Getting rich in chronology
Chapter 149
What Chen Yu didn't know was that after the three of them walked out of the post office, a staff member stared at their backs for a long time, which made other colleagues feel strange.
"Xiaofang, what are you looking at?" Sister Lu of the post office couldn't help asking when she saw her young colleague He Xiaofang staring at the gate after finishing her work.
He Xiaofang's expression was in a trance, as if something was on his mind, and he said vaguely: "It's nothing..."
A gay man carrying a postal bag and loading a letter said sourly, "Young people nowadays don't know the price of daily necessities if they are not in charge of their households. They don't have so much to talk about after making such long phone calls."
When he came in and pretended to be a letter, he was on the phone. He was almost done pretending, but this person was still calling.
Sister Lu rolled her eyes: "You don't care if people call or not, and it's useless of your money."
"Xiaofang, the young man just now is not from our local area. I have never seen or heard of a young man with such spirit." Sister Lu asked curiously.
He Xiaofang nodded and said, "The call is to the capital, and the accent doesn't sound like our locals."
Sister Lu smacked her lips and couldn't help saying again: "You are so handsome, I don't know whose relatives are."
He Xiaofang hesitated for a while, and after the sour-talking postman left, she went to Sister Lu and said mysteriously, "Sister Lu, I might know whose relative it is."
Sister Lu was stunned for a moment before realizing who she was talking about, and she was aroused curiosity: "Whose family? Do you know?"
He Xiaofang said: "Do you still remember that an old man at our post office called last year and said that his grandson would be able to introduce jobs to the city as a worker, and he recruited [-] people at a time?"
Sister Lu immediately said, "Why don't you remember this?"
That day, she and He Xiaofang told other colleagues about it as a joke, but the leader heard it, and the leader criticized them, saying that they should report the scammers in time so as not to harm the local people.
Unexpectedly, the recruitment thing turned out to be true!
Whose family doesn't have many relatives living in the village? If you say you have doubts at first, some female workers are reluctant to pay overtime pay to stay in the factory to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, and some come back for the New Year.
They also talked about their experience of working in a factory, which made everyone dumbfounded. Later, when there was job recruitment information, those of them who had formal jobs were a little moved.
It costs more than 100 yuan a month. They work in the post office, which is considered a good unit, and it is only 50 yuan a month.
If it is not reluctant to give up the iron job, I have to give it a try.
Although they are no longer recruiting workers, this fact is impressing them, it is impossible for Sister Lu not to remember.
"What? The handsome young man just now is a relative of the Shen family?" Sister Lu couldn't help asking.
Because of the job recruitment, the Shen family became famous. I heard that some leaders of the town went to express their condolences. I don't know what they said, but then they fell silent again.
He Xiaofang nodded vigorously, swallowed, and struggled: "Sister, I think the one just now seems to be the promising grandson of the Shen family."
She helped Mr. Shen make the call, and later they joked that she still remembered that the child of the Shen family seemed to be called a cat?
The little girl just now called out "Brother Mao'er"!
Sister Lu was dumbfounded: "Really?"
Has she seen Fenghuang'er from the Shen family?
"Really!" He Xiaofang told her her deduction, stared at Sister Lu and waited for her to speak: "Do you think so?"
Sister Lu clapped her palms together: "Oh, I also think so when you say that. How can there be such a handsome young man in our rural area?"
She couldn't say nice words, but she was different from those young people in the town who were in their twenties.
Sister Lu regretted it a lot: "I knew I should have watched more."
As soon as she was old, although she felt that the young man was handsome, she was afraid that she would be embarrassed by him, so she went to work by herself, who would have thought that she was such a character.
"One more thing..."
He Xiaofang babbled and babbled, making Sister Lu anxious: "What are you talking about!"
He Xiaofang said, "Sister Lu, you are related to Principal Li, right?"
There are only two schools in the town. The principal of the primary school is named Dou, and principal Li is naturally the principal of the town. If you ask anyone in the town, you will know which one.
"Yeah, his wife is my cousin, what's wrong?"
"Good thing!" He Xiaofang said happily, "The Shen family just said that he would donate money to the school."
"Really?"
"Really, there's no need to tell lies." He Xiaofang was also a student in the town, and was grateful to the old principal.
"I heard it with my own ears. He said that he wanted to donate money to the school. His sister also asked him to donate chalk, eleven boxes." He Xiaofang said.
"That's really good." Sister Lu said happily.
Neither of them felt that donating [-] boxes of chalk was too little or what, why don't they dislike those who don't want money?Eleven boxes of chalk add up to nearly ten yuan, which is several days' wages for them.
The town is small, and we live close together. Relatives visit each other, and it's just a short walk away.
After get off work, Sister Lu remembered the news she heard today, and walked to her cousin's house after dinner.
