Chapter 241: Shopping with My Sister (2000+)
There is a small road from the back of the martial arts merchant that can lead directly to Hanzheng Street, which is more than forty minutes away, which may seem a bit far away for the pampered city girl, but for the Tang Xiaofu sisters, who grew up in the countryside, it is just a walk.
The two sisters ate four braised eggs on the way, and Tang Xiaofu also bought stinky dried seeds and osmanthus paste for Xiaolan to eat, she really likes this sister.
She was an only child in her previous life, and she always wanted to have a younger brother and sister, and she went to protect them and take care of them. I have always had the complex of being a sister in my heart, and after crossing the rebirth, meeting such a good sister can be regarded as God fulfilling her dream~
Sometimes she can't understand why she can't understand why she says that the relatives after the crossing are cheap fathers, cheap mothers, cheap brothers or sisters, aren't these relatives relatives in her life, why use that kind of cheap tone!
Tang Xiaofu will not, since everyone is already a family, then we must love each other.
The two sisters walked and shopped, and from time to time they bought some snacks and arrived at Hanzheng Street.
Xiaolan was shocked by the prosperity of Hanzheng Street, and was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
Tang Xiaofu looked left and right, and saw that there was a stall selling tea, so he walked over and bought two cups of hot tea, a cup of tea was two cents, which was a little expensive.
In the past, hot tea was really freshly brewed with tea leaves, not drinks such as iced black tea later.
After the two sisters finished drinking tea, Tang Xiaofu gave the tea stall proprietress a dime and a half cent, and deposited the things with her.
Setting up a stall on Hanzheng Street, even if it is just a small tea stall owner, he is more shrewd than people in other places, and the tea stall proprietress stared at Tang Xiaofu coldly: "I won't help you see things without three cents." ”
You can buy several steamed buns for three cents, Tang Xiaolan was reluctant, gently pulled Tang Xiaofu's sleeve, and whispered: "We don't have a lot of things in our hands, so let's go shopping." ”
Tang Xiaofu glanced at the street that was blocked by people shopping, decisively paid three cents to the proprietress of the tea stall, put down the things in her hand, and took Tang Xiaolan to start shopping on Hanzheng Street.
Tang Xiaolan, who was struggling in the crowd, finally understood how wise Tang Xiaofu was to spend three cents to store things, not to mention shopping with things, it was not easy to be empty-handed now!
There are many kinds of shops in the streets and alleys, Tang Xiaofu feels that her eyes are not enough, she is like Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden, and her eyes are looking around with a new look.
Tang Xiaofu bought some needlework, thread and handkerchiefs, as well as some head flower ornaments and scarves, to take back to the countryside, and sell them in the town after the school dismissal ceremony tomorrow.
Needlework is a must-have for many women in rural areas, and handkerchiefs, scarves and trinkets are the favorite of rural girls.
There are not many of these things, just half a snakeskin bag, Tang Xiaofu carried it in front of her, let Xiaolan follow her closely, and repeatedly told her, don't follow it, otherwise she is not familiar with life and will get lost, Xiaolan has never seen this kind of bustling and prosperous since she was a child, and at the same time as novelty, she was also a little nervous, and she kept holding Tang Xiaofu's clothes tightly and did not let go.
Finally arrived on the street selling autumn clothes, Tang Xiaofu touched the samples hanging in the shop, the quality was not worse than that sold by the martial artists, but as she expected, the six sets of clothes were not approved at all.
Tang Xiaofu simply gritted her teeth and approved twenty sets, each set of eight yuan, and this batch of autumn clothes used one hundred and sixty sets, and the shopkeeper packed it in a big snakeskin bag and threw it to her.
Tang Xiaofu originally wanted to buy some underwear for her mother and daughter to wear, and the habit she developed in her previous life was that intimate clothes were more particular than outer clothes.
It's a pity that the eighties were still a relatively conservative era, and there was no underwear wholesale at all, so Tang Xiaofu had to do it.
When she got out of the store, Tang Xiaolan dared to ask Tang Xiaofu: "Sister, if you buy so many autumn clothes and go back, the three of us won't be able to wear them all." ”
"I didn't plan to give all of them to our mothers and sons, so I just left six sets according to the original plan, and I will sell the rest at the door of the martial arts merchant now."
So the two sisters took back their things from the proprietress of the tea stall and came to the door of the martial arts merchant with large bags.
Tang Xiaofu poured out all the autumn clothes in the snakeskin bag, squatted on the ground with Xiaolan, and chose six sets of colors they liked and put them up for them to wear for themselves.
When they were choosing, someone had already gathered around and asked them how to sell these autumn clothes.
Tang Xiaofu said: "Fifteen yuan a set." ”
Some people are too expensive, pouting and leaving, and some people bargaining: "Sell it for twelve yuan?" ”
Tang Xiaofu said: "You go to the martial arts merchant first, and see if you can buy an autumn coat of my quality for twenty yuan." ”
Someone touched her autumn clothes, the quality is good, many people know the selling price of autumn clothes in the martial arts, fifteen yuan is really not expensive, so twelve sets of autumn clothes are sold out in half an hour.
Xiaohong was stunned not far away, and said to Tang Xiaofu admiringly: "You are really good at business!" ”
Tang Xiaofu thought about eating her braised eggs a few times, so she gave her two handkerchiefs, a gauze towel and a small round mirror to repay the favor, and took Tang Xiaolan to Rag Street, still spent three cents to store things in front of a food stall, and plunged into Rag Street to buy change cloth.
The two sisters searched for a long time, and selected several pieces of khaki, hair, tweed, corduroy and other fabrics more than one meter long, packed two sacks, and spent twenty yuan.
Tang Xiaofu and Xiaolan dragged the two sacks of fabric to the street with all their might, and retrieved their things from the food stall, when it was close to two o'clock in the afternoon.
The two sisters didn't bother to buy lunch, so they hurried to the bus station to catch the last bus home.
When she got home, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was dark early in winter, and the weather was cold, so few people in the village were still walking around at this time, so her sister came back and almost no one noticed.
Tang Xiaofu didn't want anyone to notice them, and when the people of the big bags asked, she still had to make up lies, she didn't want anyone to know that she had made some money in the provincial capital, so as not to spread it to the ears of the Tang family.
Fang Wenjing also estimated that her two sisters should go home in the next two days, and came out from time to time to stand at the door and look in the direction of the highway.
But today I looked around all day and didn't see the two daughters, and I couldn't help but be a little worried, tomorrow is the dismissal ceremony, and it is impossible for the two daughters not to come back today.
She was sitting at home when she heard someone excitedly shouting, "Mommy, open the door!" ”
Fang Wenjing was overjoyed, almost jumped up from the stool, hurriedly opened the door, and saw Tang Xiaofu and the two sisters standing outside the door with a large bag and a small bag, she was happy and distressed, the three of them brought things into the house, Fang Wenjing bolted the door, first poured hot water for the two daughters to wash their hands and faces, and then poured a cup of boiling water for each of the two daughters.
The Tang Xiaofu sisters all sat on the stools to rest, holding the water and drinking it slowly.
