What else can he do? Chen Wei kept praising the products for their beauty, working harder than the saleswoman.

Xiang Meimei felt embarrassed by the compliments and blushed as she asked the cashier, "How much are these two?"

There were only about a dozen products in total, and some people tried them over and over again but didn't buy them. The older sister, who was familiar with the prices, immediately replied:

"A pair of peach blossom earrings weighs 1.6 grams, the gold price is 9 yuan, and the labor cost is 1.2 yuan, so the total is 10.2 yuan; the ring weighs 3.1 grams, the gold price is 15.5 yuan, and the processing fee is 1 yuan, so the total is 16.5 yuan."

The two items together cost 26.7 yuan, which Chen Wei, an 11th-level worker, could not afford even if he did not eat or drink for a month.

Fortunately, Chen's mother gave him 200 yuan to buy a watch and change the strap, leaving him with 40 yuan. Chen Wei handed over the money and said, "You don't need a ticket, right?"

The teller was delighted when he saw the three large black stones in front of him. Are these two really going to buy them?

"Yes, gold and silver do not need tickets unless you buy more than 10 grams a day." The eldest sister liked the skillful couple very much and said as she gave the change.

Xiang Meimei didn't have time to stop him: "Hey, what are you doing? I was planning to buy earrings and you bought a ring."

"Whatever we divide between you and me is the same, and in the end it all comes down to you."

The eldest sister was so annoyed that she said, "Come here, little girl, I'll give you an extra pair of these ear plugs. They're made of silver, so keep them. This ring is easily dented, so take it off and I'll make a string for you."

Xiang Meimei blushed at Chen Wei's rare sweet words and quickly took off the ring on her hand and handed it to her elder sister. She took the white fungus plug and said thank you sweetly.

The eldest sister took a red string and began to braid it skillfully: "You two haven't gotten married yet, right?"

"My family is going to Meimei's for dinner today."

"Oh, it's settled? That's great! How much is the bride price? My little daughter is getting married, but she refuses to get engaged. It's giving me a headache."

Xiang Meimei said sweetly, "400 plus the watch, and a bicycle ticket."

I knew people who could afford gold and silver jewelry were wealthy, but I didn't expect them to be so wealthy. My hand almost trembled and I made a mistake in the knot:

"You're amazing, little girl. Where do you work? My youngest daughter is a useless temporary worker at the coal mine. I don't know when she'll get married. The betrothal gift will be paid back in a year or two with your combined salaries. No wonder you're willing to spend money on gold."

Xiang Meimei felt the Chen family's full respect from the heavy betrothal gift, and was very happy: "I work in the steel factory, and he works in the match factory, but my mother works in the coal factory, and they are together with your daughter. What is your daughter's name?"

The aunt was not on guard and said casually: "Wang Chunting, you are 18 today. I am very worried."

He silently noted the information and asked Meimei again, "Isn't that beautiful?"

"It would be great if she was as pretty as you, then there would be a lot of people chasing her. I can only say she's average, but she's about the same height and build as you, and a bit whiter than you."

One intentionally and the other unintentionally, Xiang Meimei figured out Wang Chunting's general situation within a few minutes. She secretly took note of it in her heart, and left with a smile on her face after the red rope was woven.

How could the aunt who sells gold not know that her daughter is trying to trick her? But it is obvious that Xiang Meimei's family is well-off. If she is so generous to her daughter, she must be nice to her daughter-in-law too.

So I told Xiang Meimei everything.

The little girl happily went to the fourth floor wearing her jewelry, and her boyfriend followed closely behind her. The old lady took off her glasses, wiped them, and sat down to knit again.

Uncle Li finally fixed the watch strap and put it in the box, and it looked just like the original one.

Chen Wei helped Xiang Meimei try it on and found it fit perfectly and looked great.

Uncle Li scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, I've been doing this for over ten years. Your wrist is thin, so I drilled two extra holes in it. This is the warranty card. If it stops working within a year, come and I'll fix it for you free of charge."

The service attitude is excellent, 5 yuan is worth it.

Xiang Meimei gave a thumbs up, and the two of them put away the cards, put the earrings and rings in the jewelry box, and put them in the bag together with the watch for Chen Wei to wear cross-body.

I was afraid of being robbed. After all, I was wandering around the streets. If someone attacked Meimei and she ran away and I couldn't catch her, I would be finished.

The two men walked out of the department store and turned right into the yard. Sure enough, there was someone inside, a young man with a flat head, who was repairing a bicycle.

Chen Wei took out the receipt: "Brother, this is the receipt, let's pick up the car."

The young man looked him up and down, then turned back to wash the lubricant off his hands and looked at the receipt. "28-inch truck, follow me over here."

He took it into the house, which was filled with stacked wooden boxes containing various parts of the car.

"You're lucky. I packed one yesterday when I was bored. The plastic bag on it is still there. Look at it. It's brand new."

The young man pushed out a 28-inch truck, which was exactly the same as the one seen on the fourth floor, except that this one had a layer of plastic on the outside of each part for protection.

"Check it out, I'll install a bell for you." The young man with the flat head checked and found that only a bell was missing, so he went to get the parts.

Chen Wei looked at them carefully one by one. They were all brand new, so he rode them and tried them out. They were pretty good.

The young man moved quickly, installing a bell on the left handlebar, adjusting the brake on the right handlebar, and lubricating the handlebar chain.

"Here, this is the warranty card. Free repairs within one year, free chain replacement and inflation within three years."

He also gave a card, and Chen Wei quickly put it away.

After the two of them had adjusted themselves, Chen Wei rode the bicycle and Xiang Meimei sat on the back seat, all the way back to the steel plant's family compound.

This immediately caused an uproar in the quiet family compound. A new car!

Who would be willing to buy something that costs more than one hundred or two hundred yuan? We all have families to support, so we can only look at it and cannot afford it at all.
