Vol 2 Chapter 85: Happy shopping

The car quickly drove all the way to the provincial capital. The first car in front, Xiao Zhou, was driving, sitting with Mr. Lin, Lin Lishan, Zhang Guoqing and Xizi.
At this moment Xizi's face was stern, pretending to be calm, except for a pair of eyeballs turning curiously, the whole body was tight. Zhang Guoqing looked at it funny, but didn't prompt him. It is estimated that after a while, the spirit will relax. The child's attention to his deportment indicates that he has really grown up. Pointing in front of people will damage his self-esteem.
Xiao Zhou drove the car, looked in the rearview mirror, and persuaded: "Chief, take a break first. It will take almost two hours to get to the provincial capital without entering the county seat."
"Well, you drive well, pay attention to safety, we are not in a hurry."
The car did not stop all the way, and the two cars drove directly to the guest house of the Provincial Military Command. Waiting for them to get out of the car and go inside, not waiting for Xiao Zhou to open the room. Several soldiers came from afar, and they had already received news that they had come to receive Mr. Lin and directly led him upstairs into the room.
After everyone entered the room, Lin Lishan impatiently watched them greet them, and to see if it was early, she whispered to Old Man Lin and wanted to take the children out for a walk. After getting permission, she quickly took Xizi and left.
Out of the lobby of the guest house, Lin Lishan took Xizi's little hand. After getting in the car, she drove directly to the provincial capital. On the way, she asked two pedestrians and found the Friendship Mall smoothly.
The Friendship Mall in the provincial capital was just planned to open at the end of last year. It is only available to overseas Chinese living abroad, or you can enter with overseas remittance coupons. It is said that there is a dazzling array of goods in it, and the three-story building is very eye-catching in the provincial capital. No wonder if you just ask, there are people pointing their fingers.
Lin Lishan stopped the car and walked towards the gate of the mall with Xizi. Two security guards stood at the wide gate, and when they saw them, they whispered that non-Chinese nationals or no remittance coupons could not enter.
Lin Lishan also went to Friendship Mall to shop in the capital. Knowing this rule, she took out the remittance voucher to the other party and went straight in. The stuff here is indeed more exquisite than the supply and marketing cooperative, and there are many more types, especially the service attitude is much better than that of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lin Lishan whispered to Xizi's opinion, "Shall we look at it from the first floor? Look at what you like, and grandma will buy it for you. You also help younger brothers and sisters to see what they like."
Xizi opened her eyes, looked at the many commodities around him curiously, and shook her head when she heard the words, "Grandma, you buy it yourself. I just came to follow you for a long time, and I didn’t plan to buy things. Look for yourself, I will follow you not to get lost. No more."
Lin Lishan touched his head and held his little hand. Knowing that the Zhang family is very careful in educating the children, she didn't ask him again, and planned to talk about all three-tier products.
The large first floor is full of non-staple food and some fine grains. The counter was circled and went around in a circle just to finish reading.
In the non-staple food area, there are rows of glass counters, all kinds of hard and soft candies of different colors and shapes, colorfully packed in glass jars.
There are also ordinary and exquisitely packaged pastries, gift boxes wrapped in red paper, neatly placed inside the counter, and the counter also carefully pastes the prices of all kinds.
The two innermost rows of counters are against the wall, and all are filled with bagged and filled milk powder, both domestically produced and imported. There are also some fillings of malted milk and brown sugar.
Not far from the stairs to the second floor, there is a long foreign goods counter opposite. Some foreign baguettes and brown breads are put in bamboo baskets in various ways. On the high shelf on the right side of the counter are chocolates of various flavors. Everything is quite complete. From Lin Lishan's eyes, this is an imitation of foreign furnishings.
Lin Lishan went around in a circle and knew that the Friendship Mall in each province was similar, giving priority to supplying overseas Chinese and earning foreign exchange. This pattern has been very advanced. Think of the SH big hotel, think of the dish for ordinary workers with half a month's salary. It is not surprising to see the furnishings here. The disparity between the rich and the poor has always existed since ancient times. Since the liquidation, all the capitalists and big landlords who have been cleaned up have been well-known. How many rich people can be hidden?
Just like the overseas Chinese, with a large number of foreign assets and extremely low domestic consumption levels, these are all invisible rich men. Nowadays, there is a relative in the family who is an overseas Chinese, and the family is not short of money or supplies. The living standard is much higher than that of the residents who can supply by ticket. I remembered that most of the overseas Chinese fled abroad with their domestic assets. The country suffered and escaped. Now the country is stable and they are given preferential treatment when they return. Lin Lishan scorned her heart.
Lin Lishan at this meeting would never think that it won't take long. In the near future, these people with overseas relations will encounter a catastrophe, which will either die or be injured. Many years later, Lin Lishan often lamented that life is unpredictable and things are unpredictable.
After visiting the first floor, Lin Lishan took Xizi's hand to the second floor. The second floor is full of daily necessities and daily necessities.
Several rows of counters are separated by red letters, which is clear at a glance.
Toiletries such as soap, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes are all neatly arranged. In the past, there were rows of textile counters. You could first see towels, handkerchiefs, pillow towels, etc., and then each counter was clearly classified. There are several counters for non-finished materials such as cloth and wool, as well as finished autumn clothes and long trousers, shoes, boots, coats and pants.
The innermost entry is women's supplies, such as bras, sanitary belts, and toilet paper, all in one place, and the instructions and prices are carefully posted on the top.
