Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: The Last Day 4

Fubao raised his hand. "I know, I know, it was given by Grandpa Wang. Dundun and Zhuangzhuang have it, and so do I. Only brother doesn’t have it. Each of us got twenty dollars. Grandpa said it was for us to buy fruits and told us not to tell mom and dad!"

"Buy cake!" Erxiong waved the money in his hand.

Dundun and Zhuangzhuang were different. The two kids each took out two big notes from their pockets, "For Mom!"

The weather was severely cold, and they didn’t change their clothes every day. When they left the courtyard yesterday, Feng Qingxue hadn’t thought to check the kids’ pockets, and just like that, they all ended up with their own secret savings.

"Why do you guys have whole bills, and Erxiong has change?" Feng Qingxue took the money and felt it was strange.

Xibao said, "Isn’t it obvious? Erxiong probably thought two bills were too little, so Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang gave him change instead. It looks like a lot more than what Dundun and Zhuangzhuang have."

Fubao nodded on the side, thinking how smart his brother was to have guessed right.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were at a loss for words.

Since Erxiong had money, they would use his money to buy him pastries. The couple would pay for the other kids’ share. After all, Erxiong had no idea, while Dundun and Zhuangzhuang happily pinched their walnut cakes.

Thinking of Zheng Lingling, Du Zhong, and the other kids in the courtyard, Feng Qingxue bought extra pastries to take back.

After visiting the grocery store, they headed to the department store.

Guan Yu and Lu Tianzhi were immediately impressed, their eyes wide at the array of products. It was truly the Capital!

Boys probably have a natural affinity for bicycles and watches, so the two kids just stared at the bicycle and watch counters.

Feng Qingxue took note and decided to buy them each a watch when they turned eighteen. If she couldn’t obtain a watch ticket, she would buy imported ones, a privilege not even Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun had.

Feng Qingyun didn’t have one either, but Feng Qingxue planned to give some of her collected jewelry to her.

Zheng Jinrui and Chen Xueniang both worked at the department store. Zheng Jinrui was a cadre of some stature; he was transferred to the Capital with a cadre-level position through connections and naturally wouldn’t change his status here.

Seeing Lu Jiang and his family, the couple was very happy. "Let’s have dinner together after work. We’ll celebrate for you."

Chen Xueniang was in charge of selling cloth and pulled Feng Qingxue aside, whispering, "We just received a batch of flawed cloth today—some with uneven dyeing or defects in the cloth heads. They’re cheap and don’t require cloth tickets. I’ve kept quite a bit for myself. Do you want some? I’ll sell it to you."

"Yes!" Her own family wasn’t lacking clothes or food, thanks to everyone’s help, but other families were in need.

This type of flawed cloth was a fine choice for personal use or as a gift.

Feng Qingxue had long thrown her ambitions of frugality to the wind; now, it was all about buying.

Cotton, khaki, work cloth, synthetic cotton – Feng Qingxue bought plenty of each. Chen Xueniang, of course, chose the ones with the least flaws for her, and also sold her some corduroy with problematic edges.

After spending a total of seventy-eight dollars, Feng Qingxue had to stop herself.

Guan Yu and Lu Tianzhi were seeing Feng Qingxue spend money generously for the first time. A hundred dollars spent in the blink of an eye; first, they were stunned, then they looked at Lu Jiang. With such a free-spending wife, Uncle must be having a hard time, right?

Lu Jiang glanced at his nephews. "Your aunt has never wasted money."

Not to mention wasting money—he’d be happy to indulge her even if she did!

The brothers simultaneously gave a thumbs-up.
