Fan Hongxia said to Shi Yun in a very impulsive manner: "Mom, I also want to go to high school, and I also want to buy clothes. Give me money."
Fan Hongxia is a junior high school student, and it is normal for her to want to go to high school, but she was an educated youth who ran back home secretly. The street office was catching these educated youth who ran back and was ready to deport them at any time.
There is no way she can go to high school now.
Since Xie Wan had a rural household registration, he did not have to become an educated youth. He could stay at home and continue his studies through connections, and it did not violate any regulations.
Shi Yun was very annoyed, and yelled, "What high school did you go to? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What level do you think you are at?
You want money, you want money, I think you are here to collect debts!"
Xie Wan and Xie Dahong both understood the meaning of Shi Yun's words. Xie Dahong threw the newspaper in his hand onto the coffee table in displeasure and went to the study.
Xie Wan said to Shi Yun with a fake smile: "Aunt Shi, you have a sharp gaze. I really am here to collect a debt."
After saying that, she ran upstairs without waiting for Shi Yun to fight back.
After returning to the room, Xie Wan locked the door, lay comfortably on the bed covered with a cool mat, and then looked around.
Fan Hongxia took away everything in the house, but the furniture was still there.
The mat, quilt and pillow were rearranged by Aunt Zhou. They were a bit old but clean. I heard they were left by her stepbrother.
Xie Wan didn't care. The conditions were much better than what she had at Tao Hongmei's home in Renjia Village.
After Xie Wan lived in Xie's house for a few days, his face finally gained some flesh and his skin became a little whiter.
It took Shi Yun several days to give her some cloth coupons and industrial coupons.
Xie Wan took the money and tickets and went to the department store in the city.
This department store has three floors and is a fairly good size.
Xie Wan saw Phoenix and Fei Ge brand bicycles on the first floor. One bicycle cost more than 150 yuan, and a bicycle ticket was required.
This is equivalent to the modern BMW and Maserati. Xie Wan saw two of them parked at Xie Dahong's house, one belonged to Shi Yun and the other to Fan Hongxia.
"He bought a luxury car for his stepdaughter but didn't give his own daughter any food. This father is really generous."
Xie Wan decided that she must trick Xie Dahong into buying her a bicycle in the future.
I went up to the second floor and saw the shoe cabinet.
Xie Wan lowered his head to look at the pair of rubber shoes on his feet. The rubber sole had cracked, and the four toes of the shoe were exposed. The heel was also rotten.
She has to buy shoes.
It's summer now and plastic sandals are on sale.
Xie Wanyi asked about the price and learned that a pair cost 2.2 yuan.
She gasped. This is too cheap.
Xie Wan went to ask about the price of the Jiefang shoes next door.
I didn't expect that a pair of Liberation shoes would only cost two yuan and eighty cents, but you needed cloth coupons.
Xie Wan finally bought a pair of yellow sandals and a pair of Jiefang shoes.
When buying shoes these days, there is no such thing as trying them on. You just buy the size that suits you.
After the salesperson issued the receipt, Xie Wan took it to the cashier counter to pay, then took the receipt back to the shoe counter and picked up the shoes.
There was a trash can on this floor, so Xie Wan changed into new sandals and threw the old pair of rubber shoes into the trash can.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, an old lady came to rummage through the trash can, picked up the pair of old shoes that Xie Wan had thrown away, looked through them for a few times, and scolded in disgust: "Poor bastard, how can you wear your shoes to pieces before changing them!"
After scolding the old lady, he threw the old shoes back into the trash can.
Xie Wan didn't care about it. She went to the cloth counter again.
The cloths on the counter were mainly gray, black, green, and several kinds of floral fabrics, such as the Dacron floral fabric that Fan Hongxia wore, of which there was only one piece.
Compared to Dacron, Xie Wan prefers cotton because it is breathable.
To buy cloth, you need cloth coupons. Shi Yun gave Xie Wan three cloth coupons in total, one five-foot coupon, two two-foot coupons, and one one-foot coupon, which means that she could only buy ten feet of cloth at most.
The width of this cotton cloth is one and a half meters.
Before Xie Wan came, she asked Aunt Zhou that if she wanted to make a dress with a small hem, she would need about four feet of cloth.
Xie Wan gave up the idea of making a skirt. She bought three feet of cloth of each pattern and planned to make a shirt. The rest could be used to make underwear and a vest.
The floral cotton cloth cost 45 cents per foot, and for six feet, the total cost was two dollars and seventy cents.
She used the remaining four feet of cloth coupons to buy navy blue cotton cloth, which she estimated could be used to make two pairs of trousers if she was frugal.
Xie Wan had a good plan. If the trouser legs were not long enough, he could just make them shorter. It was summer after all, so they could be worn as shorts or cropped trousers.
After buying the cloth, Xie Wan went to the daily necessities counter and bought a box of Pechoin for twenty cents.
I saw some loose cream for sale, it was only 2.7 yuan per ounce.
Xie Wan felt that her skin condition was too bad. There were no other skin care products in this era, so she wanted to buy some vanishing cream to apply at home, but unfortunately she didn't bring the bottle.
Seeing that there was no one around, the salesperson secretly took out an empty canning glass jar from under the counter and asked her if she wanted it. It was two cents each, and no receipt was required.
Xie Wan gave the salesperson two cents.
Apparently it was the salesperson's own empty can.
Xie Wan went to pay for the Pechoin and vanishing cream and came back. When the salesperson was filling her bottle of vanishing cream, he scooped an extra spoonful and winked at her mysteriously.
Xie Wan also blinked, and both sides tacitly did not speak.
After buying some other necessities at other counters, Xie Wan left the department store with her things, and she still had twenty-five dollars left.
The main reason was that she had no tickets, so even if she had money, she couldn't buy what she wanted.
On the way home, she passed by a bookstore and went in to buy a red book.
