1987: Sleepless Tonight

Lu Hao looked at her, "What are you muttering? Louder, I can't hear you clearly."

"I'm trying to figure out how long it will take me to pay back the money based on my salary." Chen Linjiao said, "My salary is 35 yuan a month, and I have to keep a share of my expenses, and I have to pay a little more at home. It will take more than half a year to pay off the money for the electric fan.”

After she figured it out, she frowned, looked at the electric fan, and then at Lu Hao, "This electric fan is too expensive, I can't pay that much at once, so I pay you back a month, okay?"

A pair of almond eyes looked at Lu Hao pitifully and aggrieved.

It seemed that because the fan Lu Hao bought was too expensive and exceeded her budget, she was a little distressed, but she was also worried that Lu Hao would continue to hang around here, so she had to pay to buy this fan, so that Lu Hao could be given to Lu Hao as soon as possible. dismissed.

All kinds of expressions are tangled together, which makes people angry and funny.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Lu Hao didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

If you keep going, it's going to be dark.

He clapped his hands and prepared to go back. When he walked to the door, he turned his head, looked at her, and said very seriously, "I don't like to go through the back door, especially I don't like others to go through my back door, but I can make an exception for you. You I also know that my supermarket business is very good. All the goods in the morning are sold out, so I am not short of money. I am the boss. Come to me and I'll let you go through the back door."

Chen Linjiao stood next to the fan, with one hand resting on the fan, as if she wanted to pick it up to try the material, and why it was twice as expensive as a normal fan.

Hearing his words, he was stunned.

"Did you listen to what I just said?" Lu Hao really wanted to grab her ear and hold it in front of him.

Why is this little widow so dumb?

"Understood, you said that you are the boss and have money. If I can't stay in the garment factory in the future, I will go through your back door." Chen Linjiao nodded.

"Do you remember?" Lu Hao asked again.

"Remember." Chen Linjiao replied.

Only then did Lu Hao leave the door.

After walking a few steps, turning around, I happened to meet the little widow poking her head out and looking at him, with some indescribable emotions in her eyes.

"Remember." Lu Hao smiled at her and reminded her again.

Like a kitten who was found stealing fish, Chen Linjiao was startled, quickly retracted her head, and closed the door.

Lu Hao shook his head and stared at the little widow's door for a long time.

This woman is also a poor person, she can pull as much as she can.

For those decades later, they may know the three words 'laid-off tide', but many people don't know the sadness contained in these three words.

There are no fields in the city, and there are not many job opportunities. Most people have no diplomas and have lost their jobs. Moreover, many people have reached the age and have been laid off. It is difficult to find a job.

Many people live in poverty after losing their jobs. In the middle of the night, they will go to the garbage dump near the vegetable market to dig through the garbage, because there may be rotten leaves, rotten melons, fruits and vegetables thrown away there. Drop it, and the rest can be used for cooking.

Why go in the middle of the night?

Fear of being seen by acquaintances, embarrassing, and at the same time, there are few people picking up rotten vegetables in the middle of the night, and no one fights.

Laid-off female workers don't have to worry about it. They put on heavy make-up in restaurants and get food, drink and sleep, which is more affordable than being on the job.

Laid-off male workers don't have to worry, they pick up hammers and axes, roar at the crossroads, and strike when it's time to strike.

This was a folk jingle at that time.

It can be seen.

Looking up, looking at the faintly visible garment factory in the distance, Lu Hao felt that there was an extra layer of responsibility on his body.

He had to win the garment factory, not only because it was a piece of fat, but also because it could indirectly help many people.

He is a devout atheist during the day, and depends on the situation at other times, but at this moment he firmly believes that this is a good deed and a great deed for future generations!

The two families were in the same building, and the road was not far away. He went downstairs and turned a corner and he arrived home.

"I brought some fruit and bought a fan to send to the little widow." Before Su Min could ask, Lu Hao confessed directly.

"Should be." Su Min nodded, "She works really hard, she is more serious than a man, and she has no man, living alone is very hard, although you and I always quarrel, but our family of three, the house There is also a lively atmosphere, she is very cool by herself."

"There are mostly married women in the factory. They are afraid that their husbands will get along with her, so they guard against her. Men approach her for a purpose. She is always alone, which is pitiful."

Beautiful women are envied.

"Aren't you jealous?" Lu Hao was surprised.

The woman didn't even ask a word.

"What kind of vinegar do I eat? In the past five years, I have had several large pots of vinegar." Su Min gave him a white look, "It's not like you didn't go to Chen Linjiao's house. The door is closed, and you hammered the door out." Everyone in the building knows about the big pit."

Lu Hao was speechless.

He really doesn't remember this matter, maybe it was a stupid thing he committed while drinking.

He smacked his lips in embarrassment, and looked at Nini, who was listening to their conversation with her ears up.

Young, but the heart of gossip is not small.

"Husband, will the business in the supermarket be okay tomorrow?" Su Min asked after lying down and turning off the lights at night.

On the other hand, Nini has already gone to bed.

This girl is crazy during the day, and sleeps on the bed at night, unable to wake up even screaming.

The couple had miscellaneous things in their minds, and they chatted occasionally.

Su Min is worried about the business of the supermarket.

"It's definitely not as good as today, but it's all normal." Lu Hao said.

The reputation of Weiminsheng Fresh Supermarket has already spread, which means that the exposure rate has already been obtained, and the rest is to see if it can absorb the amount, and the amount of absorption needs to be guaranteed by the service and the quality of fruits and vegetables.

Lu Hao had already prepared for these two points, and made demands on them.

He has confidence.

"Do you want me to help?" Su Min asked.

"You don't have to go, take care of the baby at home." Lu Hao patted her on the back and told her to turn around and lie sideways, "Don't move, just sleep like this."

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Hao got up and took a cold shower before going to Weiminsheng Supermarket.

"I was so busy buying 28 bars as a prize, why didn't I think about buying another one for myself to ride?" Lu Hao touched a cigarette and patted his head.

The distance from the community to the supermarket is not too far, but it takes nearly half an hour to walk.

When I arrived at the supermarket, the fruits and vegetables were already on the shelves, and there were already customers.

It's not as lively as yesterday, but it's still a lot.

"Mr. Lu."

"boss."

"Brother Ho."

Seeing Lu Hao approaching, everyone greeted him.

Lu Hao nodded, walked around the supermarket, saw that everything was normal, and sat in the office, but the curtains were drawn, and he could just see the overall situation of the supermarket from his position.

He is watching the traffic.

After the event, how the business is doing and how much turnover can be achieved will be known in most of the morning.
