Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

At this moment, whether it was Ye Yan or Fubao, along with Dundun and Zhuangzhuang, they all began to protest.

"Our money, mom can't interfere. My shoes are too small, I want to buy a new pair of shoes, suede ones." This was Fubao, who loved beauty, usually spending her energy on dressing up aside from her studies. She was learning from the elderly at home on how to match and design clothes. The old ladies were all beauty lovers when they were young. "I also want to buy a gift for Treasure Bead and Brother Zhonghua. When I wasn't at home, he sent me lots of delicious, fun things, including clothes and shoes."

Zhuangzhuang nodded in agreement. "Reciprocity is very important. I also have things I want to buy."

"Me too!" Dundun raised his hand.

He usually doesn't talk much, often accompanying his brother like a shadow. But it's this sense of honesty that made Feng Qingxue care deeply for him because everyone tends to overlook him. Hearing him say this, Feng Qingxue suddenly felt helpless and could only compromise.

"Alright, but you need my approval to buy anything."

"Hooray!"

Amid the children's cheers, they headed towards the department store.

Heaven smiled upon them; clouds dispersed and rain ceased in the afternoon, the bright sun driving away traces of chill.

No matter the time, the department store was always crowded.

They started off at the First Department Store, with Lu Erxiong stepping in first. Fubao was paying more attention to the outfits of the women around them, clinging onto Feng Qingxue's arm and whispering, "Shanghai lives up to its name, mom, look at their hairstyles—they're more fashionable than elsewhere. Also the clothing styles, even in the Capital, many of these styles aren't available in our Huaibei City."

Feng Qingxue also noticed that besides the common colors of black, gray, and blue, Shanghai's clothing colors were more vibrant. Quite a few women were wearing bright scarves, with garments in only a few colors—red, military green, colorful small flowers—and mostly wool coats and jackets.

As for the style, in Feng Qingxue's eyes, it wasn't much to talk about.

"Last time when I came to Shanghai, I bought you beautiful, high-quality silk, and sent it to the Capital. Once we get to the Capital, I'll make beautiful clothes for you. I know a very famous tailor."

"Thanks, Mom!" Fubao was thrilled.

Not looking at clothes first, they checked out the shoes, dazzling the children.

Feng Qingxue's clothes, shoes, and socks were issued by the military. The leather shoes bought when she got married still haven't worn out, showing the toughness of their quality. However, the children grow fast, and as they grow, even if their previous pair of shoes weren't broken, they couldn't wear them anymore.

"We don't like wearing leather shoes. Sister, hurry and choose, then we can go buy toys." Lu Erxiong was a bit impatient.

Boys are active, they love to run and jump around. Back home, they were often pulled up by Xibao to exercise, so leather shoes simply aren't part of their lives. Hence, only Fubao was buying leather shoes.

As the weather gets colder, the Capital is even colder. Fubao stared straight at the suede shoes and fancied a pair of black lambskin suede shoes.

According to her size, Feng Qingxue asked the clerk to bring a pair over, perhaps noticing their group's outstanding charisma and not looking any less fashionable than the locals, the clerk's attitude was quite nice.

Just then, a crisp girl's voice said, "I'll take those shoes!"

Feng Qingxue was fine, but the children turned red and looked over, oh, it was an acquaintance, precisely Su Jiaojiao, who tried to get close to Xibao a couple of years ago but was kept at a distance, her appearance had turned more beautiful but still came off a bit mean due to her entry.
