Chapter 288 The sewing machine can no longer be sold
The skinny monkey had messy hair and one of his arms was wrapped in a thick bandage and hung around his neck. Liu Dabing, who was standing behind him, also had one foot wrapped in a bandage and was supported by a thick branch.
Both of their clothes were tattered, as if they had just returned from fleeing famine.
"What are you two doing?"
I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you two end up like this?
Su Xiaoxiao looked the two of them up and down for a moment and couldn't help but speak.
"It's still that shameless guy..."
Liu Dabing opened his mouth angrily, but was interrupted by the skinny monkey just as he started.
"Have you forgotten what we came here for?"
He glared at Liu Dabing, saying that this was a man without good eyesight. Now was not the time to curse, he had important matters to attend to.
Liu Dabing was so glared at that he stopped talking, puffed up his cheeks, and looked a little aggrieved.
Skinny Monkey said to Su Xiaoxiao with a serious face: "Comrade Su, don't sell your sewing machine for the next two days."
"Why?"
Su Xiaoxiao instinctively felt that something had happened. Although she had no close relationship with the two people, she had to accept the favor since they still reminded her in such a situation.
"A few days ago, when we were selling sewing machines, we were targeted by the black market boss Scar Brother's men. We had a fight, but don't worry, neither of us gave you a single word. I heard that he's been asking around for the source of sewing machines lately. You'd better be careful, he's not a good person."
"We're planning to go out and hide for a while, so we came to say goodbye to you. Please be careful."
As they were talking, two curious little heads suddenly popped out from the gate.
When the skinny monkey glanced over, he met two pairs of round eyes, staring at him curiously.
After staring at each other in silence for a moment, Su Jianwu took out a half-baked steamed bread from his pocket and handed it to him: "Here, beggar."
Skinny Monkey: “…”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look the two of them up and down again. It was true that their image was quite similar to that of the Beggars' Sect. It was no wonder that her fifth brother misunderstood.
She coughed twice and said, "Thank you, I will pay attention. It's getting late, you should go back quickly."
The two of them waved to Su Xiaoxiao, and limped away, supporting each other.
Su Jianwu looked at the steamed bread he hadn't given away and wondered, "Third sister, why did the beggar leave? Doesn't he like eating steamed bread?"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
In the evening, after the family had dinner, Su Xiaoxiao returned to the house and frowned slightly, thinking about what Shouhou had told her.
It seems that the sewing machine cannot be sold for the time being. What a pity, the market is just right for it.
After sitting on the edge of the kang for a while, she remembered that she still had a chance to win the lottery, so she rubbed her hands and opened the game interface.
My heart was trembling with excitement, but I made up my mind and pressed the button.
The lottery wheel spun rapidly, and she stared at it closely, not daring to blink.
After a moment, the rotation stopped and the pointer trembled and stopped at a certain position.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw it, she was delighted. It was actually a refrigerator. Although it was a small double-door refrigerator with a capacity of only 180 liters, she was very satisfied.
What she wished for came true. With this small refrigerator, she can stock up more delicious food in the future.
The most important issue now is to find an excuse to take out the refrigerator.
In this day and age, refrigerators are more valuable than televisions.
A refrigerator costs five or six hundred yuan, which is dozens of industrial coupons.
At this time, an ordinary worker could only get a few industrial coupons a year. If he wanted to buy a refrigerator, he would have to save up coupons for several years.
No one in the surrounding villages has it.
Most people in rural areas still dig cellars at home and store things in them.
Oh, I finally got lucky, but I can only look at it but not use it. It’s so annoying.
Su Xiaoxiao lay on the bed depressed, thinking about how to find an opportunity to take out the refrigerator, and fell asleep unknowingly.
She has excellent sleep quality and basically sleeps through the night.
I got up in a hurry and washed up. As soon as I entered the main room, I saw several bowls of hot rice porridge on the table.
It is mixed with corn grits, which is neither too thin nor too thick, and has a fragrant aroma.
Su Xiaoxiao hadn't had rice porridge for a long time. She swallowed hard, washed quickly, picked up the bowl and took a big sip.
After taking a deep breath, my stomach felt warm and comfortable.
There was also a plate of shredded pickled cabbage on the table.
You can tell at first glance that it’s been fried in oil. It’s fragrant, crispy and delicious, and goes perfectly with rice porridge.
She slurped down a bowl of porridge with shredded pickled cabbage, and touched her stomach comfortably. Having a bowl of porridge early in the morning was much more enjoyable than eating hard steamed bread.
After dinner, she rode her bike to the department store, still thinking about the refrigerator on the way.
When I was almost at the door, I saw Zhang Yulan walking in front of me from a distance.
I pedaled my bike a few times to catch up and was about to say hello when I noticed Zhang Yulan's red eyes.
Her face was wet and the corners of her mouth were a little broken, as if she had just cried.
Zhang Yulan glanced at her while she was still dazed. She quickly turned her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. Then she forced a smile and looked at her: "Xiaoxiao, good morning."
It was the first time that Su Xiaoxiao saw her like this. In her impression, Zhang Yulan had always been a strong-willed person, and she had never seen her so weak.
She couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zhang, what's wrong with you? What happened at home?"
Zhang Yulan's expression was obviously not very good when she mentioned her home, but she quickly returned to normal and forced a smile, "Nothing happened. I just accidentally got some sand in my eyes and wiped it off."
Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to ask any further questions.
There should be a sense of propriety between people. If someone doesn't want to talk, no matter how good their relationship is, she can't force them.
"That's good, Sister Zhang. Let me make this clear first. If you need any help from me, you must ask me. Otherwise, you don't consider me a friend."
As long as Sister Zhang is willing to talk to her, she will definitely try her best to help.
She has been working in the department store for so long and Sister Zhang has helped her a lot. When she first came, she didn't know anything, and it was Sister Zhang's help that enabled her to get started quickly.
Zhang Yulan is both a teacher and a friend to her.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you."
Zhang Yulan said this, realizing that Su Xiaoxiao usually came to work on time, and hurriedly asked her: "Xiaoxiao, what time is it now?"
"Seven twenty-eight."
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the two of them quickened their pace.
Work starts at 7:30, and there are only two minutes left.
When Chen Meilan met the two of them head-on, she was no longer surprised by Su Xiaoxiao's behavior of arriving at work late, but she was a little surprised to see Zhang Yulan.
Zhang Yulan is an old employee and is usually one of the first to arrive every day. What happened today?
Looking at his face again, there are faint dark circles under his eyelids, which shows that he didn't sleep well at night.
"Sister Zhang, what are you doing?"
She couldn't help but say with concern that after being together for so long, the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
Zhang Yulan shook her head: "Director Chen, I'm fine. I'm going to work first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing that the time was up, Chen Meilan didn't want to continue asking, after all, their relationship was not that good yet.
Just as Su Xiaoxiao stepped onto the counter, a voice with obvious hostility came from behind her.
