Chapter 44: How Extravagant! (2) (1/2)

There were many bolts of cloth behind the counter – khaki, denim, corduroy, fleece, and fine cotton. Their colors were rather monotonous, mostly gray, blue, black, or olive green.

As Gu Qingyao looked at them, a wave of nostalgia suddenly swept over her.

This was what her life was like when she was young!

“Yao Yao, which one do you like?” Mo Beihan asked Gu Qingyao.

Actually, he did not like any of these materials. He looked at them with the eyes of someone who had been reborn. Now that he had returned, how could he possibly like any of these?

But there was no choice. In these times, this was all that was available.

Gu Qingyao chose a piece of olive green khaki, and some fine cotton. She was not interested in the rest.

She did want the fleece, but it was too expensive.

Although Mo Beihan’s drew a good salary, he put his life on the line in exchange for it. She could not just fritter it away.

When she sold the grain in her interspace on the black market in the future, she would come back for it.

But Mo Beihan was reluctant to buy so little. “It’s too little. Yao Yao, you should buy more. Don’t save money on my behalf. These things are sometimes unobtainable. It’s unusual to be able to get them today, and some of the coupons will expire if they aren’t used. I have a plentiful supply and many cloth coupons. If you don’t use them, they’ll expire.

“You should buy more and bring it back to make some clothes.”

Gu Qingyao looked at Mo Beihan. This fellow seemed very used to paying her bills!

But before Gu Qingyao could reply, Mo Beihan looked at the piece of fleece and said, “I’ll take the fleece.”

“Good!” The sales assistant excitedly brought out the material. “There are ten meters of this material. Do you want to take it all?”

“I’ll take it all!”

Mo Beihan replied without hesitation.
