On his way to the county town, Ye Beiping asked Hou Baolin, "Monkey, didn't you say your dad had some watch coupons?"
I'm just showing you what the watch ticket looks like; I won't go into the specific specifications.
"Here it is." Hou Baolin handed the small watch receipt directly to Ye Beiping: "I stole this from my dad, and he doesn't know it yet."
Hou Baolin's face was full of bitterness when he said this.
"I wouldn't have taken it out if you weren't getting married and having a wedding banquet."
Upon hearing this, Wu Di glanced at Hou Baolin and said, "You're so stingy. It's just a watch ticket, what are you so proud of? I have a radio ticket here in Beiping, I'll give it to you if you want."
"Thank you." Ye Beiping accepted both tickets, and a smile curved his lips as he looked at them.
Hou Yongping and Wu Guangfa were both newly appointed, so the commune would give them priority in issuing these tickets.
Suddenly, Hou Baolin looked at the radio ticket and sneered, "Even people in Beiping can repair radios, so giving him this is useless."
These words embarrassed Wu Di, and it seemed to make sense.
Ye Beiping replied, "A wedding must use new things, how can we use secondhand ones? But I still want to thank you, my good brothers, haha."
Upon hearing this, Wu Di even gestured smugly with his chin towards Hou Baolin.
The three of them soon arrived at the state-run shopping mall in the county town.
Ye Beiping will definitely keep his promise to Su Xinyi.
When they arrived at the watch counter, Wu Di and Hou Baolin were overwhelmed by the sights.
So many watches?
"Look at this watch, don't I look handsome wearing it?"
...
Ye Beiping ignored the two people's infatuation and began selecting exquisite watches on his own.
There weren't many watch styles available at that time.
Ye Beiping stopped in his tracks when he saw a yellow watch.
Well, after looking around, this is the only decent women's watch from the 1970s!
"Hello," Ye Beiping called out to the sales assistant next to him, "May I take a look at this watch?"
The sales assistant frowned slightly upon seeing Ye Beiping's attire and asked, "Do you have a ticket?"
"Tickets?" Ye Beiping was so engrossed in looking at his watch that he almost forgot about the ticket. He reached into his pocket, took out the ticket Hou Baolin had given him, and handed it to the sales assistant: "Do you think this is the right one?"
I took the ticket and glanced at it. The sales assistant's attitude instantly changed. Pointing to the yellow watch, she smiled gently and asked, "Is this the one?"
"right."
Upon receiving the watch, Ye Beiping nodded and immediately took it out.
After looking at it, Ye Beiping thought it was indeed quite nice and prepared to pay: "How much?"
The sales assistant glanced at the price and said, "108 yuan."
"What?"
Wu Di and Hou Baolin were both shocked when they heard the price.
"My goodness, it's so expensive?"
"108 yuan is enough to buy 100 jin of pork, tsk tsk tsk."
...
Ye Beiping sensed that the two were making a fuss over nothing, so he handed the money to the sales assistant and explained with a smile, "I'm sorry, these two are just naive and haven't seen much of the world. I'm so sorry."
"Don't make a fuss. This is a state-owned shopping mall. People around are looking this way because you're making such a loud noise."
Upon hearing this, Wu Di and Hou Baolin looked around and indeed found that many people were paying attention to them. They pursed their lips and shrank back like quails.
"etc."
Just as the two remained silent, a woman suddenly snatched the watch from Ye Beiping's hand: "This watch is nice, I like it, how much is it? I'll buy it."
The sales assistant glanced at Ye Beiping with a troubled expression; it was obvious that the woman's attire was much more expensive than Ye Beiping's.
"Madam, I'm sorry, this watch was already bought by this gentleman. And do you have a receipt?"
Snap!
Without saying a word, the woman slammed the ticket onto the glass counter, with 110 yuan underneath.
"110, I bought it."
"this......"
The sales assistant was immediately put in a difficult position, sensing that the woman was not someone to be trifled with.
Ye Beiping frowned slightly, then pulled out a 118-yuan note and said, "118 yuan."
"Heh, kid, trying to outdo me with money? Look at your country bumpkin outfit, huh?" The woman then pulled out two ten-yuan bills and said, "130 yuan."
Ye Beiping was speechless when faced with such a persistent and clingy woman.
But he also saw when the woman took out her money that she didn't have much money left in her bag.
He continued to rummage through his pockets, then pulled out three more ten-yuan bills and slapped them on the glass counter: "148 yuan. This is what I'm going to give to my newlywed wife. I'd pay for it no matter how expensive it is."
"Go ahead and raise the price if you dare."
The woman instinctively reached into her pocket, but then, as if remembering something, she pursed her lips, gave a cold snort, put down her watch, and left.
hiss!
Wu Di and Hou Baolin gasped when they saw Ye Beiping's expression.
"Was it worth spending an extra 40 yuan on this form?"
“You know how much Beiping likes Su Xinyi. Let alone spending an extra 40 yuan, Beiping would probably sell his blood if Su Xinyi asked.”
...
Ye Beiping didn't care about the two people's whispers.
Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems. It's just 40 yuan, which is equivalent to the cost of repairing a radio.
It would be a lie to say I don't feel the pinch.
Ye Beiping returned the money to the sales assistant and said, "Wrap it up."
"Yes, yes, yes." The sales assistant was overjoyed to see the wealthy and powerful customer.
She sold a watch that cost 108 yuan for 148 yuan, making a profit of 40 yuan. How could she not be happy? That's more than a month's salary.
