Material Empire

If Qin Hai had to make another choice, he would never let Tranquility, Qin Shan and Wang Xiaochen sit in the jeep at the same time. The three girls just went through a very short period of restraint before they became hot with each other. On the way from Qingfeng factory to the county seat, the three girls chattered like fifteen hundred ducks rushing into the pond at the same time, making Qin Hai's head explode from the noise.

In Qin Hai's impression, the eldest sister, Qin Shan, is a relatively quiet girl, while her counterpart, Wang Xiaochen, is a bit more talkative, but at least she is a dutiful and conservative rural girl. But when they get together with the lively girl like Tranquility, they are quickly mobilized. Any little joke that is not funny at all can make the three of them laugh up and down, making the silent Qin Hai look like Like a fool.

Among them, of course, tranquility is the most active. She was originally a lively girl, and usually spoke in front of Qin Hai in a somewhat unobtrusive manner. This time, when she saw that Qin Hai had brought her own younger sister, she felt a faint sense of rivalry in her heart, so she acted more positively.

Arriving at the entrance of Pingyuan Department Store, Qin Hai stopped the car and took the three girls into the store. Qin Shan's eyes were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods, and she couldn't move her feet. Tranquility took the lead, leading everyone to browse counter by counter, and at the same time kept giving advice to the brothers and sisters of the Qin family:

Qin Hai, look how beautiful this washbasin is, don't you want to buy one for Shanshan?

Qin Hai, there is a discounted floral cloth, you don't need a cloth ticket, you can buy a piece for Shanshan to make clothes...

Shanshan, this Pujiang soap is very fragrant, it's perfect for girls to wash their face...

I don't know how the girls can get acquainted so quickly, Qin Shan changed into Shanshan in Tranquility's mouth in a blink of an eye, and the person who called and the person who answered didn't feel at all out of harmony. On the contrary, Qin Hai felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it, and he couldn't find a reason to object.

Xiao Jing, I don't need to buy such a good thing, it's very expensive... Qin Shan followed behind Tranquility, somewhat timidly. She had visited the department store in the county town of Jiangshan a few times, but otherwise she only bought things in the town. Seeing so many colorful products, and looking at the handwritten price tags attached to them, she felt very stressed.

Actually...you don't need to buy colored shells for hot water bottles, the mesh ones are much cheaper... Wang Xiaochen walked beside Qin Hai and murmured a suggestion. What's the use of being pretty?

It's okay, as long as Xiaoshan likes it. Qin Hai laughed, and just paid for it. The advance payment for the military purchase of military shovels will be credited to the account immediately. By then, he will be a rich man with a fortune of 100,000. Does he still need to consider saving three or five yuan to buy a hot water bottle?

Xiao Jing, I also think that you can just buy a hot water bottle with this kind of mesh. The colorful shell is so expensive. Qin Shan whispered to Tranquility.

Tranquility put her mouth next to Qin Shan's ear and said, Don't worry, your brother is rich. Listen to my brother, your brother will become a millionaire soon.

Qin Hai promised Ning Mo and the others a huge amount of dividends. Ning Mo was so proud that he told his younger sister the news as usual when he got home, and then told his younger sister to keep it a secret and not mention it to his parents. Maybe it was because the amount of money Ning Mo said was too appalling, Tranquility actually made an exception this time and didn't tell her parents, but she couldn't hold back such news in her heart. When she saw Qin Shan, she naturally wanted to reveal something.

Qin Shan had already heard Qin Hai talk about the iron and steel plant. Although she didn't know how rich the profits could be, she could still imagine the level of ten thousand yuan households. She turned her head and glanced at Qin Hai, and then said to Tranquility in the same low voice: My brother said that if you have money, you can't spend it recklessly, you should save it for expansion and reproduction.

Ah? He wants to expand reproduction? Isn't that going to be a capitalist? Tranquility asked in surprise.

