Chapter 410 New Changes
Similar to the situation of the Luo family, there is the Mi family.
In the harmonious dusk of the small courtyard, there are scattered firecrackers.
The old couple of the Mi family were also in the brightly lit room, turning on the TV, waiting for people at the dinner table, and bickering.
But the discord between them has nothing to do with the big color TV or the marriage of their children.
The main focus of the conflict is still the chemical fiber cloths that Aunt Mi brought back as babies years ago.
"Tell me, what did you do? It was so cold outside on New Year's Day, so I had to send my child to run to the Peace Arch. And let her hold so many chemical fiber cloths. It’s already dark, and the child hasn’t come back yet? Are you a mother?”
Master Mi walked around the room like a mill, looking at the sky outside from time to time.
He actually just came back from get off work and was already hungry.
I thought about going in and washing my hands and face, then having New Year’s Eve dinner and having a good New Year with my family.
But I never expected that my daughter Mi Xiaohui was not at home.
As soon as I inquired about it, I found out that it was because a person from the food station of a non-staple food store called Aunt Mi in the afternoon and said that he wanted to buy some chemical fiber cloth from her and take it to relatives on New Year's Day.
Aunt Mi was greedy for this business and immediately sent her daughter Mi Xiaohui to deliver cloth to others.
Can Master Mi feel happy?
My good New Year spirits were all ruined, and I had to worry about my fourteen-year-old daughter.
"Why am I not worried? I want to go by myself, but can I walk away? I cannot do anything at home without me. What if I don't send Xiaohui to run errands for me? Are you still pointing fingers? ? Tsk!”
Aunt Mi didn’t give in, she also frowned and responded angrily.
However, my hands are still busy. At this time, I am still sorting out the small mountains of chemical fiber cloth in the corner of the room.
Red, purple, green, gray. Black, blue...
This naturally made Master Mi more and more angry.
"What else should I do? You shouldn't have bought such old cloth! You spent a thousand yuan to buy cloth, how long will you have to use it? My uncle left you some money, so you are allowed to mess up like this? Quite cool As for the older people, they are still immature. Why do you go out to buy something? You are so stupid that you have become a spirit!"
To tell the truth, Master Mi always regrets it now. .
I regret that I should not have sought peace in the first place and let Aunt Mi do whatever she wanted.
If he had known about this situation, he would have forced Aunt Mi to return all these cloths no matter what.
Of course, it's too late to say anything. At most, he can only be a hindsight and complain.
But the problem is that Aunt Mi's mouth is not easy to talk to.
After all, she is a veteran salesperson. Arguing with strong arguments is the most basic quality. She is not at a disadvantage when arguing.
"What a waste? I am so cautious that I can sail a boat for thousands of years. I am afraid of poverty. Have you forgotten the time when we were short of cloth in the first two years? You can't even find the ends of cloth to darn socks. It's better to save some. Save some money. This cloth will be used for sewing quilt covers and curtains for a long time. Then maybe the price of chemical fiber cloth will increase from 1000 to 2000! People say this is called value preservation!”
Master Mi was completely angered by his wife’s stubbornness.
"Preserve value? Bullshit! You understand this term first before you speak. If you have money, don't leave it idle for half a year. If it's worth ten thousand, you'll just leave it idle here. If you don't use it, it's waste, just like throwing away the money. Not much difference. What's more, it was clearly stated on the radio that the price of chemical fiber cloth should be reduced, and the price of cotton cloth should be increased appropriately. Do you think you are smarter than the country? If you understand economics, you can do business better than Wei Min? Why don’t you just listen to other people’s advice? You’re so ignorant!”
This comment is indeed accurate, but the problem is that everyone has emotions.
This kind of derogatory persuasion, no matter how reasonable it is, is ineffective.
As an audience, Aunt Mi couldn't listen at all.
Otherwise, how could she have gotten to where she is today?
"Why am I stupid? Facts speak louder than words. Didn't you see that my fabric has been sold? Besides, polyester fabric has always been more expensive than cotton fabric. As you see, the country is not The more they drop, the more they lose. Sooner or later, they can't stand it anymore, and they have to raise it. I don't believe that no one will recognize such a good thing. How can it be possible in our country if eggs have to be sold at the same price as potatoes? Too much stuff to sell? ”
Aunt Mi's housewife-like thinking mode and the strong self-confidence generated by it cannot help but surprise Master Mi again.
"I really can't praise you anymore. How is it possible? It's better than words? This is something that is obvious right in front of you. Just think about it, where did the people who defend the people get such things? A lot of chemical fiber clothing? They also let you sell it at a much cheaper price than the market price. Aren't they all the factory's backlog? Now, the state directly ordered the price to be lowered. Even Wei Min was in a hurry. Damn it, I won’t deal with chemical fiber products anymore. You’re definitely going against me. I’ll put it aside. Don’t be too busy with the beauty. You’re lucky if you can sell this fabric. I have to ask you to return it after the holidays.”
It’s a pity that no matter how clear the truth is, it will still be in vain.
Because Aunt Mi never cares about logic, she usually only believes in what she wants to believe.
Especially when you are emotional and angry.
That can completely turn a blind eye to all objective facts, turn a blind eye to all objective facts, and live only to make excuses.
