Chapter 146 I will overcome
The second floor is different from the first floor.
Most of the people standing at the counter on the first floor were lesbians, and the things they bought were relatively scattered.
The people at the counter on the second floor are all gay men, and the handles and utensils they sell are more focused on construction.
Three turns and one ring needed for marriage: new car, sewing machine, radio, watch, etc.
There is also a period-specific big-butt TV set.
Fu Jingyou knew his current strength. He did not go over to look at the TV. He only asked the gay man buying ready-made clothes:
"What material is this? It looks very warm. Why?" For sale?”
“Hey, good vision. Ah, comrade. This batch of material just came from Shanghai by big ship half a month ago. It’s called cashmere. It’s warm!”
Fu Jingyou was dressed simply, and the male salesperson at the counter didn’t look down on him. Normally, introduce to him enthusiastically:
"It's going to get cold soon. Use this material to make clothes. It's just right!"
"Then how do you sell this material? Can you let me touch it?"
"This material is not good. It’s cheap, only one dollar and fifty cents per foot. Comrade, think about it. If you really want to buy it, I will pick out a dark one and show it to you.”
One dollar and fifty cents per foot, The price is really not cheap.
The price of two feet is enough to buy five feet of the above-mentioned cotton cloth.
Fu Jingyou thought for a moment, silently calculated the remaining money in his pocket, and nodded seriously:
"Excuse me, comrade, please take it off and let me see!"
The male salesperson smiled "Hey" After making a sound, he took out two pieces of cashmere fabric, one camel and one black, and showed them to Fu Jingyou.
They were all married to wives. When the male salesman saw Fu Jingyou’s dress, he knew that he was definitely not buying it for himself, so he said:
“Comrade, I won’t hide it from you. , cashmere fabric is very warm, but it also needs to be carefully taken care of. We villagers can’t wear white colors, so you can buy any of these two colors for your wife, that’s right!”
Fu Jingyou touched the cashmere fabric and agreed from the bottom of her heart.
It is such a soft material that you feel warm the moment you put it on your palm.
Fu Jingyou couldn't put it down and wanted to buy it for Lu Miao. He believed whatever the male salesperson said:
"Yes, how many feet does it take to make a dress of this material? According to the girl's In terms of body size?”
“The width of this material is one and a half meters. According to the girl’s physique, there should be some left over to make a gown.”
Fu Jingyou nodded thoughtfully and took a fancy to the military coat on the shelf.
He pointed and asked: "How do you sell that military coat?"
The male salesperson held a homemade clothes support pole and tremblingly took off the military coat and showed it to him.
“This weighs eight pounds, and it’s actually stuffed with cotton. Not to mention us in the south, many families in the north who have the conditions rely on this to survive the winter! Comrade, feel it and see...”
When Fu Jingyou touched the military coat, the male salesperson smiled and said:
"But this is really not cheap. This one costs one hundred and thirty yuan, plus a foreign exchange coupon."
One hundred and thirty...
Fu Jingyou's eyes dimmed. For a moment, I can’t take it out for the time being.
The male salesperson saw his embarrassment and smiled casually:
"It's okay, I can't afford it either..."
It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it, we can enjoy the good things together, right?
“No one in a small place like ours can afford it, but having said that, if you touch it, it’s really a good thing! You can even use it as a quilt when you take it home at night!”< br>
Fu Jingyou smiled and nodded.
One hundred and thirty yuan...
He can't get it now, but if he works hard, he might be able to get it.
Such a big piece is so big and thick that it can almost cover his calf when he wears it.
If Lu Miao wears it, he can wrap up his whole body in winter.
“Are there many military coats like this?”
“Not many, as far as I know, there are only two in our county.”
Although the small place is poor, But is it possible that there are people who hide their wealth and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy good things?
There were only two sets of military coats in the entire county. For various reasons, Fu Jingyou was too embarrassed to ask anyone to keep them. Returning the military coat, Fu Jingyou patted the neglected cashmere material and said:
"I'll take the six-foot one first."
The six-foot cashmere cloth costs nine Yuan, plus an additional six feet of cloth stamps, is no longer a small amount.
The male salesperson smiled sincerely and neatly gave him the best materials, rolled them up and folded them together.
There was Fu Jingyou's snakeskin bag on the counter. He packed the fabric in the snakeskin bag and gave it directly to Fu Jingyou.
"Comrade, walk slowly, come back next time if you need it!"
"Thank you!"
Fu Jingyou left with large and small bags, all the money on him was gone, There was only two cents left in my pocket.
He bought two dry biscuits for four cents at the county state-owned restaurant and ate them while walking.
Fu Jingyou always borrowed the team leader's bicycle before going out, and Fu Jingyou was a little embarrassed.
This time I got up early and walked here. I bought all my things at noon and started to turn back. After more than 30 kilometers of journey, it was completely dark when I got home.
The curtains in the room on the left side of the house are closed, and there is still a vague light. Lu Miao is not asleep yet.
Fu Jingyou stood outside the door and called: "Daughter-in-law, I'm back."
There was a sudden noise outside the door, and Lu Miao inside the room was startled.
Recognizing Fu Jingyou's low and hoarse voice, she blushed slightly and came out with a light to open the door:
"Why are you screaming like that all of a sudden?"
"What is it?"
< br>“I’m just a daughter-in-law and so on...don’t be ashamed!”
Lu Miao can still accept calling her Lu Miao or Miaomiao.
Being called daughter-in-law by Fu Jingyou, Lu Miao felt inexplicably shy for some reason.
Fu Jingyou smiled teasingly: "But it's not wrong."
Lu Miao whispered "hum" and opened the door wide.
When Fu Jingyou walked into the main room, she realized that he had brought a lot of things with him, and she quickly put down the kerosene lamp and went up to pick it up.
“Why did you buy so many things?”
"They will all be used."
Fu Jingyou staggered slightly to avoid Lu Miao's hand, and directly carried the things to the room.
Lu Miao picked up the lamp again and followed him into the room.
The room is twenty square meters. In addition to the bed, there is a long counter at the end of the bed, and under the wall close to the window, there is a long cabinet table that is similar in appearance to a computer table.
There are not many things, it looks empty, and the room looks bigger.
Fu Jingyou put the things on the long table by the window and asked casually:
"What did you do at home today?"
"Nothing else, I learned how to cook with my aunt... ...I found out that my aunt was raising silkworms, so I brought some cocoons with her to play with."
Lu Miao set up the lamp and took out a few swollen balls and handed them to him.
“I said I also wanted to raise silkworms, but my aunt said I couldn’t raise them this year and would have to wait until March or April. She asked me to fumble around and extract the silk from these cocoons first.”
< br>
Fu Jingyou paused and turned to look at her:
"Have you seen silkworms?"
"...Yes."
I have never seen real silkworms. But I've seen it on TV before.
Fu Jingyou asked: "Aren't you afraid of soft bugs?"
Lu Miao pouted slightly, "I will try to overcome it!"
