Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 79
Seeing Zhao Wenduo again, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The general direction of the hands-on movement is correct, but the effect will be different if the object is different.

In order to prove his thoughts, he made a sudden attack on the side of the street, forcing her to fight back. It was also this attack that completely confirmed his guess.

A person who has been ill for a long time, long enough to think that it will never be cured.Suddenly, a cure was available.Even if this prescription is a bit unimaginable, he will still hold on tightly.For a long time, this strange disease was like a huge boulder pressing on his body, and he couldn't breathe because of the weight.Now, it can finally be removed.Thinking of this, the whole person feels relaxed.

The Fu family soon discovered that Fu Tingkun was different. It started with a dinner. This son (brother), who had never known the smell, praised the cooking for the first time at the dinner table for the first time, and ate two bowls in a row. rice.

That night, the cook of the Fu family was unanimously praised by the whole family and was rewarded with two months' wages. Chef Lede said repeatedly that he would work hard to improve his cooking skills in the future and live up to the trust of his boss.

And the protagonist who caused this incident, Zhao Wenduo, who is thousands of miles away, did not know that he had become someone else's prescription. sparring.

The Zhao family also didn't know that the chain reaction caused by the gift-giving incident this time was far from over.

Zhao Wenlan became the first person to be affected.

It's almost the new year, and the factories in the town have stopped production one after another, and the workers are on vacation.

Zhao Wenlan received this month's salary, plus 46 days of overtime pay, totaling [-] yuan.According to the usual habit, most of the money has to be handed over to the family for living expenses, leaving only two yuan for pocket money.

This time there was a change, Li Cuizhen didn't want anything, and left everything for her to manage.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, whether to buy new clothes and new shoes, or save it up as a dowry, it is up to her.

In the past two years of working, almost all the money I earned was given to my family. Except for the necessities, I also bought the rest of the pockets for my family every month. I didn’t save a penny in my hand.

This is her first personal money, and the amount is more than ten yuan.Zhao Wenlan was very happy, Fei took the three sisters out shopping, bluntly said that today is her consumption.

The last big episode years ago, the streets were full of people.Those who were not in a hurry to buy new year's goods before rushed to this trip to buy all the food and clothing.The same compradors also wandered around, and bought two or three more items when they had to, and the ones commonly used at home would not be bad.

The Zhao family's New Year's goods had already been prepared before this. Li Cuizhen spent a whole day shopping from the street to the end of the street. Apart from buying some at the market, she also did not miss the shops and stalls. All the samples were bought.

The family received three sums of money in succession. Zhao Wenduo earned 2 yuan from leather money, [-] yuan from selling dog's head gold, and the [-] yuan from Fu Tingkun's hands, adding up to [-] yuan.These are still only rounded, and the change is not counted.

In this day and age, not to mention peasant households like them, they are working-class families in the city. Anyone who can spend 800 yuan is extremely wealthy.Not to mention tens of thousands of yuan, the entire town has only a few million yuan households.

As the saying goes, money is not revealed, even if you have a huge sum of 2 yuan, it is not easy to publicize it, as long as the family knows it.

Having money means that you have confidence. You usually shy away from shopping, and you can only sigh to yourself if you have something that suits you. You can't buy it just by looking at it.Now that I have money, I suddenly become more courageous. I dare to go into the big shops on the main street, and I don’t have any worries when I meet the one I like, and I just buy it with money.

It is also with a bit of compensatory psychology, but Li Cui made a 'heavy' move. The purchase that day was a full reward.Not only was she carrying two bags, Zhao Wenying and Zhao Wenduo who went with her also had their hands full.

At this time, I remembered the benefits of owning a car. Zhao Wenduo inquired in private. The cheapest Fiat car costs 9000 yuan. Now I have enough money to buy one, but I can afford it , the key question is who will open it, and how will it be opened?

Generally, those who buy cars are small individual bosses, doing business for ostentation, transportation and delivery, all of which need a good means of transportation for sustainable development.

