Military marriage: After not seeing each other for many years, it was painless to become a mother as soon as we met - Chapter 10

But before going to the Lu family, Gu Qingcheng went to the department store first.

After all, it was her future in-laws’ house, so she had to show some courtesy. She had to buy some gifts and couldn’t go empty-handed.

Of course, there were all kinds of snacks in her space, and she couldn’t finish them all, but the problem was that all those snacks had production dates on them.

To put it bluntly, if she gave these things away, what was the difference between that and committing suicide?

So it was more appropriate to buy them now in this era.

The department store was not far away, and it took Gu Qingcheng only ten minutes to walk there.

The building had a total of five floors. From the outside, it looked like a typical Chinese building, with six big characters hanging on the top floor.

The Imperial Capital Department Store was also one of the typical buildings in the imperial capital. From the outside, there were many pedestrians coming and going, and there were crowds of people.

Entering the building, the first floor mainly sold various snacks and side dishes, such as malted milk, bubble gum, and White Rabbit milk candy.

The second floor sold some cloth and clothes, and Dacron was sold on this floor.

The third floor sold daily necessities, such as hardware, scissors, kitchen knives, etc.

The fourth floor is for some large items, such as radios, watches, bicycles, etc.

The fifth floor is the office area, which is not open to ordinary people and cannot be accessed.

The prices seem to be gradually rising.

Gu Qingcheng saw a lot of snacks on the first floor. What caught her eye was the mushroom mountain of chocolate biscuits that she often saw in various period texts.

This kind of chocolate biscuit tastes very good. There are two layers of chocolate, one layer of milk chocolate and one layer of bittersweet chocolate. The length of the biscuit is not long, so when eating, you actually pay more attention to the taste of chocolate.

The manufacturer is located in the neighboring Sakura Country. It is not only popular abroad, but also has set off a wave of popularity in China.

Because it is an imported product, and the taste is really good, it is rare and expensive. It can be sold for four yuan per pound. It is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

Gu Qingcheng gritted her teeth and bought a pound.

When the salesperson saw that Gu Qingcheng was so decisive and bought something that cost a few yuan a pound, she hurriedly promoted it.

“Besides Mushroom Mountain, we also have Bamboo Shoot Township. The prices are about the same. Would you like to buy a pound? Mushroom Mountain and Bamboo Shoot Township are brother products!”

“Is this your first time buying Mushroom Mountain?”

“Yes.”

Gu Qingcheng felt something was wrong when she saw her endless sales pitch. She never liked to reject enthusiastic people, let alone such an enthusiastic beautiful sister.

“Hey, isn’t this a coincidence? When it comes to Mushroom Mountain and Bamboo Shoot Township, there are so many things to say. The two are both under the same factory, and the formulas are basically the same, there is no difference, but the key lies in the different ways of eating. Bamboo Shoot Township is a chocolate fusion school. When eating this snack, the chocolate is wrapped around the biscuit and eaten at the same time. The biscuit is paired with chocolate, which has a unique flavor.”

“Mushroom Mountain is just the opposite. When eating this snack, the chocolate and biscuit are tasted separately. Some people think that this taste is unique.” Gu Qingcheng was persuaded by both Mushroom Mountain and Bamboo Shoot Township: “Then get a pound of Bamboo Shoot Township as well.”

“Well, okay.”

The salesperson hurriedly said: “We also have Jianlibao here. There is a limit every day. The weather outside is so hot. You will faint if you don’t drink some water.”

It would have been better if she didn’t say it. When she said it, Gu Qingcheng instantly felt her throat dry. She didn’t know what was going on, but she suddenly wanted to drink.

“Then give me two bottles.”

“We also have canned sugar water…”

The salesperson was extremely enthusiastic. Gu Qingcheng seemed to have just woken up from a dream. If she continued to buy like this, her wallet would probably be empty today, and she wouldn’t even have enough money for the ticket to the Lu family.

She waved her hands quickly: “We don’t need anything at home for the time being, these are enough.”

“Okay, I’ll pack it for you.”

Although the salesperson likes to sell, she is also efficient at work, and she packed up everything in no time.

Gu Qingcheng took it in her hand. She didn’t even have a decent piece of clothing on her now, so she planned to go to the second floor to buy some Dacron or cloth to make herself a set of clothes of this era.

Who knew that before she could go out and just turned around, she was bumped by a child.

She staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Just as she frowned and was about to speak, a sharp voice sounded before her.

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you have eyes when you walk?”

“You bumped into our Tianbao.”

What a thief crying catch thief.

“It was your child who was naughty and bumped into me. My hands were full of stuff. I didn’t look for you first, but you blamed me first.”

Gu Qingcheng frowned and looked around. From a distance, she saw a woman with short hair walking towards her angrily.

She stared at the child lying on the ground, and her brows were furrowed even more. Why did she feel that this child looked so familiar?

She thought it was an illusion, but when the woman in the distance came over, she found that she was actually an acquaintance.

It was the stepsister of the original body, Gu Feifei.

Gu Feifei obviously also saw Gu Qingcheng and was stunned for a moment: “Gu Qingcheng? Why is it you? Why are you in the department store?”

Gu Qingcheng rolled his eyes: “What? The department store is yours? You can come but I can’t?”

Gu Feifei was frustrated and changed the subject: “I don’t care where you come, but you bumped into Tianbao today, and the child couldn’t stand the bump. You must compensate me.”

At this time, Tianbao also cooperated very well and cried at the top of his voice: “Wuuu, Mom, my eyes hurt, my legs hurt, my waist hurts, my whole body hurts.”

Gu Feifei raised her eyebrows proudly: “Did you see it? This child is our treasure. I can’t bear to hit him or scold him. Today, he is hit by you and his whole body is in pain. Since you are the child’s aunt, you can give him ten yuan. I will take the child to do a check-up. After the check-up, I will buy him some nutritional supplements. Let’s just forget about it.”

Gu Qingcheng was almost stunned.

“I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen such a shameless person. Gu Feifei, you’re looking for trouble in the street. You’re a habitual offender.”

“And you, Fatty, you’re lying at such a young age. You bumped into me just now, and you sat down on the ground after the bump. Your eyes didn’t even touch the ground. Why do you feel pain all over? Are you talking nonsense with your mouth open?”

Gu Feifei was hit on the heart. She and Tianbao did do this kind of thing again and again. Whenever they were free or had time, they would go to the major department stores and parks in the imperial capital, looking for rich people, bumping into them, and then blaming them, extorting about five to eight yuan each time.

Tianbao observed for a long time and saw that Gu Qingcheng actually bought so many snacks. He originally thought that she must be rich, so this happened.

But he didn’t expect that he would really hit the wall this time.

Gu Qingcheng clenched his hands, and said in a dignified manner: “Gu Feifei, listen to me carefully. You want to reach into my bag to take money? There is no way I can get a penny.”

“Today’s money, not only will I not give you a penny, I will also report it to the police and have them arrest you.”
