Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

"You've already made it? You're quite nimble, kid! But no matter how nimble you are, you still have to pay attention to the time and leave work in good time!"

Liu Guangqi smiled.

Then he looked out the window. It was already getting dark. "I was so lost in thought that I forgot the time."

He picked up the palm-sized component with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes:

“Just tried it!”

"The heat is quite even, but the power needs to be adjusted."

Wang Jianguo leaned over and touched the base of the component. It was just warm. "You're amazing! You came up with so much useful stuff in just one afternoon!"

"I finally see that you have real talent and knowledge."

talking.

He patted Liu Guangqi on the shoulder and said, "No wonder you were promoted to assistant engineer before graduation. You really are quite capable."

"With your tenacity, what can't you accomplish?"

Liu Guangqi felt a little embarrassed by the compliment: "Team Leader, you are too kind. I was just thinking about it."

"Stop thinking about it and get off work!"

Wang Jianguo grabbed him and walked out. "Research and development also requires a balance between work and rest. Do you think this is going to be like working yourself to death? Rest well today, and you'll be refreshed tomorrow, so you can do research more smoothly."

He locked the door and reminded her, "You can't lose the materials here. It's not too late to deal with them tomorrow."

Liu Guangqi laughed: "I'll do as you say!"

The two of them were chatting for a while.

Liu Guangqi also started packing up his things.

Suddenly, he felt in his pocket and touched the bicycle ticket. He then planned to take advantage of the opportunity after get off work to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the bicycle back.

.......

Chapter 22: State-owned Store! Buy a Bicycle!

From the Ministry of First Machine Building.

The evening breeze, carrying the heat of late summer, blew across his cheeks, blowing away Liu Guangqi's fatigue in the R&D department.

soon.

He then came to the state-owned shopping mall.

Department stores are also state-owned units, and compared to supply and marketing cooperatives, they are undoubtedly more comprehensive in terms of large items.

The familiar slogans are still on the wall: develop the economy and ensure supply.

Very characteristic of this era!

The department store was still bustling with people, and the air was filled with the mixed smell of soap, cloth, and fruit.

Liu Guangqi just stepped over the threshold.

Then I heard familiar shouts coming one after another——

"Comrade, you need a ticket!"

"Weigh me two pounds of trough cake!"

"Comrade..."

Liu Guangqi smiled and walked straight to the bicycle counter.

Outside, there is a row of Fei Ge, Forever, and Phoenix brand bicycles on display, each one polished to a shine.

The bells on the handlebars reflected the light.

Behind the counter stood a young girl with pigtails, about twenty years old, wearing a blue work suit and a small red flower with the words "Service Model" pinned on her chest.

See Liu Guangqi coming!

The original salesgirl was just issuing tickets to other customers.

now.

After seeing Liu Guangqi, he subconsciously straightened the corner of his clothes.

"Comrade...you want to buy a bicycle?"

“Do you have a bicycle ticket?”

The saleswoman's voice was a little softer than usual, and her eyes involuntarily turned to Liu Guangqi's face.

To know!

The salesperson is one of the eight members and has a very high status.

When facing ordinary customers, they have a completely careless attitude of "buy or not". Some supply and marketing cooperatives even have slogans prohibiting beating or scolding customers.

This is especially true in state-owned stores!

There is no shortage of customers, so the attitude is not good.

But the salesgirl was able to ask in such a soft voice at this moment, which showed that Liu Guangqi was really attracted by his handsomeness.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Liu Guangqi wore a simple white shirt today.

The collar was tied neatly, the hair on the forehead was slightly lifted by the wind, the nose bridge was high, and the jaw line was clean and neat.

no doubt!

In the eyes of this salesgirl, she is even prettier than the one in the picture.

Liu Guangqi heard this.

He also smiled and took out the ticket: "Yes, I have a ticket."

talking.

He handed over the bicycle ticket and asked with a smile, "Could you please see which one I can choose?"

……

……

When the salesgirl took the ticket, her fingertips accidentally touched Liu Guangqi's hand, and she shrank back as if burned.

When he lowered his head to check, his ears turned red:

"There are three types: Fei Ge, Yongjiu, and Phoenix. Fei Ge costs 150 yuan, Yongjiu 180 yuan, and Phoenix 170 yuan. They are all in high demand."

"Comrade, which one do you want?"

She looked up furtively.

She happened to meet Liu Guangqi's gaze and her cheeks turned red.

He quickly grabbed the abacus and pretended to do the math.

The beads clattered, but he couldn't figure out the number for a long time.

"Let it be forever."

Liu Guangqi thought for a while and remembered that the frame of Yongjiu was made of military steel, which was resistant to wear and tear.

this time.

He didn't spend much money. When he graduated and returned home, he had saved more than a thousand yuan. He spent more than a hundred yuan in small amounts, and now he still has a lot of money left.

Buying a bicycle is not a big burden for him.

"okay!"

The salesgirl then quickly issued the invoice.

Amidst the rustling sound of the pen tip scratching across the paper, I couldn't help but ask, "Comrade, you look unfamiliar. Which unit are you from?"

"First Ministry of Machine Building!"

Liu Guangqi answered casually with a smile.

His eyes fell on a dark green Forever bicycle. The seat was covered with brand new black leather, and the rims were so shiny that you could see a person's reflection in them.

"No wonder!"

The salesgirl showed admiration on her face.

She calculated the price and carefully tucked the ticket into her account book. "One hundred and eighty yuan in total, plus a bicycle ticket."

Liu Guangqi counted out the money skillfully.

The second saleswoman smiled and pushed out a Forever brand bicycle from the side.

At the same time, a registration form was handed over:

"Please register your name, work unit, and address. I'll go to the door to get the license plate later."

When registering!

The salesgirl's eyes always lingered on Liu Guangqi's hand holding the pen, intentionally or unintentionally.

In her perspective.

Liu Guangqi's hands were long and clean, with neatly trimmed nails, completely different from the rough men she often saw in department stores.

Until Liu Guangqi turned around with the registration form and went to register the license plate!

She was still standing behind the counter, looking at his back, forgetting to put down the rag in her hand.
