Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Chapter 105: Mother Zhang Visits the Provincial City (Part 2)

Mother Zhang was dazzled from the moment she entered, listening to Zhang Guoqing but not responding, just nodding. She looked at each item; the stuff was indeed good, but the prices were equally impressive.

Following him, Mother Zhang went from the first floor to the third, looking around the entire way. She picked out some items that were cheaper than those at the supply and marketing cooperative, then hurriedly pulled him away. She was not used to this place.

As they exited, Mother Zhang secretly sighed in relief, "Xiao Wu, where are we going next?"

Zhang Guoqing parked the car not far away and stopped, "Mother, this is the largest department store in the provincial city. Just like the supply and marketing cooperatives, some items require tickets. I have many tickets here, so buy whatever you like and don’t worry about running out of money."

The department store was just a two-story red brick building at the intersection of two roads, its walls full of slogans.

"Down with US imperialism, realize communism."

"Alliance of workers and peasants, urban-rural mutual aid!"

"Hard work and thrift, build the nation diligently!"

"Walk the cooperative road, achieve common prosperity!"

The big red characters were very striking, the entrance bustling with people coming and going, and no one came out empty-handed, all carrying large and small bags. The two entered through the main entrance, and as they arrived, they heard the broadcast: "Today’s special supply, liberation shoes, each person may buy one pair. Flawed goods are available on the second floor textile area, and can be purchased without a ticket. Inventory on the first floor can be purchased without a ticket."

Upon hearing the broadcast, Mother Zhang hurriedly pulled Zhang Guoqing to the first-floor inventory counter, without asking anyone. Seeing where most people gathered from afar, she squeezed in. Zhang Guoqing, having a hard time protecting her as he squeezed through the crowd, watched her excitedly select items. Once all chosen and the ticket opened, he queued up to pay and handed the ticket to the salesperson.
