Money life

Chapter 226 Five Yuan

Yang Qianqian's thoughts went back to the day when she got Doraemon.

It was one night, she went to the night market with her father, it was her first time to visit the night market.

There are many people in the night market, she doesn't like it very much.

Her father's pace was very fast, she grabbed his father's clothes and followed him in a half-run.

In the crowded night market, she was very afraid that her father would leave her here.

She followed her father closely, and his pace became faster and faster.

When she was nervously walking forward with her father, Father Yang stopped suddenly, and then led her to a roadside stall.

The stall sold vegetables, and Yang Qianqian thought her father was going to buy vegetables, so she stood beside him silently.

There is also a yellow Doraemon doll on the booth, it is not very big, about [-] centimeters.

Yang Qianqian likes plush toys very much, but she has never played with plush toys, and she especially wants the dolls on the booth.

She looked at her father with anticipation in her eyes.

Father Yang didn't look at her, but set his eyes on the Doraemon doll, hesitated for a moment, pointed at the Doraemon doll, and asked, "Is this doll for sale? How much is it?" "

Yang Qianqian was stunned for a moment. Although she was looking forward to her father buying a Doraemon doll for her, she didn't have any hope in her heart. After all, her parents generally didn't care about her, let alone buy her toys.

"Five yuan." The stall owner was a man in his 40s.

"Can it be cheaper?" Father Yang thought it was too expensive.

"No. At least five yuan." The stall owner was straightforward.

"How can this be worth five yuan? Can it be sold for three yuan? If it is for sale, I will buy it." Father Yang said.

"Five yuan is already the cheapest, and three yuan can't be sold." The stall owner shook his head.

Father Yang turned around and was about to leave, but Yang Qianqian held him and did not move.

She really wanted a doll of her own. Her friends all had dolls, but she didn't. She watched her friends play with dolls, and she liked and envied her very much.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Father Yang looked at her and said impatiently, "Come back with me. I need so much money for a broken doll."

"I want it." Yang Qianqian said in a low voice.

She really likes dolls, and her greatest wish is to have a doll of her own, which she can hug every day and treat it like a family member.

Father Yang looked at Yang Qianqian's cautious but eager eyes, and hesitated for a moment.

"You see your daughter likes it, so you can buy it. It's only five yuan, and you can make it back in one day." Seeing that there is a business, the stall owner persuaded cheerfully.

But Father Yang hesitated and didn't make up his mind.

"Not willing to buy five yuan? What kind of father is this?" Hearing this, Xiao Hang said unwillingly.

"The five yuan back then cannot be compared with the five yuan now. The five yuan at that time was much more valuable than the five yuan now." Zhang Yanjiang said.

"How much is it worth? It's just a meal, right?" Xiao Hang couldn't understand.

"Don't underestimate the money for a meal. For the poor, the money for a meal is so rare." Zhang Yanjiang has not been very wealthy since he was a child, so he can better understand the thinking of the poor.

Although Xiao Hang's life was not very rich when he was a child, he lived a well-off life. Later, he even had a small amount of capital and lived in a small villa. He has never lived in poverty since he was a child, and he can't understand the significance of that five yuan to a poor person. what is it.

Aoxue glanced at Zhang Yanjiang, but she couldn't understand what the five yuan meant to Yang Qianqian's father. She only thought that since Yang's father hesitated, it meant that he didn't love Yang Qianqian, so she hesitated.

"Isn't it just five yuan? What's there? If I would definitely buy it for my daughter without hesitation." Aoxue's tone was somewhat contemptuous.

Zhang Yanjiang sighed secretly. Fortunately, Bai Xinghan and Wang Ruoyan were not here at this time. If they were here, I don't know what they would think when they heard that Yang Qianqian's father hesitated for five yuan.

Thinking about it, they couldn't understand Father Yang's thoughts.

"Why do you pay attention to five yuan? Shouldn't you be concerned that a doll only sells for five yuan?" Zhang Yanjiang glanced at Yang Qianqian and said.

A doll only sells for five yuan, what kind of doll is that?

Zhang Yanjiang has been exposed to these toys since he was a child, so naturally he can't understand why a doll only sells for five yuan. It's so cheap that he might not be able to wholesale it.

In addition, he wondered if buying a doll should not go to a toy store?Why buy at a stall?Or a vegetable seller?When did the seller of vegetables also sell dolls?
Hearing his question, Xiao Hang and Aoxue also realized that something was wrong, and looked at Yang Qianqian suspiciously.

Yang Qianqian looked a little embarrassed, and explained: "In the past, there were dolls sold at many wild stalls. The dolls were not new, they were played with by their children, cleaned and sold, and they were sold very cheaply."

"Is there such a thing?" Aoxue blinked, she had never heard of such a thing.

Zhang Yanjiang was not surprised, he had heard such things before, thought it was fake, and didn't care.

Yang Qianqian was a little embarrassed, compared to Aoxue, she was really poor.

In the past, old dolls were indeed sold at many stalls, and they were sold very cheaply, which also benefited many children from poor families.

It’s not that some families can’t afford dolls, but because dolls are generally too expensive, they are reluctant to buy them, so the old ones are sold at wild stalls for only a few dollars, which is still affordable for ordinary families, and it’s harmless and can be Buy dolls for children to play with.

Now that the economy is good, no matter how bad the family is, they will buy new dolls, and the current dolls are also cheap, so there is no market for buying and selling old dolls.

Yang Qianqian's Doraemon doll was an old one, but at that time, her father was still hesitating whether to buy it or not.

Five yuan was really enough for their family to have a meal at that time.

"Did your father buy it for you later?" Xiao Hang asked.

Yang Qianqian nodded and said, "I bought it."

Father Yang hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't intend to take it. He thought it was too expensive, so he said to Yang Qianqian, "I'll buy it for you next time I see a cheap one. I won't want it this time."

With that said, he pulled her to leave.

Yang Qianqian didn't know what was wrong, she just wanted to, and stood still.

"obedient."

"I want it." She looked at the Doraemon doll, very reluctant, as if if she didn't buy it this time, she would lose it next time.

"You see your daughter wants it so much, so you can buy it. Five yuan can buy your daughter's happiness, and it's worth it." Saying this, the stall owner handed the doll to Yang Qianqian.

Yang Qianqian did not go to pick up the doll, but looked at her father with anticipation in her eyes.

"Let's make it cheaper." Seeing that his daughter really wanted it, Father Yang bargained.

"It's really not cheap." The stall owner pretended to be embarrassed.

"Sell it to me for three yuan. This doll is old. If my daughter didn't like it, I wouldn't want it. Sell it for three yuan." Father Yang said.

The stall owner looked embarrassed and said, "Four yuan."

"Three yuan. If you want to sell it, I'll buy it. If you don't sell it, forget it." After speaking, he pulled Yang Qianqian and was about to leave.