Principal Li's family had dinner a little late, and they were still eating at the moment. The principal's wife was quite happy to see the girl coming, so she quickly greeted her and asked her if she had eaten, and if she hadn't eaten, she would have something to eat together.
"I've eaten, I've eaten, sister, don't be busy, I heard some good news today, and I'm here to tell my brother-in-law."
Principal Li is a thin middle-aged man. Hearing what his aunt said, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the good news?"
"Someone wants to donate chalk to your school!"
Principal Li laughed: "I met a kind-hearted person again."
It's really good news. Some of their school's teaching supplies, such as desks and benches, books, lesson plans, chalk, blackboard erasers, etc., will be allocated from above.
But it is impossible for these things to last forever, and it is difficult to apply for new ones if they are broken.
The desks and chairs are broken and repaired and can still be used. The blackboard eraser is useless. Cutting some rags can be used as a rag to wipe the blackboard, but it needs to be changed and washed frequently.
There is really no way to use chalk. The teacher has to teach, and it is impossible not to use chalk. This cannot be saved no matter what.The ones handed out every semester are not enough at all. For this matter, he did not know how many times he ran to the county.
Run a few more times, batch a few boxes, it can last for a period of time, and he will run again when he runs out.
Occasionally, someone donates chalk to the school, and everyone is happy, because there is no one who thinks there is too much chalk.
The principal's wife also knew about her man's troubles, so she was happy: "Juan'er, do you know how many boxes to donate?"
Principal Li frowned and said, "Why do you ask this? If someone has such a heart, I'll be happy even if they only give you a few sticks."
"It's quite a lot this time!" Lu Juan hurriedly said, "There should be eleven boxes. I think there might be more."
That child from the Shen family threw away more than a dozen yuan when he made a phone call, which was enough to buy more than 20 boxes of chalk. It seemed that he was not short of money, and he might make up a whole number.
"That's great." The headmaster's wife burst into laughter.
Principal Li also thinks it's a good thing. School hasn't started yet, and there will be more than a dozen boxes of chalk in reserve for the next semester. A class can divide half a box.
"Juan'er, thank you for making this trip, let's not talk about this matter outside, in case people have difficulties and don't want to donate, it will make a mess." After all, Principal Li thought more and warned.
"Hey, I know!" Lu Juan responded first, and then told her cousin and husband about the donors this time. She felt that the donation this time was not worth it!
This is something to say later, Shen Yu never imagined that a few words of chat with Hu Niu would spread so widely.
After leaving the post office, they went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. There are also some other shops in the town. The shops are usually their own houses facing the street, half of which are lived in and the other half are opened as shops.
There are also food and breakfast stalls, and there are more small stalls.
According to Huniu, there are small stalls selling buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, boiled eggs, and maltose at the school gate.
I was drooling as I talked, I don't know what I'm greedy for.
After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Yu fulfilled his promise: "Get whatever you want, I'll treat you."
Hu Niu cheered, and went straight to the candy counter, but was grabbed by Chen Yu's collar: "I won't buy you candy, did you forget to change your teeth?"
Hu Niu: "..." pouted.
"Why are you not moving?" Chen Yu urged Dong Sanlin, one of these two is too active, and the other stands still, it's really interesting.
"I don't want it." Dong Sanlin was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, how could he ask Chen Yu to buy him something with money.
"Must, I keep my word, are you not giving me face?"
Shen Yu's face darkened, frightened Dong Sanlin, and stammered: "No, no, I will give you face, face..."
"Then why are you still standing?" Chen Yu said fiercely.
The passing guests looked at them a few more times as if they were surprised, they had learned a lot, and there were also people who insisted on treating them to buy things.
Dong Sanlin dawdled to get a homework book: "I, I want this, can I..."
Chen Yu glanced at it, it was just an ordinary homework book.
"How much is this?" Chen Yu asked the salesperson.
"one cent."
Chen Yu: "..."
He turned his head and asked Dong Sanlin: "How many of our family are in school?"
Dong Sanlin calculated honestly: "Taoya from the second uncle's family, Zhuang Zhuang from the fourth uncle's family, Huniu, Xiaotao from brother Qingshan's family, and me, all gone."
Shen Zhuang is Huniu's elder brother, 11 years old, he went to visit relatives at his grandmother's house, as for why he didn't take Huniu with him, grandma didn't tell Chen Yu.
But listening to the old lady's voice, Chen Yu probably knew a little bit, it was just that Huniu's grandmother was patriarchal and liked her grandson more, and Huniu was in Shangkanzi Village as the queen, so she didn't take it easy.
The fourth uncle, Shen Anxing, was the one with the fewest brothers except Chen Yu's father, who had one son and one daughter. Not long after giving birth to Huniu, family planning became a basic national policy, and the control was so strict that he couldn't have children even if he wanted to.
In other words, there are five children in the Shen family who are currently studying.
