When Xu Shiyan bought this hairpin, many girls were rushing to grab it. I heard that it was a popular style only from the south.
For such a small thing, one dollar is expensive enough.
However, Xu Shiyan felt that his daughter would look good in it, so he didn't care how much it cost, so he took the trouble to grab a small size for his daughter.
"Wow! So beautiful."
Xu Jinping imitated what her brother had just said and stared at the hairpin in her father's hand with her big eyes.
"Dad, what is this?"
The little girl liked it very much, but she didn't take it. Instead, she sat obediently in front of her father.
Xu Shiyan reached out and put the hairpin on the top of his daughter's head.
"That's what it's for. Waiting for summer, you don't have to braid your hair like this anymore. You can just put on hairpins and a skirt. It'll look good."
His daughter is very handsome and dressed up like that, she is definitely the most beautiful little princess.
Well, that’s right, I’m waiting for summer to think about buying a pair of small leather shoes for my daughter, which will look good together.
"Wait a minute. Also, dad bought you a lot of gifts."
Xu Shiyan continued to dig out of his pocket and took out a rag doll.
The face of the doll should be made of plastic or hard glue, with a small round face and a chubby face. The big eyes can move. They open when you hold them and close them when you lie down.
There was also a hat with flying brim sewn on her head, hair made of wool, and a floral skirt.
"Dad, is this a doll for me?"
The little girl couldn't bear it anymore, so she quickly picked up the baby and jumped on the kang.
"Dad, do you know? That Jiang Chunhong, she has a baby.
I want to hug her, but she won’t let me hug her.”
The Jiang Chunhong Xu Jinping was talking about was her new friend.
Ever since Xu Haiyuan attended the Yuhong class, Xu Jinping no longer followed her brother around and played with a group of little girls.
Among them were Su Lijuan and Jiang Chunhong, both children of grain depot workers.
Xu Jinping is the same age as them and plays very well.
That Jiang Chunhong's father is the director of the grain depot, her mother also works, the family has money, and her life is pretty good.
Jiang Chunhong's father went out and brought back a doll for his daughter. Jiang Chunhong liked it so much that she always showed it off in front of her friends.
How can children of this age have any toys? Let alone dolls.
Just grab a pillow or towel, tie a doll and play with it, that would be quite satisfying.
Therefore, many children are particularly envious of Jiang Chunhong's doll, and Xu Jinping is no exception.
Sometimes I want to touch and hug me, but people don’t give me a hug, which makes me feel quite disappointed.
"Grandpa, grandma, look, I have a beautiful doll.
She is older than Jiang Chunhong and more beautiful. Look, her hair is golden and her eyes are blue. She is so beautiful."
Xu Jinping was so beautiful that she jumped up and down with her baby in her arms, and even ran to show off to Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan.
The old couple looked at their granddaughter's happy face and laughed too.
"Then you have to take good care of it, don't get it dirty and lose it.
This thing is not cheap. If you lose it, you will have nowhere to buy it." Zhou Guilan warned her granddaughter with a smile.
"Don't worry, our Pingping plays with everything carefully. This is her doll, so she must treat it like a baby."
Xu Chenghou watched his granddaughter jumping around with a smile, and he didn't think the doll was expensive.
Anyway, one can play with this thing for many years. My granddaughter can still play with it in the future. It doesn’t matter whether it is expensive or not, as long as the child is happy.
There are no principles here among grandparents. As long as the grandchildren are happy, everything is fine.
"Dad, I bought you something, you must like it."
Xu Shiyan smiled and handed a box to Xu Chenghou.
Xu Chenghou was stunned, "Why are you buying me something? Look at you, just buy some new things for your child."
I’m an old man, I don’t want anything.” Xu Chenghou said, waving his hand and pushing it out.
"Dad, don't regret it if I don't want you."
Xu Shiyan opened the box with a smile, revealing a square object about the size of a palm, whether it was metal or plastic.
Turn the switch on the side and hear a sound coming from the square thing.
"Oh, is this a semiconductor radio?" Xu Chenghou's eyes lit up and he grabbed it.
"I thought it was something. If you had said it was a semiconductor, how could I still say no?"
"This is a Sika Deer brand pocket semiconductor radio produced by Changchun Radio Factory."
Xu Shiyan smiled, knowing that the old man must like this thing.
Xu Chenghou held the semiconductor in his hand, rubbed the carved plexiglass on the surface with his fingers, and listened to the sound coming from inside. He couldn't put it down.
"Isn't this thing expensive? I remember hearing people say before that it only takes two months' salary."
Xu Chenghou was very curious about money, but he also felt sorry for money. He always felt that it was a bit of a waste for his son to spend so much money on such a gadget.
"Dad, what year are you from?
Nowadays, this thing is worthless. This one is considered the best, only fourteen and a half yuan."
Xu Shiyan shook his head and laughed when he heard this. Semiconductors were worth two months' salary. That was more than ten years ago.
In 1963, the Sika Deer brand two-tube semiconductor cost 46.6 yuan, the three-tube semiconductor in 1964 was 57 yuan, and the six-tube semiconductor in 1965 was 67.2 yuan.
By the 1970s, semiconductor prices had dropped and continued to decline year after year.
As of now, radios are hard to sell due to the backlog of radios. These six-tube ones only cost a dozen yuan, and no tickets are required.
Before going to the provincial capital, Xu Shiyan didn't know that this thing was so cheap.
When he saw it that day, he just asked casually. When people told him, Xu Shiyan was also shocked.
After asking clearly, I quickly bought one for the old man.
It's good to keep this thing for listening to other things. It's battery-operated. Two AA batteries can last for a while.
"Now, radio factories have begun to change their profession and produce tape recorders. No one in the city wants this stuff, so it is cheap."
That's the case with electronic products. Nowadays, tape recorders are popular, and these factories make tape recorders.
Wait for something else to become popular in a few years. In the end, many manufacturers will be unable to keep up with the pace of the market and will become obsolete.
"Oh, oh, it's so cheap, that's okay, just buy it."
When Xu Chenghou heard that it was more than ten yuan, he felt relieved.
The price is acceptable and very good. This gift from my son is very satisfying.
"Mom, I didn't pick anything good for you. I just bought a hat and two pieces of fabric."
Buying things for my mother is the most difficult thing. Xu Shiyan spent a long time shopping but couldn't find anything he liked. The hat was just okay.
Then I ran out of ideas, so I bought two pieces of fabric, one was dark cyan corduroy and the other was dark brown satin with dark grain.
“What kind of hair did the salesperson say this hat was made of?
Oops, I can’t remember. Anyway, I thought it was quite soft and warm when I put it on, so I bought it. Mom, please try it.”
Xu Shiyan didn't know much about this. Anyway, he just thought it was good and didn't care so much, so he just paid for it.
Zhou Guilan took the hat, and as soon as she put it on, she felt that the hair was very soft and very comfortable, and it felt warm in her hand.
If you look closely, it looks like it is made of wool, but it is very furry and warm.
"Hey, this is good. It's soft and warm. Okay, it's pretty good."
