Li Jianyang is 28 years old this year, and he can now be called an "older youth" who has not started a family at this age.

Like his parents' generation, a 28-year-old man can even make soy sauce for children. Since last year, Li Jianyang's parents have been nagging in his ear every day, and from time to time they are looking for someone to introduce him to him, just to let him get married and hold his grandson as soon as possible.

Through the introduction of the enthusiastic Aunt Wang in the neighborhood, Li Jianyang met a girl who was four years younger than him and was 24 this year.

This girl's work unit is good, and she is also beautiful, Li Jianyang liked it at first sight, and the two began to talk about marriage after talking for a few months, not only have both parents already met, and the wedding date has also been set, just on this year's National Day.

Now that there is less than a month before the National Day, Li Jianyang has been busy with his marriage these days. Li Jianyang's family conditions are not bad, one of his parents is a middle school teacher, the other is a government cadre, the family has long been divided into houses, and there is no problem in getting married and a new house.

Last year, Li Jianyang's second grandfather on the other side of the strait had news last year, and he finally got in touch with Li Jianyang's family through channels, so it can be regarded as having overseas relations.

The second grandfather has never been married in his life and has no children or daughters, so Li Jianyang's family can be said to be the only relative of his old man's family. It is for this reason that the second grandfather came back to visit relatives last time, brought a lot of gifts to Li Jianyang and them, and deliberately left a sum of money when he left.

Li Jianyang's parents have not used this money, and they are going to save it for Li Jianyang to be useful when he gets married. No, now that Li Jianyang is getting married, his parents went to the bank to take out the money, handed it to Li Jianyang in person, and told him that when he gets married, he will be a real adult, and he will have to live by himself in the future.

Li Jianyang himself has a good job, he is a technician in a state-owned enterprise, and the person he is about to marry is a nurse, and the two of them have a lot of income every month.

Marriage is a big event, to be placed in the past, thirty-six legs plus three turns and one ring is necessary, but now as the days are getting better and better, people's living needs are much higher than before.

The fashionable modular cabinet furniture has replaced the old-fashioned thirty-six legs, the three turns and one ring have changed, the bicycle has been replaced by a motorcycle, and watches, sewing machines, and semiconductor radios have become gold jewelry, refrigerators, large color televisions, and video recorders.

The new home for marriage has been renovated, and the furniture of the combination cabinet has also been found to be ready, as for the gold jewelry, Li Jianyang took the object to the Chenghuang Temple, and earrings, necklaces, and rings are all available. The big color TV was bought with a Hitachi brand, and it cost Li Jianyang several thousand, if it weren't for the money given by the second grandfather, Li Jianyang's savings would be really enough.

Today is Sunday, Li Jianyang and the subject made an appointment to buy a video recorder together, and Li Jianyang rode a bicycle to the subject's house early in the morning. When they arrived at the place and picked up the object, the two chatted and rode to the Shibaiyi store, and when they arrived at the Shibaiyi store, it happened to be just open.

"Why are there so many people today?" After parking the car nearby and taking the parking ticket, Li Jianyang and the object walked towards the Baiyi store in the city, and before they reached the door, they saw that many people were surging from the entrance in all directions.

"It must be Sunday, right? But this person is a lot." Wei Minyi looked at it worriedly and said, and then said, "Whatever, they shop theirs, we look at ours, let's go, let's go!" I was optimistic about a Toshiba VCR last month, and by the way, I heard that JVC's is also good, but I don't know if there is one in the store."

Li Jianyang answered, took the subject's hand and walked towards the store, and when he entered the store, there were more people inside. Especially near the middle escalator, it is even more crowded.

Speaking of this escalator, the escalator of the city Baiyi store has a considerable history, as early as the old Huhai, that is, in 1936, it was still called Daxin Company, and the first escalator in the Far East was installed.

At that time, the escalator was installed and operated, which caused a huge sensation, and countless dignitaries came here just to have a glimpse.

However, this escalator was sealed many years ago, and it has not been used for a long time

It's a thing.

Until not long ago, the city Baiyi store replaced and repaired this escalator and operated it again.

When this automatic operation again, the first time it became a big news in Shanghai, many people spent a lot of time to run to the city Baiyi store, in order to take a look at the first escalator in modern Chinese history, and take it personally.

Wei Minyi and Li Jianyang's wedding has not yet taken place, but the two have been registered, which means that from the moment they are registered, they will be husband and wife.

But even so, Wei Minyi is still a girl who has just turned 24 years old, and in 30 years, let alone 24 years old, even a 44-year-old woman still calls herself a "middle-aged girl".

When she saw the escalator, even if there were a lot of people over there, Wei Minyi still pulled Li Jianyang to squeeze over there with great interest, according to her words, if you don't take the escalator at the Baiyi store in the city, can this be regarded as coming to the Baiyi store?

