Chapter 21: Buying Shoes
After a while, Xu Rujiao came back, holding an inconspicuous cloth bag in her hand.
"What did you do?" Xu Guangshi hurriedly asked.
Xu Rujiao pulled him aside, showed him the things in his pocket, leaned into his ear and muttered a few words.
"Huh? Will this work? ”
"It doesn't hurt if you try it." Xu Rujiao said as she pushed her father forward.
Xu Guangshi was a little embarrassed, but he still took the cloth bag and went hard, muttered to the middle-aged man in the grain store for a long time, and then came back with a happy face: "I have become a girl, and people promise to sell us more." ”
Xu Rujiao smiled brightly.
There were two boxes of cigarettes in the cloth pocket, and she saw the cigarette butts in the corner of the grain store, and all she did was to do what she liked, to give the grain store salesman some benefits.
Pushing a full thirty-five catties of grain, Xu Guangshi was still dizzy: "How do you know that it will be useful to send him cigarettes?" ”
"I saw that when he opened his mouth to speak, he had a big yellow tooth, he must be smoking, and there was only a small cigarette butt left in the corner, which means that he is not usually very smoking, so I will try it."
Xu Guangshi was dumbfounded, he really couldn't figure it out, when did his little girl become so proficient in human accidents?
Doing business, giving gifts, purchasing...... One by one, one by one, it is more mellow than adults.
Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Rujiao remembered that she saw the cotton shoes behind the counter when she was buying cigarettes, and stopped: "Dad, let's go buy you a pair of cotton shoes." ”
Xu Guangshi is still wearing the old cotton shoes of the year before last, the upper is broken and repaired, and the sole is only a thin layer of wear.
"What kind of cotton shoes to buy, seeing that spring is coming, this pair can still be worn, and I will talk about it next winter", he didn't want to spend money.
"You don't understand, it's cheaper to buy cotton shoes than in winter."
"Really?"
Xu Guanshi was half suspicious and was pulled into the supply and marketing cooperatives by his daughter.
The young salesman's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Rujiao, and he was about to speak, when he noticed that Xu Guangshi, who came in closely, closed again.
"Show me the red cotton shoes", Xu Rujiao pointed to the cotton shoes behind the counter, "I want the largest size." ”
Xu Guangshi has big feet, and every time Li Xiuqin makes shoes for him, he has to complain about Fei Bu Feidi.
"Red? Do you want to be black......" Xu Guangshi said weakly.
"It's red and beautiful, Dad, listen to me." Xu Rujiao said, took the shoes in the salesperson's hand, and measured them according to her father's feet, the size was about the same.
"Can you give it a try?" She asked.
The young salesman hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Try it on the newspaper, don't get dirty." ”
If it were someone else, she would definitely refuse, but this little girl in front of her ......
Xu Guangshi was a little embarrassed, and under the gaze of his daughter, he took off his shoes and tried to step on them.
"What's going on? Does it fit? ”
The new shoes are thick and soft, and they are very comfortable to wear, Xu Guangshi nodded: "It's good, how much is it?" ”
"Six."
As soon as Xu Guangshi heard the price, he immediately took off his cotton shoes and was about to leave.
Xu Rujiao hurriedly pulled the person and asked the salesperson: "It's spring soon, isn't it cheaper?" ”
The salesman looked embarrassed: "It's all set by the government, and it can't be cheap." "And she doesn't count.
Xu Rujiao: ......
She forgot that the anti-seasonal discount is a product of the era of commodity economy, and the supply and marketing cooperatives don't talk about this.
The salesman thought for a while, turned out a paper bag from behind him, and opened several pairs of insoles of all sizes inside: "I'll give you a pair of insoles, I took them myself, the cotton shoes have been worn loose for a long time, and the double insoles are just right." ”
Xu Rujiao saw that the insoles were good, and picked the biggest pair: "Then thank you." Then he paid before his dad could speak.
Xu Guangshi looked distressed, how much rations could he buy.
The salesman collected the money and wrapped the cotton shoes and insoles in oiled paper, Xu Rujiao waited quietly, and suddenly heard the other party speak: "You were the one who sold couplets in the township a year ago." ”
