Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yan Jiecheng's eyes; he resented that his family's resources were not abundant enough.

Liu Guangqi made up his mind that if he didn't spend all the five hundred yuan he brought, he would be letting down the White Rabbit milk candy in his hand.

So naturally, they continued browsing the department store, since it had four floors in total, and they had only just reached the second floor.

Moreover, most important items such as watches, radios, bicycles, sewing machines, cameras, pianos, and violins are located upstairs.

In addition, the flow of people upstairs is not as dense as on the second floor.

But it didn't matter to Zhao De. Everyone still surrounded him and Yu Shui in the center, and deliberately left a circle of space around them.

Perhaps because of what had just happened, Zhao De even felt that they seemed hesitant to approach him easily.

Unlike before, when everyone wanted to squeeze around him to smell the fragrance.

Soon, they reached the third floor.

The first thing that catches the eye is the sewing machine counter.

Zhao De considered it for a moment and then walked straight past, since he already had one at home.

Then, in front of the watch counter, he walked around the metal railing in front of the counter and stopped.

"Sister, I want to see that watch, the Plum Blossom brand one!"

The counter clerk, who was already in her forties, was overjoyed when he called her "sister".

"Miss has excellent taste, but this one is an imported product. Let me get you a domestic one, a Shanghai brand."

Zhao De picked up the two watches and compared them carefully, finding that the Swiss-made Titoni brand was indeed more aesthetically pleasing.

As for the watches from the Shanghai brand, they look more like men's styles and don't have much of a feminine character.

Neither is as small and exquisite; the two are quite different in terms of aesthetics.

"Which do you think looks better, the raindrops or the water?"

Zhao De turned his head and asked, and He Yushui pointed to the one on his left.

"This one is from the Plum Blossom brand."

"I also think this one looks better, but unfortunately I don't have any money or coupons right now."

"When I save enough money in the future, I will definitely buy one. It will look really good when I wear it."

Among the crowd listening intently nearby, only Liu Guangqi was secretly overjoyed.

Zhao De reluctantly took off the Plum Blossom brand ladies' watch and returned it to the counter staff.

After the person left, Liu Guangqi immediately asked eagerly, "How much is that Plum Blossom brand women's watch you were eyeing? How many industrial coupons do you need?"

"This watch is priced at 195 yuan. If you purchase it using industrial vouchers, you will need six vouchers."

"Brother, are you really going to buy it?"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu offered a word of advice with concern, genuinely worried that their elder brother might win over Sister Qianqian's heart.

But Liu Guangqi had no time to pay attention to them; he was only focused on buying the women's watch in his hand as soon as possible.

Liu Guangqi deftly pulled out his wallet to pay, without the slightest hesitation, appearing exceptionally quick and decisive.

After receiving the watch box, he stuffed it into his pocket, a smug smile plastered on his face.

"That's it, the jade pendant is worth over two hundred yuan and the women's watch is worth about two hundred yuan."

"Qianqian will definitely be very moved. Who can compare to me? Who can compare to me?"

Guangtian and Guangfu exchanged a glance, looking somewhat helpless. They had already made the purchase; what else could they do?

However, Guangtian rolled his eyes, deliberately slowed his pace, and then tugged at Guangfu.

“Guangfu, it’s too late to persuade him now. I would feel the same way if I were in his shoes.”

"So we decided to stick with him all the way to the end."

"Let him spend all the money and tickets, just in case Sister Qianqian won't be moved by him."

"Look, Sha Zhu has been eliminated, but that's not necessarily the case. There might be an even bigger surprise later."

"Yan Jiecheng hasn't taken any action yet, but he's definitely planning something big."

"Xu Damao probably has a lot of money left to him by his family. If he gets carried away, he might do something drastic."

"what do you think?"

"Second brother, your analysis is correct. Let's do it this way."

"Alright, then we must make sure that big brother spends that radio ticket he has."

"Row."

Zhao De had already stopped in the bicycle area.

"Rain, can you ride a bicycle?"

Zhao De asked He Yushui, and He Yushui shook her head.

"I've never ridden one before, Sister Qianqian, do you know how? Although your brother has one, you can use his to learn if you don't know how."

"I'm not very good at it either, but you're right, I can learn."

"So once I start working and earning money, I'm definitely going to buy one."

"Rain, this Phoenix brand women's bicycle is so beautiful! I really like it!"

Compared to men's bicycles, women's bicycles do not have a crossbar in the middle.

In addition, there is a steel wire basket on the front of the vehicle, and the wheels are smaller, making it look more delicate and compact.

"Sigh, I won't graduate until next summer. I don't know if I'll be able to afford a bicycle by then."

Zhao De glanced at He Yushui, whose face was full of a wry smile.

"Rain, let's go check the radio."

Zhao De noticed out of the corner of his eye that Yan Jiecheng was about to burst into laughter, and instantly understood.

After he left, Yan Jiecheng immediately took action.

"Comrade, how much is this women's bicycle?"

Are you referring to the Phoenix brand model, or the Flying Pigeon brand model?

"It's the Phoenix brand, the one that the lady just picked out."

"This Phoenix brand model costs 183 yuan, and you also need a bicycle ticket."

"No problem, I'll buy it."

Yan Jiecheng agreed without hesitation.

In addition to the 183 yuan, you also need to pay 3 yuan to have the steel stamp applied for the license plate.

The total cost was 186 yuan.

"Can you help me get home?"

"A place that's too far won't do!"

"Not far away, just over in Nanluoguxiang, there's a Hongxing Courtyard. My house is on the right-hand side as you enter the gate."

"Okay, I'll register you."

"Can it be delivered before dinner?"

"No problem, it'll be much faster to ride a bike there!"

"What if you don't ride it?"

"Do you want me to push it over there?"

"Is this okay?"

"Of course not."

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to give up. After completing all the formalities, he glanced suspiciously at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu beside him.

He quickly caught up with Zhao De and the others.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu immediately went to their elder brother's side.

"Brother, Yan Jiecheng has already made his move. He spent 186 yuan on that Phoenix brand women's bicycle."

Liu Guangqi's expression immediately changed.

At this moment, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were keeping a close eye on their competitors' little tricks.

One bought a women's watch and a jade pendant, while the other bought a women's bicycle.

Sha Zhu felt increasingly uneasy.

In contrast, Xu Damao was considering the plan and seemed quite calm.

In front of the radio counter.

"Wow, I never knew there were so many different models of radios!"

Looking at the various radios of different sizes displayed on the counter, Zhao De's eyes were opened.
