1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

Chapter Twelve Returning with a Load

Inside the department store, there are electric lights everywhere, and the light is very good.

The clothing area is located diagonally opposite the gate, with a long row of counters, which are very conspicuous and can be seen when you enter the gate.

Wang Qiang took his sister to the front of the counter in the clothing area, and looked up and down at the clothes hanging on the wall on the opposite side.

In the cupboard in front of him, there are also all kinds of clothes, shoes and socks, which are full.

The waiter sitting at the counter didn't even look up at Wang Qiang and the others. He just stared in the direction of the gate with nothing to do. He didn't even roll his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In this clothing area, there are three waiters, one sitting not far away.

Poor boys like Wang Qiang usually come in to watch the fun. There are very few people who actually buy clothes, underwear, shoes and socks, and they don't pay attention to anything at all.

Of course Wang Qiang would not bother with the opponent.

The supply and marketing cooperative, together with the employees of its department store, have less than two years of glorious time left.

Then, most of them will become the first batch of laid-off workers in the new era. In the future, the urban unemployed will have to pay their own pension insurance, commonly known as "flexible workers".

Yes, in the next few decades, most of the residents who now have urban hukou will be the most miserable part of the population.

After the closure of each collective unit, those who did not receive pension insurance compensation accounted for a considerable part.

They have no land or land, no formal jobs, and no social benefits. They even have to pay for their endowment insurance. Retirement payment is the latest and lowest salary.

In the next few decades, because of their old age, it is difficult for them to find a job, so they will have to start a small business or temporary work early in the dark. They are regarded as a small group of people who have been forgotten by the whole society.

In particular, most of the family members of employees in collective units are even worse, and even their children are no exception.

How awesome they are now, how sad they will be in the future.

To be at the bottom of society is the fate that most of them cannot escape.

Well, except for those few people with deep backgrounds and connections.

Of course, the employees of the supply and marketing cooperatives in front of them do not yet know that their tragic moment will come two years later.

When entering the city this time, Wang Qiang knew what clothes to buy.

He just looked around for a while, then took out a stack of great unity and pointed to the special area selling cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded trousers and cotton-padded shoes.

"Auntie, please help the four of us to get a set of cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants and cotton shoes, oh, and two pairs of socks and gloves for each of us."

He said calmly.

Wang Qiang knew how to speak to this kind of guy who looked up at the sky.

As for the size of the clothes, shoes and socks of the four brothers and sisters, these waiters can tell at a glance.

After all, they are all professional now, and their professional knowledge is not bad.

"what!"

The middle-aged waiter sitting not far in front of Wang Qiang could not imagine that these four little guys in ragged clothes had so much money in their hands!

She looked at the stack of great unity raised in Wang Qiang's hand, stunned, stood up, and without much to say, she helped Wang Qiang's four brothers and sisters choose clothes, underwear, shoes and socks.

Until the checkout is completed, the time has not passed ten minutes, and the efficiency is very high.

Wang Qiang put all the clothes, underwear, shoes and socks into the big back bag one by one, collected the remaining money, and walked out of the door of the department store with three younger sisters who were still a little confused.

Other things, he is not going to buy in the department store, although there is almost everything in it.

In addition to such commodities as underwear, shoes and socks, other things are available in department stores, and most of them are also available in farmers' markets today.

Moreover, there are basically no fake and shoddy products in the current products, and the quality is very good. Everyone's purchase channels are similar, and they are all sourced from regular manufacturers.

"Brother, these clothes, shoes and socks are so expensive!"

After exiting the gate of the department store, Wan Jun couldn't help but feel reluctant, and immediately said, "The four of us have spent nearly thirty dollars on these things!"

Thirty dollars, she didn't even dare to think about it before.

"Don't worry, it's just two big bamboo rats!"

Wang Qiang was in high spirits now, and he waved his hand indifferently and said, "Money is earned, it is used to spend, this is the meaning of money, otherwise, it is just some waste paper and numbers."

"In the future, our family will no longer be short of money, so you can rest assured."

Wang Qiang didn't know what to say about this very stingy girl. In the future, he had to teach her not to be so stingy.

There will be more ways to make money in the future, but it's just a question of whether he wants to make money and how much he wants to make.

There will never be a situation where you can't make money again.

"Oh! New clothes to wear this winter!"

"Yeah, yeah! In a few days, the weather will turn cold, and I'll be wearing new clothes soon!"

The two twin little loli, no matter how much, were shouting excitedly, dying of joy.

The clothes, shoes and socks that my brother just bought are very nice and sturdy. I don't know how warm and beautiful it is to wear it!

Later, the group entered the farmers market again and started a big purchase.

It took more than an hour, and everyone returned with a full load.

Of course, the price paid was: Wang Qiang had only fifteen yuan left.

On the way home, Wang Qiang was carrying a large bag full of dangdang, using a new hoe as a pole, and carrying a pair of large baskets.

Inside the big basket, there are oil, salt, rice noodles, towels, porcelain cups, toothpaste and toothbrushes and other necessities.

Wanjun was also carrying a large backpack she just bought, which contained some of her personal items.

She also used a new hoe to carry a pair of large baskets, but only half of them were loaded, so she couldn't pick up too many.

Even so, this pair of burdens weighed more than 60 kilograms.

Today's people are very strong and able to endure hardships. Compared with their peers in the 21st century, they are much stronger.

An adult in the countryside carried a hundred-pound burden and walked a hundred or eighty miles.

Wang Qiang's current physical fitness is a bit stronger than that of an average adult, carrying a burden of more than 100 kilograms with ease and no effort at all.

Even the twins, little Lolita, each carried a shovel, and both carried a large and small backpack on their backs, and the bag was bulging.

This is the real rewarding, no-quote kind.

Although the three little girls are panting, their faces are full of smiles, and the joy is almost coming out of their big eyes!

The four of them didn't stop for a moment, and they stopped looking around on the road. They walked back to the Chajiang Bridge, and it was almost twelve o'clock noon.

The time it took to enter the city this time was not much different from Wang Qiang's estimate.

It's just a bigger gain.

Of course, this is a good thing.

After crossing the Chajiang Bridge, they turned into the village trail after a while. The four brothers and sisters walked more and more briskly, striding towards their own house.

They all want to go home as soon as possible and enjoy the joy of the great harvest.
