On the second day of their wedding, at seven o'clock in the morning, "General" knocked on the door of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's room. And when they saw the "general" standing in front of their house with sleepy eyes, they all felt incredible and even asked him what happened.

The "general" was embarrassed when he saw that they hadn't gotten up yet and said it was okay.

Hong Yanwu caught the topic and said with a playful smile, "Are you okay if you got up so early? Where is my sister-in-law? She is...very good?"

The "general" blushed when he heard the meaning of the words. "Whether it's good or not depends on what you say. Do we have to stay in bed to be normal?"

Hong Yanwu couldn't help laughing. "Eating and drinking, men and women, have great desires. Normal people think it is wonderful, but who would be willing to leave the bed?"

"Isn't it wonderful? You'll know when you get a wife. Then you'll have to experience it yourself."

Don’t tell me, people seem to become smarter as soon as they get married. The "general" responded to Hong Yanwu's ridicule with ease and did not suffer at all.

But having said that, he was also passive in getting up early today. Mainly because Han Ying was embarrassed and afraid of being laughed at, so she pulled him out of bed early and tidied up the room. And the reason why he came to Hong Yanwu was to inquire about something.

It turned out that when "General" and Han Ying finished washing and having breakfast, Han Ying mentioned to him that she wanted to buy a radio.

In those days, due to limited financial capacity, most ordinary families would choose one or two things to get married first among the "three turns and one ring".

Han Ying is a very stable girl who can manage a family. She knows that there are many places where you need to spend money to live outside, and industrial vouchers are difficult to obtain. She also wants to follow suit, and has no intention of following the "three transfers" as Xiang Hong said. As soon as it rings, everything is ready. It's just that the thing she chose is exactly what everyone thinks is the most unrealistic.

Of course the "general" would not object. Thinking of the recent rush and not buying a "big item" for Han Ying, he felt even more indebted. After thinking that the sewing machine was not needed for the time being and that the bicycle brothers had already given it to her, he said that he would buy her another watch.

I don’t want Han Ying to still insist on buying only radios. She said that solving the problem of spiritual entertainment was the most important thing to her, because when "General" went to the beach, she would definitely get bored. As for the rest. There’s no rush, I’ll just add the same thing later. The only thing that makes her undecided now is which brand to buy.

The "general" was not good at this either. When he changed his mind, he thought of Hong Yanwu. It is said that the people in the capital are well-informed and must know what is good, so they came to the door.

Hong Yanwu was happy. After hearing this, he said to the "general", "After attending the wedding, it's time for the "sea bumpers" who live in the fishing village to go home today. We might as well go shopping in the mall later. By the way, we can all have dinner together at noon. Once. As for the industrial coupons, you don’t have to worry about them. There are people secretly exchanging and selling them at the door of the store. This is how the bicycle thing was handled. It’s rare that Han Ying is a real person who is not vain at all, so you can take advantage of it. ”

This arrangement is both appropriate and touches the "general's" "itchy flesh". It really makes the "general" feel beautiful in his heart.

In this way, around eight o'clock in the morning, the four people staying at the "Shengli Guesthouse" met up with other "Hai Bangzi" and went to Jinmen Street together.

Like Dashilan, Wangfujing and Xidan in Beijing, Bincheng also has its own well-known business circle, which is Jinmen Street.

Here, there are various professional shops, large and small restaurants, as well as cinemas, bathhouses and photo studios. What's more, there is also a comprehensive Bincheng Department Store. So if you want to buy products that suit your needs in Bincheng, this is the best choice.

Sure enough, the radio counter in the department store is the place with the most comprehensive range of products in Bincheng, unlike small stores with a single variety, where shortages are the norm. At that time, local brands "Shanghai", "Feile", "Panda", "Red Lantern", "Peony", "Yangtze River", "Changfeng", "Yongmei", "Yingchun", "Friendship", "Seagull" ", "Haiyan" and "Gem Flower" are basically available.

