Chapter 45: People Buy Watches When They Get Married (1)
“No, no, no!” Gu Qingyao was shocked and quickly tugged at him . “Brother Beihan, I can’t possibly wear so much . Get some other colors . There are so many other people in our families!”
Mo Beihan was taken aback . He had been immersed in the joy of being reborn and his mind was filled with thoughts of spoiling his wife . He only remembered now that there were many other people in the Gu Family!
However, these two types of wool were a rare find . Mo Beihan could not bear to relinquish them .
“Then buy some other kinds . We’ll take all these . You can keep it and knit a few sweaters so you can rotate them throughout the winter . ”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Mo Beihan would brook no refusal . He insisted on buying up the two types of wool . The sales assistant was shocked by his extravagance!
The remaining wool was in more sedate colors . They could be worn by either men or women . Mo Beihan liked the red and pink ones the best because Yao Yao could wear them .
In the end, Gu Qingyao bought another four kilograms of blue sheep’s wool and ten kilograms of blended yarn before she stopped!
The sheep’s wool cost 20 dollars a kilogram . The ten kilograms of red wool, ten kilograms of pink wool and four kilograms of blue wool cost 480 dollars in total . The blended yarn was 10 dollars a kilogram, so ten kilograms of it cost a hundred dollars .
Together with the cloth they had chosen earlier, the total came up to about 700 dollars .
In modern times, 700 dollars was not a lot of money . But this was the seventies, when the average city worker’s salary was about 30 to 40 dollars . It was only because Mo Beihan drew a high wage that he could afford it .
Even so, 700 dollars was several months’ salary for him .
Mo Beihan had left home at fifteen . Today, his wages, together with his allowance, added up to 160 dollars a month .

Seven hundred dollars…
Mo Beihan happily handed over the money and coupons, then left with Gu Qingyao .
Gu Qingyao lowered her head to look at the large heap of wool and cloth in her hands . Then she turned to look at this fellow who was still jubilant despite having spent so much money . She really did not know what to say to him .
She herself did not have that much money . But she knew this man all too well . Even if she could produce the money, he certainly would not allow her to pay .
“Don’t buy so many things for me in the future . You work hard for your money . These things are… too expensive!”
Mo Beihan smiled and drew closer to Gu Qingyao . He lowered his voice and said, “Didn’t I just earn three hundred dollars? The things we got from the mountain can still be exchanged for quite a lot of money! Don’t worry . ”

“That’s different!” Gu Qingyao said . “Those opportunities are rare . You are usually away from home and seldom get any leave . ”
Mo Beihan could not help but smile when he looked at the girl standing in front of him . “Don’t worry . I’ll definitely give you enough money to spend . ”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Women of every era found it impossible to refuse men who spent money on them . Especially a man they liked .
Gu Qingyao’s heart was filled with tenderness as she looked at his smiling eyes, brimming with love .
Forget it, why quibble . They had already bought it anyway . Also, she had so many resources at hand, she would never be short of cash .

He was good to her and she too, would be good to him .
Gu Qingyao happily hugged the cloth and wool . “Brother Beihan, I’ll knit a few sweaters for you when we get back .
Mo Beihan grinned with delight .
The two of them were childhood sweethearts and had grown up together . This girl had followed him around since she was young, calling him elder brother . He had liked her since they were children .
A pity that they had been cruelly trapped in their previous lives, and their lives ruined by a series of unfortunate events .
Mo Beihan was glad that they could do it all over again, without the hurt from the past . When he thought of the future, his heart burnt with passion .
Then he brought Gu Qingyao along to buy an iron teapot for his mother, Jiang Yingqiu . After some thought, Mo Beihan turned to Gu Qingyao and said, “Let’s go . I’ll buy you something . ”
With that, he brought Gu Qingyao to a counter that was selling watches . Gu Qingyao was taken aback . “A watch?”