I don't know, it can't be a capitalist... Didn't I say in the political class that the central government advocates the coexistence of multiple economic forms? My brother and the others should be regarded as... Qin Shan began to use her poor political common sense Defending Qin Hai.

Have you also learned resolution? Our teacher said that this college entrance examination must be taken.

We have also learned, but the teacher said, maybe when we take the college entrance examination, we will hold a new meeting, and then we will not take this decision.

No, our teacher said that this resolution is a programmatic document, and it will not be changed in the past few years.

Really, your teacher must know more than our teacher...

Uh... do you know what they are talking about? Qin Hai looked at Wang Xiaochen helplessly. He could only find Wang Xiaochen as an ally. For the purpose of shopping, Qin Hai's mind couldn't keep up with the rapid changes in his thinking.

The two of them study hard, my younger brother doesn't work as hard as them. Wang Xiaochen looked at Ning Jing and Qin Shan enviously, and said to Qin Hai.

Okay... Qin Hai was speechless. This is an era when the whole people pay attention to education. He has already felt it when he was in Qingfeng Factory, including Xiang Jiyong and Leng Yuming, and they got together to talk about children. There is also much more time for education than for talking about production or technology.

After visiting the department store, under Wang Xiaochen's direction, everyone went to the hardware store to purchase household items such as iron buckets and iron pans. This trip to shopping was very fruitful. Fortunately, Qin Hai drove a jeep. Except for the space for people to sit in, the car was full of other places. Each of the three girls was holding something in their arms, but they were all excited. abnormal.

In a Hong Kong goods store named Xinxin, Qin Hai bought a beautiful red gauze scarf for each of the three girls. Tranquility happily accepted it immediately, and regardless of the scorching heat of summer, she tied it at that time. on her slender neck. Qin Shan was half happy and half distressed about the money, but since Qin Hai bought it for everyone, as a younger sister, it was inconvenient for her to object, so she timidly imitated a quiet look and tied the scarf around her neck .

The most embarrassing thing is Wang Xiaochen. As a 20-year-old girl, the most popular scarf among fashionable girls has appeared in her dreams countless times, but the high price of 5 yuan a piece makes her daunting. . When Qin Hai handed the scarf to her, she rejected it with a very fierce attitude, and almost left behind everyone.

Sister Xiaochen, just accept it. You see, Xiaojing and I have both, so you can accept it too. It's rare for my brother to be generous... Qin Shan was beating the side drum.

He's your brother, I... Wang Xiaochen tried desperately to find a reason to refuse.

What about me? Tranquility stepped forward and said with a smile, Sister Xiaochen, if you don't accept it, I'm too embarrassed to accept it, but I really like this kind of scarf. I asked my mother to buy it for me. She refused many times, it's rare for Qin Hai to be generous, so you can accept it.

This... Wang Xiaochen was not a person who was good at debating, but when Tranquility said this, she was a little bit hard to persevere. Tranquility said that if she didn't accept it, Tranquility would be too embarrassed to accept it. If Tranquility cannot accept this veil because of her, wouldn't Tranquility be angry with her? But take it... what is this title?

Xiaochen, don't be embarrassed. In fact, I gave you this scarf to bribe you. Xiaojing's brother Ningmo and I are fat people. We borrowed the place of the steel factory to smelt some scrap steel and make some Small things for sale. There may be some flaw detection work involved in the middle, and I may ask you to help out after work. This scarf is considered as an advance deposit. When we ask you to do things in the future, we will pay you .” Qin Hai said.

Okay, okay. Wang Xiaochen quickly replied, If you want me to help, just call me anytime, as long as I have time, I will go. I don't want the reward, and I will accept this scarf. , thank you Qin Haiha.

Qin Hai, you are too much! Tranquility scolded Qin Hai with staring eyes, You actually used a scarf to trick Sister Xiaochen into helping you, it's too cheap. No, Sister Xiaochen, you Make sure they pay you!

