Chapter 97 Decisive Decision
The couple was chatting animatedly when they heard Chu Qinghe's voice from downstairs, "Brother, sister-in-law, come down quickly, we are ready."

Chu Qingjiang quickly pulled Song Wanrou out the door and shouted downstairs, "I'm coming!"

He locked the door again.

Although there are surveillance systems installed inside and outside this courtyard, he still hopes to do a good job of defense to prevent anyone from breaking in.

The second floor where they live has a lot of spare cash and treasures, so they'd better be careful when going in and out.

He also reminded Song Wanrou of this.

The two of them went downstairs, and Chu Qingjiang asked his brother, "Have they all gone out to catch the bus?"

He had just instructed Wang Yi to drive the bus first and wait for them at the gate.

Chu Qinghe smiled and nodded, "Well, everyone is in the car, brother and sister-in-law, only you two are missing."

"Let's go then!"

Chu Qingjiang held Song Wanrou's hand and asked the system to confirm that no one was at home. Then he locked the gate of the courtyard.

The bus carrying them all soon arrived at the Capital Department Store.

Beijing Department Store, also known as Wangfujing Department Store, is located on Wangfujing Street.

It opened in September 1955, with a construction area of ​​9 square meters, which was very remarkable in that era, so the Beijing Department Store was also known as "the first store in China". ①
The Capital Department Store had the purchasing power of the whole country at that time, and it was also the department store with the most complete and newest goods in the country.

This place not only attracts local people from Beijing to come shopping, but also many people from other places who come to Beijing on business or for pleasure. This is also a must-visit place for them to purchase things or specialties.

They got out of the car and, led by Chu Qingjiang and Song Wanrou, walked into this nationally famous department store.

“There are so many people here!”

The old branch secretary and the Song family had seen many tall buildings when they were visiting the capital.

But when I really walked in here, it was like discovering a new world, full of novelty, and I felt excited and thrilled.

Uncle Song kept exclaiming, "This building is so tall!"

"It's so big here!"

Chu Qinghe, who was standing beside him, acted as a commentator for him and everyone else.

"This Beijing Department Store has a total of nine floors, six above ground and three underground. It has the largest and most complete range of goods in the country."

Although the department store is spacious and bright, there are also a lot of people.

Many people come here, not to buy things, but just to see the hustle and bustle of this nationally famous department store and broaden their horizons.

Chu Qingjiang, Song Wanrou and their group walked around the building, buying a lot of special products from Beijing, which they prepared to bring back to their second uncle Song, third uncle Song and the old village chief.

After strolling around the streets, Chu Qingjiang bought a lot of things. The way he spent money lavishly really scared the old branch secretary and others.

After finishing the meal, when Chu Qingjiang asked the old branch secretary and the others if they wanted to go somewhere else, they all shook their heads and said, "No, no, let's go home!"

They were afraid that if they continued shopping, Chu Qingjiang would go on shopping again.

Chu Qingjiang thought that they were going back to their hometown tomorrow, so he agreed to their wishes and took them back to the courtyard.

When they returned to the courtyard, Chu Qingjiang distributed the special products he bought today. In addition to the special products, he also gave the old branch secretary, Uncle Song and Uncle Song's family a TV, a box of Maotai, and two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes.

Song Wanhua's family also wanted to go back together, but the gifts they brought were only a box of Moutai, two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, and a bunch of local specialties.

As for the TV, Chu Qingjiang also told them, "Second sister, when you move to your new home in Beijing, I will give you another color TV."

Song Wanhua and Chen Lifeng quickly said, "No need, Qingjiang, what you've given us now is enough, really enough, we would be embarrassed if we gave us more."

Song Wanhua and Chen Lifeng had already given Chu Qingjiang a promissory note for the purchase of the courtyard house.

They also specifically said, "Qingjiang, thank you and Rourou so much. Our family will pay back the money as soon as possible."

Chu Qingjiang said it didn't matter, but they still had to insist, so Chu Qingjiang didn't say anything more.

Hearing them refusing again, Chu Qingjiang smiled and advised them, "Sister, brother-in-law, when my parents and eldest brother moved to their new home, Wanrou and I also gave them a lot of gifts. We can't be partial to one of you and treat you differently. It's better for everyone to have something together!"

Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Song Wanhua had no choice but to let him go.

They will always repay these favors.

It's just that their sister and brother-in-law have given them so much, and they feel a little pressured, always afraid that they can't repay their kindness.

After dinner in the evening, the eldest cousin Song Wanlan quietly found Song Wanrou, "Xiaorou, I also want to stay in Beijing to work, is that okay?"

Song Wanrou looked at her in surprise, "Sister, aren't you getting married soon? You still want to stay? Don't you have to go back to prepare for the wedding?"

Song Wanlan nodded firmly. "I have been staying in Beijing for a while. I have gained some experience and figured it out. If I want to develop and make money, I have to stay in Beijing."

"If I can stay here and work, I will have the opportunity to bring Wu Lei out to work in the future."

"As long as we work harder, maybe we can stay in Beijing like you and give our children a good environment and life."

"Xiao Rou, can you help me find a job? Don't worry, I will remember your help and repay you!"

Song Wanrou understood Song Wanlan's thoughts very well.

She was somewhat surprised that Song Wanlan could make such a decisive decision when she was about to get married.

Song Wanrou admired Song Wanlan's decisiveness.

She also said to Song Wanlan: "Sister, what are you talking about repaying? It's just a job. I'll take care of it. If you want to stay, then stay. You can go to the factory with Jianzhong, Jianhua, Jianjun and others, or work as a salesperson."

Song Wanlan said without hesitation: “Xiao Rou, I want to be a salesperson.”

Salesperson is one of the most prestigious jobs in this era and also one of the most popular jobs among women.

Song Wanrou also agreed, "Okay, then you can be a salesperson. It happens that after the Chinese New Year, our family will open a store. Then you can be a clerk. If you do a good job, you will definitely be promoted to store manager soon. Sister, you have to work hard!"

All the children in the Song family are good-looking and have good figures, making them the best candidates to be sales clerks.

For example, my eldest cousin Song Wanlan is beautiful and dignified, has a good figure, is gentle and generous, and is not timid when meeting strangers.

If you recruit workers outside, you may not be able to find a clerk as suitable as my eldest cousin.