"Hey, why are you so stubborn! Why don't you expect me to do something good? Isn't it a new year's holiday that people don't like to hear? Do you still want to be at ease in this section? "Is it me or you? I want to have a good time, but is it true? You don't read the newspaper, you don't know anything about the world, and you don't know anything about the outside world!" , that’s because our industrial production capacity is low, and polyester and high-quality materials are actually expensive. Once industrial productivity increases and mass production occurs, they will become less valuable. But cotton cloth is different. It is made of cotton. , Our country has limited land, so we don’t want more. Besides, we have to take care of the enthusiasm of other farmers. You are still an old business, you are a stupid old woman!” br>
"Hey, what do you mean, do we go around in a big circle just to increase the enthusiasm of farmers? Is it enough to make the big brother the worker suffer? The country can't be so unfavorable to one another. Don't forget The working class is the leader of everything. The workers must have enough to eat and drink!” My mind is still a few years ago. In a word, I can’t keep up! If nothing else, your own daughter has gone abroad. Can you believe it? It’s getting less and less every day. Do you believe this? If we don’t favor one thing and the other, what’s going on in our cinema?”
"What you are saying is pure nonsense. How is it possible that no one is watching the movie? Why are people going there if they don't want to watch the movie? Staying at home all day long?"
"Humph, I really let you talk. No. Just stay at home and watch TV. To tell you the truth, just because more and more TV sets are bought, there are fewer and fewer people in the cinema. Nowadays, no matter how good a movie is, it has to have an attendance rate of 70% to 80%. I’m already tired of sitting there. Look at the neighbors around us, who are asking me for movie tickets? Even I don’t understand! I don’t know, there are no movies that are enjoyable to watch. The TV series is like shitting a sheep episode by episode, but this is the damn fact...”
Fortunately, after all, the immediate economic interests are not important to Mi. Auntie must be higher than the argument itself.
No, once she heard that Master Mi’s unit economic performance was not good, Aunt Mi immediately became anxious and no longer had the perseverance to carry out the verbal confrontation to the end.
"Huh? Really? Dad, I said your bonuses have been getting less and less recently. Then your leaders must find a way. We can't keep going like this!"
"Otherwise, what else can we do? All the movie theaters are almost the same, and we are pretty good. After all, it is the downtown area of Dashilan. The situation in other places is even worse. Besides, our leaders must have some ideas, Then he's not a manager in charge of a movie theater. Why don't you become the district mayor or mayor? Well, it's not your turn to worry about our movie theater. If you weren't so stubborn, I wouldn't even bother to tell you. . Anyway, I just want to say that things are different from the past, and there will be more and more new things in the future. If you really want to hit your hands, don’t regret it.”
Don’t let Aunt Mi bother you anymore. Going down, Master Mi sniffed again.
"Hey, I said, hurry up and take a look at your pot for steaming steamed buns. Has your pot been sitting on the fire for more than a long time? Has it been steamed yet? Don't burn the pot dry again. "
As soon as he said this, Aunt Mi, who was just looking at the cloths, also remembered it, and quickly put down the cloth in her hand to look at the steamer.
As a result, the old lady couldn't help but start a quarrel.
"Oh, dad, thanks to your crow's mouth, my pot of steamed buns is completely blind."
"What's the matter? Did you really burn the pot?"
"Then Not really, but the flour is wrong. The steamed buns made with Fuqiang powder are so dry! Where's the flour? As soon as I lift the lid, I see it shrinking. It's so unlucky to be here on New Year's Day. Do you think this person is full and has nothing to do? Why are you inventing this new thing? It’s a rip-off, it’s a rip-off! The same is true in this society. If there is no progress, he can’t just stay still for two years. It’s so tiring and frustrating..." br>
At this time, just outside Courtyard No. 2 of Shan'er Hutong, a flatbed tricycle stopped.
The person pedaling was none other than Luo Guangliang, and there were two bottles of tiger bone wine hanging on the handlebars of the tricycle.
Mi Xiaohui, who had her hair braided and wore a big scarf, was sitting behind his car with her hands in her sleeves. She looked extremely comfortable and satisfied.
I bet this girl's bus to go home broke down halfway, and she was anxious because she had no choice.
Luo Guangliang saw her when he passed by, so he took the girl back.
"Brother Liangzi, oh, thank you so much. To be honest, I have no energy to walk. Fortunately, I met you today. Otherwise, I don't know what time I can walk back."
As soon as she got off the car, Mi Xiaohui quickly thanked her. The little girl was very sensible.
Luo Guangliang immediately became happy.
“You’re a little girl, you’re quite sweet. Why thank you for such a small thing? It’s not what you should be doing? By the way, next time something like this happens again, you little girl’s house, don’t If you run away by yourself, it’s so cold outside. Just look for me and I’ll run for you.”
I didn’t expect that this little girl’s ability to please people is much more than that.
"Oh, brother Liangzi, you are so interesting. I wish you were my brother. It's a pity that I am only the first sister, so you don't want me anymore."
Luo Guangliang was immediately attracted by this The pitiful energy went around.
"Look what you said. We live in the same courtyard and I watched you grow up. Aren't you just like your brother?"
"Okay, I will tell others about it in the future. You are my brother. If someone bullies me, you have to stand up for me."
"Don't worry, if someone bullies you, I will have to take off his arm. You are a first-year and second-year middle school student. Who would bully you?” , you don’t have to beat them up, just go to the school with me when you have time, and I will be able to calm them down..."
This is when Luo Guangliang finally understood.
But seeing Mi Xiaohui's shining eyes, he just felt that the little girl's scheme was so childish and ridiculous.
"You girl, you are so scheming. Are you setting a trap for me? Okay, I will go to your school after the Chinese New Year. Okay? Since I promised you, I will not break my promise. . Remember, you, Brother Liangzi, will always spit out your words."
"Oh, Brother Liangzi, you really keep your word, that's great! A great hero. If you were from the Song Dynasty, you would definitely be able to surpass Wu Song. Let alone fight, you could scare a tiger to death..."
"Hey, you're all good at this. Who did you learn from? Look at you, your face is red from the cold. Just stop giving me rice soup and go home quickly."
"No, I will. Waiting for you. Come on, I’ll get you a drink, and you quickly lock the car. Who said I’m your sister, right?”
