90s Little Struggle

Chapter 89 Chicken Soup
Yan Hong touched his nose with a guilty conscience: "Actually, I still have some investment."

For some reason, he didn't want her to think that he was a rice bug who would only reach out and ask for money from the elders: "Last year, I opened a BB machine shop in Faxiao, and the storefront was given to me by my grandma. Then borrow a sum of money and invest some funds, and after the loan is repaid, you can see the benefits."

Xiao Hong took a deep breath: "Then, that BB machine is very profitable! I heard that it costs 2000 yuan each!"

She felt angina pectoris, such an overbearing grandma, why isn't it her own?
Once again, I regret that my grandfather passed away early, otherwise I might have a grandpa who is arrogant now.

I miss my grandma even more. If my grandma is still there, my own parents and stepmothers would not dare to make a fool of themselves.

"Yes, it's also called a pager." Yan Hong is not a person who likes to show off, maybe because of his father, he is usually relatively low-key.

Therefore, he is not like some people who can't wait to show off, either holding the pager in his hand or wearing it on his waistband.

He took out a small pager from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Hong: "Actually, the phone is connected to the transfer station through telephone lines and radios. The call must be dialed to the transfer station first, and then the staff will connect the call to the transfer station." If you want to connect the phone numbers of the contacts to achieve communication, you will be charged by the word..."

He felt like a child, holding a lollipop to show off in front of the little girl he liked, and wanted to kidnap her and play house with him.

"You people in the provincial capital still know how to play." Xiao Hong fiddled with it for a while, and after pressing it, the time was displayed on the pager.

She was not really interested in this thing, so she handed the pager to Xiao Fang.

But after Mengli started to open a clothing store in the city, most young people took it as a fashion to wear a BB mobile phone in their waist. By the end of the 90s, she had spent more than 2000 yuan to buy a flip phone.

That is much more delicate, light and convenient than the big brother, it can be put in the trouser pocket and can be contacted directly.

In her opinion, it is a bit cumbersome for the pager to receive incoming messages, and it is necessary to go to the telephone booth to make a call to get in touch with the person. However, it is considered a convenient communication method nowadays, and it is also a symbol of status and fashion.

Young people like to expose their pagers outside and tell others "call me if you have anything to do", which is really chic and trendy.

Xu Xinning would not be polite with his cousin. Seeing that Xiao Fang was still playing with the pager, he asked for it: "Brother, can you leave this to me?"

"There is no signal in the town, so it's useless for you to hold it!" After Yan Hong finished speaking, his heart moved: "When you are admitted to university, I will give you one."

Mingxiu plank road darkened Chen Cang, so that it would be much more convenient for him to contact Xiao Hong.

The Xiao family sisters all refused in unison: "No need, it's too expensive."

Before Yan Hong could say anything, the waiter came over with a tray and handed each of them a towel.

Xiao Fang took the hot towel handed over by the waiter, feeling very at a loss, not knowing what to do for a long time.

But after seeing them wipe their hands with a towel, she also wiped their hands calmly and put them aside.

Another waiter served exquisite dishes and drinks.

Another waiter brought up the dishes. The crispy-skinned duck was served delicately. The warm duck skin was wrapped in a thin layer of fat and tasted particularly delicious. The duck meat was tender but not fishy, ​​fat but not greasy.

The meat of the fried fish fillets is snow-white, not only has no fishbone, but is also very tender.

The red prawns taste delicious and slightly sweet...

This meal made everyone very satisfied.

When Xiao Hong put down her chopsticks, she couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, you get what you pay for, and there is a reason why you get what you pay for."

Anyway, now she is thinking about earning more money, so that the whole family will come to have a meal next year.

Yanyan even couldn't help hiccupping. Seeing everyone looking at her, she blushed in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "It's so delicious, I can't help but get a little too full."

"I'm full too!" Xiao Hong blinked at his sister: "It's rare to come here to eat once, and I feel wronged if I don't eat more."

After hearing the elder sister's comfort, Yanyan really didn't worry about whether she was ashamed anymore. She inadvertently looked at the door, her eyes widened in shock: "Elder sister, look, that person is not wearing pants!"

Xiao Hong looked over and saw more than a dozen young men and women walking in the gate. The three girls were all wearing bright red lipstick. Underneath were miniskirts, silk stockings and single leather shoes. On top was a down jacket, but it was deliberately opened to reveal the low collar underneath. cardigan.

Nowadays, young girls, in order to look good, are not afraid of the cold.

Xiao Hong smiled lowly: "They only want demeanor but not warmth. We can't be like them, hurting our bodies to attract other people's eyes."

What satisfied her was that no matter whether it was Yan Hong or Xu Xinning, they just glanced casually and then withdrew their eyes.

It's not like there are a few diners in the hall, their eyes are glued to them and they can't be pulled out.

Seeing that Xu Xinning hadn't finished eating, Yan Hong stood up with a smile: "I'm going to the bathroom."

After he left for a while, Xiao Hong also got up: "I'll go to the bathroom too."

She is ready to pay the bill.

Even if they are not short of money, she can't take them as a fool.

Besides, she is also rich now, although it is a bit painful, but now she treats herself, and if she needs help from others in the future, she is ashamed to open her mouth.

Yanyan also got up shyly, and said very considerately: "Sister, I will accompany you."

They are sitting a bit off, and they can't see the service desk.

Xiao Hong came to the service desk: "Hi, checkout at table eight."

"Ah?" The waiter looked at her in surprise, and then looked at the account book: "Hi, your table has already been settled."

Yan Hong came out of the toilet, and happened to hear what the waiter said, and patted her on the shoulder: "I've agreed to treat you, do you still want to fight with me?"

Xiao Hong was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this often taking advantage of you, sorry?"

"It's okay, even if you don't come, we still have to eat." Yan Hong was cunning thinking about the next meeting: "You can invite me later."

He thought they were going to the toilet, so he thoughtfully brought her a pack of napkins from the service desk, and pointed her in the direction: "The toilet is right there."

Delicate and white napkins are still rare in the town, Xiao Hong was too embarrassed to refuse, took a pack of napkins from him, and went to the bathroom with her sister.

Seeing that the restrooms are covered with clean white tiles, Yanyan couldn't help whispering to her: "Sister, this restaurant is really grand!"

Xiao Hong took advantage of the situation to fool her: "You study hard, and when you are admitted to a good university, you will be able to have a good job, and then you will be able to eat in restaurants often."

It is a daydream for her own academic performance to be admitted to a good university. Xiao Fang still has hope, and Yanyan is still young, so she can't see it yet.

However, it is always good to give her more chicken soup for the soul.
