Squeezed into the car.

When I saw that the entire carriage was basically full, there were three seats left in the last row.

When Sister-in-law Zhou saw it, she hurriedly dragged the two of them towards a brisk walk, and said something in her mouth. "Hurry up, there's no seat for a while." ”

really let Sister-in-law Zhou say, and when Zhou Shujie and the others sat down, they saw that there were three or four passengers standing in the aisle of the car who did not rush to sit down.

The aunt, a flight attendant in her fifties, charged five cents per person for a ticket, so she took out a few small stools from under the seat of the car and placed them in the aisle for the standing people to sit down.

In the morning, they got up before dawn, Sister-in-law Zhou, Sister-in-law Tuesday thought about going to the city today last night, and they didn't sleep well in the middle of the night when they were excited.

Now that my stomach is full and my body is warm, I feel a little sleepy when I walk around the car.

Zhou Shujie saw that the two sisters-in-law were a little sleepy and didn't dare to sleep, so she said. "It's okay, you guys go to sleep, I slept well last night, and I'm not sleepy at all now." ”

When the two sisters-in-law heard this, they both laughed, and sister-in-law Zhou said: "Then look at it, we can sleep, oops, I'm sleeping." ”

After a while, they all fell asleep.

Except for a few whisperers in this car, a few people in the car basically didn't wake up, and they all fell asleep there.

Zhou Shujie really didn't dare to sleep, she really had a lot of money in her pocket.

This is really lost, and it will be delayed and distressed.

A little sleepy, she rubbed her eyes so that she could hold on for a while.

Their car left at seven o'clock in the morning, and they walked a little bit along the way.

It was past nine o'clock in the city. After getting out of the car, Zhou Shujie and the others didn't dare to stop, and directly inquired with the attendant about the location of the shopping mall, and the three of them went directly to the shopping mall.

When they arrived at the big shopping mall, it was already bustling with people.

Sister-in-law Zhou, sister-in-law Tuesday is quite excited, it is the first time they have seen so many people in such a big shopping mall.

Zhou Shujie felt that she had too high expectations.

This large shopping mall is not much like the market of later generations.

As soon as you enter the mall, you sell dry goods, you go inside, you sell meat, and you go inside, you sell vegetables and fruits. This is the one who sells clothes and electrical appliances.

Turning my head and thinking about this era, this mall is also good.

The three of them were afraid of getting lost, so you pulled me, and I dragged her straight to the innermost place where clothes were sold.

When you get to the innermost part, it's not so crowded, and there are a lot fewer people, not as many people as the places that sell vegetables.

The place where the fabric is sold is lit with lights, and the lights are dangling on the fabric, which makes the fabrics very bright.

The style of the ready-to-wear is also very good, and they are all made according to the appearance of people in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Now there is no need for tickets, and money is used to buy things, so there is no such thing as a bad service attitude.

All the sellers were very enthusiastic, and when they saw Zhou Shujie and them coming, they greeted them, just like their own family, but they were affectionate.

"Big girl, what do you want to buy? Come and see the fabric you see in our house, I tell you, it's best to count our fabrics here and it's cheaper, you see what you want, I'll give you a cheaper." "The eldest sister standing behind the stall is a visionary, and when she looks at Zhou Shujie, she knows that she is a master who can spend money.

Zhou Shujie and the others saw that this eldest sister was really good at talking, so they stopped in front of her stall and took a closer look at the fabrics and ready-to-wear she sold.

Don't say it, she really sells more of this style than others, and the colors of the fabric are more complete than others.

The two sisters-in-law were watching the ready-to-wear on the side, and Zhou Shujie was there and said to the boss. "Since the eldest sister said that you have all the goods here, then I will buy them from you, do you have any materials for making cheongsams here?"

The eldest sister who sells goods heard that Zhou Shujie wanted to buy the material for the cheongsam, and her eyes lit up.