Chen Yu glanced at it: "Do you all use this kind of exercise book?"
The salesperson saw that although Chen Yu's clothes were simple, they were very sleek, and he still had a watch on his wrist, so he hurriedly said: "We have better notebooks here, look at this one, this kind of hard-shell notebook is so majestic."
Chen Yu was unmoved, why use such a thick homework book, but it can be used as a notebook.
"Is it useful?"
Dong Sanlin almost shook his head: "No need!"
"Not taking notes?"
"Remember..." the voice was weak: "You can buy large paper and cut it yourself."
He also saw the big paper sinking fish he was talking about, the oldest piece of rough yellow paper, and he could still touch the straw stalks that were not ground inside.
This is cheap, and you can buy a very large one for two cents. Anyway, you don’t need to hand over the notebook to the teacher, you can use it if you cut it yourself and sew it with thread.
Some students from very poor families have homework made of this kind of paper.
Chen Yu's expression was indescribable, the family shouldn't be so poor, right?
Glancing at the young man with an embarrassed expression, Chen Yu understood a little bit, this child is cautious and cautious, he probably doesn't want to spend more money, and has been defrauding himself.
Chen Yu said, it's really unnecessary, he suspected that his father's carelessness didn't notice this problem at all.
"This homework book... let's take fifty books first." Five children, ten books for each person, one book for each subject, I don't know if it will be enough for a semester.
"How much?" The salesperson wanted to rub his ears.
"Fifty copies." Chen Yu repeated.
Dong Sanlin was in a hurry: "It won't take so much..."
"It's not for you alone." Chen Yu blocked him back with one sentence, he can block what he bought for him, but what can he say for others.
The salesman counted fifty homework books for him, and kindly tied them up with straw ropes. Chen Yu paid the money and handed them to Dong Sanlin: "Help me carry them."
It's really cheap, fifty homework books are only five yuan.
Dong Sanlin hurriedly hugged it in his arms, not daring to lift it, for fear that the rope would strangle the book.
After buying the book, I saw Hu Niu laying on the counter and staring at it eagerly. Chen Yu walked over, took a look, and was amused.
If you don't buy candy for her, the child will just stare at the dim sum seller.
"Want to eat?" Chen Yu laughed.
Huniu nodded obediently, looking very pitiful.
Chen Yu took a glance, there were not many snacks sold by the supply and marketing agency in the town, and it was midsummer again, this kind of food was not durable, and some of them didn't look too fresh.
The hawthorn slices may be new, but they look okay.
Chen Yu asked the salesperson to carry two catties of hawthorn slices, which were not too heavy on the scale, and a pack of two catties was very big, and Hu Niu happily took it.
"Is this enough?" Chen Yu asked.
Hu Niu nodded happily, how long can you eat such a big pack of hawthorn slices!
Chen Yu was angry and funny: "Can't you learn from San Linzi and buy some school supplies?"
Hu Niu rolled her eyes, pulled Chen Yu and left: "Brother, come here."
Chen Yu followed her, and was brought to the stationery counter. Hu Niu pointed to a box of plastic mechanical pencils and asked, "Can I have this?"
Ordinary pencils cost [-] cents each, and those with erasers cost [-] cents. This kind of mechanical pencil costs [-] cents, and you have to buy a refill, which costs [-] cents more.
There is a classmate in the class who has a mechanical pencil, but she is so arrogant that she only uses it a few times for whoever has a good relationship with her.
Chen Yu turned her head and asked Dong Sanlin who was silently serving as a small follower: "Do you want it?"
Dong Sanlin quickly shook his head and gave a very reasonable reason: "I write with a heavy hand, so I'm not used to it."
He heard from his classmates that this refill is easy to break, and he thinks about it, it is so thin.
"Choose two and bring one home for your elder sister Taoya." Chen Yu said.
"Okay!" Hu Niu happily picked out two mechanical pencils, and Chen Yu bought another ordinary pencil with eraser, spending [-] yuan, and stuffed them together for Dong Sanlin.
Dong Sanlin was already numb, he couldn't persuade Chen Yu, he could only be a little follower carrying things.
I bought all the homework books and pencils, and of course erasers. Chen Yu saw what Hu Niu introduced. Their most commonly used white strip erasers cost three cents each, and a box of 12 yuan.
Chen Yu bought ten better erasers that didn't drop residue, and two colored and patterned ones, and asked Hu Niu to choose one for Taoya.
Why don't others?Eccentric eyes chant, what color eraser do boys use.
Huniu laughed so happily that her eyes almost disappeared from the smile. She likes to go shopping with her brother Maoer the most. It's so rich!
"Is there anything else you want?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.
After buying so many things, a piece of Da Tuan was broken, and there were only a few cents left. Chen Yu's desire to buy was unprecedentedly strong.
This time Huniu shook her head with Dong Sanlin, she felt that she would be whipped when she went back, but it was worth it!
