Chapter 190 "Hey, what kind of watch is this old country woman wearing?"
"Yeah, I've been wanting to buy you something for a while, but I just haven't had time to come out."
Liu Junhui stared at Yonggang, "Mom, Junlan, you have thought of buying things for me, but what about you?"
"Me? I don't lack anything, do I?"
"Why not? Isn't there one on your wrist? Political Commissar Zhu, and the cadres I saw last time when I went to your new dormitory, most of them were wearing watches.
You're a captain now. Putting aside the need to look like one, considering the demands of work and life, shouldn't you wear a watch? "
Li Yonggang was speechless after being told this by Liu Junhui. He touched the back of his head and said, "Next time."
I have enough money, but there are only two watch tickets. I'd better buy them for my mother and Junhui first as planned.
"No need for next time, I will buy you a watch today. I have planned this a long time ago.
I originally wanted to buy a watch for my mother, but since you want to buy one for her, then you should buy it. Sons should be given priority."
When Zhou Huaying heard that her son and daughter-in-law wanted to buy her a watch, she waved her hands and said, "Oh my god, I'm already old and still an old woman from the countryside. Why should I wear a watch? No, no, I don't want it!"
Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui knew that their mother, who had been frugal for most of her life, would not agree to let them wear a watch.
But the two of them had the same idea. My mother's household registration had been moved to Wanghai City, so she was considered a city dweller. She also lived in a military family compound, so she should improve her living standards.
Li Yonggang looked at his mother with eyes full of respect and love. "Mom, you have entered a new life. You should enjoy it as you should."
Zhou Huaying showed a simple but resolute smile on her face. "Yonggang, watches are too expensive. I, an old woman from the countryside, don't need such a fine thing."
Liu Junhui walked forward holding Junlan's hand, and gently held her mother-in-law's hand with the other hand, "Mom, this is Yonggang's thoughtful gift, and it's also what I planned in my heart.
You have worked hard for your children for most of your life. Now that we have the ability, we want you to improve your living standards."
Little Junlan actually echoed, "Yes, grandma, you can tell the time by wearing a watch. You can cook without burning it by looking at the watch."
Zhou Huaying's eyes welled up with tears of emotion. "I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't want to wear this watch."
Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui looked at each other. They knew that their mother felt sorry for them because it was not easy for them to earn money.
They both had made up their minds and continued to persuade me patiently.
Li Yonggang used the example of others wearing watches to enlighten her, "Mom, you saw yesterday that Political Commissar Zhu and his wife Tao Xingyue were both wearing watches.
Most of the women in the family compound wear watches. You should go out and chat with them. If you are the only one who doesn't wear a watch, people will say that we are rich, but we don't even buy a watch for my mother.
Liu Junhui then said, "Mom, you just heard it, Yonggang and I both bought a watch today.
If there are toy watches in the mall, I would like to buy one for Junlan!"
In the past, even kindergarten children wore mobile phone watches. This era is different, but Xiang Junlan, the daughter of a martyr, must also be different.
Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui took turns persuading Zhou Huaying, and she was finally convinced.
A family of four came to the fourth floor of the mall and approached the watch counter.
After the reform and opening up, the commodity economy in the south developed faster, and there were many watch brands in the watch counters.
Domestic brands include Beijing brand, Shanghai brand and Seagull brand.
Imported watches include Rolex, Omega and Seiko.
Most of them are available in both men's and women's styles.
Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui decided to buy a watch for their mother first. What brand should they buy?
The two of them stood in front of the watch counter, carefully selecting watches and exchanging opinions from time to time.
Li Yonggang's heart was filled with gratitude to his mother for her hard work in raising him. Without his mother, he would not be where he is today.
At this moment, he thought of his mother working hard in the countryside. He hoped that through this watch, he could make his mother feel the beauty of life and make her life more convenient.
Liu Junhui understood Li Yonggang's feelings. She carefully helped Li Yonggang choose a watch, taking into account her mother's preferences and needs.
Finally, they gritted their teeth and picked out an imported watch priced at 530 yuan, the brand was Omega.
The dial of this watch is simple and elegant, and the strap is sturdy and durable, which is just right for me to wear.
After the selection, Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui smiled at each other.
Although each guy spent more than 500 yuan, their hearts were filled with joy.
At this time, my mother happened to be taking Xiang Junlan to the toilet.
Otherwise, if my mother saw that the watch was so expensive, she would definitely not let you buy it and would buy you a cheaper one.
I can’t let my mother know the price, so Li Yonggang immediately took out a watch ticket and 530 yuan and handed them to the female salesperson.
After receiving the watch, Liu Junhui suddenly thought of something and asked Li Yonggang, "Yonggang, did you use the watch ticket left by Xiang Guodong?"
Li Yonggang immediately explained, "No, I want to keep Xiang Guodong's watch ticket as a permanent souvenir."
"Well, that's good, I agree!"
Li Yonggang knew that Liu Junhui's question had another meaning: was it obtained from Qing Lingping? If so, wouldn't he owe Qing Lingping a favor again?
Li Yonggang looked at Liu Junhui and added, "As the team leader, can't I get two watch tickets?"
Liu Junhui smiled knowingly and said nothing more.
At this time, Zhou Huaying came back holding Jun Lan.
"Mom, I've bought the watch. Please try it on to see if the strap is the right length. If not, ask the salesperson to adjust it."
Zhou Huaying carefully took the watch and put it on her wrist carefully. Her face was filled with a happy smile and became even more rosy.
The moment Zhou Huaying put on the watch, her heart was filled with relief and satisfaction.
If my son hadn’t been so successful, I would never be able to wear a watch in my life.
Zhou Huaying didn’t know the sky-high price of this watch. If she knew, she would be even more excited.
She knew that this watch was an expression of her son and daughter-in-law's love and gratitude to her.
I thought to myself, "I must take good care of such a nice watch. I must take it off and put it away when I wash vegetables or cook."
When Zhou Huaying puts on the watch, she looks completely different.
It’s just that the clothes she was wearing were too rustic and didn’t match the look. Liu Junhui looked at her and thought to herself that she should buy her mother-in-law some decent clothes later.
Next, choose a watch for Liu Junhui.
This is a special moment.
The fluorescent lights inside the watch counter illuminated the happy faces of Li Yonggang and his beloved fiancée Liu Junhui.
At this moment, Li Yonggang's eyes revealed a gentleness rarely seen in a super soldier king.