After taking a closer look at Zhou Shujie, and then looking at the hairstyle on her head, she smiled and said, "Sister, you are really a knowledgeable person, you really found the right person." If you want to go to someone else's place, he will definitely not be able to take it out. The whole market only uses this kind of material from my house. Let me tell you this, all of this in my house was saved before, and if it wasn't saved before, there wouldn't be much left now. Later. You don't have any more money to buy this stuff. ”

As she spoke, she dragged a large box from the bottom of the shelf behind her. When the box was opened, four pieces of cloth of different colors were revealed.

There are really not many of these fabrics like she said, only one of the four is relatively much, and the other three look like they are all so thin and small, and they are about to be gone.

Looking at her box, she is really exquisite, Zhou Shujie feels that she should be a camphor box.

It is made for the purpose of containing these fabrics, or this box cannot be the same length as these cloths.

It seems that what this eldest sister said is also the truth, and their family is really careful to collect these fabrics.

The eldest sister took out all the fabrics from the box, put them on the counter, and said while letting Zhou Shujie look at them. "This is all my mother's dowry pressure box thing. I wasn't going to sell it either. Big sister, you also saw that my stall is bigger than others. To be honest, there is a lot of money in this foundation, and my capital turnover is really not very ....... After receiving this stop, he glanced at Zhou Shujie with his eyes, and he didn't say anything more if he understood what it meant.

Zhou Shujie really understood, what she meant should be that she was short of money.

Tsai took a closer look at the fabrics.

There were four horses in total, and the most one was a batch of emerald flannel, and this one had the most left, and she thought it might be because this one was the most expensive.

The remaining three, one is sapphire blue, one is creamy, and the other is a particularly vivid apricot red.

Zhou Shujie doesn't know much about these materials for cheongsam, is it good to pour the bottom like this, but when she touches it, she feels that the feeling is still quite good. She asked. "Eldest sister, how do you sell all this fabric?"

The eldest sister waved her hand very angrily and said. "I'll sell you these three fabrics for two dollars a foot, girl, I'll be honest with you, this is really the cheapest price." Then he pointed to the green velvet sermon. "This is the most expensive one I have here, and if you want to take the lowest girl, you have to give me five yuan a foot." ”

Zhou Shujie was startled when she heard the price, she didn't expect this fabric to be so expensive, and it was still sold by rulers.

Fortunately, she was mentally prepared and did not show surprise on her face.

Fortunately, her mother-in-law gave her some money again, otherwise she might not be able to buy anything else but cloth today.

This is aside, and there are really few people who can afford it.

But even if you can afford it, it's just fabric.

You don't know how to embroider or anything, and you can't make a cheongsam if you take it home and do it.

Thinking about the prices of those famous fabrics in later generations, this is really a small thing, and it is not very expensive.

Originally, she only planned to buy two pieces, but when she saw the color, she liked both of them.

Zhou Shujie thought about it carefully, and said to the eldest sister who sold the goods, "Give me four meters for these three colors, and six meters for this green one." ”

The eldest sister who sold the goods widened her eyes when she heard that she wanted so much, and said with a grin. "Okay, sister, wait, eldest sister measures to see if there are four meters of cloth." ”

The happy eldest sister smiled from ear to ear, she really had never touched such a large number of customers.

The fabrics that others buy are all about rulers, but this one buys fabrics on rice!

The eldest sister who sold the goods took out a ruler and measured it, and the sapphire blue one was less than four meters away. That batch of milky white was indeed more than four meters and a foot. There were more apricot-red ones left, and there were a few laps left after measuring four feet. She measured six meters for Zhou Shujie on the top of the green one and cut it out.

This sapphire blue one is one foot apart, and this milky white one is one foot more, and this back and forth is considered a combination.

The eldest sister who sold the goods said: "Sister, you see that this one foot is one foot away, and this one foot is one foot more." Putting two together is considered a sum, so do you think it's okay?"

Zhou Shujie is also a relatively good talker, so he agreed.

