When Tian Shao came back from running around outside, Li Aihua and Li Hongxing were called up by Aunt Li. After washing up, the three of them went to the canteen to have breakfast.
After everyone left, Aunt Li said: "I called the provincial textile factory yesterday to ask, and they said no one from Yongning County came to their factory to do business. Ayuan, these two children were out all day yesterday. What did you say?
Where are they going?"
Li Yuan felt that she just liked to think wildly, and said: "They don't necessarily go to the textile factory to do things? You just worry too much. As long as the two of them are safe and sound here, we can wait until they are sent to the car tomorrow."
.”
As for where the two of them go to do business, it's not like children have to worry about it.
Aunt Li became worried when she heard this: "He was not satisfied with the girl that he gave to Fu Guo two days ago. What kind of girl do you think he is looking for? He is already twenty-one, and he is not satisfied with the important matter of marriage.
Not caring at all."
"Aihua is still a few months older than Fuguo. My elder brother and sister-in-law don't care. Why are you worried that Fuguo is still a boy?"
Aunt Li was annoyed and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, aren't you in a hurry? They were so frightened by what happened not long ago that they didn't dare to rush Aihua any more. Fortunately, our Red Star has already made a decision, otherwise I would be afraid.
"
Who among the girls here would not be afraid when they hear this. This guy named Yan is so scheming. If his eldest brother and sister-in-law hadn't been alert to Aihua, his life would have been ruined.
Li Yuan was very angry when he found out about this. He said: "Brother asked Aihua to come to the provincial capital this time. I think she should be allowed to come out to relax. When they come back later, you must not mention this matter!"
"
Aunt Li is both funny and angry. She is such a senseless person!
Li Hongxing bought fried noodles and soy milk. After putting the things down, he smiled and said: "The most delicious things here are fried noodles and fried rice cakes. I'm sure you'll want to eat them again. But there are no rice cakes today. Let's wait and see in the morning."
Seeing that the fried rice noodles were filled with both eggs and meat, Li Aihua smiled and said, "This is too extravagant for you. You don't have to spend so much money."
Li Hongxing raised the corners of his mouth and said, "A bowl of fried noodles is nothing. I'll treat you to something more delicious at noon."
Tian Shao secretly thought, if her mother saw this breakfast, her heart would probably hurt again. Therefore, whether now or in future generations, the gap between rich and poor has always been very large, but no one dares to show off their wealth now.
After breakfast, the three of them took the bus to the department store. Because they spent a lot of time on the road, it was already past nine o'clock when they arrived at the department store, and the door was bustling with people.
Nowadays, you can buy a complete range of things in this department store, including needles and threads, clothing, quilt covers, hardware and kitchen utensils, sewing machines, bicycles and clocks, and occasionally TV sets. Of course, TV sets are in short supply and will be sold out soon after word gets out that they are in short supply.
Li Hongxing asked Tian Shao: "What do you want to buy? Go buy your things first."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "I don't have much money this time, so I won't buy anything for the time being. I will buy it later when I have money."
Li Hongxing thinks Tian Shao is very interesting. In the impression, girls from the countryside will feel inferior when they see city people, but this girl didn't say it frankly at all. But the more she does this, the less likely she will look down on him, because such people all have
Confident.
Li Aihua said: "Xiao Shao, you helped me so much before and I didn't even thank you properly. You can pick something you like later and I will give it to you."
Seeing that Tian Shao was about to speak, Li Aihua said firmly: "If you treat me as a good sister, don't refuse. Compared with what you made for me, a gift is already very light."
Tian Shao didn't shirk when he saw her like this.
Li Hongxing was filled with questions, but this was not the right time to ask. She smiled and said, "Tian Shao, you helped my sister, and I, as a younger sister, must also express my gratitude."
Although Tian Shao is incomparable to her sisters, his temperament and way of doing things are to her liking, and she is willing to make friends with him.
Li Aihua smiled and said: "Xiao Shao, you are so proud that you can make Hongxing make an exception. Thank you very much, Sister Hongxing."
Seeing the two sisters singing in harmony, Tian Shao smiled and agreed.
As soon as Li Hongxing entered the department store, she went straight to the counter selling skin care products. As soon as the three of them walked past the counter, the older sister came up to greet her: "Hongxing, a batch of Pechoin just came in yesterday. Take a look."
"Show it to me."
Tian Shao looked up at the things on the counter. After looking for a while, she saw Harry's Oil. This stuff is very effective in cracking chilblains. Tian Shao said to the young salesperson: "Comrade, bring me ten boxes of clam oil."
"
The young girl looked up at her and said expressionlessly: "Each person can only buy two boxes at most."
Tian Shao was surprised and asked: "Why is there a purchase limit on Harry Oil?"
The purchase restriction on rice, grains and meat is understandable, but since these things cannot be eaten or worn, the purchase restriction is very strange.
The young girl said nonchalantly: "Seven cents a box, two boxes an industrial ticket."
"Does this also require industrial votes?"
"If you don't have a ticket, just leave."
Tian Shao has become accustomed to the behavior of these salesmen. Seven cents per box is not expensive, but two boxes for an industrial fee is not cost-effective.
When Li Hongxing heard the commotion, he came over and asked with an unkind expression: "Each person can only buy ten boxes of Harry Oil? And two boxes require an industrial paper. When did this happen? Why didn't I know?"
The salesperson who had just greeted Li Hongxing was older. He saw something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hongxing, it's like this. The supply of Harry oil in Shanghai this year is half less than last year. Someone got the news and resold it secretly.
To prevent this situation, the leader stipulates that each person can only buy two boxes. But this little girl is your friend, so it’s okay to buy more."
Li Hongxing asked with a cold face: "What about the industrial tickets?"
For the person she brought to be looked down upon by the salesperson was tantamount to losing her face, which she couldn't bear.
The older salesperson smiled apologetically and said that the younger salesperson was confused. Harry Oil did not want industrial tickets: "Red Star, since this girl is your friend, you can buy as much as you want."
Li Hongxing asked Tian Shao why he bought so much Harry oil.
Tian Shao explained: "My parents' hands will crack in the winter and become painful and itchy. This Harry's oil is very effective and I want to buy more. Sister Hongxing, since it is a regulation in the department store, I will buy two boxes."
The older salesperson smiled and said, "Ten boxes of Harry's Oil is no problem. Girl, Xiao Fang is new here and is not sensible, so please don't argue with her."
Whether it is a supply and marketing cooperative or a department store, the salespersons all have the same moral character. Tian Shao has become accustomed to it and is too lazy to get angry: "Then give me twenty boxes!"
When the market economy comes, society will teach them how to behave. If they don't change their domineering attitude then, they will be laid off!
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you right now."
Li Hongxing bought a set of Pechoin Somersault Oil and other products, and then ordered two boxes of Yashuang to give to Li Aihua and Tian Shao. This Yashuang is what people in later generations call abalm, and it is very popular now.
Tian Shao did not want to accept gifts for free and insisted on paying for them himself.
