When it comes to popular clothing in the 80s, Zhang Cuixiang wouldn't have known if she hadn't lived for so many years.

Zhang Cuixiang's late husband was a soldier, and at that time, the monthly allowance and resettlement fee totaled more than 2,000 yuan. She thought that the money would be given to her two children to marry a daughter-in-law, but she couldn't touch it, so she kept it in the bank.

Who knows that saving money is not worth much, Xu Sen's favorite object wants three major items to get married, a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a black-and-white TV. The family's money can still be afforded.

Originally, Xu Sen had been in prison for a year in a fight when he was young, and Zhang Cuixiang was a little low in front of her in-laws, and the woman was beautiful. Zhang Cuixiang agreed to give a bride price of 200 yuan plus these three major pieces, and the woman accompanied a tape recorder, which was also decent.

It's just that Xu Lin disagreed.

The things that the woman asked for could be purchased, but buying these things was a posture of hollowing out the family's funds.

The family has no money, what should he do if he goes to college, what should he do if he gets married?

What's more, Xu Sen begged Zhang Cuixiang to buy a second-hand Jialing 70 before, and spent nearly 2,000 yuan, which was the money that Zhang Cuixiang sold the house in her mother's city.

Xu Lin thinks that his grandmother's family is dead, and he should have half of the money, why did Xu Sen spend it. Now the family's savings are only more than 2,000 yuan, and Xu Sen will spend it when he gets married.

The family property is not his alone, why?!

At that time, Xu Lin had not been admitted to university for two years, so he had to find a job in the factory. Even if you are a working class, you still have a lot of weight to talk at home.

Xu Sen thought that he would rely on this brother in the future, and he didn't dare to fight as angry as before.

He explained kindly that the TV set he bought belonged to the family, and the sewing machine and bicycle Xu Lin could also use it when he got married.

also said that Xu Lin was valued by the boss in the factory, and maybe he wanted him to be his son-in-law, but he was from the city, and there was a big brother who was not married.

Xu Lin sneered and said, "People from the city? If we don't sell my grandmother's big house and buy you that broken car, we will already live in the city and become city people. The study conditions in the city are good, and maybe I can get into university.

It's all me that you delayed, and I still have the face to say this kind of thing, and you are alone in this family? After enjoying all the benefits, you still want to get your hands on me, why are you so shameless? ”

Xu Sen was also angry when he heard this: "I am the eldest son in this family, and most of the family property should be mine." You have a salary of 80 yuan a month, and you can earn 2,000 yuan back after two years of work. Our mother still sells vegetables every day, won't all the money she makes in the future be yours? You really don't want your brother to marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Xu Lin was even more angry: "No matter how much money I make, it is my own, and the family's money should have my share!" ”

The two brothers quarreled for money for several days, and Zhang Cuixiang also thought that Xu Lin had money at work, and the boss had no money, so he acquiesced to Xu Sen's behavior.

In the end, the result of the coordination was that Xu Sen wanted to repay Xu Lin 1,000 yuan, which would be repaid in ten years.

As a result, neither was satisfied.

Since then, Xu Lin has hated Zhang Cuixiang in his heart for being eccentric, and he will not go home if he can go home after work. even watched Zhang Cuixiang being tortured by his daughter-in-law. Xu Sen also hated Zhang Cuixiang's partiality.

It was supposed to be the best of both worlds, but Zhang Cuixiang didn't get a good word.

Xu Sen didn't have that much money, and he often quarreled with his daughter-in-law in order to repay the money, and the family was not harmonious.

Ten years later, the money also depreciated, and when Xu Sen still had 500 yuan left, Xu Lin's face was green.

The words are far away, Zhang Cuixiang was reluctant to eat and wear for the sake of her children when she was young, and she didn't necessarily have to buy a new dress for three years. Later, I heard from my contemporaries about the TV "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" that I watched in the 80s, and I learned about the popular toad glasses and bell bottoms.

There are also sweatshirts, pull-back shoes, jeans, bodybuilding pants.

She got on the train with more than 2,000 yuan and asked for a sleeper. In the memories I learned later, in the 80s, car bandits and road rage were rampant, and some dared to grab things directly on the train.

