Chapter 21: Worrying about the girl

The car started, Shen Yu didn't follow, and Meng Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yu stood in place and watched the car go away, the corners of his lips tugged lightly: the sense of defense is quite strong, it seems that it is not so easy to be abducted.

Entering the city, someone got off the train at one stop, Meng Tao looked out the window, his eyes lingered on the exquisite ancient buildings that were fortunate to be preserved, and sighed in his heart, to be honest, the provincial cities of D province in the seventies and two thousand years later, there is no comparison, each has its own beauty.

Hearing the conductor shouting that the first department store had arrived, Meng Tao got up and got off the car, she visited the department store in the living area of the steel mill yesterday, and then looked at the department store in the city today, the department store in the seventies is definitely not as good as the supermarket of later generations, and there is no way to do it, but it is a department store in a big city, which is always more advanced than the supply and marketing cooperatives and consignment stores in the countryside, and there are many more goods, and she has to prepare the things that women need to use every month.

The five-story department store, Meng Tao probably spent less than forty minutes shopping, and there were some places that I didn't see, and there was really nothing to see.

The thirty yuan on her body, she spent twelve yuan, plus a little cloth ticket, and bought two sets of underwear, and several underwear of the original owner, Meng Taohua, were patched, and they were so dilapidated that she had to replace them all.

What made Meng Tao worried was that there were no sanitary napkins in this era, so she had to buy three packs of high-grade toilet paper, three cents per pack, to prevent the sudden arrival of the menstrual period, and listened to the salesman who bought two boxes of sanitary belts (I don't know how to use them yet, so I have to go back to study and study).

Coming out of the department store, Meng Tao strolled along the street, went in when she met a store, and didn't care what people were selling, and also walked into the sales department of the agricultural machinery factory.

Aquatic products, vegetables and fruits, sugar, tobacco and liquor and other company stores have been seen one by one, worthy of being a provincial city, the goods are still quite rich, piled up on the shelves, and the supermarkets of later generations have to fight, but they all use the counter to stop customers, what to buy have to call the salesperson, take a fixed salary to eat the iron rice bowl of the salesman service attitude is usually not very good.

Meng Tao found a pawnshop on the corner of the street, next to the pawnshop is a Chinese medicine shop, two simple and old storefronts next to each other, which surprised Meng Tao: doesn't it mean that in this era of "breaking the four olds", Chinese medicine is not allowed to exist? Many old objects have also been smashed, and pawnshops and Chinese medicine shops can still be allowed? It really opened her eyes, and she couldn't figure it out.

She didn't have anything to exchange for money, so she didn't go to the pawnshop, but stepped into the Chinese medicine shop, and saw a few pills in the glass cabinet that were fried to sky-high prices in later generations, and now the price is only between a dozen and twenty yuan, the key is that the pill can really treat critical illness, life-saving, such a cheap price, she can't help but have her eyes round, but unfortunately she has too little money on her body, otherwise she will have to buy more and collect it, it is said that these pills have a long shelf life, and they can be put for decades.

After watching it for a long time, I finally reluctantly walked out of the pharmacy, a penny is difficult for a hero, and the little woman is also very sad when she has no money.

When you are tired of walking, you get on the bus and go to a few places where you have stayed in your previous life, in addition to the park landscape and places of interest, you can still see the original appearance, other streets and residential areas are not recognizable at all, and the future generations will re-plan and build the city, demolition, expansion and reconstruction, and the changes should not be too big.

Passing by a post office store, I couldn't help but walk in, spend two dollars to buy a few sets of stamps that were famous in later generations, and if I keep them without losing them, I can increase in value by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands after a few decades, which is more cost-effective than keeping money in the bank to earn interest.

Then he didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately, although he planned to get money from Tian Zhigao, wouldn't he have it yet, in case he spent all the money on preparing for the wedding, what if it was gone? No matter what, you have to save enough money to buy a return ticket.

Money, money, that's a goal.