The eldest sister who sold the goods took out the abacus as soon as she saw that Zhou Shujie agreed.

Crackling one by one, one by two, one by two.

The green flannel is 100 yuan, and the other three pieces together are 72 yuan, so that the total is 172 yuan.

After settling the bill and paying the money, the eldest sister took out two more pieces of fabric from the counter.

The two pieces of cloth are one black and one white, the white one is thin and the black one is fluffy. handed it to Zhou Shujie and said. "This is the ruler that was sold before, and there are not many girls, so you can take it." If you want to make a cheongsam, you have to have a piping, and these should be able to make two bodies. ”

Zhou Shujie saw that this boss was so atmospheric, she didn't give anyone politeness, and accepted these two rulers with a smile.

Zhou Shujie is a neat person. She didn't buy them all here, folded them and put them in her pocket, and her two sisters-in-law over there looked at the ready-to-wear and didn't decide whether to buy it or not.

Zhou Shujie, put on her own triangle pocket with fabric, went to the two sisters-in-law and asked them what they liked?

Tuesday's sister-in-law pointed to the hanging garment. "Sister, look at that coat, is it similar to the one you wear, do you think I can look good in it?" My sister-in-law and I want to buy one by ourselves, but I don't know how much she sells it. ”

Zhou Shujie glanced at it, don't say that the dress is really similar to her style. As for whether you know how much money you have, isn't it over asking?

She looked at the eldest sister who came with her and asked. "Eldest sister, how do you sell these two clothes?"

The eldest sister looked at her and pointed to two pieces of clothing. Happy again, he said with a smile, "Oh, sister, why don't you say that you have vision, let me tell you that this is a product that came in Hong Kong." Or did our relatives bring it to me, just these two pieces. You can see if you can wear it, if you can. The eldest sister will definitely give you a real price. ”

Zhou Shujie said. "Okay, then big sister, you take it, let's try it, if it really works, we'll buy it." ”

Both coats are earthy yellow in color. One dress is long to the knee and one is short to the butt.

Sister-in-law Tuesday is half a head taller than Sister-in-law Zhou, so she chose the long one.

Sister-in-law Zhou, I picked the one that was a little fatter to the buttocks.

You don't have to say that two people wear it, it's really decent, it's very good-looking.

They all turned around twice in front of Zhou Shujie, and they looked at each other and thought they looked very good. I was moved, I wanted to buy it and took it off and asked the boss. "We're all dressed appropriately, big sister, how much is this?"

The eldest sister who sells the goods said with a smile. "Okay, eldest sister won't lie to you, just be honest for a while, if you want to have both, give me a hundred yuan." ”

"Ahh

"One hundred! It's too expensive, no, no, we don't want it. ”

After Sister-in-law Zhou finished speaking, she dragged Zhou Shujie and was about to leave, afraid that people would rely on them for a while.

Originally, when Zhou Shujie bought the fabric just now, they heard it, and when they heard that the fabric was five yuan a foot, Zhou Shujie also bought six meters. I felt that she really dared to spend money, it was too expensive.

Now when I heard that these two clothes cost a hundred yuan, the two of them really couldn't stand it, it was too expensive.

was dragged by her sister-in-law to leave, but Zhou Shujie stood still, and said with the boss bargaining. "Eldest sister, you also saw these two clothes, my two sisters-in-law really like them." You don't want to say that two pieces of clothes are a hundred, you just say that fifty of this long body is okay, if you want to say that this is a little shorter, he must not be at the same price as the long one, and you are giving a price for this short one, I will listen to it. ”

Sister-in-law Zhou and sister-in-law Tuesday pulled Zhou Shujie and said. "Don't ask, Shujie, let's go quickly, it's so expensive, we don't dare to wear it, let's go quickly." ”

Zhou Shujie looked at the two of them and said. "Oh, you two will let this eldest sister say another price later, let's hear it." ”

When the eldest sister who sold goods saw them like this, she was afraid that they would really leave, so she thought about it and said. "Then you can give forty for this short one." This really can't be cheaper, girl, no matter how cheap it is, my eldest sister and I even lose my book. ”

As soon as Zhou Shujie heard this, she also knew that she was telling the truth. He nodded. "Okay, I want these two clothes." ”

"Hey, my sister is really happy, okay, eldest sister, I'll fold it up for you. The eldest sister who sold the goods was full of smiles, and folded the clothes with her hands and feet, and she sold a few large pieces this morning, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became.