However, this also made the selection more difficult. Both "General" and Han Ying suffered from "choice disorder" and really didn't know which one to choose. Moreover, in this era, it is up to the salesperson to look at the goods. If a buyer wants to compare carefully and ask questions repeatedly, he will be embarrassed.

Fortunately, Hong Yanwu gave them another suggestion just right. He said that according to his opinion, when choosing a radio, the first thing to do is to receive clear channels and have good quality. The second is to have more bands, so that if new broadcast stations are added in the future, they will not be unable to receive it. The last point is to be small, not only for portability and ease of use, but also to save battery. So there is no need to consider those old products that look like big blocks. His opinion is that according to these three points, choose between the Shanghai brand that is best at electronic manufacturing or the Nanjing "Panda".

Not to mention, not only did "General" and Han Ying feel convinced by this analysis, but other customers nearby nodded frequently. Even the salesperson laughed and called Hong Yanwu an expert.

As a result, the salesperson's attitude became much better, and he took the initiative to show them several lightweight and compact products.

Those radios were about the size of a magazine. This is definitely incomparable with today's electronic products, but it was already a refreshing masterpiece at that time. The feeling that customers saw when they saw them was basically the same as the feeling that people today feel when they see new products from the "Apple" company.

Han Ying fell in love with the fine workmanship of "Feile 729" as soon as she saw it. She tried the telescopic antenna and the effect was quite good. So even though it was not a three-band product and the price of 76 yuan was a bit more expensive than other brands, I still decided to buy it.

The most surprising thing was that Hong Yanwu had an idea and suggested to everyone, how about we buy one to relieve our boredom at the beach? He received many overjoyed and loud supports on the spot.

So the final result was that Hong Yanwu and "General" exchanged 152 yuan and Gang Tao for ten industrial coupons and bought two radios.

The payment methods in shopping malls in this era are also quite unique. Even though there is a cashier, there is no need for customers to go and pay. After calculating the price and ticket, accept it directly from the salesperson at the counter.

There is a thick iron wire above the salesperson's head, which leads directly to the cashier. There is an electric pulley on it and a number of iron clips hanging on it. After the salesperson collects the payment, he clips it together with the receipt with an iron clip and slides it to the checkout counter along the iron wire.

Take it over there and calculate the details. If you have change, slide it back with the receipt. Customers don’t have to move at all. This is even more convenient than swiping a credit card or WeChat payment today.

Having bought a radio that suits her needs, Han Ying is already satisfied. But she didn't expect that because the "general" had consulted Hong Yanwu's opinion and was more determined to buy her a watch, he actually brought a lot of money without telling her before coming.

So now I forced her to go to the watch counter. Regardless of her objections, he chose a brand new Swiss "Roman" brand mechanical women's watch for her. In the blink of an eye, two hundred and thirty yuan and fifteen industrial coupons were spent.

But when Han Ying put this shiny gadget on her wrist, it definitely lifted her spirits. Not only does she look like a daughter of a high-ranking official, but she also has a smile like a flower, and she also looks more beautiful. The taste of happiness is obvious, and it can be seen on her face without even smelling it.

Everyone naturally made a fuss about this, and they all said that the "general" loves his wife so much that he will definitely not talk about it at home in the future.

While walking and laughing, it was time to have a dinner party. But they were about to leave, and just when everyone was about to go downstairs, when passing the leather shoe counter, Hong Yanwu couldn't help but meddle in some other business.

It's a coincidence to say the least. What's going on?

It turns out that on this day, Bincheng Department Store received a batch of leather shoes from "Shanghai".

This is something pretty that you don’t usually see. So that day, the people's bourgeois ideas began to spread again. The shoe and hat counters are packed with people so tight that they break your head. If you don't have your legs clenched to the ground, the crowd can squeeze you in.

As a result, there was a young man who finally squeezed his way to the counter and fell in love with a pair of thin, pointy, crimson calfskin shoes. And was very lucky to catch the last pair matching his number.

It's a pity that just when he was about to pay for it, he found that he didn't have enough money. He was two yuan short of twenty-seven leather shoes. And when he hesitated and touched the money all over his body, a young man next to him actually snatched it from his hand.

