Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1234

Chapter 1234: Chapter 1107: Remittance Coupon

Talking about this, it’s a long story.

The old man had a few friends who got involved due to overseas family connections. Zhou Jiao helped them get relocated to good places, and also occasionally sent anonymous packages.

But who are these people?

Each of them is old and cunning.

—— Although it wasn’t explicitly mentioned, who wouldn’t know it in their hearts? Therefore, once they were vindicated and returned to the city, they would send any good stuff to the courtyard in the alley.

These things were known not only by Zhang Guoqing but also by Zhou Xiaozheng. After all, Zhou Jiao always consulted with them on matters to keep the big picture in mind, but she kept it from Miao Lishan.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust her mom’s character, but in those times, the fewer people who knew, the less worry there was.

Zhang Guoqing was driving, his attention still on the mother and daughter, and he laughed upon hearing, "Mom, the old man must have robbed his old buddies for his apprentice."

"Haha... it’s indeed possible, the old man cares most for Jiao Jiao. Jiao Jiao, you need to persuade him more in the future. You are his only apprentice, filial duty is a must, but you don’t need to let him go to such expenses."

"Okay."

While chatting, the car had already passed the bustling area. After traveling a certain distance, it soon parked in front of a not very wide alley courtyard.

Zhou Jiao had been here before. It’s a private restaurant, previously a high-priced dining spot.

She wasn’t surprised they chose to dine here, but once inside, it was different.

Unlike before, the courtyard seemed renovated, with more flowers and trees. Especially in the dining room, the tableware was all replaced with exquisite white porcelain.

The variety of dishes was much richer, suggesting that the chef had changed.

The three enjoyed a delicious lunch, even though the meal of four dishes and one soup cost over thirty yuan, Zhou Jiao did not feel any distress.

——It was worth the price.

After lunch, they arrived at the Friendship Store, almost two in the afternoon.

Unlike other department stores, here you can buy many high-demand goods with overseas remittance coupons. For instance, some foreign goods are available only in overseas Chinese stores.

Without an overseas remittance card, one cannot enter overseas Chinese stores, and with remittance coupons, you can buy rice, flour, oil, meat, and eggs beyond the planned quota, and purchase Moutai liquor and Zhonghua cigarettes at a basic price.

Miao Lishan always lived a comfortable life and spent lavishly. It was only in the past few years that circumstances forced her to restrain herself.

Now, with money and coupons in hand, especially since the remittance coupons must be used within a year or they expire, how could she resist an eager heart?

Moreover, the Friendship Store has another advantage.

——The prices inside are much cheaper than outside.

For example, a domestic watch costing one hundred and twenty yuan at a department store only costs one hundred yuan here, and no watch ticket needed.

Similarly, bicycles, sewing machines, record players, cameras, radios, televisions, etc., can all be purchased with remittance coupons, and the prices are also noticeably cheaper.

No wonder remittance coupons are the most popular gift now.

The further in, the higher you go...

Things not found in many department stores are all available in overseas Chinese stores, dazzling and mostly luxury goods.

Zhou Jiao found that after not coming here for several years, there were indeed a lot more products added. Even more enticing was that they even sold motorcycles.

And as long as you have coupons, there’s no limit on your purchase!

Zhang Guoqing could easily see what she was thinking.

His wife had always had a love-hate relationship with the small car in their space, even considering dismantling the engine to assemble a motorcycle at one point.

"If you like it, buy it! It’s fine for our son to ride as well."
