please give me back the skin

In December, City C was being ravaged by a cold current. People outdoors were wearing thick winter clothes, wishing to wrap themselves up and walk like Eskimos.

It was a cold day outside, and the heater in Yongjia Supermarket was turned on at full speed. Customers who came to shop had to take off their coats temporarily and hold them in their hands.

This is one of the busiest times in the supermarket.People just got off work and rushed to buy some fresh vegetables to cook at home.There is a long queue in front of the cash register, and a mountain of goods is piled up on the counter waiting for settlement.

Wu Yiwen was in the queue, moving forward slowly.

An aunt in front who snapped up poster products took out a reusable shopping bag from her pocket.She unfolded the bag and shook it, supporting the bag with one hand and filling it with the other.

Her somewhat broad figure stood in front of her, and the cashier had to help her pack things so that she could leave at a faster pace.

The aunt and the cashier loaded things, and Wu Yiwen took out the items in the shopping basket one by one and put them on the cashier counter.

The cashier with curly hair helped the aunt stuff the last box of yogurt, then immediately turned around and picked up the product and began to scan the code.The action is neat and the business is proficient.

With her eyes downcast, the cashier girl looks at the product for a while, and the display screen for a while.She was checking the merchandise to see if the items and prices matched.

"Tomatoes, eight yuan and seven; potatoes, five and three." The cashier checked silently in his heart, and his hands kept on saying, "eggplant, seven and fifty; salmon, sixty—huh?"

City C is not coastal, and seafood is imported from outside.The cashier girl had just seen the salmon in the fresh food section two days ago, and the high price of 40 yuan a catty deterred her.

She shook the salmon piece in her hand in surprise.It weighs more than two catties, how could it be this price?The cashier girl turned it over and took a closer look. The price tag said promotional fish, not the normal product name.

The cashier girl immediately raised her head and looked at the person standing in front of the cashier counter with vigilant eyes.She wondered if it was a cheap label being secretly replaced by customers with dirty hands and feet.

Wu Yiwen faced the cashier girl's eyes calmly.

Seeing Wu Yiwen's face clearly, the cashier girl's suspicion faded away.She knew this man, from the storage and transportation department.Although they don't know each other's name, they are familiar with each other because they are both old employees of Yongjia Supermarket.

Veteran employees like her and Wu Yiwen have passed their qualifications and are in the process of rising.They all cherish their feathers more, and would not easily do such petty theft.So the cashier girl quickly dispelled her doubts.

The cashier girl put the salmon on the other side, and grabbed the next product to scan the code.He asked easily, "Is there a special price for salmon?"

Wu Yiwen said: "Well, the limited-time special promotion is 28 pounds a catty. It's still fresh, if you're interested, hurry up, the quantity is not much."

The cashier girl nodded knowingly, planning to ask someone to help her in a while.

Fresh food pays attention to the word "fresh".Some vegetables and foods have a very short shelf life.In order not to be unable to sell at a loss, the fresh food department will put food that is about to expire, such as fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs, and poultry that are not too fresh, at low prices and affix special labels to promote sales.

This price is much lower than the regular price.The products that are in short supply are often purchased by employees who have received inside information in advance without real customers seeing them.

Every department will have such processing goods, and the information among employees is very well-informed, and it is usually consumed internally.Because there was no asset loss to the supermarket, the store turned a blind eye and would not strictly prohibit it.

After settling the payment for Wu Yiwen and adding points to his membership card, the cashier girl handed the membership card to Wu Yiwen.

Because he bought a lot of things, he asked for a bag.The cashier girl swiftly opened the mouth of the bag and stuffed things into it.

"I see that you still have a lot of points on your card. The points will be cleared at the end of the year, so remember to use them up quickly." In return for the news, the cashier girl kindly reminded her.

Wu Yiwen was taken aback for a moment, nodded, picked up the bag and left the cash register.

Yongjia Supermarket is one of the three major chain supermarkets in C City, and it implements a membership points system.After the members' points have accumulated to a certain amount, they can go to the member center to exchange them.

Items that can be exchanged range from cheap daily necessities such as toilet paper and laundry detergent, to high-end products such as garment steamers, vacuum cleaners, and smart rice cookers.

In the past, the membership points of Yongjia Supermarket could be accumulated across the year, but in the second half of this year, the rules were changed to be cleared at the end of the year.If it wasn't for the girl's reminder, Wu Yiwen would have really forgotten about it.

Wu Yiwen has worked in Yongjia Supermarket for five years.He has to buy things in the supermarket every now and then, and the points he has accumulated are very considerable.It is almost comparable to the points earned from bulk shopping.

If it was cleared to zero, Wu Yiwen would be so regretful that his intestines would turn green, and he would not be able to eat or sleep well for a year because of his heartache.

Wu Yiwen walked to the membership center, took out his membership card, and asked to exchange items.

Wu Yiwen is diligent and thrifty, but also good at planning.

When he first saw the items to be exchanged, he thought it was a bit uneconomical to exchange for daily necessities.It is more appropriate to wait until the points are high and exchange them directly for home appliances.

As a result, saving and saving so much, Wu Yiwen forgot about it.

When the member center swiped his card, he was surprised to see so many points.As soon as Wu Yiwen said that he would use up all the points, he took out an exchange list and asked him to choose.