Here, Sister-in-law Zhou and the second sister-in-law were in a hurry, pulling Zhou Shujie and muttering quietly. "Shujie, this is really too expensive, we didn't bring that money, we don't have money for others, let's not want it." ”

Zhou Shujie said with a smile. "It's okay, I brought money, I didn't buy you any gifts for you when you married my brother, these two clothes are my gifts for the two of you." ”

When the two sisters-in-law heard that Zhou Shujie wanted to buy them this dress. I'm not afraid that there will be no money for others, but when I think about it, the price of this dress, and I feel that it is too expensive, and both of them shake their heads and wave their hands, saying that they don't want anything.

Zhou Shujie didn't care what they said, when he got there, he put the folded clothes in the triangle pocket, and paid the money directly.

Zhou Shujie finished paying the money and led the two sisters-in-law to leave, and the eldest sister who sold the goods saw that the big customer was leaving, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, sister, you wait a while, I still have something here, you see if you want it, this is cheap, this is not expensive." ”

She was afraid that they would be too expensive, so she hurriedly greeted that this was cheap.

As soon as I heard her say that it was cheap, the two sisters-in-law stopped before Zhou Shujie and looked back to see something.

When Zhou Shujie turned around, someone took out something and put it on the counter, which really attracted her attention.

It turned out to be wool!

Nowadays, weaving is popular in big cities, and woolen yarn is selling very well.

They don't know if they can sell it in this small town, so the eldest sister wants to try to sell these wool when she comes back.

Don't say it's a good thing, it's warm and lightweight to wear, and she's pretty good.

The two sisters-in-law had never seen wool of this color, and what they had seen was the red yarn of the head-tie rope that was sold.

The one that the eldest sister took out should be considered yellow, but the color is not well tuned and dyed darker, and in this era, this color is quite bright.

Zhou Shujie and the others are also very short of time at this time, so they didn't bother to say anything, and asked the eldest sister who sold the goods to take out all the wool of any other color.

This eldest sister didn't have much goods in total, only two faces, in addition to this yellow one, there was also an old red one.

Each of the three of them took a pair of knitting needles, and the two sisters-in-law bought enough to knit a sweater.

Zhou Shujie bought more, bought the whole family's, and bought the old red one for her mother-in-law.

This time, there was nothing to buy here, so I led my two sisters-in-law to the next house to see what electrical appliances were inside.

Now this electrical appliance is really too few, but it is not like the dazzling appearance of later generations,

It's just a stall with two TVs and a couple of bicycles. The player played the most.

It's the kind that my sister-in-law bought when they got married on Tuesday and played songs.

There are several players in the channel.

Zhou Shujie really didn't have a match for these things.

Actually, they had electricity there, and she wanted to buy a TV set to go back.

But this time they only came with three women, and she couldn't get it back if she bought a TV.

After a closer look, she really found one she wanted, which was a wall clock.

The clock is a small attic with a pattern and inlaid with a galloping horse made of brass sheets. Further down is a large dial, below which is a pendulum, which looks like the kind of energetic one, and if you screw it up, you can walk for a few days.

When she saw this, she thought it was good.

Zhou Shujie asked the boss. "How did you sell this clock?"

