Hard times have room

Chapter 744 Buying a Pen

The days at school passed quickly, more than 30 days passed without knowing it, and time soon came to the end of February, and the school was on holiday.

After Pauline packed her things, she walked out of the school gate at noon on the second day of her vacation.

After being bored in school for a few days, she is also bored, so she plans to go around the county town before going home. Anyway, the bus is only available for a while, so she really can't drive it. She just needs to go before 02:30 Just get to the station.

Of course, that's why she didn't bring anything with her when she came home this time. She folded two sacks and put them in her schoolbag. Apart from this, the schoolbag only contained a pencil, a pen, and a small The book and the rest are either kept at school or kept in her space.

She was lightly packed and only carried a schoolbag all over her body. She was still a light-hearted one, and she could go out for a stroll without any burden.

The pen in her hand has been around for some years. At this time, the mainstream of writing is the pen. Especially in some important exams, the pen is an indispensable role, and some are even included in the exam instructions.

The pen in Paulin's hand was bought after she entered junior high school. It was the cheapest one in the supply and marketing agency. It cost a total of [-] yuan. She has used it for almost four years. Very new, with only some peeling paint and small scratches on the case, showing the fact that the pen is no longer young.

Since there is only one pen in hand, Pauline plans to buy another one recently to prepare for the upcoming college entrance examination.

To answer the college entrance examination questions, you need a pen. Baolin felt that only one pen was not appropriate. She should buy another one and keep it as a spare. This is her test habit.

Forget it before, the mid-term and final exams are just a test paper, and it doesn’t matter if the exam is good or bad. Anyway, the consequences are not serious.

The same is true for the high school entrance examination. At that time, she only had one pen, but she thought it was enough, because she thought the high school entrance examination was very simple. It's not a big deal to hit a game, she can also go to high school, the only difference is which school, yes, that's how confidence is.

But the college entrance examination is different, it is too important. In this era, it can be said that the college entrance examination is an exam that can determine a person's fate, and Pauline is not 100% sure. The reasons for her failure in the exam had to be killed in the cradle in advance, and preparing two pens was just one of the trivial aspects.

After Paulin left the school gate, she went straight to the department store opposite the school. Although she had never bought anything in the department store, she had been there. She knew that there were many things in the department store, and the variety was quite complete, at least There must be something in her to buy.

After crossing the threshold as high as half her calf and entering the lobby of the department store, it can be seen that business is not very good now. Except for Pauline and the three salesmen standing behind the counter, there is no one else in the entire lobby.

The department store still looks very big. The lobby with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters is divided into several areas, selling food, fabrics, clothes, and school supplies. There are all in the lobby, which are neatly categorized. And that's just the first floor.

On the second floor, when Baolin had nothing to do in her first year of high school, she also went up there for a stroll.

Compared with the items on the first floor, the items sold on the second floor are much taller, such as bicycles, watches, radios, etc., which are very expensive.

Pauline's enthusiasm for things that she has no ability to consume at present is very limited.

Of course, even so, Pauline is still obsessed with the price of the things on it.

The three salesmen on the first floor saw someone coming in, as if they didn't see it, they still sat lazily in their respective seats, without any intention of getting up to greet the customers, the most excessive of them was an older one Auntie, looking into the person, she only lifted her eyelids, then lowered her head and concentrated on hitting the sweater in her hand.

Pauline was very accustomed to walking to the counter that sold book pens and other school supplies, and looked at the pens for herself.

Now the salespeople in department stores are still very good, there is no pressure on performance, customers come in, whether they like to buy or not, it has nothing to do with them, anyway, they only get a fixed salary every month, and they sell more or less goods. It doesn't matter, because they don't rely on this to eat.

The most expensive is the Hero brand fountain pen. Well, it costs eight yuan. That fountain pen looks golden and smooth, and at first glance, the impression is that it's worth a lot of money.

Of course, Pauline couldn't afford that thing, it was too expensive, eight yuan, which was way beyond her original budget.

As for why she wants to buy a new pen, there is a reason for using a new pen to practice calligraphy and feel. If nothing else happens, she bought a pen here, and she will continue to write with this pen for the next few months. The ink used is also fixed.

After so many years, she still feels that she doesn't have the habit of writing with a pen, which is very awkward, especially the habit of writing with a ballpoint pen for more than 20 years in her previous life, so Pauline feels a little awkward when using a pen. .

In the past, Paulin used pencils to take notes and so on. There was no obstacle to this, but now it is no longer possible. As soon as she returned to school this semester, Paulin has been writing with a pen, which is considered to be a test of proficiency. !
Although there was no problem with using a pen in the past, there are still some problems with the words written. Let Pauline look at it, that is, it is not very good-looking, even a little ugly. There are also some, but the college entrance examination paper, that is not acceptable, it must be clean and tidy, and the words must be neat, so as not to lose any wrongful points in this area.

In the end, after choosing and choosing, Pauline still chose the hero brand pen, but it is another one. In terms of color, it is silver-gray. The style looks a little different, and the texture on it is different. However, it still looks like It's very beautiful, although it is set off by the golden pen next to it to make it look gray and autumn, but it is not bad. After all, you get what you pay for. The price of the pen she chose is higher than that of the golden pen next to it. A lot cheaper.

The price of this one is much more affordable, two yuan and five, which is within Paulin's budget. She originally planned to spend money to buy a pen, as long as it was within three yuan, if it exceeded, it would be her If you like it very much, you will decide to buy it.