No, no, it's not easy for Qin Hai and the others to do something without spending money. Wang Xiaochen replied.

Qin Hai drove Wang Xiaochen and Tranquility back to Qingfeng Factory first, and then returned to the steel factory with Qin Shan and a car full of things.

Qin Shan sat on the front passenger seat, turned her head to look at the piles of daily necessities on the back seat, and asked with some anxiety, Brother, did you spend too much money today?

Huh? No. Qin Hai replied casually while driving.

I calculated it, and it cost 520 yuan. Qin Shan whispered. When she was shopping just now, Qin Shan followed Qin Hai, silently counting how much her brother spent. Seeing the big unity sent out one by one, she just felt terrified.

Qin Hai smiled and said, We're going to build a new home. What's the point of spending more than 500 yuan? When our factory earns money, we'll have to buy refrigerators, TV sets, washing machines, and air conditioners. Just one refrigerator costs thousands of dollars. How much, do the math, do we need to haggle over every detail when we buy a thermos?

Oh... Qin Shan fell silent. She knew that some wealthy urbanites had refrigerators and color TVs in their homes, and she probably knew the prices. My brother is already a city resident, and it is foreseeable to buy refrigerators and color TVs in the future. Qin Shan felt inexplicably in a trance when she thought that there were such advanced things in her home.

But...these three scarves could have been skipped. Qin Shan caressed the scarves around her neck and said to Qin Hai.

I saw the three of you looked at the Xinxin store for a long time, and you all said it looked good. Qin Hai said.

Qin Shan said: We girls, when we see something beautiful, we must like it. But such an expensive thing, who is willing to spend money to buy it.

So I bought it for you guys. Isn't the role of boys to help girls spend money? Qin Hai said with a smile.

Brother, I want to ask you something. Qin Shan said mysteriously.

What's the matter? Qin Hai asked.

Qin Shan said: Are you dating Wang Xiaochen?

Pfft! Qin Hai almost spat a mouthful of old blood on the windshield, Sister, your imagination is too rich, it's a waste of talent if you don't write novels.

I'm serious, I think she's pretty good, she's in good shape, she's pretty, and she's also very capable... Qin Shan quickly summed up some advantages for Wang Xiaochen.

Stop it. First of all, I'm only 18 years old now, and I'm not ready to fall in love. Secondly, if I want to fall in love, I don't choose a model worker. I don't choose whoever is capable. Love is a matter of feeling. Yes, Wang Xiaochen gives me the feeling that she is a neighbor... big sister.

Well, I also think sister Xiaochen is not suitable for my sister-in-law. She has low education and is not good enough for you. Qin Shan quickly sold out her new friend. It can't be blamed on Qin Shan's snobbery. From the perspective of a high school student with good academic performance, an uneducated female worker like Wang Xiaochen is indeed not worthy of the capable Qin Hai.

You can't say that. Qin Haidao, However, I really don't have feelings for her.

Brother, I think Xiao Jing is pretty good. She has good grades, and she will definitely be able to go to college in the future. Qin Shan changed the subject again.

Qin Hai nodded: Well, this girl is pretty good.

You really think so? Qin Shan asked in surprise.

Qin Hai faintly felt something was wrong: Xiaoshan, what do you mean? What do you mean I really think so?

Do you really want to chase Xiaojing? Qin Shan asked.

Snapped!

Qin Hai freed a hand from the steering wheel, and slapped his sister on the head: You are too gossip, I'm still a high school student, okay. No wonder you don't read well, and you think about these things all day long. I Let me tell you, before the college entrance examination, if you dare to think about falling in love, I will beat you to death without my father doing it.

Why hit someone on the head? It will make people stupid. Qin Shan rubbed her head and protested, Who said that he is going to fall in love? He is thinking of helping you. You are the only child in the family, parents Every day I hope that you will get married early and have grandchildren for them, or they won't bother to take care of your business...
