Chapter 25 Dress up Li Changhe!
Soon, Li Changhe paid the money, took the ticket back, and handed one of the bottom copies to the salesperson.

Then, the two Shanghai brand jeweled flower watches completely belonged to Li Changhe and Zhu Lin.

"Come on, take it with you!"

Zhu Lin had already adjusted the time on the two watches, and then happily put them on Li Changhe's left wrist.

Then, he took his own piece in his hand.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

Zhu Lin raised his wrist, aligned it with Li Changhe's, and asked Li Changhe with a smile.

"nice!"

It must look good. This girl looks good in anything.

Li Changhe, who came from later generations, did have some awareness of this.

"Walk?"

Li Changhe saw that he had finished buying and prepared to withdraw.

"Why are you leaving? Come with me here!"

Li Changhe wanted to leave, but Zhu Lin didn't want to leave. Instead, he took Li Changhe to the other side of the department store, where rows of clothes were hung behind the counter.

"Comrade, help me get that white shirt and those straight pants!"

Zhu Lin pointed at the clothes on the shelf and said to the salesperson.

If there is any change that proves that the trend of previous years has passed, it must be the change in clothing.

When Li Changhe just returned in April, the streets were still full of yellow-green military uniforms or dark-colored Mao suits.

But now in August, some other colored clothing combinations have begun to appear on the streets.

Just like the blagi, or dress, which was originally forbidden to be criticized and has not been worn by women for many years, but many people have worn it again this summer.

In department stores, clothes of different colors are also being hung, such as the white shirt and straight pants in front of you.

The fabrics of both items are polyester, of course, nowadays it is called Dacron.

This kind of ready-made Dacron clothing that appeared in department stores did not require cloth coupons, but the price was very high and could be considered a luxury item of that era.

Zhu Lin didn't think too much about it, but took the clothes and started comparing them in front of Li Changhe.

There are no fitting rooms these days. Basically you just hold the clothes in front of you and compare them to see if the width is about right.

If it doesn't work, I usually take it home and make some modifications. After all, almost every woman these days has the skill of tailoring.

"It looks okay, what do you think?"

Zhu Lin gestured and then asked Li Changhe.

“I think you don’t need to buy it!”

Li Changhe doesn't care about what he wears, he just follows the crowd.

He didn't buy much clothes this time. This summer, he basically wore a sailor shirt or a thin green military uniform.

I wear a small vest at home.

As for the bottom, it is the eternal yellow rubber shoes and green military pants.

Hearing Li Changhe's joke, Zhu Lin rolled his eyes at him.

"It doesn't matter what you say!"

Ever since the two of them made their relationship clear, Zhu Lin's attitude towards Li Changhe has become more and more casual.

In fact, it is very normal in this era, because in this era, although there are cases of breaking off an engagement, they are very rare.

That is to say, it is now 77. In another year, in 78 or even 79, as the country gradually relaxes its policies, people's thoughts will continue to change.

In the past three years, we can say that we have made progress and strides forward in ideological emancipation every year.

But in 77, lovers were still relatively conservative in their thinking, and basically once they were together, they would be together for life.

In a case like Zhu Lin and Li Changhe, the two like each other and their parents know each other, which basically means that their marriage is a foregone conclusion and there is almost no possibility of change.

This is also the change in Zhu Lin's attitude now. She has begun to plan to change Li Changhe's clothes. "Aren't you going to Heihe Province in a few days? The weather there is cooler than here. I heard that it snows there in September and October."

"Besides, when you go to see your sister, you should dress smartly. That way you can give her confidence and prove that we are really doing well here."

Zhu Lin gestured while talking to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe himself had never really thought about this, but after Zhu Lin's reminder, he felt that he really had to do it as soon as possible.

As expected, winter is indeed coming there. After all, Heihe Province is the northernmost of the three northeastern provinces.

Take the books over there early. It’s winter now, so you’ll have time to read and study.

"Not bad, just this size, comrade, give me a white one, and a blue one, and I want these pants too!"

Zhu Lin was very generous at this moment and asked for three items at once.

The salesperson was stunned.

Today's Dacron is not as scarce as it was in previous years. The finished products in department stores do not require cloth coupons, but the prices are still very high.

A shirt costs 11 yuan, and a pair of pants costs 8 yuan!

Zhu Lin bought all three items at once and spent 45 yuan.

"By the way, give me two pairs of those 765 shoes over there."

Zhu Lin saw another pair of shoes next to him and immediately took them.

765 shoes are a kind of leather shoes, but they are not cowhide shoes, but pighide shoes. The appearance is a bit like the casual leather shoes of later generations, with large turnups on both sides. They are considered the lowest type of leather shoes these days.

But the price is cheap, only 7 yuan, and no ticket is required, so it is called 6 shoes.

Of course, there are also exquisite leather shoes on the counter, but few people buy them these days.

The reason for this is that in previous years, wearing suits and leather shoes were the enjoyment of the bourgeoisie!
Even though people are now a little more open-minded, they still stay away from suits and leather shoes.

"These are for you to wear when you go to Northeast China. These shoes are sturdy and much more comfortable to wear than your yellow rubber shoes. The roads there may be bad, so these will be comfortable to wear!"

Zhu Lin helped Li Changhe choose the size, and then bought two pairs at once to wear alternately.

The salesperson's eyes widened. Nowadays, most people buy a pair of shoes and wear them very carefully, for fear that they will be worn out.

Judging from the girl's tone, she bought this for daily wear!

So rich!

Zhu Lin didn't care about the salesperson's opinion, and besides, she did have money.

From the art troupe to the health center and then to the school, she has always had a salary over the years. Although it is not high, she does not spend much either.

Every time I got my salary, I didn’t have to pay money home. After returning from the art troupe, I ate and lived at home, and basically kept all the money.

Over the years, she has saved more than 800 yuan, so spending this hundred or eighty yuan is really nothing.

The process was the same as before, but this time Li Changhe was looking after the things while Zhu Lin took the bill to pay.

After paying the money, Zhu Lin came back and started walking out with Li Changhe, carrying clothes and shoes.

"Come on, let's go back. Go inside and try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, change it right away!"

Soon, the two men rode their bikes back to Li Changhe's home, and Li Changhe went into his room to try on the clothes.

The moment Li Changhe, who had changed his clothes inside and out, walked out, he saw the light in Zhu Lin's eyes.

He actually looked at himself in the mirror just now. Compared with his previous sloppy look, this neat outfit really brings out his looks better.

The only thing is that the material of the clothes is really average, and it’s not very comfortable to wear.

"It's too hot, I'll take it off first!"

The clothes were not very breathable. After wearing them for a while, Li Changhe couldn't stand the heat anymore and quickly ran into the house to change them.

In the living room, Zhu Lin was thinking about Li Changhe's outfit just now.

nice!
