Siheyuan: Reborn in 59 years of famine, with a wife and daughter

Walking out of Xueru Silk Shop, Lin Qiye could see that Li Yueling was very sorry to spend the sixty-five yuan.

Lin Qiye gently held the other person's hand and said, "Wife, don't worry. I can still earn more money after I spend it. Don't worry."

Although she was still worried, Li Yueling nodded heavily.

Lin Qiye said, "Next, I'll take you two to buy a sewing machine and a bicycle. We still have more than 300 yuan left. After buying two big items, we should still have some money left."

"Qian Ye... Actually... Actually I don't really want a sewing machine. I can sew clothes at home by hand. Why don't we just buy a bicycle instead of a sewing machine?"

Lin Qiye looked at Li Yueling and knew that she didn't want the sewing machine, but wanted to save money for him and for the family.

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already said that I can make money, wife, so I'll buy you a sewing machine. This will not only increase your efficiency in sewing and mending, but also save you some suffering."

Li Yueling wanted to say something, but Lin Qiye pulled her away without hesitation and headed to a sewing machine shop in front.

When she arrived at the door of the sewing machine shop, Li Yueling saw that the shop only sold new brand products. It was a shop that specialized in selling new Fei Ge sewing machines.

Li Yueling still stopped outside the door and said to Lin Qiye, "Qiye, even if we want to buy a sewing machine, there is no need for our family to buy this kind of brand. We can just buy a generic or second-hand one, as long as it works."

"Wife, just buy Fei Ge. No-name or second-hand ones tend to have many problems and need to be repaired after a few days of use. It's so troublesome, and they're not as good as brand new ones. And even though branded ones are expensive now, they're durable. One may be enough for us to use for a lifetime."

Li Yueling, who was used to being in an awkward situation, felt very nervous.

But he was still dragged into the store by Lin Qiye.

A family of three walked into the store.

The boss came over to greet me.

"Oh, sir, are you planning to buy a sewing machine for your wife? In our store, we only sell Fei Ge brand products. They are genuine and of high quality. One machine can be used for more than ten or twenty years. You can rest assured to buy from us."

Lin Qiye took Li Yueling and started looking at the sewing machines in the shop.

"Boss, how much is this one?"

Lin Qiye knew that if he asked his wife for her opinion, she would definitely choose the cheapest one, or even if she had no intention of buying it, she would consider buying a second-hand one again.

So Lin Qiye chose for her directly. Although Lin Qiye didn’t know much about it, Fei Ge brand couldn’t be bad. After all, it was one of the major brands in the 1950s and 1960s. As long as she chose a slightly more expensive one, it would definitely be very useful.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This is the latest model that was recently released, but it is much better than the old one. The price is 150 yuan and you can take it away."

Lin Qiye looked at the boss and said, "Is the package free?"

"Sir, we not only deliver the goods, but we also issue all kinds of receipts, stamp them at the Public Security Bureau, and then deliver them to your house in person."

Lin Qiye knew that this era was different from the later generations. In this era, if you wanted to buy the four major items, you had to get all kinds of receipts, stamp them with a steel seal at the Public Security Bureau, and register them before the items could be yours.

Otherwise it would be suspected of theft.

Lin Qiye had to admit that the store's service was really good.

Lin Qiye was too lazy to bargain with the other party. After all, they were all brand stores, and the prices were supervised by the government. The other party did not dare to quote a random price, and even if he bargained, he would not be able to get much lower.

Lin Qiye said, "Okay, Boss, I'll pay the money first. When the time comes, please help me get all the receipts, stamp them at the Public Security Bureau, and then send them to my house. But it's best to send them at 7 or 8 in the evening. Now my family of three is going to take a walk outside. We'll go to a restaurant and then go back. If you go too early, no one will be home."

"Okay, sir. Please leave your address and name, and also sign and stamp this letter of authorization."

The other party took out a letter of authorization, which was a letter of authorization that Lin Qiye had entrusted the store to have stamped by the Public Security Bureau.

After all, it stands to reason that going to the public security bureau to register and stamp the property should be the buyer's business, not the seller's. The seller is only responsible for issuing the tickets required for the stamp.

Lin Qiye took a quick look at the letter of authorization, then signed and put his fingerprint on it.

Then I left my address and name in the store's record book.

Finally, he gave the money and the receipt for the sewing machine to the store owner, and left with his wife and children.

Lin Qiye didn't have to worry about the other party defaulting on his debt. After all, the other party had such a big shop there that he would never do such a thing.

Generally, this kind of black-eating-black thing only happens on the black market or on street stalls.

Lin Qiye walked out of the sewing machine shop with his wife and children and quickly found a bicycle shop.

A family of three walked in.

This shop also specializes in selling Fei Ge bicycles and does not sell any other brands of bicycles.

Lin Qiye spent 160 yuan to buy a women's bicycle in this store.

Li Yueling said, "Qiye, let's not buy a women's bike, let's buy a men's bike so that you can ride it. Besides, you work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, which is far away. I'm close here, so you don't need a bike at all."

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Silly boy, I can ride a women's bicycle just as well. But if it's a men's bicycle, it's not easy for you to ride it. After all, men's bicycles are taller, and sometimes they can't be used when wearing a skirt. Let's buy a women's bicycle, and then we can all ride it. When our Beibei grows up, she can still learn it. It's not easy to fall on a women's bicycle."

The ignorant Lin Beibei jumped twice in Lin Qiye's arms, clapped her hands, and said, "Okay, okay, let's buy a lady's one. When Beibei grows up, she will have to learn how to ride it. Then mommy will let Beibei ride it."

Lin Qiye bent his left index finger lovingly, scratched the other's nose, and said, "Little girl, you want to occupy your mother's bicycle now. When my Beibei grows up, Daddy will buy you a car that will be cooler than this."

"Okay, okay, daddy, don't lie to me. Liars are like dogs. When Beibei grows up, daddy will buy her a car to drive."

The family of three smiled and finally bought the ladies' bicycle.

Counted the money and gave the bicycle ticket.

Because they are all brand stores, as long as you sign a power of attorney, the store will help you to stamp it with the public security bureau for registration, and they will also deliver the goods to your home.

In this way, Lin Qiye saved himself a lot of trouble.

I spent 160 yuan on a bicycle, 150 yuan on a sewing machine, and 65 yuan on nine sets of clothes for the family.

The total amount spent is three hundred and seventy-five yuan.

Lin Qiye earned four hundred yuan and fifty cents from selling his prey, and had twenty-five yuan and fifty cents left.

This money is enough for a family of three to go out to a restaurant and have a good meal, with some left over.

Lin Qiye said, "Wife, it's rare for us to go out for a walk, today I will take you to a restaurant, we won't go home for dinner tonight."