In the end, Wu Yiwen chose a smart rice cooker, a high-power electric oil heater, a high-end brand hair dryer, and a high-end brand electric shaver.

These are all things he wants but is reluctant to spend money on.

Seeing that the balance was less than [-] cents, Wu Yiwen hesitated for a moment.Is it redeemed now?Or wait until the end of the month to save more?

He was really worried that he had forgotten again.

Seeing how he was thinking, the colleagues in the member center said to him: "If you want to change, you can take advantage of the present. The low-scoring items are just arrived, new and complete. You also know that at the end of the year, there are too many things to do. Then exchange Gao Feng, you may not be able to exchange for what you want.”

Thinking of the hustle and bustle of supermarkets around New Year's Day every year, Wu Yiwen decided to change now.Even if you forget it by then, it will save your heartache.

The toilet paper and laundry detergent were changed, and the points accumulated over the years were exhausted.At the last minute, the colleagues in the member center took care of him as their own employees, took out a large cardboard box, and asked him to pick one he liked from it.

It was a cute plastic figure in a big box.Very small, only the size of a thumb.There are well-known anime characters, as well as familiar cartoon characters in games.

Wu Yiwen rummaged through a lot of Conan, beaming gray wolf, unlucky bear, and bear haunts.After a while, he caught a glimpse of a small pink octopus wrapped in a glass vial.

There are two wet eyes on the round pink head, the pink and white round mouth is slightly pouted, and eight fat and short arms and legs are like petals under the body.

Isn't this the octopus girl who can only spray venom in Xiaoxiaole? !Even though it didn't have a small crooked hat on its head, Wu Yiwen recognized it right away.

Compared with other cartoon villains who are too childish, Wu Yiwen is more acceptable to this pink octopus.At least it's ugly and cute.

"That's it." Wu Yiwen held the pink octopus in his hands, and gestured to his colleagues in the member center.

Wu Yiwen found a cart and pushed away a lot of electrical appliances and the vegetables he bought.The female colleague who had just redeemed points for him buried her head in the box.

"What are you doing?" Another female employee asked her strangely.

"The little octopus that person exchanged just now is so cute! I want one too." She muttered, "I can't find it anyway, is it just that one?"

Not only is there no little octopus, but there are also no frogs, foxes, yellow chickens, and little bears in the same game series.

"Strange, how did that octopus bottle get in?" she asked confused.

It was already 7 o'clock when Wu Yiwen got home.He had too many things, so he had to borrow a flatbed from the department.

Wu Yiwen lives not too far from Yongjia Supermarket, it only takes half an hour to walk.

This place is a multi-storey residential complex with a history of more than ten years. The developer of the real estate company is one of the best groups in C City. It has a radius of tens of kilometers, and both sides of the entire street are residential houses developed by this group.

It is conceivable that as the only large general supermarket in this area, Yongjia's business is booming.

Wu Yiwen went downstairs to his unit and called his roommate.After a while, a well-mannered young man in his 20s with black-rimmed glasses came down.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Zhao Yan was taken aback when he saw the stacked flatbed trucks.

Although Wu Yiwen can't be said to be stingy, he usually saves as much as he can, and lives a very simple life.The appearance of such a large number of household appliances was beyond Zhao Yan's impression of Wu Yiwen.

Wu Yiwen said: "These things are all exchanged with supermarket points." Wu Yiwen moved the things down, "You can take a look here first, and I will put the flatbed cart."

The flatbed was borrowed by Wu Yiwen from his department with his work permit, so he must not lose it, otherwise he would not be fined.

Wu Yiwen put the flatbed cart in the basement which was not used very much, and went up to Zhao Yan to move all the things to the fourth floor.

The house they live in is the west gate of the unit, with two bedrooms and two halls, which is transparent from north to south.The two bedrooms are facing the sun, and the living room is directly connected to the balcony, so the lighting is very good.Zhao Yan lives in the larger master bedroom, and Wu Yiwen lives in the smaller second bedroom.

Move the things into the door, let's not talk about anything else, Wu Yiwen hurried to cook.

Zhao Yan gave Wu Yiwen 350 yuan for food every month, but Wu Yiwen had to feed three meals a day at regular intervals.

In the evening, with a large plate of pan-fried salmon and braised eggplant, Zhao Yan and Wu Yiwen ate all the rice in the pot.

After eating, Zhao Yan went to wash the dishes, Wu Yiwen cleared his mind, and then pushed the electric oil back to the bedroom to install it.

The house is too old, a lot of iron sand has accumulated in the heating pipes, and the circulation is not good.Zhao Yan's room is okay, and it can barely maintain the temperature of [-] or [-] degrees.Wu Yiwen's room was at the end of the cycle, several degrees lower than his, hovering only at eleven or twelve degrees.

After the electric oil heater was installed and turned on, after running for a while, it was obvious that the room was much warmer.

Wu Yiwen happily rolled on the bed with the pillow in his arms, and when he turned over, the things in his pocket gave him a shock.

He took it out and saw that it was the pink octopus.

Looking at this octopus, Wu Yiwen was a little worried.

At that time, I saw that I liked it and picked it up without thinking too much. There was only a rope ring on the mouth of the bottle of this little octopus.It's more like a mobile phone chain than the other plastic figurines that come with a key ring.