It's rare to come here, and I haven't spent ten yuan...
Chen Yu led them around, and found that Hu Niu had stopped for a few seconds at the counter for buying rubber bands, and asked curiously, "Do you want this?"
Hu Niu hurriedly said, "No, I just took a look."
have a look……
This thing is at the same counter as button sewing and other things. I saw someone bought it just now. It seems to be used for making trousers as elastic bands.
But Hu Niu definitely didn't want to use it as a trouser belt. The little girl wanted rubber bands, of course she wanted to play with rubber bands.
A girl who has a rubber band is as arrogant as a boy who has a basketball.
After buying so many school supplies, it's okay to buy some toys, Chen Yu generously asked the salesperson to cut off six meters of rubber bands, and Hu Niu and Taoya each had three meters, and they went home to share among themselves.
After buying toys for his sister, Chen Yu turned around and bought two cards.
It's not poker, but a two-finger-wide slender card. The locals, especially the elderly, like to play this kind of card, and they take it back for him to play with.
When I went to buy cards, I saw that there were handkerchiefs for sale. In later generations, all kinds of handkerchiefs emerged one after another. Almost no one used them anymore, but they are still very common now.
Chen Yu picked two pieces for Huniu, just opened her mouth, the little girl rushed to say: "I know, I will share one piece with Sister Taoya!"
Then I bought myself a piece of soap and a piece of soap, it was inconvenient to hold it directly in my hand, and there were such odds and ends as rubber pencils, Dong Sanlin's arms were full.
It's not heavy, but it's hard to hold and afraid of falling.
Chen Yu thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Do you want a new schoolbag?"
Dong Sanlin's expression twisted for a moment, and his voice became louder: "I don't want it!"
"I didn't ask you."
"I don't want it either." Hu Niu said loudly.
Chen Yu: "...Really don't want it?"
"No." Huniu hesitated for a moment, Chen Yu thought she regretted it, but the little girl asked in a low voice: "Do you still have money to buy chalk? If not, I don't need to buy my mechanical pencil and rubber band handkerchief..."
Still thinking about the eleven boxes of chalk.
Chen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but was also a little happy, and touched the little girl's head: "Don't worry, your brother is rich."
Hu Niu felt relieved: "That's good, let's go back quickly."
Now I go back and get beaten up, just in time to take advantage of the pain in my buttocks so I can't play and do my homework for a while, and then I can tell people to dance rubber bands!
Chen Yu went to pick out a military green handbag: "You don't want me to use it myself."
It's much more convenient to throw in everything I bought except the bundle of homework.
After buying the bag, Chen Yu finally walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Dong Sanlin heaved a sigh of relief, and finally came out.
Before he finished breathing, he heard Chen Yu happily say: "There is a popsicle seller!"
Dong Sanlin: "?"
"Eat popsicles? I invite you." As soon as the words fell, Chen Yu had already run over with Hu Niu, and Dong Sanlin had no choice but to follow quickly.
Salt water popsicles cost two cents, red bean paste costs five cents, and cream ice cream costs ten cents.
"What do you want to eat?" Chen Yu felt that the cream ice cream sold outside was too greasy, not as delicious as the one he made himself, so he took a mung bean.
Huniu licked her dry lips, after running so far in Daxia, she was indeed thirsty.
"I want this!" Picked the cheapest salt water popsicle.
"Don't want to try cream ice cream?" Chen Yu tempted.
Hu Niu curled her lips, it smelled delicious, why might she not want to eat it, and it's not because it's expensive, one ice cream can buy five popsicles!
"I'll buy you an ice cream, and you're not allowed to eat hawthorn slices today, okay?" Chen Yu asked.
This child is changing teeth. If she hadn't seen a place selling water, she wouldn't have bought ice cream for her. In fact, salt water popsicles are more thirst-quenching.
Huniu thought about it, if she buys hawthorn slices back, she won’t run away with long legs, and the cream ice cream may only have this chance!
"Okay, I don't eat hawthorn slices." Hu Niu was successfully led away by Shen Yu, forgetting that she originally wanted to buy salt water popsicles.
"Two cream ice creams." Chen Yu took out the money, and the popsicle seller happily took two ice creams and distributed them to Hu Niu and Dong Sanlin.
Expensive ice cream is not easy to sell. If you sell two sticks at a time, people are willing to say something nice: "My dear brother and sister, I will buy you the most expensive ice cream."
The ice cream was poked in front of him, Dong Sanlin was forced to take it, he was at a loss what to do: "Here, for you to eat..."
Chen Yu was admonishing Hu Niu who was tearing off the packaging in a hurry: "Don't bite with your teeth."
It should be less irritating to the teeth...
Huniu looked at him in surprise, who knows how to bite when eating popsicles, it would be too wasteful to take a few bites, so of course he licks and sips slowly.
