National Tide 1980.

Chapter 106 Moisturizing

Coincidentally, at the end of December 1980, Zhang Shihui felt another feeling of crossing a critical boundary.

This month, because I have money, I have a lot of money in my hands, and I am still making money continuously.

The little life between him and Liu Weijing was particularly nourishing, and he had never been so happy.

This is not an exaggeration at all, even though the difference between "poor" and "rich" is only half a word, but in reality there is a world of difference.

And first of all, it is reflected in eating.

This is normal. As the saying goes, people depend on food.

Zhang Shihui, who has always lived in an environment of scarce supplies, can finally eat out as she pleases.

How is it possible not to make up for a lack of stomach with money?

It's funny to say that since Zhang Shihui took the share of the color TV business, she suddenly felt that she had given up.

The first way he comforted himself was to spend five yuan to buy two boards of bananas for dinner.

He ate fifteen sticks at once, until he was too full to eat any more.

That night, he developed diarrhea. In winter, he ran to the toilet all the time.

After Liu Weijing found out about this, of course he would be accused of being stupid.

But Zhang Shihui said, "How do you know? I loved bananas when I was young, but I couldn't get enough of them."

"My parents were still in Beijing at that time. Once, my dad and I went to visit someone's house and saw a handful of bananas in the house, so I asked for it. They gave me a banana, but I wanted it after I finished eating it. As a result For this matter, I went back and got beaten up by my dad."

"My dad scolded me for being worthless, greedy, and losing his people. He also said that I would not be allowed to ask for such expensive things from others in the future. If I ask for it, I will hit it once."

"So what I thought at the time was, when I want to earn money by myself, I have to come here once, so I can enjoy it. But after I went to work, I didn't have much money, so I was naturally reluctant. Tell me, do I realize this now? Dream, when are you waiting to go..."

Hearing this, Liu Weijing couldn't be more critical.

She is a smart girl, but she feels a little sad.

Why does Zhang Shihui still remember this matter like a treasure?

Isn't it because eating bananas has become an ideal, and it has become a heart problem for him.

For ordinary people, being able to eat southern fruits such as bananas is always a pleasure, but it is difficult to have anything to do with dreams.

Therefore, the humiliation and unwillingness brought about by this incident, I am afraid that only Zhang Shihui knows it, and others cannot understand it.

In this way, Zhang Shihui started his days of eating and drinking.

In the past month, he hasn't eaten his own cooking, and he hasn't even tasted Liu Weijing's cooking skills.

Except for going to the canteen to save trouble at work, he took Liu Weijing out to restaurants at other times.

If it wasn't for the time difference between him and Ning Weimin, he would even have to call Ning Weimin.

What kind of snacks, famous shops in Zhuangguan, western food is halal, you can eat whatever you want.

The only trouble is that there are so many people that you need to queue up and wait for a seat.

So when there is no Liu Weijing to accompany, Zhang Shihui will often go to the restaurant to buy a good dish with a lunch box.

Or go to the Chunming food store next to the unit, buy some cooked food such as sausages, and take them home to eat.

In addition, he also bought high-end snacks, high-end sugar, biscuits, cakes, milk powder, malted milk, chocolate, canned food, dried fruits, etc. in the store.

One is to keep it at home, and you can make up for it at any time when you are hungry.

The second is that Liu Weijing loves to eat snacks, so he is always prepared for any danger.

Thirdly, he must not forget his parents who are far away in the northwest, this is the duty of a son.

Originally, he was going to send back the money he asked for from his parents.

But my parents didn't want it. The long-distance call said that they had nowhere to spend it, so he asked him to save it.

Of course, I have to send more good things, I can't live a good life by myself, and completely forget my parents.

Of course, human needs are diverse and complex.

If people feel happy with their mouths and stomachs, it is definitely not enough.

Although people in Beijing generally have a pragmatic attitude towards life, they believe that "only what you eat is your own", and they don't care much about the external form.

