Xi Youyou didn't hesitate and spoke directly, "The weather is too hot. I want to buy a fan. Can you give me some money?"
She was actually a little embarrassed when she said the last sentence, because in her previous life she had always relied on herself and had never asked anyone for money.
It's hard to say such words.
The reason why she said this was because the original owner had plotted against Jiang Cimo back then, so he had no intention of giving his salary to the original owner. His salary had always been sent back to the old couple.
If you want to buy something now, you must ask the old couple.
After all, the original owner used to ask the old couple to eat whatever he wanted.
Knowing that Xi Youyou wanted money to buy a fan, the old couple looked at each other, and Xu Xiu felt a little unhappy.
She originally thought that Xi Youyou had really changed, but she didn't expect her to come asking for money again today.
She wanted to buy a fan, definitely for her own use, because she had been unable to sleep at night due to the heat recently.
It turns out that the reason why she performed so well was just for this fan.
There must be some motive behind his good performance.
But since she has been behaving well, life at home has been pretty good recently.
Besides, the house really needs a fan.
Although Xi Youyou would definitely take it back to her room to use at night, she would also give it to the two children during the day. Recently, she has become more patient with the children.
Don't be harsh on your children.
Well, this money still needs to be spent.
"good."
After Xu Xiu finished speaking, she put the shoe soles she was holding aside and turned into the house to get the money. Jiang Fenglin hesitated to speak, with mixed feelings.
He had said it long ago that there must be some ulterior motive, but Xu Xiu didn't believe it and thought that his daughter-in-law would become a better person.
Is it okay now?
Forget it. Xi Youyou doesn’t take a nap at noon anyway, so it’s okay if the children can blow it while they are taking a nap. I’ll just think of it as doing it for the two grandchildren.
Jiang Fenglin thought the same as Xu Xiu.
It was the 1980s, the early years of reform, and individual businesses were allowed. Fans and televisions were sold in batches, and Xu Xiu knew the approximate prices.
When he came out, he handed 150 yuan to Xi Youyou.
"A fan is about 110-120 yuan. If the price is high, remember to bargain. Don't buy at a loss."
"You can buy whatever you want with the remaining money, just buy some food for the children."
As long as Xi Youyou behaves well, the old couple will give her some money.
"Thank you, Mom."
"I'll be back soon."
Xi Youyou smiled sweetly, took the money and walked out after she finished her words. Jiang Fenglin sighed beside her, "See, I said she..."
"If nothing else, the children have smiled more these past two days, and she is no longer as lazy as before. She even knows how to cook for us. Even if she has something to ask for, just let her do it!"
The original owner was so bad before, and they thought it was a good thing that Xi Youyou behaved like this.
Just don't make trouble for others all day long.
That's worse than asking for money!
Xi Youyou had no idea what the two old people were thinking. She was quite happy when she walked out. Anyway, the two children were sleeping, so she could come back early.
It is not far from the department store.
There was a bicycle at home. She was a little unskilled at riding it for a few minutes, but she managed to ride it smoothly after she got out of here.
When they arrived at the department store, Xi Youyou strolled around everywhere.
The department stores of this era are very different from the large shopping malls we visit in later generations, and the difference is huge.
The things in the big shopping malls of later generations are dazzling and eye-catching.
But things are different in this era. With the development of self-employed individuals, department stores are no longer run entirely by people who are paid by the government.
Many self-employed individuals have settled here.
Xi Youyou still likes this place very much.
In this era, it is not easy to have a huge sum of 150 yuan. Although there are many self-employed individuals, many people dare not do it, and some people feel ashamed.
Therefore, those who get rich are always those who are brave.
After walking around for a while, she saw that the price of an electric fan was about 120 yuan, so she went into a store and bargained with the proprietress, and managed to reduce the price of the fan from 125 yuan to 115 yuan.
Xi Youyou is quite good at talking, thanks to the fact that in her previous life, when she returned to her hometown, her grandmother took her to the market to buy things.
My grandmother said that you don’t need to bargain where the price is fixed, because it’s embarrassing and you won’t be able to get the price down.
But it is still possible to negotiate at such a large market. She excitedly bargained with others for more than ten minutes and only managed to get the price down by a few cents, but she was also excited.
I learned all this from my grandma, and they are very useful!
