good old days

Jiang Xinyu brought two large watermelons and a few small cantaloupe today, as well as fried frog specially made by Comrade Chen Xiuyun for Jiang Yuzhu.

When they arrived in the county, the two girls went to Xinhua Bookstore first.

The Xinhua Bookstore in the county is not small in size. Compared with the ones in the town, it does look like a bookstore.

There is a long queue at the door of the bookstore. Unlike later generations who entered the bookstore and picked at will, when buying books now, you can only ask the salesperson to get you what you want.

In the era without monitoring, bookstores often lose books. In order to reduce losses, they can only let the salesperson open the whole time.The trouble is really troublesome, and the efficiency is really not high, so the queue is very long.

Jiang Xinyu lined up with a big watermelon in her hand. It took about half an hour, but her hands were sore and she didn't make it to the door.

Zhang Yanyan helped her carry the lunch box, looked around, "Your sister's job is really good."

Zhang Yanyan's family is in the town, but the number of times she comes to the county town throughout the year is also one of the few, and everything is novel to see now.

Waiters in restaurants, salespersons in bookstores, and conductors in railway stations are all excellent jobs. For lesbians, they are definitely a good way out.

"Next person"

When it was their turn to go in, Jiang Xinyu saw what was going on inside the bookstore.

The bookstore is estimated to be more than 80 square meters. The counter is on the left side of the door. Inside are rows of wooden shelves. There are many kinds of books on the wooden shelves.

"What kind of books do you want?"

Jiang Zhenzhen registered the books she just sold, arranged the money and put it in the cabinet and asked the two of them.

When she saw Jiang Xinyu, she was a little surprised, "Little sister, why are you here?"

Seeing what she was carrying, Jiang Zhenzhen looked at the clock hanging on the wall and said, "I'll wait for about twenty minutes before I can change shifts, or you two will wait here for a while."

She has just joined the job not long ago, how can she slack off her work.

Jiang Xinyu simply gave her all the things she brought under the table, "Let's go out for a walk, and I'll come back to you later."

After leaving the bookstore, Zhang Yanyan couldn't control her legs and was going to the department store to see the world. At this time, she had completely forgotten what she was here for today.

Despite the bullish attitude of the salesperson, Zhang Yanyan bought a bottle of osmanthus-flavored hair oil with great interest, and could smell the fragrance through the bottle.Seeing the beautiful petals of oranges wrapped in a layer of shiny fudge, she couldn't help but bought another one for a dime.

Jiang Xinyu bought three small bags of Seagull brand shampoo, one bag can be used four or five times.

She washes her hair with either alkaline noodles or soap at home, and she feels that her hair has become frizzy.

The salesperson looked at the Zhenliang shirt on Jiang Xinyu's body, and his attitude improved a lot. When paying the bill, he asked, "There are new ready-made clothes, do you want to have a look?"

Jiang Xinyu doesn't want ready-made clothes, the price is not cheap, she dares to say that if she buys ready-made clothes back home, Comrade Chen Xiuyun will be nagging non-stop.

"Is there any fabric with a better color?"

In her hand, she had the cloth tickets given by Chen Yi, two five-foot ones and one ten-foot ones, which were enough for her to make a whole body of clothes plus two small tops.

There is no girl who doesn't love beauty, Jiang Xinyu has only a handful of clothes that she can wear outside, she has some money in her pocket, so naturally she wants to have more clothes.

The salesperson saw that she could afford it, and pulled out four kinds of fabrics from the cabinet.

Zhang Yanyan on the side has already begun to swallow her saliva. A foot of cotton cloth costs one foot of cloth ticket and four cents. The girls also need four or five feet of cloth to make a coat, which costs two yuan.As for the quality fabric, it is more expensive.

Does Jiang Xinyu know the price of the cloth?Does she have money?Zhang Yanyan was afraid that the salesperson would roll her eyes at the two of them and say something bad.

"These two are really good ones, sky blue and floral, and they look good on you young girls."

Jiang Xinyu asked, "How much is a foot?"

The salesman glanced at her, "A piece of good quality is a piece of fifty one foot, and the cotton one here is forty cents a foot."

At this time, Jiang Xinyu's heart had already set off a stormy sea.

The shirt on her body was a fabric sent back by her fourth aunt. At that time, she only knew that good fabrics were expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.Now it seems that the original owner's fourth aunt is not a stingy person!
Jiang Xinyu's face was still stable, and she touched the cotton cloth next to it. It was a beige background with light blue flowers printed on it, "Take this for me nine feet."

It should be enough to make a floral skirt.

None of the colors and patterns of these fabrics satisfies her, and now she can only choose the general among the short ones.

She took out the cloth ticket and gave another three and six yuan, and her savings shrank sharply in an instant.

Originally, she wanted to buy a piece of cloth for Chen Yi, but she gave up again thinking that the cloth was so expensive.

It is enough for a man to wear clean clothes, and there is no need to change into new clothes.Jiang Xinyu didn't feel guilty of thinking this way at all.

After leaving the department store, Zhang Yanyan hesitated to speak, Jiang saw her constipated expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yanyan still couldn't hold back, "Why are you so rich?"

