Chapter 537: Unexpectedly, they are all acquaintances



"If you can't afford it, then don't pretend. I won't buy it even if you ask me to."

The salesperson rolled his eyes after saying this.

Continue to act superior.

Sun Jiaxue said, "It seems that the Shanghai market is just like this. No wonder people say that Shanghai people have high expectations."

When Li Mingqing heard this, he smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

There is progress.

Know that you should fight back when you encounter injustice.

"Do you know how much this schoolbag costs? Twenty yuan. Can you afford it?"

"Your monthly salary is only about thirty or forty yuan. You definitely can't afford it based on your income, but we have to try on this backpack today. Whether we can afford it or not is another matter."

Li Mingqing said sarcastically.

"You—redneck."

"We are upright country folk who have nothing to fear from the shadows. The Chairman said we should respect working people. Who do you think you are to dare to engage in capitalist practices? You are not worthy of working here. You are looking down on others."

When the height came up, the salesperson stammered and couldn't say a word.

She took off her schoolbag angrily.

Niu Niu tried it on her back.

Just right.

The color suits her very well.

Sun Jiaxue took out twenty yuan from her pocket and bought the schoolbag very readily.

The salesperson who was about to laugh almost suffocated.

I actually bought it!

Twenty dollars!

This is twenty dollars.

She works here every day and has had her eye on this bag for a long time but has never been willing to buy it.

Unexpectedly, people from other places bought it immediately.

My mind was a little confused for a moment.

"What are you staring at? Do you think others can't afford it just like you? Are you going to take the money or not?"

After Li Mingqing said this, the salesperson reacted and accepted the money.

Open the documents.

Niu Niu happily skipped forward with her new schoolbag on her back.

Old man Li glanced back at the shop he had just visited and whispered, "So people in big cities are also so scornful of the poor and in love with the rich."

"Yeah, I didn't expect to encounter something like this here."

It’s hard to put it into words for Old Lady Li.

"Dad, Mom, this kind of thing happens more often in big cities. You have to treat people differently based on their situation."

"Hey, it's your mother and I who brought shame to you."

"Why you say that? It's the salesperson's fault."

Old Mrs. Li and Old Man Li looked at each other and they really looked like they were from a small place.

In contrast, Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue do not give people this feeling.

"Big girl, you've been wandering around for so long, is there anything you want to buy? Uncle will buy it for you."

Several children shook their heads.

Just take a look to satisfy your envious eyes.

They were also shocked by the price of the schoolbag.

If I remember correctly, my father's monthly salary at the factory was only about 30 yuan.

There's no need to buy something so expensive.

The same can be done if you buy it from the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county or town.

The sun was setting when the family left the mall.

The weather is finally cooler without the sun.

Li Mingqing took out a camera from his pocket.

"Come, stand still. I'll take some tourist photos of you."

"Oh my goodness, it's so convenient to buy a camera. I don't have to go to a photo studio to take pictures."

Everyone took a photo in front of the classic building, Peace Hotel.

Li Mingqing's family of five also took a photo.

"Let's go in and have a meal."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Li became alarmed.

"I'm so full after dinner. Just wait until tomorrow when you and Jiaxue can bring Xiaohong, Xiaozhe and Niuniu."

"What's this for? If we're together, we have to eat together."

“Things here definitely aren’t cheap.”

"It's okay. I still have money to treat your son to a meal. We're out having fun. Don't let money hold you back. I've been a doctor for so many years and have saved a little."

Li Mingqing comforted.

It seems that the salesperson in the mall just now left a psychological trauma on the two elders.

Sun Jiaxue nodded and said, "Yes, I'm not afraid of having no money."

But she knew how much the "small change" Li Mingqing was talking about was.

Even if you live here for a year, you still can’t spend all of it.

She was shocked when she was counting the accounts at home a few days ago.

I knew my family was rich, but I didn't expect they had so much money.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the best in the country.

Old man Li gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's come to this restaurant tomorrow to eat and try what it tastes like."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "That's right."

Xiangdong asked, "Uncle, when was this restaurant built?"

"It was built in the 1920s. It combines European classical architecture with traditional Chinese architecture. It looks magnificent from the outside and even more luxurious inside. The history has endowed it with special significance."

Xiangxi and the others listened attentively.

I've seen it in a book before, and this time I saw it for real.

I was particularly excited at the thought of being able to go in for dinner someday.

"I'm going to buy this place someday," Xiaohong said in a weird tone.

I was amused by these childish words.

"You really have a goal. If you can really buy it, your mother and I will eat and drink delicious food with you."

"Okay, Dad, I'll try my best."

“Try your best.”

This land has been handed over to the state.

From the moment I got off the train and saw the bustling scene to now, I have been dazzled by the prosperity of Shanghai.

Exquisiteness is revealed everywhere.

When the family returned to Xu's house, they saw Xu Jianshu and Old Mrs. Xu walking at the door.

"How about it?"

"It's very different from the north. Let's go somewhere else tomorrow."

"I'll go with you."

Xu Jianshu felt uncomfortable staying at home.

He felt full of energy and the surgery had no impact at all.
