Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

The three people went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative together.

The supply and marketing cooperatives in Beijing are not comparable to those in their small county.

It's several times bigger, has all the goods, and the styles are new.

There were five or six counters selling clothes and fabrics, and they were all connected together, making it dazzling for everyone to see.

Compared with the clothes in the county, the clothes in the capital look very fashionable. Bell-bottom pants are the most popular and the best-selling item at the trousers counter. Many young people come to buy them in groups.

These bell-bottom trousers are said to have been invented by Western sailors, who wanted to cover their boots with wide trouser legs to prevent water from splashing in.

Later, it became popular with movies.

Although they are all bell-bottomed pants, they are also divided into large-flared pants, small-flared pants and micro-flared pants according to the degree of enlargement of the trouser opening.

Several young people standing in front of the counter were studying which one to buy.

Some people say that you should be subtle and just buy a small speaker.

Some people say that if you want to buy something, just buy the most special loudspeaker that suits you.

Others want to compromise. Since it’s hard to say, then buy the middle one. It’s neither invisible nor too exaggerated.

In addition to bell-bottom pants, floral shirts are also the most popular among young people. Compared with the past, the colors of today's shirts are more beautiful and the patterns are bolder.

The younger sisters in the family are all as young as flowers, and they must like bright colors. Zhou Jinxin glanced at the rows of floral shirts, calculating whether the cloth tickets he carried were enough.

"Song Zhengyang?"

Zhou Jinxin was looking at a pair of denim bell-bottom pants when the salesperson in front of him suddenly called out Song Zhengyang's name.

Song Zhengyang looked up, his eyes confused.

"Is it really you?

Have you returned to the capital?

Why don't you look for me?

We old classmates haven't seen each other for so long, let's have dinner together tonight. "

The saleswoman was so excited that if the counter hadn't blocked her, she would have rushed out and shook hands with Comrade Song Zhengyang cordially.

"I'm here on a business trip."

Song Zhengyang looked up and saw that he didn't seem to recognize this eldest sister.

The saleswoman in front of her had her hair permed and was wearing a bright red flowered shirt. Her face was very white, but at first glance, it looked like it was white, and she was not white at all.

Just this set of equipment looks much older than him.

Did he just say he was an old classmate?When were the classmates?

"You don't recognize me?

We are junior high school classmates.

I am Peng Lili. "

The saleswoman looked at Song Zhengyang as if she was greatly stimulated.

How many years has this been?Why don't you recognize her?

“Comrade, give me two pairs of these pants with small flares.

And those shirts at the back, give me these sizes.

And that hat over there, this vest over here, and this one next door..."

Seeing Song Zhengyang's behavior, Zhou Jinxin knew that this Tiehanhan must not have even remembered who the girl was.

She took three pairs of bell-bottom pants, one for each of the second and third oldest children, and one pair for Xiao Qiao.

With her character, she will definitely like it.

Forget about the remaining two small ones, they are too fashionable and not suitable for students.

But I also bought them two nice floral shirts.

There are also her parents’ vests, hats, and cloth shoes with mille-feather soles.

You can’t see it here, but if you take this bell-bottom floral shirt back to their small county town, it will be a completely fashionable item.

Shouldn't it attract onlookers?

"Go over there and pay."

The salesperson wrote the ticket and handed it over, asking her to pay the money first.

Before Zhou Jinxin could get the ticket, Song Zhengyang took it first, took the ticket and went to pay.

The salesperson looked at the back of Song Zhengyang going to pay the money, and Zhou Jinxin looking at him, thinking in his mind.

Is this a wedding?

This lesbian doesn't look very old. She's quite good-looking, but not as fashionable as she is.

"Comrade, comrade?"

When Song Zhengyang came back, Comrade Peng Lili was still staring at Zhou Jinxin.

"Oh, here you go.

My old classmates can’t tell, you’re already married?

Why haven't you heard of it? "

In her mind, unmarried people, even if they are friends, will not help pay.

If you pay money so naturally, you must be married.

"Not yet, classmate Peng, we have to catch the afternoon train. Let's talk next time we have a chance."

Song Zhengyang took what she handed over with a smile and said goodbye to her politely.

He originally wanted to buy Comrade Xiao Zhou a pair of bell-bottom pants to follow the trend, but now when he saw this classmate Peng, he was afraid that if Xiao Zhou really followed the trend, he would perm his hair when he went back.

From his point of view, such hair is really unsightly.

He just recalled all his junior high school classmates, and Peng Lilita remembered who they were.

This change is really huge, and it is completely different from the hard and simple image in junior high school.

"Okay, let's organize a class reunion next time our old classmates come back and have a nice get-together."

Peng Lili said with a smile, her enthusiasm undiminished.

After saying goodbye to Peng Lili, Song Zhengyang and Zhou Jinxin walked out of the clothes counter, and then went to the electrical appliance counter.

Secretary Xiao Wang followed the two of them, working hard and taking the initiative to help carry things.

He himself also followed the trend and bought a pair of bell-bottom pants, a dark floral shirt, and a pair of sunglasses.

Wearing these sunglasses makes it feel like it's cloudy, not to mention it's quite cool.

"It's getting hotter and hotter today."

"No, my little kid used to go out and run wild after school, but he doesn't go out much recently."

“The same goes for my family.

Get me a pair of these cloth shoes. "

Two women who came to buy shoes for their children said while fanning the wind with their hands.

Zhou Jinxin also wiped his sweat and looked at the big fan spinning above his head.

Then he looked at the table fan on the counter.

Their county also has this type of table fan, which costs 100 yuan each.

It’s only 85 yuan here.

Thinking that his parents kept wiping themselves with water every year when it was hot at home, Comrade Xiao Zhou made a decisive move and bought a desktop electric fan.

With this fan, summer days must be a little easier.

Her parents don't have to keep scrubbing to cool down, and Xiao Wu doesn't have to get prickly heat anymore.

Secretary Xiao Wang happily followed behind carrying his things. From the envious eyes of the people around him, he seemed to experience a bit of shopping happiness.

The more you shop, the more popular you become, and the more things you buy, the more you buy.

Until the tickets were gone and most of the money was gone.

Zhou Jinxin suddenly woke up.

"You really can't help but spend money. If I had known, I would have been more relaxed."

Seeing that most of the money was suddenly missing from his hand, Zhou Jinxin felt heartbroken.

It’s true, there’s no end to buying things.

One thing from the east and one thing from the west together are not cheap.

But thinking about spending money to buy happiness is worth it.

Her sisters must be very happy to go back this time.

"Let's go, go back and pack our things, have a meal and then go to the station.

Don’t regret buying everything. They are all fresh goods that are rare to see in our county. "

Song Zhengyang looked at the time and suggested that everyone should go back.

She was also afraid that Zhou Jinxin would be really sad, so she kept trying to persuade her.
