Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 15 Preparations are basically ready
Turning to the counter selling tobacco and alcohol, she happened to have a few tickets for the tobacco and alcohol store. Lin's mother must have prepared some for her, considering that she would need to build good relationships with the locals when she went to the countryside.

Xu Qinghuan simply bought a few packs of high-end, low-end and mid-range cigarettes, including Phoenix, Daqianmen and Warriors, which were the more popular cigarettes in this era. Phoenix was 6.2 yuan a pack, Daqianmen was 35 yuan a pack, and Warriors was 13 yuan a pack.

Producing it for eight cents a pack was too cheap, and Xu Qinghuan felt it was not worthy of him.

Moutai costs eight yuan a bottle. Xu Qinghuan heard that it has great collection value, so she bought two bottles. The purchase of this thing is limited, and Wang Juan helped her open a back door, otherwise, she could only buy one bottle.

She used the tickets in her hand to buy brown sugar, white sugar, milk powder and malted milk, and bought them all. She also bought canned yellow peaches and lychees, which she loved, so she bought two cans of each.

The second floor sells clothes, shoes and socks. Xu Qinghuan's cloth coupons were basically unused. She bought two pairs of bras, two shirts, two pairs of trousers, and two pairs of shoes, one of which was a pair of Liberation shoes.

When all the cloth coupons were used up, she could only watch.

Xu Qinghuan spent one hundred and fifty yuan and thirty-five cents to buy so many things.

She had 807.34 yuan left, which was not enough money to spend no matter what era it was.

Xu Qinghuan didn't buy anything else. Her handbag was full and she couldn't fit any more in it, so she didn't buy anything else.

Wang Juan sent her out the door, hesitant to speak.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Sister Wang, I'll come over again tomorrow to see if there's anything I missed, and I'll bring you some medicine while I'm at it."

Wang Juan took out fifty yuan from her pocket and said, "I'm really sorry, this is all I have. You've helped me so much, I should thank you very much. I will never forget your kindness."

Xu Qinghuan confiscated it and said, "Three prescriptions will cost you thirty yuan in total. I'll give you the medicine tomorrow and you can pay me later. There's no rush."

Thirty yuan is not a small amount of money, but one of the main ingredients will use the medicinal materials in her space, which is of immeasurable value. It not only has a nourishing effect on the mother, but also can ensure the early development of the fetus.

Xu Qinghuan carried the things in both hands and walked across two streets before she found an empty alley. She put all the things she bought into the space.

Xu Qinghuan was not very familiar with the area, so she asked around and found a state-owned pharmacy. She bought the herbs she needed and brought out three bags.

If the medicinal materials are left in the space overnight, they will absorb a certain amount of spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to the patients.

This is also the reason why Xu Qinghuan charged thirty yuan.

The store next to the first floor of Wing On Department Store is a tailor shop, and the next door is a shop that makes cotton wool and quilts. Xu Qinghuan sent the cotton and cloth there to make a winter coat, one quilt weighing ten kilograms of cotton wool, and another quilt weighing five kilograms of cotton wool.

Arranged to pick it up in two days.

After a busy day, I returned to the Xu family. It was almost dark and the Xu family hadn't eaten yet. Wang Mingxia was cooking in the kitchen. Xu Manman was sitting on the sofa crying. When she saw Xu Qinghuan coming back, she quickly stood up and cried pitifully, "Sister, wuwuwu, I'm so sorry!"

Xu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Xu Manman showed the watch with the broken dial, "Sister, I'm sorry, I wanted to see what the watch looked like. Brother Chengxu gave it to me as your engagement token, but I didn't keep it well and accidentally broke it."

"It's broken, so be it. This engagement token is given to Huanhuan anyway. As long as Huanhuan doesn't mind, what big of a deal can it be?" said the eldest brother Xu Hongwei.

Xu Manman opened her eyes wide and looked at Xu Qinghuan, "Really, sister, you won't blame me, right?" Although the second brother Xu Hongye didn't say anything, he stared at Xu Qinghuan, as if he would not give up as long as Xu Qinghuan nodded.

"This watch is no longer mine. It has nothing to do with me whether he gave it to someone or whether it was broken or not," Xu Qinghuan said indifferently.

Wang Mingxia came out with the dishes. She already knew the whole story and said with a smile, "Sisters, what can't be discussed? I said your sister wouldn't care about this. You didn't know that Manman came back just now and was so scared that she kept crying. Really, it's not a big deal!"

Xu Manman stamped her feet and said, "Mom, you don't know. Brother Chengxu won't say anything, but his mother will definitely not agree if she finds out. What should I do? I promised Brother Chengxu that I would compensate him with a watch."

This reminded Xu Qinghuan that she had dozens of watches in her space, any one of which could be sold for millions in the future, but she couldn't take any of them out now. She had to buy a watch tomorrow.

She remembered that she still had a national watch ticket, which could be used.

It felt like the Lin family had given her all the wealth they had accumulated over the years.

Wang Mingxia's face turned pale. "Where can we get the money or tickets to buy someone else's watch? This is not just a small amount of money!"

Xu Manman cried, "Mom, I don't want to do this either, but what should I do now? This is the token of my engagement with Brother Chengxu!"

Wang Mingxia looked at Xu Qinghuan, "Huanhuan, what do you think we should do?"

Xu Qinghuan had already sat down and started eating. Boiled Chinese cabbage, potatoes and eggplant, and corn pancakes were simply a diet meal from the future. She stretched her neck while eating, and only after taking a sip of water did she recover.
"Second Aunt, this watch is the one I returned to Jiang Chengxu. Since he gave it to my cousin, it is my cousin's business. Even if you ask me, I have no right to deal with it." Xu Qinghuan did not miss the surprise that flashed across Xu Manman's face.

Xu Manman pursed her lips and stamped her feet shyly again, "Oh, sister, I just brought it here to take a look, I didn't mean to break it?"

Xu Qinghuan sneered and was too lazy to say anything more.

As long as she can be saved, she doesn't care who jumps into the fire pit.

Wang Mingxia's eyes lit up. "Huanhuan, are you saying that you and Jiang Chengxu have broken off the engagement? This is a lifelong event, you have to think it over carefully!"

Xu Manman was afraid that Xu Qinghuan would regret it, so she hurriedly said, "Mom, why are you forcing me? If I hadn't thought it through, would I have returned the watch to Brother Chengxu? This watch is broken now, and I probably don't want it anymore."

"Well, no!" Xu Qinghuan didn't even raise his head.

Xu Manman didn't want it either. If she was engaged to Jiang Chengxu, she would definitely not want the watch that Xu Qinghuan had worn. But now, she couldn't return the watch, so she could only make do with it for the time being.

After Xu Qinghuan finished eating, she returned to her room and began to organize her clothes. Winter cotton-padded jackets were very thin and the sleeves were too short. She had to lengthen them before wearing them. Two sets of clothes, including the one she was wearing, were a bit short.

Xu Qinghuan had no sewing skills, let alone how to cut clothes, so she had to wait until she went to the Northeast to find a way.

It was July now, and she was sleeping on a mat. In the cabinet was a set of winter cotton mattresses and quilts, which together weighed only five or six pounds. But that was enough. She planned to go to the Northeast and put these two old, hard mattresses and quilts on the kang, and use the new ten pounds of cotton to cover them. It would definitely be warm.

Now all the preparations are basically complete, except for buying a watch tomorrow.

All that was left was to cancel the engagement, check for any omissions and fill in the gaps, and then set off for the Northeast three days later.