In comparison, the current Zhao family does not have any money-making projects, which can be used for vehicle maintenance and daily expenses, and this cost alone is not small.It seems too extravagant to simply use it for shopping and transportation.

After all, now is not a few decades later, when almost every family has a private car.A single family owns a car for no reason and without doing business.Spending such a large amount of money to keep an idle car for nothing, not to mention whether the family will agree or not, the whole village will be blown up, and the things that will happen are not necessarily small.

After this series of considerations, the idea of ​​buying a car was thrown out of Zhao Wenduo's mind non-stop.Clearly, now is not the time.However, it can be included in the plan.

Cars are temporarily on hold, but bicycles can be considered.As a contemporary mainstream means of transportation, bicycles will also have a bright future in the next few years, and it can be said that every family must have them.

Now that the bill system is cancelled, and the market is open and invigorated, these household appliances, daily tools, and commonly used equipment will soon be rolled out one by one, and major brands will also seize the market one after another.

Feifeng and Changjiu, the two major brands in Huaguo's bicycle industry, each account for half of the country.

Compared with the expensive and out-of-reach of cars, bicycles are much more accessible to the people.It is convenient and time-saving to ride to work and deliver goods at ordinary times.Carrying my wife and children into the city for shopping during the New Year and holidays is cool and comfortable.For residents in small towns, it is definitely a cost-effective choice.

With a large population, Huaguo was later called a bicycle country.It is also based on the love and dependence of the general public on it. It has almost become a law that every household has a bicycle.And its brilliance is coming.

Until then, we have to continue to rely on manpower.Even if there is a plan, at least until the next year, workers resume production, and the output of the production line will not be able to take place.

In the past few years, the relationship has been controlled by the bill system. It is not easy to buy large items such as bicycles.Even if you have the money ticket, you can't do without indicators.

In a town, the quota allocated at a time is usually no more than three or two units, and it is impossible to buy them even if you are queuing up.The supply and demand in the market are seriously unbalanced, which means that in the near future, once the supply is no longer limited, and there is no longer the trouble of not having enough tickets, there will be a blowout buying wave.

The premise is that there is not a single specialty store opened in the whole town, and this situation will change to a certain extent.Zhao Wenduo is still considering whether to be the first person in the industry to eat crabs.

The purchases for the new year have become real, and the mission of the four sisters is purely shopping.Walking around the snack street, everyone took one or two kinds of food in their hands and chatted while walking.

The two-story department store in Main Street is the final destination of the sisters.

Skimming the small hardware department store on the first floor, you go directly to the second floor. The cosmetics and clothing counters are most popular with girls.

The family's economic conditions are poor, and daily food and clothing are problems, so there is no spare money to buy extra luxury goods.From the old to the young, the whole family used the cheapest clam oil. The wind blows hard in winter. If you don't use some face and hand protection, you can get chapped in a few days.

The embroidery factory is full of young girls who love beauty, and they usually discuss beauty tips when they get together.What do you use on your face, what brand do you use, which hand cream, which face cream is fragrant, the basic salary is at least 30 yuan a month, and you can pay ten or eight yuan more for overtime work. Buy a bottle of better lotion or use it. affordable.

Most girls have a bottle of lotion or face cream in their hands, whether it is Xumei, Yingdeng, or Baiguu and Yashuang.

Zhao Wenlan is a natural beauty. She washes her face with clear water on weekdays, and only applies some clam oil every now and then during the coldest winter. Most of the rest of the time she keeps her face bare.Even so, the white and supple skin on that face is still the most conspicuous one in the crowd.

The embroidery factory produced beautiful girls, and Zhao Wenlan was one of the best among them.People always ask her what brand of lotion and cream she uses to keep her skin so well.She refused to tell the truth, but not many people believed it.In private, she would say that she was afraid of being imitated by others, and refused to tell the secret of good skin.

