threw it hard and ran straight to the cashier along the steel wire. This was the special way of paying in that era.

After a while, the change was returned in the same way. He Yuzhu packed the old clothes in a cloth bag and took Zhu Lin downstairs.

(Regarding the formalin mentioned in the previous chapter, this is not the high-purity formaldehyde solution used for soaking corpses, but a special disinfectant used by the small clinics at that time. It is a disinfectant made by mixing 10-30% formaldehyde aqueous solution, that is, diluted formalin, with 60-80% ethanol, and other reagents. This formula is said to have been invented by a barefoot doctor. It can not only be used to disinfect syringes, because it is not disposable, it is usually used when there is no time for fumigation. In addition, it can also clean various sores and pustules. The cost is much lower than pure alcohol, and the effect is good. It is the only choice for rural doctors.)
