The two chatted for quite a while before Li Hongjun pulled out a box from under his pillow and handed it to Shen Yunfang.
Shen Yunfang received it with a puzzled look. The last time Li Hongjun gave her a box, it contained a bunch of jade pieces. She had no idea what was in this box.
"I noticed you don't have a watch; it's inconvenient, so I asked a comrade from Shanghai to buy you one. Open it and see if you like it?"
Shen Yunfang opened the box, and inside, a delicate ladies' watch lay. She took it out and compared it on her wrist—hmm, not bad.
"How much?" She couldn't tell the brand, but it must be expensive, right?
"Two hundred and sixty. I borrowed the money from a comrade, and I'll have to pay it back monthly," Li Hongjun said, slightly embarrassed.
Having bought the watch, he'd have to use his salary to pay the debt, meaning he'd have to give her less money each month.
