brother of space

Zhang Jin was clutching 20 yuan, carrying a denim backpack that was [-]% to [-]% new, walking on the bustling streets with her head held high and her eyes straight.

Today is the day of Dongyang County No. [-] Middle School's monthly vacation, which coincides with the new national holiday policy. As one of the key high schools in Beijin City, Dongyang County No. [-] Middle School also responded to the country's call to give students a seven-day vacation at one time .

Seven days off!Although it cannot be compared with winter and summer vacations, it is exciting for students who have not enjoyed such a long vacation except for winter and summer vacations.Because they can finally justifiably sleep at home for several days.Just half a month ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival was just over, and now almost everyone has some spare money in their hands, so it goes without saying that the streets are bustling.The business of the small vendors on the main road in front of the No. [-] Middle School is also unprecedentedly good.

Zhang Jin is not particularly interested in the things of those small businesses and hawkers, and finally saved 20 yuan. Now he wants to buy his mother her favorite sweet and crispy.Thinking of her mother's happy appearance when eating sweet and crispy, Zhang Jin's tightly pursed mouth bent upwards unconsciously.

Sweet and crispy is three yuan a catty, and ten catties is equivalent to his living expenses for a month. This price is not only in Dongyang District, but also in Beijin City, because the salary of an ordinary worker in the urban area is equivalent to one month. The monthly maximum is five or six hundred.Not to mention Zhang Jin, a student from the countryside.

In normal times, whether it is Zhang Jin, who is used to saving, or Zhang's mother, who is only generous to her children, she is reluctant to buy it.In fact, Zhang Jin doesn't like sweets very much, but he knows that his mother likes it, and his younger sister likes it. More importantly, it will be his mother's birthday in ten days. Cake, but sweet and crispy he can afford now.Especially thinking of what my mother once said, when their brothers and sisters grow up and can make money in the future, they only need to bring her some sweet and crispy bread every time they go home.

So every time he takes a monthly vacation, as long as he saves some money, he will bring some.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival came this month, he brought a lot of pickles from home, and his grandfather (pronounced wei four times, meaning grandpa) cooked a lot of eggs and salted duck eggs for him, and it rained for half a month , Because of the cold weather, he ate the pickles for half a month without spoiling, so the 30 yuan given by Zhang's mother, if he couldn't resist buying a few braised pork in the last three days, he would have saved even more.

But he wouldn't use all the 20 yuan to buy biscuits. If he went home like that, he would definitely be beaten.It is estimated that the living expenses for the next month will be reduced.If that's the case, Zhang Jin is 1 unwilling.He had already made up his mind, and he was going to buy only three catties of sweet and crispy. With the remaining 11 yuan, he could go to the supermarket and buy the pen that Yuetou fancied.He remembered that the pen seemed to cost four and a half dollars, and after buying it, he could buy another bottle of ink, and he could also buy a thick notebook.

Zhang Jin couldn't help but tremble when she thought that the money in her hand could buy a thick notebook and a fountain pen.

It should be said that apart from Zhang Jin's elegant and shrewd appearance, he is really not shrewd on the inside.On the contrary, when there is little language, it drives his parents crazy.But a face can be very deceiving.Maybe it's also due to his inner personality. When this kid is free, his favorite thing is to write and draw.

Writing and drawing are naturally inseparable from notebooks, so when he buys things, he also likes blank paper, letter paper and notebooks the most.

Calculating and walking straight forward, Zhang Jin soon came to the Parkway Supermarket next to the school. The Parkway Supermarket is said to be a supermarket, but it is incomparable with modern real supermarkets. The first point is its size.In fact, it is only about [-] to [-] square meters, which is similar to a street store, but because of the hard work on the decoration, and the use of the name of a supermarket that has not yet appeared in Beijin City, it is very admired by the students in the Sixth Middle School. Any student with a little financial strength will come here for a stroll, and most of them won't be empty-handed after this visit.

Zhang Jin also likes to come to Parkway Supermarket, because the school supplies here are more beautiful and more refined than those at the roadside stalls.Every time he comes over, he will carefully choose in that area, and if he finds something he likes, he will save some money and buy it.He didn't have time to watch carefully when he came here this time, so he rushed directly to the area where the pen he had seen last time was located, and it didn't take long to choose a black gold-edged pen and a bottle of carbon ink. After calculating the price in my mind, I went back to the notebook area and picked out a soft leather notebook with a cover.

Originally, he preferred hard leather notebooks, but after choosing, he found that soft leather notebooks are the most affordable.So in the end I chose soft leather.

Coming out of the supermarket, Zhang Jin went straight to the stall selling sweet and crispy, and bought three catties of sweet and crispy there. So far, only four yuan of the 20 yuan in his pocket was left.

After digging out the $[-] for a ride, I wanted to eat a bowl of beef offal noodles with meat for two dollars, but in the end I only had fifty cents left.

In fact, you can eat a bowl of noodles for fifty cents, even if he didn't eat this morning, one yuan is enough.But he has been thinking about affordable beef noodles outside the school for a month, and his mother is reluctant to get beef for them when he goes home.

"Hey, young man, let's play rings? Ten cents apiece, it's a good deal. Just take it away when you put it on." Zhang Jin was walking, a man with a dark and thin face was grinning with a big mouth full of yellow teeth. shouted at him.

Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, looked up at the other party, and then looked at the things on the ground next to him.

