Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Shopping is a woman's nature. Chang Zhengyang was glad that he did not bring the two children with him, otherwise, wouldn't the two children have to spend the whole day shopping in the department store?

As expected, Ms. Guo came to the department store today to shop and bought clothes for her son as a by-product.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for Chang Zhengyang to buy clothes and shoes that fit him because of his height.

There were very few ready-made clothes sold in this era, so the size options for ready-made clothes were also very limited.

Most families buy cloth and make their own clothes, or hire a tailor to make them.

This not only saves money, but also allows you to tailor the clothes to your needs.

How expensive can ready-made clothes be?

A shirt costs eight or nine yuan, which is far beyond the affordability of an average family.

Wangfujing Department Store gathers the best commodities in the country, and it can be said to be Yanjing’s business card for external display.

The products here are not only of full variety, but also of the best quality.

So if you go into Wangfujing Department Store and see foreigners of all skin colors, don’t be surprised.

Yanjing is the capital of a country, and there are many consulates and foreign affairs agencies from various countries.

Many of these international friends who come to China bring their families with them.

International friends are also human beings, they also need to buy various daily necessities.

Therefore, it is very normal to see international friends here. In addition to shopping in Wangfujing Department Store, another store they often visit is the Friendship Store in Donghuamen.

What is sold there are high-end and imported goods, and it is only open to a specific group of people. Ordinary people in Yanjing have only heard of it but have no idea what it is like inside.

Since many of these international friends are tall, if Chang Zhengyang wants to buy ready-made clothes that fit him, he can only do so at Wangfujing Department Store.

As for men's clothes, the styles never change. Pants are only available in three colors: blue, black and gray, and they are all loose and baggy.

Ms. Guo quickly picked out three sets of clothes for her son, plus two pairs of leather shoes, and that was it. His job was done.

Next is Ms. Guo’s free time for shopping.

In fact, there are very few styles of women's clothes these days, and the only cosmetics available are vanishing creams and the like. There are no bags or perfumes at all. So what is Ms. Guo shopping for?

They really are shopping. For example, the counter in front of me is crowded with middle-aged women, young wives and girls.

When I went over to ask, I found out that this silk scarf does not require cloth coupons. No wonder there are so many people buying it.

It turned out that this counter had newly launched a silk scarf from Jiangnan. The color was bright but not gaudy, and the feel was delicate and smooth, which immediately captured Ms. Guo's heart.

She looked up at Chang Zhengyang, who understood immediately and shouted, "Please make way. Excuse me, we want to buy scarves."

So with Chang Zhengyang paving the way, Ms. Guo arrived at the counter smoothly.

The scarves are available in three styles: red, blue and green. The cloud embroidery on them is faintly visible, and it is definitely the work of a master craftsman from Sugong.

Ms. Guo was confused for a moment. Which one should she buy?

Red shows vitality, blue shows elegance, and green is also good, making you look young. It’s so hard to choose!

Chang Zhengyang saw his mother's entanglement and said to the salesperson at the counter: "Comrade, give me one of each color."

"All right, comrade, that's eight dollars and ten cents."

Chang Zhengyang took out some money, counted out eight yuan and ten cents and handed it to the salesperson. The salesperson took it, counted it, made a receipt, then clipped the money and the receipt into the clip above and threw it hard. The clip slid away, and soon slid back. The salesperson took the receipt and took three scarves from behind and handed them to Chang Zhengyang.

"Comrade, please put away your scarf."

Someone will ask, isn’t it said that sales clerks generally have a bad attitude?

Why is she so polite and has such a good service attitude?

where is this place?

Yanjing’s business card and external display window. The sales clerks who can work here are selected from the best of the best, with outstanding professional level and appearance. Here you can feel the spring-like service.

"Mom, now you don't have to worry about which one to choose. Let's take turns wearing them."

"Virtue, how can you waste money like this?"

Ms. Guo happily took the scarf and tried it on her body, but she was criticizing it.

But when she inadvertently glanced at the aunties and young wives who were watching, she couldn't hide the smugness in the corner of her eyes!

Look, my son bought them all for me!

The aunties and young wives obviously understood what Ms. Guo meant, and immediately turned to look at their men with gritted teeth.

If looks could kill, Chang Zhengyang felt as if he had been pierced by thousands of arrows and died completely.

His mother really knows how to make him hate him!

Chang Zhengyang had no choice but to lead the way and squeeze out with all his might.

Just as the mother and daughter squeezed out of the crowd, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a pen in his shirt pocket hurried over. Just as he was about to bump into Ms. Guo, Chang Zhengyang reached out his hand in time and held the other's shoulder.

"Comrade, slow down, please watch the road!"

"Oh, oh, sorry, sorry, I'm in a hurry. I was too anxious just now."

The middle-aged man apologized repeatedly, Chang Zhengyang let go of his hand, and the other party hurried away.

No one knows a child better than his mother. Guo Huiying immediately noticed that there was something wrong with Chang Zhengyang's tone.

"Zhengyang, what happened just now?"

Chang Zhengyang watched the middle-aged man's back until he could no longer see him, then he whispered, "Mom, what do you think that man was doing? If you had seen him for the first time?"

Guo Huiying pondered and said, "Well, I think he's a technician or a cadre or something. Son, is there anything wrong with this person?"

Chang Zhengyang walked towards a less crowded place, saying as he walked: "This person is actually a Buddha."

"Buddha? How is that possible?"

Guo Huiying covered her mouth in surprise. Aren’t all thieves shifty?

Chang Zhengyang saw her confusion and explained softly, "This is normal. A truly skilled thief must be the kind that stands in front of you and tells you he is a thief, but you still think he is not a thief."

"Then let's quickly tell the police and ask them to arrest him!"

Chang Zhengyang shook his head and said, "It's useless unless you catch them in the act. Such thieves only appear in busy areas and only commit crimes a few times a month. Caution is their greatest characteristic. I think the man should have left."

Guo Huiying sighed when she heard this, knowing that the matter was hopeless, so she calmed herself down and started shopping again excitedly.

no way?

Chang Zhengyang glanced at the place where the middle-aged man disappeared just now. He had really offended his mother. It was a blessing for him that he had lost an arm!

It turned out that Chang Zhengyang's grab just now actually contained a secret. After this person returned, within three days, his right arm would become sore and weak, and his ability to make a living would be ninety-nine percent ruined.
