Chapter 51 Buying a Watch
Long Jianhua put the sachet on the basket and walked behind his grandparents carrying the bucket.
After putting the things in the kitchen, grandma said, "Jianhua, hurry up and change your clothes and don't catch a cold."
Long Jianhua took down the sachet, took out the shrimps from the basket and placed them on the ground, and soon exposed the box, and whispered, "Grandpa, study this box... Be careful, it's more than fifty pounds, it's very heavy."
Grandma laughed and said, "Agarwood. Jianhua, why do you always surprise us? You will pick up treasures if you catch shrimp or touch a snail."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "Grandma, I don't know what's inside... I'll change my clothes first, and I'll cook shrimp later."
When he got off the clothes, grandma had already set the fire of the big stove, and half a pot of water was in the big pot, and he hurriedly said, "Grandma, take a rest, let me do it."
Grandma smiled and said, "I can't get tired of having a fire. I usually have three times a day. But you have been in the water for so long, so don't catch a cold."
Long Jian showed off his tendon, "Your grandson, I'm in good health."
As he said that, he poured the snails in the bucket on the ground, took half of the bucket of water, and put the surviving shrimps in; after putting a few pounds, he found two basins to fill half a basin of water, and then found the surviving shrimps to put in.
....
Seeing that there was no one in front of the counter, my mother Li Xiulin asked Pan Yuehua at the counter next to her in a low voice, "Yuehua, get me a Shanghai watch, the kind that costs fifty-seven."
Pan Yuehua took out a piece and walked over and handed it to Li Xiulin, and asked softly, "Who wants to buy this in your family?"
Li Xiulin smiled and said, "We Jianhua are back. He lives alone in a very remote location. He said he didn't know that it was dark early and wanted to buy a piece to see the time."
"Sister Xiulin, Jianhua lives a hard life there. I heard that their production team is close to the deep mountains and forests, and people are often eaten by wild animals. I heard that the mountains are so poor that they don't even have to eat, and they are all pale and thin, like tuberculosis. Didn't Jianhua become like that?"
Li Xiulin smiled in her heart. It was because her son arrived there that the quality of life at home suddenly improved.
The beast eats people? The family is eating the beast, and there is also a half-wild boar.
Jianhua has a pale face and a thin skin? Now he has much more promising than your children. He only costs 2,000 yuan. There is one in the mall. Which family can take out five hundred yuan?
Her relationship with Pan Yuehua is average, so she naturally won’t talk to her too much. She chuckled, “Jianhua is fine, but she has grown a little taller there…How much does it cost?”
"Fifty-seven yuan eight... Hey, Sister Xiulin, you buy him a watch, how should you live the next life? If you have an elderly person and a child, you will have to spend money if you have a slight coldness and brain pain... Bah, I'm not cursing you, everyone's the same."
"You know, the educated youth who went to the countryside will receive an eight yuan subsidy every month. Now he only needs to buy salt, matches and other small expenses. He will have work points at the end of the year. His life is almost the same... Please help me issue the invoice."
After Pan Yuehua issued the ticket, she took the fifty-eight yuan handed over by Li Xiulin, grabbed the clip on the wire above her head, clamped the ticket and the money together, and pushed it along the wire, and the clip swayed to the payment counter.
"This is the best. My nephew is in a miserable state. He can't eat enough and sleep well. He wrote a letter several times to ask for money, which made my brother and sister-in-law worry and his hair turned white."
Li Xiulin laughed, "Who said it wasn't? The life of going to the countryside was very hard. I heard him talk about farm work. I had to bear eight or ninety kilograms of loads for eight hours a day, and I just wanted to cry. However, I think it's good to exercise, it's good for the country and the family."
He turned to Bo Guihua at the same counter and said, "Guihua, I'll buy four bottles of Maotai and help me issue an invoice."
A trace of fear appeared in Bo Guihua's eyes. She quickly issued the ticket, took the money handed over by Li Xiulin, and clamped it with a clip to slide it to the collection.
Li Xiulin's ingredients are not good, while Bo Guihua is his ancestors have always been poor and have a strong roots. During the exercise, Li Xiulin adjusted from office position to counter, and the mall specially arranged the two of them at the same counter, asking Bo Guihua to monitor Li Xiulin. From then on, she picked the bones in the eggs and looked at Li Xiulin with a straight nose. Li Xiulin was very depressed.
The reason why Bo Guihua was very scared was that she and her husband were once smashed to death by Long Jianhua.
In April of 1975, one day, Long Jianhua heard his mother talk about work, and she cried as she talked.
The reason was that there were no customers before get off work, and Bo Guihua left and went wandering around. Li Xiulin remembered that there was no alcohol at home, so she issued a ticket to buy a bottle of wine. Unexpectedly, she found out and sued the mall director and said that Li Xiulin had stolen the wine from the public. Fortunately, Li Xiulin, who had been careful, had a shopping mall sales order and payment receipt, which cleared the suspicion.
After hearing this, Long Jianhua was furious. After spending a few days to find out her life trajectory, he called about a dozen classmates at the end of May, and intercepted her and her husband and smashed her, which made both of them unable to get up.
After the fight, Long Jianhua ran to Li Chungang and told him the whole story.
Later, Bo Guihua and his wife went to report the case, and the police station quickly found Long Jianhua and twelve children. After investigation, the police station concluded that Bo Guihua's husband rode a bicycle and hit someone first. She then spoke rudely, which caused the children to take action.
He scolded the couple and said that they had no quality and actually bullied the child. He was even less capable and was beaten like this by the child and came to the police station to report the case. Finally, he decided that since both sides were injured, they would spend money to heal the wounds.
Shortly after both sides left the police station, just after a corner, Long Jianhua and his party quickly caught up with the couple. A classmate picked up a big stone from the ground and slammed her husband's back, roaring, "You dare to hit me just after leaving the police station? Kill you!"
A group of students rushed up and beat them to the ground and couldn't get up. Bo Guihua lay on the ground and cried loudly.
Before leaving, a classmate pointed at Bo Guihua and said, "If I make my Aunt Li unhappy in the future, I will beat you so hard that you can't go to work or get off the floor!"
Only then did she realize that the other person had a purpose, and the goal was her.
A small citizen is not afraid of good people, but fears of gangsters and people who are not afraid of death. Since then, she never dared to make things difficult for Li Xiulin, so she can only work carefully.
Li Xiulin felt very strange herself. Bo Guihua didn't come to work for nine consecutive days. After work, she became much better at herself and became much silent.
However, she still strictly followed the rules and grasped the details of her work well, and did not give others the opportunity to take advantage of...
After dinner, after all the family came back, Long Jianhua brought out a large bowl of braised prawns, a small basin of stir-fried snails, and stewed lilies with pork ribs and stir-fried loofah.