It's not like people in some places who pay more attention to the outside than the inside. They always like to do things like "stick noodle belly and fabric pants", and they are not at all reluctant to eat "luxury".

But after all, it is the nature of young people to love beauty and like to follow fashion, like Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing are at the best time of youth.

Once they have oil in their stomachs, the next step is to want more decent clothes and a more glamorous image, and it becomes a matter of course.

So the lovebirds inevitably had to take care of themselves.

They began to wander around the major department stores in the capital again, carefully choosing clothes for themselves.

You know, in this day and age, entertainment activities are still very poor.

Especially in winter when the wind is howling, the temperature is much lower than 30 years later.

No matter how sunny the sun is, it’s still cold to go to the park. At most, it’s just skating outdoors.

In general, it is definitely most comfortable to stay indoors.

However, ballroom dancing has just issued a prohibition order this summer, and restaurants and movie theaters are filled with smoke and the air is dirty.

In this way, the best way to pass the time is by going shopping.

Zhang Shihui is different from the busy men today who never leave their mobile phones.

He has plenty of money and leisure, so he naturally regards shopping with his girlfriend as a kind of enjoyment.

So fully achieved everything that a model boyfriend should do.

He always stood beside Liu Weijing calmly, with a big wallet in his arms, patiently waiting for the payment.

In private, he still did not forget to whisper to Liu Weijing, "Don't ask the price, just buy it if you like it."

And Liu Weijing's good moral character is even worse.

Usually before going shopping together, the girl would have to tell Zhang Shihui the shopping instructions for the two of them.

"Remember, I will never buy you clothes worth more than 30 yuan, but if you buy me clothes for less than [-] yuan, I will be in a hurry with you!"

But that's not the case once you enter the store.

If Liu Weijing takes a fancy to a piece of clothing that suits Zhang Shihui, he often takes it without even asking the price.

On the other hand, if Zhang Shihui wants to buy something for Liu Weijing.

But she has to wait until she has selected thousands of choices, vertically and horizontally, and compared them repeatedly.

Otherwise, she would say that Zhang Shihui was stupid, wasted money, and had something wrong.

Isn't such a girl with one thing in her mouth and one thing in her heart a treasure?Isn't it cute?

If the answer is no, then there is no girl in the world worthy of Zhang Shihui to marry.

So Zhang Shihui is very happy, and Liu Weijing is also very happy.

Zhang Shihui bought leather bags, high heels, folding umbrellas, and various mohair yarns for Liu Weijing.

He also has his own serge Mao suit and woolen coat.

But because the value cannot be equal, plus you Liu Weijing bought small things, Zhang Shihui still thinks that he has lost his girlfriend.

It is inevitable that the old love will push.

"Come on, let's go shopping again. I think you should buy another fur coat."

Or just say it.

"I'll take you to the 'Silian' to have your head permed again? Let's find the best master and get big flowers out. Make sure it's good. It beats everyone in our unit. Anyone who sees it will have to ask you where it was permed. "

But Liu Weijing replied with an unusually firm unity.

"Why spend that wronged money, don't go, don't go. Let's save the money, we can't spend it all at once."

Later, because she couldn't bear Zhang Shihui's nagging, she went, but in the end she didn't buy anything for herself.

On the contrary, he said, "I have no shoes under my feet, and I am half poor", and picked out a pair of "youth-style leather shoes" for Zhang Shihui, which is currently in fashion.

Look, what the hell is this saying?

In short, Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing are like soaking in a honeypot.

I'm afraid it's just a matter of shouting at each other full of love, "I'm happier than you."

With the help of wealth, they really experienced what real life is, and broadened their horizons and mentality.

But even more fortunately, they did not cause emotional alienation because of this extravagant life and the days of spending money happily.

On the contrary, I felt what O. Henry described in the short story "The Gift of the Magi".

It seems that only poor and humble couples can feel the love that deserves mutual comfort, collection and taste.