The boss looked at them and said. "This clock is clockwork, and if you twist it, you can go for days. On the hour, it will also tell the time. It's a few rings when it's time. If you really want this wall clock, give it thirty dollars. ”

When Zhou Shujie heard this, she felt that the thirty yuan was not expensive, and she really liked it, so she asked the boss to move it to the counter and they wanted to take a closer look.

The two sisters-in-law also liked it very much, and when the boss moved to the counter, the three of them watched it inside and out.

After looking carefully, I made sure that there was no scrape, and where I touched it, Zhou Shujie paid the money and bought the clock.

The boss found her a wooden box and put the clock in for him. Tell her while pretending. "Take this clockwork and stick it in this hole." Twist it outward, this is the upper strength. Walk and screw it once every five or six days, and when you screw it, it feels almost the same, and you don't need to screw it too tightly. And this pendulum, if you have a child in your family, this clock rings quite loudly when you think about it, if you don't want him to ring, you see here, this can be taken down.

When you get home, you take it down, and it won't ring at night, and when you put it back in during the day, you'll be able to tell the time again. ”

After listening to the boss, Zhou Shujie said that he remembered it, and then the three of them held a box with a clock, each carrying a triangular son, and walked around the market.

The time to go shopping is the fastest, and before I can go shopping, the time is up.

Seeing that it was time to return, the three of them didn't dare to go any further, so they hurriedly took the things they bought and went to the bus station.

Their gains today are quite big.

Zhou Shujie won't talk about it, in addition to the fabric and wool he bought, there is also the clock. I also bought a lot of pinchfruits. watched her sisters-in-law buy twist flowers, and she also bought some.

In the end, she also bought three bundles of leeks. It's a winter novelty.

She kept one of the three bundles of leeks to make dumplings at home, and gave the remaining two bundles to her two sisters-in-law, so that they could take them back and eat dumplings.

In this winter, this kind of vegetable is not easy to store, and before they can get out of the door of this big shopping mall, the three of them stuffed this leek bag in a cotton coat.

When they got in the car and went back, the stomachs of the three people rang.

They also remembered that they had been shopping, and several people hadn't eaten at noon, and now it's two o'clock, can they not be hungry.

It just so happened that they all bought twist flowers, and everyone took out a twist flower from the bag and ate it.

Regardless of them, many people in the car didn't go to the restaurant to eat, they all bought baked cakes, twist flowers or something, and sat in the car to eat a little.

How to say eat a little, that's really not much.

Just like this strong man, this twist flower can eat ten roots alone, which may not be full.

I bought just a little, and I wanted to take it home for the children to eat, so everyone ate a hair flower, two baked cake mats, and I didn't eat the stomach ache if I wasn't hungry.

When I came, there were people in the car who didn't sit in it, and this time I bought things, and there was no place in the car, even Zhou Shujie and the others were sitting there, with things in their arms and feet under them.

This swayed and leisurely, and it was almost dark in the afternoon before I arrived at the county seat.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Brother Tuesday waiting for them there.

As soon as he saw them get out of the car, Brother Tuesday hurriedly greeted them.

I helped them carry all their things to the ox cart, let them sit down and cover the quilt, and began to drive home.

They weren't halfway there when it was getting dark.

The rest of the way is to rely on the old cow to walk in the dark.

It is said that this old horse knows the way, but in fact, this cow is also like this, the road it often walks, it itself knows how to walk, and it can walk home without you directing it.

entered Tunzi, and as usual, Zhou Shujie was sent back first.

After Zhou Shujie closed the gate and entered the courtyard, they caught up with the ox cart and walked back.

Hearing the sound of the door, her mother-in-law knew that Zhou Shujie was back.

When they saw her enter the house with a large bag, the two children also knew that this was their mother's return.

They hadn't looked at her mother for a day, and they all thought about it a little.

When I saw that their mother was back, they didn't wait for their mother to put down their things, so they all pulled his mother's pants and called for their mother to hug them.

Zhou Shujie put the things in his arms on the kang.

took off her coat, then reached out and picked up the two children, took off her shoes and put them on the resistance, and let them see what she had bought.

