1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Let's go to this store first." Wang Guizhi said, "This store is a new store, opened on National Day, and will give away 2 corn cobs."

"It's fake, 2 corn cobs for each person?" Su Jiangang said immediately.

Su Xingmin was also surprised when he heard this.

Both father and son stepped forward one after another, looking at the flyer in Wang Guizhi's hand.

The line in the middle is so attractive: the new store opens, and 2 corns are given away!

But then Su Jiangang said, "Mom, you read it wrong, there is a line of small words below, 'Every customer who enters the store will be given a corn cob'. I thought that each person would get 2 corn cobs. The leaflets I made are too good at bluffing people."

"The person who made this flyer is very smart." Su Xingmin said.

The title is so catchy.

2 corn cobs are easily misleading.

"If I really want to give 2 corn cobs by myself, I don't dare to take it." Wang Guizhi said. She will come back later, and your eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, and your second sister, second brother-in-law, pull Nini along, won’t there be 9 corn cobs?”

"Mom, you're a bit too much. So many people go to get corn cobs. Nini is so small, you want her to go? People open a store to do business, and sending corn cobs must be to attract customers to buy things. Nini also How can I have money to buy things when I am in preschool?" Su Jiangang was a little embarrassed.

"What's so embarrassing? The leaflet says that as long as you enter the store, each person will be given a corn cob, and there is no age limit. He didn't write it clearly. I have to give it away when I go." Wang Guizhi said.

She turned the flyer over.

There is also writing on the back.

In the most eye-catching position, there is an enlarged and bold line of words 'New store opens, 0 yuan to buy Phoenix brand bicycles! '.

The eyes of Su Xingmin and Su Jiangang were attracted to them again.

If you look carefully, there is also an explanation below: Wanjia Department Store has a new store opening, if you spend 5 yuan in the store, you will get a box of matches, if you spend 10 yuan, you will get a Hongshan brand soap, and if you spend 20 yuan, you will get a flashlight. If you spend 50 yuan, you will get a vacuum flask; if you spend 100 yuan, you will get...

Listed in detail what items will be sent when the price is full.

The last one is a 5000-inch Phoenix brand bicycle for free when you spend 26 yuan!

"The person who made this leaflet is really full of heart. They wrote on both sides, and both sides are very attractive. On the one hand, they said that they will get corn cobs when they enter the store, and on the other hand, they said that they can buy Phoenix bicycles for 0 yuan. They thought it was wrong. If you spend money, you will end up spending money." Su Jiangang said.

Wang Guizhi glanced at him, "You only think about good things in your heart. They don't make money in business, so they really give it to you? When you buy something, you get matches, soap, and a flashlight. Isn't that good? There are also bicycles, Phoenix brand Yes, it’s very expensive, so give it away.”

"But it's too difficult. It costs 5000 yuan to send a bicycle." Su Jiangang said, "Who would spend so much money on something?"

"That's not necessarily true. If you buy a few large electrical appliances, you can almost reach this price." Su Xingmin said, "I didn't read the leaflet and it said that this department store also has a lot of home appliances, tape recorders, refrigerators, and color TVs. There are also air conditioners and washing machines, which will also be sold at a discount, and now during the National Day, many home appliances that usually have to be purchased with a ticket, do not need a ticket at this time, and many people will take this opportunity to buy appliances."

"The person who made this leaflet is very cunning, very business-minded, and a powerful person."

Su Xingmin's evaluation was very high.

"The leaflets are posted everywhere, on the wall outside the beverage factory. The boss found a lot of people to post leaflets everywhere. I heard that there is a motorcade with people standing on it, shouting all over the city with loudspeakers." Gui Zhi said, "This department store is near the second uncle and Xiao Min's house. Let's go there first and let their family of three line up to get the corn together. After the corn is finished, we can go to their store after shopping."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside, "Mom, I'm back."

It's Su Jin, she's on vacation.

The door opened, but Su Jin was not the only one standing outside.

Zhang Yongqiang and Su Yumei were also there.

"I just came here and met Xiao Jin outside." Su Yumei also held a flyer in her hand, "Mom, let's go to this department store together tomorrow. This department store will open tomorrow. To do activities, just go to the store Everyone, everyone will give a corn cob, Dad, Mom, Jiangang, Xiaojin, you will go get corn cobs with me tomorrow."

"Eldest sister, you really deserve to be born by mother. The two of you wanted to go to a place. Mom just said that you and elder brother-in-law should line up to get corn cobs, and call second sister's family. Now you come here again to ask for corn cobs." Call us up, how do we divide the corn cobs we get?" Su Jiangang's tongue is poisonous.

"Then each gets his own." Su Yumei said, "The main thing is that we can go shopping together. Have you noticed that the more money you spend in this department store, the higher the price of the gifts will be? Mom, what do you have? If we need to buy something, we can count it together.”

"It costs 5 yuan to send a box of matches, a box of matches costs 6 cents, and a box of Hongshan brand soap costs 10 yuan. A bar of Hongshan brand soap costs 5 cents. It costs 8 yuan more expensive. But it’s more than 5 cents more expensive!”

She and Zhang Yongqiang came here mainly for this matter and wanted to go shopping together.

Su Jiangang looked at Su Yumei in admiration, "Sister, I still can't figure out one thing. You are so smart, why didn't you get rich? Look at Lu Hao, he made a lot of money just by selling the backlog of soda in the beverage factory Qian, now he opened a store again, and invited his parents over."

Su Jiangang didn't even let his elder sister off, and what he said hurt his heart.

Su Yumei wasn't easy to mess with either, she looked at him, "Take care of yourself, you don't have a wife, you don't even have a partner, you don't accomplish anything in your career, and you don't do well in your studies. With four in your family, you are the worst offender. One, I don’t have any money, and I don’t have any education, I’m married to your second sister, let’s take a look at Xiaojin, she’s in college now, let’s take a look at you at the end, a street slut, how dare you laugh at me?”

"Okay, why are you arguing? You've been arguing since you were a child, and you've grown so big, isn't it shameful?" Wang Guizhi said, "Alright then, let's go to this department store together tomorrow."

"Go earlier, get the corn first, and then go shopping together. By the way, who else wants to go? Call them all. The more flowers are spent, the more expensive the gifts are. Let's go shopping together."

This kind of situation didn't just happen in Wang Guizhi's place. Similar things happened in other families. They took the leaflets and planned to get corn, and they were very excited when they saw the 0 yuan in the back to buy a bicycle.

They all go to neighbors or relatives and friends, invite them together, and buy everything, but pay for it alone, and then share it when they come out. The higher the cost, the more expensive the things they get, and they can take advantage of it.

For 10 yuan per person, 500 people can get a bicycle.

It costs 20 yuan per person, and only 250 people can get a bicycle.

Everyone is reckoning!

Some parents are not well-educated and not very good at counting, and they even drag their school-going children to settle accounts together.

On the eve of the National Day, the entire Jiangcheng was in a state of turmoil. This night, it seemed that everyone went to bed much later.
