Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years
Chapter 14: Visiting the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Encountering Xueru
The family left the compound. To be honest, except for going to the toilet, Lu Zhenyuan didn't take a good look outside the alley.
When I walked out and took a look, there was actually nothing special, except that there were a lot of alleys, which would be really troublesome if I didn't know the way.
Lu Wanyi was a native of Sijiu City. She had no intention of wandering around, but had a goal in mind.
Nanluoguxiang Hutong is located in Dongcheng District, and it is home to the largest and earliest comprehensive market in the city. In February, a supply and marketing cooperative was also established here.
The family decided to go for a stroll and set off immediately.
Lu Zhenyuan glanced back and found a figure following him. He nodded secretly, then ignored it and concentrated on shopping.
Most of the pedestrians I saw along the way were dressed simply, and there were only a few who were dressed brightly and beautifully.
Lu Zhenyuan knew that clothes would become more and more plain in the coming years. It was not because there were no nice clothes to wear, but the situation. After all, this was the period of the Republic of China, so all kinds of things had appeared.
It didn't take long to reach the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, a five-story building with a blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles, with both Baroque-style stained glass and classical Chinese-style flying eaves and brackets.
Three people walked in. Xiao Yuyan was still too young, so she enjoyed VIP treatment.
There are not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. In the old-fashioned mindsets of some people, they still have to go to the market to buy things. But it must be said that the goods are quite complete.
At this time, Lu Wanyi showed her demeanor as a lady from a wealthy family. She had seen and tasted a lot, and her manners and demeanor when looking at things were different from most people. She gave people the feeling that she was not just looking without buying.
And she was very smart. She didn't run to buy those daily necessities first. Instead, the group came to a watch counter first.
After carefully selecting it, he said to the salesperson, "Please take out this watch for me to try."
The salesperson saw that she was dignified and not impatient, so he took out the watch that Lu Wanyi had specified.
Lu Wanyi picked up the watch skillfully and put it on her wrist.
The salesperson was not dissatisfied when she saw this. Instead, she began to feel a little envious. It was none of her business whether the counter sold more or less items, as long as it was not a distraction.
There was no need for her to show envy to others. She could naturally see that Lu Wanyi had the purchasing power to do so. After all, a watch was not cheap.
"Does it look good?"
Lu Wanyi stretched out her hand in front of several people and asked.
Aunt Mei nodded. Lu Wanyi had good taste. This watch really looked good with her wrist shape.
Lu Zhenyuan also took a look and found that it was a Plum watch, a foreign brand. He glanced at the counter and found that all the watches seemed to be foreign brands.
"Well, it's pretty good-looking."
Seeing that Aunt Mei and her stepbrother both approved of her vision, Lu Wanyi smiled and asked the salesperson directly.
"how much is it?"
"This Plum brand watch is 260 yuan."
expensive!
But the price is reasonable, after all, watches are a scarce commodity at this time.
Lu Wanyi took out her wallet, counted out twenty-six Great Unity banknotes, took off her watch and handed them to the salesperson.
Facing the salesperson's puzzled look, he said, "Give me a new one of the same model."
The salesperson suddenly realized and immediately found out a completely packaged Plum brand watch of the same model. Although some customers would wear it directly, it does not mean that they are not protected.
Those that are worn directly are usually taken directly from the counter exhibits, while the actual shipments are mostly taken from the back.
The reason why Lu Wanyi directly asked for a new one was also for this reason. No one knows whether the exhibits on the counter have been tried on by others. For a wearable item that you have bought with your own money, it is better to have a brand new one.
Then, Lu Wanyi generously bought a watch and gave it to Aunt Mei.
"Aunt Mei, we are all a family from now on. I treat you as an elder, so there's no need to be so polite."
Aunt Mei was very touched and couldn't refuse.
In just a short period of time, he spent 520 yuan, which is quite generous!
However, Lu Wanyi didn't feel sorry at all, and said that she would buy one for Lu Zhenyuan when he grew up.
Lu Wanyi didn't buy this watch just to splurge. Although she already had a watch at home, she would have to work in a couple of years, so having a watch would help her have an accurate sense of time.
Even if they were short of money in the future and sold it, they wouldn't lose much money. Besides, their family is worth tens of thousands of yuan, so they can afford a few hundred yuan.
