After leaving the post office, Grandpa Xu took Duan Huan to the overseas Chinese remittance store again.

Pulling Grandpa Xu, he rushed to the watch counter to buy a watch for Grandpa Xu, and the counter was full of imported watches, Rolex, Tissot, Plum Blossom, Inag, ...... There are also Soviet-style Kirovsky, Leningrad, etc.

The salesperson at the watch counter is a young man, and he still has an impression of Grandpa Xu and Duan Huan, the grandchildren of Grandpa Xu, who didn't buy a watch yesterday because he didn't have enough overseas Chinese remittance coupons, so why did he have a ticket today.

However, those who can come to visit the overseas Chinese remittance store are not the owners of the money.

He still immediately put on a smiling face, "Old man, come to see the watch again today?" ”

"Big brother, we brought a coupon today, can you help my ancestor introduce a good watch?" A smile on his face.

At the beginning, the counter guy recommended Plum Blossom and Inag, but Grandpa Xu didn't say whether it was good or bad, and finally he tried to recommend Rolex.

"If you are not satisfied with anything else, you might as well take a look at this Rolex! This is the classic Air Master series.

It is a memorial to the Air Force, and it is said that the United States Air Force uses this kind of watch, which is accurate, wear-resistant, and most importantly, mechanical, without winding.

It is a first-class watch stipulated by the state! ”

I took a look at it, this Rolex is indeed a classic Air Master series, and I have seen someone collect Rolex in the fifties and sixties in my previous life.

"Zuzu, I think this watch looks the best!" Duan Huan shook Grandpa Xu's arm.

Grandpa Xu actually didn't have much feeling for watches, and when he was young, he preferred pocket watches and felt that he was very stylish.

The watch in his hand is still the one he used to have as an old regiment commander who said that the pocket watch was inconvenient, so he gave it to himself and has been wearing it until now.

Twenty or thirty years have passed, and the watch is indeed worn out of shape, and the mirror is no longer visible.

"Okay, okay, just say okay!" Grandpa Xu turned his head and asked the salesman, "Comrade, how much is this watch?" ”

"This has raised the price this year, and now the price is 538 yuan." The salesman replied.

The salesman is telling the truth, in October this year, the state did implement a policy of "raising prices and selling them openly" for clocks and watches.

Grandpa Xu nodded, "Okay, then this piece!" ”

Then he took out the money and the remittance voucher from his pocket and handed them to the salesperson.

The salesman also thoughtfully proofread the time before handing the watch to Grandpa Xu, who took it and didn't think much about it, and immediately replaced his old SH watch.

After buying the watch, Duan Huan stared at the clock next to him again, and Grandpa Xu asked Duan Huan to choose by himself.

I didn't like those gorgeous and exquisite imported clocks, but chose a small alarm clock made in SH.

The alarm clock is a brass appearance with iron belt, which looks very retro in Huanhuan.

After buying the alarm clock, Grandpa Xu went to the fabric counter opposite, ready to buy some fabrics and stock them up, so that he could make clothes for Duhuan in the future.

His current subsidy doesn't have many votes in a year, and most of them are saved to make clothes, and he basically wears his former military uniform.

In addition to wool, gabardine, and kappa fabrics, I also bought red, pink, and plaid fabrics that I bought for all my joy.

She also asked the salesperson for blue labor cloth, that is, denim.

"It's not a good color, little fish!" Grandpa Xu glanced at the labor cloth and felt that the color was not good, and the fabric was a little hard to touch.

He smiled, "Zuzu, I like cargo pants, can you use this material to make me a pair of cargo pants?" ”

When Grandpa Xu heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said to buy it, and finally fell in love with the silk that didn't need tickets, and bought a bunch of various colors.

The wool blanket looks warm and thick, and it's good, so let's add two.

The salesperson hurriedly packed and issued the ticket, and Grandpa Xu handed over the money and coupons unhurriedly.

When Grandpa Xu and Duan Huan went to another counter, the middle-aged woman who sold fabrics chatted with the young man who sold clocks and watches at the door.

"Xiao Wang, what watch did the old man buy just now? He looks rich! ”

"Rolex, the most expensive one on the counter, a full 538 yuan, or the little girl who brought it, I bought it when I said I bought it, and I didn't blink my eyes!"

"Spoil the child like this, it's not like words! I also bought a lot of them, and the girl doll also asked for labor cloth. ”

"But people also have that condition, looking at their posture, it cost at least a thousand yuan, and we can only save three or four hundred yuan a year without eating or drinking, which can't be compared to Sister Chen!"

