Chapter 384: Goods on the Guangzhou Black Market
"Look, you are about the same age as Liezhan, and it's time for you to think about your lifelong affairs. Why aren't you in a hurry?" Lin Yuru nagging.
Xia Shuangshan also stood up for his wife this time and said, "That's right. You don't want to hold your son, but we still want to hold our grandson! It's almost done. Isn't there anything good to do in Guangzhou?"
Lin Yuru asked anxiously, "Is it because... the girl doesn't like our family's conditions and doesn't want to marry her?"
Yan Haotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and said, "Dad, Mom, I've been thinking about this, but I just haven't found the right one yet, right?"
Lin Yuru sighed and said, "How about letting Juanjuan look at her classmates to see if there is anyone suitable?"
Yan Haotian was even more helpless: "Mom, classmate Juanjuan is from Beijing, right? I'm in Guangzhou, which is more than 2,000 kilometers away. If I date someone, we have to live apart, right?"
Lin Yuru couldn't help but sigh heavily: "Look, Juanjuan's triplets are already five years old. Mom is really worried..."
Yan Haotian scratched his head. He couldn't just conjure up a target like a magician right now, could he? He had to change the subject with something else.
In the next few days, we visited famous attractions in Guangzhou, such as arcades, parks, Xiguan, etc., and ate some intestine rice noodles, roast pork, etc.
After walking around for a few days and the weather was hot, Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru were a little exhausted and just rested in the house.
Xia Juanjuan took out ice cubes from the space and placed them in the house to cool them down, saying that she bought the ice from the store, and with the help of an electric fan, it was a little cooler.
Ice cubes were also placed in the room where Xiaowen, Xiaowu and the others lived to keep the room cool.
Xia Juanjuan asked Xia Shuangshan, Lin Yuru and Xiaowen to look after the triplets, and she and Li Zhan went to the black market in Guangzhou.
The black market here is much more lively and bolder than that in Beijing or the former Mo County.
It is located in a relatively quiet alley, and the things sold there are much richer, many of which were secretly brought back from Hong Kong, such as electronic watches, radios, tape recorders, and even song tapes released by celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan, sunglasses, belts, leather wallets, etc.
There are also radios in mainland China, but tape recorders are relatively rare. However, radios are all very large. The ones brought from Hong Kong are small and can be held in the hand.
Xia Juanjuan looked around and asked about the price, but did not buy anything.
Electronic products such as digital watches, radios, and recorders are relatively expensive. A digital watch costs thirty, and a radio and recorder costs fifty. But the price is obviously negotiable.
And the tapes are full of obscene music. If they are discovered, you will be arrested.
However, with the loosening of policies this year, people are not so scared anymore. A box of tapes costs ten dollars now, but there are still many people willing to buy them!
Other sunglasses, belts, leather wallets, trendy clothes from Hong Kong and the like are also priced between ten and twenty yuan.
In an era when workers' wages were only 20 to 30 yuan a month, this price was simply a steal.
But...scarcity makes things valuable. It is also a fact that the mainland does not have these things and cannot even think about them.
It is normal for everyone to rush to buy it.
Seeing that she was only asking but not buying, Li Zhan smiled and said, "What do you like? I'll buy it for you."
The man selling the tapes also laughed and said, "Yes, comrade, you see how much your man loves you. If you buy this tape recorder, here, the tape of Deng Lijun, I will give you 20% off, and sell it to you for eight yuan, how about it?"