Since it falls in this time and space, you have to live well, and you will earn everything by yourself in the future, if it is an era of open policy and free trade, Meng Tao is not worried about having no money to spend, she graduated from the College of Commerce and Trade in her previous life, and she can make money in business, but not now, it is not time yet, she can only earn some work in the production team, all year round, except for half-starved food rations, what is enough? Although Meng Tao understands the trend of history and knows that he will gradually get better in a few years, it is enough to survive in the past few years.

It is difficult to live a poor life after 90, she must find a way to make a living and improve her life, at least she has to eat and dress a little money.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Tao took a bus back to the steel mill.

Shen Yu received a call from a waiter at the service desk of the guest house, saying that Meng Tao had returned to the room and closed the door to rest, Shen Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and settle down.

Putting down the phone, he couldn't help frowning: No wonder all day long, I always felt that something was wrong, and I didn't even do things well, so I was still worried about that girl, afraid that she would be lost and lost.

At this time, in the living room of Yuan's house, Jiang Yushan sat on the sofa with Xian Fangfang in her arms, softly comforting, Tian Zhi lowered his head and listened to the lecture of Deputy Director Yuan:

"Usually I think you are a flexible person who can do things, but you can't fix a country girl, people live in this factory, and under your nose, you can't even get close to her?"

Tian Zhigao: "I don't know...... I didn't see her twice yesterday, and today I simply went out all day, she did it on purpose! Meng Taohua has changed too much, she didn't have this personality before. ”

Xian Fangfang said with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, you must help Zhigao." You have also seen Meng Taohua herself, uneducated, uneducated, and sinister, Zhigao, a senior intellectual, how can he live with such a rural woman? Zhigao was also innocent back then, just because his family was poor, he had to accept the Meng family's money and food, and he went upside down, which was also forced, and it was an insult in itself, didn't the Meng family just have a few dollars? Is it wrong for the poor? ”

Jiang Yushan patted her: "Don't be excited, you are a double body now." What her Meng family can do with money, we can too, how many times more can she give? ”

When Deputy Director Yuan heard the "double body", he frowned and glared at Xian Fangfang, but he couldn't say anything, after all, the two of them were pregnant after receiving the certificate.

"The seriousness of the problem now is that Old Man Meng did participate in the guerrillas to fight devils, that is, the old revolutionary, Meng Taohua, as his descendant, regardless of public opinion or the official, will favor her, no matter how innocent Tian Zhigao is, he can only accept punishment. I will try my best to keep a position for him, even if it is to go down to the workshop to be the lowest worker, you have to endure it first, wait for a while, and then plan slowly. ”

Jiang Yushan nodded: "Yes, let's keep the green mountains here, and we are not afraid of running out of firewood." ”

Xian Fangfang: "But Meng Taohua said that she wants to bring Zhigao back to the village and live with her." ”

"That girl is really ruthless enough, she wants the factory to fire Tian Zhigao, if she insists, she can do it in principle."

"Uncle!" Xian Fangfang shouted, and Tian Zhigao was also nervous and clenched his fists.

Deputy Director Yuan waved his hand: "Am I not still there?" I will go to talk to you Uncle Shen, and then talk to other people, and everyone will put forward their opinions when making a decision: after all, Zhigao is a talent who has spent money to train in the factory, and he has gone to other companies to learn from experience, and he has been in the technical team, and he is the technical backbone, and he understands the secrets of the products in the factory, and it is not easy to fire him. ”

Xian Fangfang and Tian Zhigao both breathed a sigh of relief.

Deputy Director Yuan said again: "Meng Taohua, you have to give her more benefits, stabilize her, as long as she doesn't continue to make trouble, this matter will pass quickly." The two of you have received a marriage certificate, and Meng Taohua's de facto marriage is also reasonable, so you can make up for it as you want to compensate - in short, you can do it yourself. Ten. One's wedding is going to be canceled, and what you need to do now is to keep a low profile, and then a low profile! ”

Xian Fangfang pouted, she had already prepared the clothes to wear for marriage, and she had thought about what hairstyle to comb, she and Zhigao would be the most beautiful and fashionable bride and groom in the whole factory, but they couldn't hold a wedding, didn't this make her and Zhigao regret it for life?

Meng Taohua, it's really hateful!
