Chapter 33: Shopping
"My family show is really capable, and his brain is better than others." Zhou Shuilian said happily.
"Mother, don't talk nonsense about this, it's not good to let others know, it's not allowed to do this now." Mu Xiu said with a solemn expression.
"What? Is this a crime? Zhou Shuilian suddenly became nervous.
"No, just don't talk nonsense anyway." If Mu Xiu hadn't explained the origin of the money because she couldn't explain it, she wouldn't have said so much to Zhou Shuilian, this mother is too timid.
"Don't do such a thing in the future, it's really useless, mother, let you take the risk." Zhou Shuilian's face was annoyed.
"My sister still needs money, I promise, be careful." Mu Xiu comforted Zhou Shuilian.
"Is my sister making trouble?" Mu Xiu glanced at her sister who was asleep on the hospital bed, the little baby in the confinement was really coaxing, and she slept for 20 hours a day.
"The doctor came just now and said that your sister's illness is well controlled, and according to the current situation, she will be discharged from the hospital soon." Zhou Shuilian's tone was relaxed.
"That's good, I'll peel apples for you to eat, and you can rest."
"It's spending money again." Zhou Shuilian looked at the apple, she couldn't remember the last time she ate the apple.
"Grandpa Lu gave it." Mu Xiu is now pushing everything on Lu Niandong, anyway, it is impossible for Zhou Shuilian to ask in person.
"People care about us so much, you must do things well." Zhou Shuilian emphasized again.
"Mother, don't worry." Mu Xiu handed the peeled apple to Zhou Shuilian.
"Come, let's eat together."
Looking at Zhou Shuilian, who was only willing to eat a small piece and gave her at least two-thirds of the apples, Mu Xiu's heart was warm, it was okay to be poor, as long as their hearts were together, she would definitely lead everyone to live a rich life.
Mu Xiaohua doesn't have to go for exchange transfusion treatment now, she just shines blue light for a few hours every day, because her condition has been improving, and Xiaohua's spirit is getting better and better, and she is no longer like she was listless every day before.
Mu Xiu teased her sister for a while, and Mu Xiaohua fell asleep again, the child in the month just ate and slept and ate.
"Mother, you can sleep for a while, I'll go out and see, what is there to eat, buy it and cook for Grandpa Lu at night." Mu Xiu found a reason, she wanted to go to the downtown area of the provincial capital.
"Go ahead, don't run far." Zhou Shuilian yawned, Xiaohua was very quiet during the day, but she always hummed and ate night milk at night, and she didn't get enough sleep every day.
Mu Xiu nodded, gently closed the door of the ward, and walked towards the outside of the hospital.
For Sunan City, Mu Xiu is not familiar. But in the previous life, she also traveled a few times, but, counting the days, what she saw was Sunan City decades later.
"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this was the same place, and the time of decades had changed so much." Mu Xiu looked at the current Sunan City, and even felt inferior to a county-level city later.
At the moment, looking at the street signs, this is the famous pedestrian street later, every inch of land is expensive, and the flow of people is very large, but now, as far as the eye can see, there are only two asphalt roads on the main street, and the roads in other places are still potholed cement roads.
There are state-run shops on both sides, including supply and marketing cooperatives, hardware stores, pharmacies, restaurants, inns, grain stores, etc., each of which is hung with a serious plaque and slogans with the characteristics of the era.
For example, on the supply and marketing cooperatives, it is pasted with the words "develop the economy and ensure supply." The slogan, red paper and black letters, may be a long time ago, the red paper has faded, and some places have been damaged by the wind, whirring and sticking on the windows of the supply and marketing cooperatives, like a spirit flag, there are few people on the street, even if there are, they are in a hurry.
Mu Xiu thought about it and decided to pull some cloth from the advanced supply and marketing cooperative, although she has complete space and materials, but the cloth of this era is too distinctive, and she really has no space.
Zhou Dujuan asked Mu Shui to bring some clothes over, but these clothes were very ill-fitting, Mu Xiaohua was too thin, the smallest clothes, Mu Xiaohua put them on, and with a slight movement of her hand, she could stretch out from the collar of her clothes, and Mu Xiaohua wrapped these clothes, which was very inconvenient to move.
Adults' clothes can be improvised, but the shoes are ...... Mu Xiu's shoes are full of holes, and Zhou Shuilian's can only be worn as slippers, so Mu Xiu plans to tear some cloth first, make a small dress for her sister, and then buy a pair of shoes for her and Zhou Shuilian.
Mu Xiu gave the money she earned to Zhou Shuilian, but Zhou Shuilian even handed over all the money given by Mu Shui to Mu Xiu for safekeeping, and Mu Xiu did not shirk it, anyway, she was doing it for food and clothing to pay the hospitalization fee, and the money was placed in Zhou Shuilian's place, which was troublesome again and again, besides, Mu Xiu still had some selfish ......
The supply and marketing cooperatives are similar to the small shops of later generations, they are all bright glass cabinets, with all kinds of items, and two or three salesmen chatting behind the glass counters.
At that time, being a salesperson in a state-owned store was an iron rice bowl that would be envied, the work was leisurely, the treatment was good, and it was not a related person, and it was generally impossible to get in.
Hearing the movement outside the door, there was a girl in her early twenties with curly hair, her eyes glanced to this side, and she saw Mu Xiu standing in front of the counter, she squinted her eyes and glanced at Mu Xiu, looking at her in gray clothes, with patches, and holes in her shoes.
"Sister, there is a ......" Mu Xiu walked over indifferently, and asked the curly-haired girl with a smile.
"Who's your sister?" The curly-haired girl interrupted Mu Xiu's words with a look of disgust, at this time, there was a shortage of materials, and people were generally begging to buy things, and no matter whether the things were sold or not, the monthly salary would not be less, so the attitude of the salespeople in the store was not at all as enthusiastic as the "customer is God" that came later.
"Salesman, do you have shoes?" Mu Xiu put away her smiling face, yes, she didn't have a hot face and a cold ass against others.
"Yes, how many pairs? How big is it? The curly-haired salesman said impatiently.
"Two pairs, a pair of 34 yards and a pair of 40, how much does it cost?" Mu Xiu reported the shoe size before he remembered to ask the price, but at the moment, the price of shoes is not expensive.
"Two pairs of 34 yuan, cash or food stamps." The curly-haired salesman quoted the price with a disdainful face.
"Huh? Why are shoes so expensive. Mu Xiu was still taken aback when he heard the price, two pairs of shoes cost thirty-four yuan, which is also too expensive.
"Heh, don't ask if you can't afford it, it's a waste of words." The curly-haired salesman looked like she had known you couldn't afford it, and she let out a sneer.
