100 to buy clothes
Lin Yan is still young, and his long clothes and trousers need to start from 2 corners because of the different linen cloth used.
The bonus is an adult, and a set of clothes starts at four corners.
Considering that the bonus is really not good at making clothes, they still chose finished clothes, and each bought a set of cheap short-sleeved shorts and a set of slightly more expensive long clothes and trousers, which cost 1 yuan and 5 dimes.
Seeing that there were shoes placed over there, Lin Yan was surprised: "These are not straw sandals. ”
"No, straw sandals are over there." Hongxiu pointed in a direction, "This is a newly made linen shoe, the sole and upper are made of linen, which is more comfortable to wear than straw sandals, and more wear-resistant, and a pair can be worn for a long time." ”
Lin Yan chose a pair and tried it on his feet, "It's really comfortable, how can you sell it?" ”
"It's cheaper for you, a pair of 1 dime and 8 cents. For others I sell for at least 2 dimes. ”
"Okay, I'll buy a pair." Lin Yan immediately said, he couldn't refuse at all. Compared with drafting shoes, the comfort has improved a lot, of course, it is better.
Hua Bonus was also willing to spend money on her daughter, but she was reluctant to do so, so she chose a pair of straw sandals.
Lin Yan also persuaded her, but the bonus didn't listen, and she couldn't do it, and when she earned more money in the future, the bonus might be willing to spend it for herself.
made a big order, Hongxiu smiled more amiably, and insisted that Lin Yan and Hua Hong sit at home for a while and take out fresh fruits to entertain them.
During the conversation, he praised Lin Yan even more, and kept praising him, regretting that he didn't have such a smart and capable daughter.
As soon as he walked out of the door of Hong's house, Hua Hong said with a painful face: "I really spent a lot of money today, the clothes are too expensive, and most of the money I saved was spent at once, so I have to make money in the future." ”
"Auntie, my salary and bonus add up a lot every month, I'll give it to you when I go back."
More than half a year has passed, Lin Yan's salary and bonus have not been spent, and all of them have been saved, about 3 yuan.
Hua Hong was taken aback when she heard this, "So much, from July last year to now, you have earned a lot more than A-Niang." ”
"Auntie, you also know my salary, the basic salary is 3 jiao a month, and there is a bonus for going out, which adds up to so much. Ah Niang has to be busy working, and she has little time to earn money, and usually the expenses of the family are managed by Ah Niang, so she didn't save much money. In the future, half of my salary will be handed over to Ah Niang, and I will use the rest myself. ”
Hua Hong thought for a while, shook her head and said: "A-Niang is an adult who wants to support the family, you are still a little doll, and you can save the money you earn and use it in the future." ”
"Okay, then A-Niang is short of money and tell me, I'll give it to you."
Looking at the brand-new linen shoes on his feet, similar to the mille-feuille shoes mentioned in the book, Lin Yan sighed: "The new shoes are good, and they are not awkward to wear at all." Auntie, you can also buy yourself a pair to try. ”
After making straw sandals, people became more and more accustomed to wearing straw sandals, Lin Yan had been used to wearing straw sandals for a few years, and suddenly changed into new shoes only to realize that her requirements for life had become too low.
The people I met on the road, when they saw Hua Hong and Lin Yan, they all stopped to chat a few words, and pulled Lin Yan to ask questions.
Walking to the corner of the street, there was a person, and they were startled.
Hua Hong looked like an acquaintance, "Orchid, what are you doing standing here, don't make a sound, it's scary." ”
Lin Yan had also seen orchids once, when she was only fifteen years old, a cowering girl, and now she has grown up and reached the age of eighteen. Judging from the two of them in memory, they look a lot older than their actual age.
In recent years, people's lives have been better and their appearance has become better, and orchids don't seem to be like this. There were a few more scars on her face, like old wounds left by a sharp weapon.
Orchid looked like a frightened rabbit, tears rolling in her eyes, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
Lin Yan looked at her and frowned slightly, "What are you doing here, waiting for us?" ”
Orchid nodded timidly, "I, I'm looking for you." As she spoke, she looked around and was secretly relieved to make sure no one was there.
Lin Yan looked at her and thought to herself, what was she looking for herself, she was afraid of being discovered.
She looked at the orchid expectantly, "Say it." ”
Hua Hong felt that there was nothing wrong with her, and seeing Orchid's nervous and worried appearance, she stepped aside and waited.
Orchid whispered: "I want to have a single household, but my family doesn't agree, will I really not be bullied by outsiders after setting up a household?" ”
"Are you often bullied at home? How did these injuries come about? Lin Yan didn't answer the rhetorical question. As far as she knows, after Orchid A-Niang died, there were still elders in the family, and it was her aunt who was in charge, so she shouldn't let Orchid be bullied.
After hesitating for a moment, Orchid said: "My family didn't like me and didn't give me anything to eat, so I went out to find it myself, and I was injured." They snatched the food they were looking for. ”
It was difficult for the Qing official to decide the family affairs, and Lin Yan didn't know how to persuade for a while, "The Basic Law of Sun City has been implemented, if you want to start a household by yourself, go directly to Xia Li, she will help you." If someone bullies you, you can also find your team leader Hua Xiang, and she will help you. ”
Orchid bit her lip, "I, I know." I'm a person after I set up a household, will I be punished if they come to rob my things again? ”
Lin Yan nodded, "Of course, even if you don't set up a household and steal your things against your will, you will be punished." Don't be afraid, go find Huaxiang, if she doesn't help you, you can also go to Ah Lan. You are an individual, as stipulated in the Basic Law, enjoying equal rights and should be treated fairly. The Basic Law is by no means just rhetoric. ”
Although many people haven't taken it seriously, they don't know Ah Lan's determination to implement it, and once someone offends, he will not be spared.
Orchid seemed to be encouraged, nodded and ran away.
Looking at her back, Lin Yan's frowning brows never let go. She also knows that there will naturally be conflicts where there are people, but Orchid is obviously often bullied, and the family is used to it.
Hua Hong touched Lin Yan's head, "Come back to your senses, let's go home." ”
"A-Niang, do you know about the orchid family?"
Hua Hong nodded, "I know, everything about her family has spread all over the city." ”
"What's the matter? I don't know anything. ”
"The people in the orchid family are not things, they all bully the orchid and have no one to rely on, forcing the baby to be unable to live. The work at home is done by the orchids, and they are not given food, and the family is very bad. ”
"Don't you know?"
"I must know, but this is someone's family matter, Hua Xiang came forward to say it a few times, and Orchid didn't take the initiative to ask for help, and Hua Xiang didn't care much."
Lin Yan thought for a while, "If that's the case, the floral fragrance is indeed not easy to make." Are there many girls like Orchid in the city? ”
"Not much, which girl will be bullied like Orchid. If you want me to say, it is also because the orchid herself is not strong enough to resist that she will be bullied. ”
"What A-Niang said makes sense. If you don't fight for it, others really can't do it. ”
Hua Hong turned to say: "Orchid just came to you, is this the end of patience?" ”
Lin Yan nodded. Isn't it, people are forced to stand up.