Chen Yu finished biting his mung bean popsicles in two or three bites, and made Hu Niu look stupid, so this is how rich people eat popsicles!
"If you don't eat it, it will melt." Chen Yu refused to accept Dong Sanlin's ice cream.
But Dong Sanlin inexplicably insisted that the school supplies should be ignored. For him, cream ice cream worth ten cents a piece was really an unnecessary expense, and he couldn't afford it.
Chen Yu frowned: "Do you have to tell me so clearly? Huniu is my younger sister, and I spend money for her, so aren't you my younger brother?"
Dong Sanlin froze. After a while, he opened his mouth and spit out a few words in a dry and dry way: "Thank you...brother..."
"Eat it, don't eat any more realization."
Dong Sanlin lowered his head, hid some red eye sockets, stuffed the creamy ice cream he had never eaten before into his mouth, and the cold and sweet taste filled the whole mouth at once.
The ice cream did melt a little bit, and the milk-sweet ice cream melted in your mouth after a little sip.
"Brother Sanlin, the cream ice cream is really delicious, isn't it?" Hu Niu licked so much that the side of her mouth was covered with paste.
Dong Sanlin nodded silently, it was delicious, very delicious.
"Brother Sanlin, my cat brother is really nice, right?"
Dong Sanlin secretly glanced at the tall and tall young man next to him, and hummed lightly: "Yes."
In the future, he will listen to Brother Mao'er even more, and earn money for him when he grows up.
After Huniu finished eating the ice cream, she reluctantly licked the stick: "The ice cream is so delicious."
Chen Yu held his chin, stared at the ice cream seller on the other side of the street, and asked, "You said, cream ice cream is so delicious, have you ever eaten it?"
A bad premonition rose in Dong Sanlin's heart.
But Huniu didn't notice the meaning of his words at all, and said affirmatively: "I haven't eaten it, sometimes the popsicle sellers come to the village, only children buy popsicles, no adults can eat them."
"Oh……"
Ten minutes later, on the way back to Kanzi Village, the bag and homework were hung on the handlebars, and Dong Sanlin sat behind, holding a foam box with no expression on his face.
"Xiaofang, what are you looking at?" Sister Lu of the post office couldn't help asking when she saw her young colleague He Xiaofang staring at the gate after finishing her work.
He Xiaofang's expression was in a trance, as if something was on his mind, and he said vaguely: "It's nothing..."
A gay man carrying a postal bag and loading a letter said sourly, "Young people nowadays don't know the price of daily necessities if they are not in charge of their households. They don't have so much to talk about after making such long phone calls."
When he came in and pretended to be a letter, he was on the phone. He was almost done pretending, but this person was still calling.
Sister Lu rolled her eyes: "You don't care if people call or not, and it's useless of your money."
"Xiaofang, the young man just now is not from our local area. I have never seen or heard of a young man with such spirit." Sister Lu asked curiously.
He Xiaofang nodded and said, "The call is to the capital, and the accent doesn't sound like our locals."
Sister Lu smacked her lips and couldn't help saying again: "You are so handsome, I don't know whose relatives are."
He Xiaofang hesitated for a while, and after the sour-talking postman left, she went to Sister Lu and said mysteriously, "Sister Lu, I might know whose relative it is."
Sister Lu was stunned for a moment before realizing who she was talking about, and she was aroused curiosity: "Whose family? Do you know?"

Sister Lu was dumbfounded: "Really?"
Has she seen Fenghuang'er from the Shen family?

Sister Lu clapped her palms together: "Oh, I also think so when you say that. How can there be such a handsome young man in our rural area?"

Sister Lu regretted it a lot: "I knew I should have watched more."

"I've eaten, I've eaten, sister, don't be busy, I heard some good news today, and I'm here to tell my brother-in-law."
Principal Li is a thin middle-aged man. Hearing what his aunt said, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the good news?"
"Someone wants to donate chalk to your school!"
Principal Li laughed: "I met a kind-hearted person again."
It's really good news. Some of their school's teaching supplies, such as desks and benches, books, lesson plans, chalk, blackboard erasers, etc., will be allocated from above.
But it is impossible for these things to last forever, and it is difficult to apply for new ones if they are broken.

"It's quite a lot this time!" Lu Juan hurriedly said, "There should be eleven boxes. I think there might be more."
That child from the Shen family threw away more than a dozen yuan when he made a phone call, which was enough to buy more than 20 boxes of chalk. It seemed that he was not short of money, and he might make up a whole number.
"That's great." The headmaster's wife burst into laughter.
Principal Li also thinks it's a good thing. School hasn't started yet, and there will be more than a dozen boxes of chalk in reserve for the next semester. A class can divide half a box.
"Juan'er, thank you for making this trip, let's not talk about this matter outside, in case people have difficulties and don't want to donate, it will make a mess." After all, Principal Li thought more and warned.