While doing it, he said as if reporting to his mother-in-law. "Mother, I bought four pieces of cloth, can you take a look?" I also bought a clock, do you look good?"

Her mother-in-law opened the Sanjia pocket containing the fabric and saw that the four pieces of cloth were really good, took them out and touched them carefully, and said with a smile. "Okay, you've bought these pieces of fabric really well. ”

It has been affirmed by my mother-in-law, an expert.

Zhou Shujie was also happy, opened the box containing the clock again, and showed the bell to her mother-in-law.

Before her mother-in-law could take a closer look at this thing, the two children surrounded her.

To say that children love to find food first, I didn't expect her two children to be more interested in this than food.

Until Zhou Shujie turned on the clock, put it on the lid of the cabinet, and the two children didn't see enough.

Eating candy in his mouth, sitting on the kang with his eyes, staring at the pendulum vigorously, looking back and forth.

The way the two of them followed the pendulum back and forth, which made Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law happy.

The things I bought were all packed up, Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law asked. "Haven't you eaten yet?" There is hot rice in the pot, take it out and see if it's still hot, don't burn it anymore. ”

It's been a long time since I've been in the house, and she's been relieved, and she's really a little hungry.

When she heard that her mother-in-law had left her food, she happily responded and went to the outhouse to find food.

On Tuesday, my brother arrived at home and unloaded the car, moved his things into the house, and left food for them at home.

After eating, it was not cold, and when they came to relieve themselves, the two of them began to excitedly learn to their mother-in-law what a big shopping mall was like, and took out the things they bought to show their mother-in-law.

finally took out the coat that Zhou Shujie bought for them. I was embarrassed to tell my mother-in-law about buying this coat.

When Aunt Zhou heard this, it was really a thing.

When Zhou Shujie got married, the conditions of their family were really bad at that time, and they didn't give any dowry, so how could this niece buy such an expensive thing for her two daughters-in-law now.

She didn't complain that her daughters-in-law had accepted the gift. Just talking to the two of them. "This dress is quite expensive, since you bought it, then you two can wear it." You can't let Shujie take all this money, I'll give you both fifty yuan tomorrow, and you go and send the money to Shujie. ”

As soon as they heard their mother-in-law say this, the two daughters-in-law were at ease. The two of them were really afraid that the things that the sister-in-law bought would be too expensive, and the two of them were not satisfied with the mother-in-law after accepting it like this.

When I heard my mother-in-law say that she wanted to give them money, the two of them shook their heads like rattles, and they didn't want anything, they all said that they would take the money and send it to Zhou Shujie tomorrow.

The next day, Zhou Shujie received money from her two sisters-in-law.

After pushing for a long time, there was really no way, and finally she accepted it.

It just so happened that her second brother had come with her second sister-in-law, and they sat in the house and talked for a while, and then they talked about their going out next year.

As soon as he heard that he was going to work for others, Zhou Shujie said. "Second brother, don't just think about working for others, how productive can that be." You go out and see if you can do something. When the time comes, you write to me. I'll give you the capital, and you will manage it. When the time comes, I'll get half of it, do you think it's okay?"

When Brother Tuesday and Sister-in-law Tuesday heard that there was such a good thing, how could they not agree, so they quickly nodded with a smile and agreed.

They didn't feel that they couldn't do any business, in case they accompanied her money again, they were very confident that as long as they had the capital, they would definitely be able to make money.

Then the plans of these two people changed again, originally they just planned to go out to find a job and work for others, but now they are going with the intention of doing business and trading. Then some things have to be revisited.

chatted at Zhou Shujie's house until the evening, and then decided to go to Shenzhen after the New Year. If there is really any business opportunity, send a telegram to Zhou Shujie and ask her to send money to the two of them.

From this day on, Zhou Shujie became his second brother's partner.

is still a partner who only takes money and doesn't do anything, but waits for dividends.
