Lin Meiru was very touched by her little daughter's thoughtful words: "Mom is old and doesn't need any good things, but you can make two more outfits. Don't look for a tailor? Have you forgotten that your eldest sister's craftsmanship is the best in the country? I can save a rich dowry by relying on this craft."
Jiang Anan exclaimed: "Sister is so amazing."
"It's a pity that after marriage, your eldest brother-in-law didn't allow her to show up in public and take on private work." Lin Meiru was a little regretful. "Fortunately, your eldest brother-in-law is capable, his family is in good condition, and he doesn't lack the money."
Jiang Anan frowned slightly.
"...Wait a minute! Can I get two eggs if I spend ten yuan in the audience?" Lin Meiru's eyes widened in surprise when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the promotional slogan on the wall.
Seeing that there was already a long queue to receive the eggs, she hurriedly dragged her little girl to the cosmetics area for fear that all the eggs would be collected.
"Thirty-eight yuan a box of ice cream, no ticket required."
The salesperson's indifferent voice was like pouring cold water on her head. Lin Meiru was dumbfounded: "So expensive?"
"If you don't have money, leave quickly. Don't stop other people from buying." Materials were in short supply at this time, and cream was a luxury product from the Shanghai market, so the salesperson's attitude was quite bad.
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes seemed to fall on the mother and daughter. Lin Meiru's cheeks were red with embarrassment, but for the first time she did not dare to fight back.
Jiang An'an smiled and held her arm coquettishly: "Mom, I'm naturally beautiful, I don't need any cream at all."
If someone else had said this, the salesperson would have slapped her back, and she even thought it was an understatement to say that she is a natural beauty. She suddenly grabbed a handful of milk candies and handed them to Jiang An'an, and asked with a smile: "Comrade, how do you usually whiten your skin?"
When it comes to skin care, many lesbians prick up their ears.
White Rabbit milk candies are in short supply, so the other party spent a lot of money, so Jiang Anan smiled more and more sincerely: "Physical sun protection is very important. Drink more milk and lemonade..."
The salesperson quickly recorded it in a notebook, and learned a lot from the exchange: "It is not cost-effective to sell the whole bottle of cream. It can be sold in bulk according to the weight."
She turned over an empty bottle from under the counter, with a mysterious look on her face: "If you want it, the bottle can be sold at a low price."
This method is zero copy, and you can get the best results for a small amount of money.
Lin Meiru was originally reluctant to spend the money, but looking at the salesperson's "I'm only telling you two secretly" look, she did some calculations in her mind and found that she had indeed saved most of the money. She immediately felt that she would have lost a lot if she didn't buy it. , said hurriedly: "It's ten yuan." It happened that I could still get two eggs.
Yesterday, the eldest son-in-law still had half of the twenty yuan he paid for his filial piety. Later, when he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to pull a piece of cloth and buy chilblain cream, he would be able to save quite a bit. If he saved up, he would leave it for An Fang to arrange his dowry in the future.
The cream is soft, white in texture and has a light fragrance. I saw the salesperson using a long flat wooden stick to scoop a large spoonful into the new bottle, carefully weighing it, and finally thoughtfully erasing the fraction: "Come directly to me next time. My surname is Liu."
"Sister Liu!" Jiang An'an followed the good example and picked up a handful of green vegetables from the basket and gave it to her, "The vegetables grown at home are fresh and crisp. I gave them to you because I have a affinity with Sister Liu. Don't refuse."
Lin Meiru was still feeling dizzy until she walked out of the building after collecting ten eggs. Hearing that the couple wanted to receive eggs, the salesperson took them directly to jump in line and gave them eight more eggs.
One egg costs three cents, eight eggs cost twenty-four cents! !
I didn’t expect people in the city to be so easy to fool...ah, they are so enthusiastic!
Suddenly, she slapped her thigh: "Oh, I should ask the salesperson if the mall is still hiring?" Salespersons in the mall have decent wages and high wages, which is perfect for her family!
Jiang Anan quickly changed the subject: "Mom, the vegetable leaves seem to be wilting. Let's go and deliver vegetables to the second sister."
Regardless of the fact that salespersons are well paid and have a high status, they will be reduced to the bottom of the class after more than ten years. In comparison, Jiang Anan still liked his job as a mediator in his previous life. The family is short-lived, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are neighbors... they happily eat melon and watch movies every day, and they can still get a salary! !
It is now 1972, and there are still five years until the college entrance examination is resumed. During this period, she will prepare well, strive to be admitted to college, and re-enter the Women's Federation to serve as an iron rice bowl.
Lin Meiru lowered her head and said, "Oh, it's true. If the food is really wilted and it doesn't look good when delivered...wait! An'an, isn't that your fourth cousin? Where did he get the bicycle?"
Suddenly, Lin Meiru's entire Bagua Radar turned on and she rushed out. Even though he was carrying a large basket of vegetables, his legs were still almost out of shape.
Jiang Anan couldn't laugh or cry when she saw this.
By the time she caught up, Lin Meiru had already grabbed the back seat of the bicycle and kept asking: "Yongrong, bicycles are not cheap, how much did you pay for them?"
Uncle Jiang's six children were named according to "Prosperity of the Motherland" and ranked according to their generation.
Jiang Yongrong's eyes were a little dodgey: "Borrowed, borrowed."
"Really?" Lin Meiru looked at the bicycle up and down, and suddenly started to show off: "My eldest son-in-law also has a Phoenix brand bicycle, and it looks really similar at first glance."
Jiang Yongrong felt that his body was as stiff as a ray on his back, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. "The bicycles are all the same. Second Aunt, I have something urgent to do and I have to leave quickly."
"Why are you so flustered?" Lin Meiru caught a glimpse of her nephew's guilty look, and her curiosity became even more intense, making it impossible for her to let him go.
Then his face darkened and he said sternly: "Did you steal the bicycle? Okay, I'm going to arrest you and surrender to the public security bureau."
Jiang Yongrong almost cried out of fright, and said truthfully: "I didn't steal it, it was given by Zhou Kang!"
Lin Meiru was stunned for a moment and didn't believe it at all: "What the hell are you talking about? The bicycle costs hundreds of dollars. My eldest son-in-law would give it to you because he is crazy."
She grabbed Jiang Yongrong's arm and said, "You thief, let's go to the public security bureau with me to make it clear."
Catch a thief?
Many people gathered on the road after hearing the words.
"It's really a gift from Zhou Kang!" Jiang Yongrong was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he revealed everything at once: "Zhou Kang is divorcing Sister Shu Lan today, and he specially invited my father, mother, and milk to bear witness. This bicycle is a thank you gift. .”
The air suddenly fell silent.
divorce!
It was earth-shattering news in Hongqi Commune! !
Jiang Anan suddenly realized: "No wonder Zhou Kang suddenly gave away tickets and money yesterday. It turned out to be a premeditated plan."
Apparently thinking of this, Lin Meiru's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the two industrial tickets she held in her hand were almost crushed to pieces.
"Help my aunt deliver this basket of vegetables to the supply and marketing cooperative."
She couldn't help but grab the bicycle, forced the vegetable basket into Jiang Yongrong's hands, and warned sternly: "Shut your mouth tightly, and don't tell me what happened at Meizi's house. An'an, get in the car quickly."
It is not easy for supply and marketing cooperatives to ask for leave. If the number of leave increases too much, the leaders will have objections. The three daughters are all important, and Lin Meiru knows how to prioritize.
Jiang Yongrong watched the mother and daughter disappear before his eyes, and kept worrying in his heart: It's over now, I hope no one will die!
