Chapter 77

While Shen Man was in a daze, she heard someone talking outside the house.

I wanted to go out to have a look, but I didn't expect Gu Chen to come in with his things.

An iron bucket, and an enamel basin and two white towels.

Seeing these things, Shen Man asked, "Who sent this?"

Because this place is not close to the supply and marketing cooperative, it is impossible for Gu Chen to go out to buy it. I heard the voice of talking just now, so it must be sent by someone else.

Hearing this, Gu Chen replied: "I bought it before, and asked the neighbors nearby to help keep it. Didn't they see me coming back just now, so they sent it to me."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to get water from the faucet. There is running water in the residential area here.After all, it is near the city, not in the suburbs. There are not many faucets there, basically three or four faucets are used on a street.

Shen Man followed to help, sweeping the dust and cobwebs on the shed.

"Don't sweep it yet." Seeing this, Gu Chen hurried over and said, "The kang needs to be rebuilt. I just came here today to take a look. I'll clean up the kang when it's finished, or I'll have to do it again."

None of these things are in a hurry.

Seeing what he said, Shen Man didn't continue to disturb, and the two of them sprinkled water on the ground so that the dust would be smaller.

Seeing that it was still early outside, Gu Chen decided to take her around the city center.

"Because there's nothing else to do, I'll take you around today!"

Get on the bus and come to the center of the city. This side is more prosperous. The buildings built in the last century are still very strong, without even cracks.

The department store has three floors, and it looks quite grand, a bit like a market building in the urban-rural fringe of later generations.

Next to it is a state-run restaurant, as well as a barber shop and a non-staple food store. Basically, there are places to buy things. It is a proper commercial street.

Shen Man looked at a residential building on the opposite side, thinking secretly in his heart that he would buy a few houses in the future when he had money.

Isn't it flattering to build a building and make business clothes by yourself?It can be rented out without doing business, and it is also possible to wait for the rent to be collected.

"Why are you in a daze?" Gu Chen brought her back to reality with one sentence.

Well, now that there is nothing left in the horoscope, let's think about going to work honestly.

She smiled and the two walked into the department store. There were quite a lot of people in the room. The first floor sold watches and accessories. It was divided into two areas, and the other side was for sellers of electrical appliances.

Such as refrigerators, televisions, radios.

Looking at the price, Shen Man took a deep breath, good guy, a TV is only eight or nine hundred, and it's a black and white nine-inch TV.

The refrigerator is even more outrageous, not to mention the price of thousands, what more than 100 industrial coupons are needed.

All electrical appliances require coupons, and the supply seems to be in short supply.

Basically, everyone who came in would stop and watch, the desire in their eyes was undisguised.

No one will laugh at anyone, because everyone can't afford it, so they can only watch it.

After all, the wages of the middle and lower classes are only 30 to [-] yuan a month. It takes a long time without eating or drinking to afford a TV.

"Do you like TV?" Seeing that she had been watching over there, Gu Chen asked.

He hasn't thought about this thing yet, but he can buy it, but not now.

Hearing this, Shen Man shook his head, "No, I'm just curious, let's go."

I'm really curious, what haven't you seen in later generations?The ultra-thin LCD TV, [-] inches, has caught up with the home theater.

Just this big nine-inch black and white TV?

Even if I use it as a stool, I think it is too hard.

The two walked around on the first floor, and Shen Man found that the big card at this time was really ugly...

There is also the plastic colored comb, which she remembers using when she was a child, and she loves static electricity when combing her hair.

When I was a child, I had a lot of broken hair, and my hair would be fried after combing, so I had to soak it in some water.

The plastic comb on the counter now costs one yuan and fifty cents, what kind of industrial voucher do you need?

Tut tut...

Who will buy it?

"Comrade, bring me two combs! I want the pink one."

A little girl appeared just in time.

Shen Man: ...

Forget it.

There is also the plastic hairpin and headband, which don't look good at all, and there are many little girls watching there.

Because they are all made of plastic, industrial coupons are required, and industrial coupons are still used for this stuff.

She really can't understand.

The two continued to walk to the second floor, where ready-made clothes and fabrics were sold, and there were more lesbians.

"What do you like? I'll buy you two clothes." Looking at the dazzling array of clothes, Gu Chen felt that Shen Man would look good in anything.

If he didn't bring someone over, he really wanted to buy them all.

Upon hearing this, Shen Man quickly shook his head and refused, looking at the dirt in front of him, he was not as good-looking as the old lady's clothes in the farmer's market in later generations.

What is this?
"What's wrong with you? You really don't like it?" Gu Chen was a little puzzled seeing her like this.

Turning to look at other lesbians, everyone likes ready-to-wear, wanting this and that.

Shen Man is really different, as if she doesn't want anything.

"I don't like it, let's talk about it later, I still have clothes." That's all Shen Man could say. Could it be that these clothes are too rustic?

Is it okay to say it clearly?Everyone else likes it so much, let's not talk about it.

Seeing that she was really not interested at all, Gu Chen took her to the third floor.

There are not many things on the third floor, just bicycles and some toiletries.

I don't know why the toiletries are placed on the third floor, shouldn't they be placed on the first floor with those issuing cards and the like?

Gu Chen looked around and said, "Do you want to buy shampoo? These things are daily necessities."

I always want to buy something for the other party, but I can't see what Shen Man likes.

Seeing the things he picked up, Shen Man shook his head again, "I have them all, and they are in the suitcase, so you don't need to buy things for me. I came out today for shopping, so let's look at other things."

Gu Chen who has money but nowhere to spend it: ...

Is it so hard to spend money now?
He felt that all the money he had earned over the years had been wasted.

What are you earning money for?
For the daughter-in-law to spend it!
But his wife doesn't spend money, what should he do?
After leaving the department store, Gu Chen saw that it was getting late, so he took her to dinner.

You have to eat, right?

Shen Man was not polite this time, and ordered a plate of hot and sour, sweet and sour dishes, which were delicious.

She likes this kind of dish. Although she doesn't eat, it's delicious.

Gu Chen on the opposite side ordered a stew, pork belly sauerkraut blood sausage.

My good fellow, it's quite a lot.

"Can you eat it?" Shen Man swallowed unconsciously.

She was so full just looking at it, it was enough for three or four people, a big dish was indeed too much.

Gu Chen curled his lips and said, "If I can't eat, I'll pack it up and take it away. I have money and have nowhere to spend it."

Really, don't let me buy anything!

Seeing this, Shen Man didn't talk to him, this was the first time he saw a man who was angry because he refused to let him spend money.

Are young people this crazy?

Sure enough, he is young and frivolous, how can he be a young man if he is not crazy?
I'm still low-key enough, this is very good, low-key luxury has connotations...
