The No. 2 courtyard of the San'er Hutong was also involved in a big buying trend.
All the households in the hospital and are all ordinary people who can live on earth. This is too natural and inevitable.
In fact, since Aunt Mi works in a side dish, their courtyard became the first courtyard to notice this social change in the surrounding streets and immediately take action.
For example, on November 1, 1979, the sales prices of eight major non-staple foods, including pigs, poultry, eggs, aquatic products, and vegetables were raised. This was when Aunt Mi took advantage of her position and knew that she had left a lot of goods for the whole hospital, making great contributions to everyone.
And don’t forget that there is also an aunt Bian in this courtyard who can handle things.
The old lady is still in charge of the street affairs and is also in charge of Ning Weimin's wholesale of clothing and products.
It is normal to contact those people in society every day and find out in advance that something is wrong.
The news of the big price reduction of chemical fiber cloth in 1983 was brought to everyone by Aunt Bian.
Furthermore, the most important thing is that both Aunt Mi and Aunt Bian are women.
What are the characteristics of women?
It's just about living at home.
As long as this happens, every family will definitely communicate with each other.
So whoever can fail, it is impossible for them to fail.
For example, on August 17th, it was Wednesday, which was the day when the rush to buy was just around the corner, and it was ten o'clock in the morning.
Aunt Bian was abnormal and rushed back in a flatbed cart.
Moreover, not only did she come back, but she also pulled a truck of goods.
I immediately directed the young man from another place who was riding a flatbed to help her move things to her home.
The things on the car were stacked high, all of which were wool, cotton wool pants and fabric.
While helping to carry things, the pedal was curious, "Why did your old lady buy so much white cloth?"
Aunt Bian was too lazy to say more to him, "Don't you do it, save it."
The pedaler said, "Don't say it, there are so many new things today. Guess what? Before I pulled you, I pulled a buyer who bought a quilt. As soon as they bought it, they bought twenty shops. They also bought many boxes of soap. Why did you discuss it with me? You all bought things like this..."
Aunt Bian was not convinced, "Twenty quilts, what's the point of a few boxes of soap? I'll buy them later. These are just the first batch."
The pedaler listened to the freshness and planned to ask again, but she didn't expect that Aunt Bian had no time to grind his teeth and pointed out where to place the goods.
The old lady rushed straight to her house, picked up the cold white-haired house and blew up the first time, and then greeted Mr. Bian, who was playing with flowers and grass at the door.
"Hey, old man, you still have the time to play with your broken flower. Do you know what it is like outside? It's amazing!
Aunt Bian's exaggerated expression and tone made Mr. Bian confused.
"Oh, look at you're so fussy. As soon as you come back, I'm yelling, my head is so big. What's wrong? Did you see Jia Bolin under the Qianmen Building, or were you picking up gold ingots on Dashilan Street?"
(Note: Jia Bolin is Chaplin, the name in the mainland during the Republic of China period.)
Aunt Bian curled her lips and was particularly dissatisfied with her husband's jokes.
"Oh, what's up with it. I'm telling you seriously. I heard that it's been rumored outside, saying that starting from September 1st, prices will rise across the board.
"It is impossible to rise in all respects." Mr. Bian didn't believe it at all. He also curled his lips and competed with the flowers and plants again.
Seeing that my wife was unmoved, the aunt below was really anxious.
"Oh, why do I say to you? You don't know anything at home all day long, you just know how to drink, grow flowers, and listen to opera and fish. What else do you know? I said you go out and have a look. The outside is full of people, and the shops are crowded with people. People are like crazy, robbing whatever they see. Hurry up, give me your passbook at home."
"What do you want to do for your passbook?"
"There are long queues in the bank. If you are late, you can't get it out. Hurry up."
"Hey, I said you're crazy! The family finally saved some money. Don't you say you can keep it for our eldest grandson? You have to take out all of this? The appliances are now complete, such as refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines. What do you want to buy!"
"What do you know, you old man? Your money is getting bigger every day. If the money is really bad, it is not as good as waste paper. It is better to buy something casually than putting it on the bank. It can keep the value of things, how much money can be worth? Besides, Aunt Mi is still guarding the whole courtyard in the side dish store. I heard that there are twenty ribs, twelve boxes of cans, pots and pans, a few boxes of eggs, half a jar of sweet noodles sauce, and a bag of salt. I also got a lot of fabrics from the wholesale department, and there are more than fifty cotton wool pants. Looking back, our entire courtyard is divided into pieces, and each family will not have to worry about food and clothing..."
