Grandpa Han looked at his granddaughter whom he had not seen for almost a month.
"Is everything going well outside?"
"It went well. This time I opened a shoe store in the city, selling leather shoes."
"You two, stay here while I spread the egg pancakes."
Grandma Han held a handful of leeks in her hand. The leeks were still small at this time, so she was only willing to cut off a bunch for her granddaughter to eat.
"Nai, please stop working. Dongmei and I are going out to eat. These are the leather shoes I brought back for you. They are comfortable to wear. You are wearing them now. Don't be reluctant to part with them."
Grandma Han took it over with a smile. "You also bought me some leather shoes? They're really nice."
"Master, this is for you. I'm leaving. It's time for Dongmei to arrive."
The old couple looked at the leather shoes on the kang and felt quite uncomfortable. They had never seen such beautiful shoes in their entire lives, let alone worn them.
Neither of the two sons bought them shoes. In the end, it was the granddaughter who thought about them.
"Old lady, put it on."
"You too. We are all wearing them. Yuanfang will be happy to see them."
When Han Yuanfang returned home, Han Dongmei was really waiting.
"Did you go to your grandmother's house?"
"Yes, I sent them the rice I brought back yesterday. Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
"Ahem, I'm still thinking about going out to eat together."
"Hey, I'll accompany you. My mother will be here soon. She heard that the second largest shop in the city sells leather shoes and went to buy some."
"Well, yes, I brought you a pair of sneakers. You can try them on tonight."
"Okay, I knew you wouldn't forget me."
"You, I didn't go anywhere, I just stayed at the shoe factory. This is what I bought this time."
"You are so busy, I understand."
Xiaojing, Xiaoxia and the others also arrived and asked everyone to eat. Forget it, I went to the school gate to eat something.
Gao Wenqiang asked excitedly, "Yuanfang, did you get the leather shoes back? My cousin wore them to show off to me yesterday.
I asked about the location and thought you must have brought it back."
"Yes, what? You also want to buy leather shoes?"
"yes."
"I advise you not to buy them. There are sports shoes in the shoe store. They are very comfortable and not stiff on your feet. You can go and have a look on Sunday."
"Hey, I have some too. I'll put them on tomorrow for you to see." Han Dongmei is a person who can't hide things. Before she even saw the shoes, she started showing off to her friends.
"real?"
"Isn't it?"
Dongmei's mother also followed. She listened to the children gossiping for a while and then started to study.
She was really happy. She no longer missed her daughter when she was in elementary school. It was Yuanfang who pulled her, and now she has been assigned to the second class. It was all Yuanfang's credit.
When we arrived at a shop selling fried dough sticks in the countryside, "You guys go first, I haven't eaten yet."
Gao Wenqiang also came down, "I didn't eat either."
The remaining classmates left anyway, and I felt a little embarrassed waiting here.
Dongmei's mother arrived at the store and said, "Xiaoxiang, I'm here to buy the shoes. Erqiang is not here either, and I don't know the little girl selling shoes."
"Auntie, tell them what you want. They don't know how much it will cost yet. You'd better go back and ask Yuanfang and give the money to Yuanfang."
"Okay, you'd better go and tell the little girl over there."
"Okay, let me go and say it."
Dongmei's mother was just choosing in the store. The salesperson knew the wholesale price of the previous batch of shoes, but she didn't know the price of today's batch. She only knew how much the retail price was.
"Xiaoqin, how much do these shoes cost?"
"Auntie, you are really discerning. This pair of shoes is the most expensive, selling for 106."
"So expensive?"
"Really? More than ten people have come here this morning. They all fell in love with this pair of shoes at first sight, but the price is too high."
Dongmei's mother nodded, "That's right. You get what you pay for. It must be good if everyone likes it."
At this time, a beautiful girl came in and ran directly towards the shoes.
"How much does it cost? Is there anything I can wear?"
"Comrade, there are some that you can wear. These are new goods that arrived in the middle of the night. Our boss said that they are not sold in the capital today. This is why we purchase goods quickly.
This pair of shoes is expensive, one hundred and six."
Liu Lihong was stunned for a moment, "It's really expensive, but I like it. Find me a pair I can wear."
"Okay, comrade, please wait a moment."
Xiaoqin is also a nimble girl. "Comrade, look, there are two colors you can wear, which one do you like?"
"I want this one with pink edges."
She tried it and it looked really good. But Erqiang and Yuanfang were not here, so she still tried to negotiate the price.
"Can it be cheaper?"
Xiaoqin shook her head, "Comrade, you see, the shoes in the store are all put out by our boss in the middle of the night. Look, this is the price given to me. It cost me so much to buy them."
Liu Lihong also understood. "Okay, I want it."
Today, their family is going to the capital. She took three days off. The train is after nine o'clock. She will come here if she still has time.
"Your boss said I haven't sold anything in the capital yet?"
"Yeah, they said the goods over there haven't arrived yet. It's the same as us. We go and pick up the goods ourselves."
"I'll give you the money. You don't have to pack it. But give me the shoe box. The shoe box is quite nice."
Several people who came in all stared at the shoes on Liu Lihong's feet, they were so beautiful.
"Comrade, how are these shoes?"
"It's comfortable to wear. It's still soft when I step on it. I think it won't hurt my feet if I step on stones."
Liu Lihong was in a hurry and didn't say much. She wanted to show off and make them all jealous.
The pair of leather shoes I looked at just now cost more than 70, but they look so good. I will buy them again when I come back.
The customers in the store all saw that this girl spent more than 100 yuan on a pair of shoes. They were really reluctant to part with them.
"You can take a look at the appearance of these pairs. They are different but the clothes are the same. This pair is eighty-six."
Eighty-six is too expensive, but someone just bought it for one hundred and sixty-six, and for half that price, people were attracted to it.
"If you really want to buy it, you can give it a try. Our boss said it's the same."
Two young girls sat down and tried on the shoes. They stood up and tried them on. They were really good.
Dongmei's mother saw this for a while and actually sold several pairs. A pair cost more than 80 yuan. In the village, one acre of land could not earn more than 80 yuan.
"I'm telling you, our boss said these shoes are for athletes, so they won't get hurt while training."
Several girls also left in their clothes, but all needed their shoe boxes.
The remaining middle-aged women came to buy shoes that were on sale.
"Look, these are also on sale, with the same price. This one also arrived last night."
Dongmei’s mother also watched together. Finally, she selected three styles and ordered twenty pairs each.
"Xiaoqin, I will settle the score with your boss. Didn't Xiaoxiang tell you just now?"
"Okay, I'll write it down for Auntie."
Dongmei's mother didn't leave in a hurry and just watched the goods being sold here. What these girls bought were leather shoes. They were all fresh and cost more than seventy.
