Chapter 177: Buying a car
In terms of purchasing New Year's goods, this year due to the New Year's Pass, there are a lot of things, and the Spring Festival is at the end of January, and the purchase time is unprecedentedly urgent.
But fortunately, Hong Lucheng's body is better. He and Wang Yunlin retired at home again, and with Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, Hong Yanru, and Hongjun together, the manpower arrangement was very sufficient.
In addition, since some things are in much more supply, the queue is less difficult, so it doesn't seem like a rush to get really busy.
In the end, not only did I buy all the items in the shopping book in a timely manner. The Hong family also used the money they had just shared to buy a lot of good things that they couldn't think of in the past.
For example, in order to satisfy his own preferences, Hong Lucheng generously spent thirty-six yuan to buy three catties of "white snow jade buds", which was almost the top flower tea that could be found in the capital at that time.
Because it is expensive, no one cares, and there is no need to use coupons.
Of course, it's not all for Hong Lucheng to drink by himself. Isn't this a festival, except for keeping a pound for yourself. Wanyan Yuntai and Shou Jingfang also want to send a catty each.
Wang Yunlin's mind was on the children's clothes and hats.
The old lady took Hong Yanru and Hong Jun to a trip to "Dashilar".
It's just that at this time, although they have enough money, they can afford to buy seven pieces of seven cents and eighty-one meters of cloth, nineteen pieces of eighty-one meters of wool, or twenty pieces of wool of nine cents and one kilogram.
But it's a pity that all the fabrics need tickets, and the wool also needs industrial coupons, even if the tickets accumulated at home are spent, there is no one for everyone.
After some consideration, Wang Yunlin simply bought ready-to-wear directly.
The price of ready-to-wear is high, and the tickets can be less.
In this way, in addition to buying two new clothes with mixed materials for Hong Yanru and Hong Jun. She also bought two new pants for her husband and four sons.
Then he used industrial vouchers to buy three catties of pure wool for Xu Manli. Finally, the whole family has everything together.
But Wang Yunlin forgot that she didn't buy anything for herself.
The girl is the most distressed mother, Hong Yanru found that her mother only didn't buy anything for herself, so she didn't do it. Knowing that there was no ticket, she had to give back one of her coats and buy her mother a woolen coat.
When Hong Jun heard this, he also coaxed. If grandma doesn't buy it, he won't leave.
In the end, the two small entanglements made Wang Yunlin have to follow them, and instead added a new dress for herself. This was the real consummation, and several people went home happily with these clothes and wool.
As the eldest son in the family, Hong Yanzheng, who is the eldest brother, also behaved very well this time.
He not only bought himself a pair of three-joint cowhide shoes, but also bought a small Kun watch for Xu Manli. I bought my son Hong Jun an electric tin toy for hens to lay eggs. I haven't forgotten my younger siblings.
As it was, he bought a pair of leather shoes for Hong Yanwen, Hong Yanwu, and Chen Liquan each. I also gave my sister a watch. Then I discussed it with my wife, and I wanted to give the money to buy a washing machine at home.
In private, he came to Hong Yanwu with leather shoes, wanting to ask him where to buy the washing machine.
Hong Yanwu really didn't expect that his eldest brother would be so generous and impatient to send money and things.
It's a pity that it's still the same sentence, there are horses without saddles, although there are imported washing machines, it is difficult to find laundry detergent.
No matter how sorry he feels for his family, he can't wait for his eldest brother's money to be spent quickly, so he can only wait.
As a result, he made an evaluation of "no hair on his mouth and no good work" in Hong Yanzheng.
This is so angry that he really wants to give his mean big brother a kick in the ass when the boss pushes the door out.
But then I thought about it again, and put up with it! The "porcelain rooster" at home finally plucked back the hair, and it was more than 30 yuan! This time, for the sake of the new leather shoes, I didn't care about him.
As for Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru, both of them really don't have any big expenses, and if they have money in their hands, they just buy books and some good stationery.
But they are the same as Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, they don't have bicycles. They really need a bike, too.
Wang Yunlin was worried about this matter, and Hong Yanwu guaranteed that he could get tickets and industrial coupons, so he allocated two hundred yuan to each of them to buy a car, and said that the remaining savings from the car did not need to be handed over, even if it was pocket money.
With my mother's will, the following things will be easy to do.
Early in the morning of January 26, Hong Yanwu took a few people directly to the department store, first found someone to change the ticket, and stared at the opening time to enter the bicycle department.
In less than an hour, he completed all the car purchase procedures.
picked a 165-yuan "Yan brand manganese steel car" for Hong Yanwen, and got a 158-yuan "Little Flying Pigeon" for Hong Yanru.
Then let the brother and sister ride a new car and go to the Baizhifang Police Station with the bill to register the new car.
