Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 167

When we left the Meiying Studio, the sky darkened in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Shan raised his head and looked at the sky, only to feel a few big words flashing in the gray-blue clouds: I can't hold it in any longer.

"Grandma's," after cursing, Jiang Shan, who forgot to take his umbrella again, trotted towards the bus stop.

Actually, it's not that Jiang Shan is forgetful. The main reason is that there are only two umbrellas at home, and they are both long.

Therefore, as long as it didn't rain when he went out, he didn't bother to carry it.

The heavy rain was quite bearable, and it wasn't until the moment Jiang Shan squeezed out of the bus three stops later that it started to rain down.

"Grandma's," another burst of thoughts, secretly sighing at the ill-fated Comrade Jiangshan, trotted up.

"Second brother,"

In Pujiang Department Store, the closer to the watch counter, the stronger Jiang He's back.

"Are you done?" Jiang He turned his head and glanced at the third child who hurried over.

For a moment, Jiang Shan could only focus on his watch: "It's not a big deal, so I just went over and did a small experiment."

Going to the Meiying Studio for an experiment was such a bizarre event, but in Jiang He's ears, everything went as usual: "Successful?"

"what?"

"Experiment."

"very successful."

"That's good," Jiang He pointed to a women's watch in the glass counter, and said, "I want to buy this watch for Xiaoxiao."

Following the direction of the second brother's finger, Jiang Shan took a walk and looked over.

He really didn't expect that the watch styles of this era could actually dazzle him.

What are all steel, semi steel, with or without diamonds, black dials, white dials...

Even the color and width of the wristband can make you tangled for a long time.

Now the second child refers to this female watch, which is indeed small and exquisite.

With an oval white dial and a dark red calfskin strap, Jiang Shan looked at the price tag next to the watch: 228 yuan.

"Hey, before I came, you already thought about it?"

"Well, I'm even optimistic about both of us."

After finishing speaking, Jiang He pointed to the two diamond watches next to him: "All steel watches are around 150."

"Okay," Jiang Shan didn't care about this at all: "I'll pick two more pieces for my parents and we can buy them together."

"Are the coupons enough?"

"Don't worry," Jiang Shan took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to his second brother: "A while ago, Director Hu of the translation factory gave it to me."

"So many?" Jiang He opened his eyes and felt relieved: "Do you want to buy one for the handle of the knife?"

Jiang Shan was categorical: "What kind of watch is a little girl wearing? It's not safe outside recently."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

So, under the attention of the two salesmen, the two Jiang brothers bought three men's watches and two women's watches as quickly as possible.

"Here," Jiang Shan officially handed over the watch: "Happy wedding!"

Jiang He glanced at the strap in his hand, and couldn't help but smile: "Thanks."

Today, the gift that the third child gave himself was not cheap.

Long ago, Jiang He had always wanted a watch of his own.

In this era, wearing a watch is not only for convenience, but also for young people's yearning for material civilization.

"We're all brothers, what's there to thank you for?" Seeing that the second elder brother rarely smiled so long, Jiang Shan was also happy:
"What are you doing right now? Going to buy a sewing machine? But how did I hear that Miss Xiaoxiao wouldn't step on that thing at all?"

"Whether she steps on it or not, I have to buy it,"

"Sure, let's go and have a look."

These days, it is popular to get married in three turns and one ring.

But Lu Xiao had already used the bicycle and the radio, and if he didn't prepare the other two, Jiang He would never be able to pass his own test.

In fact, neither Comrade Lu Xiao nor her family members have made any demands on Jiang He since confirming their relationship and obtaining a certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau.

But the more this happened, the more Jiang He wanted to arrange everything for Lu Xiao.

The two big red suitcases at home were already filled to the brim for him.

The two brothers walked all the way in the mall, and when they passed the electric fan counter, they stopped at the same time.

At present, there is only one floor fan at home, and it has to be moved to the female dormitory next door from time to time.

The brothers have long been thinking about buying another one, but each time they were put off by the huge crowds of people.

"My God," Jiang Shan scratched his neck and glanced behind the line: "The people in this line can't even see their tails."

"The tail is in the corridor." Jiang He was deeply touched: "That's where I started the line that day."

The key is that in many cases, the salesperson notifies that the order is out of stock before half of the line is reached.

In the midsummer season, the most in-demand commodity is the electric fan.

"Is there a queue for the sewing machine?"

"No, I've already seen it."

After tossing and tossing for a while, the two brothers of the Jiang family finally lifted a dead cardboard box onto a tricycle.