"Hey, I know!" Lu Juan responded first, and then told her cousin and husband about the donors this time. She felt that the donation this time was not worth it!
This is something to say later, Shen Yu never imagined that a few words of chat with Hu Niu would spread so widely.
After leaving the post office, they went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. There are also some other shops in the town. The shops are usually their own houses facing the street, half of which are lived in and the other half are opened as shops.
There are also food and breakfast stalls, and there are more small stalls.
According to Huniu, there are small stalls selling buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, boiled eggs, and maltose at the school gate.
I was drooling as I talked, I don't know what I'm greedy for.
After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Yu fulfilled his promise: "Get whatever you want, I'll treat you."
Hu Niu cheered, and went straight to the candy counter, but was grabbed by Chen Yu's collar: "I won't buy you candy, did you forget to change your teeth?"
Hu Niu: "..." pouted.
"Why are you not moving?" Chen Yu urged Dong Sanlin, one of these two is too active, and the other stands still, it's really interesting.
"I don't want it." Dong Sanlin was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, how could he ask Chen Yu to buy him something with money.
"Must, I keep my word, are you not giving me face?"
Shen Yu's face darkened, frightened Dong Sanlin, and stammered: "No, no, I will give you face, face..."
"Then why are you still standing?" Chen Yu said fiercely.
The passing guests looked at them a few more times as if they were surprised, they had learned a lot, and there were also people who insisted on treating them to buy things.
Dong Sanlin dawdled to get a homework book: "I, I want this, can I..."
Chen Yu glanced at it, it was just an ordinary homework book.
"How much is this?" Chen Yu asked the salesperson.
"one cent."
Chen Yu: "..."
He turned his head and asked Dong Sanlin: "How many of our family are in school?"
Dong Sanlin calculated honestly: "Taoya from the second uncle's family, Zhuang Zhuang from the fourth uncle's family, Huniu, Xiaotao from brother Qingshan's family, and me, all gone."
Shen Zhuang is Huniu's elder brother, 11 years old, he went to visit relatives at his grandmother's house, as for why he didn't take Huniu with him, grandma didn't tell Chen Yu.
But listening to the old lady's voice, Chen Yu probably knew a little bit, it was just that Huniu's grandmother was patriarchal and liked her grandson more, and Huniu was in Shangkanzi Village as the queen, so she didn't take it easy.
The fourth uncle, Shen Anxing, was the one with the fewest brothers except Chen Yu's father, who had one son and one daughter. Not long after giving birth to Huniu, family planning became a basic national policy, and the control was so strict that he couldn't have children even if he wanted to.
In other words, there are five children in the Shen family who are currently studying.
Chen Yu glanced at it: "Do you all use this kind of exercise book?"
The salesperson saw that although Chen Yu's clothes were simple, they were very sleek, and he still had a watch on his wrist, so he hurriedly said: "We have better notebooks here, look at this one, this kind of hard-shell notebook is so majestic."
Chen Yu was unmoved, why use such a thick homework book, but it can be used as a notebook.
"Is it useful?"
Dong Sanlin almost shook his head: "No need!"
"Not taking notes?"
"Remember..." the voice was weak: "You can buy large paper and cut it yourself."
He also saw the big paper sinking fish he was talking about, the oldest piece of rough yellow paper, and he could still touch the straw stalks that were not ground inside.
This is cheap, and you can buy a very large one for two cents. Anyway, you don’t need to hand over the notebook to the teacher, you can use it if you cut it yourself and sew it with thread.
Some students from very poor families have homework made of this kind of paper.
Chen Yu's expression was indescribable, the family shouldn't be so poor, right?
Glancing at the young man with an embarrassed expression, Chen Yu understood a little bit, this child is cautious and cautious, he probably doesn't want to spend more money, and has been defrauding himself.
Chen Yu said, it's really unnecessary, he suspected that his father's carelessness didn't notice this problem at all.
"This homework book... let's take fifty books first." Five children, ten books for each person, one book for each subject, I don't know if it will be enough for a semester.
"How much?" The salesperson wanted to rub his ears.
"Fifty copies." Chen Yu repeated.
Dong Sanlin was in a hurry: "It won't take so much..."
"It's not for you alone." Chen Yu blocked him back with one sentence, he can block what he bought for him, but what can he say for others.
The salesman counted fifty homework books for him, and kindly tied them up with straw ropes. Chen Yu paid the money and handed them to Dong Sanlin: "Help me carry them."
It's really cheap, fifty homework books are only five yuan.
Dong Sanlin hurriedly hugged it in his arms, not daring to lift it, for fear that the rope would strangle the book.
After buying the book, I saw Hu Niu laying on the counter and staring at it eagerly. Chen Yu walked over, took a look, and was amused.
If you don't buy candy for her, the child will just stare at the dim sum seller.