Zhao Wenlan's greatest wish is to be able to buy a bottle of her own skin care products.Even if it's a big bottle of friendship cream, I can take it to the factory and show the girls what she uses. She is no longer an exception. She is said to be good-looking, so she doesn't take them seriously. Get the cheapest clam shells to fool them.

There are several kinds of skin care products in the cosmetics counter, including glass bottles, iron boxes, and white porcelain jars. They are square, oblate, round, in different shapes, and in various colors.At first glance, a little dazzled.

With the new system and new regulations, some counters in the department store are contracted by individuals, and are no longer state-owned. Many of the salespersons are bosses, and the things they sell are their own, and the money they make is also their own. This source of motivation is different. , the service attitude is naturally not the same.

As soon as the four sisters approached the counter, the salesperson inside stood up and came over to say hello: "Girls, what are you going to buy? Face cream for face, hand oil for hands, and hair tie for hair. I have them all here. Come and have a look." -"

Zhao Wenlan pointed to the gourd-shaped pink bottle, and said, "I want to buy lotion, show me this—"

"Oh, this one, it's Xumei. It's beautiful in color and very moisturizing. It's the best seller here. The little girl really has a good eye." The salesperson took out a powder bottle of lotion from inside with a smile on his face, and put it on to the counter.

Zhao Wenlan unscrewed the cap, put it in front of her nose and smelled it: "Well, that's the scent." During the noon spare time, some workers in the factory would show off their cosmetics, and this was the smell she liked the most.The faint floral fragrance is very nice.

"Elder Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister, all of you should hear about it—"

"Ah, it smells so good!" Zhao Wennan grabbed her hand and yelled as if joining in the fun.

"The smell is quite pleasant, a bit like a floral scent with a fruity scent." Zhao Wenying said.

Zhao Wenduo didn't have so many words, only two words: "very good." An old brand produced in H City, with a history of decades, it is very popular with the public.

Zhao Wenlan got the approval of the three sisters, and she didn't hesitate anymore, and said to the salesperson, "Just this Xumei, get me four—no, five bottles." There is also Li Cuizhen at home, let her use it with their sisters.

Selling five bottles at once, the salesperson was naturally happy, and counted five bottles from the storage box at the bottom, and brought them up, saying: "Is this to be used with my sisters?"

"Yes, the four of us and my mother will also buy her a bottle." Zhao Wenlan went to rummage through the bag as she spoke.

The salesperson liked this pretty and filial girl very much, and added one more sentence: "Actually, I bought it for your mother. Cream is more suitable. For people who are a little older, it is better to use cream than you little girls."

Zhao Wenlan stopped, unable to make up her mind for a moment.

People who have never used cosmetics before, and who are most likely to apply some clam oil, would know that there is such knowledge in it.

Among the four, only Zhao Wenying was a few years older than her, but she was even more ignorant. She only knew about working people all day long, and the groups she came into contact with were all these women and men in the village. Zhao Wenlan was the only one who could be called by the name of lotion. Speaking, let alone anything else.

Zhao Wennan is a brat, if you ask her which kind of candy tastes better, she might be able to explain clearly.

Zhao Wenduo had no choice but to stand up if he didn't want to talk too much at this time, saying: "Just listen to her and change to a face cream." This salesperson is still good. idea.Before, it was almost impossible.They are also serving the public at the counter, but they have completely different performances.

Zhao Wenlan had always listened to Zhao Wenduo, but now that she has become the talker of the whole family, it is even more so.

Without further hesitation, I exchanged Xumei for a porcelain bottle of Yashuang, which cost a total of [-] yuan.The salesperson also gave a clam oil in a shell, so that you can take it back and wipe your hands and feet to prevent cracks in your hands and feet in winter.

The four sisters, who kept wiping their faces with it, felt a lot of emotion.

After buying cosmetics, I turned around and went to the clothing counter.

