Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Chapter 10 The Dumb Bride of the 7th Generation

The aunts were talking excitedly, and Shi Yan found it very interesting. The little kid in her heart was cracking melon seeds, but she looked helpless, and she would glance at Fu Sheng from time to time.

"It's okay, the aunts are just happy for you."

"Where do you want to go first: the supply and marketing cooperative, the bookstore, or just wandering around the streets?"

Regarding the options given by Fu Sheng, Shi Yan decisively chose one.

It was still the planned economy era, and there wasn't much to see on the streets. Any stall that could be set up had to have the word "state-owned" written on it, and you had to have a ticket to buy anything.

As for the black market, although no tickets are required, the goods there are definitely more expensive than those sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Although it was Shi Yan's first time to come to the town, it was all written about in her textbooks when she was in school, so she probably still had some impression of it.

"Okay, if you want to buy anything, just point it out to me and I'll buy it for you."

The supply and marketing cooperative in the town is a red brick bungalow of about 100 square meters. There are some old handwritten signs and promotional information hanging at the door, and a strong sense of age is overwhelming.

When you walk into the room, the counter is in the shape of a U. Facing the door are the best-selling daily necessities, while on both sides are clothing and food. At the very back are the high-priced goods that ordinary people want to buy but have no way to buy them.

Fu Sheng immediately fell in love with a pair of women's short-sleeved shirts on the counter on the left. They were different from the shapeless sweatshirts that the little girl wore every day.

The shirt is trendy in style and looks fashionable when worn. Most importantly, it has a collar. When little girls wear it in the future, they don’t have to worry about accidentally seeing something they shouldn’t see.

Although the girl is small and has a tender face, she is 18 years old after all. It is still appropriate for her to wear clothes that girls of this age like.

"Xiaohua, what colors do you want for this shirt?"

Fu Sheng casually pointed to a shirt hanging behind the counter. After Shi Yan took a look at it, she felt that clothes of this era were really all the same. She chose a pink and floral one according to the original owner's preferences. Shi Yan felt that this was fine.

Compared to the shirt that was a bit stuffy, she felt that the sweatshirt that the old men and women loved to wear was more comfortable.

However, Fu Sheng had no intention of stopping there as Shi Yan intended. Whenever he saw something suitable, especially clothes with collars, he would pick out a few. Later on, Fu Sheng didn't need to choose the colors, as they were all pink or floral, and the most normal color was white.

After seeing this, if Fu Sheng had not had enough cloth coupons, he probably would not have planned to stop. However, starting from the styles of clothes Fu Sheng chose, Shi Yan also discovered their similarities.

She subconsciously glanced at her chest, and it seemed to have indeed grown a little. Originally, it was flat and the clothes were sticking to her body, but now because of the slight bulge, the round collar could no longer hold it.

Shi Yan pulled Fu Sheng's clothes, pointed to the counter selling radios at the back, and told him not to forget what the main purpose of going out today was.

"Xiaohua, stay here and watch them pack the things. I'll go buy the radio. We'll go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some food later, and then we'll go back."

Shi Yan nodded.

"Little girl, was that your brother? Is he married yet? Look at our Xiaojuan. She is pretty and has a formal job. Most importantly, she has a good personality. Even if she marries your brother in the future, she will still treat you well."

Just now, when Fu Sheng was choosing clothes, the two sales clerks behind the clothing counter were very enthusiastic and spoke with a smile. Shi Yan originally thought that the stories in the novels she had read in the past about sales clerks with stable jobs who were particularly arrogant were all fake.

Now, taking advantage of Fu Sheng's absence, these two people finally revealed their true intentions. It turns out that they have their eyes on the male protagonist.

Shi Yan turned her gaze to the two sales clerks behind the counter, glanced back and forth at their faces, and finally set her sights on the young girl who was blushing.

Shi Yan nodded in the direction of the two of them: Fu Sheng got married, right in front of you two.

The young girl was a little stunned and didn't know what Shi Yan meant.

The middle-aged woman was a little excited: "Girl, where do you live? A first-class girl like my Xiaojuan is very popular, especially her current job is very popular."

"If you want to buy clothes in the future, we have internal prices. Now that Xiaojuan is your sister-in-law, you can spend a lot less money."

Shi Yan nodded: It does save money.

"Girl, aren't you teasing your aunt on purpose? Tell me the truth, what does your nodding mean?"

"Have you packed the things we need yet?"

After Fu Sheng finished shopping, he turned around and saw the clothing clerk was not busy working, but was talking to the girl.

"Comrade, I'm sorry, I just saw that your sister is pretty. I have a nephew from a distant relative who works in a garment factory, and I thought that the girl has a tender face, so we should meet each other now, and get to know each other for two years, and then we can get married."

The middle-aged woman was not talking nonsense, she did have such a distant relative, but it was not her turn to decide the other person's marriage. It was just that her daughter was here now, and it seemed a bit too much to ask the gay man about marriage in front of her.

By the time my daughter gets married, I’m afraid she won’t be able to stand firm in her husband’s family.

This woman had a long-term vision, but Fu Sheng's face darkened.

He will definitely find a good husband for the little girl in the future, but it definitely won't be in this small town. Anyway, the little girl is still young, and he plans to slowly choose one after returning to the capital. If he really can't find a satisfactory one, he can always support the little girl.

"I think you may have made a mistake. This is my wife, not my sister. I don't need anyone to be her matchmaker. Besides, we are here to buy things. I have already paid, but you haven't packed my things yet. Are you trying to extort money?"

"Aren't we doing it for you? Why are you so fierce?"

The middle-aged woman felt that she was being fooled by Shi Yan. Although she was working, she was hammering and banging her head as if someone owed her something. Even the brown paper used to wrap things became wrinkled because of her movements.
