Shen Xiulan's pretty face was angry, and she glared at the male colleague: "Ma Jianwen, don't shout!" Please call me by my full name! ”

She introduced again: "This is my boyfriend Li Yunhai!" ”

That Ma Jianwen smiled and stretched out his hand towards Li Yunhai: "Hello, I'm Ma Jianwen, and Shen Xiulan and I both work in the computer room." ”

Li Yunhai nodded.

Ma Jianwen's handshake was very hard, as if he wanted to pinch Li Yunhai's catties with ulterior motives.

It's a pity he miscalculated.

The strength in Li Yunhai's hand was enough to make him cry and call his mother!

Fortunately, Li Yunhai's subordinates were merciful and did not use the wrong bone hand, otherwise he would have been so painful that he shed tears on the spot.

Ma Jianwen let go of his hand, shook it a few times in a row, and smiled wryly: "Let's talk!" I'm leaving. ”

He rode away.

Shen Xiulan pouted and said, "Yunhai, Ma Jianwen is such a person, he likes to joke with any woman in our office!" ”

Li Yunhai said indifferently: "You and I are both very good young people, and it is normal for other men and women to love us. The important thing is not how many people choose us, but who we choose. ”

Shen Xiulan was slightly surprised when she said this, and she said firmly: "Yunhai, we chose each other, right?" So I'm not going to give anyone a chance! I'm sure you'll do the same I did. Isn't it? ”

Li Yunhai nodded and said, "Hmm! We all have the right to make friends freely, and we definitely need friends in life. Of course, there is no need for you and me, when we see a person of the opposite sex, regardless of whether others have a good impression of you or not, we will narcissistically announce: I have a lover, don't get close to me! Isn't that the same as a neurosis? ”

Shen Xiulan laughed and said, "Hmm! Yunhai, what you say is so level! I love it! ”

She rode a bicycle and walked side by side with Li Yunhai, saying: "The work in the computer room is actually very hard! In the past few nights, I have worked overtime every day, either typing materials or copying documents. ”

"Oh! Isn't there a big move? ”

"There is a large number of ministerial regulations and normative documents that have been abolished, like what measures concerning the proper austerity of cotton power; Supply and marketing cooperatives and local products corporation on fertilizer supply agreements; Interim Regulations on Price Work; Hundreds of files! It's all documents from the 50s, and now they're all invalid. Our computer room should print them out one by one, make several copies, and distribute them to all subordinate units. Stamping can make my hands sore! ”

Department stores, non-staple food, petroleum, food, catering and other departments, as well as the sales departments and processing plants under these units, are all under the management of the Commercial Bureau.

When it comes to work, Shen Xiulan has endless words.

She told Li Yunhai that the Bureau of Commerce will issue a document, the "Notice on the Trial Implementation of the Contracting Responsibility System for State-Owned Small Retail Businesses and Catering Services," which decides to first try out the contracted operation of 16 retail retail outlets and four industries: catering, hairdressing, bathing, and laundry and dyeing.

Li Yunhai thought to himself that this is a good thing, which shows that the private economy is getting more and more attention.

Shen Xiulan thought of something and said with a smile: "Yunhai, let's go to the night market street!" ”

Li Yunhai asked, "Is there a night market street in Xizhou?" Isn't it just a triangular garden? ”

Shen Xiulan pursed her lips and smiled: "You are outdated!" The city's first night market street has opened! ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "Aren't you better informed than me because you work in the Commercial Bureau?" Then let's go to the night market street to find something to eat! ”

Shen Xiulan let out a string of silver bell-like laughter.

The two came to the night market street and were shocked by the surging crowd.

Xizhou people are famous for their love of nightlife, but I didn't expect this fine tradition to have since the 80s.

In 1984, on the street two or three miles long from Wuyi Square to the south gate of Xizhou, the first night market street began to open.

Composed of more than 100 state-owned and collective shops and nearly 300 self-employed stalls, this night market street covers all kinds of goods for eating, wearing, using and playing.

The area around Wuyi Square has been the city center of Xizhou since ancient times. The area where the night market street is located is the main business district of Xizhou City. There are many famous, excellent, old and special types of products, and there are all kinds of products to eat, wear, use and play. The famous Yulou East, Yinyuan, Yang Yuxing, Deyuan, Fire Palace, Gan Changshun and other signature restaurants all have a place on this night market street.

The night market street can be described as crowded, and you have to wait for a snack to eat, and there are still a lot of people waiting for a seat!

Most of the people who come here to consume are young people, who come in groups of three or five, riding bicycles, and there are three or four rows of hundreds of bicycles parked in front of each store.

Cold dishes, lo-mei, buns, canned dishes, stewed vegetables, fried noodles, fried noodles, hot pot, bread, steamed vegetables, porridge, and other common delicacies have almost all been served on the tables of the night market street.

As soon as Shen Xiulan entered the night market street, she was as free and happy as a dragon entering the sea, and she didn't look for food, so she went to visit various stalls first.

The night market street is full of all kinds of stalls, selling clothes, accessories, cosmetics, and small items. Most of the items were purchased from Huacheng, especially clothing, and the most trendy styles at that time were only available in Huacheng. Most of the goods sold in the night market are mid-range Hong Kong edition goods, with prices ranging from 50 yuan to 100 yuan.

There is a slight advantage of spending in the night market street, that is, there is no need for any tickets.

Anything that can be bought here, as long as you have the money, you can complete the transaction.

Of course, the price is not cheap, the salary of ordinary citizens is limited, and it is okay to visit the night market street every day, but the consumption power is average.

