On a romantic beach, with a gentle breeze, Lin Xiaocui takes out her camera to capture the beautiful scenery before her eyes.
"Xiao Cui, come and take a picture for me."
Chen Yuan, wearing a stylish swimsuit that revealed her slender limbs, was waving at her.
At first, Lin Xiaocui wasn't used to their revealing clothes, but after seeing it many times, she got used to it.
Swimming requires a swimsuit; why would you need to be fully armed?
She noticed that these people often came to the beach and weren't surprised to see others wearing swimsuits.
If it were a couple of years ago, some people would definitely say it was indecent.
City people really do have more fun!
"Okay, Sister Chen, I'm coming right now." Lin Xiaocui, wearing a blue floral dress, jogged over.
Chen Yuan and her colleagues linked arms and smiled at the camera, waiting for her to take photos.
After the photo was taken, Chen Yuan splashed water and invited her to go into the water to play, but she declined shyly.
Seeing others wear it is one thing, wearing it yourself is another.
She was still a little reserved.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan abandoned her colleague and went ashore, saying to her after getting a large towel:
"Come on, let me treat you to ice cream."
Lin Xiaocui had ice cream at a Western restaurant last time. It was icy and sweet, and very delicious. Does the sanatorium have it too?
We followed Chen Yuan to the dining hall of the convalescent center.
In a corner, there was an ice cream machine. Chen Yuan picked up a small paper cup next to it, filled it with ice cream, and handed it to her.
How amazing! Just by pressing it, a big dollop of tempting, milky-white ice cream comes out. This is the first time Lin Xiaocui has ever seen such a machine.
Chen Yuan picked up another paper cup, intending to make herself a cup, and quickly said:
"Can I try it?"
Chen Yuan smiled and gladly handed the cup to her.
She also experienced the joy of getting ice cream.
The two then ate and chatted until they parted ways in the evening.
Lin Xiaocui returned to the beach and found that there were even more people after the sun went down in the evening.
The enclosed sea area was packed with people, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
There were quite a few people on the beach, gathered in small groups, drinking soda or beer and chatting.
Women and children like to hold an ice pop in their hands. In the sweltering heat, eating a cold ice pop is incredibly refreshing.
However, she discovered a problem: they had to go far out onto the beach to buy these things from small stalls.
When she was a child, she went to a tea factory to pick tea leaves. Back then, there were people carrying styrofoam boxes filled with popsicles and running around selling them. Didn't the people here ever think of that?
She went to the beach manager to ask about the regulations. He told her that popsicles weren't actually that popular; chilled beer, cola, and soda were more popular, but those things needed to be stored in a refrigerator, and there wasn't the space here to bring in a refrigerator to sell cold drinks.
Lin Xiaocui didn't believe in that nonsense. The recuperation center was closest to the beach, so they could easily bring the electricity over from there.
As for the refrigerator, she could consider buying one at the department store.
Once she had the idea, she immediately took action and asked the sanatorium if they could get electricity.
Through Chen Yuan, she found the person in charge of the convalescent center, identified herself, and sincerely proposed the idea of getting a power connection.
After hearing her idea, the person in charge found it interesting and agreed to her application for electricity at a rate of one cent per kilowatt-hour.
"Come find me whenever you need one, and I'll find you an electrician," the person in charge said readily.
Lin Xiaocui thanked Chen Yuan and then went to the department store without stopping.
Since the reform and opening up, refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines have replaced the "three turns and one sound" (refrigerator, watch, and radio) as the new three essential items for marriage.
At that time, there were only a few domestic refrigerator brands, so she randomly chose the Snow White brand and asked the salesperson how much it cost.
The sales clerk, seeing her young and naive appearance, like a student, spoke arrogantly:
"This one has a large capacity and costs eight hundred yuan. Can you afford it?"
Lin Xiaocui could afford it, but she only brought two hundred yuan with her when she went out, so she asked patiently with a smile, "Can I rent it?"
The salesperson's eyes widened immediately. Where can you rent this thing?!
"Go away, if you don't have money, don't cause trouble here." The saleswoman rolled her eyes and said irritably.
At that time, the sales clerks were all state employees, and whether they worked hard or not, they would get paid the same, so they wouldn't argue with you.
Seeing her increasingly arrogant attitude, Lin Xiaocui's stubborn temper flared up, and she took out her press pass and said:
"I heard your service was bad, and I thought it was just customers deliberately making trouble. Now it seems it's true. I wonder what people will think if I write about your service in a report?"
At this moment, the saleswoman panicked. She wasn't afraid of what the customers would think, but rather what her superiors would think. If it caused a bad impression, her salary would definitely be deducted.
"Dear reporter, I was truly blind to your greatness. Let's discuss this further!" The saleswoman put on an exaggerated smile.
Lin Xiaocui still had a stern face: "I think you just don't want to discuss this properly."
"How about this? I happen to have a defective refrigerator here, it was returned by someone else and they didn't want it anymore. I can sell it to you at a discount." The salesperson became very easy to talk to.
They all have some authority over defective products. They often create defects even when there aren't any, just to benefit their relatives. This refrigerator really does have a minor problem.
Both parties quickly reached an agreement, and Lin Xiaocui bought the refrigerator for two hundred yuan. Someone even delivered it to her designated location.
......
After returning, Lin Ye immediately threw himself into the intensive work of design optimization.
Tom has decided that his design will be located in the harbor of the port city, next to a park, where there are plans to build a large amusement park in the future. His design will also change its purpose, from a TV station to a simple observation deck.
Moreover, if such observation decks prove profitable in the future, they will be built in other cities.
Although the building's purpose has changed, he and Luo Chunlei are still very happy that the design itself can be put into use.
"Chunlei, I've really learned something new this time. Guess what kind of cartography the West uses now?" Lin Ye started chatting during his break from work.
Luo Chunlei raised an eyebrow and asked.
Lin Ye then explained about computer graphics, which left him momentarily stunned.
“I’m planning to get one too. Computer-aided design is definitely going to be the trend, and we can’t fall behind.”
Lin Ye felt that he still had a lot to learn.
Originally, he didn't even know how to draw by hand, but now he has to learn all this new knowledge. There really is no end to learning!
Just as the two were discussing, Han Lei knocked on the courtyard gate.
He hadn't seen Lin Xiaocui for over ten days. When he called the newspaper, they only said she had gone to Baidaihe on a business trip, and they didn't have her contact number. He was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I just talked to my wife yesterday. She's having a great time working and playing all at the same time."
After learning the purpose of his visit, Lin Ye comforted him.
Han Lei, however, did not seem to find comfort, and his expression became even more gloomy.
