Chapter 254 First Meeting

1.

The store is still Wang Xiaofang's original three rooms, but it has been renovated and arranged by the owner.

The counter and shelves facing the door are full of dazzling, colorful, large and small bottles, bags, beautifully packaged cosmetics, both popular with the "alabaster", "clam oil", "baby cream", and well-known domestic "Yaqian", "Yongfang", "Xia Shilian" and other brands, at the top of the shelves, in the spring actually saw a rare gift box of the United States Procter & Gamble company produced "Olay" skin care products.

Although it is not the first time to visit a cosmetics store in the spring, but the cosmetics brand and quantity in this store still surprised the spring, the cosmetics counter of the town supply and marketing cooperatives has been to the spring, there are only three or two kinds of skin care products in the pitiful place, and the commonly used "Dabao SOD honey" in the spring is generally purchased at the cosmetics counter of the county department store, but now the number and scale of the cosmetics store on the street of Hushan Town are not worse than the cosmetics counter of the county department store. In the spring, I thought that in a few days, I would call Wu Xiao and others to come over and have a look, if they could buy their commonly used "Men's Dabao SOD Honey" in this store, it would save them the trouble of running to the county.

As soon as the second aunt entered the door, she ran towards the cosmetics counter, and there were seven or eight big girls and little daughters-in-law in front of the counter more than two meters long, who were chattering and chattering to choose their favorite cosmetics, and a tall girl with a ponytail in a pink top was introducing the characteristics, prices and use methods of various cosmetics to the women gathered in front of the counter.

Spring just quickly glanced at the women gathered around the counter and quickly turned his head. There was only one man in the whole store, and it would be embarrassing to be found out if he stared at the woman's back in such a daze. Spring is a teacher who is a role model, and he is always careful about his words and deeds. On this occasion, Mr. Confucius's "don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people, don't say indecent things, and don't move indecent things" is very much in line with the current mentality and status quo of spring.

Turning around and pacing a few steps, Spring saw a dazzling sea of red, and the walls facing Spring were covered with red, pink, and all kinds of wedding dresses. Each wedding dress is covered with a transparent plastic bag and hung on the wall, and at the waist of each wedding dress, the owner also thoughtfully hangs a homemade nameplate with the name of the wedding dress, the characteristics of the wedding dress and the rental price. After a cursory look at the spring, the nameplate of the wedding dress was written on the queen type, princess type, tutu type and bandeau type, and the rental price ranged from 80 yuan to 160 yuan. The glass counter under the wedding dress is filled with wedding headdresses, plastic bouquets, car accessories, brisages and invitations.

Although I haven't experienced marriage in the spring, and I don't understand the market for wedding supplies, I still sigh in my heart for the shrewdness of the owner's vision. This kind of wedding dress rental shop is the first in Hushan Town, and young people from all over the country get married, and they have to patronize it, and it will definitely bring a lot of income to the owner.

Although Hushan Town is located in the depths of the mountains and the traffic is blocked, with the development of the economy and the changes of the times, the mountain people of Hushan Town have slowly emancipated themselves from the old thoughts, and the concepts are also quietly changing. For example, the wedding car has been "upgraded" from the original horse-drawn carriage to the era of bicycles, tractors, and trucks, and now it has been "upgraded" to a car; Although no bride has dared to blatantly wear a white wedding dress, and if she wants to wear it, she can only wear a red or pink wedding dress, but compared with the traditional red dress, red pants and red shoes of the bride in the past, I don't know how much it has improved.

Next to the wedding counter is a separate room, which is the room that Wang Xiaofang used to use as a bedroom. The door of the house was hidden, and from inside came the shouts and laughter of children. The sound coming from the room caught Spring's attention, and he leaned down on the crack in the door and looked inside.

In the room, a dozen young boys sat together in a dark place, lying in front of a color television and playing games. The TV is a 21-inch "peony brand" color TV worth more than 2,000 yuan, and the game console is a "little overlord" game console of more than 600 yuan, which can change the game card at any time, and the children are playing a reel-based shooting game launched by Konami in 1987, which is deeply loved by boys. However, there are really not many people in Hushan Town who can afford to buy a "Xiaobawang" game console worth more than 600 yuan and a game card worth more than 100 yuan, so many children have only seen or heard of it, and there are very few who can really experience this kind of hot-blooded, hot, and "Contra" game that boys talk about. And this game console that appeared on the streets of Hushan Town met the wishes and dreams of many boys, although it was an almost sky-high cost of two yuan per hour, but it still attracted a large stream of primary and secondary school students.

Spring was also the first time I had seen such a game machine, so I reached for the door and walked in to see what was going on. Hearing someone enter the house, the children gathered around the house looked back one after another. It didn't matter, but Haru was stunned, and more than half of the children in the house were students of Toyama Junior High School. The stunned spring is second, and the students of Toyama Middle School in the house should be described as frightened, and the spring is the "campus police" in charge of student management.

The students stood up with red faces and greeted Spring, who replied with a sinking face, and thought urgently in their hearts about how to deal with this matter. Students are not allowed to enter the game hall and are not allowed to touch unhealthy books and audio-visual products, which is something that has been repeatedly emphasized in the spring during the winter vacation student union, and now these students have been caught by themselves, although they are accidentally encountered, but they should not sit idly by.

Spring was muttering about how to make a statement, and among the students, I don't know which one of the bold leaders rushed out to the door, and it didn't matter if it was a run, and in the blink of an eye, the students of Toyama Middle School in the house ran away. The remaining four or five eight- and nine-year-old boys, who seemed to be students at Toyama Central Elementary School, did not have the slightest fear of spring because they did not know spring, and still stared at the TV screen, and their little hands kept pressing the handle of the game console.

Spring shook his head and smiled bitterly as he exited the room, and when he turned around, he saw a room full of women who were all stunned and looked at him in surprise. It was only then that she realized that it was the students' escape that had scared the women who were picking up the goods, and that it was her own unintentional actions that had disturbed the shopkeeper's business.

Spring smiled awkwardly and was about to open her mouth to explain, but the second aunt in front of the counter opened her mouth first.

"Xiao Xu, I'm sorry!" the second aunt said to the tall girl at the counter, "This is my nephew, is he an art teacher at Toyama Middle School, or a school cadre!"

"The people who just ran out were all students from our school, I really didn't mean to..." Spring explained with a red face.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a matter of course for students to be afraid of teachers... Hee-hee!" the girl at the counter didn't seem to have the slightest sense of blame, but excused Spring, her duck-egg-shaped face full of smiles, and a pair of sultry eyes kept looking at Spring.

Spring hurriedly thanked him, then pushed open the door and walked out.

2.

Out of the store, the spring breathes a long sigh of relief, the whistling north wind blows in the face, but the spring does not feel the slightest chill, but has a kind of relief and comfort after getting rid of some kind of pressure.

Spring leaned back on his motorcycle, lit a cigarette and took a few deep breaths, exhaling a thick puff of smoke.

Ten minutes later, the second aunt walked out of the store with a bag full of cosmetics in her hand.

"Let's go, let's go home!" the second aunt had a meaningful, but very excited smile on her face, which made Spring confused.

It seems that women, young and old, will always have an expectation of beauty, and will never give up the pursuit!
