Wearing books about young educated youth in the 70s
Chapter 4 Buying Clothes
To be honest, Xu Xiaoyu had rarely seen such a handsome guy in his previous life. He looked too upright, like a model on a catwalk.
While she was thinking wildly, another male educated youth also looked up and saw her. He was a little surprised in his eyes, and then he smiled and waved for her to come and sit down.
"Xu Zhiqing, are you coming to the county seat for dinner too?"
When Xu Xiaoyu saw that it was an old educated youth from the same village, she didn't hesitate and sat over.
"Yeah, come buy some food and snacks, and stop by the restaurant for a good meal..."
While talking, the food ordered by Xu Xiaoyu was also brought out. It was rare that the waiter personally served it. Others had to go to the ordering booth to get it themselves. This shows how tempting the toffee is.
She put the dish in the middle.
"Zhou Zhiqing, Cheng Zhiqing, you should also try the tofu and vermicelli stew. The portion is too big, and I can't eat much by myself."
Zhou Yi'an took a look at the new girl. She looked pretty and polite. Thinking about the rumors he had heard before, he was amazed. It seemed that the rumors were still unbelievable.
He picked up a chopstick of tofu, vermicelli and stewed meat and joked.
"Xu Zhiqing is still awesome. Cheng Zhou and I have come here several times and still haven't tasted this dish... Did Xu Zhiqing come here by bullock cart?"
"I came here by Uncle Zhang's bullock cart. I have to go to the supply store later. You guys came by car too, right? Otherwise, you can ask Uncle Zhang to take you back later?"
"That's not necessary. We came here on bicycles, so there's no need to trouble Uncle Zhang."
Following his line of sight, he saw two black bicycles parked at the door.
Xu Xiaoyu was extremely envious. Thinking of the feeling of the bones falling apart in an ox cart, she also wanted to buy a bicycle. After all, she would definitely come to the county town again in the future. Riding on an ox cart all the time was not the same thing.
She didn't ride the shared bicycles that were all over the streets in the past, but now they have become a luxury item.
But she also knew that she couldn't buy this thing with money, and she needed a special bicycle ticket to exchange it.
Zhou Yi'an and Cheng Zhou went to the countryside in 75, a year earlier than themselves. Seeing that each of them had a bicycle, they should have channels to get tickets. Unfortunately, the original owner was not familiar with them, so it was not easy to ask for this. .
Xu Xiaoyu and Zhou Yian chatted for a few words, and the meal passed. Cheng Zhou didn't speak the whole time until the three of them parted.
He seems to be a handsome guy with an indifferent personality.
Xu Xiaoyu looked at it for a few times and then looked away. After eating and drinking, she rushed to the next place, the state-owned store.
This place is easier to find than a hotel. It is the most visited place. When Xu Xiaoyu squeezed in, all the cheap and ticket-free items at the counter were sold out.
The lady at the counter sat there and painted her nails, looking impatient with the chattering customers. Occasionally, she only replied a few words when she saw an acquaintance. She looked extremely arrogant.
Xu Xiaoyu looked at the hanging clothes. They were all in regular colors and styles. The only "Chenliang" shirt with good fabrics and styles was a bright orange-red color.
“Excuse me, are there other colors for this style?”
The lady at the counter raised her eyelids and looked at Xu Xiaoyu, rolled her eyes, and raised her chin to the sky.
"It's 15 yuan plus two cloth tickets. If you want to buy it, buy it quickly. Don't delay the people behind you. Every day, people just ask for the price and don't buy it, and they don't even look at how much money they have in their pockets..."
With this attitude, if the original owner was here, he would probably be so angry that he would start a quarrel, but Xu Xiaoyu was not angry at all. She saw these people as if they were looking at living fossils of the times, and she just found it novel.
After all, these arrogant counter ladies are also a characteristic of the times. In this difficult era, it is quite impressive to have such an iron rice bowl.
The people shopping next to her seemed to have gotten used to her attitude, and they left one after another after buying their goods, leaving Xu Xiaoyu standing there.
She took out a stack of cloth tickets and money and put them on the counter. When she saw the salesperson's expression softening, her smile remained unchanged.
"Can you get me four boxes of canned fruit and a bag of toffee?"
After getting the things, she stuffed a few more all-purpose milk candies into them, winked and praised them.
"The clothes you are wearing are also 'really good', right? The color is so pretty, it looks so good on you."
"Sister, you should be about the same age as me, right? It's amazing that you can find such a good job at such a young age. I just saw you wearing this color and wanted to ask if there are other colors. If not, forget it!"
Xu Xiaoyu is not a fool. This is not a modern place where people can report casually. Even those who have formal jobs in the county dare not offend the salesperson casually. Of course she will not be a thorn.
These words obviously touched the other person's heart. The salesperson squinted his eyes and smiled. He inadvertently touched the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, twisted his waist and went to the warehouse to get an off-white shirt.
"You girl can talk. I'm almost 35, how can I still be like you, a girl in her [-]s or [-]s... This color sells well, and I just have the last piece of clothing. It will definitely look good on you, little girl. Better looking than me."
Xu Xiaoyu put away her things and took another pair of corduroy overalls, saying casually.
"I just want to wear something new, and I can't use up the tickets and money I sent from home, so I came to the county to see if there are any good-looking clothes..."
The salesperson paused for a moment, then remembered that he had just seen a large stack of cloth tickets, and with some thoughts, he pulled her over and spoke in a low voice.
"Girl, how many cloth tickets do you have in total?"
"It's only 20, what's the matter? Sister."
"... Just call me Sister Yang. Let me tell you the truth. The weather is getting hot now. My sisters-in-law at home all want to change into new clothes. The tickets in my hand are not enough to pull out the cloth and make one... Can you please give me some tickets? The price is the same as the black market, I will never let you suffer."
Xu Xiaoyu just wanted to make friends, so he naturally agreed.
After exchanging the tickets, Sister Yang promised to leave her a copy of any good things in the future, and the two said goodbye happily.
After walking out of the state-owned store, Xu Xiaoyu went to change the food without stopping. When she saw half of the money and tickets left in her hand, she couldn't help but sigh that the original owner was a really rich woman.
With such financial resources, it would be difficult for her not to be squeamish.
Uncle Zhang was still waiting for her at his original position. When he saw Xu Xiaoyu coming, he greeted her and got in the car and hurried home. The journey took too long and it was already evening when she got home.
Xu Xiaoyu returned to her residence in the dark and heard Tang Lianxia's voice inside before she opened the door.
"Let me tell you, Xu Xiaoyu is a capitalist eldest lady. Who among us educated youths goes to the county town every day like her?"
"Lian Xia, it's a bit uncomfortable for you to say that..."
"What's so bad? Bad elements like Xu Xiaoyu would have been beaten in the old society..."
"Since when has there been a dog in the house? I hear the barking from all the way."
Xu Xiaoyu opened the door and the three of them looked at each other.
While she was thinking wildly, another male educated youth also looked up and saw her. He was a little surprised in his eyes, and then he smiled and waved for her to come and sit down.
"Xu Zhiqing, are you coming to the county seat for dinner too?"