He had seen this trap before when he was in junior high school in the town. To be honest, he wanted to try it many times at that time, but because he had no money in his pocket, he was reluctant to save the few cents he had finally saved, and finally let it go .

But today, he immediately fell in love with a pink plush toy in the fifth row of the stall. He had seen that toy in the supermarket before, and it was very expensive, costing 40 yuan.Three and forty yuan may be the price of a meal for the students of later generations, but it is very valuable now. At least Zhang Jin's food expenses are 40 yuan a month because of the special care of his mother and grandfather.But that plush toy wasn't something he could think of either.

Seeing that toy, Zhang Jin immediately thought of what her little sister said while watching TV, if she could have a cuddling bear, she would be willing to die.

He himself is not a girl and doesn't understand the benefits of a hugging bear, but when he saw TV, he thought it would be cute for a little girl to hug a hugging bear.

Seeing Zhang Jin hesitate, the stall owner smiled more cordially.

"How about it, do you want to play? It doesn't matter if you try it, it won't cost you much."

Zhang Jin squeezed the money in her hand, pursed her lips and asked, "Fifty cents, can I play?"

"Yes." The boss laughed even brighter when he heard it, and said in his heart, I will let you play for ten cents, as long as you pay.

Zhang Jin hesitated, and handed over a dollar.

Originally, the boss didn't want to find money, but unfortunately Zhang Jin was such a picky guy, he just stared at the boss looking for good money before turning around and throwing money.

To be honest, Zhang Jin has really practiced the ability to throw circles.Of course, this is definitely not because of the health-preserving skills taught by his grandfather, but because of the boys' martial arts dreams, dreaming that they can also "Little Li Fei Dao".

But the first one was doomed to fail. Although he had prepared for a long time, who knew that the moment he threw it out, he was blown away by a gust of wind when he circled gently.It's just that with the failure of the first one, Zhang Jin became even more nervous during the second one.I even regretted my impulse a little bit in my heart.

Fifty cents!A bowl of butter noodles!

"Oh, the young man is lucky!" The boss yelled exaggeratedly, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, "Look, look, everyone, come and take a look, this young man will be able to get one in the second hand!" Jade pendant. For a dime, tell me, where can I buy a jade pendant for a dime?"

Zhang Jin was interrupted by the boss to show off, and felt very awkward, thinking: What I want is a plush toy, who wants your broken jade pendant!

The boss didn't care about this, seeing a thick circle of people around him, and framed the jade pendant around Zhang Jin's neck, his smiling eyes narrowed.Casually shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, keep working hard."

Zhang Jin didn't pay attention to the crowd at all, squeezed the circle in her hand, took a deep breath, just...

Maybe because I was too nervous, I thought that I was sure that I would succeed, but it failed again.

Seeing this, the boss quickly encouraged: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's only a little bit close."

Zhang Jin stared at the plush toy, made a moment of mental preparation again, and then made a move.

"Haha!" There was a commotion in the crowd. It turned out that everyone saw what Zhang Jin meant, but it was a pity that he missed again.

"What are you laughing at, what are you laughing at, the little panda is not framed, isn't this trapping Guanyin Bodhisattva?" The boss said while gritting his teeth, secretly cursing the bastard in front of him for being too lucky.The real goal was not caught, but to get rid of his two treasures one after another.Although these things are not worth a few dollars, they are probably worth more than fifty cents.

"Oh, I'm caught!" Just as the boss was struggling for a moment, Zhang Jin successfully put the last snare on the ear of the bear fur toy.

"Boss, Boss, are there any fluffy bears? I want to play too, and I want a ring for two yuan." Before the boss woke up from the shock, there was a lot of noise around, and everyone wanted to get a ring.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!" The boss quickly stuffed the fluffy bear to Zhang Jin while bleeding in his heart, and then quickly collected the money, praying in his heart that he could get the fluffy bear's money back today.

Zhang Jin didn't care about the boss's actions that seemed to chase people away, he only knew that he was so happy that he wanted to jump up at the moment.But he has always been 'calm'.So although I was very excited in my heart, I was still cold and indifferent on the surface, as if strangers should not enter.

On the way to the station, Zhang Jin was in such a good mood that she didn't even want to eat beef noodles. Thinking of her younger sister's happy look when she got the gift, the corners of her tightly pursed lips couldn't stop bending upwards.But after all, the way home is too far away. If I don’t eat lunch now, I will be hungry until three or four in the afternoon.After getting out of the car, we still have to walk a long way, which is the most tormenting time.So before getting in the car, Zhang Jin still ate a big bowl of meaty and thick soup, which was different from the beef noodles with clear water and dried meat in later generations.

Zhang Jin's feat today.If it were someone else, they would definitely be showing off all the way home, but whether it was the bus in front of them or the tricycle in the town later, no one talked to him or asked him what he was holding in his arms. At the moment how do you see how expensive the stuffed bear thing is.

The reason is that everyone who knows him knows that this kid doesn't look like he has a gentle face, but in fact, he can't beat a fart with three sticks. If you ask ten sentences, you will be rewarded with one sentence.

Young people have their own self-esteem, and if things go on like this, naturally no one is willing to talk to this "[-] million" kid.Even today, there was a girl who deliberately brought the topic in the car to Teddy Bear, and even looked at him reluctantly for a long time, but she didn't even look at others.This is really in line with what Zhang's mother said - our second boy is a fool with a face of "fake tiger prestige".
