Chapter 045: I Met the Enemy

Before returning to her parents' house, Zhang Yunxiu first took her daughter to visit the department store.

The things in the department store are much more complete than the supply and marketing cooperatives, and some of them don't need bills.

In the years when she married into the Bai family, her parents' brothers and sisters-in-law were afraid that she would be wronged, so they didn't dare to go to the Bai family to see her, and even if they came, they always came with big bags and small bags, and then left empty-handed.

In this way, the group of people in the Bai family always looked down on her hillbilly background, and every time her mother's family came over, they would ridicule her, and they didn't give her a trace of face at all.

When I was young, I was ignorant, and when I was older, I realized how much my parents, brother and sister-in-law had suffered for me.

Now that she has a lot of money, she also wants to buy something for her mother's family.

At least I can't let those acquaintances in Miaoer Village laugh at her as a married girl again and again, and every time she goes back to her parents' house, she leaves with a big bag.

It's been a long time, and it is estimated that the two sisters-in-law have already had a problem in their hearts.

The department stores in Huaixiang County naturally do not have as many things as in the provincial capital, but in this era of material scarcity, there are not many things in them.

Zhang Yunxiu remembered that she used to be poor in her pocket, and she had never visited a department store in the 70s, but she also did not have the excitement of visiting a building in this era.

Anyway, she is also a person who has lived for 20 more years, but she has even been to the magic capital 20 years later, and the prosperity there is even more unimaginable.

"Mama, what do you want to buy?"

There are a lot of people in the department store, and most of them are women of old and young who have no money in their pockets to come in and see the world.

It's just two floors in total, and it's crowded.

Zhang Yunxiu was afraid that the child would be lost, so she always held Zhuzhu in her arms.

"Buy some stuff for your grandparents. ”

Zhang Yunxiu had an idea before she came, so she went directly to the candy and pastry counter.

The sweets and pastries here are more expensive than those sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives, but there are no tickets and no restrictions, and you can buy them if you have money.

There were many buyers in front of the counter, and Zhang Yunxiu was inconvenient to squeeze forward with her child, so she waited for more than half an hour before she walked to the front.

"Oh, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze again, get out!"

Several salesmen selling sweets and pastries were full of impatience on their faces, and their mouths were scolding all the time, looking at the disdain on the faces of these plainly dressed countrymen who were scheming for a little candy.

And the buyers didn't dare to say anything, and they scolded and scolded, and the pastries still had to be bought.

Zhang Yunxiu didn't say anything, the family conditions of people who can work as salespeople in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are also better than ordinary people in these years.

It is already common to look at the buyer's face, and she has seen a buyer who made noise to the salesman knitting a sweater when he was buying, and directly called the salesman to scold and cry.

If it were placed in the metropolis twenty years later, this kind of salesperson would have been fired long ago.

But in the seventies and eighties, where the reform had not yet been opened, the salesman was the object of everyone's favor.

If there is a salesperson among relatives and friends at home, then every time it is the New Year's holiday, you have to come to the door to give gifts, and you are looking forward to the flow of some 'defective' goods on hand!

"Comrade, this, this, this, these four are the same weigh me a pound. ”

Zhang Yunxiu hugged her daughter with one hand, pointed to four medium-priced pastries and smiled at the salesperson.

The young salesman wrapped her pastry with oiled paper with a cold face, wrote a sign and threw it from the iron wire above her head to the other side, and after a while another sign came back to her, and she said coldly: "A total of three yuan." ”

Zhang Yunxiu counted three pieces and eight cents from his pocket.

The salesman gave her a piece of peanut crisp that she put on the side, "This is worth two cents for you." ”

said that he didn't look for the money after collecting it.

Zhang Yunxiu understands the 'unspoken rules' of these salespeople.

Sometimes the difference is two cents, they don't want to change and will use something instead, if the buyer accepts, they make the money, if the buyer does not accept them, it is a scolding, the scolding people dare not refute.

Most of the time, buyers are holding back this breath and admitting it, who makes the family a salesperson holding an iron rice bowl?

Of course, whether there are other places where there are salespeople like this in the Huaixiang County Department Store, Zhang Yunxiu is not clear.

Carrying the pastries, Zhang Yunxiu went to the place where the liberation shoes were sold again.

Liberation shoes are the most popular shoes in this era, and a pair costs several pieces, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy them.

Zhang Yunxiu had also seen this kind of green rubber shoes in the plane mall, the price was more expensive than that in the department store, a pair of seventy or eighty universe coins!

At that time, she had an idea in her mind.

She didn't dare to put the food in the plane mall or anything on the black market to resell, but she could find something more expensive than the real price, and bought it from the real world and put it in the plane mall to sell it!

This difference in price of one or twenty cosmic coins, if you can sell a pair, you can earn one or two yuan!

It's not bad to earn seven or eight yuan a week by peeling the flame fruit, but Zhang Yunxiu doesn't plan to spend all her time on this, after all, she still has to find out which production team's cowshed the old doctor was locked up in, and check her daughter's body!

A pair of green rubber shoes in the seventies was of good quality, and it was not easy to break if worn for several years.

Zhang Yunxiu wanted to buy a pair for his father and two brothers, so he picked and chosen.

"Yo, isn't this Zhang Yunxiu!"

Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder and called her name full of surprise.

Zhang Yunxiu subconsciously turned her head and saw a woman with a Chinese face, about twenty years old, with her former sister-in-law Liu Wen standing beside her.

"Zhang Yunxiu, are you making a fortune? You still have money to buy pastries!"

When the woman saw what she was carrying, she reached out and wanted to take it and take a look, but Zhang Yunxiu subconsciously avoided it.

"What's stingy, I'm just going to take a look, and I won't eat you!"

The woman snorted, obviously unhappy.

Zhang Yunxiu really didn't know who this person was, but seeing that she was standing with Liu Wen, she still looked very familiar with herself, and it was estimated that she was a neighbor who lived around the Bai family before.

"Zhang Yunxiu, it's been a week since you moved out, why don't you go home to take a look?" Liu Wen saw that Zhang Yunxiu had two pairs of shoes in her hands, and her heart suddenly became lively, and she asked affectionately, "Mom and Dad miss their granddaughter at home!"

As soon as Zhang Yunxiu saw this face that was twenty years younger, she felt sick in her heart, the murderer who killed her in her previous life was in front of her, but the sense of grievance that she couldn't take revenge made her face cold directly.

"Comrade Liu Wen, have you forgotten? When I left, we had already signed a note to sever relations, what do your parents want their granddaughter to do with me?"

As she spoke, she casually picked out a pair of shoes that could be worn, and with the two pairs of shoes she had picked before, she was ready to leave with the child in her arms.
