Although Li Shengli is extremely chauvinistic and very concerned about his reputation, he is willing to spend money on his wife and children. He just received his salary this month and before he had time to send money home, he directly took out two hundred yuan and put it in his pocket.
Guo Caixia agreed: "So much money is safe, our family only needs 20 yuan to buy clothes."
She rarely bought new clothes when she was young. Clothes for the two children only cost a few dollars each. Children grow up quickly, so adding two sets of clothes per season was considered too much.
Li Shengli glared at her and said, "Twenty yuan is enough for a meal? A shirt in the department store costs dozens of yuan. I'm afraid these two hundred yuan won't be enough!"
His monthly salary alone was more than 300 yuan, and the company's dividend at the end of the year was a huge sum. Of course, he had never told Guo Caixia about such things as shareholder dividends, because if he had told her, she would have understood.
Guo Caixia twitched her lips, but did not refute: "Well, then put it in your inner pocket, and don't drop it, there is so much money."
Li Shengli now feels that two hundred yuan is a lot of money. Although he is particular about food and drink, he is always generous to the workers on the construction site. He helps anyone who has any problem, and he feels bad when he gives out ten or twenty yuan.
As time went by, the brothers who worked with him all respected him very much. When they came to Pengcheng to work, more than 20 male laborers didn't say anything, they just carried their burdens and took the train. A saying spread among them.
Follow Brother Li and eat meat!
Arriving at Pengcheng Department Store, Guo Caixia and her two children were dazzled by the sight. They dared not even take a second look, let alone buy clothes. My God, a dress costs 58 yuan! Is it made of gold?
A book for children costs more than ten yuan! It costs two yuan to sew one at home with canvas!
Even a pair of leather shoes worn by children can be exchanged for more than ten kilograms of pork belly!
Guo Caixia shook her head like a rattle: "Okay, okay, Shengli, let's go out quickly. The clothes at home are much cheaper than here."
Li Shengli would listen to his wife. He directly took a dress priced at 50 yuan and put it on her and said, "This one looks good. Buy it!"
After Guo Caixia refuted, she took a new book for her son and said, "You are already in junior high school, buy this!"
Then he got a skirt and some small leather shoes for his daughter, and said the same thing: "Buy!"
Shopping, shopping, shopping, Guo Caixia became completely numb!
She calculated the bill in her mind for a long time and found that she didn't buy many things, and the two hundred yuan was almost enough to spend...
Li Shengli was still looking at a pair of black leather shoes with great interest. They were made of lambskin, with a soft sole and nice style. He saw that Xie Yunshu seemed to have worn a similar pair, so he took a pair without thinking: "Go try it on."
Guo Caixia shrank back with her black cloth shoes on: "I'm 놊놚!"
Li Shengli's eyes widened: "If I tell you to try, then go ahead and try. Why are you talking like that? Why are you coming to Pengcheng to find me?"
Guo Caixia came because she was worried about him, the child missed his dad, but she knew that Li Shengli was fine, and she spent so much money to come here, and she guaranteed that he would get on the train!
The waiters in Pengcheng are paid according to their commissions, and their service attitude is much better than those in state-owned units. They just noticed Li Shengli, the rich man, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Sister, what size shoes do you wear? I'll give you a pair to try. This pair of shoes is very comfortable..."
Li Wenjie and his father have always been close, but now holding a brand new book and a toy gun, he took the initiative to say: "Mom, you try it!"
Li Xinran was even happier holding the princess dress and little leather shoes: "Mom, you wear a dress and little leather shoes!"
With three pairs of eyes staring at her, Guo Caixia had no choice but to try on the shoes. Just as she stood up and walked around twice, she heard Li Shengli's loud voice: "Buy!"
Her heart ached so much that it bled...
We bargained and bought whatever we liked. It took a whole day, and in the morning, the family of four returned home with a full load. Of course, the two hundred yuan was spent completely.
Guo Caixia said she was going to the kitchen to eat. She cooked all the rice she brought with her in a big pot, and then took it to the project department to eat together. She gave one to Xie Yunshu first: "Boss Xie, would you like to try some sweet rice?"
This year, there was little rain and plenty of sunshine, so the rice was big and sweet. She was willing to eat it at home, but now she was afraid that she would dislike it if she gave it to the boss.
Xie Yunshu took a bite with a smile, his eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, this rice is sweet and sticky, it's really delicious."
The spring bud ate one and mumbled, "It's delicious. I haven't had the chance to eat the rice grown at home this year. There's no rice for sale in Pengcheng. I'm so greedy!"
Guo Caixia smiled and said, "They are not sold here. It is harvest season, just like ours."
Xie Yunshu quickly finished a bowl of rice and was a little surprised when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, you also know this?"
Brother Li, are you saying that Sister Li even knows where Pengcheng is?
Guo Caixia was embarrassed to speak: "When I had nothing to do, I listened to the loudspeaker from the brigade, which talked about knowledge about this area. I learned that the crops in the southernmost part are the same as those in the north."
Xie Yunshu nodded: "You must know more about crops than us."
After receiving the praise, Guo Caixia became bolder and talked more: "I only know how to grow crops and cook, I don't know anything else."
Li Shengli ate two bowls of rice in one breath, patted his belly and laughed: "Caixia knows a few words, and can even write her own name when she goes to the bank to open a passbook..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Wenjie on the side retorted: "That was several years ago. Mom can write a lot more words now!"
He and his sister both go to school, and the family would read the textbooks to Guo Caixia. Although Guo Caixia is not well educated now, she at least knows a few hundred words.
Li Shengli laughed and pointed at Han Jing: "Look at this uncle, he is a top student who graduated from Jingbei University. How dare you say that you can read? You two should study hard in the future, don't be like us who have no culture at all."
Han Jing was eating the rice from Li's house. He was embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Li, I also know the things you and sister-in-law know. We each have our own advantages and disadvantages."
Li Shengli muttered, "Your sister-in-law only knows how to farm, what else can she do?"
