Chapter 35: A Girl in the Age of Innocence

I brought back a bunch of high school textbooks, but they were basically just piled up there.

Time has slowly come to the end of March, the season of shirts has begun, boys wear a T-shirt or vest as a base, the outside shirt is not buttoned, and when riding, the wind brings up the coat and flies.

In the era of fluttering white clothes, the girl in the back seat of the bicycle, I haven't forgotten it, how many years later, she is probably still in her heart, and occasionally remembers, it is still a spring breeze, and she can't reach it.

It's a pity that the dress will not be taken out later, and the skirt is too long this year, Jiang Che is very disappointed in this, because his aesthetic is legs - this is definitely not the aesthetic standard of 92.

In general, during this period of time, I kept listening to the radio every day, paying attention to the newspaper, usually messing around with friends and classmates, going to and from class, restaurants and restaurants, and my mentality became much younger.

Even the dance party of the medical school next door, Jiang Che went to it twice.

Facts have proved that Jiang Che, who is single again, is actually quite marketable, most of the others invite girls to dance, and he met two active ones at the medical school, one purely looks at the face, and the other is out of sympathy, because of the relationship between Qiong Yao drama, Jiang Che, who is full of "tragedy", was comforted by the sympathy of the little nurse, whispering and soft waist - it would be better if he was in uniform.

Jiang Che's wind and water were so angry that Zheng Xinfeng had to "wipe the glass" (break dance) on the spot to save face, in the words of Hong Kong films, the dance party of every school in the neighborhood was the venue of his town.

Of course, Jiang Che also inevitably got to know Su Chu during this time.

Su Chu called Jiang Che Pillow, and this nickname was slowly opened by her.

How to say it, don't say that Jiang Che doesn't have that mind, even if he does, he can't be ambiguous with her, this is a self-acquaintance buddy, plus an annoying poisonous tongue, and he still has a pampered pet problem.

In this era, her personality will be hated by many people when she first comes into contact with her, and it will be difficult for most people to accept.

If you say that someone else is a "foodie", others will scold you for being a rice bucket, and if you say "you are a bewitching slut", people will have to fight with you for your dignity.

Jiang Che is not bad, after all, he has seen the new new human beings in the 10s and the people with flamboyant personalities in the Internet era, who are more inclusive, and get along well when they don't have many contacts.

In addition, between him and Ye Qiongzhen, they can also nod and greet normally.

Don't avoid people, once, twice, three times, as Jiang Che said, soon no one cares and cares about it anymore.

And then that's all, classmate Ye still continued to walk steadily step by step for her distant dream of going abroad.

……

……

Compared with the lack of progress on Jiang Che's side, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother opened their shop with the diligence and time of a farmer.

The store is not far from Jiangche's school, about a 20-minute walk.

This store is just like Jiang Dad's previous plan, the investment is not large, and Jiang Che has very little participation...... Just twice.

The first time, it was his parents who came up with two alternatives, a clothing store and a small store, and asked for his opinion.

This is the beginning of business that most people think of in this era, and if we do a questionnaire to people who have been in business in the 90s, we will find that half of them have opened clothing stores.

Jiang Che thought about it at the time and said to his parents that from the perspectives of contacting and communicating with people, enriching purchase channels, and price negotiations, the exercise significance of the store may be a little smaller.

So Dad Jiang decisively chose a clothing store, with shoes for sale, the emerging travel shoes.

In fact, the store can also slowly go to the direction of the supermarket, maybe there can be a breakthrough effect, but for now, let the parents accumulate experience is still the first priority, their ability, and there is no way to establish an independent supermarket, because this era is different later, channel things have not been established, and the selection and purchase of goods are not convenient enough.

The second time, it was Jiang's father who came up with a store name and asked Jiang Che's opinion.

The name of this store is "Yiyi", and Jiang Dad means men, women, and from the old to the young, clothes and shoes of all ages are sold, so that the customers are wide and the business is easy to do.

To be honest, this idea was thought out as soon as I heard it, including the name of the store, but about this, Jiang Che denied it.

It's not that Daddy Jiang's idea can't be realized, the clothing stores in this era basically don't have a brand concept, and in the case of independent wholesale purchases, it is not difficult to come to whatever you want.

However, there is no sense of positioning, and there is no loyal customer base and directionality.

"We only sell clothes and shoes for children between the ages of 12 and 16 and 17. ”

Jiang Che finally put forward his own suggestion, stating three reasons.

The first is because most of the older people at this time still retain the habit of buying cloth and tailoring clothes, and few buy ready-to-wear clothes, and the children who are too young are basically the ones who are in charge of their parents.

Speaking of the second point, Jiang Che simply asked his parents directly: "You haven't bought New Year's clothes for a few years before?"

Jiang's mother thought for a while and said, "I have bought it twice, but your father really doesn't have it." ”

"What about mine?" Jiang Che asked rhetorically.