According to the old rules, Jiang Shan still sits firmly in the car bucket.

"Second brother," after lighting a cigarette, Jiang Shan looked at the piles of objects on the tricycle: "Have you spent a lot of money recently?"

"It's okay, it's all worth spending." Staring at the three-wheeled Jiang He, he took a cigarette lit by the third child: "Besides, the most expensive watch is what you can pay for."

"Brother," Jiang Shan asked directly, "Have you ever thought about going to work in a regular unit?"

He seemed to have heard from his second brother before that he only wanted to stay at home freely and make money.

But now that the opportunity is right in front of him, the first thing Jiang Shan thinks of is his second brother.

"Where do you go?" Jiang He asked casually, "Where do you go? You're not as comfortable as you are at home."

"What about units like Meiying Studio?"

"Beauty Film Studio?" Jiang He's car stopped, and after more than ten seconds, he said, "Forget it, I'm used to being comfortable, and besides, I also want to help you and the boss."

"Success, I'll listen to you first." Jiang Shan didn't want to force the second brother: "Anyway, when you want to go, you can tell me."

"Look at your tone," Jiang He smiled and puffed out a puff of smoke, "You speak like you own a factory."

"In a few days, it won't be difficult to open a factory," Jiang Shan shook his legs and said with a smile, "Just wait and see."

"Okay, I will definitely help you then."

On the main road in Pujiang City, the two brothers on the tricycle chatted about their plans one after the other.

The deeper the conversation, the happier the laugh.

As dusk approached, the sky completely cleared up.

Jiang Chuan and Ying Ruhua walked on the sidewalk laughing and laughing all the way.

The rays of light that turned the sky red splashed on the little girls' bodies, adding a touch of soft silken light to their snow-white necks.

The two street sneakers, who seemed to be in their twenties, started following them as soon as they walked out of the cinema.

The obscene expression that couldn't be concealed made the passersby couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Well, you can tell it's not a good bird at a glance.

But these two didn't care about the eyes of others at all.

He was just thinking about which intersection he should be at, blocking the two young and innocent-looking girls in front of him and trying to act like a hooligan.

Gradually, the distance between the front and back pairs is getting closer and closer.

The side faces of the two little girls looking at each other and smiling from time to time made the two behind them even more itchy.

"Little sister," one of the men, who only wore a blue vest, leaned forward with a narrowed smile, "Where are you going to play?"

The tune that seemed to pop out of the gutter made Jiang Chuan and Ying Ruhua stop in shock.

Goosebumps popped up on the back of his neck for no reason.

Ying Ruhua, who was frozen in place and unable to move, held Jiang Chuan's hand tightly, not daring to turn her head.

Jiang Chuan, who usually felt that he was bold, started to tremble now.

Bravely, he turned his head slightly and glanced.

I didn't notice Shang Yu's fighting ability before, but after taking a glance...even the strength to shout was gone.

Recently, there have been a lot of blind rumors, and I never thought that I really met myself.

Besides, what kind of blind stream is this? It's a proper two-stream hooligan.

1979 was the peak year for educated youth returning to the city.

As if in the blink of an eye, many young people emerged from Pujiang City like the tide of Qiantang River.

In addition, young students who graduated from junior and senior high schools in this city no longer need to go to the countryside to join the queue and settle down.

Without exception, they are collectively referred to as "unemployed youth".

The term "unemployed" hadn't actually been used a few weeks ago.

Until the various media received a unified notice from the Propaganda Department, in order to appease the restless hearts of unemployed youths.

From now on, "unemployed youth" will be renamed "unemployed youth".

Every young person must understand that there will be hope if you wait with peace of mind.

Having been a farmer for many years, a young man who returns to the city and can't adapt to anything can really wait with peace of mind?
It's not that easy.

There is a lot of people, and the resentment is hard to calm down.

As a result, there are many unemployed young people on the market who are so-called "cannot get into big troubles, but keep getting into small troubles".

For a while, Jiang Chuan held Ying Ruhua's trembling hand tightly.

"Don't...don't be afraid."

"..." Ying Ruhua tried her best to answer, but unfortunately she couldn't make any sound at all.

"Why don't you talk?" A loud laugh came from behind: "There will be a show of "Zorro" at seven o'clock later, do you want to go to the cinema together?"

"Don't worry, we treat you..."

The voice hadn't landed yet, just when the two guys were about to step forward one by one.

"You two are courting death!"

There were two bangs, and before Erhuo could react, two iron fists struck out of thin air.