"Hey, I said, who said the RMB was going to depreciate? Where did this come from? You are a member of the neighborhood committee and see others clamoring for the fight. You should take care of them. You can't believe it easily, let alone spread it..."
"Hey, I'm too lazy to tell you, you might as well go out and have a look. The banks of all sizes are crowded with people, and they are withdrawing money. You old man, you're so confused..."
I didn't have time to grind my teeth with Uncle Bian anymore. My aunt Bian drank enough water when she was tired of talking. She simply went into the house to get her passbook. She ignored her wife at all, but turned around and went to the Luo family at the gate of the yard.
At this time, the pedaler had already placed everything in front of the Luo family according to her assignment.
Aunt Bian thanked her a few times, took out five dollars to pay the car money, and sent the pedaler away.
Master Luo and Aunt Luo looked at Jing'er but couldn't help but be stunned.
"I said, auntie, are these things you bought?"
"Oh, there's too much! You're moving all the stores back. Where is this going?"
Seeing the Luo family's mother-in-law and mother-in-law look confused, Aunt Bian smiled.
"I'll be relieved if I really move the store back. Don't you know? There's a price increase outside, and people are going crazy. The shops are crowded, and they line up when they see the team, and buy things when they see them. They're all good for the Spring Festival temple fair. I got these from the wholesale department and distributed them to our entire courtyard. Isn't this a bit of convenience in this regard? Oh, I'm so tired. Alas, this towel and these cotton wool pants are enough for our entire courtyard to work for a few years, and we don't have to go to the store anymore. It doesn't matter if you don't have money at the moment, give the things first and then the money. Whoever makes us all old neighbors..."
"Yes, but there are too many. When will you use up so many towels..."
"That's right, these cotton wool pants are so good that there are dozens of them..."
"Please use it slowly, by the way, I forgot to tell you. This is nothing. The most important materials are all in the side food restaurant, and Aunt Mi also watches the goods for our yard. We have food and drink. We still benefit from her, just like in the 1979. However, she has no room for reconciliation, and the public has to use cash. So I took out my passbook. Is your family's cash enough? Do you want to get some at the bank? Let's go together later?"
Master Luo and Aunt Luo looked at each other and were also a little moved.
"The family only has more than one hundred yuan in cash, right? Otherwise, let's withdraw the money too."
"Well, take it. How much is appropriate?" Aunt Luo couldn't help but ask Aunt Bian, "My aunt, how much is enough to withdraw? Is one thousand enough? Isn't it worth two thousand?"
"Oh, I can't say this." Aunt Bian shook her head, "Anyway, my family has more than 8,000 yuan in three notes, so I plan to take them out."
"Take it all out?" Master Luo's couple was startled. "His aunt, have you withdrawn so much money? Are you just living here? Do you really have to move the store?"
"Look at what you said, I took it out because I had to live."
Aunt Bian has her own reason and said with a striking remark, "I'll tell you this, the price increase is because everyone has heard that all the prices of goods will be relaxed next month. Do you think, if merchants want to set prices themselves, they are not determined? So now everyone is buying things that can be saved to maintain their value. Don't look at the many towels, it won't break. There are also these wools, and the sweaters knitted after thirty years are also new. Is this the reason?"
Master Luo and his wife looked at each other again, and were really moved before they knew it.
"Yes, let's go to the bank to withdraw money and then grab the goods. It's too late and I can't grab anything."
"What are you going to grab?"
"What can't you rob? His aunt is right. As long as you buy something, you can keep your value. Anyway, we can't look at the money..."
Seeing that the old couple of the Luo family could have such awareness, Aunt Bian was also very pleased to see that they were both very advised.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Don't worry, just listen to me. You can buy whatever I buy at that time. You must buy with me. Ah, by the way, you have to call Guangliang. He not only has cash, but also has a car, so he has to drive back quickly."
"Oh, is this necessary? His aunt, the child has been doing a lot recently and is very busy. Otherwise, can we hire a car to get it back?"
Aunt Luo is a mother who is afraid of delaying the child’s serious affairs, but Aunt Bian doesn’t care about this.
