Chapter 146 I will overcome
The second floor is different from the first floor.

Most of the people standing at the counter on the first floor were lesbians, and the items they bought were relatively scattered.

The people at the counter on the second floor are all gay men, and the accessories and utensils they sell are more construction-oriented.

For example, the three things needed for marriage: a new car, a sewing machine, a radio, a watch, etc.

There is also a period-specific big-butt TV set.

Fu Jingyou knew his current strength. He didn't go over to watch the TV. He only asked the gay men who were buying ready-made clothes:
"What kind of material is this? It looks very warm. How do you sell it?"

"Hey, you have good eyesight, comrade. This batch of material just came from Shanghai on a big ship half a month ago. It's called cashmere. It's warm!"

Fu Jingyou was dressed simply, and the male salesperson at the counter did not look down upon him. He introduced him to him enthusiastically like he was chatting:

"It's going to get cold soon. Use this kind of material to make clothes. It's just right!"

"Then how do you sell this material? Can you let me touch it?"

"This material is not cheap. It costs one dollar and a half per foot. Comrade, think about it. If you really want to buy it, I will pick out a dark one and show it to you!"

At one dollar and fifty cents per foot, the price is really not cheap.

The price of two feet is enough to buy five feet of the above-mentioned cotton cloth.

Fu Jingyou thought for a moment, silently calculated the remaining money in his pocket, and nodded seriously:

"Excuse me, comrade, please take it down and let me see!"

The male salesperson laughed "Hey" and took out two pieces of cashmere fabric, one camel and one black, to show to Fu Jingyou.

They were all married to wives. When the male salesman saw Fu Jingyou's dress, he knew that he was definitely not buying it for himself, so he said:
"Comrade, let me tell you the truth, cashmere fabrics keep you warm, but they also need to be carefully taken care of. We villagers cannot wear white colors. You can buy any of these two colors for your wife to wear. That's right! "

Fu Jingyou touched the cashmere fabric and recognized it from the bottom of her heart.

It's such a soft material, and the moment you put your palms against it, you seem to feel warmth.

Fu Jingyou couldn't put it down and wanted to buy it for Lu Miao. He believed whatever the male salesperson said:
"Okay, how many feet does it take to make a dress of this material? Calculate it according to the girl's body shape?"

"The width of this material is 1.5 meters. According to the girl's physique, if you make a gown with three feet, there should be some leftover."

Fu Jingyou nodded thoughtfully and took a fancy to the military coat on the shelf.

He pointed and asked: "Then how do you sell that military coat?"

The male salesman held a homemade clothes pole and tremblingly took off the military coat and showed it to him.

"This one weighs eight pounds, and it's actually stuffed with cotton. Not to mention us in the south, many families in the north who have the conditions rely on this to survive the winter! Comrade, feel it and see..."

When Fu Jingyou touched the military coat, the male salesperson smiled and said:
"But this is really not cheap. It costs 130 yuan for this outfit. In addition, a foreign exchange coupon is required."

One hundred and three...

Fu Jingyou's eyes dimmed for a moment and he couldn't take it out for the time being.

The male salesperson noticed his embarrassment and smiled casually:
"It's okay, I can't afford it either..."

It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it, we can enjoy the good things together, right?

"No one in a small place like ours can afford it, but having said that, if you touch it, this is really a good thing! You can even use it as a cover when you take it home at night!"

Fu Jingyou smiled and nodded.

130 block...

He can't get it now, but if he works hard, he might be able to get it.

Such a big piece is so big and thick that it can almost cover his calf when he wears it.

If Lu Miao wore it, he could wrap up his whole body in winter.

"Are there many military coats like this?"

"Not many. As far as I know, there are only two in our county."

Although a small place is poor, is it possible that there are people who are hiding their wealth and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy good things?

There were only two sets of military coats in the entire county. For various reasons, Fu Jingyou was too embarrassed to ask anyone to keep them.Returning the military coat, Fu Jingyou patted the neglected cashmere material aside:
"I'll take the six-foot one first."

Six feet of cashmere cloth costs nine yuan, and an additional six feet of cloth is required, which is not a small amount.

The male salesperson smiled sincerely and neatly gave him the best materials, rolled them up and folded them together.

There was Fu Jingyou's snakeskin bag on the counter. He packed the fabric in the snakeskin bag and gave it directly to Fu Jingyou.

"Comrade, walk slowly and come back next time if you need us!"

"Thank you!"

Fu Jingyou left with large and small bags, all the money on him was spent, and there was only two cents left in his pocket.

He bought two dry biscuits at the county state-owned restaurant for four cents and ate them while walking.

Fu Jingyou always borrowed the team leader's bicycle before going out, and Fu Jingyou was a little embarrassed.

This time I got up early in the morning and walked here. I bought everything at noon and started to turn back. After more than 30 kilometers of journey, it was completely dark when I got home.

The curtains in the room on the left side of the house were closed, and a vague light could still be seen. Lu Miao was not asleep yet.

Fu Jingyou stood outside the door and called: "Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

There was a sudden noise outside the door, and Lu Miao inside the room was startled.

Recognizing Fu Jingyou's low and hoarse voice, she blushed slightly and came out to open the door with a light:
"Why are you screaming like that all of a sudden?"

"What's it called?"

"She's just a wife or something...don't be ashamed!"

Usually called Lu Miao, Miaomiao, Lu Miao can still accept it.

Being called daughter-in-law by Fu Jingyou, Lu Miao felt inexplicably shy for some reason.

Fu Jingyou smiled teasingly: "But it's not wrong."

Lu Miao whispered "hum" and opened the door wide.

When Fu Jingyou walked into the main room, she realized that he had taken a lot of things with him, so she quickly put down the kerosene lamp and went up to pick it up.

"Why did you buy so many things?"

"They will all be used."

Fu Jingyou staggered slightly to avoid Lu Miao's hand, and directly carried the things to the room.

Lu Miao picked up the lamp again and followed him into the room.

The room was twenty square meters, and apart from the bed there was a long counter at the end of the bed, and under the wall close to the window, there was a long cabinet table that looked similar to a computer table.

There weren't many things, so it seemed empty and the room seemed larger.

Fu Jingyou put the things on the long table by the window and asked casually:

"What did you do at home today?"

"I didn't do anything else. I learned how to cook from my aunt... I found out that my aunt raised silkworms, so I took some cocoons to play with."

Lu Miao set up the lamp and took out a few swollen balls and handed them to him.

"I said I also wanted to raise silkworms, but my aunt said I couldn't raise them this year and would have to wait until obviously March or April. She asked me to fumble around and extract the silk from these cocoons first."

Fu Jingyou paused and looked at her:
"Have you ever seen a silkworm?"

"... seen."

I have never seen real silkworms, but I have seen them on TV before.

Fu Jingyou asked: "Aren't you afraid of soft insects?"

Lu Miao pouted slightly, "I will try to overcome it!"
