90s Little Struggle

Xiao Hong slept soundly.

She has only been in the provincial capital for three days, but she has already spent a huge sum of money to buy a storefront house and a house that can be moved in with her bags. Even if she didn't say it, she was in a very happy mood.

So she fell asleep and dreamed that she was in the bustling streets of the provincial capital, and bought a storefront on a street with a lot of money.

There are more than 50 stores, and the rent is collected three times a month. It is really a joy to count the money until your hands cramp.

It was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to open her eyes.

However, the sound of doors closing upstairs and downstairs, the voices of adults yelling at children, the cries of little children, all kinds of sounds penetrated into her ears, and Xiao Hong could only open her eyes.

She subconsciously glanced at the backpack on the opposite stool, it didn't look like it had been touched.

Xiao Mengqiu woke up earlier than her and was no longer in the room.

She stared blankly at the spinning electric fan in the corner, and began to think about the approximate cost of rebuilding the house.

She came out with [-] cash, and then four large yellow croakers were exchanged for [-], the storefront cost [-], and the small courtyard house cost [-], which is [-].

For the remaining 1000 yuan, Yan Hong accompanied her to open a passbook at the bank in the eastern district yesterday, saving 80 yuan, and now she only has [-] yuan in full bills and [-] yuan in change.

She estimated [-] to [-] to build the house. In addition, she also needs to buy furniture and other things. The new store needs to prepare some household items. The remaining money should be enough, right?
Thinking of having her own home in the provincial capital, she couldn't help but giggle.

Coincidentally, Xiao Mengqiu opened the door and came in. Seeing her lying there smiling, he teased her: "What did you dream about? Make you so beautiful?"

Xiao Hong shared her dream with her.

Xiao Mengqiu gave her a blank stare, and said bluntly: "Okay, it's already dawn, so stop daydreaming."

After speaking, he took out three banknotes with four old people's heads from his pocket, and said proudly: "But my mother gave me the money, let's go buy new clothes today, let's buy three sets of clothes, trousers and shoes, we and Xiao Fang You can wear the same ones, and when you go out, others will know that we are sisters."

He hesitated again: "Should we all buy skirts? Black suspender skirts are very popular now, why don't we try them?"

It's not scary to bump into shirts now, they are all young and beautiful, no one needs to be embarrassed.

No, it should be said that now everyone likes to dress up with the actors on TV and movies, whether it's a red skirt with a white shirt, or tights with flared pants, it's all over the street.

Xiao Hong dismissed her idea: "I should buy jeans or a sweatshirt, right? I'm not used to wearing skirts, and it's not convenient for me to work."

Even if it was a skirt, she didn't want to buy a suspender skirt, it wasn't suitable for them to wear together.

After all, she is a young and beautiful girl now, and she also wants to try a pink dress suitable for her age.

Instead of mature black suspender dress.

Xiao Mengqiu urged her to get up: "Don't stay in bed, get up quickly."

Xiao Hong was forced to get up when she heard someone calling Xiao Mengqiu.

Xiao Mengqiu responded and hurried out.

After a while, he came back in a hurry, took some change from the drawer and ran out again: "I'm going to answer the phone, you wait for me at home for a while."

Xiao Hong was a little curious about who called her, so she got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Very well, today she is the last one to wake up again, the uncle and the others have all gone to work, and there are only two idlers, Xiao Mengqiu and herself.

After she finished washing up, she saw steamed buns and soy milk on the table in the living room, so she sat down and ate without hesitation.

After she finished eating, it happened that Xiao Mengqiu also came back.

Xiao Mengqiu's expression was a bit complicated: "Xiao Hong, maybe we really have to go back, your father called me."

"It was said that Lou Fenfang was admitted to university, so your father called your mother and asked about your grades. When he knew that you were all admitted to university, he asked you to go back, saying that there was a banquet tomorrow."

Xiao Hong was mentally prepared, and said calmly: "Then I have to call home and ask my mother and sister what they mean."

Now she won't be envious of Lou Fenfang, because she understands that she can live well even if she works hard.

Seeing her so calm, Xiao Mengqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I also called Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang told us to go back, and see you at Xiao's house tomorrow."

"Alright," Xiao Hong wondered what excuse she would use to dump her cousin to meet Liu Haibo: "Then let's go shopping first?"

"Okay!" Xiao Mengqiu was afraid that she would be dissatisfied with her father's preference for her step-sister, so of course he cooperated with her very much, so she must let her feel his love.

But when she saw Xiao Hong carrying the big black backpack again, she was anxious about her cousin's aesthetics, and said tactfully: "Let's go shopping, you don't need to carry a bag, anyway, there are free bags when you buy things." You can carry it."

"It's okay, I'm going to buy books later, it's more convenient to put them in my backpack." Xiao Hong thought to herself, I still have six large yellow croakers and a pair of bracelets in this bag, she won't be at ease without carrying them on her back.

Xiao Mengqiu could only compromise, and the two sisters started to go out and take the bus to the mall.

After two stops, there is a lively street with various shopping malls.

Especially at the entrances of shopping malls that sell electrical appliances, there are now large red banners that read, "The air conditioner can keep you cool in summer, and you can take it home at a discounted price of 2280 yuan." '

There are also advertisements for refrigerators that are also very conspicuous.

Xiao Hong's eyes were hot when she saw it, and she wanted to have all of these too.

Especially the house I just bought. The landlord sold the old house after building a red brick house. It may be that they are more thrifty in keeping the house. They evacuated all the furniture in the old house, leaving only the bald ones. A broom and a broken dustpan, and a feather duster that was falling apart.

She lacks everything in her house.

To live comfortably, TV sets, electric fans, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners must be arranged.

But thinking of her savings, she still didn't go in.

I thought I was rich at first, but now I see the customers who want to buy electrical appliances in the electrical appliance store, and I realize that I am still very poor.

Xiao Mengqiu didn't expect that she was thinking about what to buy, so he thought she was curious, so he dragged her in: "The air conditioner is amazing, it can cool down in summer, but it's too expensive for us to afford."

"But we can go in and enjoy it. This store is opened by my classmate's family, and she won't drive us out."

Xiao Mengqiu's classmate was overjoyed to see her, pulled her and said eagerly: "Mengqiu, it's great to see you, there is a shipment coming today, but my dad is hospitalized, can you help me go to the warehouse?" Would you like to register at the warehouse?"

Of course Xiao Mengqiu couldn't refuse, and wanted to take his cousin to the warehouse to help.

But Xiao Hong also felt that this was a godsend opportunity to act alone, so she said that she was going to buy new clothes and wear them when she was going back, so as not to lose to Lou Fenfang.
