Early in the morning, the weather was sunny, which was rare.
Zhao Wei led Yunxiu, and the two of them walked sweetly onto the street and wandered for a long time until half past eight, then they ran towards the Supply and Marketing Department Store.
There weren't many people in this place at this time.
Zhao Wei first ran to the counter selling books and school supplies.
He bought some pens, pencils, and notebooks sold in this place.
This is not only for learning how to write, but also for using it when grandmas teach people how to embroider.
As for books, there is really nothing much to say. There are very few novels to read. In the end, I chose "How the Steel Was Tempered".
When she just heard the name, Yunxiu thought Zhao Wei wanted her to learn blacksmithing, and she made a lot of jokes because of it.
However, my attention was soon attracted by the musical instruments, mainly the erhu, flute, Xiao, accordion, etc.
Zhao Wei can play the flute and the Xiao, but he is not very good at the erhu.
The woman plays the flute and the man plays the pipe, this combination is pretty good.
So I bought it decisively.
After doing all this, he turned his attention to his watch.
The county magistrate's daughter wears a watch, so Yunxiu and I must get one too.
With his current financial strength, he can definitely support it.
Unfortunately, he didn't buy a ticket for the watch, so after looking at it for a long time, he had to put it back.
Yunxiu was shocked by the high price.
A watch costs 95 yuan, what's the difference between this and robbery?
But Zhao Wei couldn't resist the urge to buy it.
Moreover, he went to find someone for help.
The person I'm looking for is Master Liu from the station.
In these days, drivers like them can get watch tickets first.
He wanted to take a shortcut and spend a little money to get the ticket.
Master Liu has been taken care of by him and is now a team leader in the station. Naturally, he would not refuse such a small favor.
It only took half an hour to get the ticket.
However, a ticket cost 100 yuan, which is already considered a low-priced internal ticket.
If it were put on the black market, this ticket would most likely be sold for over 200 yuan, and there would still be no demand for it.
Zhao Wei wanted four, but it was too many, and Master Liu was afraid that something might go wrong, so he only gave them two for the time being.
One of them was his own and he definitely couldn't afford to give it away, so he just gave it to Zhao Wei at the original market price without increasing the price.
Zhao Wei didn't bargain with him.
Anyway, there is a long time to come, and I will have to interact more with Master Liu in the future, and I will be able to pay it back eventually.
The watch was bought quickly, and it took him half an hour to teach Yunxiu how to read time.
Yunxiu was a little excited and would often secretly glance over to see how many minutes had passed.
Before this, she didn't know how long a minute was. The concept of time was very difficult for her to understand, and she had to rely entirely on the weather to make judgments.
Because I was too focused, I accidentally bumped into a thin lady while walking.
There was a bamboo basket hanging on the other person's wrist, with eggs in it.
After being bumped by her, his whole body shook involuntarily, and the basket in his hand seemed to be about to fly out.
Fortunately, Zhao Wei was quick-witted and managed to stabilize the bamboo basket before a bigger disaster occurred.
After the old lady stood firmly, she quickly snatched the bamboo basket back and glared at Yunxiu with some blame.
"Girl, be careful when you walk. It would be a shame if you dropped this basket of eggs!"
Nowadays, even if one egg is broken, let alone so many of them, it would be heartbreaking.
Yunxiu apologized to the old lady sincerely. The old lady was not the type to make trouble. She told her not to walk like that in the future and was about to leave with the basket.
As a result, after walking a few steps, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly stopped the two of them.
"Don't rush, stop!"
Yunxiu asked in surprise: "Auntie, do you have anything else to say?"
The old lady didn't look at her, but looked at Zhao Wei beside her.
She just tilted her head and looked around, and no one knew what she was looking at, but she kept muttering to herself.
"Tsk tsk... they look exactly like each other, they are just like each other."
While Zhao Wei was puzzled, the old lady asked cautiously: "Hello, little brother, what is your last name?"
Zhao Wei said calmly, "Auntie, my last name is Zhao. I wonder if you... have any opinion about me?"
"No, no, no... I don't have any objection, I just thought you looked a bit like someone, and I was curious, so I took a closer look."
She sighed and said, "I didn't expect that your last name is also Zhao. What a great fate!"
"Alas... this world is so big, and there are so many strange things. I can't help but sigh and say that I can see someone who looks exactly like my old man on the street. I'm sorry to make you laugh!"
Zhao Wei's heart moved. The other party actually felt that he looked like someone. Could it be a family member of his father Zhao Yong?
When he was about to ask the lady more, the lady seemed to have thought of something, and ran away after saying something hurriedly.
"The food is spoiled. I have soup simmering on the fire. I can't delay for too long. I have to go..."
"Hey... Auntie..."
Zhao Wei tried to chase after him, but just then a group of children came out of an alley and blocked his way.
The old lady was also very agile and disappeared quickly.
Zhao Wei stood there, feeling that he might be very close to the truth, but he missed it. What a pity!
However, since I met the other party in the county town, it is obvious that his home should be nearby. If we are really destined to be together, we will meet one day.
After returning home that day, he told this story to Zhao Yong as a joke.
Zhao Yong was silent for a long time before he said, "This is just a coincidence. How can it be so easy? Forty-five years have passed. Things and people have changed a lot!"
After counting with fingers, he found that his parents are in their seventies or eighties. At such an old age, it is considered a very old age in this era, and they may not still be alive.
He had long since given up hope of ever returning to his real family.
But the news Zhao Wei brought today still made him very excited. He tossed and turned that night and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
However, on that day in the county town, an elderly couple from a family also tossed and turned until dawn.
The lady carrying the eggs was just an old maid in their family, responsible for cooking and washing clothes. She had worked in their family for most of her life and had long been treated as a family member.
Seeing the gloomy faces of the two men, the old lady felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Oh, I was such a fool at the time. I was only thinking about the soup on the stove and didn't bring the man back for a detailed interrogation. It's really... a sin!"
