Chapter 139 What do you mean by wandering ghosts? As long as he is forever her superhero!
Each sailor shirt costs five dollars and fifty-eight cents.
In early 1983, the government officially abolished cloth ration coupons and stopped restricting the purchase of cloth. This marked a complete solution to everyone's clothing problem, and people had more freedom and convenience when buying clothes.
"Ah Ling, wait for me here, I'm going to the toilet."
Huang Ling nodded: "We'll wait here, hurry back! Does Chao Ying need any tissues? I brought some in my bag!"
Zhuang Chaoying waved her hand. "Small size, not large size!"
It's much more convenient to pee now; you don't need to use toilet paper to wipe.
After leaving Huang Ling and the children's sight, Zhuang Chaoying went straight to the gold counter.
"Hello comrade, how much does gold cost per gram now?"
The saleswoman stopped sorting through the receipts and looked up. After a brief glance, she answered unhurriedly, "Twenty-one yuan and thirty-six cents."
Zhuang Chaoying heard this price.
[System, I remember the gold bars I redeemed last time were over forty yuan per gram, how come they're so cheap now?]
[Host, gold prices have been declining for the past two years, and the economy has entered a period of high growth and low inflation, indicating that gold has entered a bear market.]
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the saleswoman became impatient and raised her voice to urge him: "Sir, are you going to buy it or not? If not, move aside and don't bother the other customers!"
Zhuang Chaoying was pulled back to reality by the sudden reprimand. She came to her senses and asked, "Buy it, buy it! How many grams does this bracelet weigh?"
The saleswoman rolled her eyes at him, muttered something under her breath, then reluctantly picked up the bracelet, weighed it on the scale, and started calculating on the abacus. "This weighs thirty grams."
Without looking up, she rapidly moved her fingers across the abacus. "The price is six hundred and forty-eight cents."
Zhuang Chaoying nodded immediately: "This is it!"
He reached into his briefcase, seemingly rummaging around inside, but actually quickly took out 650 yuan from the system shelf.
A moment later, he took out the money and handed it to the cashier: "Thank you for your help, sir."
The sales clerk took the money, counted it carefully, and then looked up: "Sir, do you have any change of eight mao?"
Zhuang Chaoying quickly felt her pockets, frantically rummaging through them with her fingers, and soon found a few small bills.
He took the ten yuan back, accepted the invoice from the salesperson, put the gold bracelet into his briefcase, and zipped it up.
Then he turned around and rushed back to where Huang Ling and the children were without stopping.
Huang Ling and the children are each eating a popsicle.
"Ah Ling, I'm back!"
Huang Ling handed over the popsicle. "Have a popsicle to quench your thirst."
He took the popsicle that Ah Ling had only half-eaten and ate it in a few bites.
The family boarded the train and, amidst its roar, returned to Suzhou.
As soon as they arrived at Song Ying's house, Song Ying's gaze fell on the three children, each holding a sailor shirt: "Dongzhe, look at you, you made Aunt Huang buy you clothes for this trip, Sister Ling, you've gone to so much trouble!"
Excuse me, I gently tugged at Dongzhe's sleeve.
Huang Ling quickly waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind buying it for Dongzhe."
Song Ying was touched, her eyes slightly red. "Sister Ling, what can I say? I'm so embarrassed."
Huang Ling smiled at Song Ying and said playfully, "Then you cook tomorrow, and I'll take a break, okay?"
Song Ying nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll cook something delicious for everyone tomorrow!"
After dinner, the children all ran to Song Ying's house to watch TV, since the TV for the new house hadn't been moved over yet.
Huang Ling picked up a broom and began to clean the house diligently.
Zhuang Chaoying, on the other hand, acted like an old man, holding his "get-out-of-jail-free card" and eating oranges.
As he ate, he carelessly tossed the orange peels on the ground, completely disregarding the floor that Huang Ling had just painstakingly cleaned.
Huang Ling had just finished sweeping the floor when she looked up and saw the orange peels on the ground, and she immediately became furious.
Hands on hips: "Zhuang Chaoying, what are you doing? Pick it up right now!"
Zhuang Chaoying then threw a piece of orange peel on the ground, a smug smile on her face.
Huang Ling's voice rose eight octaves, her eyes widening. "Zhuang Chaoying! Are you going to pick it up or not!"
Zhuang Chaoying not only didn't restrain herself, but instead raised her head and spat the orange seeds out of her mouth onto the ground. Her arrogant demeanor was infuriating to behold.
Huang Ling was thoroughly angered by Zhuang Chaoying this time.
She couldn't hold back any longer and threw the broom at Zhuang Chaoying.
Zhuang Chaoying didn't expect Huang Ling to actually make a move. She couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely on the head by a broom.
He groaned and rubbed his head, then swiftly grabbed Ah Ling's hand to prevent her from making any further moves. While Huang Ling was still angry, he slipped the gold bracelet onto her wrist.
Huang Ling felt a chill on her wrist. Looking down, she saw a glittering gold bracelet on her wrist.
She was stunned and excitedly covered her mouth, screaming "Ahhh!"
It took her a while to come to her senses, and she suddenly remembered that the broom had hit Chaoying on the head. "Chaoying, I was rude just now. Are you alright? Does your head still hurt?"
He was a completely different person from when he was angry.
Zhuang Chaoying sat in the chair, leaning back slightly, pouting: "I need comforting."
Huang Ling's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced outside and walked over to Zhuang Chaoying's side.
She cupped his face in her hands.
Then, she quickly kissed him on the forehead. "Chao Ying, are you feeling better?"
"It still hurts a little!"
Huang Ling kissed her again.
Zhuang Chaoying gave a satisfied "hmm," then reached out and pulled Ah Ling close, wrapping her arms around Ah Ling's waist. "Much better, do you like it?" "My allowance has increased, it's forty-eight a month now. Plus the money left over from buying the TV last time, and what I usually save, Ah Ling, you don't know, the price of gold is cheap, only twenty-one yuan. There's no point in keeping the money, I might as well buy you a bracelet."
Huang Ling listened quietly to Zhuang Chaoying's words, her heart filled with happiness.
She felt as if she were living in a beautiful dream, so wonderful that it seemed unreal.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, recalling the question Chao Ying had asked her last year: what if he wasn't Chao Ying? This thought made her heart tremble slightly.
Huang Ling held Chao Ying's head, her fingers unconsciously stroking his hair.
What to do? She had a feeling that he wasn't the Chao Ying she used to know. The Chao Ying of the past wouldn't have been so good to her, wouldn't have protected her so carefully, and wouldn't have cared so much for the children.
However, Chao Ying now makes her feel a warmth and happiness she has never felt before, and she has unknowingly fallen in love with him.
Who cares? Even if some wandering ghost lives in Chao Ying's body, as long as she doesn't leave!
As long as he remains her superhero forever!
"Chaoying, you're so good to me. Suddenly I'm scared, scared of losing you."
Zhuang Chaoying sensed Huang Ling's unease and rested her face against Huang Ling's chest, listening to her heartbeat. "I won't leave!"
The two lingered like that for a while before Zhuang Chaoying reluctantly let go of Huang Ling.
I stood up, picked up the broom, and started sweeping up the orange peels on the ground.
Huang Ling sat in the chair, looking at the bracelet on her wrist, grinning foolishly. "Chao Ying, isn't this too flashy? Maybe I should just put it away."
After sweeping the floor, Zhuang Chaoying sat down next to A-Ling. "Let's put it away, we can wear it in winter, haha!"
Huang Ling gently shook her wrist. "You can't see it at all in winter!"