In the end, I bought fabrics to sweep the food snack candy counter, and also bought a Wuliangye and Moutai, and a few cigarettes.

When he went out, Grandpa Xu carried a cloth blanket on his back, both hands were full of all kinds of canned snacks, and even Duan Huan carried two bags of candy and bread in his hands.

It seems that it's not just women who are chopping demons, but Grandpa Xu is also ruthless when he buys things.

Fortunately, there happened to be a taxi coming from the overseas Chinese shopping mall, and Grandpa Xu took Duan Huan to get into the taxi at this time.

After arriving here, it was the first time to take a car, and the model looked a little like Xiali. The rear half of the car is still canvas.

At this time, the comfort of the car is definitely not as good as later, the seat feels hard, the space in the car feels very narrow, and the steering wheel and other equipment in the driver's seat are also very simple.

The roads in the city are still paved with asphalt mixed with small stones, and there are potholes on the road from time to time, and every time I cross a pothole, I feel like I am being bumped up and down on my seat with the ups and downs of the car.

When I arrived at Kuanzhai Hutong, the driver opened a ticket, and the ticket cost was a total of four cents and six, and then think about the starting price of the taxi in Jincheng was 8 yuan, which was really cheap in comparison.

Grandpa Xu was carrying a bag of things, and when the neighbor saw him, he asked, "Old Xu, why did you buy so many things and move the supply and marketing cooperatives back?" ”

"I helped the neighbors and relatives in the countryside to bring it, they didn't have time to go to the city every day when they went to work, so I brought it back by the way!" Grandpa Xu also smiled and greeted the neighbors.

When I got home, I sorted out the things one by one, and the fabrics alone were placed in a lot on the table.

The light ones are put outside, and the heavy things are put into the space, so that you don't have to work hard when you go back tomorrow.

Grandpa Xu rested for a while, then took a bamboo pole and knocked down all the grapefruit in the yard.

"Zuzu, this grapefruit is not delicious, what are you doing when you beat it?" I wondered.

Grandpa Xu replied with a smile, "You won't eat it anyway, I'll beat it down and give it to the neighbors." Otherwise, someone will come over the wall to pick it, how can we take the initiative to send a favor! ”

"Zuzu is amazing!" I praised the old and refined Grandpa Xu.

Not to mention that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, her parents died early in her previous life, and there is no elder around her to mention her sophistication, she has just come out of society and has a straight temperament, and she has suffered a lot in the unit.

After dinner, I came back from dinner, and followed Grandpa Xu, who was carrying the basket on his back, to deliver grapefruit door to door in the alley.

Everyone politely took the grapefruit, and thanked Grandpa Xu gratefully.

At this time, most families are still basically half-full, and the supply of fruit is very small, and the average dual-income family has no time to queue up, let alone grab it.

Although Grandpa Xu said that bitter grapefruit is not delicious, it can be regarded as a fruit, and it can be mixed up with children.

knocked on the door, it was actually Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Hongxing, Mrs. Zhou was quite embarrassed to Grandpa Xu at this time, she was taught a lesson by bullying Huanhuan two days ago, and now the neighbors in the alley are still talking about it.

Duan Huan stuffed the two grapefruits into Zhou Hongxing's hand, and was about to withdraw, the atmosphere was too embarrassing to hold.

When I arrived at Huizhen's house, I finally met Huizhen's mother Wu Shuli, she didn't look tall, her skin was a little sallow, and there was a strong sadness between her eyebrows and eyes.

took the grapefruit from Grandpa Xu's hand, and his humble posture made Duan Huan feel very unbearable.

But after thinking about it, it is such a seemingly weak woman, patriarchal, as soon as she has something, she wants to take her own daughter to the extent that she is angry, which is really unseemly.

Huizhen also quietly took Duan Huan's hand and asked Duan Huan to play with him tomorrow, and Duan Huan told her that she was going back to the countryside tomorrow, and Hui Zhen's expression immediately became gloomy.

Duan Huan hurriedly said: "When I come back next time, I will definitely come to you to play tricks!" ”

After speaking, she also gave two pieces of candy to Huizhen, she always felt that the female baby in a patriarchal family was too pitiful.

If a father prefers sons over daughters, he generally shows that he does not treat his daughter and resents his wife.

The mother's patriarchal performance is even more terrible, she looks down on her daughter everywhere, and she blames her daughter for not being able to give birth to a son.

Just like Huizhen, who is not loved by her mother, and may even be abused by her mother, such a child grows up and has a worrying mental health condition.
