A Flower of 80s' Supply and Marketing Cooperatives (MTL)

Chapter 29-30

Chapter 29 - Gift

　　At eleven o'clock, the marriage proposal team arrived, and the man also came with six people. In addition to Fang Lei, Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang, cousin, and cousin, there is also a tribe who also drives a tractor. . And because they are freely in love, there is no matchmaker present. It's just said that according to custom, in the future, you will have to appoint a person to be a matchmaker. This is something later.

　　Proposing marriage in rural areas is also simple. Uncle Fang gave a small gift and a few feet of cloth on behalf of the parents, and Grandpa Shen accepted it with a smile.

　　Shen Bailu looked at the small light blue floral cloth with white background, and asked in confusion, "Isn't this the cloth you bought last time? So you didn't give it to your comrade-in-arms?"

　　"I originally wanted to take it home for my aunt, but I didn't expect it to be used here. It just happened to be your choice, which is more meaningful."

　　Shen Bailu chuckled, "It really makes sense."

　　There is a jujube tree in the corner of the yard. The jujube on it is half red and the fruit is full. When Shen Bailu was holding a small basket to pick the jujube, Fang Lei approached him and said mysteriously: "Those etiquette are done for others. Look, this is the gift I want to give you."

　　He took a small square box and handed it to her.

　　Opening the box, Shen Bailu's eyes widened, Shanghai brand ladies watch! The commune is not sold!

　　"When did you buy the watch? Where did you buy it?"

　　Seeing Shen Bailu's surprised expression, Fang Lei smiled and said, "While changing trains in Guangzhou, I went to the shop some time. After seeing this watch, I thought it was good, so I bought it."

　　Shen Bailu smiled and asked, "Are you planning to buy a gift at that moment?"

　　He: "Be prepared for it. I haven't returned home after so many years. I will definitely arrange to find someone when I return home this time."

　　"Try it on, I guess your wrist is relatively slender, and you took two bracelets." Fang Lei said, pulling Shen Bailu's hand and putting on her watch.

　　After the silver chain was fastened just right, Shen Bailu flipped his hands and looked at it, very pleased.

　　According to the custom of the time, if the woman accepts the proposal, she will also give the man a gift, mostly shoes, socks and the like.

　　Shen Bailu said with some shame: "You gave me such an expensive watch, but I didn't give it to you the same... You can't wear outside shoes in the army, and I don't know how to make shoes. Only when I came back yesterday, I was hurried. I bought a pair of cloth shoes and a pair of socks to make fun."

　　Fang Lei said, "It's okay, just try to be auspicious."

　　"However, how do you know that I have no other gifts to give?" Shen Bailu handed the small basket to his hand, "Wait for me."

　　"???"

　　Shen Bailu held a golden fountain pen in his hand and handed it to Fang Lei.

　　This pen came by a coincidence. Two days ago, the old section went to the county to stock up, and the small officer in the commune asked him to bring a hero-brand golden shell pen back.

　　The pen was brought back, but the little officer was scolded bloody by his wife. This kind of high-end fountain pen is more expensive. The little officer's wife said that he wasted money every day, pursuing these flashy things, refused to pay, and only let the old guy return it.
