Chapter 3 Walking the streets and alleys
"Fashionable foreign trade clothing, good quality, cheap price, don't miss it when you pass by."
"Foreign electrical appliances, foreign electrical appliances, dual card stereoscopic recorders."
"Electronic watches, the price is fair, all the big brothers and sisters come to take a look."
Dad Li was in a hurry to go to work today, but he was stopped by his youngest daughter, and he insisted that he had something very important to do, so he had to take leave from the factory.
Originally, Dad Li's anger was rising little by little, after all, he said that there was something urgent, but it pulled him to this wholesale farmer's market.
If you really want something, you can take her out when he is free, why rush for such a moment, isn't it a waste of money to deduct his salary for nothing. Why is this little daughter so abnormal lately, and she is becoming more and more ignorant.
It's just that Dad Li followed his young daughter to the depths of the market, the more frightened he became. Dad Li has read books and knows what this means.
Most of the things they buy in the alley are still in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the things are not very rich, not to mention these foreign things that basically have no chance to see.
In the same city, just a few streets apart, it has undergone earth-shaking changes.
What kind of difference is this, if it weren't for Li Xiaosi pulling him out for a walk today, he might not know what the sky has changed.
Li Xianyu knew when she saw Dad Li's expression that Dad Li had put this matter in her heart, but she had to add more heat.
"Uncle, where are you from?"
Li Xianyu picked a stall owner who sold electronic watches and asked, looking about the same age as Li's father.
"Little girl, Uncle hahaha, I'm from the south, and I know that there are few people selling these things in the north, so I didn't carry it.
People in this era are generally relatively simple and simple, but they are not hidden.
"How did Uncle come up with the idea of doing this? On this day, you are really well informed. ”
Li Xianyu secretly glanced at Li's father out of the corner of her eyes, and saw that he pretended not to care, but in fact he was listening carefully, so she continued to ask the stall owner.
"It's still early, and there is no one in the market, so I'll accompany you to nag this little girl."
The stall owner was also a warm-hearted person, and when he saw that the little girl was really interested, he told his own story like a few treasures.
Guo Da, a native of Guangshi in the south, at the end of last year, the efficiency of the factory was not good, foreign goods flowed in, the pressure of competition intensified, and there were many workers in the factory.
Seeing that it was not possible to continue like this, he heard that some people had researched and produced foreign goods, but they were always wandering around the city and could not open up sales, so he had an idea.
At the beginning, I had the idea of giving it a try, paid a deposit to the factory, and came to the north with a snakeskin bag on my back. Guo Da, who had never been to the north, was also timid at first, thinking that if this was not possible, he would really lose the whole family.
It's just a dozen hours of train and so many mouths at home that can't allow him to flinch.
"Unexpectedly, this back has really been carried for more than half a year, more than a dozen times back and forth, and now the family is ready to build a small building." Guo Da said with a smile, scratching his head while laughing, quite embarrassed.
When Dad Li heard this, this market vendor who was sitting in the corner of the market and shouting at the top of his throat was generally looked down upon by him before, but now he found out that his wealth is not exposed, but he himself is a swollen face and a fat man.
On the way back, Dad Li was always silent, and when he got home, he didn't even bother to drink a sip and went out.
He was going to discuss it with his eldest brother, and today these things were completely unexpected, and he needed to find someone to advise.
And even if you want to do it, you don't have the funds, and you may have to rely on your own eldest brother, so you have to discuss this matter with him.
The old Li family's father has four brothers and sisters in his generation, the eldest brother Li Dawei, the second brother Li Yaguo, the third brother Li Jili, and the fourth sister Li Jiamei.
Father Li's generation is the eldest brother Li Dawei is the most prominent, at the beginning of the year has climbed to the position of deputy factory director, and his wife is married to the daughter of the current factory director, training and training, maybe the next factory director.
Therefore, if there is any major matter in the old Li family, he will usually discuss it with his eldest brother Li Dawei.
However, Li Xianyu knows that this uncle Li Dawei is indeed a capable person, but he is not necessarily happy that Dad Li is better off than himself, not to mention that Li Dawei is extremely profitable, how can he easily lend money to Dad Li, I am afraid that this will be a waste.
Sure enough, it was just as Li Xianyu expected.
Not long after Dad Li's front foot left, her cousin Li Yuting came to the door.
"Li Xianyu, is your mother here?"
At this time, Li Xiaosi was dozing in the sun in the courtyard under Li's mother's murderous gaze.
Before Li's mother could speak, her cousin muttered.
"My mother asked me to bring a message, saying that you are short of money for studying, and the second uncle came to borrow money, and my mother couldn't bear to let you drop out of school, so I asked you to get thirty yuan." After that, he took money out of his pocket with a very disgusted and disdainful look.
It is worthy of being the granddaughter of the factory director and the daughter of the deputy factory director. Li Xianyu looked at the cousin in front of her who had put on small fur and black leather shoes in the late eighties, and then looked at her old clothes full of patches, and had to sigh, why are people so different, some people are eating, and some people are almost starving to death.
She also understood the meaning of Uncle Li's family. Dad Li should have gone to his uncle's house to borrow money, after all, his eldest brother is the deputy factory director, and his sister-in-law's family is well-off, so he should have some funds on hand.
It's just that Dad Li's abacus was wrong.
The brothers also settle accounts. This uncle of the Li family asked his children to give their family thirty yuan in front of the whole hospital, which undoubtedly gave Li's father a soft nail.
Jin can show outsiders their generosity, kindness, and friendship and brotherhood. The retreat can be explained to Li's father, it was the children in the family who did it, and the children are not sensible, but it is true that the family does not agree with it, so they can only lend these.
This is because he is unwilling to borrow money, and he is afraid that others will say disgusting things, so he will first block the mouths of outsiders.
This Uncle Li deserves to be the most outstanding one in the old Li family, and he does one thing quietly and makes people unable to find out the courtesy.
"Thank you, cousin, I will pass it on to my mother, and help us transfer it to my uncle and aunt, it really solves the urgent need of the family."
Li Xianyu grabbed a handful of her hands on the ground, stood up with a smile and was about to take the money, but accidentally stumbled straight at Li Yuting.
Two black handprints appeared on the brand new white fur in an instant.
This was brought back from outside by my uncle! It's just one piece, and it can't be hand-washed. Li Yuting collapsed in an instant, pushed Li Xianyu away and ran home crying, completely forgetting about handing over the money to Li Xiaosi.
Li Xiaosi was pushed by his cousin like this, and he really fell and squatted, so much money is really not necessary to owe such a big favor. Money is easy to clear, but love is difficult to return!
I think she has been a leader for so many years in her last life, and she can't deal with such a little girl.