To be insured, she wrapped the money in a handkerchief and put it in a pancake with a belt.

Fortunately, the road was safe, and when I arrived at my destination, I looked around, and the bicycles, buses, and a small number of cars came and went into a huge torrent.

The stalls selling clothes shouted and greeted the guests, Zhang Cuixiang saw a red dress, walked over quickly, picked it up and saw that the size was just right for Xu Tao.

Xu Tao hasn't bought new clothes for three years, and the clothes she promised to buy didn't succeed because she was in a hurry.

Seeing that she is well dressed up, she is particularly enthusiastic about selling clothes.

"Big sister, this red dress is in fashion, who doesn't wear a red girl on the streets and alleys now, I still have red shirts and jeans here, they are all sold well."

Zhang Cuixiang looked at the size and said wrap it up.

"Alas, it's exactly forty-eight yuan, and it is not easy to hear that your accent is from other places. Wipe a zero forty-five. "Selling clothes laughs passionately.

It is not for nothing that Zhang Cuixiang bought clothes for Xu Tao, Xu Tao has been working in other places since she was a child, and she married in other places when she grew up. Although he doesn't come back to see her often, he can't help but send her a thousand yuan every year.

The original owner originally thought it was little, but because she didn't cover the money in her hand, she was scavenged by her two sons.

The two daughters-in-law in the family didn't care about her, and the original owner didn't continue to eat three meals, and sometimes he couldn't even eat. Xu Tao knew about it, although she didn't like her either, but she didn't want her mother to starve to death. I came back from time to time and stuffed a few hundred dollars into her hand.

Because of the money that Xu Tao secretly sent, the original owner lasted a few more years.

Zhang Cuixiang bought clothes, so she inquired about where to buy the goods, and the stall was reluctant, Zhang Cuixiang stuffed it for fifty and said that she would bring the money.

This stall changed his face, and enthusiastically told her the doorway to purchase, and the purchase price of more than 500 pieces can be discounted by 20%.

Zhang Cuixiang went to the factory according to the instructions, and there happened to be a group of people who bought the goods, so she didn't speak, just followed them through the process.

The purchase price of that red skirt is ten yuan, jeans ten yuan, bell bottoms fifteen yuan, and flower shirt eight yuan. It's all cheap.

Zhang Cuixiang waved her hand to buy and buy, for fear of being robbed, she also asked someone from the factory to escort her to the station, gave her thirty yuan for transportation, and there was no way to use the official things.

It took a lot of effort to bring a large package of goods home.

Xu Sen didn't dare to take a step out of the house, the rumors in the city spread to the countryside, and there were fewer people walking at night. Some people don't dare to turn on the lights at night, for fear of being thought to be reading a bad book.

Zhang Cuixiang only remembered that the tense incident happened in the eighties, and she couldn't remember the specific year, but she didn't expect it to really come.

However, she was very happy to see Xu Sen'an divide it, and transported the package home while it was dark. Take out a few and think of it as a new dress for them.

Xu Tao heard a knock on the door and went to open it, and saw a fashionable woman standing outside, wearing lipstick, wearing a skirt, and leather shoes.

Look at the face, it's your own mother.

She shrunk back and didn't dare to admit it.

Zhang Cuixiang took out a red skirt from her pocket and threw it to Xu Tao, and said sarcastically: "What's wrong, look stupid?" ”

Xu Tao took the red dress and looked at it, she was so happy that she wanted to go to the sky, she couldn't control her crazy run in the courtyard, and shouted: "Woo Niang bought me a red skirt!" ”

When Xu Sen heard this, he hurriedly walked outside, and he didn't even see two pieces of clothing thrown at his head.

"Who?"

He took off his clothes and looked, "Yo! Flared pants! ”

I went to the house to change my clothes in surprise, Xu Tao was still shouting outside, he shook his head disdainfully, thinking that the girl had never seen the world.

However, he himself wore a floral shirt and bell-bottoms, and looked in the mirror.

Zhang Cuixiang said in advance: "If you wear this to the street, I will take your clothes back." ”

Xu Sen begged: "Don't, mother, what's the point of not wearing new clothes and looking at them by yourself?" ”

Zhang Cuixiang sneered: "Hehe, I would rather you wear nothing than you go to prison." ”
