Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 216 215 Buying a Car

The second day of the fifth lunar month, the second day after Tang Zhitong came back, was Sunday.

After breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Tang Zhitong took their two younger sisters to the clothing store to pick up clothes. By the way, Tang Zhitong took measurements to make a shirt.

The clothing store is on Flower Market Street, not far from Tang's house. The two adults held each other's hands and arrived in a short time.

The clothing store itself is not big, and the walls are covered with fabrics and ready-to-pick-up clothes. It gives people a cramped feeling when entering.

Picking up the goods went smoothly. Wang Jingwen handed over the pickup list. The clerk looked at the list and dug through the pile of clothes. He found the finished clothes and the remaining rags, tied the clothes together with rag strips and handed them to Wang Jingwen. .

"Is there a fitting room? If it doesn't fit, I can change it." Tang Zhitong asked the clerk.

"Here." The clerk quickly hung up the curtain behind him to form a simple enclosed space, which could be completely exposed at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Forget it, let's go home and try again. It's not far anyway." There were other male customers in the store. Wang Jingwen looked at the fitting room and said to Tang Zhitong.

"Sister-in-law, I want to try, I want to try!" Fengzhi is a child at heart and can't wait to wear new clothes.

"Okay, go ahead. Fengzhen, do you want to put them on together?" Wang Jingwen untied the knots tied by the clerk and found the clothes of the two sisters-in-law.

"Yeah." Fengzhen didn't say much. After all, she was a little girl and looked forward to wearing new clothes.

"Please measure him and make a short-sleeved shirt." Wang Jingwen handed the two pieces of clothing to her sister-in-law, put the white fabric in her hand on the counter, pointed at Tang Zhitong and told the clerk.

"Do you have any requirements?" The clerk took a tape measure and stepped forward to measure Tang Zhitong's shoulder width and other data skillfully.

"Be a little looser and don't stick to your body." Tang Zhitong said. It was uncomfortable to stick to your body due to sweating. Besides, I was starving. A looser fit could hide the flesh on my body.

"Okay." The clerk measured the data, wrote it down in a notebook, and opened the fabric to check. After making sure it was enough to make a shirt, he placed an order and charged.

"Sister-in-law! Doesn't it look good?" As soon as they finished, Fengzhen and Fengzhi came out of the simple fitting room wearing the same floral dress.

"So beautiful!" Wang Jingwen praised.

"It's quite pretty. Did you make the skirt too?" Tang Zhitong glanced at the two sisters and asked Wang Jingwen. He had never seen classmate Xiao Wang wearing a skirt.

"It's not convenient to wear a skirt while riding a shirt." Wang Jingwen smiled sweetly at Tang Zhitong and explained.

"Yes." Tang Zhitong nodded. The 28-bar bike that Xiao Wang rode was really inconvenient. It would be better if it were a low-beam 26 bike.

"Okay, let's go home. We still have to buy a bicycle." Xiao Wang packed up the clothes and the remaining scraps and said.

"Let's go." Tang Zhitong nodded. After a while, another customer came to the clothing store. The already cramped space became even more crowded. He didn't wear much in summer. Xiao Wang felt uncomfortable when someone rubbed against him.

From the time she came out of the clothing store until she got home, Fengzhi didn't stop chatting with Wang Jingwen. The dress is one size larger, but precisely because it is a skirt, it does not look out of place when worn.

"Mom, I have to dress for school tomorrow!" After arriving home, Fengzhi turned around in a circle in front of Zhang Guifang and said excitedly to her mother.

"Okay, wear them. Later I will make a pair of sandals out of rags for you and Fengzhen to wear together." Zhang Guifang was also happy, and these days became more and more comfortable. "Yeah! Yeah! Mom is the best!" When her mother said this, Fengzhi wished she could jump three feet high. Fengzhen was more reserved and just kept smiling.

"Mom, you can try it too." Wang Jingwen picked out Zhang Guifang's and her own clothes, and put the remaining rags on the table for her mother-in-law to use for making cloth boards and sewing clothes.

"Okay, okay, you guys should go back and try it on to see if it fits." Zhang Guifang held the clothes and smiled from ear to ear.

Wang Jingwen took Tang Zhitong back to the wing and closed the curtains in the bedroom to change clothes. Tang Zhitong leaned against the wall and just watched Xiao Wang changing clothes with a smile. It was so white...

"Does it look good?" After half a year of baptism, Xiao Wang, who was rarely shy, put on his clothes, flipped up his hair, and asked with a wink at Tang Zhitong.

"It looks good." Tang Zhitong agreed. The reason why he chose this color checkered fabric was because it didn't look old-fashioned and didn't leak light.

"Then dress like this. Let's go buy a bicycle now?" Wang Jingwen was also very satisfied. The clothes were loose but not bulky, and the two rabbits were not so conspicuous.

"Well, you take the money, and I'll get some dried fruits." Tang Zhitong tugged on Xiao Wang's clothes, straightened the pleats, and said.

Zhang Guifang has changed into clothes. They fit well and the style is better than the previous clothes. She looks several years younger. In fact, Zhang Guifang is not very old, less than 40. She just works too much for this family and looks older. .

After hearing that Tang Zhitong was going to Yue's house, Zhang Guifang found a bag and filled it with all kinds of dried fruits.

Because they had to buy two bicycles at a time, Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingwen did not ride bicycles this time.

Bicycle sales in Forty-Nine City are now under the direct control of the Transportation and Electrical Equipment Department, which is responsible for the distribution of retail sales in the city. Among them, retail stores are allocated with priority, with Wangfujing Department Store and six major shopping malls in the suburbs taking special care.

Bicycles are now a valuable asset of the family, a commuting tool, and a production tool. Therefore, the 28-inch large bars, known for their load-carrying capacity, are the focus of production of each unit, and the 26-type bicycles are less common.

Most of the consumer groups faced by 26-type bicycles are women, and women prefer to go to shopping malls when choosing such large items. Even Wang Jingwen is not immune.

The joint bicycle shop on the street actually sells bicycles. When Tang Zhitong passed by, he went in and took a look. Wang Jingwen pulled out the 28-inch large bar. She had no intention of buying a bicycle from here, so she bought a women's bicycle. I still have to go to the mall.

In order to prevent Tang Zhitong from wandering around, Wang Jingwen even took a bus halfway to Wangfujing Department Store.

This is Tang Zhitong’s second visit to Wangfujing Department Store. The last time was when classmate Xiao Wang bought him a watch. There were all kinds of products here, but there were also a lot of people.

Fortunately, the bicycle store is on the first floor. Maybe the mall considers it to be convenient for transportation.

Wangfujing Department Store claims that "if you can't buy it here, you can't buy it anywhere else." Wang Jingwen firmly believes this.

The two of them didn't even see a bicycle when they entered. There were too many people watching. One person bought it, and ten people watched it.

There were few people buying, but many people watching the excitement, mostly old men. Wang Jingwen was in trouble, how could he watch the car?

　I wish you all: Happy New Year! In good health! Happy family!
