By the time I returned to comrade Lu Changzheng's house and changed my clothes, it was almost five o'clock.
The two of them didn't dare to delay, quickly locked the door, got on the car and hurried back.
"Stop when you pass by the commune supply and marketing cooperative. I'll look for Xiaolan." Su Mo said to Lu Changzheng.
"What's wrong?"
"When I was admitted to the hospital a few days ago, Xiaolan didn't take care of me. I gave him a gift as a thank you."
"That's okay."
Lu Changzheng would not say that there was no need to give her away. He still agreed with his wife's behavior. If you have helped yourself, you should be grateful.
Although Xiaolan is his sister, he doesn't think it's right to help him take care of his wife.
Because it was getting late, Lu Changzheng rode fast. It usually takes about thirty minutes to ride from the commune to the county seat, but Lu Changzheng got there in twenty minutes.
After Su Mo jumped off the bicycle, she glared at Lu Changzheng.
This idiot, what are you doing riding so fast? Her butt almost fell off.
Lu Changzheng was glared at, a little inexplicably, okay, where did he offend his wife?
Su Mo walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and saw that all the salesmen were sorting things out. There was a lot of piles on the counter floor. New goods must have arrived.
Su Mo's guess was correct, because the autumn harvest was about to end, and the members who had been busy for more than a month would flock to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things like sheep being released from the pen after being kept for a winter. Supply and marketing cooperatives must not try their best to prepare enough inventory to meet the purchasing needs of members.
The period between the end of the autumn harvest and the distribution of grain and money every year is the busiest time for grassroots supply and marketing cooperatives. Especially the section where each team divides the money, the counter is really so crowded that it collapses.
When the salespeople saw someone coming in, they all looked up. When they saw it was Su Mo, Lu Xiaolan stood up and said with a smile, "Su Zhiqing, are you here to buy something?"
They were taking inventory today, and everyone was too busy to ask for gossip, so she didn't know about Lu Changzheng and Su Mo getting the certificates.
"No, I'm here to find you." Su Mo said with a smile.
"Hey, what do you want from me?" Lu Xiaolan put the plated things aside, marked them, then came out of the counter and walked to the side with Su Mo.
Su Mo took out a gift bag made of kraft paper from her bag and handed it to Lu Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, thank you for taking care of me the past few days. This is my gift to you. I hope you like it."
"Oh, Su Zhiqing, you are too polite. It doesn't take much to take care of you. Please take it back quickly." Lu Xiaolan waved her hands repeatedly. She couldn't ask for this because her third brother knew about it.
At this time, Lu Changzheng also came over and said to Lu Xiaolan: "Keep it, it's your third sister-in-law's consideration."
Lu Xiaolan's eyes widened for a moment, what's going on, third sister-in-law? So fast?
Su Mo also took the opportunity to put the gift bag into Lu Xiaolan's hand and said with a smile: "Take it, it's a little thoughtful, just don't dislike it."
Just as Lu Xiaolan was about to speak, she was shocked and speechless by Lu Changzheng's next words.
"Your third sister-in-law and I received the certificate this afternoon. The banquet will be set up on October 1st. You can come back to help then."
"It's getting late, you go do your business, and we'll go back first."
After both of them left, Lu Xiaolan came back to her senses.
Oh my God! He truly deserves to be her third brother!
Things were done so quickly. In just a few days, all the wives were married and brought home.
It's only been four days since discharge from the hospital, right?
I really admire it!
I don't know who Su Zhiqing is, but at least he looks exactly the same, and is a perfect match for her third brother.
Lu Xiaolan looked at the gift bag in her hand. The bag looked very high-end and exquisite. She didn’t know what was inside, and it wasn’t heavy to carry. There were so many people here that it was difficult for her to open it, so she took it back to the counter and put it away, ready to go home. See you later.
On the way back to the brigade, Lu Changzheng also asked Su Mo: "Daughter-in-law, what did you give Xiaolan?"
