Hard times have room

Chapter 943
Upon hearing the price, even Xu Rui, who had been prepared for a long time, didn't raise it in one breath and held his breath.

"14 yuan? Why is it so expensive? Are you sure the price is okay?"

"Didn't it all cost eight or nine dollars before?"

Of course, she guessed the price at will, and eight or nine yuan was the price in her heart for the big cotton coat.

The stall owner became a little impatient when he heard this. Although he sells cotton-padded clothes, he is a salesperson and a job-seeker. In the past, he was the only one who yelled at the customers. The yelling thing.

What's more, what this person said before was not pleasant, and he suspected that he was taking kickbacks, and he didn't know the price yet!Just pretending to be condescending and hitting him is really unpleasant and insulting.

"If you want to buy it, buy it? If you don't buy it, don't yell at me. You are still a young girl, why do you look so philistine!" The man who ran out of patience opened his mouth to say that he was merciless.

Xu Rui's complexion became very pale and ugly at this moment, her self-esteem was still very strong, especially after receiving the university admission letter, it was the first time that she was ridiculed like this because she thought she was superior to others. The sense of gap came all at once.

Seeing that Xu Rui's expression was very bad, Baolin took her hand and advised, "Let's go! There is no shortage of clothes."

She didn't feel too much, she was an outsider at first, but she felt that it would not be a good thing for Xu Rui to stay here, after all, Xu Rui didn't have much money, if she really bought this dress, the next Yue estimated that she would have to eat dirt, so she persuaded her, thinking of taking the initiative to give her a step down.

The counselor has made it clear before that the monthly subsidy is issued on NO.20, and the squad leader and deputy squad leader will distribute it together. The day before yesterday, Xu Rui went to the cafeteria to have a big meal and ordered a small fried pork, which cost three One yuan and half a catty of food stamps, although she ate them in two meals, they were not cheap after all, the money was spent.

"No, don't worry about it, I'm definitely going to buy this dress." Bu Zheng Mantou argued, the stinky man on the opposite side looked down on her, and she still had to take this dress off to show him her strength.

"Pauling, the money is easy to talk about. I have it in my hand. Do you have a cloth ticket? If you have it, lend it to me, and I will definitely pay it back in the future."

Ten-shi-chi cloth tickets are too much for her, she only has five-shi-chi cloth tickets, and she still owes half of it, and needs assistance.

There was only one person beside her, and that was Wang Baolin. The first reaction was to ask her to borrow it. As for whether Wang Baolin would distribute the ticket, she deliberately ignored it.

Does Pauline have a cloth ticket?Of course not.

The cloth ticket at home had already been spent before, but after getting the cloth ticket, they didn't delay at all, they spent all of it, otherwise, where did her two sets of clothes and the clothes on her parents come from? Did you buy the cloth ticket at the department store in the county seat?

"I don't have a cloth ticket. I came here to go to school, and I don't know how to make clothes. Of course, my family didn't prepare a cloth ticket for me. They bought cloth and made clothes for me or other things." .”

"Really? I see that the clothes and schoolbags on your body are all new, and it doesn't seem to be missing at home." Seeing Wang Baolin's unhappy face, Xu Rui shut her mouth wisely. She can be admitted to university in this era , that's definitely not a fool.

She didn't have to force Wang Baolin to give her the cloth ticket, but seeing her favorite clothes in front of her, she couldn't buy them, so she was impatient!After all, the example of the silk scarf in front is still shining brightly!
"No ticket, right? Find me!"

"If you are willing to spend a little more money, I will give you the idea of ​​cloth tickets. Anyway, I have spare cloth tickets, and I can paste them for you. Of course, it is not free." The stall owner said at a critical moment.

This is a good time to earn extra money. The cloth tickets in his hand are still enough to fill in the gaps. Selling them to the people opposite is much better than selling them to people on the black market.

"I have Wu Shichi's cloth ticket here, and it's still half short, how much more?" Xu Rui asked impatiently.

"It's half of it, just add one yuan. You just met me today, otherwise there must be no such good thing."

After 2 minutes, Xu Rui took the clothes and left contentedly. The clothes were tied with a rope casually. She carried her back to the dormitory as if she was holding a baby, and it was not too hot.

Baolin followed Xu Rui all the way back to the dormitory. The two of them were still a little embarrassed after what happened just now, and they didn't talk all the way.

Another week passed, and this group of freshmen gradually adapted to the life of the university, and they lived a colorful life.

This morning, as soon as I walked out of the dormitory, the wind howled and blew, as if trying to sweep me away.

The sky above the head was also gloomy, and the sound of thunder sounded from time to time, but there was no lightning, maybe it was too far away, after all, the thunder was not loud, and of course, the clouds might be too thick.

Wang Baolin, Xu Rui and Lin Sisi, the earliest people from the three dormitories, saw the weather, immediately reported to the group, and went to the cafeteria hand in hand.

Obviously, it was going to rain heavily today, and Pauline was very worried about it, because she didn't have an umbrella, to be precise, she only had a bamboo hat, but she didn't bring it.

Like her, the two next to her wanted to get to the classroom before it rained, maybe the rain would stop after class at noon!
When we arrived at the North Canteen, there were not many people. After all, it was still early, and it was not even 08 o'clock. If we had class, it would be 30:[-].

Baolin and Lin Sisi did as usual, a bowl of rice noodles with some vegetables and sauerkraut only cost ten cents, and even the soup and noodles were eaten clean, and they were seven to eighty percent full.

Xu Rui used to be bold in eating and buying clothes, but now her life is very tight, with only a few dollars on her body, and there are still more than ten days before receiving the subsidy, life is very difficult.

Of course, her difficulties are compared to the previous period. Now she still eats fine grains every day, and the worst is finely ground coarse grain steamed buns, which are dry and honest, which is better than life in the countryside. too much.

After breakfast, as soon as they left the cafeteria, there was crackling outside, and it rained very quickly. The three of them didn't care too much, and ran straight away.

Fortunately, the teaching building where they attended classes was just across from the North Canteen, separated by only a road, so they didn't get wet when they ran over.

The torrential rain lasted for more than half an hour. Standing by the window, they saw with their own eyes the half-grown pine trees on the side of the road bent over by the wind, which looked extremely terrifying.

After more than half an hour, although the torrential rain had disappeared, there were still bits and pieces of rain, but there was no intention of stopping.
