"My comrade has high standards."
"He told me on the phone last time that girls used to hide when they saw him, but now when they see him, they immediately say they're hot and want to take off their clothes, and that's annoying."
Yun Duan glanced at Huo Qiu Sheng and noticed that he was smiling broadly. "Are you quite envious of him?"
"What do I have to envy?"
"I have such a wonderful fiancée like you, it's almost like he envies me."
The cloud pursed its lips and smiled,
"Your comrade is so rich, what kind of treatment did he offer Huo Yulian?"
"Food and lodging included, twenty-seven dollars a month."
In 1980, the average monthly income of ordinary county workers was only 40-50 yuan. Huo Yulian had little money in the countryside all year round. Farmers counted work points instead of money.
Farmers can all smiles if they can earn 30 yuan a year.
Huo Yulian earns 27 yuan a month as a nanny, and includes food and accommodation. This salary is beyond the standard!
Yun Duan's beautiful eyes darted around as she asked Huo Qiu Sheng, "Was there any money you contributed out of that twenty-seven dollars?"
I won’t go into details about how Huo Yulian had suffered domestic violence before and came to the army to seek refuge with Huo Qiu Sheng, who provided her with food and shelter, and even gave her some pocket money.
The main thing is that at that time, she hadn't established a romantic relationship with Huo Qiu Sheng, right?
If Huo Qiu Sheng still gave money to support Huo Yulian.
She won't do it!
Whoever marries a crazy sister will regret it.
Huo Qiusheng looked at the temptation in her beautiful eyes and smiled.
"How come?"
"She's my eldest sister, not my daughter!"
"Even if she's my daughter, there's no reason to give her money now that she's an adult."
Cloud heaved a sigh of relief.
Little Pu'er listened nearby and said in a childish voice:
"Mom, when I come of age, I'll give you money!"
Yunduan was amused by her cute look of trying to please and be praised.
"Don't listen to your dad. You become an adult at eighteen, and you'll still be in college then."
It was precisely because of her consideration that Pu'er had to go to school that she was willing to go back to the army with Huo Qiusheng tonight.
Otherwise, huh, she is not so easy to coax!
When Little Pu'er heard Yunduan wanted her to go to college, she said in panic:
"Well, what if I don't pass the exam?"
Yunduan: "Let's talk about it if you fail the exam. Anyway, you are my daughter and I won't let you live a hard life."
Little Pu'er smiled so hard that his teeth showed, "Mom, you are so kind."
"When you're old, I'll make sure you have endless money and eat delicious food every day..."
Huo Qiusheng asked expectantly, "What about Dad?"
Little Pu'er tilted his head,
"dad?"
"If Daddy is good to Mommy, then of course it's the same."
Huo Qiu Sheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Being good to him depends on whether he is good to Yunduan. This daughter’s heart is biased towards the Pacific Ocean.
Yunduan was very satisfied. She hugged little Pu'er and kissed her on the elastic face, "You are really a good daughter."
The three of them went to the department store while talking.
I just passed by three men.
One of the men recognized Yunduan.
"Brother, isn't this the woman who sent Brother Quan and several other brothers to jail?"
The man who was speaking had a slicked-back hair parted in the middle, a pointed chin, high cheekbones, messy eyebrows, and a pair of narrow eyes with a lewd look.
As he spoke, he handed the newspaper to a strong man.
"Third brother, look, she's in the newspaper!"
When the man called "Third Brother" took the newspaper, you could see calluses on his palms from years of using a knife.
After glancing at Yunduan's photo in the newspaper, he raised his eyes and fiercely stared at Yunduan's back as he walked into the department store, and said in a cold voice:
"Xiaotian, go and lead that man away!"
"Alei and I will tie Yunduan and that kid back!"
Xiaotian, who looks shifty, rubs his hands and says, "Leave it to me!"
Arei, who was dark and thin, frowned and said:
"Third brother, that man looks like someone you don't want to mess with. Why don't we wait until Yunduan is alone?"
The third brother raised his hand and slapped him hard, "Useless dog!"
"If you don't have the guts, get out of here!"
"I'm not a wimp."
Arei covered his swollen face and dared not say a word.
Xiaotian was smiling with a gloating look on his face.
Yunduan didn't know that someone was thinking of her. The joy of shopping made her heart beat almost as fast as the money in her bag.
Department stores sell the most comprehensive and expensive items and are most crowded during holidays.
On a weekday like today, there are more salespeople than people buying things, so it's quite quiet.
Yunduan saw a sign on the wall saying "Salespeople are not allowed to hit customers" and felt like giving up the purchase.
The first floor sells cleaning products, such as vanishing cream, Grand Canal soap, Shanghai Seagull shampoo...
The three people in Yunduan started walking up from the first floor and stopped at the place where clothes were sold.
Little Pu'er complained madly with disgust:
"It's so expensive, but it's not as good-looking as the ones my mom makes."
"It's a brand name."
Yunduan laughed: "This is the brand effect."
"As long as the brand is big enough, even if you charge exorbitant prices for garbage bags, there will still be people willing to pay for them."
Little Pu'er: "Is there really such a stupid person?"
"Yes, there are many."
Huo Qiu Sheng thought about Yunduan's words and remained silent.
Yunduan: "I want to buy a sewing machine. It's not good to always borrow someone else's."
“I just bought it but I don’t know how to get it back.”
"Is there no way your car can fit a sewing machine?"
Huo Qiusheng: "Just buy what you want, I'll figure out the rest."
