Chapter 95: Making Money Is to Live a Good Life (Update)
She looked at the salesperson and opened her mouth to explain, but she felt that it was just as Bai Naihan said, some things would only become more confusing the more you explain them, so she just said, "He and I are not husband and wife."
No more words were said about the rest.
The salesperson knew that she had made a mistake about the relationship between them, and she was a little embarrassed, and she didn't say much afterwards.
Especially when she heard the child who looked like a child call the young girl "Mom" and the man in the wheelchair "Uncle", she was even more embarrassed.
Yun Qinghuan was fine, maybe she had developed a thick skin in this short day.
When the man saw the clothes she took, his eyes lit up, but then he shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to buy it for me, right? This dress doesn't look cheap."
No matter the style or the fabric, it is outstanding in this pile of clothes.
Yun Qinghuan disagreed, "If you like it, we will buy it. We don't buy it every day. We can still afford to buy a set occasionally. Besides, didn't I say it? I will buy it for everyone in the family today. What's the big deal if you are missing one? ”
It was as if she was ostracizing him.
After hearing Yun Qinghuan say this, the man nodded, "Thank you, sister-in-law. If you don't have enough money, I'll pay for it."
"You don't have to pay. I said I'll pay for it."
Yun Qinghuan waved her hand and asked the salesperson how much the clothes cost.
This time the salesperson was concise and clear, "Short-sleeved shirt is four yuan, pants are six yuan, and you need three cloth coupons."
No extra words were said.
Yun Qinghuan nodded. It was a bit expensive. A set of clothes cost ten yuan. The royalties she earned with great difficulty could not buy many clothes at all.
Moreover, this was a domestically made pure cotton clothes, which was relatively cheap. If she bought clothes imported from the port city next door, it would probably be more expensive.
She picked and chose, and finally picked a dark green short-sleeved shirt and a pair of apricot white straight pants for herself. The one she picked for An An was even simpler. He was like a monkey all day and easily got his clothes dirty. , so he didn't pick light-colored clothes. At that time, dark green clothes were very popular among children because they looked like heroes in the army.
So, Yun Qinghuan picked a whole set of dark green shorts and short sleeves for him, which looked like a little army uniform. The child was very happy and held the clothes tightly.
As for Liu Yuzhi, it was even simpler. Yun Qinghuan picked a pair of dark blue trousers and a gray short-sleeved shirt. The style was pretty good. It was the kind of clothes that people of Liu Yuzhi's age often wore in this era.
She felt that it was very suitable for Liu Yuzhi.
Liu Yuzhi must have been used to a frugal life for so many years, so her clothes were not good, and almost all of them had patches, but some had more patches and some had fewer.
She spent a total of 35 yuan and 8 cloth coupons on four sets of clothes, which was indeed not cheap. Her savings of over 100 yuan were reduced to only a few dozen in an instant.
But holding these brand new clothes, she was satisfied.
After buying clothes, Yun Qinghuan bought a few feet of cloth. Because she bought a lot of clothes, she didn't bargain like other people, and was very straightforward. The salesperson had a good impression of her. In addition, she had just misunderstood her relationship with Bai Naihan, so the salesperson felt a little guilty. After all, the reputation of women in this era is very important. If you meet someone who is unreasonable, you may curse at the salesperson.
So, when the salesperson saw that Yun Qinghuan wanted to buy cloth, he said directly, "Comrade, I still have some defective cloth here. No cloth coupons are needed, and the price is cheaper than normal cloth. Although it is defective cloth, it is no different from good cloth. Do you want to take a look? "
If it were someone else, the salesperson would not have said anything. They could digest the defective cloth internally.
Yun Qinghuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Let me see."
The salesperson looked around carefully, and when he saw that there were no people, he took out a few rolls of cloth from under the table.
The cloth was really good, and there were light green and light blue cloths that Yun Qinghuan liked.
It was difficult for her to buy these finished clothes that fit her and she liked them. Thinking that the villagers bought cloth and made them themselves, she planned to buy some cloth and go back to find someone to make clothes.
At this moment, she was really happy to see these cloths. She was worried that the remaining cloth coupons might not be able to buy much cloth. Now she can buy more, after all, opportunities are hard to come by.
Knowing that this was sold by the salesperson specifically for her, she took two candies for her before leaving.
The salesperson was also very happy to see Yun Qinghuan return the candies to her, and waved to Yun Qinghuan, "Comrade, come and buy next time. ”
After buying clothes and fabrics, Yun Qinghuan went straight to the place where watches were sold. She still hadn’t learned how to tell time the way people of this era do. She couldn’t figure out how to tell the time by just looking at the sun. The days without knowing the time were a bit confusing, and Yun Qinghuan couldn’t stand it.
After receiving her manuscript fee this time, she wanted to buy a watch.
Only when she got there did she realize that she was careless.
Watches of this era were much more expensive than clothes. The cheapest watches were seventy or eighty!
And the styles were very ugly, she really didn’t like them.
Thinking of the money she had, she could only reluctantly buy a clock. The clock was still very cheap. She asked for an industrial ticket and had to pay another ten yuan, not including the battery. Yun Qinghuan bought two more batteries to save the trouble of buying more when they ran out of power. In total, she spent eleven yuan.
In addition, she bought soap. In this era, there was Shanghai sulfur soap. She bought several pieces. Otherwise, she always felt that she couldn’t wash clean when she only used water every time she took a bath.
Seeing the vanishing cream, she thought of the little she had left, and she paused, and bought two boxes with a heartache. Each box cost five yuan, which was really not cheap.
But Yun Qinghuan was a girl after all. Even though life was a bit hard in this era, she still loved beauty. Besides, although it was a bit expensive, she could afford it.
Buy two boxes, one for herself and one for Liu Yuzhi.
Every woman loves beauty, not to mention that vanishing cream not only makes the skin better, but also makes the face prone to chapped in winter, and applying vanishing cream will make it much better.
Finally, Yun Qinghuan also bought peach cakes and malted milk, and weighed a pound of milk candy.
After buying all the things, she actually spent 80 yuan.
Suddenly, she felt that money was really hard to spend, and she felt a little distressed, but she thought that the purpose of making money was to make herself live a good life. If she was reluctant to spend money and still lived a miserable life, then the meaning of making money would be gone.
Thinking of this, she felt better.
There was a bookstore across the street. She thought of what she promised her child to give her as a reward. An An said she wanted comic books, and she had almost run out of paper for writing manuscripts, so she needed to buy some. So she went to the bookstore next door with her child.
Bai Naihan arrived at the door of the bookstore but did not go in. Yun Qinghuan looked at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I remembered that I still have something to buy. You go to the bookstore first, and I'll come to you later."
Yun Qinghuan blinked, not knowing what he wanted to buy, but did not ask much, just said, "Then don't keep us waiting too long, we haven't had lunch yet."
"Okay."
