Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you." Chen Yongqiang put the money away and agreed. The business was feasible, but it would require a bit of luck.

After finishing their business, Niu Huadong glanced at Qin Liping, who was standing quietly to the side. Seeing that she was wearing old clothes, he smiled and joked:

"Hey Yongqiang, you've made a lot of money, how come you're so stingy? You can't even afford to buy your wife a decent set of clothes?"

Qin Liping blushed deeply and lowered her head even further when she heard herself being called "sister-in-law" again.

Chen Yongqiang explained with a smile, "I was always in a rush when I came to the county town before, so I didn't have time to do anything. I'll take her to the department store later."

As Qin Liping drove away from the restaurant in her tractor, she looked at Chen Yongqiang and said, "Why don't you explain? I'm not your wife... It's not good for people to misunderstand."

"What's there to explain? The more you explain, the worse it gets." Chen Yongqiang didn't take it seriously, turned the tractor around, and headed towards the county department store.

"Where are we going now?" Qin Liping wasn't dwelling on that.

"I'll go to the department store and buy you clothes. Manager Niu has already spoken up, so as his 'older brother,' I have to show my appreciation, right?"

The tractor headed towards the county center. Chen Yongqiang was thinking to himself that he needed to find that generous coal mine owner later to sell the snow leopard skin for a good price. The people accompanying him couldn't be dressed too shabbily.

"They were just joking, Yongqiang, you don't have to take it seriously." Qin Liping was still embarrassed to let him spend money.

"Let me browse around first. I also want to buy some other things." Chen Yongqiang wanted to see if the department store had any gold-digging equipment.

Upon arriving at the department store entrance, Chen Yongqiang found an empty spot and parked the tractor.

People were coming and going at the entrance of the mall, and there were many bicycles and a few motorcycles parked there, which were particularly eye-catching.

These days, anyone who can afford a motorcycle is quite wealthy.

"It's so lively!" Qin Liping said, her eyes lighting up as she looked down at the bustling crowd.

"Let's go in and have a look around," Chen Yongqiang said, walking ahead and leading her through the bustling department store entrance.

Just as I was about to go inside, a middle-aged woman in a gray-blue cloth shirt approached me and asked in a low voice:

"Hey buddy, need some coupons? I have grain coupons, cloth coupons, and industrial coupons all here, at fair prices."

Chen Yongqiang immediately understood that this was a ticket scalper who resold tickets.

"How do I exchange industrial coupons?" He doesn't need grain coupons and cloth coupons for the time being, but he does need industrial coupons.

The woman glanced around and whispered the price.

Chen Yongqiang didn't haggle much. He counted out the corresponding amount of money from his pocket, exchanged it for a few industrial coupons, and quickly stuffed them into his pocket. The whole process took only a minute or two.

The woman, with sharp eyes, spotted market management personnel wearing red armbands approaching from a distance. She quickly retreated into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Because the department store was crowded, Chen Yongqiang naturally grabbed Qin Liping's hand to prevent her from being separated from the crowd.

This was the first time in Qin Liping's life that a man had held her hand like this.

She only felt that the big hand was very strong, and the warm touch burned from her palm all the way to her ears. Her head was spinning, and her feet felt like they were walking on cotton. She could only follow him.

Chen Yongqiang first led her to the clothing counter before letting go of her hand: "Take a look yourself and see what style you like."

"I...I don't know either." Qin Liping's mind was still a little fuzzy. Looking at the colorful clothes in front of her, she was completely at a loss.

Just then, a saleswoman with short, ear-length hair finished serving the previous customer and walked over with a smile, asking, "Sir, what kind of clothes are you looking for? Who are you buying them for?"

Chen Yongqiang pointed to Qin Liping beside him: "Pick an outfit that fits her well."

The saleswoman looked Qin Liping up and down, her smile becoming even warmer: "This girl is really pretty and has a great figure."

She took a light pink polyester shirt from the shelf and paired it with navy blue polyester pants. "This outfit is the best-selling this year. The color suits my skin tone, and the material is sturdy. What do you think?"

"Get her another pair of shoes." Chen Yongqiang glanced at the old cloth shoes on Qin Liping's feet.

The saleswoman turned around and took out a pair of white sneakers from the shoe cabinet. "These shoes go well with that outfit, and they're comfortable too. Would you like to try them on and see if they fit?"

Qin Liping tried on the shoes, and they fit perfectly. She liked them very much, but was too shy to say anything.

When the sharp-eyed saleswoman bent down to adjust her trouser legs, she noticed a section of old-fashioned bra strap peeking out from under her collar.

"Girl, why are you still wearing this old-fashioned style of underwear? That's what young girls wear when they're going through puberty. Doesn't it feel tight and uncomfortable in your chest?"

Qin Liping blushed and nodded, realizing her secret had been exposed.

The saleswoman immediately looked up at Chen Yongqiang, a hint of reproach in her eyes: "You, as a husband, really need to be careful about your daughter's intimate clothing!"

Chen Yongqiang had no idea what she was wearing underneath, and he felt a little embarrassed by the saleswoman's comment: "Then could you please help me choose a suitable outfit as well?"

The saleswoman helped Qin Liping choose the right bra size and then kindly led her to the fitting room to change.

After a while, Qin Liping came out, and she looked completely different.

The well-fitting new clothes accentuated her slender waist, but she kept her head down, looking somewhat shy.

"This outfit will do, and get me two more pairs of size 43 Liberation Shoes." Chen Yongqiang often goes into the mountains to hunt, and these Liberation Shoes are the most comfortable to wear.

When Chen Yongqiang was about to pay the bill, Qin Liping tugged at his sleeve:

"Brother Yongqiang, could you... buy one for my sister too? She hasn't worn new clothes in ages."

Chen Yongqiang then remembered Qin Lijuan, who was always quiet.

These two sisters are inseparable. If the older sister only buys things for the younger sister, she must feel bad.

"Get her another outfit in the same size," Chen Yongqiang said to the sales clerk.

"Okay!" The sales clerk smiled and agreed, then took out a set of shoes of the exact same style and size, along with two pairs of liberation shoes, and placed them on the counter. Then she started calculating on her abacus.

"Two sets of clothes cost 25.6 yuan, two pairs of cloth shoes cost 9 yuan, two sets of underwear cost 7.4 yuan, and two pairs of liberation shoes cost 11 yuan. The total is 53 yuan. You need 12 feet of cloth coupons and 8 industrial coupons."

"It's so expensive, maybe... we shouldn't buy it." Qin Liping was startled when she heard the price.

"It's alright!" Chen Yongqiang took out some money from his pocket, then counted out the cloth coupons he had saved earlier and the industrial vouchers he had just exchanged, and handed them over together.

Qin Liping didn't say anything more. She knew Chen Yongqiang was rich; every time she came to the county town with him to sell wild game, she earned several hundred yuan. This expense was really nothing to him.

Thinking of this, Qin Liping felt much more relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.

When she continued shopping, her steps became lighter and she was less reserved.
