1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 744 I thought I'd talk to her first.

Ji Kunlan was taking her cousin Wan Tao to the personnel department to complete some paperwork and to the archives to hand over her work: "Second sister-in-law, once you get the tickets, just give them to my second brother. Since I'm already here, I naturally have to talk to Xiao Tao about the work to prevent him from making mistakes. After we're done, I'll take the car back myself."

Xiao Wanxia glanced at Wan Tao: "Okay."

A short while later, Xiao Wanxia came out of the office with a stack of tickets. Ji Kunming happened to drive up and asked, "Where's my little sister?"

Xiao Wanxia handed the receipts to her husband: "She said she'll teach Xiao Tao a bit more later, so he won't make any mistakes. She'll go back by car after she's done, and she wants you to go back and deliver the receipts first."

Ji Kunming took the ticket and put it in his pocket: "I must say, that girl really looks like my grandma."

"right."

"Are you planning to confront her about it that day, or..."

“If it weren’t for waiting for Grandpa, Dad would have gone to Changping today. I spent a long time last night trying to persuade him to stay.

I was thinking of talking to her first, then finding an excuse to have her bring the person to the city. You know, there are a lot of things involved here. Grandpa's idea is to hold the family reunion banquet after this critical period is over and all safety hazards have been eliminated.

"Okay, you can decide on your own. I'm going back now. My family is waiting for these tickets to prepare my younger sister's dowry."

After finishing her work, Chu Xue wondered what gift she should give Ji Kunlan for her wedding.
Nowadays, most gifts are just pillowcases and bed sheets, which doesn't feel very original, since Ji Kunlan is really good to her.

Seeing her lost in thought, Sister Hong asked, "What are you thinking about?"

When Chu Xue heard the question, she didn't hide anything: "My roommate who lives in the same dormitory as me is getting married in a few days, and I'm thinking about what gift to give her."

Sister Hong handed her a report: "Is this the girl you used to eat with all the time?"

"Yeah, the one with pretty fair skin."

Sister Hong thought for a moment: "The department store just got a new batch of scarves, the colors are quite bright. My sister's daughter works there as a saleswoman. If you think they're okay, I'll ask her to save one for you." Chu Xue nodded and said: "Okay, then thank you, Sister Hong, please ask her to save one for me."

As Sister Hong walked towards her workstation, she smiled and said, "No trouble at all. I'll call her in a bit, and you can go to the bank this afternoon when you're there."

Chu Xue naturally wouldn't refuse: "Thank you."

After finishing her business at the bank in the afternoon, Chu Xue, under the cover of Sister Hong, ran to the department store.

After having someone examine the scarf, she was somewhat disappointed from the perspective of people in her later years.

These scarves are indeed quite bright and beautiful nowadays. It would be fine to give a scarf as a gift to an ordinary person, but given her relationship with Ji Kunlan, it's not something she can afford to give.

However, she still picked out two, intending to give one to her eldest sister and one to her own mother, so that children could wrap them on their heads when the willow catkins filled the air in the spring.

I glanced at the ready-to-wear section, and there were only a few styles available.

As I turned to go downstairs, I saw several bolts of poplin displayed in the fabric section.

Thinking back to how I had been planning to design my own dress next summer, I had an idea after seeing one of them in light blue.

I happened to have the receipt from last night: "Comrade, how much is this light blue poplin per foot?"

The sales clerk was busy arranging goods and didn't turn around: "Eight cents a foot, with cloth coupons."

After saying that, he turned to look at Chuxue: "This just arrived."

Chu Xue thought it was rare to come across such bright and beautiful fabric. She used her consciousness to check the tickets in her spatial storage, which were enough for her to splurge: "Comrade, how wide is this fabric?"
