Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 976 Convincing Gu Xiaoshuang

After leaving the restaurant, Wang An looked at Gu Xiaoshuang's tattered clothes. After thinking for a while, he took Wang Yi and Gu Xiaoshuang to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The main thing is that she is a good little girl, but she is treated like a beggar. Although Wang An is not a pushover, he really can't stand it.

Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Yicai asked:
"Brother, what are we doing here at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Wang An said as he got out of the car:

"Walk around and see what you want to buy. Both of you come down."

After Wang An finished speaking, he straightened his big hat and took the lead to walk into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Going straight to the clothing area, Wang An glanced at Gu Xiaoshuang's body again, then pointed at the clothes hanging on the counter and said to the salesperson:
"The white shirt, take two of the smallest size."

Then, Wang An pointed to a pair of dark blue pants and said:
"For those pants, take two pairs of the smallest size as well."

After hesitating for a moment and looking at Gu Xiaoshuang's feet again, Wang An continued:

"Canvas shoes, get a pair of 35"

After taking the shoes, Wang An turned around and handed them to Gu Xiaoshuang and said:

"Try it on and see if it fits."

Gu Xiaoshuang was stunned when she heard this, then she waved her hands in fear and said:
"Brother, I don't want it. I really don't want it."

Wang An glanced at Gu Xiaoshuang and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Sandy."

Gu Xiaoshuang was about to cry, but she still waved her hands in panic and said:

"Brother, I really can't have it."

Wang An didn't say anything, but he raised his big eyes and looked at Gu Xiaoshuang with a vicious expression, as if he was ready to beat Gu Xiaoshuang at any time.

At this time, Wang Yi pulled Gu Xiaoshuang's sleeve and whispered:
"You can try it now. My elder brother is really evil and can beat people very hard."

Wang Yi's words almost made Wang An laugh out loud. The main reason was that no matter how hard he beat someone, he could never do that to a little girl.

Besides, how can I be evil? This is pure nonsense.

So Wang An glared at Wang Yi fiercely with his eyelids.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoshuang looked at Wang An timidly, then took the shoes hesitantly.

I have to say that Wang An's eye for tailoring is really accurate, because after Gu Xiaoshuang put on the shoes, they fit her feet perfectly.

But even so, Wang An still asked with a cold face:
"Are your feet squeezed?"

Wang An didn't want to have a cold face, mainly because Gu Xiaoshuang was too stubborn. If he showed her a little kindness, she would definitely take off her shoes and then say, "Brother, I don't want it."

Gu Xiaoshuang glanced at Wang An secretly, then whispered:

"It doesn't squeeze my feet, it fits just right."

Wang An ignored Gu Xiaoshuang and turned to the salesperson and said:

"Get another pair, and get the 35 one."

At this moment, Wang Yi suddenly said to Wang An:

"Brother, I just have a pair of sneakers."

Wang An was taking out money when his hand froze, then he rolled his eyes at Wang Yi and said:

"Didn't your sister-in-law make you two pairs of cloth shoes? When do you want to wear them?"

Gu Xiaoshuang said immediately:

"Brother, I don't..." But Gu Xiaoshuang had just said half of her words when Wang An turned around and interrupted her directly:
"you shut up."

Gu Xiaoshuang blinked and dared not speak.

Wang An glanced at Wang Yi again, then said to the salesperson:

"Could you please give me another pair of 40-yuan shoes? Then I can calculate how much they cost in total?"

Upon hearing what Wang An said, the corners of Wang Yi's mouth couldn't help but slightly rise, because he was the only one in the family who wore size 40 shoes, so the pair of shoes that Wang An wanted must be for him.

After Wang An finished speaking, the salesperson muttered to himself as he fiddled with the abacus:

"A pair of shoes is 8 yuan, 6 is 5 yuan, a shirt is 13 yuan, two are 10 yuan, a pair of pants is 5 yuan, two are 21 yuan."

Then the salesperson said:
"Without cloth coupons, it's 58 yuan. With cloth coupons and 6 meters of cloth coupons, it's 57 yuan."

It can be seen from the purchase of clothes and pants that the role, or value, of cloth coupons has been getting lower and lower.

6 meters of cloth coupons are only worth 1 yuan.

Wang An handed the salesperson six Great Unity and cloth coupons and said to him casually:

"Give me two more small cloth bags."

In this era, no matter what you buy, customers have to find a way to pack it themselves. Plastic bags did not exist. It was probably in the 90s that disposable plastic bags began to become widely used.

When walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Xiaoshuang was holding the cloth bag of clothes in a trance, as if she was holding a priceless treasure, and she was a little at a loss.

When sitting on the sidecar, Gu Xiaoshuang suddenly burst into tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing this, Wang An and Wang Yi couldn't help but look at each other, and then stared at Gu Xiaoshuang crying.

The main thing is that this thing is really hard to comfort, and I don’t know how to comfort it.

After crying for a while, Gu Xiaoshuang said timidly:

"Brother, I can't take these things. I can't afford them."

As she spoke, Gu Xiaoshuang wanted to return the bag of noodles in her hand to Wang An.

Wang An looked at Wang Yi, then at Gu Xiaoshuang and said helplessly:

"Why are you so straightforward? You can't return it after you buy it, and no one else can wear it."

After organizing his words, Wang An pointed at the flour bag with his finger and continued:
"You know how much these things cost. When you return to school, write them down in a notebook. When you graduate and have money, you can return them to me, okay?"

This is the best way Wang An can think of to deal with such a person with a strong sense of self-esteem.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoshuang still wanted to shirk responsibility, Wang An continued:
"If you feel bad about it, you can give me some interest."

Without waiting for Gu Xiaoshuang to speak, Wang An said:
"Okay, that's settled then. Stop thinking about those useless things. Study hard and you'll have everything you need in the future."

Seeing that Gu Xiaoshuang didn't say anything and just kept crying, Wang An was really a little impatient. If Wang Yi didn't have any feelings for this child, Wang An wouldn't want to pay attention to her.

In fact, the reason why Gu Xiaoshuang kept thinking about refusing was nothing more than her self-esteem of "not accepting charity".

It’s like accepting help from others and then you yourself are begging.

So, Wang An began to give Gu Xiaoshuang a serious talk:

"Xiao Shuang, what you have now, if you put it nicely, you can call it 'guts'; if you put it bluntly, it's actually 'useless persistence'.

"You have to know that 'help' and 'charity' are two completely different things. Besides."

After much persuasion, Gu Xiaoshuang finally calmed down and said to Wang An with a smile:
"Okay, I understand, brother."

I have to admit that if Wang An wants to persuade someone, it is not a difficult task. It just depends on whether Wang An wants to waste his saliva.
