Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 70 Relief
After leaving the rolling mill, Wei Pingan found a bathhouse to take a bath and changed his clothes.

Next, he saw that he still had time, so he planned to go to the department store by bicycle.

Zhou Dajun's family is not easy.

Although he didn't see his wife and child with his own eyes, but the child was only a few months old, and the family didn't have enough quilts for the winter, he still found out through chatting.

That's why he planned to send his old lady a cotton coat.

Because the old lady who walked tremblingly changed the bedding she used to the child herself.

This behavior moved Wei Pingan.

Perhaps this is the reason why human beings have been able to inherit for thousands of years, and even the cubs with the worst congenital conditions can grow up normally.

Humans are the most perishable of all known animals when they are just born.

Some can get up and run right after birth, some can resist the cold, some can be frozen for hours and then come back to life...

Only human beings are weak and vulnerable, not like the evolution of the survival of the fittest in nature, but more like species outside the earth.

Unable to rely on her own strong genes, she grew stronger and stronger until she developed into the state that now dominates the earth. Perhaps it was because of the old lady's love and inheritance from different generations that she ignored herself and left the best to the youngest.

It seems that the child represents the hope of the old man to live.

The continuation of the bloodline can live in the memory of the descendants even if it is not in the present.

Continue to live in the third way of life continuation.

Wei Ping'an was moved by this, and was willing to spend his own money to send the old lady of Zhou Dajun's family a warm winter.

It so happened that he scooped up some bills in the cave.

He has no shortage of cloth and cotton now, and he can buy materials for making.It's just that it's too troublesome, and it's a lot of trouble and I don't know how to explain it.

I simply took the receipt of the finished product and went to the department store to buy it, and sent it out directly after buying it.

The quilts and cotton coats in the department store are a counter on the fourth floor of the building.

There are not only military coats, big quilts, but also big cotton jackets and trousers with big flowers...

It's just that this kind of luxury is considered a niche luxury, and people who buy it often have clear goals. They come to buy, and then leave after buying. There are some people who shop around the counter, but not many.

Wei Ping'an entered the department store and scanned a lot of sweets and pastries on the first floor.

Some tickets in my hand have date restrictions, and there are special ones with location and area restrictions, so the flowers have to be spent.

Otherwise it is a waste.

Upstairs, the stairs of the department store are in the middle, very wide, there are steps going upstairs on both sides, and the decoration of the whole floor seems to divide the whole building into two halves, which are the characteristics of this era.

Wei Pingan came to the fourth floor, strolled around for half a circle, and finally saw a cotton jacket and trousers made of gray coarse cloth.

The location of the counter is in the corner on the far right of the counter. This color is mostly for the elderly, and the frequency of spending by the elderly is not much.

So Wei Pingan looked around and waited for a long time, but he didn't find a salesman who could come.

Even if you are not dedicated, you can't be so dedicated.

Wei Pingan was a little annoyed.

For some reason, since yesterday's accident, Wei Ping'an's mood swings have become a little higher.

This is obviously not a good sign.

Wei Pingan took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

The sun is shining today, the air is fresh today...

Stepping towards the opposite half of the building, it seems that when I went upstairs, I glanced at it, and there was a group of people gathered there.

……

Li Lu blushed anxiously at this moment.she
Surrounded by several white-haired, yellow-haired, and brown-haired men, the men are all big and three thick, with big arms and round waists. At this moment, they seem very impatient, even shouting and making gestures, as if they are about to rush into the counter in the next moment.

There were five or six customers wandering around watching, and the two colleagues at the next counter also hesitated, because they couldn't solve the problem in front of them.

Li Lu is the manager of the clothing department of the department store. Her counter is not here. Today, she is helping a little sister to take over the shift.

Li Lu lived a good life since she was a child, but she has a good personality, because she is willing to "reward" her colleagues, and because of family reasons, she can solve some small problems in many people's work and life, so even after more than a year, she became a regular and was promoted to a manager. Popularity is not bad.

In the evening, the children in the big courtyard had a dinner party, and the little sister went to buy some "supplies", so she was called to come over and "stand guard".

Unexpectedly, within a short while, I met a few foreigners without translators who came to buy cotton padded jackets...

Can foreigners visit department stores these days?

They have money, but do they have tickets?
Uh... really.

A letter of introduction with a special seal. If you have this letter, you can buy it with money.

Because people have exchanged foreign exchange in advance, and the country is short of foreign exchange, it can be considered a brain breaker for three melons and two dates.

Li Lu was a little surprised at first.

These things are worn by country people, and not many people wear them on the street. These foreigners are not very smart, so they insist on this.

However, just buy it. After seeing the letter of introduction, it was in Chinese anyway, and she recognized it easily with a junior high school diploma.

Then the price is easy to figure out, just negotiate it.

I don't know why, but the other party still has a request...

The difficulty is stuck in this requirement...

Can't understand.

The other side is in a hurry, and she is also in a hurry.

Yelling at the other side, I don't know if it's angry or just loud.

Li Lu was a little timid.

Her personality is not like this. She grew up in a big courtyard and belongs to the nature of a big sister. She has been the king of children since she was a child. She is the master of headaches for parents, grandparents, and grandparents.

But this position belongs to the little sister, who was assigned here just after graduation, and I encouraged her to go to the cannery to do "supplies", so I can't let her here by myself.

In case something happens, I have nothing to do, the little sister will be cut to death by her old lady who always takes care of her by force...

Turning around in a hurry, teary, and almost exploded on the spot.

The onlookers, no matter whether they were colleagues or the masses, no one laughed, they were all anxious.

That's the beauty of this era.

Huddling together for warmth may be just a talk decades later, but now when encountering such a thing, people who know each other or not, even if their noses and faces were swollen a second ago, they will immediately put aside their old grievances and speak out unanimously.

Well, the remote reminder is far away and back to the right track.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"My God, finally someone to talk to appeared, I'm going crazy..."

The first time Wei Ping'an spoke, the young Caucasian man in the front, who was as red as a monkey's butt, shouted happily like an orangutan.

From the eyes of the people around them, this group of guys who spoke the bird's language talked a lot, but they didn't understand anything, and they were chattering.

But to Li Lu, it was like the sound of nature.

"Hello, comrade, can you understand what they are saying? Great, please help me translate, these few... What did the customers say?"

Turning his head, he was wearing an ordinary yet somewhat special dress.

Ordinary is to wear the most ordinary workers' attire, especially because it is clean.

Not only are the clothes clean, but the person is also clean.

Especially the eyes, seem to be crystal clear.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul. Li Lu has read novels and believes this kind of rhetoric.

And Wei Ping'an's previous life of wandering around the flowers, the imitation of his eyes has long been infiltrated into the bone marrow, and the true thoughts in his heart will not be exposed at will.

I wanted to buy a cotton coat for Zhou Dajun's mother, but I ran into a few foreigners who didn't have translators and salesmen who didn't know a foreign language, and wanted to smack me with their lips.

Wei Pingan, a CET-[-] student in American English, stepped forward and showed his hand, um, mouth.

By the way, help the lesbian salespersons in the department store to get out.

They are all compatriots, and Wei Ping'an is so helpful.
