These days, whenever they have free time, Du Chen, Du Bin and others roller skate on the cement ground at the school gate. As Du Chen expected, many children are clamoring to their parents for roller skates.
"Boss, how much are these roller skates?"
A father pointed at the roller skates behind the counter and asked Comrade Lao Du, while his son next to him was staring at the roller skates eagerly.
"A pair of forty-five, take a look..."
Comrade Lao Du said as he took out a pair of roller skates and handed them to the father. When Comrade Lao Du went home for lunch at noon, several people came in to ask how much the roller skates cost.
"Dad, let me see, I want it, buy it for me!"
Looking at the roller skates in his hand, the child next to him couldn't help it anymore. He stood on tiptoe and pulled his father's arm to get the roller skates.
"Wait, wait, let Dad take a look first."
The child's father said to his son helplessly.
"Boss, can you make it cheaper?"
"Brother, the price is really the lowest. You can buy them in the city for fifty or sixty. How about this, I'll give you two pencils."
Comrade Lao Du has become smarter now, and the price will definitely not drop, but I can give you other things.
"Son, you're still too young to play with roller skates. Mommy will buy you some when you're older, okay?"
While Comrade Lao Du was chatting with the child's father, another child came into the store with his mother, also clamoring to buy roller skates.
"Ah, no, I want it, I want it!"
When the child heard that his mother would not buy him roller skates, he burst into tears.
Du Chen, who was standing by, saw what was happening and came up with an idea. He gave his cousin Lin Lin a piece of candy and asked him to play with the scooter in the store. Li Lin also listened to Du Chen, and since there was candy to eat, he started playing with the scooter in the store.
This time, the child who had just entered the store stopped crying and stared at Li Lin playing with the scooter with wide eyes.
"Mom, mom, I want this!"
The little boy pointed at the scooter and said to his mother while sobbing.
The little boy's mother looked at Li Lin playing with the scooter speechlessly, and felt a little itchy in her teeth.
"Boss, how much is this?"
Despite this, the child's mother still asked Comrade Lao Du.
"Sister, this is fifty yuan."
Comrade Lao Du said to the mother with a harmless smile on his face.
On the other side, the father who started asking about roller skates was also whispering something to his son.
"Son, Mommy doesn't have that much money today. Can we buy it next time?"
"Wow... No, I want it now, I want it!"
The little boy lay down on the ground while crying.
Ding Miaomiao was speechless watching Du Chen's actions. Du Chen was too mean.
"Boss, please get me a pair of roller skates."
On the other side, the child's father spoke to Comrade Lao Du with a hint of helplessness. Obviously, he was unable to convince his son.
Comrade Lao Du happily took a pair of roller skates from the shelf behind him and handed them to the child's father, and then grabbed two pencils and handed them over.
When the little boy saw others bought roller skates, he cried even harder and even rolled on the ground.
"Hey, hurry up and get up! I just washed your clothes yesterday! I'll buy you some!"
The little boy's mother spoke to her son angrily and helplessly.
“Really…really…?”
The little boy stopped crying but was still sobbing.
"Buy, buy, buy! Get up!"
The little boy's mother reached out and pulled up her son who was lying on the ground, then took out money from her pocket.
"Give me one! You have to give me something too."
"No problem, sister! I'll give you a storybook! You can tell it to your kids when you get home."
The purchase price of a storybook is not much, but people feel that they are getting a great bargain, and Comrade Lao Du is also very happy about it.
After receiving the two children, Comrade Lao Du was very happy. Roller skates and scooters have been selling quite well these days. As more and more children play with roller skates and scooters, more children will definitely beg their parents to come and buy roller skates and scooters, and his business will get better and better.
"Du Chen, you're so mean. Did you specifically let Lin Lin ride the scooter?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Du Chen.
"No way, Sister Miaomiao, please don't blame me. It was cousin Linlin who wanted to play, right, Linlin?"
Du Chen would never admit it, but instead asked Lin Lin to cover for him.
Ding Miaomiao didn't look at Lin Lin who nodded. She was sure that it was definitely Du Chen's bad idea.
"That mother just now was quite nice. If I had rolled on the ground like that kid, I would have been beaten a long time ago."
Du Bin suddenly felt so miserable.
It's no wonder Du Bin thinks this way. Parents nowadays will fight if they disagree with each other. They will never reason with you or even compromise with their children. In the past two days, he has seen many children being beaten for being disobedient.
"Okay, okay, let's watch TV! The Legend of the New White Snake is about to start!"
Du Chen looked at the quartz watch in the store and found that it was almost half past twelve. The Yuncheng Education Channel started broadcasting "The Legend of the New White Snake" at noon. Du Chen had listened to the songs in the show, but he had only watched the TV series intermittently. He had not watched it from beginning to end.
There are not many other entertainment activities now, and TV is the biggest pastime. If there is a TV series he wants to watch, Du Chen will be busy chasing it every day.
"A thousand years of waiting
Wait a minute.
A thousand years of waiting
I have no regrets..."
As soon as the theme song sounded, Ding Miaomiao and Gu Yue started humming at the same time.
"White Lady is so beautiful!"
Gu Yue said enviously on the side that little girls had no resistance to the costume of White Snake.
Ding Miaomiao nodded in agreement. She also thought that White Snake was so beautiful.
"That's because you haven't seen The Bund. Zhao Yazhi was really pretty back then!"
Du Chen said something from the side.
"Really, Chenchen? I wonder where I can watch The Bund."
Ding Miaomiao asked Du Chen hopefully. Du Chen didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Anyway, as far as Du Chen can remember, none of the TV stations he could find on his TV had ever broadcast "The Bund".
"I don't know either, Sister Miaomiao, but I guess the video store in the city can buy this TV series. It's just that I don't have a VCR at home."
When the family just had money, Comrade Lao Du wanted to buy a VCR, but Du Chen stopped him. He knew that VCDs were already available, and although they were not yet popular, the fate of VCRs was predictable.
"My dad has a video recorder at his office! He even took it home to use!"
At this time, Ding Miaomiao looked at Du Chen expectantly.
"Then I'll ask my dad to go to the city and see if there's any videotapes."
Since there was nothing to do recently, Du Chen wanted to buy some videotapes to watch classic TV series.
