Chapter 1023 Everything is due to greed (VI)
After leaving the scrap station, Lu Xiaoxiao found a deserted place and put the dictionary and newspaper into her space. Then she quickly walked towards the bookstore. She had just spent a lot of time at the scrap station, so she had to hurry, otherwise Liu Ermei would be waiting anxiously.
"Comrade, do you have any dictionaries? I want to buy three." Lu Xiaoxiao said to the salesperson after arriving at the bookstore.
"Yes, yes, but why did you buy so much?" The salesperson asked Lu Xiaoxiao after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
“I bought it for my classmate.”
"So that's how it is. The dictionaries are on that shelf. Just go over there and pick up three to check out."
"Thanks."
When Lu Xiaoxiao came to the shelf the salesperson pointed to, she saw the dictionary she needed on the first shelf, so she picked up three and walked towards the counter.
"Excuse me, how much are these three dictionaries?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the salesperson.
"That's six dollars."
After hearing the price, Lu Xiaoxiao took out six dollars from her bag and handed it to the salesperson, then she asked the salesperson to help her wrap the dictionary in paper.
After leaving the bookstore, Lu Xiaoxiao found a deserted place and put two dictionaries into the space. Then she walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative with a dictionary in her hand.
"Xiaoxiao, you're finally here. I thought something happened to you just now, otherwise why didn't you come back for so long."
"I wasted some time buying the dictionary just now. Have you finished your shopping?"
"No."
"What's wrong? Don't you see anything you like?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing Liu Ermei's words.
"No, I want to buy a pair of Jiefang shoes for my dad, but the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have them."
"Go to the department store, they might be there."
"good."
When Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Ermei arrived at the department store, they walked straight to the back. When they came to the shoe section and saw Jiefang shoes for sale, they asked the salesperson, "Hello, how much is a pair of Jiefang shoes?"
"One dollar and thirty cents, seven industrial coupons."
Liu Ermei immediately wilted when she heard the price. She had enough money, but she only had six industrial coupons, so it seemed she couldn't buy the shoes today.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go. We'll come back to buy it another day." Liu Ermei tugged at Lu Xiaoxiao's sleeve and whispered to her.
"What's wrong?"
"I only have six industrial vouchers, one short."
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, the salesperson looked at her with disdain, and then said with disdain: "If you don't have money, don't come to the department store, so as to avoid embarrassment."
When Liu Ermei heard the salesperson's words, her face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and then she said to Lu Xiaoxiao anxiously: "Xiaoxiao, let's go quickly."
"Wait, what size shoes does your dad wear?"
"What? Why are you asking that?"
"How many yards?"
"Forty-three."
"Comrade, I want a pair of Liberation shoes in size 43." Lu Xiaoxiao said to the salesperson.
"Do you have money? Don't let me take the shoes and you don't have money to buy them. That would be a waste of my labor."
"Comrade, I want a pair of size 43 Liberation shoes. If you don't know where to get the shoes, then I will have to ask your leader to buy them for me."
The salesperson was shocked when she heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said. Although she didn't believe that Lu Xiaoxiao would go to the leader, what if Lu Xiaoxiao did? Then she would be finished. She didn't dare to gamble with her future. So she quickly found a pair of size 43 shoes for Lu Xiaoxiao and handed it to her.
