After saying goodbye to the girl with a bun-faced face, Su Cheng and Xu Damao joined the wave of buying and buying.

Because it's a rest day, the department store is crowded with people. Although most people don't have many pockets and have no purchasing power, they can't stand the base.

Except for the few people at the stall counters for some valuables, the other counters are crowded.

At this time, the advantages of flying bills are reflected. There is no need for point-to-point handover between the salesperson and the cashier, and directly throw the bills to the cashier through the flying line. Then the customers line up to pay the money and get the things.

So you can see the interesting scene of salesmen throwing bills in the mall. In the past, two people usually go out to buy things in department stores. One person buys things at the counter, and the other person queues up at the cashier early to pay the money, which saves the trouble of queuing back and forth, just like Su Cheng and Xu Damao now.

After Su Cheng told Xu Damao what to buy, he went to the cashier to line up first, confirmed that it was his own bill and paid the money. The cashier threw the stamped flying line back to the salesperson, and Xu Damao was able to quickly bring up the things.

This may seem like a lot of trouble, but if you imagine that there was no such convenient product entry and computer settlement as in the future, and that everyone was crowded with people buying goods, the practice of flying bills undoubtedly greatly improved the work efficiency of the mall.

In this way, the two spent the whole afternoon and finally bought all the things. As for why they didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative, they went to the department store for a lot of effort.

Then you have to know that this is an era of shortage of materials. Supply and marketing cooperatives are often in a relationship of supply and demand, and the goods inside are very incomplete.

Even if the country's materials were given priority to Sijiucheng at this time, the supply and marketing cooperatives were still in a state of supply and demand.

When Su Cheng and Xu Damao carried large bags and small bags out of the department store and returned to Siheyuan, it was already evening, and both of them were as tired as dogs.

In the envious and jealous eyes of the neighbors in the yard, Xu Damao was so happy after putting the things at Su Cheng's door.

One is that the old lady doesn't like him, so she won't be discouraged by the old lady.

The other is that he is really tired now, more tired than he goes to the countryside to play movies for his fellow villagers. At this time, he wishes he could go home and lie on the chair to enjoy himself.

Su Cheng looked at the small hills wrapped in oil paper in front of the door and finally breathed a sigh of relief, put the bicycle next to the corner of the wall.

Asked the old lady to help her, she began to sort out the things she bought in different categories.

By the way, what have you bought? Needless to say, the bicycle is also expensive. It also has a watch, which is packed with a ticket for Su Cheng and more than 100 yuan.

The second is a few pieces of clothes. Su Cheng bought two sets of Zhongshan suits for himself, which was considered a suit for him. In addition, he also bought two cotton coats according to the old lady's figure. It is also worth wearing it more comfortable. These clothes were covered with some cloth tickets and more than 100 yuan.

All that is left is tea, rice, oil, salt, and some tobacco, alcohol and candy. It looks like it is a bit of a small amount of cheap money, and the most expensive ones are only a few dollars, but the total amount is very objective, and it costs more than 200 yuan in total.

When the cleaning was almost done, the old man also led an old man with a dark face to his yard.

No need to guess, this should be Liu Gui, their famous bricklayer in the area of ​​Nantongluo Lane.

After a few greetings, the old man walked away because he had something to do,

Su Cheng asked the old lady to stay in the house, and he led Liu Gui to the house next to him.

After cleaning up by Ergen and his friends, the floor and doors and windows in the house were very clean. As for the tables and chairs left by their ex-boys in the house, although they were still useful, they were all distributed to neighbors in need by Su Cheng. He was not used to using other people's things, so he just asked someone to make a few pieces of furniture, and asked him not to short of money.

Liu Gui entered the house, looked around inside and out, then looked at Su Cheng and said,

"What do you want to do with this house? Do you simply paint the cracked areas with cement, or do you paint them all?"

Su Cheng thought about it and felt that it would be too ugly to directly see the cracked place on the lake. So he just made a big rectification. He said,

"Master Liu, paint all the walls aside. You have to repair the kang in the room. You can also show me the cigarette windows on the stove to see if they need to be reinforced."

Liu Gui thought about it,

"Then the project volume is a bit too large. It's been agreed to cost fifteen yuan, but I can't get it."

Su Cheng was not surprised, after all, cement and other things were all out, and he said immediately.

"Master Liu, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"It's at least thirty."

The price is not low, it is almost worth a worker's monthly salary. Liu Gui glanced at Su Cheng and said uncertainly.

"Do you think it's true? If not, we'll follow the fifteenth standard. I'll help you repair all the cracked areas, so you can live comfortably. There's no need to spend this in vain."

"No, thirty is thirty."

This is equivalent to renovating the house. Su Cheng felt that it was not expensive for thirty yuan. Then he thought about it and walked to the wall that shared with the house he now lives in.

"Master Liu, the room next door is lived by my old lady. You can see that you can drill a door here and open the two rooms?"

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Liu Gui's dark face showed a look of embarrassment, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing this, Su Cheng thought that this wall was like the load-bearing walls in later generations and could not be chiseled, so he asked now.

"Master Liu, is this wall not chiseled, otherwise it would turn two houses into dangerous houses?"

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Liu Gui's face turned slightly red and he said quietly,

"No, there is no problem with chiseling a door, and it will not affect the structure of the house, just~"

Su Cheng:???

Liu Gui said hesitantly,

"You have to add more money!"

If you think you have less money, I am still worried that I can't connect the two houses. Thinking of this, Su Cheng laughed silently,

"Master Liu, are your surname Ding?"

When Liu Gui heard this, he said dissatisfiedly.

"You call me Master Liu, why do you ask me if my surname is Ding?"

Su Cheng: But you look very similar to a person named Ding!

Su Cheng secretly teased himself, then said seriously,

"Master Liu, how much does it cost to dig a door?"

Liu Gui thought for a while, stretched out his five fingers and said,

"Five pieces!"

Then he was afraid that Su Cheng felt that he was offering a random offer, so he immediately explained,

"This is a meticulous job, and it takes some effort. It's not just a hole in the wall. If you don't have to do it, the entire wall will fall."

Su Cheng nodded, expressed his understanding, and then said,

"Master Liu, it's five dollars, right? No problem, but you have to be more attentive to me!"

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Liu Gui showed a honest smile and patted his chest,

"That's a must!"

Then the two discussed the time to repair the house and agreed to start construction tomorrow and strive to complete it in three days.

...

It was getting darker and the evening lights were on. Su Cheng and the old lady were having supper, but the yard suddenly started to make a noise.

An old man hurriedly knocked on the door of Su Cheng's house and asked.

"Old lady, Chengzi, did you see Qin Huairu in the afternoon?"

The deaf old lady asked in surprise, putting down the bowl in her hand,

"Zhonghai, what's wrong with Qin Huairu?"

Yi Zhonghai explained,

"Just just now, Qin Huairu's two children, Xiaodang and Huaihua, found my house crying and said that Qin Huairu was gone. I asked the people in the yard to search them all, but they didn't see each other, so they went door to door to ask."

Then Yi Zhonghai said worriedly,

"Old lady, since you haven't seen each other, I'll leave first."

Qin Huairu is gone, they are all from the same courtyard. If you can do your best, you can do your best. Su Cheng took a few bites of food and stood up and said to the old lady.

"Grandma, you eat first, I'll go look for it with the first uncle."

After saying that, Su Cheng took his coat and followed the old man out, and at the same time he was thinking,

How come Qin Huairu disappeared? The movies and TV series I watched before were not like this!
