Chapter 150 You are my passenger seat today
Su Wan wanted to say something, but Sister Wei said, "I know you're very busy. Just focus on your own things. I've already received so much help from you, and I want to do what I can."
After hearing what Sister Wei said, Su Wan did not insist.
She nodded and instructed, "If you have any difficulties, please tell my second brother. I can't be here all the time, but my second brother will be here often."
"Don't worry, I know everything."
Su Wan nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Wei, I'm going back home to stay for two days today. Please wait for me when you return this afternoon. I'll go back with you then."
"Okay, then don't bring any food or drinks, I have them all."
"I have to go back and clean the house first. Chen Yuan should be back soon."
It was agreed that the delay would only be less than a month. Calculating the time, Su Wan planned to go back early to wash everything in the house to prevent the house from being dirty when Chen Yuan came back.
Mrs. Wei didn't say much. She nodded and went to greet the guests.
As soon as Su Wan went out, she saw someone selling loquats in the market across the street.
She went up to the market and bought all the good loquats. Thirty catties of loquats, which were selling for thirty cents a catty, only cost nine yuan. The lesser-chosen loquats were also given to her by the elderly. It was clearly thirty catties of loquats, but in reality it weighed nearly forty.
Su Wan took a bag for the three people in the clothing store, left the rest in the store, and went out.
She returned to Grandma Zhao's house and drove the car to exchange her food coupons and meat coupons for 20 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of meat. She also bought some snacks, two chickens and a duck, and put them in urea bags in the trunk.
After buying everything, Su Wan drove to the state-owned store.
There she found the refrigerator, air conditioner and washing machine she wanted.
In 1984, many state-owned stores in Guangdong Province did not require industrial tickets, but the prices were slightly higher by about ten yuan.
She took a look at the prices. A Toshiba 2kg semi-automatic twin-tub washing machine cost 470 yuan, a Xiangxuehai refrigerator cost 685 yuan, and a Wellcome air conditioner cost 961 yuan.
Looking at the price, Su Wan couldn't help but gasp.
No wonder people say that home appliances were expensive in the 1980s. Not even considering buying a TV, it was already over 2,000 yuan. A black and white TV from 1984 cost about 500 yuan, but a color TV cost more than 2,200 yuan.
Of course, it is nothing to Su Wan now, but for farmers, it is the money they have saved for several years.
Therefore, many people in later generations say that the love of the previous generation was good, and they could marry their wife home with just the four major items.
But the four major items in the 1980s were color TV, refrigerator, washing machine and tape recorder. They were not cheap in total, costing about 5,000 yuan. The average annual salary of employees in the 1980s was 762 yuan. Just to buy these things, you had to save for seven years without eating or drinking, not to mention the betrothal gift of several hundred yuan, which was a considerable expense.
Of course, in rural areas, there are relatively few people who ask for the four big items. Generally, a few hundred yuan in betrothal gifts, a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio and a watch are enough.
Therefore, no matter what era it is, the economic foundation is crucial.
Especially in later generations, the housing prices often reached tens of thousands, which made it daunting for the lower-class people. Even building a house in the countryside would cost a lot of money.
Su Wan immediately bought an air conditioner, a refrigerator and a washing machine. After leaving her address, the state-owned store delivered the goods to her door the next day.
Holding the receipt, Su Wan bought toothpaste, toothbrush and some other things at the state-owned store, then checked out and left the store.
There were already a lot of people gathered in front of her car, pointing and talking. When they saw it was a girl, the whispers became even louder.
"After all this time, it turns out it was a woman driving the car."
"How can a girl be so rich?"
"Of course, she must be from a wealthy family. She's dressed so well and dares to buy so many things in a state-owned store. She's definitely not short of money."
People in the 1980s were more cautious. They would not like to go up and hitchhike, check in and take photos, as if the car was their own, like some people in later generations.
When Su Wan took the car keys and went in, those voices still revealed a lot of envy.
In fact, there were few cars in the early 1980s. In two or three years, there will be many wealthy bosses in Guangdong Province. By then, holding the car keys in the left hand and the mistress in the right hand, it will be so comfortable.
When returning to the clothing store, Su Wan parked the car at the door.
She didn't honk the horn. The people inside just heard the sound of the car and didn't stick their heads out to look outside because there were so many customers there.
After getting out of the car, Su Wan quickly put the car keys in his pocket and went to the store.
"Boss, wait a minute, I'll be ready soon."
Mrs. Wei was packing clothes for the customer. After collecting the money and seeing the customer off, she smiled and said, "That customer was really generous. Seven or eight girls came here and bought more than a thousand yuan worth of clothes!"
All three of them entertained guests, so their performance was naturally calculated separately.
Occasionally, when they serve customers together, they will note it so that there will be no trouble, but Su Jianguo suggested that it would be better for them to write receipts separately, so now they have all learned how to issue receipts.
Zhao Ni immediately spotted the SUV outside the door, then looked at Su Wan and asked curiously, "Boss, is that your car?"
Su Wan nodded, "Yes, I just bought it."
"What a beautiful car."
Zhao Ni exclaimed in admiration, and Mrs. Wei and Qian Juan looked at the car outside at the same time, their eyes full of envy.
"Boss, you are really amazing."
"I really hope I can be as awesome as my boss in the future." Qian Juan said in a low voice.
"If I had one-tenth of my boss's, I would be satisfied."
Everyone joked.
Su Wan didn't laugh at them. Instead, she said seriously, "As long as you work hard, you'll have opportunities like this in the future. Once the branch is open, you'll all return to become store managers. Your performance will be linked to your income. The better the performance, the higher the income. I also hope that you can all work hard and strive to make a lot of money."
The three people in the store were full of hope.
They didn't think that this was something impossible. Following Su Wan, they earned several thousand yuan in just one year, and saved almost all of it. This was something they had never dared to imagine before.
So now following Su Wan, they didn’t feel that anything was impossible.
After saying hello to Qian Juan and Zhao Ni, Su Wan and Mrs. Wei left the store.
Opening the car door, Su Wan said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Wei, please get in the car!"
"Wanwan, I don't even dare to get on. I always feel like this car is too new and I'll get it dirty."
Mrs. Wei rubbed her hands and spoke a little embarrassedly.
"What's the big deal if the car gets dirty? We bought it to use it." Su Wan patted the passenger seat and said, "You can sit in my passenger seat today."
