"Wen Wei, stop talking halfway. What's so weird about that the second time?" Liu Min urged anxiously.
Wen Wei lit up the cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled a cloud of white smoke. "The second time, Wen Wan went to stay at the guesthouse in advance and ate steamed buns and porridge in the guesthouse on the morning of the exam. As a result, Wen Wan was poisoned and hospitalized, while the others ate it and nothing happened."
They were all saying privately that it was because the feng shui of the Wen family's ancestors' burials was not right that one by one their academic performance was poor, and those with good academic performance could not even enter the examination room.
More than an hour passed.
The car squeaked and stopped next to the department store.
Wen Wan sensed the movement and opened his sleepy eyes, "Are we there yet?"
"Just arrived." Zhou Haoting whispered softly.
Wen Guan regained consciousness in a moment and said, "We have to go early. If we go too late, all the good things will be gone." She suffered a loss the last time she went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Haoting swallowed the words he wanted to say, touched his nose, raised his wrist to look at his watch, it was half past nine.
Looking at the three-story department store in front of him, Wen Guan was distracted for a moment.
"Xiao Wan, should we go directly to buy sewing machines and bicycles, or go shopping for other things?" Zhou Haoting asked with a smile.
He hadn't been to the department store in the county town for several years. He remembered that when he was twelve or thirteen years old, he secretly went to the river to catch fish and sold them to people in the county town in exchange for food.
Wen Wan touched his chin and said, "Let's go shopping first." She couldn't even sew, so why would she need a sewing machine?
Looking at each counter one by one, Wen Guan had a general understanding of the materials of today's era.
The saddest thing is that now no matter what you buy, you need a ticket. It’s not enough to just have money, you also need a ticket.
Zhou Haoting followed behind and reminded, "Xiao Wan, the sewing machines and bicycles are on the second floor. We can go and take a look."
"Zhou Hao..." Wen Wan had just called out two words when she remembered that in the morning her parents had told her not to be disrespectful and not to call Zhou Haoting by his full name.
She changed the topic and said, "Brother Hao, I don't know how to sew. Even if you buy a sewing machine, I don't know how to use it." This showed that she didn't want to buy it.
Zhou Haoting paused and said, "Xiao Wan, I respect your idea. I will give you the ticket and money for the sewing machine. You can buy it later if you want."
In fact, he wanted to buy it and bring it to the Wen family for Wen's mother and others to use, but he was afraid that his behavior would be too radical and make Wen Wan uncomfortable.
Wen Wan nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's go and look at the bicycles now."
Going up to the second floor, it was obviously much quieter than the first floor.
Saleswoman Wang Feng saw the two people coming upstairs, glanced at their clothes, and greeted them with a smile, "Comrade, do you want to see bicycles or radios? We also have watches here."
The manager called a meeting a few days ago and specifically warned their sales clerks to pay attention to their service attitude. With the rampant middlemen on the black market now, it's been difficult for them to sell the goods on the second floor.
"Sister, let's take a look at the bicycles." Wen Guan stated his purpose directly.
When Wang Feng heard this, she smiled and enthusiastically led the way, "Comrade, you should come to our department store. We have the best and most complete products in the whole city."
As he spoke, he turned a large square pillar and saw a row of ten bicycles of different colors.
"Comrade, if I were to buy one for you, I'd recommend the pink one. It looks the best and suits your skin tone the best." Wang Feng pointed at the most expensive bicycle and introduced it to you enthusiastically.