"Want to eat?" Chen Yu laughed.
Huniu nodded obediently, looking very pitiful.
Chen Yu took a glance, there were not many snacks sold by the supply and marketing agency in the town, and it was midsummer again, this kind of food was not durable, and some of them didn't look too fresh.
The hawthorn slices may be new, but they look okay.
Chen Yu asked the salesperson to carry two catties of hawthorn slices, which were not too heavy on the scale, and a pack of two catties was very big, and Hu Niu happily took it.
"Is this enough?" Chen Yu asked.
Hu Niu nodded happily, how long can you eat such a big pack of hawthorn slices!
Chen Yu was angry and funny: "Can't you learn from San Linzi and buy some school supplies?"
Hu Niu rolled her eyes, pulled Chen Yu and left: "Brother, come here."
Chen Yu followed her, and was brought to the stationery counter. Hu Niu pointed to a box of plastic mechanical pencils and asked, "Can I have this?"
Ordinary pencils cost [-] cents each, and those with erasers cost [-] cents. This kind of mechanical pencil costs [-] cents, and you have to buy a refill, which costs [-] cents more.
There is a classmate in the class who has a mechanical pencil, but she is so arrogant that she only uses it a few times for whoever has a good relationship with her.
Chen Yu turned her head and asked Dong Sanlin who was silently serving as a small follower: "Do you want it?"
Dong Sanlin quickly shook his head and gave a very reasonable reason: "I write with a heavy hand, so I'm not used to it."
He heard from his classmates that this refill is easy to break, and he thinks about it, it is so thin.
"Choose two and bring one home for your elder sister Taoya." Chen Yu said.
"Okay!" Hu Niu happily picked out two mechanical pencils, and Chen Yu bought another ordinary pencil with eraser, spending [-] yuan, and stuffed them together for Dong Sanlin.
Dong Sanlin was already numb, he couldn't persuade Chen Yu, he could only be a little follower carrying things.
I bought all the homework books and pencils, and of course erasers. Chen Yu saw what Hu Niu introduced. Their most commonly used white strip erasers cost three cents each, and a box of 12 yuan.
Chen Yu bought ten better erasers that didn't drop residue, and two colored and patterned ones, and asked Hu Niu to choose one for Taoya.
Why don't others?Eccentric eyes chant, what color eraser do boys use.
Huniu laughed so happily that her eyes almost disappeared from the smile. She likes to go shopping with her brother Maoer the most. It's so rich!
"Is there anything else you want?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.
After buying so many things, a piece of Da Tuan was broken, and there were only a few cents left. Chen Yu's desire to buy was unprecedentedly strong.
This time Huniu shook her head with Dong Sanlin, she felt that she would be whipped when she went back, but it was worth it!
It's rare to come here, and I haven't spent ten yuan...
Chen Yu led them around, and found that Hu Niu had stopped for a few seconds at the counter for buying rubber bands, and asked curiously, "Do you want this?"
Hu Niu hurriedly said, "No, I just took a look."
have a look……
This thing is at the same counter as button sewing and other things. I saw someone bought it just now. It seems to be used for making trousers as elastic bands.
But Hu Niu definitely didn't want to use it as a trouser belt. The little girl wanted rubber bands, of course she wanted to play with rubber bands.
A girl who has a rubber band is as arrogant as a boy who has a basketball.
After buying so many school supplies, it's okay to buy some toys, Chen Yu generously asked the salesperson to cut off six meters of rubber bands, and Hu Niu and Taoya each had three meters, and they went home to share among themselves.
After buying toys for his sister, Chen Yu turned around and bought two cards.
It's not poker, but a two-finger-wide slender card. The locals, especially the elderly, like to play this kind of card, and they take it back for him to play with.
When I went to buy cards, I saw that there were handkerchiefs for sale. In later generations, all kinds of handkerchiefs emerged one after another. Almost no one used them anymore, but they are still very common now.
Chen Yu picked two pieces for Huniu, just opened her mouth, the little girl rushed to say: "I know, I will share one piece with Sister Taoya!"
Then I bought myself a piece of soap and a piece of soap, it was inconvenient to hold it directly in my hand, and there were such odds and ends as rubber pencils, Dong Sanlin's arms were full.
It's not heavy, but it's hard to hold and afraid of falling.
Chen Yu thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Do you want a new schoolbag?"
Dong Sanlin's expression twisted for a moment, and his voice became louder: "I don't want it!"
"I didn't ask you."
"I don't want it either." Hu Niu said loudly.
Chen Yu: "...Really don't want it?"
"No." Huniu hesitated for a moment, Chen Yu thought she regretted it, but the little girl asked in a low voice: "Do you still have money to buy chalk? If not, I don't need to buy my mechanical pencil and rubber band handkerchief..."
Still thinking about the eleven boxes of chalk.
