“What a pity.”
Su Nan pouted and mumbled something, but Su Yang, who was squatting beside her, heard it. He tugged at her sleeve and asked in confusion, "Sister, what's wrong? Isn't there anything you want to buy here?"
"no."
Su Nan shook his head, regained his composure, and began to rummage through the pile of messy things. He was surprised to find that the whole basket was full of women's things.
What kind of vanishing cream, body oil, rouge box, clam oil, hair band...
Su Nan pulled the corners of his lips. It was really incongruous for such a grown man to sell these things. Besides, how did he get the goods?
If she remembered correctly, these things were now controlled items, right? The production rights were all in the hands of the state, and even the supply and marketing cooperatives had to purchase them in limited quantities with tickets.
It seems that this person has some skills.
Su Nan pushed aside a pile of vanishing cream and soon found a cylindrical object in the corner.
Her heart began to get excited. She took two deep breaths and pulled off the black cap, revealing the red paste inside.
"What is this?" Su Yang was confused and didn't understand why Su Nan was so happy to see this thing.
"Lipstick, it's my life."
Su Nan looked at it left and right as if it were a treasure. Although the color was that old-fashioned bright red, it was lipstick.
There is no such thing as a must-have beauty item.
In the past, Su Nan would not go out without applying it. Without it, the whole makeup would lose its soul, the food would not taste good, and the water would not taste sweet.
So, isn't lipstick her life?
She visited the largest shopping mall in Shanghai yesterday. Not only was the variety of cosmetics limited, but they were also extremely expensive. A box of vanishing cream cost almost a month's salary for an ordinary worker.
Let’s not talk about money for now. That thing doesn’t even require a ticket. Without a ticket, no matter how much you offer, they won’t sell it to you.
Where did she get the tickets? All the family tickets were in Lin Yuemei's hands, and she didn't know if there were any such tickets.
Even if she had a ticket, she had no money.
She now only had five dollars in her hand, which was the pocket money that the original owner had saved for a long time in order to buy the braid.
Su Nan felt so depressed. She had never suffered such hardship in her life. She had nothing she wanted and could not afford to buy anything. Life was really hard.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Su Yang was hesitant to speak. Looking at Su Nan, who was almost jumping for joy one moment and gritting his teeth the next, he couldn't help but worry.
And what did his sister say just now? Her life? How is it related to life?
Although they don't understand what lipstick is, they can tell from the packaging that it is not cheap and they may not be able to afford it.
But she really seemed to like it.
Su Yang silently pinched the private money in the dark layer of the army green shoulder bag, gritted his teeth, and said, "Sister likes to talk..."
"Boss, how much is this?"
Su Nan put away her joy, pretending not to be very satisfied. She put down the lipstick, picked up another box of clam oil, and said in a cold voice with a stern face.
But she couldn't let the boss see what she was thinking, otherwise what if he raised the price at the last minute?
Hearing this, Zhou Rang raised his eyelids and said lazily, "Seven dollars, no ticket required."
Wow, that’s expensive.
Nowadays, a bowl of 2 liang plain noodles costs 8 cents, an egg costs 1 cent, and 100 jin of rice costs only 17 yuan. How can this little box of clam oil cost 7 yuan? Are they robbing people?
Wouldn't lipstick be more expensive? After all, lipstick is still a rare commodity in this era.
Su Nan curled her lips, put down the box of clam oil, asked about the prices of a few things, and then picked up the lipstick again.
"What about this one?" If it exceeds the budget, she will definitely give it up reluctantly.
After all, in this era of hunger and cold, spending so much money on a lipstick is too wasteful.
Besides, she also wanted to save some money for the countryside.
Zhou Rang put out his almost finished cigarette and glanced at Su Nan's face, which seemed to be very nervous but she thought it was a good disguise. He just found it funny.
"Two dollars." Is it too expensive? What if I make this little girl cry?
Zhou Rang frowned and rubbed the cigarette butt with his fingers twice.
Just as he was about to ask to change the price, he saw the person in front of him smiling so hard that his eyes curved into crescent shapes. He quickly stuffed the things into his bag, and then, as if afraid that he would regret it, he interrupted and said, "It's settled."
"Yeah." He silently took back the words that were about to come out.
Su Nan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him respond, and hurriedly took out two rolls of crumpled things that looked like a bunch of waste paper from her bag.
"Here, two dollars, not a penny less." Su Nan stood up, took a last look at the pile of money with reluctance, and then handed it to the man quickly.
Su Yang was dumbfounded behind him. His sister was really rich. It seemed that she didn't need his help anymore.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the inside of the bag again. Inside lay the money he had saved by cutting back on his expenses.
I started to feel sad for no reason...
"Um."
Zhou Rang responded and finally emerged from the darkness, with the dim light shining on his face.
At that moment, the beautiful voice took shape.
The man had a cold pale complexion, with fine black hair covering his full forehead. His eyelids were slightly drooping, so she could only see two rows of thick, long eyelashes. His nose was high, and his pale, thin lips were tightly pursed.
Every contour line seems gentle yet contains a sharp and cold feeling.
Their fingertips touched, and Su Nan took his hand back first, hiding it behind his back and wrinkling his clothes.
Damn, she is obsessed with looks.
Su Nan took a deep breath, trying to ignore the heat on his face, and said, "Handsome guy, no, boss, why don't you consider giving me a box of vanishing cream or a hairband? I spent a lot of money to buy things from you."
"ah?"
The one who spoke was not Zhou Rang, but Su Yang who looked shocked.
Su Nan couldn't help but roll her eyes. This action was really inconsistent with her cold and beautiful face, causing the other two people to be stunned.
"What do you know, little kid? Why do you butt in when adults are talking?" Su Nan turned around and glared at Su Yang.
Do you know what gifts are? Are the tricks that major businesses use in live broadcasts good?
Then he put on a smile and said to Zhou Rang, "Boss, I will introduce new customers to you next time. I have many young ladies here. I guarantee your business will be prosperous."
Su Yang was stunned by the yelling. He lowered his head in grievance and shut his mouth obediently, his hands constantly stirring in front of his body.
The boss is not stupid, how could he agree to it?
Who knew that the next second, I heard that deep voice: "Okay, pick whatever you like and bring it with you."
Su Yang raised his head in disbelief. Could he really be a fool?
Who does business like this? Wouldn't they lose a lot of money?
Hearing this, Su Nan was also startled, then he smiled, stood on tiptoe, reached out and patted the man on the shoulder, praising him: "Boss, you are such a good person, that's right, I will patronize your business next time."
Zhou Rang subconsciously moved his shoulders to avoid Su Nan's contact. His eyebrows jumped violently, and he looked away without saying a word.
It's really weird.
Su Nan didn't notice his evasive action. She had already withdrawn her hand and happily began to pick out the gifts. In the end, she chose a box of vanishing cream that looked the best.
For such a good opportunity, she had to pick the most expensive one to bring along.
