Liu Yafang smiled a little sheepishly. "I wanted to go to the Friendship Store. I didn't need anything, so I just wanted to take a look. I was curious once and leaned over to look through the window, but those two guys standing at the door chased me away."
Bi Tiegang: "You're so confused about everything. You're embarrassing your daughter. That place is for foreigners, why are you confused?"
"My daughter wasn't like this back then, so why can't I take a look when I pass by? The more you don't let people in, the more confused you'll be. It would be great if we could let everyone in."
Bi Yue listened to her parents arguing, turned the car around, and changed direction, preparing to pick up her husband and her child to go together.
She must have lived in the future, so she really didn't pay much attention to this store. At that time, the Friendship Store was in decline, and it looked like a yellow stall. Who would go there?
But if you haven't been to the 1980s, you really don't understand that place well enough. At this moment, it exudes the most prestigious and unattainable temperament.
To be honest, if Liu Yafang hadn't mentioned it, Bi Yue really didn't want to send money to that place.
Because the Friendship Store is not friendly at all, and there are indeed two people standing at the door.
She could drive anywhere, as cars were rare in those days. She had never been looked down upon, and this was the respect the Chu family had given her in the past.
But she was completely upset after hearing her mother's few words. It was mainly because it triggered her anger.
It's said that the gatekeepers at the Friendship Store all have to have a degree. That's really looking down on people.
After the reform and opening up, it was also very lively. Outside, people would scramble for scarce goods, needing tickets, but there they could find everything. No need to queue.
Refrigerators, color TVs, porcelain antiques, and some goods imported from abroad that cannot be seen outside, such as Swiss watches.
But there is one thing: identity restriction.
Apart from foreigners, there are also government officials, children of wealthy families and other people of high status, and staff serving foreigners. They can do whatever they want. Otherwise, ordinary people will be asked for their passports when they go in and need coupons to pay for entry.
Yes, there will always be a privileged class. Isn't that why she's risking her life to land the plane? She admitted.
But...you have no shame at all. You don't let Chinese people enter on Chinese territory, but allow foreigners to enter.
There's also a slogan: Chinese people should always be mindful of international influence. You say we've never been abroad? What international influence should we be mindful of? It's just a shabby shop.
What's wrong with this? Chinese people are always nice to outsiders. Anyway, it's really infuriating to think about this.
Bi Yue held her daughter in her arms. This time, she also took the ready-made car. She directly complained to Chu Yifeng, "Go in and take a look. Don't force me to do anything. If it doesn't work, I'll open a store and ruin it."
Chu Yifeng was a little numb. He was gradually digesting his wife's youthful arrogance and her aura of a wealthy family.
Four adults and two children.
When we arrived at the Friendship Store, the gatekeeper didn't stop us at all.
One reason was the car, and the other was not because of the four adults, because their attention was all attracted by the two fat babies.
Bi Yue’s black fur coat has been altered.
Her husband thought it was ugly, so he cut it up and made it into coats for the two babies. The remaining scraps became insoles for her son Chu Yifeng.
Bi Yue was wearing a custom-made camel-colored cape coat she had designed herself. The coat even had a hood, tight black pants, flat black leather boots, and a black turtleneck sweater. Chu Yifeng was satisfied with this outfit.
As for Chu Yifeng, he wore a camel-colored down jacket and a black turtleneck sweater, matching his wife's outfit.
Bi Tiegang and Liu Yafang now wear the best clothes every day. They wear better clothes than the rich young people. There's nothing bad left. My daughter threw them away.
They appeared in such a tough manner as if they were rich, and as a result, the two guards at the door, the salespersons in the mall, and the foreigners all looked at the two treasures.
An identical fur coat with a small hood, one for each of the two little men.
Their father didn't let them take off their hats, fearing a cold. One wore red shoes, the other brown, both with mink fur. They were barely old enough to walk, but they looked around and would laugh and point at foreigners.
No matter who sees the appearance of the two children, they will praise them: "They are so good-looking." The main reason is that they are too rich.
Bi Yue helplessly watched her husband buy Marlboro cigarettes, her father choose canned food for the children, and her mother buy toothpaste.
Yes, it's toothpaste. I didn't know this brand was that old! The red packaging is simple and elegant, with just a few words on it: MAXAM TOOTHPASTE.
After a round of shopping, Bi Yue felt that she had bought a bunch of junk.
Coincidentally, as the car turned a corner, I saw a group of people gathered in a circle from a distance. It looked like a fight, and it looked quite lively.
Bi Yue held her son and leaned against the car window, still teaching: "Son, look at the old man fighting? Oh, no, it's the little man."
Chu Ci pushed the young man with a permed hair. He was not afraid of the seven people on the other side.
What's wrong with being older than him? He's not allowed to snatch the game coins from Bi Sheng. His brothers' military training is a good opportunity to test their skills.
The duck-voiced man scolded, "Are you trying to show off with me? Or are you trying to start a fight? You're so shameless! Lian Lian? Do you know who he is? You want to rob him? You'll beat him so hard that even your grandmother won't recognize him!"
Bi Yue... "Huh?" She turned around and handed the little dragon to her father, then waved to Chu Yifeng to stop the car.
The woman lifted the car window and shouted, "What are you doing? Who is bullying you? Beat them up!"
Chu Yifeng...
In the KFC restaurant, Bi Yue didn't even bother to laugh at the KFC of this era.
It opened last year, the first one. Guess what the slogan is: "American Kentucky Fried Chicken." Isn't that strange?
She was asking, "Where is this new arcade? What's in it?"
Chu Yifeng was queuing up to order food.
Liu Yafang shouted at her son-in-law's back, "Yifeng, don't forget to ask for a few pairs of chopsticks. One chicken is enough. We can't eat more. Forget about the bread." Then she and Bi Tiegang wondered, "Look at the tables next to us. Why don't they ask for chopsticks?"
Bi Yue couldn't continue chatting, and Chu Ci and Bi Sheng were also stunned. They had been here before and had eaten already. They were just looking at the tall man in the queue.
Chu Yifeng said frankly: "Comrade, don't you have chopsticks?"
Later that evening, the whole family, who had some free time, went to the legendary Maxim's restaurant because it was featured on the 7 o'clock news.
Bi Yue did not keep her promise. She only spent one day with her family and then started to be busy, very busy.
