Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 53

Since Zhang Xiuqing and others had never been to Shanghai, their eyes were darkened after getting off the car, so Shao Han arranged all the rides, meals, and accommodation.

For safety reasons, Shao Han found a guest house next to the police station. After paying the deposit, the waiter took a box of mosquito coils and took them to rest.

At that time, separate suites were not popular. When people go out for lodging, they can only sleep in the same room with other travelers. Those who want to be quiet can sleep in a small room for four people, and those who want to be cheaper can sleep in a large room for 20 people. .Due to the chaos of people, incidents of stealing orifices happened from time to time. Fortunately, men and women live separately, so there is no need to worry about that kind of thing happening.

Shao Han didn't want to save this little money, so he asked for two rooms for four people.

The waiter took them to the door of the room respectively, pointed out to them where the men's and women's toilets were, and left.Zhang Xiuqing took the bundle from Zhang Lingen, opened the door and saw that there was nothing inside except four beds, four wardrobes, and four chairs.

The bed by the window has been occupied by a mother and daughter, and a woman in her 30s is lying on the second bed after entering the door.Zhang Xiuqing was the last to come in. She had no choice but to sleep on the bed near the door.

Regardless of rest, Zhang Xiuqing took out a towel and went to the toilet to wipe off her body. Not long after returning to the room, Shao Han came and knocked on the door. Zhang Xiuqing locked all the replacement clothes in the closet, and then put on the floral cloth she sewed by herself Bag out the door.

It was nearly five o'clock at this time, and the restaurant had already opened for business. The four of them walked into a snack bar that looked fairly clean. Shao Han ordered four boxed lunches. The proprietress turned on the electric fan, and the four of them sat down facing each other, chatting while eating. .

After eating and paying the bill, Zhang Lingen was taken aback. He never expected that such a box lunch with no shredded meat would cost [-] yuan a piece. It was really a money grab!

Ma Tao, on the other hand, kept muttering, disgusted with the bad food: "The taste is not as good as our Jiangnan water town, but the price has doubled, it's really unreasonable..."

Since it was still early, the four of them drove to the No. [-] Department Store on Nanjing East Road, Huangpu District. Seeing so many dazzling products, Ma Tao's eyes were straightened: "Hey, how much will it cost to buy all these things back?" Money?"

Shao Han glanced at him coldly.

Ma Tao immediately changed his words: "That's not what I mean, hehe... I mean, Shanghai has such a large population, if one day I can rent a counter here, how much will I earn a year?"

This time it was Zhang Xiuqing who rolled his eyes at him.

People are afraid of comparison, Ma Tao found that his brother is not loyal at all, and his brother-in-law-to-be is not cute at all, but the future father-in-law is a good person, and he will never hit him... Ma Tao decided to look for him in the future Object, my father-in-law must follow Zhang Lingen's standards, otherwise I will brag about her...

But Zhang Lingen decided that when looking for a son-in-law in the future, he must not find a bastard like Ma Tao, otherwise he would firmly oppose it.

As soon as they entered the mall, the four of them went straight to the area where mosquito nets were sold, and they saw a banner at a glance: Goods are in short supply, buy quickly!After asking, I found out that the mosquito nets on the market are quite expensive. The cheapest one costs 25 yuan, and the most expensive one costs 50 yuan.The most important thing is that the inventory status of such an expensive item is temporarily out of stock!

Ma Tao was very excited. Although he didn't know whether the raw materials were expensive or not, he thought it would not exceed the price of cotton cloth. If the business could be successful, he could buy a new motorcycle...

Zhang Xiuqing was very sad. Although she didn't know if the raw materials were also in short supply, she didn't think it would be much better. If the business could not be successful, the plan to buy bicycles would have to be postponed again...

The four of them rarely come to Shanghai once, so naturally they want to buy some things to go back.

Ma Tao spent more than 150 yuan on a Swiss-made plum blossom mechanical watch, and Shao Han bought a Phoenix brand women's bicycle without a horizontal bar for 120 yuan.Zhang Xiuqing bought the most, schoolbags, pencil cases, pencil sharpeners, mechanical pencils, sandals, folding umbrellas, jeans... two copies of each item, and the final checkout cost nearly 100 yuan.

It wasn't until nightfall that the four returned to their hotel by car.

On the bus, Zhang Xiuqing met a pair of cousins, one was wearing a shirt with Zhenliang flower, tied a ponytail and a bow tie, and the other was wearing a washed-white dress and had two braids. .The two talked hand in hand, the cousin was full of envy for the cousin who married in Shanghai, and hoped that the cousin would help her find a partner and stay in Shanghai in the future.

In addition, I also met a pair of uncles and nephews, one was wearing a grease-spattered shirt with greasy hair, the other was wearing a patched dress, the two sat side by side, the nephew was full of faces He looked at uncle adoringly, hoping that the other party would help him find a job and earn a lot of money in the future.

"This is the metropolis that everyone yearns for, full of gold..." Zhang Xiuqing turned her head, looked out the window at the criss-crossing streets, rows of shops, and pedestrians hurrying to and fro, her voice was as thin as a gnat: "But I don't envy you at all." , everything is good, it is still the best in my hometown!"

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Xiuqing stuffed everything into her schoolbag and locked it in the closet.Due to the poor conditions of the hotel, Zhang Xiuqing had no choice but to wipe her body with a wet towel and change into her clothes.

