Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 115, Family Compound 2
"It's been a long time, Auntie. You're still so pretty. To be honest, you'd be blind if you married me, Uncle Luo."

In the room, Jiang Yan's small mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, coaxing Luo Yong's daughter-in-law Huang Ling from ear to ear.

"Auntie, this is the perfume "Red Moscow" that I specially brought back from SL for you."

While talking, Jiang Yan took out two bottles of beautifully packaged boxes from the bag. The most prominent picture of the Kremlin on the box was written "Red Moscow" in Russian.

"Red Moscow" Strictly speaking, this perfume is not really a Soviet perfume.

In the earliest time, the factory of the Russian Empire developed the "New Dawn" perfume and brought it to the market.

And it was the SL period that really made this perfume "shine".

SL has been producing this well-known fragrance since the 20's and changed the name to "Red Moscow".

Since the 50s, this perfume has become a fashion standard for residents of Eastern camp countries.

Huang Ling is actually no stranger to this perfume. One of his best friends has this bottle of perfume in his house, and Huang Ling has been coveting it for a long time.

But there is no way, this perfume is rarely sold in China, if it weren't for my best friend's husband who has been to SL, he wouldn't be able to get this perfume.

This bottle of perfume is regarded as a treasure by girlfriends and is not used easily.

Now I have two bottles, which is quite arrogant.

While Huang Ling was saying polite words, she couldn't wait to take the perfume from Jiang Yan's hand. If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, she would have found him and sprayed it on herself right now.

Then Jiang Yan took out two kaleidoscopes and two exquisite iron pistols from his bag and handed them to Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei next to him.

Xiangnan and Xiangbei are Uncle Luo's two children, but they are both boys. Xiangnan is the eldest who is 11 years old this year, and Xiangbei is the second child who is only [-] years old this year.

Before, Jiang Yan often came to Luo Yong's house to play, and these two people, Jiang Yan, were quite familiar with each other.

After thanking Jiang Yan, the two took the things Jiang Yan handed over and started playing beside them.

I have to say that this SL toy gun is also very beautifully made, it looks like a real gun, except that the bullets shot out of it are plastic.

Uncle Luo, who was waiting next to him, saw that his wife and children had toys, rubbed his hands together and looked at Jiang Yan expectantly.

But Jiang Yan ignored Luo Yong's fiery eyes, handed the handbag directly to Huang Ling and said, "Auntie, here are the cans, chocolates, candies and sausages I brought back from SL."

"You child, why did you buy so many things? It costs a lot of money! Perfume and toys, your aunt and I will accept them. Let these things be eaten by your grandma!"

Hearing Huang Ling's words, Jiang Yan said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I brought some for Grandma, and this is for you."

And Luo Yong next to him said sourly, "Take it! This kid is not short of money."

Uncle Luo's words made Huang Ling very curious, and she quickly said, "You are talking nonsense. I have heard that the consumption of SL is very high, and the subsidy given by the state is only enough for the monthly consumption."

"It's someone else, you don't know, this kid has learned to repair radios, TVs, motorcycles and other things since his sophomore year, and he makes a lot of money in his spare time. You can rest assured!"

Uncle Luo was right, the drinks brought by Jiang Yan's space hadn't been sold for that long at all, and most of them were brewed into medicinal wine by himself.

So Jiang Yan quickly discovered another way to make money, which was to repair home appliances and motorcycles.

Or say that this era is the golden age of SL.

The most popular TV series in SL in the 50s was the KVN-49 black-and-white TV set, which was the first mass-produced TV set in the country.

What's more funny is that a distinctive feature of kvn TV is the large magnifying lens in front of the screen.

At that time a new TV set cost between 850 and 2600 rubles.Ordinary working-class people can afford it. There are about 50 units in Moscow alone, not to mention radios.

The labor cost of SL is very high, which made Jiang Yan see the business opportunity, so he teamed up with a few SL people in the class to use the business time under the guise of extracurricular practice to repair these things.

Those SL people were also specially befriended by Jiang Yan. They told someone in their family to work in factories that produced TV dramas and radios.

Of course, the money earned is almost equally divided, which makes everyone very satisfied.

The life teacher talked to Jiang Yan a few times, but Jiang Yan blocked them by increasing practice. Besides, Jiang Yan didn't miss his studies, and he could only let it go after a long time.

Otherwise, how could Jiang Yan have so much money to sell things in the end.

"Uncle Luo, you don't expose people's shortcomings, and you don't hit people in the face, right! Besides, how could there be no gift from you, Uncle Luo, just wait."

After Jiang Yan said these words, he got up and walked out of the house, and took out two bottles of wine and a curl of fur from the back of the motorcycle trunk at the gate.

"Uncle Luo, didn't I hear that you have old cold legs? These two wolf skins I brought back specially for you, one for you to make a mattress, and the other for you and my aunt to wear a pair of trousers."

"Also, this is the tiger bone wine I brought you. Drinking a penny a day is the best for your health."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he handed two bottles of wine and two wolf skins to Luo Yong.

Seeing what Jiang Yan handed over, Luo Yong was overjoyed, and put it away without saying a word.

After Huang Ling asked about Jiang Yan's situation after returning to China in detail, she got up and said to them, "You two talk first, and I'll cook."

Seeing Huang Ling leave, Jiang Yan whispered to Luo Yong, "Uncle Luo, is this Jiang Sirui's daughter Uncle Liu?"

It's not that Jiang Yan is mentally retarded, the key is that one is surnamed Liu and the other is surnamed Jiang, which makes Jiang Yan very confused.

"Why, you kid has taken a fancy to her." Luo Yong directly pointed out Jiang Yan's careful thinking.

Hearing what Luo Yong said, Jiang Yan laughed out of embarrassment.

After a while, he rubbed his hands and said to Luo Yong, "This is not a fair lady, a gentleman."

"Just you, a gentleman, I don't look like you at all." Luo Yong took a puff of cigarette and gave Jiang Yan a squinting look.Then he continued.

"Your boy's eyes are really thieves. I can tell you, what I hope is the best. Don't try to trick me. If you dare to harass her, believe it or not, I will pull out your skin."

After listening to Luo Yong's words, Jiang Yan retorted, "Look at what you said, Uncle Luo, how could I be like that? Who do you think I am?"

After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Luo Yong was silent for a while, and then said: "Ruirui is not your Uncle Liu's child. The father of this child is comrade-in-arms with me and your Uncle Liu. Unfortunately, he died while beating a little devil. This child is A posthumous child, her mother also sacrificed a few years ago, and your Uncle Liu took her into his home."

"Our group of old brothers all regard her as their own child. I warn you, boy, if you really catch up, you are not allowed to bully her, otherwise we will not agree."

Hearing what Luo Yong said later, Jiang Yan was surprised and hurriedly said: "Uncle Luo, if you have no objection, I beg her the most."

"Of course I don't object. I know children who are similar to you, and you are the most promising. Besides, you saved her. Why should I object? I can see that this girl has a crush on you."
