Chapter Eighty-Six: Buying Clothes
In the small western-style building, Bao Guowei ran upstairs and downstairs, as if exploring a labyrinth, familiar with his new home.
And Lao Bao stood in the living room, standing in front of the switch of the light, playing back and forth with some caution and curiosity.
"Smack!"
Watching the gorgeous palace lights shine and go out, Lao Bao's mood is getting better and better.
Today's old bag is like a child who has been given a toy, and he obviously has a deep love for this electric lamp.
……
After some exploration, Bao Guowei found a bathroom on the first floor, with a white-tiled sink under a steel faucet.
Since the house has been connected to electricity, it is naturally connected to water, and it is directly connected to the network of Suzhou underground water pipes.
In the future, you finally don't have to go to the bathhouse to squeeze with others, buy a big wooden bathtub, and burn the hot water in the basin to lie in it and take a hot bath!
Bao Guowei entered the fantasy time, imagining the scene of soaking in a hot bath in a wooden basin alone, and a somewhat comfortable smile appeared on his face.
On the first floor of the building, in addition to a large living room, there are two bedrooms, each equipped with a wooden bed.
There is also a kitchen, storage room. In addition to a heated stove and a mahogany dining table, there is also a soft gray sofa.
There are also two bedrooms on the second floor, in addition to the balcony and small living room, there is also a large study, which has a window inside, and the sunlight shines in very brightly, not only equipped with a set of brown desks, but also a large cabinet dedicated to books is painted with white paint, which looks very bookish.
……
The stove on the first floor can be used to warm up and roast your body in winter, and the old cold legs of the old bag can probably be more comfortable in this winter.
The wide and bright balcony on the second floor can be used to bask in the sun when you have nothing to do, or you can look at the traffic in the distance by the railing, and of course, it can also be used to dry clothes.
In short, this new home is a few grades higher than the cramped old mansion.
Bao Guowei is very satisfied with this house, the only flaw is that there are only two people in the family, which seems a bit wasteful.
With such a large western-style building, even if there are five or six people, it will not be crowded at all.
To put it simply, today's Bao family doesn't look like a home at all, but more like two people living together for their lives.
In order to prevent this new home from looking too empty, Bao Guowei prepared to bring some furniture from the old house in the south of the city.
For example, the small bookcase in the old house in the south of the city that has accompanied Bao Guowei for more than ten years, he already has some feelings for this object, so he naturally can't leave it behind.
The dressing table in the bathroom should be equipped with a few bottles of Si Dangkang, and the soft brand and hard brand Bao Guowei should be used.
In the courtyard, it is too empty, and you need to find something to decorate, maybe you can raise a dog and plant some flowers and plants.
……
Bao Guowei was thinking about it, came to the living room, and was about to talk to Lao Bao, when he noticed the wrinkled placket of Lao Bao's collar and the placket of the old cotton clothes, he suddenly woke up, and he slapped himself lightly.
Thinking about it so much, why didn't I think about buying a new cotton clothes for the old bag! New pants! New shoes! Buy a new quilt for another bed!
Once the old Bao current person has supported Bao Guowei for so many years, it is also Bao Guowei's turn to feed the old Bao.
Bao Guowei touched the thick pile of money in his pocket: I withdrew more than 200 yuan at Suzhou Jingpu Commercial Bank today, so I can naturally buy a lot of money, and I don't have to worry about not having enough money.
"Daddy!"
There are many clothing stores in the west of the city, especially in the central street in the north of the city, and it is not like living in the south of the city, you need to run all the way from the south of the city to the market or shopping street in the city to buy them.
……
Chengxi, Gaoyang Road, Dow Winter Clothing Store.
"Here we are."
The young rickshaw driver parked in front of the shop, panting for breath in a white half-cut shirt that was easy to move around.
Today's weather is really a little cold, even relying on fierce running, it can't raise the temperature of the body, the cool breeze penetrates into the internal organs, and the driver only feels the pain of his lungs like a knife.
The father and son got out of the car, and Bao Guowei fumbled in his pocket - fiddling in a wad of tactile banknotes.
Finally, he touched a coin, took it out, and saw that it was a dime, and Bao Guowei handed it directly to the driver.
"Thank you, boss!"
The rickshaw driver showed a little surprise in his eyes, a quarter of an hour's journey, he had negotiated seven cents before, and he actually gave a dime! The extra three cents can buy more than a pound of bran rice.
It was enough to put a happy smile on his face.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The rickshaw driver coughed a few times, and the pain in his lungs became more and more intense, and he vomited a mouthful of bloodshot thick phlegm, or rather, vomited out.
He suddenly felt a little dizzy, and looked at the pedestrians around him, only to feel that his eyes were a little blurry.
He shook his head, lifted the bar, braced his tired body, and walked pretending to be energetic, ready to find the next client.
"It's not hard!"
……
Looking at this exquisitely decorated store, Lao Bao seems to have lost the restraint of last time this time - his new home is now decorated like this, what else to be afraid of!
Especially when he saw Bao Guowei, who looked like a young master next to him, Lao Bao's heart seemed to have full confidence, and he strode open the transparent glass door.
The shopkeeper quickly looked at the old bag with shrewd eyes, and it could be seen from his collar and shoes that he was not a very rich person, with his professionalism:
"What to buy?"
Lao Bao stepped on the flat floor, and some of the smoothed soles taught him to walk a little hard.
Among the piles of cotton clothes hanging from one shelf, Lao Bao took a fancy to a thick brown cotton jacket - this was undoubtedly a very thick cotton jacket, somewhat like a winter marching coat.
It weighed at least four or five pounds, and the materials were so abundant that the price was by no means affordable for the poor, which was enough to highlight the family background of the wearer in this era.
Touching the brand-new padded jacket with a calloused hand, Lao Bao looked at the shopkeeper who had already walked to his side, and tried to ask in a calm tone:
"Cotton clothes, how much?"
This little two is about the same size as Lao Bao, wearing a long shirt that is cleaner and neater than Lao Bao, and responds to Lao Bao with a professional smirk:
"Eleven pieces and two cents and five, you are here for the first time, you can wipe a small change, just accept you eleven yuan."
This high price really scared the old bag, which caught up with the salary of ordinary people for half a year! Subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refuse, only to hear Bao Guowei shout:
"Buy."
Not counting the grain, now the Bao family has a full 3,000 yuan, and this is only on the surface!
Why?
Relationships can also be exchanged for money in nature.
When the money is not enough, write a letter to Young Master Chu again, although it will kill some affection, but as long as it is a few hundred yuan, it will not be a problem.
There is also the Qin family, who wants to rely on himself to introduce nobles to them, as long as Bao Guowei is willing, he can earn a lot of commissions just by relying on this matter.
There is also Zhang Siwu, he is now in the mixed youth gang, and if he is really short of money, he can borrow from him, and it is estimated that he can borrow a lot.
In the future, Bao Guowei will also make friends in Xinxue, and strive to develop more interpersonal relationships while fully studying the joint alkali production method.
It would be even better if you could find a "daughter-in-law" who was the right person, and marriage was also an important step in strengthening your network.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the Bao family is rising! It is also a family that is in a period of rapid development, with a bright future and full of vitality.
However, not long ago, this was just a subordinate father, and a subordinate son depended on each other for a small family.
