Chapter 80: Old Man
"What's wrong?"
The old man's voice looked at her eyes and softness, obviously liking her.
Su Ru's face turned red and coughed lightly, "I just think that grandpa, you don't look like a farmer." ”
The old man smiled, "The little girl's eyes are quite sharp, I really didn't farm before, but now I am." ”
There was a sense of loss in his eyes, and Su Ru couldn't guess the reason without thinking about it.
In this era, intellectuals were persecuted a lot, and this old man probably belonged to this category.
Su Ru glanced at him sympathetically, wanting to say a few words to the old man, but she was afraid of being listened to.
She actually wants to find a teacher for herself, after all, the future is the world of readers.
In her previous life, after she ran out of Dongxiang, she was illiterate, she didn't know a few big characters, and she ran into walls everywhere outside, and was bullied and ridiculed a lot.
It's a pity that she was not young at that time, and she couldn't learn a lot of knowledge, such as that English, no matter how she memorized the exam, she always didn't remember, let alone those math and physics, she looked at it like a book from heaven, the only thing that made her more pleased was that at least she had good Chinese grades and good handwriting, and she would not be fooled by people as illiterate.
So she later respected those who had good grades, as well as those who spoke foreign languages, and felt that these people were very powerful and smart.
This old man looks like a literate person, and the temperament on his body is not something that ordinary readers can raise, Su Ru can be regarded as having seen the world in his previous life, so he naturally knows that those who have been raised in the stack of books since childhood are the easiest to cultivate the type of old man.
It's a pity that there are so many people on the bus at this time, if she rashly asks the old man if he is a scholar, and is heard by someone who cares, she is afraid that it will cause trouble, so she simply holds back and plans to see where the old man gets off.
The old-fashioned bus is very slow, and the people who take this way are basically running to the department store, so when they get to the back, the more and more people are crowded, and Su Ru only feels that she is about to be squeezed into a meatloaf.
Even the arrogant woman just now was so squeezed that she couldn't speak, she just rolled her eyes vigorously, and it could be seen that she was in a very bad mood.
When she finally got out of the car, Su Ru felt like she had come back to life.
But what made her feel coincidental was that the old man she met in the car actually got off the car here in the department store.
"So coincidentally?"
The old man was obviously surprised, too, and he stood by the side of the road with a shabby snakeskin bag on his back, looking at the two siblings.
"You're here to buy something from the department store?"
"Well, grandpa, are you also here to buy something?" Su Ru asked curiously.
The old man shook his head and looked at the three-story department store, his eyes were very complicated, "I'm here to find someone." ”
"Oh......"
Su Ru scratched her head, not knowing what to say.
The old man took a deep breath and smiled kindly at the two of them, "Go quickly, I'll leave too." ”
"That'...... Goodbye grandpa. ”
Su Ru waved her hand, and the words hidden in her stomach were finally unspoken.
Su Wenfei was very excited at this time, when he was staring at the department store before, he wanted to go in and shop, but his pocket was empty, and he was embarrassed to go over at all, but this time he could take a good look at the places where people in the city walked.
"I've heard that there are some things that the department store handles that don't require tickets, so let's go take a look. ”
Su Wenfei couldn't wait to say, and without waiting for Su Ru to respond, he directly pulled her into it.
The two of them had great strength and were very flexible, and they quickly squeezed to the front like fish in water in the crowded building.
As soon as Su Ru entered, she saw that there were pullback rubber shoes for sale in front of her, and immediately rushed over.
These pullback rubber shoes are all processing goods, defective things that do not need tickets, the price is also very cheap, a pair of only one, a pair of regular-priced shoes on weekdays is five yuan, and you have to add a shoe ticket.
Although Zhu Mei gave her a ticket when she left, she didn't have a shoe ticket.
They are a family of seven, and they wear straw sandals woven by Zhang Xinghua at home on weekdays, and the only cloth shoes are the eldest brother and the second brother.
Including the cloth shoes she wears on her feet now, which are only worn when she goes to town, and she has already made up several holes, and it is very uncomfortable to wear.
Seeing that there are shoes for sale at this time, Su Ru is of course impossible to let go.
Even if it is a defective product, the quality of the original product is about the same.
In this era, the shoes made by the factory are still quite thick, with oil spots or wrong colors, or the code words are wrong, they are classified as defective products, and they will only be sold on the counter at a cost price, and the quality is still guaranteed.
This is also Su Ru's luck, this time the defective shoes from the factory have been piled up for a long time, if it weren't for the employees of the factory who couldn't eat them, they wouldn't have been sold in the department store.
Su Ru and Su Wenfei decisively carefully selected two pairs for their own family figures, but unfortunately, Su Ru and her little brother and sister are also young, and the pull-back rubber shoes here are not suitable for them to wear, so they can only buy them for their parents and eldest brother and second brother.
In addition to the shoes to be handled, there are also some towels and blankets.
Su Ru also picked some relatively small flaws to check out together.
A lot of things, and in the end, it cost less than ten yuan, which made Su Ru have to sigh that this money is much more than the purchasing power in the next few years!
There are other good things in the department store, but it's a pity that Su Ru doesn't have a ticket in her hand, at most she bought a few boxes of clam oil without a ticket, and the others can only be watched even if they are greedy.
Su Wenfei also stared at the bicycle counter, he had wanted a bicycle a long time ago, but he couldn't get a ticket without money, so he could only watch to satisfy his hunger.
The siblings bought something at the department store, which took less than an hour in total.
As soon as I came out of the gate, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I saw an acquaintance.
"Grandpa, haven't you found the person you're looking for?"
Su Ru approached curiously, it's been so long, the old man is still here, is it because he hasn't found anyone?
The old man raised his head, his eyes were a little red, and he couldn't speak, just shook his head vigorously.
At this time, a man of medium stature and thin stature came out with a cold face, and said impatiently to the old man, "Why don't you leave! Are you willing to kill me? Big brother, they have all been sent down by you, and I don't want the job I managed to find to be messed up by you again! We broke off the relationship at the beginning, if you pestered me with a dead face, be careful that I will report you again!"
"Patriotic, who is this...... behind the man, a woman followed, and as soon as she spoke, she saw the old man and Su Ru's brother and sister, and suddenly her face was disgusted, "It's you......"
