Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1151: Decision Made

Li Xiaoyu squinted with a smile, Chengzi loved seeing her like this.

The two took the receipt to find the sales clerk, "The sewing machine you were looking at just now is no longer available."

"Isn’t there one there?" Chengzi asked.

"That one is reserved for someone and hasn’t been picked up yet."

Chengzi chuckled, "I see, Xiao Yu, do you really like this sewing machine?"

Li Xiaoyu nodded with a frown. "Alright, wait here, I’ll see if there’s another one."

It’s not worth it to argue with a clerk. She wasn’t even interested in dealing with them.

Chengzi turned and left. Li Xiaoyu continued to look at the sewing machine. The clerk snorted and turned away.

Li Xiaoyu thought about how she vowed never to become a sales clerk because of this. She’d grown up seeing their attitudes and found them really annoying.

Chengzi knew the leadership here was a friend of Secretary Bai and he often came here to shop. Money and receipts made no difference, but having connections did, right?

This time he directly approached the leader, Liu Changlin.

"Does the leader need anything today?" Liu Changlin asked with a smile.

Chengzi smiled and shook his head, "Today I’m here for a personal favor, Mr. Liu."

"What are you talking about? What do you need?"

"I’m here to buy a sewing machine. But the clerk won’t sell it to me."

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Changlin had a bad feeling, guessing it must be his wife shopping there.

"Leader, let me go over there with you."

"That’s quite a favor, Mr. Liu."

Liu Changlin and Chengzi went to the sewing machine counter. Li Xiaoyu saw Chengzi and someone coming over, clearly a person in charge.

She was delighted; she could buy the sewing machine she wanted.

Liu Changlin came over, and three sales clerks gathered around.

"Leader, which one did you have your eye on?"

Chengzi pointed at the machine Li Xiaoyu liked, "This is the one." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Liu Changlin’s wife also came over. Seeing the person she refused now brought her husband over, she dismissively smirked. Bringing her husband, what difference does it make? This machine is saved for her cousin.

"Alright, I’ll take you to get the receipt."

"Wait, this one has already been reserved."

Chengzi looked at Liu Changlin with a half-smile, which made him quite embarrassed.

"Keep quiet."

"I told you this sewing machine is already reserved. Xiao Fei saw it yesterday."

"Keep quiet." Liu Changlin’s face turned sour, and he turned to Chengzi, "Leader, I’m sorry."

"Ha, I really didn’t know reservations were allowed here. If that’s the case, can I reserve a few things too without a deposit?"

Liu Changlin was even more embarrassed, "Leader, you must be joking. There are no such rules here. Let’s get you a receipt."

Liu Changlin’s wife wasn’t foolish either; hearing her husband call him ’leader’ with a somewhat humble attitude, she decided not to argue further.

Chengzi paid, and another clerk hurriedly prepared everything.

Liu Changlin still followed behind Chengzi. "Leader, I’ll find someone to move it for you. If you find it inconvenient to take it home, just tell me the address and I’ll have it delivered."

Chengzi nodded with a smile, "Thanks, Mr. Liu. I do need help with the delivery, but I also have other things, let’s send them together. I’ll give you extra for the trouble."

"Leader, what else do you need?"

"A radio, and bicycles. Actually, two bicycles."

Li Xiaoyu hurriedly tugged at Chengzi’s sleeve, "I don’t need one, mine was bought this year."

"Alright, then just one bicycle. I can’t keep borrowing others for my commute."

The elder sister told me on my way back that going to the eldest brother would make life more organized.

The eldest brother didn’t object. It’s more or less the same, just that my work relationship transferred over there, I’m still watching over the elder sister.

Liu Changlin figured it out. "Congratulations, Leader."

Chengzi nodded with a smile, "Thanks, Mr. Liu."

"Leader, you’re too gracious. If you need anything, feel free to reach out to me. As long as it’s available here, I’ll find a way for you."

Chengzi nodded with a smile, happy to accept the goodwill.

Liu Changlin led them to the radio counter.

"Leader, and sir, do you have a particular brand you want to buy?"

Chengzi looked at Li Xiaoyu.

Li Xiaoyu shook her head in a daze, "I don’t know either."

"Then I’ll be bold and recommend one to you."

"We absolutely trust you, Mr. Liu."

Chengzi found the radio receipt, and after paying, they helped to pack it up here too.

Even the bicycle was recommended by Liu Changlin.

Once everything was bought, "Mr. Liu, please help us carry them down. Also, I need to buy some cloth; there shouldn’t be any limits for this."

Liu Changlin laughed awkwardly, "I’ll go with you two."

Chengzi whispered to Li Xiaoyu, "Buy whatever you like. You can get things for the family too."

Li Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, "I want to make clothes for each of the three kids."

"Prepare something for the four elders too. And don’t forget your brother and sister-in-law."

"That’ll be quite a bit of money."

"It’s okay, it’s just once in a lifetime."

Li Xiaoyu thought of how good her brother and sister-in-law are to her, so she nodded.

Counting Li Xiaoyu, there were thirteen people in the family, so they bought fabrics of different colors.

She bought a set of clothes for herself, and fabric for a family coat.

Li Xiaoyu suddenly realized. She wanted to prepare two sets of clothes and a coat for Chengzi.

Anyways, she had already bought so much. Might as well add these too.

Liu Changlin watched from the side, marveling at how the leader was truly good to his future wife. If he had known earlier, he would have introduced his cousin to him, then she could have lived comfortably.

For all the fabric, Liu Changlin took charge, adding two bolts of fabric as they packed it in two large packages, and helped carry them down.

On the ground floor, Li Xiaoyu bought many sewing machine threads, needles, and oil.

Outside, there was a tricycle with staff helping to load everything—fabric, small items, and the radio onto the car.

Chengzi shook hands with Liu Changlin, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

"Leader, you’re too kind." Liu Changlin suddenly leaned over to Chengzi and whispered, "Leader, shouldn’t you buy a watch for the lady?"

Clearly, he didn’t know, didn’t understand.

Chengzi realized and walked over to Li Xiaoyu, "Why don’t I buy you a watch?"

Li Xiaoyu laughed, raising her arm. "I have one, no need to waste money. This watch also cost quite a bit."

Chengzi nodded, "We’ll exchange it when more time has passed."

Li Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, "Alright."

Chengzi told the tricycle driver the location of their home. The tricycle couldn’t keep up with the car, so they returned home to wait.
