Chapter 84: It's like pie in the sky
Song Shiwei was startled and quickly grabbed one in each hand, holding the two children tightly by her side!
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin were also very frightened.
"What is this for?"
"That's right, what happened to these people?"
At this time, the person at the counter took a loud speaker and shouted: "Queue up! Everyone, queue up! Come one by one!"
The people in front were like crazy, pushing forward with money and tickets in hand.
Song Shiwei felt a little regretful that he didn't get a radio ticket, otherwise he would have grabbed one as well.
"They're trying to steal the radio! Do you want one?"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin's eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded frantically.
"think!"
Song Shiwei smiled and said, "Okay, next time I'll find a way to get you one too!"
It seems that it is imperative to go to Gu Changrong's house to cook for his wife.
He said if she would cook he could get her some tickets.
Maybe you can even get a TV ticket!
I went to the counter selling cold cream and bought a bottle of cold cream and two tubes of frostbite cream.
I also bought Xinxin some beautiful new hairpins and hair ties.
Of course, there were many nice autumn clothes on the counter, but Song Shiwei didn’t have many cloth coupons, so even if she wanted to buy them for the children, she couldn’t afford them.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin also knew their own situation, so they just took a reluctant look and then looked away.
Song Shiwei could only buy a few pairs of cotton gloves for the children, and also brought a pair for Sun Meimei's family.
Seeing other children wearing new clothes, she thought that she must get more tickets so that the children could live a good life together and have what others have!
After leaving the department store, they went all the way to the pier.
It was already past two in the afternoon, and when they arrived, Xiao Zhang was already waiting there.
I bought the ticket, boarded the boat, and waited for them to return to the army, which was around four or five in the afternoon.
Sun Meimei, Jian Qiu and Wang Chunxiang were sitting under the big willow tree at the gate of the compound with a group of women from the family compound, sewing shoe soles.
Several children were running and playing nearby.
From a distance, Sun Meimei saw Song Shiwei and the others coming towards them carrying large and small bags.
"Yeah, Weiwei and the others are back!"
He immediately put down the shoe in his hand, walked over and helped her carry the things.
But when she saw the big package of Xiao Zhangkang, she couldn't help laughing: "Oh my God, where have you been? You got such a big package, it can't be full of cotton clothes, right?"
She said it in a joking tone, and the sisters-in-law around her also laughed.
But Song Shiwei nodded seriously.
"Yes, they are all cotton-padded clothes! More than a dozen of them!"
Everyone who was originally laughing widened their eyes.
"What?"
"All cotton clothes?"
"More than a dozen???"
"Tingyue family, did you make a fortune during your trip? My goodness, how much money and tickets does this cost!"
Sun Meimei and the others were also in disbelief. Jian Qiu and Wang Chunxiang also put down what they were holding and came over.
"Weiwei, is this true? They are all cotton clothes?"
They were poor and everyone didn't have many cloth coupons. They wore cotton-padded jackets year after year and had to mend them when they were torn.
Who doesn’t have frostbite on their hands and body every winter?
But when they heard that Song Shiwei brought back more than a dozen cotton-padded clothes in one breath, they were all surprised.
They all came up.
"Weiwei, where did you get this cotton coat?"
"Yeah, how much is one?"
"Where did you buy it? Is it expensive?"
Song Shiwei asked Xiao Zhang to put the big bag of cotton-padded jacket on the grass beside her. The outside of the bag was made of a whole piece of cloth. Sun Zeyan saw that she had nothing to put it in, so he found some scraps for her and asked the workers to sew it for her temporarily.
Although they are all small pieces of cloth, when put together, they are almost ten feet long!
When the outer layer of cloth was opened, everyone saw that there were indeed sets of cotton-padded clothes inside!
Sun Meimei couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, these are actually all cotton clothes!"
As he said that, he turned his head in disbelief and looked at Song Shiwei beside him: "Weiwei, how did you get so many cotton clothes?"
Song Shi smiled and said, "It was also by chance that I met Director Sun from the clothing factory. Their factory just happened to have a backlog of cotton clothes and wanted to sell them cheaply, so I brought some back!"
When everyone heard this, they were instantly excited.
This cotton coat is made of good fabric, durable and warm!
"Cheap sale? How much is one?"
"Yes, Weiwei, how much is this cotton-padded jacket? It just so happens that all our children's cotton-padded jackets are too old to wear, but unfortunately we don't have enough cloth and cotton coupons. I'm worried about that!"
"Everyone is like this. Not to mention that my son and daughter's cotton-padded jackets are too small to wear, even mine has been worn for three or four years and is already worn out. It has been patched up and looks terrible!"
Jian Qiu was the same. She pulled Song Shiwei's sleeve and was so happy.
"Weiwei, you are amazing! You even know the director of the garment factory!"
Song Shiwei waved his hand and smiled: "It's just a coincidence!"
As she spoke, she spoke loudly to everyone.
"The factory supplies these cotton-padded jackets to the supply and marketing cooperatives of department stores. I'm sure you all know how much they sell at the counter. One piece costs at least a dozen yuan, and you need a cloth coupon. This time the factory is making a loss. One cotton-padded jacket costs five yuan, no coupon required! Of course, we have seven of them here, and who can take the rest..."
As a result, before she could finish her words, these lesbians went crazy.
“I want it, I want it!!”
"I want!!"
"No, I want it!!"
“I want one too!!”
"I said it first, I want it!"
........
The scene was a little chaotic for a while.
Nonsense, a cotton-padded jacket for five dollars and no ticket required, where can you find such a good deal!
It's like pie in the sky!
Anyone who doesn’t want it is a fool!
They even wanted to ask for a few more pieces. After all, those who could come to join the army were family members of cadres, and their men's salaries were not low.
But the country is still in the process of planned economy, and every household has fixed amounts of food, oil, cloth, etc. It’s not that you can buy whatever you want!
Seeing everyone rushing to grab it, Song Shiwei was shocked. She thought her cotton coat would sell well, but she didn't expect it to be so popular!
The sisters-in-law who are usually so polite are now acting like crazy!
I waved my hands quickly and said, "Don't worry! Come one by one. I have everything. I only have these ten items now. If you guys want more, I will bring more for everyone next time I go to the city!"
