Chapter 55

Su Qianqian bought new clothes, and the whole person came alive again. She held Qiao Wang's arm weakly and went to the watch counter.

The salesperson saw that the two were dressed appropriately and immediately stepped forward to receive them. "Are you here to look at watches?"

Su Qianqian raised her chin. "Take out the best styles and let's see."

The salesperson took out a ladies' watch with a black dial and a black leather strap. "This is a Shanghai brand watch. This one has the highest price, 321 yuan, and it's also the last one in our store. It was transferred from Hu City two days ago, and there is only this one in all of Xichuan."

Su Qianqian was very moved when she heard this. She looked at Qiao Wang, and Qiao Wang immediately gave her enough face. "Wrap it up, I want this one!"

Qiao Wang had just changed shifts with Shen Xunbao, and he had a total of 500 yuan on him. After buying clothes for Su Qianqian, he had less than 400 left, and now he had taken out 321 yuan, leaving him with less than 30 yuan.

He sighed, women really spend money fast when they are extravagant!

Su Qianqian got the exquisite watch and immediately let Shen Xunbao put it on for her. "Brother Shen, does it look good?"

Qiao Wang followed the trend. "You are beautiful, everything you wear and everything you put on looks good."

Su Qianqian glanced at him and smiled like a flower.

The two bought the watch and were about to leave when they found that Pei Huaiye had also come.

He was asking which ladies' watch was the best, and the salesperson looked embarrassed. "The best watch has already been given to this lady by this gentleman. Why don't you look at watches of other brands?"

Pei Huaiye glanced at the watch on Su Qianqian's hand lightly, bought a Seagull brand mechanical watch, gave the salesperson 230 yuan, and left with the box.

Su Qianqian sneered, what could a poor person like Pei Huaiye afford to buy for Su Qingyue.

She asked the salesperson again, "Is there any watch in all of Xichuan that is more precious than the one I have?"

The salesperson said decisively, "Shanghai brand is already the most precious, anything more precious would be foreign brands, but the county town has limited purchasing power, we haven't stocked foreign brand watches."

Su Qianqian got the answer she wanted and said to Qiao Wang with arrogance, "Then let's go look at sewing machines."

Su Qianqian pulled him and was about to go to the electrical appliance counter, but was stopped by Qiao Wang. "Qianqian, it's almost noon, let's go eat first so you don't get hungry, then go to the hospital for your checkup, and then come back to continue shopping. We can't be careless about the child's matter."

He said it seriously, and Su Qianqian was moved by his thoughtfulness. The two went to the State-run Restaurant to eat.

At the dining table, Qiao Wang served her carefully, picking up vegetables and serving soup, a world of difference from his cold attitude of the past few days. Su Qianqian frowned, always feeling that Brother Shen was strange, but she couldn't find any fault.

Pei Huaiye went to the Black Market and found an acquaintance, Lao Jiang. He threw the Seagull brand mechanical watch he had just bought over. "How much more money to exchange for the best watch you have here?"

Lao Jiang caught the mechanical watch. "Yours is only two hundred something, my foreign goods were entrusted to be brought back from the Capital, it took a lot of effort, there is only one in total, I even wanted to wear it myself, anyway, it's not cheap!"

Lao Jiang gestured a number, and Pei Huaiye didn't even blink. "Stop talking nonsense, take it out and let me see."

Lao Jiang grinned. "I like straightforward people like you!" He took out an exquisite dark green box. "You've heard of Swiss Tissot, right? Look at this craftsmanship and style, it's top-notch even in the Capital or Hu City!"

Pei Huaiye looked carefully, the watch strap was genuine leather, the dial was exquisitely unusual, and the style was unique and novel. Such a watch would definitely look beautiful on her skin-like wrist.

He took out 800 yuan. "I want it. Do you have sewing machines here?"

Lao Jiang calculated the Seagull brand watch plus 800 yuan, over 1,000 in hand. His mouth grinned to his temples. "Yes! The State-run Department Store definitely doesn't have stock, right? No coupons needed, give me 230!"

Pei Huaiye pulled out dozens of large bills. "Send it to this address first."

Lao Jiang grinned from ear to ear. "No problem."