After buying the watches, the group went on to purchase some daily necessities, filling a large bag.
"Zhenyuan and Xiao Yuyan are both growing up, so they need to change clothes quickly. We need to buy some more cloth." The cheap sister said, and went to buy two more pieces of cloth!
A piece of cloth is 100 feet. Let alone making several sets of clothes with these two pieces of cloth, I estimate that they can make enough clothes for Lu Zhenyuan and Xiao Yuyan from childhood to adulthood.
Although there were better fabrics at home, Lu Wanyi planned to make a few decent clothes for each of them. Although these fabrics were not bad, she didn't feel so bad about changing them.
The weight of this piece of cloth is nearly twenty kilograms. The weight of two pieces of cloth plus some miscellaneous items has already become a burden.
But this doesn't pose a problem for my cheap sister.
She walked to the bicycle sales area and spent 150 yuan to buy a brown Fei Ge brand women's bicycle and a bicycle lock.
There is no need to stamp the car at this time. Just pay the fee, take the car, keep the receipt and ride away.
I pushed the bicycle back and put all the things I bought directly on the bicycle, which saved a lot of trouble.
As the group walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they were suddenly stopped by a clear voice.
"Wanyi?"
"Wanyi!"
Before Lu Wanyi noticed the first call, the man called out again.
Lu Zhenyuan immediately looked towards the place where the shouting came from and found a beautiful girl in beautiful clothes jogging towards them.
It is not much inferior to its cheaper sister.
At this time, Lu Wanyi also heard someone calling her and turned around to look.
"Sheru!"
Seeing the person coming, Lu Wanyi was also surprised.
The two girls hugged each other.
"That's great, Wanyi, I heard about your family's situation and thought..." The girl's voice was a little choked, and she was crying with joy.
She was also happy to see her good friend Lu Wanyi, but she knew that some things were not suitable to be discussed on the street.
"Xue Ru, this is not the place to talk. Why don't you come sit down at my current home?"
The girl nodded repeatedly, suppressed her curiosity and went home with the others.
On the way, his eyes would from time to time fall on Lu Zhenyuan who was walking and Xiao Yuyan who was being held in his arms.
When they returned to the courtyard, they didn't encounter any beasts. After Lu Wanyi opened the lock, the group took the things into the house and left the bicycle outside first.
After shopping for the whole morning, Aunt Mei had to go to work at noon, so she went into the kitchen to prepare lunch in advance.
There were only four people left in the living room.
Lu Zhenyuan held Xiao Yuyan in his arms and listened to the two girls talking. He even wiped away his tears as he talked.
After listening for a while, he also understood the relationship between Xueru and his cheap sister. In the words of later generations, they were good friends. It was obvious that they were not just fake sisters.
After learning about Xiao Yanran and Lu Zhenyuan's identities, they felt very distressed.
One lost his parents at such a young age, and the other is an orphan.
"Then, that aunt is..." The girl wiped her tears and looked towards the kitchen with red eyes.
"That's Aunt Mei. She came to take care of our family because of Zhenyuan." Lu Wanyi didn't want to hide anything from her good sister. Of course, it was impossible to ask her to explain it in detail, not to mention that she herself only knew a little about it.
The girl blinked when she heard that and looked at Lu Zhenyuan, thinking that this little guy must be someone else.
But she didn't ask too many questions, as asking too many questions would be annoying.
Aunt Mei prepared to leave after cooking, but her cheap sister persuaded her to stay, and she ate a slightly early lunch before going to work.
The girl named Xueru did not leave until the afternoon and promised to come often in the future.
"Sister Wanyi, who is she?"
"She...her name is Chen Xueru, and she's my childhood friend." Lu Wanyi said briefly without any intention of introducing her in detail.
But when Lu Zhenyuan heard the name Chen Xueru, he felt it sounded familiar.
Thinking about the feeling that the other party gave me just now, it seems very smart, wait! Smart... Chen Xueru, this!
Lu Zhenyuan seemed to guess why this Chen Xueru gave him a familiar feeling. Wasn't this the Chen Xueru from Zhengyangmen? No wonder she gave people a sense of being smart and capable.
Although she is still young, she already exudes an auntish aura. Turns out it is her!
If Chen Xueru exists in this parallel world, does that mean there is a possibility that other people will appear?
