Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

At this time of the year, most people in the capital only go to two places to buy things, one is the Wangfujing Department Store and the other is the Di'anmen Shopping Mall.

Chu Jianghe and the others had money in their hands. They had long dragged on their classmates or asked Zhang Li and the others to find some scalpers to buy some tickets, mostly cloth tickets, candy tickets and some industrial coupons. They were ready to make a good purchase and then go back happily. Chinese New Year at home.

Early the next morning, the four of them set out for the department store in Wangfujing. The four of them rode two bicycles, one of which was borrowed from another classmate.

It was still some time before the Chinese New Year, but when they arrived at Wangfujing Department Store, the people inside were already crowded, especially the long queues in front of the counters for buying fabrics and candies.

Even though Chinese people are usually very frugal, on a festive day like the Spring Festival, their usual frugal temperament disappears and they dare to spend the money they have saved for a year.

If it weren't for the fact that the supply is still based on tickets, Chu Jianghe doubts that these people would be able to sell out the counters in front of you.

Nowadays, most people buy fabrics and make their own clothes, and few buy ready-made clothes. You can put aside the food during the Chinese New Year. Wearing new clothes is the highest level.

Many families only have new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year. They usually save cloth tickets, and when the Chinese New Year comes, they will pull out some fabrics and make them at home or find someone with good handicrafts to make them.

Clothes are new three years old and mended three years later. This is a common phenomenon in ordinary people's homes.

There are many children in the family and they cannot afford new clothes. The older ones wear them out, so they change them for the younger ones to wear.

Wang Jianye and others also had the same idea. They wanted to buy fabric first.

Regardless of how much money they made, they were still as frugal as usual in their food and drink expenses. As long as the clothes they wore were wearable, they never thought of changing into better ones.

Therefore, their clothes were a bit shabby, which was in sharp contrast to the bright and bright clothes of the people around them. Many people looked at them sideways.

They don't care about this, they are not young, and they are not the kind of people who love vanity.

This life is like a person knowing whether he is warm or cold when drinking water. There is no need to care about the eyes of others.

Even though they were not well-dressed, when they arrived at Wangfujing Department Store, they all looked very bold and unrestrained when they thought about buying things for their families. As long as they looked good, they would pay and pay without batting an eye. This action caused many people to cast strange looks at them.

I didn't expect them to be poorly dressed, but they were really generous. The things they consumed alone were enough for a dozen people.

After waiting in line for a long time, everyone bought a lot of fabrics. Then they went back to queue and bought a lot of candies. They all laughed when they looked at the things in their hands.

"Thanks to Jiang He, otherwise we can't even think about how we could live such a prosperous year."

Sun Xiangdong, the eldest, sighed with emotion. He held the things in his hands and looked left and right but couldn't see enough.

I don't dare to enter a department store on weekdays. Even if I come in, it will open my eyes and I won't think about buying anything.

Now, if you take these things home, your family will surely blame you for spending money indiscriminately. But who makes him have money now? Isn’t the money a man earns just for his family to spend?

Thinking of the children in his family who were happy to see him take them back, Sun Xiangdong had a bright smile on his face.

Wang Jianye and Feng Yuhui were also very satisfied with what they bought, and nodded with a smile: "That's right."

There are not many people in their family, so the things they buy are a little less than Sun Xiangdong.

Who told them to be unmarried now? Sun Xiangdong has two children, a son and a daughter who are still in their hometown.

"It has nothing to do with me. It's all earned by my brothers."

Speaking of this, Chu Jianghe was still a little embarrassed. Compared with the remuneration given to a few of them, he earned much more than the remuneration given to them. Otherwise, he should still be the boss.

A few people talked and laughed. Although they usually didn't say anything grateful to Chu Jianghe, they all remembered it in their hearts.

In their opinion, anyone could do the task of editing teaching assistants. They had no clue at first, so they completed it under the leadership of Chu Jianghe.

The most important thing is that if you can compile this teaching aid, you must be able to sell it. It is easy for them to compile teaching aids, but selling it still depends on others, so they all recognize this relationship.

Chu Jianghe also held a lot of things in his hands. Thinking that he had finally visited the department store, he was going to buy more. He asked them, "I'm going to go shopping again to see if I can buy anything. What about you?"

Sun Xiangdong also agreed: "Let's go together and I'll take a look and buy something."

Wang Jianye and Feng Yuhui were self-confident and agreed to hang out again. They both rarely came here to hang out.

Now that I have money in my hands and confidence in my heart, I can go shopping for a while.

Chu Jianghe mainly wanted to buy some more things for his wife and parents, and Mr. Song had not been there to see him. He was going home soon, so he had to go to their house no matter what, otherwise he should Said he was rude.

Reporters Xu and Li Jinming also wanted to thank them no matter what. As for whether to visit before the year before or after the year, he was a little unsure.

A few people walked around again and added a lot of things to their hands.

Sun Xiangdong bought two new schoolbags for his children, and Wang Jianye and the others also bought some small things.

However, Chu Jianghe stopped in front of the wardrobe counter. He was interested in a woolen coat, a light brown double-breasted style. This style could not be found in their county, and his wife would definitely wear it. nice.

Chu Jianghe pointed to the coat and asked the price: "Hello, comrade, how much does this dress cost?"

When the salesperson saw his homely appearance, he snorted softly from his nose and said with obvious arrogance: "Comrade, this is woolen cloth, and it's not cheap. Not only do you need cloth tickets, but you also need industrial coupons." Woolen cloth."

Salespersons in state-owned stores are all organized, and there is indeed something wrong with this service attitude. Ordinary people can only live with it.

Hearing this, Chu Jianghe just frowned slightly. No wonder many state-owned companies have gone bankrupt in later generations. With this service attitude, it would be strange if they didn't go bankrupt.

Wang Jianye over there also noticed this situation and wanted to reason with the salesperson, but was stopped by Chu Jianghe.

It's not worth being angry with this kind of person.

Chu Jianghe took out a wad of bills from his pocket and asked directly, "How much does one cost?"

Seeing these money tickets, the salesperson knew that he had made a mistake. He didn't expect this guy in inconspicuous clothes to pay so much money. However, the service attitude was still not much better, so he quoted a price casually.

"150 yuan a piece."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Jianghe with casual eyes. The meaning was very obvious. I told you the price, but you may not be willing to buy it.

Chu Jianghe was not surprised when he heard the price, but Wang Jianye and the others next to him took a deep breath. A piece of clothing was almost as much as a bicycle.

Chu Jianghe patiently told the salesperson the sizes: "Bring me three pieces."

One for my wife and one for my mother.

He planned to give the remaining piece to Reporter Xu. After all, she had helped him a lot, so he had to thank him anyway, so he happened to buy one more piece.

As for Li Jinming and Mr. Song, they have to think carefully about what they want to give.