"What else is more important than price increase? If it were anything else, it would be fine. I am worried about food now. You said that there are so many people in our courtyard, so we should not get a thousand kilograms of rice or a thousand kilograms of white flour. Otherwise, it would be enough for us to eat. I would feel at ease if I asked your third brother to do this...
As he was talking, he called a few people from outside and heard these words, and someone just stumbled on it.
"Oh, aunt, I think you are really confused. You are so good. If you want to buy so many rice noodles, you really want to buy them. Where can you put them? You are not full of insects in the yard."
When Aunt Bian saw it, she said, "Okay, it turned out to be the second girl of the Mi family, Mi Xiaoran's sister Mi Xiaohui."
There are two girls of her age around her, and you can tell at a glance that they should be her better classmates.
This is a summer vacation and I come to visit my home.
The old lady had no time to argue with the little maid, so she quickly told the serious things, saying that Aunt Mi also asked her to bring a message to the Mi family and asked Master Mi to withdraw money from her family's passbook.
Unexpectedly, Mi Xiaohui had an idea.
Besides, she is already old and has a good study. This year she is a fresh graduate of the college entrance examination and is waiting for the admission letter at home.
So after hearing what Aunt Bian said, Mi Xiaohui refused to do it. Instead, she said that when the price was reduced in the first two years, Aunt Mi bought chemical fiber cloth and soap, and she should have learned a lesson.
And now there is not much money at home.
In addition to having to support his college entrance examination at home, even his American nephew has to spend money.
I didn’t have spare money at home to hoard useless things, so I stopped interfering with it and actually pushed the matter here.
But where is it possible to do this?
Not to mention anything else, just say that the whole courtyard is worth Aunt Mi’s treasure and has the goods to buy. What’s the point of putting someone down?
Aunt Bian didn't dare to let her down, so she started blaming Mi Xiaohui for being disobedient and asked her to do business quickly.
Mi Xiaohui said that her mother did this purely a blind rush to buy, without any financial acumen, and did not think about whether it would be useful to buy these.
Of course, Aunt Bian still said the same thing, "You young people don't understand, just keep your value."
Unexpectedly, this sentence worked for my wife and old neighbors. It became useless to deal with Mi Xiaohui, a contemporary young man who has thoughts, his own judgment ability, and his personality.
It was okay if it didn't even say it, but it aroused the common disgust of Mi Xiaohui and even her two classmates, and thus triggered a debate that was argued.
A female classmate said, "What is value preservation? You understand this word first before speaking. At the beginning of the market economy, you can't bear it before you can't bear it. This is just the beginning, just making a fuss. Will you still survive in the future? Ignorance, too ignorant!"
Aunt Bian can't block the little girl, so she refutes immediately.
"What do you kids know? They are still ignorant. This is common sense. Go back and ask your parents. If the country does not limit the price, then soy sauce is less than ten yuan per pound? Whoever sells things will cost as much as they want. It's messy!"
Another female classmate said, "The country does not restrict the market, economic laws can limit the market. If no one buys soy sauce that costs ten yuan per pound, it will not cost one yuan per pound."
Well, now, Aunt Bian said that she had no words.
However, Aunt Luo said at a critical moment, "It's better to save some money, and to save some money. Anyway, I'm afraid of being poor."
Who would have thought that at this time, the eldest grandson of the Luo family and the eldest grandson of the Bian family came out from somewhere.
They are good friends, one cake, and the two of them eat together, but they are all messy as they eat.
They are only one year apart, one is seven years old and the other is six years old. They are a little sensible and still confused when they say they are ignorant.
The eldest grandson of the Bian family was a dog who couldn't spit out ivory from his mouth. When he saw the goods at the door of the Luo family, he was amazed at it.
"My God, why are there so many white cloths here? How can I use this? Could it be for funerals, one filial son and grandson are all white, just like the one played in a movie..."
The eldest grandson of the Luo family is even more amazing, "Take it down. Are you stupid or not? Who uses this to hold a funeral now? That's called feudal dregs, which have been eliminated long ago. Now, if you only need to tie a half-foot of black cloth to your arm, you can wear it for a long time and throw it away. That's still a filial piety..."
It is said that children are free to speak, but at this moment, Aunt Bian’s fire is really uncontrollable.
The old lady was annoyed for the two children.
"Look at me, I won't beat you little bastards! Some of them can't block your mouth even if they eat, so get out of here!" (The end of this chapter)
