Li Yue'e watched the fabric counter for a long time. Seeing that she was fascinated, Su Mo asked, "Mom, what kind of fabric do you like? I'll pull it for you."
Li Yue'e waved her hand, "No, mom just looks at these cloths and feels happy. These days are getting better and better. Look at these cloths, how beautiful they are."
Li Yue'e looked at it for a while, and then went to the other counters to look at them one by one. Basically, there was only one counter for each category.
Li Yue'e was amazed when she saw it, and sighed as she watched, it would be great if this child has a future. If the third child hadn't brought her here, she wouldn't have had the chance to see such a world in her life.
When she saw that there was a counter for candies, Li Yue'e exclaimed. She had never seen so many candies.
In the commune supply and marketing cooperative, there is only one kind of fruit candy with cellophane paper. Toffee can only be eaten once in a while when Lu Changzheng sends it back.

Candies are free of charge, and the children have just received their New Year's money, so they all come to buy candies. The counter is crowded with children and adults, and the candy salespersons are so busy that they don't touch the floor.
Li Yue'e thought about her grandchildren at home, so she squeezed in and chose two kinds of candies she had never seen before, buying half a catty of each. One is crisp candy, which costs 55 cents for half a catty, and the other is sandwich candy, which is more expensive, costing 90 cents for half a catty.
They all came to the city to see the world, so Li Yue'e no longer felt sorry for the expensive price and bought it back for her children to try.
Li Yue'e gave one dollar and a half to the salesperson and waited for him to change.
The cashier method here is the classic aerial steel wire cashier.
Department stores are divided into several areas, and each area has a cashier. The checkout counters are built in mid-air, and are located in the middle of the area. With the checkout counter as the center of the circle, steel wires are pulled from the air to each counter.
After the customer gives the money ticket, the salesperson clamps the opened order and money ticket with an iron clip and hangs it on the steel wire. When the switch is pressed, the clip will be sent to the cashier in mid-air. After the cashier found the change, he hung the clip on the wire, pushed it hard, and it came down again with a swish.
The picture I found online is similar to this, except there are steel wires on all sides of the checkout counter in a department store.
Li Yuee watched as the salesperson put the money clip on the wire and sent it to the cashier. After a while, a clip slid down from the cashier, holding the five cent change for her.
Li Yue'e was amazed by what she saw, and said to Su Mo beside her: "Xiao Mo, my mother's eyes have been opened today."
Su Mo pursed her lips and snickered. Not only did she open her eyes, she also opened her eyes. The last time she came here, she couldn't take her eyes off it either.
"Xiao Mo, you said it's like this. What if it falls? Wouldn't the money have to be picked up?" Li Yue'e asked the doubts in her heart.
Obviously, Li Yue'e was not the only one who thought this way. Su Mo saw many children following the conveyed clips, probably thinking that they would be easier to pick up if they fell.
"The clip should be very tight and won't fall off under normal circumstances." Su Mo explained.
Seeing such a lively scene, Lu Boming's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Such a life is great!
People no longer need to be frightened and enslaved like pigs and dogs. They can live a peaceful and stable life. As long as they work hard enough, life will always get better day by day.
In the past, there would have been so many things for the common people to buy. As long as there were some good things, they would have to be hidden for fear of being snatched away.
Seeing Lu Boming's behavior, Lu Changzheng said with relief, "Master, don't worry, the days will only get better and better in the future."
He read the book about the future of Daughter-in-law’s Space. The future life will be so good beyond his imagination. There are abundant supplies and unlimited purchases. There are stores like department stores everywhere. Cars are available in almost every family. Everyone can ride on airplanes. , and there is something called high-speed rail, which is incredibly fast.
If only I could see such a scene, how great it would be!
Lu Boming wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Yes, the days to come will only get better and better."
The group of people continued shopping, and when they reached the wool counter, Su Mo bought two and a half pounds of light gray wool, intending to knit a sweater for Geng Changqing.
Geng Changqing took good care of her family and gave her money and gifts from time to time, so she could only give back a little bit.
In addition to the sweater, she planned to choose a good piece of cloth from her aunt and asked Li Yue'e to make a Chinese tunic suit.
Some counters in department stores are dedicated to finished clothes, shoes and hats. The items here are more expensive, and the foot traffic is much less.
While walking around, Lu Changzheng noticed a gaze staring at him. He turned around and saw Luo Yuan, director of the Qingxi County Revolutionary Committee, followed by a young woman who looked familiar.
When Liu Ping saw Lu Changzheng looking over, she smiled and walked over with Luo Yuan.
"Comrade Lu, what a coincidence. Are you bringing your family over to visit the department store?"
Lu Changzheng finally recognized this person as Liu Ping and said calmly: "Yes."
Then he nodded to Luo Yuan as a greeting.
Su Mo was accompanying Li Yue'e to choose a hat.
The hats Su Mo bought for Lu Boming and Lu Qing'an a few days ago seemed good to Li Yue'e. It was a rare trip and she thought about buying one for her second son, so that he wouldn't have to keep mumbling that he didn't love her.
Yesterday, the second family gave her a 10 yuan red envelope. Since they were generous, she is not a stingy person either.
When Su Mo heard someone talking to Lu Changzheng, she looked over.
When Liu Ping saw Su Mo, there was a little disdain in her eyes.
But as for her pretty face, it wasn't as good as her aunt said. I don't have a good figure and I don't have any good taste.
Su Mo was wearing the military green cotton-padded jacket today. She had no clothes in winter and could only wear two sets of cotton-padded jackets interchangeably. She is now starting to show her pregnancy, and she is wearing a cotton-padded jacket. She has no figure at all.
Su Mo saw the disdain in Liu Ping's eyes and was confused.
Where does this neurosis come from? Isn't it Lu Changzheng's rotten peach blossom again?
"Comrade Lu, are these your lover and mother?" Liu Ping asked.
Before Lu Changzheng could answer, he extended his hand to Li Yue'e again: "Auntie, hello, I'm Liu Ping."
Li Yue'e's heart skipped a beat, why did she meet him here? The person you were dating before didn't look kindly at this visitor, so don't let Xiao Mo get the wrong idea.
Seeing that Liu Ping was still holding out her hand, Li Yuee took a hat and put it in her hand, "Do you want this hat?"
This woman didn't look nice, she wasn't real at all. Fortunately, she didn't go to see her at that time.
It's winter, so wear a woolen coat and you won't feel too cold. When Feng develops rheumatism, it won't hurt her to death when she gets old.
The corner of Liu Ping's mouth twitched, she put her hat back, retracted her hand, and curled her lips maliciously: "Aunt, I am Liu Guangying's niece. I had an appointment with Liu Ping, who was dating Comrade Lu Changzheng. It's a pity that my luck was not good. Someone cut me off halfway, otherwise, we might have become a family."
As soon as Liu Ping said these words, there was a moment of silence all around. Many people began to prick up their ears. The faces of Lu Changzheng and Luo Yuan also turned dark instantly.