Then, there were two more punches, hitting the face directly.

"what!"

At this moment, the two girls who saw the savior finally cried out, and quickly moved aside hand in hand.

The two of them howled loudly, and the crowd at the intersection looked over one after another, including a tricycle across the road.

"Is that the handle of a knife?"

"I am grass."

The two brothers bounced off the tricycle with a bang, and ran to the little sister across the street.

"Knife handle, don't be afraid."

"Brother is here."

The three of them were wrestling into a ball, making it impossible for the two brothers who came at high speed to find someone to attack.

"Brother, are those two wearing sweat vests?" Jiang Chuan yelled from the side.

"That, and that." Ying Ruhua, who was about to cry out, also pointed.

Before the two younger sisters explained clearly, Jiang Shan also spotted one of them.

"Li Jinzhi? Why are you?"

Just when the second guy finally reversed the disadvantage, the Jiang family brothers joined the battle in time.

In an instant, layers of fog billowed on the sidewalk.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom...

In just a few minutes, Jiang Shan and Li Jinzhi began to drag the second child desperately.

"Don't dare, never dare again."

"We didn't do anything."

The couple lay sprawled on the ground with swollen eyes and waved their hands, moaning and crying: "Drag him away quickly..."

Jiang He's thumping just now made them both think they were going to die here.

"Don't appear around here in the future," Jiang Shan warned while holding down the furious second brother, "Let us see you again, and break the dog legs of you two."

Unable to break out of the encirclement, the river kept breathing heavily.

Under the whispered reminder of the third child, he also began to silently calm his breathing.

"Get out of here."

Under Jiang Shan's final roar, Erhuo, who supported each other, quickly ran out of sight.

"Brother," Jiang Chuan couldn't help but ran over and hugged his arm.

Jiang Shan hugged the little girl's shoulders, comfortingly said: "Let's go home with brother first!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. When passing by the trembling Ying Ruhua, he naturally embraced her and said, "Go home."

Home, different from the past quiet.

Li Jinzhi, who wiped the purple potion all over his shoulders, held a porcelain jar and didn't dare to say anything.

"Fortunately, I met Comrade Li Jinzhi,"

Jiang Shan, who was really shocked, looked at the girl sitting on the two small benches with a serious face: "Otherwise, it's still worth it."

"I...then what," Jiang Chuan held a bottle of purple potion aggrievedly: "Finally finished the exam, we...we just want to go to a movie."

"Brother, what were you talking about two days ago?"

"Don't go out at night if you have nothing to do."

"what about you?"

"It's not dark yet."

"You can meet ghosts even before it's dark, but what if it's completely dark?"

"Can……"

"But what's the matter?" Jiang Shan, who never loses his temper, glared at the little girl and said angrily, "You two students, why don't you stay at home and read books every day, why run around? You are not allowed to go out around the evening."

Jiang Chuan pouted, not daring to speak out.

Ying Ruhua really dare not speak.

With a cold face, Jiang He said nothing!

After a while, the second brother with a cold face and a soft heart said: "If you want to watch a movie in the future, call the second brother."

"Hey."

"That... Manager Jiang," Li Jinzhi hurriedly said as the atmosphere became more relaxed, "Director Jiang asked me to inform you that all the goods have been sold."

"Oh?"

Hearing the good news brought by the other party, Jiang Shan, who had a serious face before, switched to a smiling face in a second: "It's really hard for the comrades of Jiangning Toy Factory."

"Hehe, it's all we should do."

"Comrade Li Jinzhi, just make a phone call for such things in the future. I made you travel so hard, and you were... injured."

Jiang Shan looked apologetically at Li Jinzhi, who had failed.

Fortunately, this guy came in time today, otherwise those two guys would definitely have their legs broken.

"I have something important to do today." After speaking, Li Jinzhi took out a magazine from his backpack, and handed it over respectfully with both hands: "Thank you for borrowing this book from me last time."

"It's just a book." Looking at the other party's posture, Jiang Shan was obviously startled: "You just keep it and read it, there is no need to make a special trip."

"No, this book has helped me a lot," Li Jinzhi said with sincere eyes, "I must hand it over to you intact."

"Then...heh,"

At this time, in Jiang Shan's eyes, Li Jinzhi was no different from a bookworm.

He smiled and took the book in the other party's hand: "Okay, as long as it helps you."

On the other side, Jiang He silently glanced at the book in the third child's hand.

His brows twitched, it turned out that the magazine he couldn't find was given to an outsider by this kid.