Zhao Wenlan has a good heart, and when she has money, she wants to add new clothes to her family, but when she arrives at the clothing counter, she realizes that the 40 yuan in her hand seems to be quite a lot, but it is not much to really use it. of.

Just a decent cotton coat costs five or sixty yuan, which is not even big enough to buy one.

Although Zhao Wenlan was a little disappointed, she was not depressed for too long. If she couldn't buy a coat, she could buy a shirt and long johns to wear underneath.After a short pause, I began to choose the right size and style.

Compared with the considerate and pretty saleswoman at the cosmetics counter before, the salesman here is an old man with a beard who doesn’t talk much. He only stretches out a long pole to take off the clothes on top when choosing a style. Spread it on the counter for a few people to look at it casually, without half a sentence of explanation and promotion, it's more like going to a self-selected shopping mall.

There are seven people in the Zhao family, and there are not many styles of underwear. Which one you choose, the color and gender are separated, which is actually very fast.The seven sets of clothes were divided into sizes and prices, and the total cost was 18 yuan.

A whole month's wages, two counter walks, two things, it took half of it.

Zhao Wenying said: "Second brother, these are enough. The whole family is not left behind, so I will buy them all."
arrive.Save the remaining twenty, don't move. "Xin said, our mother is not so good every time, that is, the family has entered the money, so that you can keep this month's salary. You will look at it next month, and I will ask you for it before it is opened.

Zhao Wenlan originally planned to buy something more, but she hesitated when she heard this, because she really had to pay attention to the long-term flow of money, and spent all the money at once, until it was gone when she really needed it, which would be a problem.

Those who have lived through the hard times can understand how difficult it is for a penny to be a hero.Even if you have a little money at the moment, you should really save some money.

"Then—let's go."

"Huh? Have you finished buying—" Zhao Wenduo had a pencil candy in her mouth, which Zhao Wennan stuffed into her hand just now.

"I don't want to buy any more. I've already bought so much. It's enough for us." Zhao Wenying winked at her, which meant that you should leave as soon as possible. If you keep buying and staying, your second sister's wallet will be deflated.

According to the situation of the family in the past, the sisters could not make new clothes all year round. This long underwear can be regarded as the first time, and the whole family has changed into new ones neatly.Compared with before, it is really good.

The children of poor families have been in charge of the family early, and they know what is going on at home at a young age, and they are sensible and not noisy.

The sisters also came here when they were young, and Zhao Wenduo was the one who was more sensible among them. When Zhao Wenying was her age, she thought she couldn't be like her.It can be said that her growth was an extremely rapid process. In less than a year, she grew from a silly child to a steady and smart little girl.Even though she is still seldom talkative and has a cold face, she can't change being the think tank of the whole family, and she can't help but seek her opinion on everything.

With her wide-eyed level, she could understand the intention contained in the other party's words with just one glance. Zhao Wenying did not doubt this at all. After speaking, she picked up a few bags of clothes and prepared to leave.

After stepping forward, Zhao Wenduo responded, "Oh, then I'll start buying."

Zhao Wenying: "...?" What is it? Ask them if they have finished buying. It's not that they want to leave, but that she wants to buy it too?

"Third brother, what do you want to buy?" Zhao Wenlan was also quite surprised. She agreed to spend the money when she came out today, and the money was in her bag. Why did she suddenly say that she wanted to buy clothes?

Zhao Wen and I didn't answer her, pointing to the curtain of clothes hanging in one piece, and said to the bearded uncle salesperson: "Take down the small floral shirt on the right and let me have a look—" The place where the clothes are hung is male. Women on the left and right, and the ones on the right are all women's models.

Zhao Wenlan was taken aback. She had just fallen in love with this dress, but this one cost 12 yuan, which was a bit expensive, and she was not willing to buy it.Furthermore, the whole family chose long johns and johns, so it was not appropriate for her to buy such an expensive shirt alone.

She is not willing to part with it, but if the third child really likes it, then buy one for her, and there is still 20 yuan in her pocket, which is enough.