Waking up early the next morning, after washing up, he went to have breakfast. Shao Han ordered what Shanghainese often call the "Four King Kongs"—flatbread, deep-fried dough sticks, soybean milk, and steamed rice. money.

After eating, Shao Han bought a traffic map from the newsstand on the side of the street, handed it to Zhang Xiuqing, and told her how to get on the bus, telling her over and over again, for fear that she would get lost.

Zhang Lingen frowned: My family, Zhang Xiu, is also a high school student, can't he understand the map?I'm the only one with the lowest culture here. Are you trying to tell her, or me?

Ma Tao burst into tears: My brother is possessed by a gossip woman, God, please send down a thunder and kill him!I really can't take it anymore...

Half an hour later, the four men split into two groups. Zhang Xiuqing and Zhang Lingen went to a textile company specializing in the production of nylon mesh cloth in Jiading District, while Shao Han and Ma Tao went to another manufacturer located in Songjiang District.

Because Shanghai is too big, Zhang's father and daughter took a half-day car ride to Jiading District. After they got off the car, they went straight to Jinhua Textile Co., Ltd. regardless of lunch.Then what Zhang Xiuqing was worried about finally became a reality. There was a long queue of trucks waiting to load, and buyers who wanted to buy blocked the gate. The doorman spoke authentic Shanghainese and persuaded these people to go to another house to buy.

After going through five hurdles and killing six generals, and after a lot of hard work, Zhang's father and daughter entered the textile company and met the employees of the sales department.Zhang Xiuqing explained the purpose of her visit. The employee admitted that because nylon mosquito nets were selling well in the market, nylon mesh fabrics were in short supply, and the orders received by Jinhua Textile Company had been scheduled until September next year.

Zhang Xiuqing dropped his integrity to the ground, trying to bribe the salesperson.This person wanted to take it, but it was a pity that the manager had the final say on the order, so he had to pretend that he didn't understand Zhang Xiuqing's words, and said angrily: "If you really want to do this business, you can go to the finance department to make a deposit and wait until next year. The production plan for September has been successfully completed, come and pick up the goods!"

When the day lily was cold next year, Zhang's father and daughter stood up disappointed and returned empty-handed.

Not long after returning to the hotel, Shao Han and Ma Tao also came back. Zhang Xiuqing knew from Ma Tao's expression that the matter had not been completed.

Due to the fact that they did not succeed in their work, in the next few days, the four cheered up, went out early and returned late every day, and got acquainted with all the manufacturers of nylon mesh fabrics in Shanghai.Three days later, except for Shao Han, everyone had a mouthful of blisters, and even drank cold water so painfully that they bared their teeth.

This morning, the four of them were sitting in a snack bar drinking soy milk and eating tofu flower. Fu Minrong walked in with a middle-aged woman in her 40s on her arm.Seeing Shao Han, Fu Meili was almost incoherent with excitement: "Long time no see, how are you? It's so hot these days,
You'd better not go out, be careful of heatstroke... oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is my mother, the former sales manager of XX Textile Co., Ltd... Mom, this is my alumnus Shao Han, he is very smart, every day No.1 in every exam..."

Zhang Xiuqing is now very sensitive to Textile Co., Ltd. Hearing this, she couldn't help but raise her head, only to see Shao Han stand up and politely say "Hello, Auntie!" Fu Minrong's mother replied calmly, "You Good!" After speaking, she pulled Fu Minrong out of the snack bar.

Ma Tao opened his mouth and was about to say something when Shao Han's cold eyes swept over him, and he immediately swallowed back the words that had reached his mouth.

Zhang Xiuqing drank tofu flower, Zhang Lingen drank soy milk, and the father and daughter talked about Zhang Xiuhong's studies.

Shao Han only said that this is the end of the matter, but he did not expect that he underestimated his own charm. In the evening of that day, Fu Minrong found the hotel where they were staying, and frankly said that he could get an order for him, but she had one condition.

Shao Han guessed the intention of the other party, and before she finished speaking, he told her that he likes to do business in an aboveboard manner and does not like to engage in relationships.

Fu Minrong didn't believe his words at all, relying on her female intuition, she felt that Shao Han had someone else in his heart, remembering that besides two men and a beautiful girl who was walking with him that day, Fu Minrong tentatively asked: "Are you Already have someone you like?"

Shao Han nodded.

Fu Minrong couldn't believe her eyes. Tears rolled down her eyes. While crying, she asked if it was the girl who came to Shanghai with him.

How could Shao Han answer her, and told Fu Minrong to go home quickly on the pretext that it was getting late.

Seeing that it was only one day before the end of the month, Shao Han and Zhang Xiuqing discussed it and decided to take a car back to County J the next morning.In the evening, the four of them walked out of the hotel and wanted to eat in a small restaurant diagonally opposite. Just as they were about to cross the road, an old man in his 60s suddenly fell to the ground.

A middle-aged woman who looked quite similar to the old man was shocked and screamed loudly: "Abba, what's wrong with you?" She stretched out her arms, intending to help the old man up.

When Zhang Xiuqing heard the voice, she turned her head and saw that the old man's mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, his limbs were stiff, and he couldn't even speak. The word "stroke" immediately came to mind.Seeing that the middle-aged woman was about to pull the old man up, she quickly stopped her: "Your father must have had a stroke, you'd better not move around, let your father lie on his back with his head turned to one side, so as not to suck the secretions in his mouth. In the lungs..."
