The Shen family went out for a few days and returned with a full load. The people who saw them were so curious that they didn't care about working in the fields. They rushed out of the fields and surrounded them.
Someone couldn't help but ask Old Man Shen, "Grandpa, I heard that your family went to a big city. What good things did you bring back? Let us see them, please?"
Old Man Shen was a little proud, but he pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing, just some small things from the city. I brought them back for you to see, didn't I?"
As he said that, he turned to look at Shen Zhiyi and Shen Zhile behind him, "Get the things out of the car!"
After the large and small bags were unloaded from the car, placed on the ground and opened, what caught their eyes was a large bag of electronic watches, as well as many fashionable hairpins, hair flowers, beautiful and exquisite handkerchiefs, towels, toothbrushes, cups, kettles and other daily necessities. The villagers also saw a lot of snacks and drinks, which were varieties that they could not even see in the county town.
"Oh my god, so many things, are they all brought back from big cities? They look so fashionable, and we don't even sell them here!"
Some children are attracted by gadgets such as cartoon electronic watches and snacks, and pester their parents to buy them for them.
"Grandpa and grandma, this electronic watch is really nice, how much is it?"
Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Look, things from big cities are rare in the eyes of rural people who have never seen the world. They think they are novel at first sight. This small shop has not even opened yet, but I came to ask the price.
Old man Shen was about to say one dollar a piece, but Fubao spoke first, saying in a sweet and soft voice, "Two dollars a piece."
A woman exclaimed, "What? Two dollars, isn't that too expensive?"
Fu Bao smiled at her very sweetly, shook his head and said, "Not expensive, not expensive. It costs several dollars to buy it in a big city. And this is what my grandparents and brothers brought back from afar. My grandparents are so old, it's not easy to earn a little money."
Seeing her well-behaved and sensible appearance, some villagers who already liked Fubao immediately felt that what she said made sense. The old couple were so old, and they went to such a faraway big city to bring things back. How could they have the nerve to bargain with them?
Besides, they all knew the Shen family’s character. They were good people and would not cheat them.
"Okay, two dollars is two dollars!" A man said, taking out a few bills from his trouser pocket, a total of two dollars, and handed them to Fubao, "Here, girl, take the money, which watch do you think looks good? Pick one for my daughter!"
Fubao carefully selected a pink bunny-shaped one for his daughter. The little girl loved it very much and smiled from ear to ear.
When the man saw that there were electronic watches suitable for boys, he bought two at once for the two boys in his family.
Someone saw some small rectangular boxes in the snack pile, picked one up and asked curiously: "Hey, what is this? I've never seen it before!"
"This is chocolate!" Old Man Shen said loudly, with a smile on his face. "They say it's imported from abroad. It's very expensive in Guangcheng. They want two for one like this."
"Oh my god, this can buy a pound of pork, why is it so expensive?"
"Because it's delicious." Fu Bao and Old Man Shen sang in unison, unpacking a box of chocolates, "Look at the packaging, it's golden, it looks very elegant, and it tastes even better, it has a unique flavor, it must be a taste you have never tasted before, everyone try it, if you like it, buy some back."