Jiang's mother became angry and said, "Don't you buy it for you every year? ”

Jiang Che smiled and said, "Understand, right? And for an age group, as long as they are ready to buy clothes, they will think of our store and slowly form a fame." ”

Dad Jiang nodded in approval.

Jiang's mother still sighed as before, "Why is my Che'er so smart."

The last point is based on the consideration of selection and purchase, just out of the countryside, the vision of parents is a big problem.

If you want to solve this problem, you can only start by following others to buy goods, and slowly cultivate your vision, Jiang Che is not prepared to worry about this, he believes in his father's consistent ability to study and learn.

For now, we should try to avoid this issue as much as possible.

So from the perspective of parents, choosing clothes for their children is also a way to do it, no matter what, it is much more reliable than asking parents to choose clothes for people in their twenties and thirties.

After all, the autonomy of children in these years is far from being as great as it was later, and many times, the vision and judgment of parents is the final selection criterion, for example, if the child wants to buy a good-looking one, the parents should choose a firm one, the child wants to fit, and the parents will want the clothes to be wider and wear them for two years......

In short, close to the end of March, this clothing store with a very earthy name and a handful of Jiang Che called "Flower Season and Rainy Season" was opened.

There was no overly dΓ©cor, no trendy design, and no grand, innovative opening ceremony......

Parents didn't let Jiang Che go to the store often, and kept saying: "You will be the one who wants to hold the public iron rice bowl in the future, don't delay time, so as not to be seen by your classmates and look down on you." ”

At this time, people's evaluation of opening a store and doing business is still very derogatory.

So there is one thing that Jiang Che didn't know until a few days later - Zheng Xinfeng, this guy, inquired about the name of the store with Jiang Che, and secretly ran to the door of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's store to perform break dancing, and one dance lasted for two days, from morning to night.

His breakdancing is the level of winning prizes in provincial competitions.

The eyes of the young crowd were quickly gathered......

"We haven't seen your classmate before, and at first I thought it was here to make trouble, tying a red confinement belt, wearing a strange glove, and jumping around strangely at the door of our store. At first, your father was not there, and I didn't dare to go up to catch people, so I was angry...... As a result, I saw a lot of people coming around, and when he came around, he panted and smiled, and greeted people in our store one by one...... Tell him to rest, and he won't rest......"

Jiang's mother later described this to Jiang Che, and the family was moved and emotionally moved while laughing.

Jiang Che said: "No wonder he had difficulty even walking for several days in a row. ”

Jiang's father said: "This kind of friend is rare, you have to be worthy of this affection." ”

In short, the business of the "flower season and rainy season" has become popular to a certain extent.

After counting the turnover on the first night, the net profit was calculated, more than 400, and Jiang's father and Jiang's mother didn't sleep all night.

Later people often say that in the 90s, fools could make money by opening a store, which is not entirely true, but at least part of it is true, it is indeed easier to do business in this era......

Among them, small competition and few choices are the main reasons.

At this time, although the relationship between supply and demand has been much more balanced than in the 80s, it has not been completely reversed, and at the same time, there is no Internet, and the days of physical stores are still at the beginning of their heyday.

The "consequence" of the good business is that Jiang's father has to frequently replenish and purchase goods.

Jiang's mother couldn't be busy alone, so Jiang Che went to help in his spare time or on Sundays, and he was basically not likely to be kicked out.

……

It was an evening that day, Jiang Che and his mother were busy in the store for a day, dragging a tired body to sit outside the store to eat, Jiang's father came back from the purchase, and a bowl of rice that he only ate two mouthfuls was placed on the small folding table, and he accompanied a guest in the store to pick out clothes......

As long as he is there, his wife and children will always be the object of care, this man is trying to adapt to the changes in life, the only constant is his diligence as a farmer.

Jiang Che took a bite of food and looked up.

A figure came from the other side of the dilapidated street, in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After more than two months, Jiang Che met the factory girl again, Tang Yue.

She is still wearing the blue textile factory overalls, or she may have changed, but the uniform is exactly the same, the blue overalls are clean and tidy, maybe they have been washed for a long time, and occasionally a few pieces are white, some are old, but when worn on her, it is like a special decoration, and the old is also old in the 90s.

She stood under the plane tree outside the store.

This moment.

You can see from the slightly white lips she pursed, and in the faint difficult gaze hidden, in the hardship that she opened her mouth several times but couldn't speak, you can see the age of innocence.

Jiang Che had to admit that she was obsessed, just like that day, when the two looked at each other through the car window, she turned her head in a panic......

After all, as a "later" person, I will always miss and long for such a girl with a rustic atmosphere, a quiet face and clear eyes.

After all, she is pretty.

And it looks like it's easy to bully - as long as she doesn't make a "big move".
