Chapter 178 Visiting Department Stores (2)
Tian Shao ran around outside and came back, Li Aihua and Li Hongxing were called by Second Aunt Li. After washing up, the three of them went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
After they all left, Second Aunt Li said: "I called the provincial textile factory yesterday and they said that no one in Yongning County came to work in their factory. A Yuan, these two children were out all day yesterday. Where are they going?"
Li Yuan felt that she just liked to think wildly, and said: "They don't necessarily have to go to the textile factory to do business? You, you just love to worry too much. As long as the two of them are safe and sound with us, it will be fine to send them to the car tomorrow." .”
As for where the two of them go to do business, it's not that children care so much about what they do.
Second Aunt Li became worried when she heard this: "The girl who gave to Fu Guoxiang two days ago is not satisfied, what do you think he wants to find? She is already twenty-one. Not caring at all."
"Aihua is still a few months older than Fuguo, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't worry about it. Why do you worry about Fuguo being a boy?"
Second Aunt Li was annoyed, and said: "Are you not in a hurry? They were too scared by what happened not long ago to press Aihua anymore. Fortunately, our Red Star has already made an appointment with her, otherwise I would be afraid. "
Those who have girls here are not afraid to hear this. This person surnamed Yan is too scheming, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law were not alert to Aihua's life, it would have been ruined.
Li Yuan was very angry when he knew about this, he said: "Brother asked Aihua to come to the provincial capital this time, I think it should be to let her come out to relax. When they come back, you must not mention this matter! "
Second Aunt Li is funny and angry, she is such a careless person!
Li Hongxing bought stir-fried noodles and soy milk, put them down and said with a smile: "The best food here is stir-fried noodles and stir-fried rice cakes. I'm sure you'll want to eat them again. But there's no rice cakes today, so we'll see tomorrow morning."
Looking at the egg and meat in the fried noodles, Li Aihua said with a smile: "You are too extravagant, you don't need to spend so much."
Li Hongxing raised his mouth and said, "What's a bowl of fried noodles? I'll treat you to something more delicious for lunch."
Tian Shao secretly thought, if her mother sees this breakfast, her heart will hurt again. So the disparity between the rich and the poor has always been great, whether it is now or in future generations, it's just that 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 doorway was bustling with people coming and going.
Now this department store has a complete range of things to buy, such as needles and threads, coat and quilt covers, hardware and kitchen utensils, avenue 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 spread.
Li Hongxing asked Tian Shao: "What do you want to buy, go buy yours first."
Tian Shao said with a smile: "I don't bring much money this time, so I won't buy anything for now, and it won't be too late when I have money in the future."
Li Hongxing thought Tian Shao was very interesting. She had the impression that girls in the countryside would feel inferior when they saw people in the city, but this girl didn't say it calmly at all. But the more she does this, the less she will underestimate the other party, because such people are confident.
Li Aihua said: "Xiao Shao, I didn't even thank you for helping me so much before. You can choose 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 to what you made for me, a gift is already very light."
Tian Shao didn't shirk seeing her like this.
Li Hongxing was filled with question marks, but this occasion is not suitable for asking. She smiled and said, "Tian Shao, you helped my sister, so I, as a younger sister, have to show it."
Although Tian Shao is incomparable with her sisters, her temperament and way of doing things are very to her liking, and she is willing to make friends with them.
Seeing the two sisters singing together, 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 stepped forward to greet her: "Hongxing, I just bought a batch of pechoin yesterday, take a look."
"Show it to me."
Tian Shao looked up at the things on the counter, and after looking for a while, she saw Harry Oil. This thing is very effective for frostbite cracking, Tian Shao said to the young salesperson: "Comrade, bring me ten boxes of clam oil."
The young girl looked up at her and said blankly: "Each person can only buy two boxes at most."
Tian Shao was very surprised, and asked, "Why is the purchase of Harry oil also restricted?"
It is understandable that the purchase of rice, grain and meat is restricted, but this thing cannot be eaten or worn, so the purchase restriction is very strange.
The young girl said indifferently: "Seven cents a box, two boxes and an industrial ticket."
"Does this also require an industrial ticket?"
"Go away without a ticket."
Tian Shao is already used to the demeanor of these salesmen. Seven cents a box is not expensive, but two boxes and one industrial ticket are not worth it.
Li Hongxing heard the commotion here, came over and asked with a bad expression: "Harry Oil can only buy two boxes per person? I also need an industrial coupon. When did this happen? Why don't I know?"
The salesman who greeted Li Hongxing just now was a little older, and seeing something wrong, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Red Star, it's like this, the supply of Harry Oil in Shanghai this year has been reduced by half compared to last year. Someone got the news and secretly resold it. 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 ticket?"
The person she brings is looked down upon by the salesperson, which is tantamount to sweeping her face, which she cannot bear.
The older salesman smiled apologetically and said that the younger salesman was confused, Harry didn’t 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 be cracked in winter, sore and itchy. This Harry oil is very effective, so I want to buy more. Sister Hongxing, since it is a department store's regulation, I will buy two boxes."
There is no need to owe favors for a few boxes of Harry Oil.
The older salesperson laughed and said, "Ten boxes of Harry's oil is fine. Girl, Xiao Fang is not sensible just now, so please don't argue with her."
Whether it is a supply and marketing cooperative or a department store, the salespersons have similar virtues. Tian Shao was used to it, and didn't bother to get angry: "Then give me twenty boxes!"
When the market economy comes, the society will teach them to be human. If they don’t change their domineering attitude by then, they will be laid off!
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you now."
Li Hongxing bought a set of Pechoin heel oil and other things, and then ordered two boxes of Yashuang to give to Li Aihua and Tian Shao. This Yashuang is what later generations call cream, and it is very popular now.
Tian Shao was unwilling to accept gifts for nothing, and insisted on paying the money himself.
