Siheyuan: the beginning to realize the freedom of cooking

Rest day morning.

Taking advantage of no one in the room, Lin Aijun turned on the system to sign in.

【Ding!Congratulations to the host for signing in with a watch ticket. 】

As soon as the voice fell, the system went off.

Lin Aijun looked at his hand, and there was a Shanghai brand watch ticket.

Counting the bicycle ticket, sewing ticket, cash register ticket, and this watch ticket that I signed in before, the three turns and one ring can be counted as a whole.

In this era, watches are also a proper luxury, costing more than 100 yuan, and you can’t buy them without a ticket.

In the era when the average salary was in the [-]s and [-]s, it took half a year's salary to buy a watch.

Moreover, this Shanghai-branded watch was quite historically significant at the time.

In 1958, the Shanghai Watch Factory was officially established and produced the first batch of Shanghai brand watches, rewriting the history that Chinese people can only repair watches but not make watches.

At the beginning, there were two artistic characters in Shanghai.

In the late 60s, the technicians of the watch factory selected a character for "Shang" and a character for "Hai" from Mao Zedong's handwriting, and put them together into a hair style, and the "Shanghai" trademark has been used all the time.

In the 60s, among the Chinese people who wore watches, there was one Shanghai brand watch among every four people.

Lin Aijun folded the watch ticket and stuffed it into his trouser pocket with the money.

After doing the math, although the salary is not low and I can still save a lot of money every month, but I bought a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a radio all back and forth, and I spent a lot of money.

Fortunately, after I was promoted to the workshop director, I got an additional salary of 10 yuan, and I saved the money for half a year, otherwise I would not be able to afford the last big item in the "three turns and one ring" that I signed up for now.

But after buying, there is no money in the pocket.

Returning to the pre-liberation overnight, I have to start saving money again from scratch.

Counting the days, it will be Xiaojiao's birthday soon, so let's buy it for her.

When Dan Xiaojiao entered the room, Lin Aijun stepped forward and hugged her in his arms: "Xiaojiao, let's go to the department store and buy you a birthday present."

Dan Xiaojiao smiled gently, with the corners of her mouth raised at 45 degrees: "Okay."

After lunch, Lin Aijun brought Dan Xiaojiao to the department store.

He led Dan Xiaojiao to the watch counter: "Xiaojiao, let me buy you a watch."

Dan Xiaojiao was surprised when she heard it: "Junzi, it's too expensive, there's no need for it. And we work in the courtyard, and there are clocks on the wall."

"Buy one, the sewing machine I bought for you last time, you gave it to Zhaodi." Lin Aijun said, stretching out his hand to play with Dan Xiaojiao's braid: "I finally got a ticket, it's a pity if I don't buy it gone."

"Junzi, watches are more important to men, just like sabers are to men in the middle world, so buy a men's watch and wear it."

"Xiaojiao, your birthday is coming soon, so I'll buy you a birthday present. Besides, I don't like wearing this when I work in the workshop. First, it's inconvenient, and second, it's too ostentatious."

Not long after he was promoted, he just got a watch and wore it everywhere. It really didn't fit his status, it wasn't necessary, it's better to keep a low profile.

In this regard, the benefits of being a low-key person are still obvious.

In this day and age, the more you flaunt your wealth, the faster you die.

And after all, he came from modern times, and his enthusiasm for watches is indeed not as great as that of people in this era.

Later, mobile phones also had the function of telling the time, and many people stopped wearing watches.

As Lin Aijun spoke, he took out the watch ticket from his pocket and handed it to the salesperson.

"Comrade, hello, please take a women's watch."

The salesperson took the watch ticket and checked it carefully. After receiving it, he took out a brand new watch from the cabinet and handed it to Dan Xiaojiao.

"Come on, try wearing it. This strap is adjustable. Try to see if it fits you well."

Once Xiaojiao stretched out her slender wrist, the salesperson put the watch on her hand and tried it on for her.

"Little girl, your lover is so kind to you! In our place, men's watches are much better sold than women's watches." The auntie salesperson couldn't help sighing when she heard the young couple's conversation.

Hearing what the salesperson said, Dan Xiaojiao also felt that her heart was warm and comfortable, and two touches of pink flew on her cheeks.

Sometimes what a woman wants is not a gift, but the heart she cares about.

Lin Aijun saw that Dan Xiaojiao was wearing it very well, and said straightforwardly: "Comrade, then buy this."

The salesperson agreed immediately, picked up a brush and wrote for a while, and opened a list.

Then he pointed to the cashier and said to Lin Aijun, "Just pay over there, and give me the bill after paying."

Lin Aijun looked in the direction the salesperson pointed and saw the cashier.

"Xiaojiao, you are waiting for me here. I will come as soon as I pay."

With that said, he turned and ran to the cashier counter.

The salesperson glanced at Lin Aijun's back, smiled and chatted with Dan Xiaojiao.

"Little girl, you have just got married, right? It looks like a newlywed at first glance."

"It's been almost a year." Dan Xiaojiao said, took off the watch from her hand, and handed it back to the salesperson.

"Well, let me just say, you can have children early while you are young." After taking the watch, the salesperson put it in a box and waited for Lin Aijun to pay and get the invoice back.

Once Xiaojiao heard the words, she blushed, good guy, during this chat, the salesperson aunt automatically assumed the identity of the confidant elder sister.

While talking, Lin Aijun came back with the invoice and pick-up list: "Comrade, here you are."

The salesperson reached out to take the pick-up slip, and handed the wrapped watch to Dan Xiaojiao.

"Xiaojiao, you have to judge the situation yourself. If it is suitable for you to wear at work, you can wear it. If you think it is too ostentatious, then you can wear it when you are resting at home." Lin Aijun said, and embraced Dan Xiaojiao's arms The shoulders want to go out.

Dan Xiaojiao nodded when she heard the words.

"Junzi, wait a minute, let's go around again, Zhaodi told me that he still wants some fabric."

"Okay, let's go for a turn."

So, the two left the watch counter and went to the cloth counter.

Suddenly, Dan Xiaojiao frowned when she saw a familiar figure.

"Junzi, look at that figure from the back, isn't it the uncle?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed Lin Aijun in a direction.

Lin Aijun looked in the direction Dan Xiaojiao pointed, and saw the back of the uncle.

Followed him to look around the uncle: "Sure enough, it is the uncle, alas, the uncle seems to be alone, the big mother didn't come with him!"

"Junzi, go over and say hello." Dan Xiaojiao suggested.

"Okay, let's go!" Lin Aijun nodded, and pulled Dan Xiaojiao towards the direction of the uncle.

I saw the old man walking into a place that sells baby products alone.

"Junzi, why is this uncle shopping for baby products?!" Dan Xiaojiao was shocked and shouted out in a low voice.

Lin Aijun was also shocked when he saw this.

Is the iron tree blooming? !
