Chapter 166: Accident
Zhao Nan really helped them get two sleeper tickets, for which Meng Youyou was still very grateful, after all, it was better to take a train almost overnight to go to Y City, and it was better to lie down.
The train departs at night, and Meng Youyou finished class on Saturday morning, so she went to Meng Zhenzhen to explain her whereabouts, so that she didn't have to worry about finding herself when she turned back.
Then I went to the mall in the afternoon, got a general understanding of the clothing trends in City B, and went to find several fashion magazines, and then met with Jiang Chuan and went to the train station after dinner.
Finally got on the train, Meng Youyou only felt that she was running around all day, but when she thought of going to choose a model with Wu Qingbai tomorrow, and then having to take the car back in the evening, her head was big.
But when I thought of making money, I immediately came to the spirit again, what kind of hard work is this, there are more people who work harder than her, be content.
Jiang Chuan saw that she was originally depressed, but she returned to her previous state in a few seconds, and couldn't help but be a little curious, "What did you hint at yourself?" ”
There are not so many people who take the train at this time, and even fewer are willing to spend money on sleepers, so so far, there are only two of them in this small private room, and the other beds are empty.
Don't be too shy about talking, just pay attention to the people passing by outside.
Meng Youyou looked out the window, then looked at him again, and joked, "What do you say I can hint at because of the economics you learned by yourself?" ”
Of course, Jiang Chuan could guess that this was the reason, but he was a little curious, "The money you earn now should be enough, why do you take the risk of doing those things?" ”
Meng Youyou sighed helplessly, although the money she earns now seems to be a lot at first glance, she can't buy anything in the future life, and it's even just someone else's money for a piece of clothing and a bag.
It's actually quite ironic to think about it this way, she thought of a news she had read before, saying that there was an old grandfather who deposited 500 yuan in the bank when he was young, and when he was old, he went to withdraw the money, and it was more than 100 yuan in interest.
500 yuan was placed in his youth, and he could build a house in the countryside, but when he was old, the land to buy a bathroom was not enough.
So how much money has to be earned, Meng Youyou doesn't know, but now this money is definitely not good.
"Do you know how long your grandfather's generation had to save a hundred dollars?" Meng Youyou asked.
"They were different in those days, and they were different from our current currency," Jiang Chuan replied with a frown.
Meng Youyou thought about it, the times are different, "Let's put it this way, the cheapest fountain pen sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives last year was three yuan a piece, and this year it has become five yuan, do you think it will change next year?" ”
She paid close attention to the prices of fountain pens and some school supplies, so she remembered very clearly that when she first asked Li Hui to change her fountain pens, the price sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.
"It's not good to say, it has something to do with all aspects, it may become more expensive, or it may be cheaper," Jiang Chuan said honestly.
Pricing is not static, it is affected by various factors, he knows that Meng Youyou must understand, but he doesn't understand why she asks like this.
"When people's pockets are bulging, they won't feel so distressed when they buy things," Meng Youyou looked out the door and continued, "When there are more and more people like this, and their pockets are getting more and more bulging, what will happen?" ”
Jiang Chuan thought about it for a while and quickly understood, the deeper he thought about it, the more frightened he became, under the planned economy implemented now, the unified allocation of materials, everyone was poor, no matter how rich people were, they couldn't get rich, like him and Meng Youyou, after all, they were in the minority.
But seeing that the policy is getting looser and looser, if the policy changes one day, just like resuming the college entrance examination, then there will be more people like him and Meng Youyou?
What will become of Jiang Chuan, he doesn't know, he can only guess that it must be diametrically opposed to the current social status quo, then there will be a situation like Meng Youyou said, the same thing, they have to spend more money to buy.
"When we go back this time, I'll ask someone to help find a house," Jiang Chuan decided.
Not only does he have to buy a house as soon as possible, but he also has to speed up the speed of earning money, and strive to save more money, so that he can have a guarantee when he gets old in the future.
Meng Youyou was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Don't be in a hurry for a while, anyway, you can't be in a hurry, you still have to look good to buy a house." ”
She didn't expect Jiang Chuan not only to understand a little, but also to be able to associate it with the house so quickly, indeed, if people can have the foresight now, grit their teeth and buy a few more suites, they can do nothing when they are old in the future.
However, not everyone has a long-term vision, and who can know what will happen in the future?
The two sat and chatted for a while, and Meng Youyou couldn't help but yawn one after another, which made Jiang Chuan feel funny.
"Don't stay up, go to sleep," Jiang Chuan got up and cleaned up the top bunk a little, "You come here to sleep." ”
Even if there is no one in the private room now, it is a little safer to sleep on the top bunk just in case.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the so-called safety was really just a little, but fortunately, it was this little bit that allowed Meng Youyou to avoid a danger.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Chuan felt a little thirsty and wanted to get up and drink saliva, but he was afraid of waking Meng Youyou up, so he could only endure it, but what he didn't expect was that the more he endured, the more sober he became.
Listening to Meng You's shallow breathing, after a long time, Jiang Chuan was just about to fall asleep in a daze, but he vaguely heard footsteps coming outside the door, but there was no sound of walking over.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the door of the private room being gently opened, and someone walked in, it was a man, Jiang Chuan only thought it was a passenger from another bed, and he didn't care much.
He thought about waiting for someone to lie down on the bed, and then he would stay up for another two hours and it would be dawn, anyway, he had already slept well, but soon, Jiang Chuan realized that something was wrong.
The man stood in front of his bed, and it was facing him, and he didn't move for several minutes, Jiang Chuan could feel that he was staring at him, trying to keep his breathing steady, pretending not to know anything.
"Bang!"
"Ouch......"
Meng Youyou immediately woke up from his sleep when he heard the voice, and as soon as he sat up, he was blinded by the light of the flashlight, and looked at a man sitting on the ground with his head covered, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's okay," Jiang Chuan glanced at her soothingly, and handed her the coat she put on the lower bunk, "Get dressed, don't catch a cold." ”
Meng Youyou's sleepy eyes and rubbed his eyes, is this okay?
It was the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping, and suddenly they heard such a loud noise, and immediately a flight attendant came to see what was going on, and some of the others followed.
