As soon as we entered the supply and marketing cooperative, it was bustling with young men and women from the county.
A wrinkle-free Dacron floral shirt that is visible to the eye.
This is the most popular material nowadays.
The price is expensive, far more expensive than pure cotton material.
Girls even braid their hair in various styles.
Those who come from well-off families wear a big flower tied on their braids.
Those with average financial conditions also wear red hairbands as decoration.
Especially in front of the counter selling hair flowers, there were many girls gathered.
As a group of three people squeezed in front of the counter, He Xiaoyu's two bow-knot hair ornaments instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are many red hairbands and red hairpins in the counter, and there are even hairpins and various kinds of hair flowers that are only available in big cities.
But there is definitely no bow tie like the one He Xiaoyu wore.
He Xiaoyu has been living in the countryside for many years, but the style of the big city is still much better than that of the small border town in the northeast.
Besides, Lu Xinghe was there to help.
The clever He Xiaoyu has already designed many styles of hair ornaments.
Li Chunhua asked about the price one by one. The more he observed the way people around him looked at He Xiaoyu, the more confident he became.
But the sales clerks at the supply and marketing cooperative were not happy about it. After all, they were serious state-owned employees.
If it weren't for the nice-looking hairstyle He Xiaoyu wore, she wouldn't have paid any attention to these customers who just looked but didn't buy.
I just keep asking questions and I don’t even have time to knit a sweater.
Then, the three of them asked about the price of the rags.
At this time, there were scraps of cloth for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative, most of which were carefully selected, and the prices were much higher than those in the tailor shop that Lu Xinghe mentioned.
The price of each piece is not cheap.
The salesmen at the rag counter looked like they were from the production team below, judging by their attire.
She was kind enough to tell the three that if they had no requirements for the appearance of the rags, they could go to the factory and buy them by the pound.
Many families buy that kind of rags to fill their clothes or take them home to make mops.
Of course, the three of them finally went to a tailor shop, and asking the price was secondary.
㹏If you want to know how many scraps of cloth can be produced in a week.
After sorting out all the necessary information, the three of them sat on the side of the road, and everyone had a smile on their face!
You know what, this job is really good! !
At the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, even those hair ornaments that were not as beautiful as those made by He Xiaoyu could only be bought for 80 cents at the highest price!
Even some hairpins can be bought for more than one dollar!
Despite such a high price, beautiful hair flowers are in short supply.
As for the cost, even the scraps of cloth sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives can be controlled within ten cents.
This is the price for buying yellow rubber bands individually. If you can go to the purchasing station, you can buy them in packages.
The price will be even lower!
However, going to the purchasing station is the most difficult step.
The three of them watched the factory employees coming and going on their bicycles to work.
They all cheered themselves up.
"Xinghe, Xiaoyu, you two are great. If this works, everyone in our village will be able to afford a bicycle!
This thing rides really fast and can seat two people, which is great. ”
The bicycles at that time were all large-frame bicycles.
Some guys were pulling one in the front and there was another sitting on the back seat.
It makes people even envy.
"Captain Li, don't even talk about bicycles. From now on, under your leadership, everyone in our village will be able to watch TV!"
Li Chunhua waved her hands hurriedly when she heard this. She didn't dare to think about something like a television, which she had only heard of but never seen.
However, she didn't understand the meaning of Lu Xinghe's words at all.
The three of them gathered their strength, and Li Chunhua patted his trembling calves.
I plucked up my courage and walked towards the purchasing station.
After all, success or failure depends on this one move. As the village women's team leader, it would be strange if she was not nervous.
At this time, in front of the purchasing station.
Li Ruonan, a tomboy with short hair, was sitting on the ground with a few teenage kids, rolling around.
While crying, Li Ruonan squinted her eyes to observe the situation in the purchasing station.
"Goudan, Gousheng! You two should speak louder!"
"And Goubuli, try to squeeze out your tears, your howling is so fake!"
Li Ruonan hit several little boys nearby on the head to ask them to act more realistically.
These are the children from the forest farm.
They were all brought here by Li Ruonan before dawn.
The reason they do this is that they rely on the fact that these are children and they won’t be caught if they make a fuss at the purchasing station.
I want to get back the cotton and two bags of plush socks that were confiscated by the purchasing station.
After all, this really has something to do with Lu Xinghe.
Ever since she earned three dollars from Lu Xinghe that day, she seemed to have found the "meaning of life."
Three dollars!
Her father does the most dangerous job in the forest farm, working with a chainsaw.
The monthly salary is only twenty-six yuan and eighty cents!
She just followed Lu Xinghe for half a day and earned three dollars!
Lu Xinghe was so generous when he paid the money without even blinking an eye.
If she takes good care of this big client, she will earn more than her father who has always looked down on her.
Proving to her father that she is no worse than boys has always been a knot in her heart.
Only then did I decide to get on the train and go to the market to buy two large bags of cotton and the best plush socks sold in the black market there.
But, it was her first time doing this and she seemed inexperienced.
The cargo was not thrown out of the train before it arrived at the station.
As soon as he got off the car, he was caught red-handed in speculation and profiteering.
Seeing that Li Ruonan was too young and it was a first offense, they simply confiscated the goods.
As for how the speculators knew that these goods were of unknown origin.
After all, cotton is a hot commodity in Northeast China, and purchases will come with receipts. As for the plush socks, they are completely new. Who can afford two big bags? Do they have so many pairs of feet at home?
Moreover, if Li Ruonan insisted on saying that she bought it herself to wear.
Then it’s not as simple as confiscation.
The first of the “One Strike, Three Antis” campaign is to oppose extravagance and waste!
That would be a county-wide criticism meeting, and the entire forest farm would be involved!
Materials were scarce in that era, and all confiscated goods were sent to the purchasing office for resale.
This led to the scene where Li Ruonan made a scene at the door.
"Little pockmarked face?" As soon as the three of them walked to the purchasing station, Lu Xinghe recognized the tomboy sitting among the children. "What are you doing here? What? Do you have connections here?"
Lu Xinghe had a strange look on his face. Even in his lifetime, he had never seen any child dare to make trouble in the purchasing station!
"It has nothing to do with you! Humph!!"
When Li Ruonan saw Lu Xinghe, she pouted in grievance.
Although in the final analysis, this cannot be blamed on Lu Xinghe.
But as she was still a minor, when she met such a grown-up boy, she still wanted to have someone to complain to.
"Really? Then I'll go in."
Lu Xinghe smiled happily and lowered his head to tell He Xiaoyu about their relationship.
Li Chunhua took this opportunity to go to the security department of the purchasing station to register.
The brigade's letter of introduction had already been issued.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to knock on the door of the security department.
At this time, the security department was formal and serious.
Especially in important units like supply and marketing cooperatives, the security officers in the security department all carry guns.
Only the ones that Li Ruonan brought with her were children.
Or maybe it’s the security department’s hot temper.
The adults had already been taken to the security room, and a beating was inevitable.