Mainly because the bag looked very high-end, Lu Changzheng was a little curious.
"Nothing, just a good-quality shirt." Su Mo said.
Lu Changzheng raised his eyebrows. Only his wife dared to say this.
His wife probably doesn’t know how difficult it is to buy indeed good products outside of Haishi. In Heijiang Province, it’s probably only available in Harbin, and most of them are probably sold out as soon as they arrive. You can’t even buy them if you walk slowly. The kind that arrived.
You want to ask him why he is in the army and knows these things?
Because he had a comrade who loved fashion. When he went back to Harbin to visit relatives, he happened to come across a supply and marketing cooperative selling fine fabrics. He wanted to make a shirt for himself, but he finally squeezed in after struggling for half his life. When it came to him, only the last foot of cloth was left. The idiot bought the foot of cloth, made a pair of underwear, and showed off to them every day.
[Popular science: In the 1960s and 1970s, indeedliang was popular in China for its characteristics of being crisp and wrinkle-free, strong and durable, and looking high-end. Indeed, good cloth was extremely difficult to buy in other places outside of Shanghai. It was not until 1974, when the first phase of the Shanghai Petrochemical Project was completed, that 100,000 tons of chemical fiber products were produced every year, and the situation improved. 】
Su Mo had planned to give Yashuang as a gift before, but since she had to get the certificate from Lu Changzheng, she felt that it was a bit difficult to give Yashuang a gift, so she simply gave away the indeed-liang shirt that the original owner was not wearing and found a vintage one from space. Pack in kraft paper gift bags.
Although she doesn't like the material of Doliang very much, in this era, Doliang is still very high-end and difficult to buy even if you have money.
She is about the same height as Lu Xiaolan, and people at this time are thin, so that shirt is suitable for Lu Xiaolan.
*****
The supply and marketing cooperative's inventory was not completed until almost seven o'clock. Everyone packed up and went home from get off work. Lu Xiaolan did the same. She picked up her cloth bag and the gift bag and prepared to go back.
At this time, Sister Huang suddenly stopped her: "Xiaolan, what did your brother's partner give you? Take it out to open everyone's eyes?"
Several other colleagues also stopped. They were also curious, mainly because the gift bag looked really high-end.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Lu Xiaolan had to stop and said with a smile: "I don't know, I haven't opened it yet. I'll take a look."
As he spoke, he opened the seal of the gift bag and took out a moon-white shirt with exquisite workmanship. It had 4 double buttons. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with small floral flowers. The waist was also nipped in. design.
Really good shirt (deleted)
Lu Xiaolan liked the shirt the first time she saw it, and judging from the material, it seemed to be... really good!
One of the male colleagues had a good eye and immediately said loudly: "This is a really good shirt."
The director of the county supply and marketing cooperative who was responsible for connecting them also had a good-quality shirt that he often saw him wearing, so he was very impressed.
The male colleague looked at Lu Xiaolan with envy. This shirt is indeed good, but it is difficult to buy it even if you have money.
"Oh, it turns out to be a really good shirt." Sister Huang said as she reached out to touch it, but Lu Xiaolan dodged it.
"Sister Huang, you haven't washed your hands yet. These clothes are white, so don't touch them in the dark."
"Oh, I'm not too excited. Your brother is really generous with this guy. He even gives away Doliang shirts when he says so. I heard that it costs at least 18 yuan to make a Doliang shirt." Sister Huang said with a look on her face. envious.
That Party Secretary Lu was really unlucky.
Is it too late to ask his brother-in-law to poach him now? Her brother-in-law is not bad either, he is a salaried worker in the factory.
"We are no longer partners. They received the certificate this afternoon. Now she is my third sister-in-law." Lu Xiaolan said, feeling very good about Su Mo in her heart. This third sister-in-law is good and can be dealt with!
Sister Huang:......