This was also a characteristic of the times of that year. Whoever buys a bicycle has to go to the police station to register, stamp, tag, and get a license, which is considered to be the Ming Media is married.
On the contrary, Hong Yanwu himself didn't plan to buy a new car in the department store at all, and then he took Chen Liquan to the overpass.
What car should I buy, this kid already has a score in his heart.
In the trust shop on the flyover, there are a few antique-grade bicycles that he has been thinking about for a long time when he usually hangs out.
As the saying goes, "buy a couple, sell two, be one". At that time, people didn't have a sense of collecting, and even the best bicycles were not worth anything once they were sent to the trust store by their owners.
Moreover, the price of the goods themselves is not high, and this kind of trust store that specializes in selling and consigning old goods is still the only place where you can bargain with the salesperson back then.
So for those who have eloquence and experience, the price here is cheap to grandma's house.
To put it bluntly, it is because Hong Yanwu has not been able to explain the origin of the money, so he is embarrassed to move home. Otherwise, he would have already pocketed these good things.
When picking a car this time, Hong Yanwu really liked everything. And because there was a "crested head" that he looked particularly good at the beginning had been bought, it prompted him to do it without hesitation.
So he talked to the salesman in the vernacular, and he bought five cars in one go.
It's like two eighty percent new cars, which are one hundred and eighty years old. The price of the half-used car was divided to more than sixty or seventy, and it only cost more than three hundred and eighty after returning to the package.
However, he finally spent the money, because Chen Liquan accidentally found a good thing. There is an intact "American Leather Monkey" in the store.
Of course, this is just a folk colloquial name. The proper name of this thing should actually be called the "Alpha N3B trench coat", which is the coat of the US army land combatants during World War II, which has a high degree of cold resistance.
The long hem is cinched in to further keep your hips and lower abdomen warm. There are reinforcing tabs in the elbow bend to protect soldiers on land from wearing out their clothes and damaging their fragile elbow joints in the cold winter. There is also a zippered arm pocket for a pen.
In addition, the adjustable zipper closure is also very distinctive, and it is embellished with faux coyote fur to protect the entire face. Once the hood is tightened so that only the eyes are exposed, wear sunglasses......
Wow! That's just so cool! With Quanzi's "same" size, this is to be worn, it's absolutely stylish!
So don't look at the price of more than 70 yuan, at most it will be two yuan cheaper, Hong Yanwu bought it for Chen Liquan without saying a word.
The salesperson who has been receiving them is very fond of jokes, deliberately teasing them, saying that he wears American leather monkeys, wears Swiss watches, and rides limelight cars, but I was the most exquisite when I was young. You've got two things together now. Do you want to get another good watch strap?
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was happy at first glance. urged Chen Liquan to brighten his watch.
I saw Quanzi's hand take it out of his arms, and the piece of "Vacheron Constantin" that he got from the hand of "Zou Toad" shook the salesman's eyes and blocked his mouth at once.
This is so unexpected! Hey, it's a complete shock, it's a cap!
After the money and goods were cleared at the scene, the problem that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan faced again became how to get these cars home.
Actually, there is no need to worry about this. There are tricycle drivers waiting for work in front of the trust store, and it only costs four cents for a car to run.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan rode a car by themselves, hired a tricycle, and pulled the other three bicycles to go home. They can give five cents for the car, because there is a prerequisite that you should walk slowly on the road and don't break the car.
Of course, when they went back like this, it inevitably caused a small shock in the house.
Because no one expected that they would buy so many old bikes for four hundred dollars.
After coming to the West Courtyard to see the bicycles they bought, Hong Yanwu's brother and sister were a little unable to find the north. They didn't understand why Hong Yanwu took Chen Liquan to buy these dirty and strange-looking cars.
In particular, the eldest brother Hong Yanzheng directly expressed his dissatisfaction without concealment.
"You two are just being stupid, don't buy an old car if you have a new car. I have to repair the car to get these things back that are about to fall apart, which is a big loss. ”
Hong Yanwu rolled his eyes and retorted sternly.
"Boss, don't talk nonsense. Take a good look, can these cars be comparable to Phoenix, Permanent, and Golden Deer? I won't tell you anything about maintaining and increasing their value, and you won't understand it anyway. Have you ever seen this workmanship, a single-strand fork car? This kind of car has to be wiped clean and cleaned again, what kind of energy do you need to ride on the street?
Isn't it? It's real, what Hong Yanwu values when buying such a car is really not the appreciation space in the future. Because collecting bikes is a niche act. If he really wants to make money, it is better for him to keep a few bottles of Moutai.
In fact, he just likes such old cars, which are of excellent quality, stylish and stylish. In these years, there is no private car, and being able to ride such a bicycle is equivalent to driving a BMW and Daben.
