Chapter 37 Shooting oneself in the foot
Chen Miaomiao was reluctant to spare the money to buy a piece of soap, so she could buy as many pieces as she wanted...
Chen Miaomiao originally wanted to indirectly Tell Lu Miao that she is also willing to use whatever Lu Miao is willing to use. , but now...
"I still have unused ones, so I can't use that much. I'll just take a piece first."
I'm not willing to lose my place like this, Chen Miaomiao smiled at the salesperson and pretended to be calm, lowering her head to take the money.
She could afford the money for a box of soap, but she didn't have the soap tickets.
After pretending to be someone and looking around, Chen Miaomiao said, "I'm in a hurry today and I didn't bring my soap ticket. I think I'd better forget about this soap."
Chen Miaomiao Trying to push the soap back, Lu Miao held her hand down and changed her usual domineering attitude. She was coquettish and coquettish, her voice was soft and sweet, "No, Miaomiao, just take a box if you want! I'll lend you the tickets first."
Chen Miaomiao calculated in her mind that the tickets are so rare. , Lu Miao had five boxes in one breath, and she didn’t believe that Lu Miao could still come up with the sixth soap ticket.
And maybe Lu Miao gave away five boxes of soap just to show off his prestige. It would be incredible to be able to buy two boxes for two!
Thinking of this, Chen Miaomiao suppressed her worries, glanced at the five boxes of soap that the salesperson had just brought, and said in a slow and embarrassed voice:
"Isn't this not good? What if I delayed your shopping? , I will feel very sorry..."
Lu Miao snorted coldly: Pretend, keep pretending.
Don’t you love learning?
Didn’t she just ask for whatever she bought?
If she didn't let Chen Miaomiao taste what it means to shoot herself in the foot today, her surname would not be Lu!
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if I buy one less box. Who will follow whom? And when I say I have a ticket, I really have a ticket. My family just sent it to me today."
Lu Miao pretended to be coquettish and quickly took out a handful of colorful bills from her pocket. Some of them were large and unnoticeable.
At that moment, the expression on Chen Miaomiao's face that was typical of a timid little Baihua suddenly became unbearable. After a sudden twitch, her face suddenly turned cold.
Lu Miao didn't care about her, he just gave her the soap ticket and said to the salesperson:
"Kind it for her first. I have a lot to buy, so I'll take my time later."
Chen Miaomiao was so cheerful just now, the salesperson nodded and took the soap directly from Chen Miaomiao's hand without thinking too much. He handed the soap box back and gave him the three cents in change.
"Miaomiao, did you buy all these?" Ren Bingxin came over after buying the things, and immediately pushed Chen Miaomiao aside, "Why did you buy so much soap?"
Chen Miaomiao staggered for a moment, then stood up and looked at the soap in her hand, her heart bleeding.
At this moment, Lu Miao suddenly said lazily:
"Of course I bought it for use, one for bathing, one for washing clothes, one for washing hands, and the others as spares."
Ren Bingxin sighed and said: "You are exaggerating, it's better to share one." Well? A piece of soap can last a long time..."
Lu Miao didn't take it seriously, "It's okay, let's buy it first. We can't go out often."
Ren Bingxin nodded, "That's true."
Lu Miao's tone Relaxed, as if you don’t care how much you spend on soap!
Chen Miaomiao was so angry that her hands shook.
Lu Miao doesn’t care about money, but she does! Her money...
She didn’t want to buy it! It was Lu Miao who forced her!
Chen Miaomiao didn't even understand that Lu Miao could still be so calm even though he had tricked her in front of so many people. Why, why?
Chen Miaomiao was so angry that her teeth itched with hatred, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of so many people.
Putting away the soap, Chen Miaomiao gave Lu Miao a hard look.
Lu Miao's back was turned to Chen Miaomiao when he was communicating with the salesperson, so he didn't see it. Ren Bingxin tilted her head and scratched the itch. Ren Bingxin saw the shadow in Chen Miaomiao's eyes clearly, "Chen Miaomiao, what's that look in your eyes?" ?”
"Huh?" Chen Miaomiao waved her hands timidly and innocently, "I, I don't, I don't have any eyes..."
Lu Miao turned around after hearing the sound, saw Chen Miaomiao's expression clearly, and probably guessed Find out what's going on.
She laughed contemptuously and pulled Ren Bingxin around, "Leave her alone and help me take a look first. I have two snack tickets that are about to expire. Is it better to buy this Cuban candy or this chicken cake?"
Tickets are scarce and rare, and there are even fewer ways to obtain them.
Such as dim sum tickets and industrial vouchers. No one in the family works in a state-owned enterprise, so usually we only get voucher resources in this area.
Of course there are exceptions, such as the black market hidden on the corner of the street.
The policy of the times means that there is no room for the black market in the market, but even if there is strict investigation and crackdown everywhere, it cannot withstand the rich resources in the black market.
Some people want to buy, and some want to sell. Even if they take great risks, there will only be more people flocking to it.
In this era of poverty, people are reluctant to be extravagant and wasteful, and it is difficult not to be thrifty.
Ren Bingxin is like this.
She comes from an average family, and because she and her brother are the only two children at home, her parents can provide food and accommodation, and she is well-dressed, so she seems to be in good condition among the educated youths who have gone to the countryside. not bad.
Resources are precious. Ren Bingxin deliberately looked at the two dim sum coupons. It was true that what Lu Miao said was true, so she calmed down and suggested:
"What do you like to eat? Cuban sugar can last longer. Don't buy too many chicken cakes. Eat them as soon as you buy them. Children are born in the south, otherwise they will easily get moldy."
Lu Miao nodded. , listen to her words.
After asking the salesperson, he learned that with one ticket he could buy half a catty of each. Lu Miao ordered both without hesitation.
Having never eaten chicken cakes or Cuban candies before, she really wanted to try them.
The salesperson took out the oil paper to pack. Lu Miao looked around and used another dim sum ticket to buy a pound of White Rabbit toffee. He remembered that he heard Gu Ying and the others chatting before, saying that Tiger Balm can relieve itching and prevent mosquito bites. She didn’t forget to ask the salesperson to get it for her.
There is also toilet paper. The toilet paper at this time is actually that kind of rough straw paper. Lu Miao has no choice but to reject it. He can't find anything better at the moment, so he can only convince himself to accept it.
Lin Lin bought it all at once, using several tickets and spending almost ten yuan. When Lu Miao stopped, the big bamboo basket Geng Xiaoyun carried on his back was already filled to the brim.
The bottom layer of the box is Geng Xiaoyun's own things, and the ones stacked on top are Lu Miao's.
Lu Miao bought a lot of things, but they hardly accounted for the weight. In addition, she did not like to take advantage of others. After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Ying covered the sun with her hands and suggested that everyone go to the state-owned hotel first. When lunch was settled, she said she wanted to treat her to dinner.
Lu Miao does not take advantage of others, but it does not mean that she is taken advantage of. She invites everyone to dinner. She mainly invites Gu Ying, Geng Xiaoyun and Ren Bingxin. These three usually take good care of her.
It's just that it's inevitable that some people will not realize it and insist on getting in front of her.
