Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Chapter 54: Shopping at the store, uniforms added

After Xu Fugui left, Xu Wanjun, who was hiding in the corridor, slowly came back and sat in front of the bed.

Xu Damao felt aggrieved and the food in his mouth tasted like wax. "Sister, our dad has been transferred to the cinema and his life is over. He is just waiting to retire in two or three years and enjoy a peaceful life. You and your husband don't have to worry about food and clothing, but it's difficult for me."

In public institutions, everyone has their own job.

In order to find a job for his son, Xu Fugui used a lot of connections to get transferred to the factory cinema as a projectionist, with the purpose of leaving a position for Xu Damao.

Now Xu Damao is not doing well enough. If he wants to continue working as a projectionist, he can only take his father's job.

Xu Wanjun, who knew what her brother was thinking, raised her eyebrows and said, "I won't go and get into trouble. He's in good health. If he doesn't want to let go, no matter what anyone says, it's useless."

"Don't let go? Then the Xu family will be extinct. Anyway, I don't want to be a foundry worker."

Speaking of this, Xu Damao's teeth itched with hatred, and he simply turned his head away, thinking about how to force his father to abdicate...

The department store is noisy and bustling.

It was the weekend, and the place was crowded with customers who had been waiting for a long time.

Li Weijun arrived early and relied on his tall and strong figure to stand in the front. In front of him, behind him, on his left and right were basically young wives waiting to buy supplies.

In the era of material scarcity, eating eggs was a luxury.

Some scarce materials are in short supply even with tickets.

Now is the time to test your arm and leg strength.

Seeing that the department store was about to open, Li Weijun took two steps at a time and strode to the counter selling bicycles.

"Lady, please give me a Phoenix brand bicycle with a large bar. I want one with a shiny paint job and big wheels. I don't want a dull one."

The saleswoman took the receipt and the money without even raising her eyelids: "If you want to buy a bicycle, you must also buy ten solar lighters and an air pump."

"Solar-powered lighter?"

Li Weijun, who was trying out a bicycle, was stunned. In this day and age, even this kind of futuristic technology exists?

Curiously, I turned my head and saw something!

The so-called solar lighter looks exactly like a magnifying glass, with a round head and a short handle. Who has the spare time to buy ten of these?

I frowned and was about to refuse, but the saleswoman pointed to the complaint book on the wall and said, "If you want to complain, just write it down. If you don't have money, don't buy it. If you can't even afford the extras, why buy a bicycle? You can only use your feet to mess around."

"I can afford it, but it depends on my mood. I have paid for this bike and got the ticket, so I have to ride it."

Li Weijun laughed out of anger, and then he looked at the other customers who seemed to be used to it. He understood that bundling sales was probably a common practice for these salesmen.

Everyone wants to buy the products they like, and those that no one is interested in can't just sit there gathering dust, so many salespeople simply mix and match items and sell them.

It's no different from the banditry of forced buying and selling.

As for the suggestion book, it is no different from the principal's mailbox in later generations. It is purely a scam.

There are signs in restaurants prohibiting beating or scolding customers, but few people get beaten while eating?

Li Weijun was too lazy to tolerate these people's temper, so he pushed the bicycle out regardless of their obstruction.

At this point, the saleswoman also realized that she had hit a wall.

He stamped his feet in anger and went to find the nearest officer on duty.

When Li Weijun saw her going to call for help, he just felt funny.

In those days, steel rolling mills were the same as important departments such as railways, with an independent team.

There are security departments, militia companies, factory hospitals, factory cinemas, clubs, and even anti-aircraft machine guns.

Not to mention that he had not broken the law. Even if he had, the only one who could deal with him was the security department of the steel mill.

He found the salesman who was selling watches and handed over the receipt and money fiercely: "It's a Shanghai brand steel watch. Didn't you ask me to complain in the opinion book? Then I'll tell you, if you have any problem, just go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to complain to our factory director. My name is Xu Damao, whoever is afraid of me is a grandson!"

The girl was frail and delicate, and after being scolded by Li Weijun, she was afraid that the burly man would punch her, so she took out the watch box tremblingly.

Li Weijun was very satisfied when he saw this. What a great service attitude! There was no more bundling sales or procrastination.

Some people are just mean and they just have to make people angry.

Wearing the big steel watch that sparkled in the sunlight on his wrist, Li Weijun got on his bicycle and rode away.

As for the subsequent department store looking for people, there is no need to panic at all.

It would be rare for Director Yang to pay any attention to the department store.

After leaving the department store, I rode my bike through the winding alleys, looking at the envious eyes of passers-by, and felt very happy.

Fortunately, the department store was close to the Traffic Management Bureau, and Li Weijun spent some money to get a license plate on his bicycle, which allowed him to legally ride on the road.

Thinking that he had to go to his cheap relative Li Huaide's house for lunch at noon, Li Weijun found the nearest supply and marketing cooperative, picked out a bottle of good wine and a pack of high-end cigarettes, and spent a lot of money to buy a few pairs of glass-heeled stockings and a few feet of smooth satin before leaving with satisfaction.

The good cigarettes and good wine are naturally given to Li Huaide as a gift to show his filial piety, although this man is a drinker, whore and gambler, and has all the five vices.

But you can't help but feel that they are willing to take the money to do real things, and they are very generous to their subordinates and confidants. If you stick to them more, there will only be benefits and no harm.

As for the glass heelless stockings and the torn pieces of silk, that was entirely due to Li Weijun's personal preference.

Women naturally love beauty, and I think Mrs. Li has no resistance to this thing.

After putting the purchased items into his personal space, Li Weijun rode his bicycle to find an old tailor shop and briefly described the type of uniform he wanted to have made.

What about the hollow silk bellyband, the purple veil, the glazed colorful skirt, the silk shoes, and the dark purple embroidered tasseled long whip.

"Old lady, this is our factory. The opera house has requirements for dance performances. You have to be careful and make sure to leave a slit in the middle of the colorful skirt. I have a use for it."

"What the hell? There's a slit in the middle of a nice skirt?"

This unusual request stunned the old lady, who was already a senior citizen. She was about to refuse with her blurry eyes.

But he couldn't resist Li Weijun's generous reward, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

It’s just that I haven’t made clothes of this style in a long time, so it will take a month or so.

Li Weijun did not urge her. He let Qin Huairu wear the glass stockings she had just bought to relieve her greasy feeling these days.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t find the slender high heels and plain white shirt that I liked in the department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.

After taking care of the uniform that he promised to Qin Huairu, Li Weijun rode his bike to Beihai Park for a stroll.

It was almost time for dinner, and she went to visit Li Huaide, carrying some good cigarettes, good wine, and some local specialties from the space.

Li Huaide lives in a two-story Western-style building with red bricks and black tiles, and a black Beetle car is parked in front of the door.