Fortunately, the owner caught it and the shoes were not taken away. Follow him and say, "What are you doing? I'm thinking about buying it."

Unexpectedly, the other party's eyes widened and he said casually, "You have no money, what can you buy?"

This remark made the person who got the shoe first get so angry that it rushed to his head. He said, "Do you understand politeness? Is there a first-come, first-served basis? No matter how anxious you are, you still have to wait for me to put down my shoes!"

And this sentence just showed the Beijing accent, and what was unexpected was that the other party also heard it, and actually became more arrogant because of it. As soon as he said hello, two more people suddenly jumped up and squeezed the others aside, surrounding this young man from the capital.

The owner said very arrogantly, "Oh, I'm still from Beijing. But let me tell you, even though you Beijingers are popular everywhere, you won't take advantage of me in Bincheng. Don't say you have no money today. , even if you chip in the money, these shoes are mine! **** Damn it, I’m going to destroy the prestige of you people in the capital, don’t drink the wine as a penalty!”

The young man from Beijing was not a good person either, so he was anxious at that time. "Grandson! How dare you scold Mom! I'll slap you!" Then he grabbed the other person's neck without caring.

Unfortunately, the other party was outnumbered, so three people worked together to hold him down. And just when he was about to suffer a loss, Hong Yanwu, who had just noticed the situation here because of his Beijing accent, couldn't help but get involved because of his feelings for his fellow villagers.

As soon as he started, he pinched the leader's wrist, and Chen Liquan followed suit, easily subduing the other two minions. Then Hong Yanwu threw another two dollars on the counter, and Beier said to the young man righteously, "Brother, don't be afraid! Aren't they challenging the people in the capital? You have to buy just this! I'll give you the money you need. You add it!”

The most unexpected thing is that the "generals" who started the trouble actually know each other and have beaten them in the past. When he comes over, he curses you all over the place!

"I said, why are you so shy? You always call other people's mothers names! Are the people in the capital messing with you? It's not your turn to show off among the people in Bincheng! Get out of here! You deserve a beating. , I will satisfy you at any time!”

As a result, those boys suddenly became wilted eggplants. I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma and apologize repeatedly in a huge shame. After being let go, the mouse ran away immediately.

On the contrary, the young man from Beijing was overjoyed. He took the newly bought leather shoes and thanked the two fellow villagers Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.

Everyone in the capital has a good reputation. After leaving the department store, the young man handed out a circle of cigarettes to everyone in the "Hai Bangzi" group. The grade is quite high. It is actually the same grade of "Huhai" brand cigarettes as "Peony".

When Hong Yanwu took a closer look at the young man, it was even more strange. He was wearing a Huhai brand watch and the clothes were fashionable. If he didn't speak with a Beijing accent, he would have been more like a Shanghainese. After questioning, he found out that this young man had grown up in the capital, and someone in his family worked in Shanghai. He actually came to Bincheng to serve as a soldier. He came to the city to rest today.

In this way, Hong Yanwu's emotions were completely gone. He had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he casually said that there was something urgent, hurriedly put out the cigarette, took the "general" and they left.

Not only did he refuse the young man’s invitation to go to the bank to withdraw money and treat them to drinks, he even refused to leave his contact information. In the words of Jingcheng, it is very disrespectful.

This made the young man stay there with a look of astonishment, which was completely baffling. After walking far away, the "general" and others couldn't help but wonder about Hong Yanwu's abnormality.

It was only then that Hong Yanwu revealed his deep-rooted hatred. He told everyone, "Looking at that outfit, you can tell it's expensive. My family works in Shanghai and can I wear a 'Huhai' watch? Smoke 'Huhai' cigarettes? Not to mention that I'm a soldier. Needless to say, He must be a cadre's son. I didn't expect that I would save an enemy! It's not easy for me to meet a fellow countryman, but he is this kind of guy! To be honest, if I want to see my brother in the capital, I will give him a beating. Strip them naked! Stop helping them! Bah, bad luck!”