Chen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but was also a little happy, and touched the little girl's head: "Don't worry, your brother is rich."
Hu Niu felt relieved: "That's good, let's go back quickly."
Now I go back and get beaten up, just in time to take advantage of the pain in my buttocks so I can't play and do my homework for a while, and then I can tell people to dance rubber bands!
Chen Yu went to pick out a military green handbag: "You don't want me to use it myself."
It's much more convenient to throw in everything I bought except the bundle of homework.
After buying the bag, Chen Yu finally walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Dong Sanlin heaved a sigh of relief, and finally came out.
Before he finished breathing, he heard Chen Yu happily say: "There is a popsicle seller!"
Dong Sanlin: "?"
"Eat popsicles? I invite you." As soon as the words fell, Chen Yu had already run over with Hu Niu, and Dong Sanlin had no choice but to follow quickly.
Salt water popsicles cost two cents, red bean paste costs five cents, and cream ice cream costs ten cents.
"What do you want to eat?" Chen Yu felt that the cream ice cream sold outside was too greasy, not as delicious as the one he made himself, so he took a mung bean.
Huniu licked her dry lips, after running so far in Daxia, she was indeed thirsty.
"I want this!" Picked the cheapest salt water popsicle.
"Don't want to try cream ice cream?" Chen Yu tempted.
Hu Niu curled her lips, it smelled delicious, why might she not want to eat it, and it's not because it's expensive, one ice cream can buy five popsicles!
"I'll buy you an ice cream, and you're not allowed to eat hawthorn slices today, okay?" Chen Yu asked.
This child is changing teeth. If she hadn't seen a place selling water, she wouldn't have bought ice cream for her. In fact, salt water popsicles are more thirst-quenching.
Huniu thought about it, if she buys hawthorn slices back, she won’t run away with long legs, and the cream ice cream may only have this chance!
"Okay, I don't eat hawthorn slices." Hu Niu was successfully led away by Shen Yu, forgetting that she originally wanted to buy salt water popsicles.
"Two cream ice creams." Chen Yu took out the money, and the popsicle seller happily took two ice creams and distributed them to Hu Niu and Dong Sanlin.
Expensive ice cream is not easy to sell. If you sell two sticks at a time, people are willing to say something nice: "My dear brother and sister, I will buy you the most expensive ice cream."
The ice cream was poked in front of him, Dong Sanlin was forced to take it, he was at a loss what to do: "Here, for you to eat..."
Chen Yu was admonishing Hu Niu who was tearing off the packaging in a hurry: "Don't bite with your teeth."
It should be less irritating to the teeth...
Huniu looked at him in surprise, who knows how to bite when eating popsicles, it would be too wasteful to take a few bites, so of course he licks and sips slowly.
Chen Yu finished biting his mung bean popsicles in two or three bites, and made Hu Niu look stupid, so this is how rich people eat popsicles!
"If you don't eat it, it will melt." Chen Yu refused to accept Dong Sanlin's ice cream.
But Dong Sanlin inexplicably insisted that the school supplies should be ignored. For him, cream ice cream worth ten cents a piece was really an unnecessary expense, and he couldn't afford it.
Chen Yu frowned: "Do you have to tell me so clearly? Huniu is my younger sister, and I spend money for her, so aren't you my younger brother?"
Dong Sanlin froze. After a while, he opened his mouth and spit out a few words in a dry and dry way: "Thank you...brother..."
"Eat it, don't eat any more realization."
Dong Sanlin lowered his head, hid some red eye sockets, stuffed the creamy ice cream he had never eaten before into his mouth, and the cold and sweet taste filled the whole mouth at once.
The ice cream did melt a little bit, and the milk-sweet ice cream melted in your mouth after a little sip.
"Brother Sanlin, the cream ice cream is really delicious, isn't it?" Hu Niu licked so much that the side of her mouth was covered with paste.
Dong Sanlin nodded silently, it was delicious, very delicious.
"Brother Sanlin, my cat brother is really nice, right?"
Dong Sanlin secretly glanced at the tall and tall young man next to him, and hummed lightly: "Yes."
In the future, he will listen to Brother Mao'er even more, and earn money for him when he grows up.
After Huniu finished eating the ice cream, she reluctantly licked the stick: "The ice cream is so delicious."
Chen Yu held his chin, stared at the ice cream seller on the other side of the street, and asked, "You said, cream ice cream is so delicious, have you ever eaten it?"
A bad premonition rose in Dong Sanlin's heart.
But Huniu didn't notice the meaning of his words at all, and said affirmatively: "I haven't eaten it, sometimes the popsicle sellers come to the village, only children buy popsicles, no adults can eat them."
"Oh……"
Ten minutes later, on the way back to Kanzi Village, the bag and homework were hung on the handlebars, and Dong Sanlin sat behind, holding a foam box with no expression on his face.
