Chapter 86 Buying Clothes

In the small foreign-style building, Bao Guowei ran up and down the stairs, as if exploring a maze, getting familiar with his new home.

Lao Bao was standing in the living room, in front of the light switch, playing with the switch back and forth cautiously and curiously.

"Snapped!"

Watching the gorgeous palace lanterns flicker and go out, Lao Bao's mood gets better and better.

Today's Lao Bao is like a child who got a toy. He obviously loves this electric light deeply.

……

After some exploration, Bao Guowei discovered the bathroom on the first floor, with a white tiled water basin under the steel faucet.

Since the house has electricity, it naturally has water, and it is also directly connected to Suzhou's underground water pipe network. As soon as it is unscrewed, cold water gushes out.

From now on, I no longer have to go to the bathhouse and squeeze in with others. I can buy a big wooden bathtub and boil hot water in it so I can lie down in it and take a hot bath!
Bao Guowei entered fantasy time, imagining the scene of soaking in a hot bath alone in a wooden tub, with a pleasant smile on his face.

On the first floor of the western-style building, in addition to a large living room, there are two bedrooms, each equipped with a wooden bed.

There is also a kitchen and storage room.In addition to a heating stove and a mahogany dining table, there is also a soft gray sofa.

There are also two bedrooms on the second floor. In addition to the balcony and small living room, there is also a large study room with a window. The sunlight shines in and is very bright. Not only is it equipped with a set of brown desks, but the large cabinet dedicated to storing books is painted white. The paint looks very bookish.

……

The stove on the first floor can keep you warm and warm in the winter, and Lao Bao's cold legs will probably feel more comfortable this winter.

There is a wide and bright balcony on the second floor. You can bask in the sun during normal times, or lean on the railing and look at the busy traffic in the distance. Of course, it can also be used to dry clothes.

In short, this new home is simply a few grades higher than the small and cramped old house.

Bao Guowei was very satisfied with this house. The only shortcoming was that there were only two people in the house, which seemed a bit wasteful.

In such a large foreign-style building, even if five or six people live there, it will not feel crowded at all.

To put it bluntly, the Bao family today actually doesn't feel like a family at all, but more like two people living dependent on each other.

In order to prevent this new home from appearing too spacious, Bao Guowei planned to bring some furniture from his old house in the south of the city.

For example, the small bookcase that has accompanied Bao Guowei for more than ten years in the old house in the south of the city. He has some feelings for this object, so naturally he cannot leave it behind.

The dressing table in the bathroom needs to be stocked with several bottles of Stankol, both soft and hard brands, including Bao Guowei.

The courtyard is too spacious. I need to find some things to decorate it. Maybe I can raise a dog and plant some flowers and plants.

……

Bao Guowei was thinking and came to the living room, ready to have a discussion with Lao Bao. When he noticed the wrinkles in Lao Bao's collar, he suddenly realized that he slapped himself lightly.

After considering so much, why haven’t I thought about buying a new cotton-padded jacket for my old bag?New pants!new shoes!Buy a new quilt for the bed!

In the past, people like Lao Bao had supported Bao Guowei for so many years, and it was now Bao Guowei's turn to support Lao Bao.

Bao Guowei touched the thick wad of money in his pocket: I withdrew more than 200 yuan from Suzhou Jingpu Commercial Bank today. Naturally, I can make a big purchase without worrying about insufficient money.

"father!"

There are many clothing stores in the west of the city, especially in the central street in the north of the city. Unlike when you lived in the south of the city, you had to go all the way from the south to the market or commercial street in the city to buy.

……

To the west of the city, Gaoyang Road, Tao's winter clothing store.

"arrive."

A young rickshaw driver parked his car in front of the shop. He was wearing a white short-shoulder shirt that was easy to move around, and he was breathing heavily.

Today's weather was really cold. Even with intense running, the temperature of the body could not be raised. The cold wind penetrated into the internal organs, and the driver only felt that his lungs hurt like a knife.The father and son got out of the car, and Bao Guowei rummaged around in his pocket—fiddled with a pile of banknotes that felt great to the touch.

Finally, he touched a coin and took it out to see that it was a dime. Bao Guowei handed it directly to the driver.

"Thank you boss!"

There was some surprise in the eyes of the rickshaw driver. For a quarter of an hour's journey, he had agreed to pay seven cents, but he was actually given ten cents!The extra three cents can buy more than a pound of bran rice.

This was enough to bring a delighted smile to his face.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The rickshaw driver coughed a few times, and the pain in his lungs became more severe. He spit out a mouthful of blood-streaked phlegm, or rather vomited it out.

He suddenly felt a little dizzy. Looking at the pedestrians around him, his eyes felt a little blurry.

He shook his head, raised the bars of the car, supported his tired body, and walked in high spirits, preparing to find the next customer.

"It's not hard!"

……

Looking at this exquisitely decorated shop, Lao Bao seems to be less restrained than last time - his new home is now decorated like this, so what should he be afraid of!
Especially when he saw the young master-looking Bao Guowei next to him, Lao Bao seemed to feel confident, and he strode open the transparent glass door.

The waiter in the store quickly looked at Lao Bao with shrewd eyes. From his collar and shoes, he could tell that he was a not-so-rich man. With his professional qualities:

"What to buy?"

Lao Bao stepped on the flat floor, and the slightly worn soles made it a little difficult for him to walk.

Among the piles of cotton-padded clothes hanging on a shelf, Lao Bao took a fancy to a thick brown cotton-padded jacket - it was undoubtedly a very thick cotton-padded jacket, somewhat like a winter marching coat.

It weighs at least four or five kilograms and is made of sufficient materials. Therefore, the price is definitely not affordable by the poor. In this era, it is enough to highlight the wearer's wealth.

Touching the brand new cotton-padded jacket with his calloused hands, Lao Bao looked at the waiter who had walked beside him and tried to ask in a calm tone:

"Cotton coat, how much does it cost?"

The waiter was about the same age as Lao Bao. He was wearing a gown that was cleaner and neater than Lao Bao. He responded to Lao Bao with a professional fake smile:

"It's 11 yuan and 11 cents. This is your first time here. You can give me a small change. I'll just charge you [-] yuan."

This high price really shocked Lao Bao, which is equivalent to half a year's salary of an ordinary person!Subconsciously, he wanted to refuse, but Bao Guowei shouted:

"purchase."

Not counting food, the Bao family now has a net worth of 3000 yuan, and that's just on the surface!
Why do you say that?

Relationships can also essentially be exchanged for money.

When one day I don't have enough money, I can write a letter to Master Chu with the key points. Although it will waste some affection, but it only costs a few hundred yuan, so it won't be a problem.

There is also the Qin family, who want to rely on themselves to introduce noble people to them. As long as Bao Guowei is willing, he can earn a lot of commission just from this matter.

There is also Zhang Siwu. He is currently in the Youth Gang. If you are really short of money, you can ask him to borrow money. You can probably borrow a lot.

In the future, Bao Guowei will also make friends in the new school, and strive to develop more interpersonal relationships while fully studying the joint alkali production method.

It would be even better if you can find a well-matched "daughter-in-law". Marriage is also an important step in expanding your interpersonal network.

Visible to the naked eye, the Bao family is rising!Moreover, it is a family that is in a period of rapid development, with a bright future and full of vitality.

However, not long ago, this was just a family of a servant father and a servant son living together.