Most of the citizens' food and oil stamps are enough to save a little food until the end of the month, at most, it is a few days of famine in the last few days, so they can only spend money to go outside to buy food that does not need tickets.

In the mid-80s, in a big city like Xizhou, you could buy most of the food with money, but when you go to a designated grain store to buy staple food, in addition to bringing money, you also have to rely on food books and food stamps.

The material tension was the sixties and seventies, when there was money and no tickets, and there was no way to buy staple food. In particular, those who go on business trips to other places will not be able to buy staple food at state-run restaurants without national food stamps, so they can only stare dryly.

Shen Xiulan rarely visited such a lively street, she was very excited, her pretty little face was steamed red by the heat of the summer night, and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her white forehead.

Li Yunhai saw her so happy, and said with a smile: "Xiulan, you take a few days off, I'll take you to the flower city to go shopping, that is really the flower world, with a dazzling array of goods!" ”

Shen Xiulan looked back and smiled: "Really? All right! But not now, I just joined the company, I can't ask for leave, I have to leave a good impression on the unit leaders. ”

She is indeed a good fit to develop within the system.

Shen Xiulan came to a stall selling cosmetics.

She's grown so big that she hasn't used makeup yet.

Now that I'm at work and I've talked about my boyfriend, of course I want to put on some light makeup.

She picked up a lipstick and asked the stall owner curiously, "What is this for?" ”

The stall owner, a young woman, wiped her finger on her lips: "Sister, this is lipstick, as long as you put on a little bit, you can be as beautiful and colorful as a star on the calendar!" ”

She pointed to a lipstick on the stall: "Sister, you buy this pink one that looks good." ”

Shen Xiulan picked up the lipstick.

This is autumn moon smoke powder, the tube is printed with a Chang'e pattern, and the glass lid is covered.

Shen Xiulan didn't know how to use this lipstick, she held the glass lid in her hand, and the lipstick underneath was too heavy and fell directly to the ground.

"Yikes!" The stall owner hurriedly ran out from behind the stall, bent down to pick up the lipstick, twisted the knob, and said, "It's over, you broke it!" You are such a big person, why can't you even hold a lipstick? ”

Shen Xiulan said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so easy." ”

The stall owner complained non-stop: "What does it mean to be easy to drop?" You're going to take the base underneath, rotate it here, and the lipstick comes out of the tube. This glass is the lid! You're pinching the lid and it's definitely falling off! ”

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "If you fall, you fall, isn't it just a lipstick?" How much? I bought it. ”

As soon as the stall owner heard this, he immediately put on a smiling face: "Brother Man, this lipstick is imported from Huacheng, 10 yuan a piece." You pay for the hard work! ”

When Shen Xiulan heard that she wanted ten yuan, she hurriedly shook her hand and said, "It's too expensive!" We don't buy it! ”

The stall owner stuffed the lipstick into Shen Xiulan's hand: "Sister, it's okay if you don't buy it, you can help me sell it!" ”

Shen Xiulan knew that she was at a loss, bit her lip and said, "I only have three yuan in my pocket." ”

The stall owner sneered: "Sister, you broke my things, and you don't compensate, then I can call the patrol police to come over!" You only brought three yuan, and you also came to visit the night market street? A few bucks for anything to eat here! ”

Li Yunhai took out the money, took out a big unity, and handed it to the stall owner: "Okay!" You don't need to say more! What a big deal! Are you unforgiving? My friend didn't mean to, either. ”

The stall owner took the money, looked at the big bag of banknotes in Li Yunhai's pocket, and grinned: "Yo, Brother Man, I didn't see it, you are a rich man!" Would you like to buy some other cosmetics for your girlfriend? I still have a lot of good Hong Kong goods here. ”

Li Yunhai waved his hand and said to Shen Xiulan, "Let's go!" If you want to buy it, you can't buy it from her! ”

Shen Xiulan flattened her mouth, as if she might cry out at any time: "Yunhai, ten yuan, it's such a waste!" ”

Li Yunhai stretched out his hand and gently scraped her face, teasing her: "I'll buy another oil pot!" ”

"What do you do when you buy an oil jug? Are you going to cook and eat? ”

"Hey, hey! yes, but I don't have a shelf for hanging oil pots in my house, how about hanging it on your mouth? ”

"Huh? You hate it, you're kidding me again! ”

Shen Xiulan burst into tears and laughed, and slapped Li Yunhai's chest with a small pink fist.

Li Yunhai grabbed her hand and said softly, "Don't be angry, okay?" What can be solved with money, it is not a problem. ”

Shen Xiulan held up her lipstick, wanting to cry without tears: "If my mother knew that I spent ten yuan to buy a rotten lipstick, she would definitely beat me to death." I'm so stupid! ”

Li Yunhai took the lipstick, tried to twist it, and said: "This lipstick can actually be used, it should be that the knob is loose." I'll fix it for you when I'm back in the shop! ”

When Shen Xiulan heard that it could be repaired, she wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "You can even repair this?" ”

Li Yunhai nodded: "Yes!" Let's go find something to eat first! ”

"No more! Ten dollars have already been wasted. My heart hurts, and I'm going to starve for a day to punish myself. ”

"Silly, aren't you? I'm in for a treat! I have money! ”

"You've got money, you've got money! Why do you always say money? I ask you, when are you going back to work? ”

Li Yunhai pointed to a restaurant in front of him: "I was about to talk to you about this." Let's talk, let's eat and talk. ”
