Despite being stuck in the Wanglou Brigade, Lu's father retained some freedom of movement due to Lu Jiang's military service, thus he was well informed of the outside world.
In an era where the average monthly wage was thirty yuan, a watch cost about a year's wage. Most wage earners had to bear the burden of supporting their entire family, including high-ranking officials, so they simply had no spare money to buy imported watches.
Only single young men like soldiers and sailors like Lu Jiang, who had no family burdens and higher wages, could afford to buy them.
The majority of imported watches sold, like Rolex, Omega, and Dita Von Teese, were bought by them.
Feng Qingxue was indeed not simple.
Lu's father and Lu Jiang exchanged a glance, an unspoken understanding between them.
Feng Qingxue's honesty made them feel reassured and pleased.
For the next two days, Lu Jiang kept running back and forth to town, buying candies, grain, and vegetables.