On the right side of the second floor, there are also a small amount of imported products such as iron pots, kitchen knives, shovel, tableware and other kitchen utensils. In the end, she looked at it and found that there were stoves, including electric stoves, briquettes stoves and alcohol stoves, as well as fashionable hot water bottles and copper hand stoves.
Lin Lishan took Xizi and asked the salesperson to take things. After taking the briquettes stove and the alcohol stove, she quickly ordered 5 hot water bottles and 2 hand stoves at this counter, which she used specifically for Zhou Jiao to take her children out.
Then I ordered a few bars of soap, a few toothbrushes and a few sticks of toothpaste to the counter one by one. Place them on the side of the counter, and tell the salesperson on the second floor to wait for the third floor to come down and settle the bill together.
He happily took Xizi's hand to the third floor. The third floor was full of large items such as household appliances, bicycles, and sewing machines. I saw that the price was cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative. Finally, she gave up the bicycle and bought a radio. She wanted to buy a bicycle, but Jiaojiao would definitely say it was a waste.
After returning to the second floor, he ran to get two pots, which were used for stewing tonics. I chose a set of beautiful celadon bowls and a set of purple clay pots. She really couldn't bear drinking and drinking tea using thick bowls, and thick bowls for everything, which greatly affected her appetite.
Thinking of Xiaoping'an, I bought several spoons and plastic bowls for babies, and then I bought some baby products. She worried that she would not have a holiday when she returned to Beijing to work, so she simply bought more at once.
Looking at the pile of things on the ground, I paid the purchase price directly on the second floor, and asked the salesperson to help pack it and move to the lower floor. Pile up things there, don't let Xizi guard it, let no one dare to steal, and can't get out of the gate. I didn't see that the customers were all placed randomly like her.
Lin Lishan was afraid that she would miss something, so she took Xizi to buy it from one counter to the other. She was so scared that Xizi winked at her. Lin Lishan was almost amused by the child, and the child emphasized that he did not like it.
"Don't worry, grandma has tickets and money. When you go back, remember to remind grandma to find someone in the military area and ask for military bags for you. I think many children like to carry large military bags when they go to school. Put the lunch box. You also have one whole, only one, so proud. Look at these pencils, are they pretty? You go back and distribute them to your brothers and sisters, one for each person."
"Grandma, the left and right and Shitou are still young, and the younger sisters don't need it. Auntie, please remove the pencil case." Xizi is very anxious, this grandma loves Huohuo things. He is really worried.
Lin Lishan took a tin box and grabbed a pencil, "Okay, then buy hair clips and rubber bands. The little girl likes these. Don't worry, the color of the supply and marketing agency is not so beautiful."
Lin Lishan picked more, this rubber band is very good, anyone can use it.
Then I went to the textile counter to see that the wool was not of interest. Knitting was exhausting. She was afraid that she would knit the sweater that Jiaojiao from her home. She trembled when she saw the wool in Jiaojiao's closet. Want it or not, the most frightening thing is that the color doesn't suit her. Finally, seeing the bright red and bright yellow, I nodded. This is a rare color that I want to buy. This color is only her daughter's size can set off, and it must be beautiful to wear.
Looking at the fabric next to Lin Lishan, she was immediately excited. The woolen material is very good, and the colors of gray and black are also beautiful. If you think about it with a big red or tender yellow sweater, her Jiaojiao will definitely like it. Secretly planned to make a set of Lening/Ning outfits for Jiaojiao and a coat for Xiaowu, so she asked for two horses and used them slowly.
Finally, I picked a few more pieces of other materials and bought a big bag of cotton before Lin Lishan reluctantly left.
No way, there are not a few clothes in Jiaojiao's cabinet in her house, and all of them are washed white or patched. Think about the clothes in the closet of a few nieces at home, and they always yell that there is no clothes to wear. She wants to move all the fabrics here, so that Jiaojiao will have one set a day.
Going back to the first floor and seeing these foods, she planned to prepare more for her daughter to eat, and occasionally a visitor would not sit and chat~EbookFREE.me~, she could also relieve her nephew and niece at home.
"Xizi, your little aunt has almost bought it. Then we went to buy some of those you like. The baguette-like bread is not delicious. Let's buy less and just have a taste."
In front of the dim sum and non-staple food counter, she looked at where Xizi Dian bought and where, and each weighed a catty. After choosing the dim sum and pastries, she weighed three catties of toffee and three catties of hard candies and packed them separately. The sugar cubes look quite varied, and look more high-end. Thinking that Jiaojiao hadn't eaten chocolate yet, it was so heavy that it was not much per catty, so she weighed two packs and bought some baguettes.
After all the money was settled, the 600 yuan remittance voucher brought was only 300 yuan. She brought enough money, but unfortunately there were not many remittance voucher. While wondering where to get the tickets, he pulled Xizi and carried things back. Fortunately, the staff inside helped deliver it to the car, otherwise she must be exhausted.
"Xizi, are you hungry? If we are hungry, we will eat back, and grandma will take you to eat delicious food."
"Grandma, let's go back, I'm afraid you will run inside again, oops, you moved it back home. Let's go back, I'm really not hungry."
Lin Lishan smiled and patted his little head, "Well, listen to our Xizi, first go back. We will think about what we want to buy in the evening. Tomorrow we will go to the supply and marketing agency here. The provincial capital is bigger than the county, and there must be more things. "
Xizi frowned, "There are already a lot, wait until my little aunt lacks anything to buy. This costs money, tomorrow we will see whether to buy, turn back my uncle has domestic sales, but it is much cheaper."
Lin Lishan laughed, and answered him as he drove, "Okay, we will see if we can buy it tomorrow. In the evening, grandma will take you to find children to see if there are many military bags.
