Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 678: Visiting the Friendship Store

Early that morning, there was a blanket of white snow outside the courtyard. The branches of the trees were bent, and the base of the wall was piled with snow. It all looks like a fairy tale world.

Jiang Yan put on thermal underwear and a wool sweater, and woke up Jiang Sirui who was still sleeping.

"Don't you want to buy a coat? Let's go shopping today."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Jiang Sirui jumped out of bed excitedly, quickly put on her clothes, went next door to see the two little guys in her home, told Aunt Yang, cleaned up after herself, and walked out. bedroom.

At the door, Jiang Yan put on his American short coat, and Jiang Sirui also put on a red cotton-padded jacket and scarf. After tidying up, the two left their house.

"We are going shopping today to buy new year's goods. We won't take the car. Let's walk there." Jiang Yan said to Jiang Sirui

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Sirui happily agreed.

The two of them walked out of the courtyard gate and walked through the snow-covered streets of the capital city.

Pedestrians on the road were all wrapped in thick cotton coats, their cheeks flushed from the cold, and everyone was walking in a hurry, either going to buy new year's goods or going home to reunite with their families.

"After studying, let's go check out the candy section over there!" Jiang Sirui pointed to the colorful candy counter not far away, his eyes twinkling.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look." Jiang Yan nodded, took her hand and walked to the candy area.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Sirui walked slowly against the crowd. There were several young men and women holding hands, chatting with each other.

"Let's go! Let's go to the Friendship Store!" Jiang Yan said softly to Jiang Sirui.

Because the Chinese New Year is about to come, there are a lot of people here. Everyone is coming and going, and they are all buying new year's goods. Jiang Sirui looks very happy, so he looks very excited, looking here and there. Jiang Yan was also quite happy when he looked at her.

"Be careful!" A warning suddenly came from the front.

I saw a middle-aged woman pushing a cart through the crowd, almost hitting Jiang Sirui.

The two of them continued walking forward.

"Thank you, husband" Jiang Sirui blushed a little.

The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and candied haws permeates the streets, whetting your appetite. At this moment, Jiang Sirui seemed to be a child. When she saw a candy seller on the roadside, she begged Jiang Yan to buy two candied haws.

The types of candies in the candy area were limited, and they were just the same. However, there were many people inside. Jiang Yan and the others saw that they couldn't get in, so they didn't go inside.

The briquette stalls and hot kang stalls on the street are doing brisk business, and many pedestrians stop to drink hot tea to warm themselves.

When Jiang Sirui saw them, a shy smile appeared on his face.

Walking on the stone streets of Old BJ, there are gray stone walls and rows of courtyard houses on both sides. The base of the wall was filled with snow, and some were even covered with hard ice. The branches were covered with snow, and occasionally snow would fall and hit pedestrians on their heads, making them unable to dodge.

Jiang Sirui happily took Jiang Yan's arm and walked into the crowded department store.

As soon as the two of them stood still at the door of the Friendship Store, they heard rustling discussions around them.

Jiang Yan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and pulled Jiang Sirui to avoid him.

Jiang Sirui didn't speak, nodded, and followed Jiang Yan out of the department store.

After turning a few corners, the door of Di'anmen Department Store finally appeared in front of them.

Jiang Sirui was so happy that he got the candied haws from ear to ear, talking to Jiang Yan while eating.

"You're welcome, we have to be careful, there are too many people on the road." Jiang Yan said.

"Hey, where is that place?"

"Friendship Store, I've never heard of it! You specialize in imported goods."

"What? Isn't it just for foreign guests and leaders?" "That's right, there are good things inside. Common people like us can't even get in."

"Hmph, those two young men don't understand the rules, how do you expect to get in? There is no way!"

The appearance of Jiang Yan and Jiang Sirui obviously attracted the attention of other people.

They were all wondering whether the young couple had gone to the wrong place.

At this time, the guard came out and stopped in front of the two of them: "Hello, comrade, we don't..."

"We have documents." Jiang Yan calmly took out the documents from his pocket and handed them over.

The guard took the certificate and inspected it carefully, his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly became nervous when he saw that Jiang Yan's ID card clearly stated "Administrative Level 12".

"It turns out it's the leader! I'm very sorry, I didn't know. Please come in, please come in!" The guard hurriedly got out of the way and handed the ID back to Jiang Yan with both hands.

He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be an administrative level 12 leader.

When the people around him saw this, they all gasped in surprise.

I didn’t expect this young man to have such an identity!
"Oh, it looks like he is the real leader!"

"You can't tell a person by his appearance. This young man is not an ordinary person at first glance."

"You can even enter the Friendship Store, you are really a big shot!"

The two quickly crossed the front porch and entered the store.

Although Jiang Yan and the others came to this Friendship Store frequently, after entering again, they were still shocked by the dazzling array of products around them, but this year it seemed different. Since it was the Chinese New Year, it was a lot more festive.

As soon as you enter the door, the first thing you see is a candy store.

Various candies are neatly displayed in the window, including toffees and chocolates imported from John Bull, as well as candy gift boxes from Gallic Rooster and other countries. Colorful candies shine under the lights.

"Husband, there are so many candies! Can I choose a few to try?"

"Of course, it's your choice." Jiang Yan rubbed her hair lovingly.

Jiang Sirui happily selected in the candy store, and finally selected a few pieces of chocolate, toffee and toffee.

Jiang Yan frowned when he saw what was in Jiang Sirui's hand.

"Take more, it's too little. Don't save money for your husband. Besides, there are so many people in our family! Who can eat with this little."

Jiang Sirui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then happily started buying, basically starting at two pounds.

Next was a food section. Jiang Sirui saw that the shelves were neatly lined with specialty foods from all over the world—desserts from Shanghai, Western pastries from Jinmen, and scented tea from Xiaozhi. She excitedly asked to buy a few more items. Jiang Yan Her requests were met one by one.

Finally, the two came to a hall where the most cutting-edge foreign electrical products were displayed - Xiaozhi's color TV, Hans' stereo, and Yingjiang's automatic washing machine, all of which were the most advanced products at the time.

"Wow, what are these!" Jiang Sirui ran to a color TV, his eyes almost bursting with light, "I didn't even know that TV could play color pictures!"

"These are the latest foreign technology products, which are much ahead of the domestic ones." Jiang Yan explained while standing next to her.

"Then the sound quality of this speaker must be very good, right? Let's go over and have a listen!" Jiang Sirui took Jiang Yan and ran to the speaker display area. The staff even played music for them to enjoy.

Jiang Sirui swayed to the music in front of the stereo, with a happy smile on his face.
