How to Thrive in the ’60s

"Have you greeted Commander Yang?"

While Yunshang was asking questions, she took out the key of the cabinet from the drawer, and in front of several people, opened the lock on the bottom floor of the cabinet that had never been opened before, and carried out the lock that she had brought from home and was neatly tidied by Gu Shinian. Put all the clothes at the bottom.

Isn't there a saying in later generations that when you go out to meet guests, it is polite to them to wear appropriate light makeup.

She is going to be a guest at Wu Xiang's house, and she will meet the elders, so she must be polite.

You can't make up, but you can always dress better and make yourself look good, shouldn't that be okay?

Yun Shang resolutely refused to admit that she was Aimei, and refused to admit that she had worn military uniforms for more than a month. She couldn't help but want to wear beautiful clothes once.

As for whether her and Gu Shinian's family background will be exposed, Yunshang said that anyway, during the military performance in March, her relationship with Lin Wenlan could not be hidden from the eyes of the rest of the group, even if it is exposed in advance now. It doesn't matter.

It happened to take this opportunity to stimulate Liu Chunmei, who is bullying and fearful, so that she will act more cautiously in the future, and don't be short-sighted to provoke and plot against her again.

Yunshang spread out the clothes one by one on the bed and carefully selected them, and finally changed into a beige cashmere coat with a fur collar and a pair of brown platform leather shoes.

Yao Ke had already seen these personal belongings of Yunshang when Gu Shinian was helping Yunshang to tidy up the internal affairs, and now she just looked at them again with envy, and had no other emotions.

But Wu Xiang and Liu Chunmei, who were on the side, were dumbfounded when they saw the big pile of brand new clothes on Yunshang's bed.

Each of these clothes is 100% new, and they are all high-quality clothes that cannot be seen in department stores and can only be bought in Friendship Stores.

And the pair of leather shoes that Yun Shang just put on are different from the ordinary small round-toed leather shoes that are popular nowadays.

The toe of her leather shoes is also round, but there is an obvious upturned arc, and the instep is specially pressed with a thick line, which makes the shoes a little bit playful and rough in their delicacy. Wearing it on the feet is really handsome and good-looking.

Especially after Yunshang changed her clothes, she carried a small brown bag across her shoulders, and put the watch that was shining brightly in the sun on her wrist. When she turned around again, her whole temperament changed, like It's like a different person.

Wu Xiang opened his mouth, walked around Yunshang twice, and said with admiration, "Yunshang! You, you look like... so beautiful! You really look so handsome in this dress!"

In fact, what Wu Xiang wanted to say was that wearing Yun Chang like this was as good-looking as Miss Qianjin in the movie, but she didn't dare to say such words in front of Yao Ke and Liu Chunmei.

Yun Chang looked down at herself, and said with a smile, "Does it look good? My mother and my aunt bought it for me when they were free."

"It's beautiful!" Wu Xiang nodded again and again, and then pulled Yun Shang's wrist, glanced at the watch she just put on, and boasted, "This watch is also beautiful! Did your mother buy it for you? Is it expensive?"

"The price is not bad, less than 700 yuan. But it wasn't my mother who bought it. It was my birthday present from Second Brother Gu last year."

While Yunshang was speaking, her meaningful eyes fell on Liu Chunmei, and when she said the last sentence, she deliberately emphasized her tone.

Liu Chunmei was in a daze at the moment. He stared straight at the cashmere coat and small leather shoes on Yunshang, and the words "less than seven hundred yuan" and "brother Gu gave me a birthday present" kept echoing in his mind.

No matter how stupid she is, she knows that Yun Shang's words are for her.

If it is said that Gu Shinian came to see Yunshang from time to time, took her to the small cafeteria for dinner, etc., it was taking care of the acquaintances he had known since childhood. Then he gave such an expensive watch to Yunshang, it was far from simply taking care of acquaintances.

Their relationship is definitely much closer than she imagined!

Also, the family backgrounds of these two people are by no means as ordinary as Bai Yunshang said.

How could Bai Yunshang come from an ordinary worker's family with a bed full of new clothes bought from the Friendship Store?

And Gu Shinian, who gave a watch worth 700 yuan as a birthday gift as soon as he made a move, how could it be possible for Yunshang to have a normal family background as he said before.

Liu Chunmei still remembered that on the day Yunshang reported for duty, Ye Li showed off her new dress bought from the Friendship Store in the dormitory at night. At that time, she only thought the dress was beautiful and foreign, and envied Ye Lishen's identity as a city resident.

But now after seeing these clothes of Yunshang, she can know what real good clothes are. Compared with Yun Shang's clothes, Ye Li's clothes were forcibly set off as a defective product, both in style and fabric.

Ye Li brags all day about how good her family's conditions are, bragging which of her relatives is a high-ranking official, which relative is a leader, and which relative is in charge of exchanging foreign currency for the country. That's why she has foreign exchange certificates to shop for new clothes in the Friendship Store.

Even Ye Li, who has such a powerful family background, can own a piece of clothing bought in the Friendship Store, and he takes it out to look at it like a treasure all day long, shows it off, and then carefully puts it away.

But this Bai Yunshang, she actually has 20 or 30 good clothes that ordinary people have never seen before, and they are all new clothes, and they are just thrown under the cabinet so casually, without even looking at them on weekdays.

Compared with Ye Li with a decent family background, how terrifying is Bai Yunshang's family background?

And she also said that Gu Shinian and she grew up together. Since Bai Yunshang's family background is unusual, Gu Shinian's family background is definitely not bad either.

At least Gu Shinian is no longer someone she thought she could cling to at will.

Sitting there, Liu Chunmei thought of how she went to talk to Gu Shinian privately yesterday, but he ignored it like nothing, and thought of Ye Li's sarcasm last night, and couldn't lift her head in embarrassment for a while.

With Ye Li around, she couldn't hide the fact that she was secretly looking for Gu Shinian from the people in the regiment, so what if it got to Yun Shang's ears?

Yun Shang beat Liu Chunmei, and didn't care about her awkward little thoughts. She wrapped her head and face with a scarf, dragged Yao Ke and Wu Xiang, and was about to go out.

When he walked to the door, Yao Ke looked back at the white rice porridge on the table, and then at Liu Chunmei who kept her head down and said nothing. After thinking for a while, she said, "Liu Chunmei, it's best to eat in the cafeteria after eating. Go back to the dormitory after you're done, don't bring back the leftovers halfway through eating."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bowl of clear water porridge that could reflect the silhouette of a person.

Yun Chang was stunned.

That bowl of porridge was left over by Liu Chunmei?

No, to be precise, it should be that the rice in the porridge was taken away by Liu Chunmei, and the leftover porridge was brought back to curry favor with her.