The money in her pocket is still the New Year's money saved during the Chinese New Year. At most, she can buy hair oil and a few candies, but she can't bear to part with anything else.

"The last commendation meeting rewarded five yuan, which will be spent by me soon."

Zhang Yanyan was convinced by her, and the cloth of a few dollars was a piece of cake.

The two returned to the bookstore. The long line at the door was still waiting. Jiang Yuzhu and others changed shifts, but there was a three-hour break.

Jiang Yuzhu left a watermelon in the bookstore, and planned to share it with the bookstore staff when she got off work in the evening.

The three of them went all the way to her dormitory. The dormitory was naturally not very big. There were four beds in it, and there was a desk in the middle. Everyone else was at work and no one else was there.

"Little sister, what are you two doing here today?"

Jiang Yuzhu opened the lunch box from the cafeteria, revealing the fried pork with beans inside, and opened the fried frog that Jiang Xinyu brought from home, "You two must not have eaten, so we just happened to have some together."

A full box of bean fried meat is enough for three girls to eat, and there are three large rolls, which is ample portion, it looks like it is Zhang Yanyan's portion.

Zhang Yanyan was a little embarrassed, but Jiang Xinyu directly stuffed the chopsticks into her hands.

Jiang Yuzhu heard that the two came to inquire about job opportunities, so she didn't have the heart to beat them.

She came to the city and got a job, so she naturally asked for her little sister, but the job opportunities are not so easy to get.

As far as the locals in the county are concerned, not everyone has a job. Even if the textile mills and machinery factories in the county recruit workers from outside, the job opportunities cannot go to people who have nothing to do with the factory.

To sum it up in one sentence, if you have no connections, you don't even want to have job opportunities.

After dinner, Jiang Yuzhu took the two of them to the textile factory. Li Lei was working in the textile factory. After asking the gatekeeper to call them out, Li Lei was surprised to see a few people.

After Jiang Yuzhu finished talking about his intentions, Li Lei said, "I haven't even recruited temporary workers in the past few months. When I have news, I will definitely let you know as soon as possible."

The notice belongs to the notice, and the job opportunities are extremely slim, but I won't say this to hurt a few people.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to hit the two of them before he brought people to the textile factory, and today's visit can't be in vain.

After separating from Li Lei, Jiang Yuzhu took the two of them around the county again, and when she left, she told them to say, "You two go back early, it's not easy to go back to town when it's dark."

Jiang Xinyu didn't have any hopes for today, but she was very happy to come to the county to play around.

Sitting on the bus, Zhang Yanyan sighed, "My parents told me not to mess around. I don't want to be reconciled. After I came here, I realized that we don't even know where to recruit workers, so how can we go to work in the city?"

Jiang Xinyu's mentality is fine.

If she can't work in the county in the future, then she will make some pig soap and mung bean cakes, earn money secretly, and earn a lot in a month. The bad thing is that if she doesn't join the labor union, she will be talked about by the villagers, and she will sit on the fence when she does business. risk.

But she would rather be talked about than go to work.

The setting sun was brilliant, the sky was dyed crimson, the houses were covered with a layer of golden light, and people's skin was burning hot under the lingering warmth of the setting sun.

"It's not too late for you to come to my house for a drink and then go back." Zhang Yanyan invited.

Jiang Xinyu covered the sky with her hands, "I still have to find my partner, I have to go now."

Zhang Yanyan said: "You wait, I'll come out right away."

She ate a meal with meat and rice rolls for nothing at noon, and kept thinking about it, taking advantage of others is not a good habit.

After Zhang Yanyan entered the room, she quickly asked her grandma for a one-jin food stamp, and brought out some plums in a cloth pocket.

"Hold it, hold it, how dare I take advantage of you."

Jiang Xinyu waved to her after accepting it.

Chen Yi said in the morning that she would come to him when she came back from the county, and the two of them would go back together. He didn't have to go to the countryside to show a movie today, so he was quite free.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, are you here to wait for Xiao Chen?" A middle-aged gay man wearing glasses asked Jiang Xinyu.

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "It's me, Uncle, isn't Chen Yi here?"

The gay man said: "Today Lao Zhang fainted suddenly, Xiao Chen sent him to the health team, but the health team couldn't find out what was wrong, so they sent him to the county hospital, and he hasn't come back yet. When Chen left, he said, if you come, I will let you ride your bicycle back to the brigade first, without waiting for him."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, thanked him and rode a bicycle to the brigade.

At this moment of delay, the setting sun has set half of the hill, as if missing a piece of luminescent egg yolk hanging in the sky, the forest is covered with a layer of golden light, riding a car against the setting sun, Jiang Xinyu's eyes are pierced and narrowed .

Halfway through the walk, she felt a faint discomfort in her lower abdomen, and wanted to solve her physical problems. She looked around and tipped the bicycle into the forest belt.

When she was going into the woods, a man who had been hiding in the forest belt and running fast with her no longer hid his steps, looked back at her direction, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and followed her.

He followed her through the forest belt many times. Today he ran faster than she rode a bicycle. He wanted to pretend to be dizzy and lie down in the grass ahead of the road to lure her into the bait, but he never wanted her to go into the forest belt by himself. up.

guess who this man is