Su Qingyue added oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, daily necessities, and various snacks for the family at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. She let her sister-in-law and eldest brother take several large bags back on the tractor.

Su Qingwu looked at Qingyue helplessly. "The family has everything, save the money you earn, your sister-in-law and I will handle the household expenses in the future!"

Su Qingyue smiled. "Big Brother, there's no need to be so clear between family."

Li Zilan felt comforted in her heart and secretly stuffed one yuan into Zhuangzhuang's pants pocket. "This is enough for you to eat three or four catties of twists, remember to buy snacks for your two aunts, and you must bring the remaining money back!"

Zhuangzhuang had pocket money for the first time, held his pants pocket tightly, and nodded his little head excitedly. "Alright Mom, I know!"

Su Qingyue said goodbye to her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and took her younger sister and Zhuangzhuang to the State-run Restaurant to eat. Both of them were eating at such a place for the first time and looked at everything curiously.

The waiter smiled and served the dishes. "Braised pig's trotters, stewed chicken with mushrooms, steamed fish, three bowls of rice, the dishes are all here, please enjoy."

Su Zhuangzhuang learned from his aunt to thank the waiter, and then buried his head in eating.

Su Qingxi gnawed on the pig's trotters, her eyes squinting with happiness. "Sister, this pig's trotter is really delicious!"

Su Qingyue smiled. "You two eat slowly, after eating, we'll pack a portion to take home for Dad and Big Brother and Sister-in-law to taste."

After lunch, Su Qingyue took the two little ones to the Health Center. Yesterday, when she changed Pei Huaiye's medicine, she saw that his gauze and alcohol were gone.

Su Qingyue described the wound simply, and the doctor took the medicine. Medical alcohol was 1.6 yuan a bottle, a roll of bandages was 0.8 yuan, and a small pack of gauze was 0.6 yuan. Su Qingyue wanted five packs. Finally, she took two tubes of antibiotic ointment, 7 yuan. It cost a total of 12.4 yuan.

After buying the medicine, she led her younger sister and little nephew out, not expecting to meet Su Qianqian.

She was about to look away, but Su Qianqian snatched the words. "What's wrong, Su Qingyue? Did you buy so much medicine because you got some strange disease?"

Su Qianqian had just come out of the obstetrics department, and after checking that everything was fine, Qiao Wang was still worried and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for fetal protection.

She didn't dare let Su Qingyue know she was pregnant before marriage, so she deliberately took the initiative to blur the focus.

People coming and going were all looking at them.

Su Qingyue's eyes were cold as frost. "Su Qianqian, what did the doctor say? Can your problem of water in the brain be cured?"

Before Su Qianqian could react, she was protected behind Qiao Wang. He said seriously, "Su Qingyue, Qianqian just bought some anti-inflammatory medicine for a toothache, I hope you won't chew your tongue randomly after returning to the village!"

Su Qingyue's small face condensed slightly. Before she could speak, she saw little Zhuangzhuang open his arms and run to the front to protect her behind him.

The tiny person stood with his legs apart and a domineering look, pointing at Qiao Wang and Su Qianqian with his fleshy little finger. "You are bad people! Don't bully my aunt!"

"Su Zhuangzhuang! I even changed your diapers when you were little! You ungrateful thing!"

"You are not a good aunt, you often snatch my egg custard when Mom is not around!"

Su Qingyue touched Zhuangzhuang's head, pulled him behind her, and handed him to Qingxi for protection.

Her cold eyes swept over. "Su Qianqian! Are you sick, why are you venting your anger on a child?!"

Su Qingyue turned to question Qiao Wang. "And you! Were you also infected with some major disease? Su Qianqian was the one who scolded people first just now, are you blind, Shen Xunbao?! Keep the woman who loves to chew her tongue by your side in check!"

She looked at Su Qianqian's belly and said with disdain, "Not everyone has a dirty mind like Su Qianqian! If people don't offend me, I won't offend them!"

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Su Qianqian held Qiao Wang and smiled provocatively. "Su Qingyue! I'm getting married to Brother Shen tomorrow, do you regret it?

I am the first person in our village to get married with a 'three rounds and one sound' bride price! Pei Huaiye can't afford these things!"
