Four hundred and five!

Feng Qingxue gasped. Imported watches were so expensive!

She was just thinking about buying an imported watch for Lu Jiang, since they didn’t require any coupons.

Simply put, in this era, watches were like the wedding rings of later generations.

Lu Jiang had bought her so many things, which deeply touched her. She also wanted to reciprocate in kind.

She wasn’t short of money.

Her space was also filled with plenty of goods.

Although imported watches were very expensive, she could afford them. Moreover, Rolex watches had always been a relatively value-holding luxury.

Moments after she made up her mind, Lu Jiang had been shocked for a few seconds after the salesperson had spoken, “After the price adjustment, it’s indeed lower than previous years. I remember Zhou Tuanzhang bought a Rolex a few years ago for five hundred and fifty.”

“Yes, the prices have dropped a lot. Also, Soviet watches are cheaper, ranging from seventy to a hundred and fifty.”

“Let’s buy this one. No Soviet watches.” In the world of watches, Swiss watches have always been top-notch.

Lu Jiang finished speaking and deftly took out money to give to the salesperson. He was secretly glad that he had brought enough money today. Like the salesperson who sold cloth, she clipped the money and receipt onto a clamp on the wire above her head, swiftly moving it back and forth.

Only then did Feng Qingxue notice the crisscrossing wires overhead, which seemed to be controlled by tracks.

How strange, this was her first time seeing such a thing. The department stores in the county didn’t have this.

“Here, let me put this on for you.” After clearing payment, Lu Jiang took the watch and put it on Feng Qingxue’s left wrist.

Looking at the shiny watch on her fair wrist, the watch chain was a bit loose, so Lu Jiang adjusted it. He had no choice but to settle for less in the absence of jewelry. He still felt sorry for his future wife on this, “It looks nice, keep it on.”

Feng Qingxue smiled, “Will wearing it arouse people’s jealousy? Where there’s jealousy, there’s trouble.”

“It’s hard to say in these times.”

Lu Jiang knew his family was always under scrutiny and should be more cautious.

The pair left the department store with bags of goods and headed into the grocery store. Many counters were empty. There were no foodstuffs like chicken eggs and pork left, but some candy still remained.

Lu Jiang took out his egg tickets and bought two pounds of cake, and with his candy tickets he bought a pound of hard candy along with the only remaining pound of brown sugar in the store.

“Young ladies should have more brown sugar, it’s beneficial and harmless.” Lu Jiang informed Feng Qingxue.

“Thank you.” Besides these two words, Feng Qingxue was so moved she didn’t know what else to say.

They passed the cinema, and Lu Jiang wanted to take her to see a movie, but they were not showing any film today, so they had to return regretfully.

They entered Wanglou Brigade and when they were about to reach Wang Zhengguo’s house, Lu Jiang got out of the car and walked side by side with her, unable to bear parting, “I’ll come to pick you up at your house in three days, take you to my place for a meal, and then send you back in the afternoon.”

Feng Qingxue had no objections, and Wang Zhengguo was happy about it.

As an elder, after Lu Jiang bid farewell, neither Wang Zhengguo nor Miao Fengqin asked what Lu Jiang had bought for their niece. Seeing them bringing back big and small bags of goods, they knew Lu Jiang had spent a lot today.

Feng Qingxue divided the bought cake, hard candy, and brown sugar in half and gave them to Miao Fengqin, but she refused.

“Don’t be polite with me. Take them back to replenish your body along with Xiaoyun. You both need it more than anyone else,” Miao Fengqin said.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingxue reluctantly took it back.

She had heard from Lu Jiang that he had been sending money and coupons to his father over the years, often giving Wang Zhengguo some grain tickets, sugar tickets, cloth tickets, and so forth. So, the fine goods that were hard for others to obtain were actually easy for Wang Zhengguo to get.
