"Okay, Changxi."
Yu Changle smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Now I don't have to worry about you not being able to find a wife."
Yu Changxi blushed for a moment, and her rosy face made her look even better: "Sister, what are you talking about? Are you ashamed?"
"Hahaha--"
Yu Changle laughed heartily, feeling like a young man who had succeeded in teasing his young wife.
Yu Changle felt that Li Mei was right. Going to college in this era was a great joy, and she had to worry more about her brother.
You can make your own clothes, but if you want to buy all other daily necessities, you have to go to the city.
She decided to take Yu Changxi into the city today!
Yu Changxi was very happy. He hadn't been to Jinbo City yet.
There were few people entering the city in the afternoon, so the two of them had a seat when they got on the bus.
Yu Changxi excitedly sat on the seat by the window, holding the railing of the front seat tightly with his hands, pressing his face against the edge of the window glass, and kept looking out, grinning almost to the base of his ears.
Yu Changle laughed at him: "Didn't you ride in a car when you came here? It's still so fresh!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Changxi closed his eyes intoxicatedly, enjoying the feeling of the breeze blowing on his face, and subconsciously shook his head:
"When I came here, I either took a fellow villager's ox cart or walked the road. I have never ridden in such a big car!"
Yu Changle's smile froze instantly. He didn't even take a single train from their rural village to Jinbo City. He didn't know how many days of walking he got to her house...
She didn't speak, but she secretly made up her mind that she must stand out in this era and never let her family suffer any more!
When they arrived in the city, Yu Changle wanted to take Yu Changxi to the Xinhua Bookstore sales department to buy some needed books and stationery.
The Xinhua Bookstore sales department is located at the intersection of Grand Cross, not far from the station and only takes more than ten minutes to walk.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in the city. Yu Changle was worried that the bookstore would be closed, so he led Yu Changxi there in a hurry.
When I saw the four-character Xinhua Bookstore sign from a distance, I realized that there was a long queue at the door of the bookstore. What was going on?
The two of them walked to the end of the long queue and asked the person in front of them: "Excuse me, what are you doing in line?"
The man turned his head and looked at them both. He didn't answer until he saw Yu Changxi looking like a student:
"You don't know this? I heard today that "Scar" is going to be there. If you don't line up early, you won't be able to buy it."
Yu Changle was okay. Yu Changxi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is it "Scar" published in Wenhui Po?"
When the man saw that Yu Changxi also said that he could write a report, he decided that he was also a scholar, and his attitude became much better:
"Isn't that right! People who come to line up now know the news in advance. If those people come back after get off work, they will have already snatched it away!"
After saying this, Yu Changxi became even more excited. Doesn't that mean that he now also has the opportunity to buy "Scars".
At this moment, the dragon's head suddenly started to stir. The Xinhua Bookstore had finished clearing the place and was putting out books!
The crowd suddenly became excited, everyone was eager to buy the book, but they were also afraid that the book would be sold out by the time they arrived, and the people behind them began to push forward.
The staff of Xinhua Bookstore had to move a few chairs out and stand on the chairs and shout loudly to maintain order.
Soon, the first person to buy the book emerged from the crowd, holding the book high and waving at the long queue of people behind him: "I bought it! It's "Scar"! It's really "Scar"!"
Now the crowd became even more excited. Some people were worried that they didn't bring enough money and asked hurriedly: "Comrade, how much is it?"
The man smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, holding the book as if he had found a treasure: "One dollar and twenty-five cents!"
Hiss - at this price, many people in the queue couldn't bear it.
They couldn't afford it and were reluctant to leave. After they came out of the queue, many people gathered around and watched, wanting to see if they could borrow the ones they bought.
There were fewer people in the queue, and those at the back were able to take several steps forward.
But Yu Changxi took these few steps very hesitantly.
When he came to report, he had the two dollars that Murakami rewarded him with. Although he saved the fare, he was still so hungry during these days that he couldn't help but spend 60 cents on cakes.
I only have one yuan and forty cents left in my pocket. If I buy books, the remaining fifteen cents may not be enough to meet the school's subsidy.
But if he misses this "Scar", he will definitely feel regretful when he thinks about it later!
Yu Changle saw his confusion at a glance, and calmly took out a big unity sheet from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
"You stand in line here. After buying the book I just mentioned, buy two notebooks, a pen, and a bottle of ink. You have to buy all the things I mentioned. I'll check them later!"
After saying that, he turned around and left. Yu Changxi didn't react and asked hurriedly: "Sister, where are you going?"
Yu Changle waved to him coolly with his back turned: "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something. After you finish buying, wait for me here!"
Yu Changxi looked at her leaving back, then looked at the big unity in her hands, pursed her lips and felt her nose was sore, but her heart was very warm.
Yu Changle walked quickly. First, he was afraid that Yu Changxi would be nagging for a long time and would be reluctant to spend money. Second, he was really afraid that by the time they finished buying the books, it would be too late to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
She transferred to the supply and marketing cooperative with familiarity, and there was a new salesperson today.
"Hello, comrade, I ordered a sewing machine before. Has it arrived?"
Fortunately, I wrote down the order when I placed the order, and the previous salesperson also took over the matter. After confirming that the order was correct, the salesperson said cheerfully:
"It arrived yesterday. It's in the warehouse at the back, waiting for me to get it for you!"
After a while, two salesmen brought out a brand new Peony brand sewing machine with big red flowers on it.
The salesperson smiled and said, "Sister Luo said this is your dowry, so she tied it with flowers specially."
Yu Changle was a little bit dumbfounded, so he could only reluctantly thank the salesperson for his kindness: "Thank you, I also want to buy some other things, and we will check out together later."
On the way here, Yu Changle had already thought about getting as many daily necessities as possible for Yu Changxi so that he would not be reluctant to buy them himself.
Next, she started a shopping spree in the supply and marketing cooperative, which attracted the attention of people in the store.
Because she really bought too many: matches, candles, soap, soap, shampoo, plastic combs, plastic sandals, plastic slippers, hair oil, handkerchiefs, nail clippers, iron spoons, enamel basins, enamel jars, thermos bottles, towels , toothbrush, toothpaste, and also bought a plastic basket to put all these things in.
Of course, I didn’t forget the things I needed. I also bought sewing machine needles, snap buttons, buckles, trouser hooks, buttons and other small items.
There were no fruit candies for sale today, otherwise she would have to buy half a catty.
Even the salesperson who has been working for many years has never seen this kind of buying behavior. He calculated the calculation three times before giving the total price:
A total of two hundred and eleven dollars and eighty-five cents!
