Chapter 32: Facing Danger of Destruction

Shi Guixiang just glanced at her eldest granddaughter and said nothing.

Gu Bin, on the other hand, was very excited: "Okay, okay."

He has never bought anything in a department store in his life.

Looking at his cousin who was laughing so silly, Gu Wan felt warm in his heart.

Everyone in her family is very nice to her, and she actually wants to give them some gifts.

But she didn't know the importance of things, and didn't know what gifts to give to her elders. She did see a pair of white Warrior shoes suitable for this era in the system mall.

The price was right, but, since she had so many brothers, Gu Wan didn't know how to come up with six pairs of Warrior shoes at once.

You know, Huili shoes are a classic in this era, and ordinary people may not be able to buy them even if they have money.

Okay, today I will “buy” a pair for Gu Bin and my two brothers.

As for the other brothers, I'm sorry, she can't treat them equally for the time being.

It was only after entering the department store that Gu Wan realized that if she wanted to buy cloth to make her own cotton-padded clothes and pants, she would have to buy cotton, but she did not have a cotton ticket.

I was really shocked. Cotton tickets. Did you need special tickets to buy anything in the 1960s and 1970s?

Then reality told Gu Wan that this was the case!

Gu Wan directly said to the salesperson: "Sister, can I buy two sets of cotton coats and pants?"

Will off-season clothes be out of stock?
It turned out that the product was not out of stock. The salesperson told her directly: "A set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers will cost you five yuan and eight feet of cloth coupons."

For a moment, Gu Wan was stunned.

When she saw the contents of the gift box, she thought she was very rich;

Reality gave her a hard slap in the face. Not to mention sixteen feet of cloth coupons, she could only take out five feet at most.

After all, Gu Wan had read many novels, and especially knew how the heroines shined in those period novels, so he also knew some of the methods.

So she asked directly: "Big sister, I have some national grain coupons and meat coupons. Can I exchange them for cloth coupons?"

Hearing this, the saleswoman looked at Gu Wan with a rare respect, but she just said with a fake smile: "I don't have so many cloth coupons."

But then she said, "But I can give up some defective cloth for free."

Gu Wan's eyes flickered, and he understood what this elder sister meant.

The so-called defective cloth is often consumed by staff inside department stores or supply and marketing cooperatives, and may not have any major defects.

Without a certain level of financial resources and connections, people from outside cannot buy it.

After hearing what the salesperson said, Shi Guixiang was also very moved, and told Gu Wan that her second aunt was very good at needlework.

So the salesperson said that she had exactly ten feet of defective cloth that didn't require a ticket, and that she could use it to make two sets of clothes.

To express his gratitude, Gu Wanhui gave her two meat coupons, two grain coupons and one sugar coupon.

These things couldn't be displayed in public, so the salesperson who called herself "Sister Wu" took them to the warehouse and found a piece of white cotton cloth for them.

It was about ten feet long, and although it was called defective cloth, it actually only had a small black mark on it.

It was probably accidentally stained by other pigments when the cloth was being dyed.

Even Shi Guixiang's eyes lit up when she saw it. If she wasn't an insider of the county department store, she wouldn't be able to buy such good defective cloth.

"Sister Wu, I also want to buy sweaters and coats and the like. Of course, summer clothes are fine too. No matter for men or women, I can accept them." Sister Wu was stunned. From the tone of her voice, it was hard to tell where this rich person came from.

But looking at their clothes and appearance, they are obviously very ordinary. However, to be able to work as a salesperson in a department store from a supply and marketing cooperative, Sister Wu must have good vision.

She also knows that there is a saying that goes "Don't judge a book by its cover".

This person should be worth making friends with, so Sister Wu told Gu Wan that her share for this month had been used up and she could spare some for her good sister next month.

In just a short while, the relationship between Gu Wan and Sister Wu has been sublimated, and the two are like half-sisters.

"Okay, I'll come see you next month, thank you, sister."

When Gu Wan left, he stuffed a handful of candies and five braised eggs into Sister Wu's pocket and put them together in a bag so that no one could see them.

Sister Wu smiled slightly, she had recognized the right sister.

Shi Guixiang came out of the department store holding a ten-foot defective cloth and looked at her eldest granddaughter with a smile, and her love for her increased a lot.

You have to know that they, the country girls, could hardly save up one or two feet of cloth coupons in a year, but this time they could buy so many at one time with their eldest granddaughter.

What was even more shocking was Gu Bin, who received a gift, a pair of white Warrior shoes.

"New shoes, or Warrior shoes?" Gu Bin's eyes widened, mainly in disbelief.

You know, not only in their village, but in the entire commune, there are few boys wearing Huili shoes.

What he was holding in his hands now was a pair of brand new white Warrior shoes that he had never worn or seen before.

Shi Guixiang narrowed her eyes and began to understand what her granddaughter had been whispering to the salesperson just now.

But I also feel a little sorry for him, silly child, who didn’t know to save the money for self-defense.

Gu Wan asked Gu Bin to change his shoes. Gu Bin was a little excited because these shoes were different from the cloth shoes and straw sandals he had worn before, with his toes exposed.

"It's just a pity that there is only this pair."

Gu Bin was still grinning, "It's okay, my brothers and I have similar feet, so we can take turns wearing them."

He is quite magnanimous. Wearing Huili shoes, Gu Bin has taken a step without recognizing any relatives.

It was simply unbearable to watch. Shi Guixiang was too lazy to pay attention to her eldest grandson who was eye-catching, and she just leaned over to whisper in her granddaughter's ear:
"Silly girl, you don't have to buy him such a good one."

"It's okay, grandma, you are all my relatives. As long as I have it, I hope everyone can have it together."

Gu Wan wasn't being pretentious, she said this sincerely.

Even though her previous family in later lives might be richer financially, the family affection between them could not be as strong as that of Gu's family.

At the same time, two different mechanical sounds sounded in the ears of Gu Wan and Qin Shiman respectively:

[Congratulations to the host for successfully maintaining 100 points of luck again. The host's red envelope group service function will be further improved, and you will also get the rewards you deserve. As your luck improves, others will have a corresponding backlash effect. ]

[Strategy System: You have failed to complete the mission again. This system has decided to punish the host. At the same time, it warns the host that if you fail the mission too many times, you may face the danger of destruction.]

Because he had no contact with Qin Shiman, Gu Wan could not hear the sound of the strategy system on her side.

But based on the feedback from my side, I can imagine that Qin Shiman is not having an easy time now.

Gu Wan smiled slightly, and there was also that big silly Qi Yuanhang;

Humph, she will definitely get back what they owed the original owner!