The tiger in September in Shanghai is powerful, even if there is an air conditioner in the Baiyi store in the city, but so many people are crowded, and the road is just ten meters away from sweating.

Finally squeezed in front of her, after stepping on the slowly ascending escalator, Wei Minyi was still excited, the escalator took them up, this girl stood and couldn't stop looking around, looking at the crowd below who were still trying to squeeze this side with a proud little look.

The floor of the city Baiyi store is very high, the first to the third floor are ordinary department store clothing, the basement floor is to sell bicycles, the fourth floor is home decoration products, and the top fifth floor is electrical appliances.

There is still a sixth floor on the fifth floor, but it is not open yet, and the corridor is sealed, but it looks like it should be cleared out soon and opened to the public, and it is not clear what will be sold in the future.

After taking the escalator up the floor, passing the women's clothing department on the second floor and the men's clothing department on the third floor, there were many fewer customers who continued to go up.

After the fourth floor, there are even fewer people going up to the fifth floor. After all, the fifth floor is the household appliances department, and now the household appliances are not cheap, and ordinary people generally come to the Baiyi store in the city to buy daily necessities and clothes.

Going up to the fifth floor, Wei Minyi was attracted by all kinds of electrical appliances arranged in the store at a glance, especially the place where TVs are sold.

Even though they had already bought the TV, Wei Minyi still couldn't help but stop and look at it, and after watching it for a while, she said in Li Jianyang's ear with some pride: "These TVs are not as good as our family, and the colors of our home are brighter than here."

Li Jianyang suddenly laughed, what this girl said, isn't it the same on TV? Although the TV set at home is really good,The original import is still a large screen,But the TV in the city Baiyi store is not bad,There are a few models that are clearly larger than theirs,As for the price, it is even more scary。

But when Wei Minyi said this, Li Jianyang was still very happy in his heart, nodded in agreement, and then looked for the counter to buy the video recorder with Wei Minyi.

"I see it, yes, it should be over there!" Wei Minyi looked around, stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction.

Then, he took Li Jianyang's hand and walked over there, and soon arrived at the place, Wei Minyi's eyes were instantly attracted by the video recorders placed on the counter, and when he was about to take a closer look, there were bursts of exclamations not far from the side, which made Wei Minyi subconsciously look to the left.

"This stuff is pretty good!"

"Yes, yes, it's convenient, it's okay to talk about the picture or something, and you can still sing at home."

"I thought it was blown in the advertisement, but I didn't think there really was such a function, comrade, try another film?"

There were a lot of people gathered over there, chattering around a counter and not knowing what they were talking about, and the curious Wei Minyi hurriedly pulled Li Jianyang's arm and asked him to look over there, and at the same time said, "Jianyang, let's go over there and have a look?"

"Aren't you watching a VCR?"

"What's the craze for the VCR? Things are here and can't fly away, there seems to be something new over there, go check it out first?"

"Hehe, let's go!" Li Jianyang nodded, and Wei Min

Yi walked to the left, and when he arrived, Li Jianyang escorted Wei Minyi into the crowd, and when he got inside, he found that these people were surrounded by a TV set, in which a movie was playing, and next to the TV was a machine with a metallic sheen that looked like a video recorder.

After looking at it for a while, just as Li Jianyang and the others were about to ask what they were selling, a young man on the side said, "Comrade, please try the karaoke function."

There are two salesmen at the counter, but the clothes they are wearing are a little different from ordinary salesmen, although the color is the same, but the fabric is better and more squeezed, and these two salesmen have a good attitude, smile and nod in agreement, and then pick up a remote control and press it, and the movie that has not finished playing has stopped.

I pressed the remote control again, and the machine, which was similar to a video tape, popped up in a cabin, and the salesman reached out and took out a small disc from the cabin, and then put the disc into a plastic box.

Then, the salesman took out a disc from another plastic box on the side, put it in the cabin, closed the cabin, and soon the TV set had a picture and the music sounded.

"You try." The salesman put a microphone *** machine jack, and then debugged it, and handed the microphone to the young man just now, the young man took it, picked up the microphone and fed it a few times in his mouth, and instantly his voice came out through the speaker of the TV and the external small speaker, and the young man's face was suddenly happy, and he began to sing along with the music.

[In view of the general environment,

Not to mention, this young man's singing voice is very good, a song is sung by him melodious and beautiful is very meaningful, after the song, the surrounding people applauded in unison, the young man smiled and handed the microphone back to the salesman, and at the same time asked: "How much is this VCD?"

"The original price is 2300, today is the first day of listing, and the first three days of listing will be discounted by 10% for promotional activities, 2070."

"It's not cheap!"

"yes, it's hundreds more expensive than a regular VCR."

"You can't say that, you get what you pay for, this VCD camera is much better than a video recorder, and the function is not comparable to a video recorder."

For a while, a few people around couldn't help but say, but the young man nodded without thinking about it, "2070, right? Yes! I want one, help me get a ticket!"
