Chapter 093 Thoughts from a Straight Man
Lin Wanxia was a little excited.
How could the paper people in the novel be as interesting as the real people in reality?
Lin Wanxia was ready to eat melons.
However, nothing happened until the translation was finished.
Lin Wanxia: "..."
That's not the case.
But, it's not like that in the novel either.
In the novel, the male protagonist hasn't appeared yet.
Could it be because she triggered the plot before the first chapter?
Lin Wanxia was puzzled, and then she had no time to think about it. The foreigner and the male protagonist each gave them a thank-you gift.
The foreigner gave them a watch each.
What about the laborers!
Although the current laborers are only in three digits, the daily salary of ordinary people is only in the single digits, at most two digits.
So Lin Wanxia and Chen Manshu refused again with backbone.
The male protagonist, He Yucheng, expressed his gratitude to them for helping his friends and gave them each a Walkman and several popular cassettes.
Today's Walkman is not just as simple as a recorder, and the size is not so convenient to carry, but it is definitely a rare thing.
Lin Wanxia touched the recorder that was as valuable as a laborer, called Chen Manshu aside, and asked her in a low voice: "Do you want this?"
Chen Manshu shook her head, "No. How can someone who is used to playing with a mobile phone look down on this?"
"Then, can we fish without the fish?"
"Huh?" Chen Manshu was confused by Lin Wanxia's two "yu".
"What I mean is, in this era, if you have goods, you can
sell them easily, right?" As the heroine, Chen Manshu's IQ must be online, and her eyes lit up immediately and said, "You mean to ask him to get some goods to sell? But how do you know he has a source of goods?"
Lin Wanxia thought to herself, of course I know, not only do I know that he has a source of goods, I also know that he is the young master of a certain family in Hong Kong, and he will soon take over the family's department store business and go to Huacheng to compete with competitors. You and him met there.
But it was not a beautiful encounter.
Of course, Lin Wanxia could not tell Chen Manshu all this, and only said, "He is from Hong Kong, even if he doesn't have a source of goods, he must know where there is a source of goods. If it really doesn't work, we can ask foreigners. It's just that transportation is a little troublesome and the cost may be a little higher."
The foreigners will definitely help them.
It is a good thing in China and is already common abroad.
Chen Manshu agreed.
So the two of them spoke up and politely declined the gift of the Walkman, but took the initiative to ask for some of the goods.
They are not greedy, and they don't need a lot, ten units are enough. Because the money left on them is enough to buy these.
Lin Wanxia used most of her money to buy a boat with Chen Bin.
Most of the money lent to Chen Manshu was the membership fee just collected, and a small part was her living expenses for the next six months.
Fortunately, before leaving, Jiang Sinian stuffed another 500 yuan into her, saying that a poor family can make a rich journey.
Lin Wanxia knew that the 500 yuan was borrowed and didn't want to touch it.
It can only be said that plans are better than changes.
Now is the stage where planned economy and market economy coexist, and doing business is basically for making money.
Planned economy refers to the era of tickets, and everyone buys things with tickets, and money alone is not enough.
Of course, shopping with tickets is much cheaper.
But many people do not have enough tickets but have enough money, which leads to difficulties in buying what they want even if they have money.
Because in the inland, if you want to buy things at market price, you need a slip even if you don’t need a ticket.
It’s not easy.
He Yucheng was surprised by their choice, and he readily agreed, and praised them: "You two are very smart and courageous. If you need a job, you can come to me."
Then he handed them a business card.
Lin Wanxia accepted it without hesitation, but turned around and stuffed it into Chen Manshu's pocket.
Just kidding, how could she dare to touch the male lead.
Hong Kong is not far from Eagle City. The next day, before dawn, the goods that He Yucheng brought to them arrived at the dock.
In addition to ten Walkmans, there was also a large box of tapes.
The deliveryman said that they were sent by Mr. He.
But Lin Wanxia insisted on giving the money to the deliveryman.
It's not that she is so noble that she does good things for nothing, but she knows that Chen Manshu will be with the male lead in the future, and she can't lower her impression of He Yucheng.
As soon as they received the goods, the three of them went home.
They had to go back, because the money they had was enough for food except for the travel expenses.
***
It took more than a week for the two of them to go back and forth.
After returning to the compound, Jiang Sinian arranged for someone to come to the door to help them get their things.
He directly asked someone to deliver the things to the room where they lived in the family compound before, but took Lin Wanxia and Xingxing to the back.
"Where are we going?" Xingxing asked.
"Moving to a new home." Jiang Sinian said concisely.
The previous room was a bit too crowded for a family of three.
The main reason was that Jiang Sinian wanted to separate from Xingxing.
At least there would be a room "temporarily" when he fell asleep.
Although he had never married, Jiang Sinian also knew that it was not right for the couple to always have a "third person" between them.
Lin Wanxia didn't think much about it, and she also felt that it was a little crowded.
The new room is behind the tube building. To be precise, it is still a tube building, but the space is a little bigger.
The previous occupants must have made some changes to the room, changing it to a two-bedroom, one-living room, and one-kitchen layout.
However, one of the bedrooms has no light, so they had to knock out half a meter from the top and replace it with glass to meet the light requirements.
The room has been tidied up and their belongings have been moved in.
There is a new wooden double bed in the master bedroom. The window is on the north wall. Behind it is a small garden and then the wall of the courtyard.
There are not many flowers and plants in the garden, but there are a few fruit trees.
"How is it?" Jiang Sinian came over and stood behind Lin Wanxia.
Lin Wanxia stood in front of the window, nodded with her back to him, "Not bad."
The two were close to each other, and Jiang Sinian was a little distracted when he smelled the soap scent on Lin Wanxia's body.
It has always been others who waited for him, but this is the first time he has waited for someone, and it is also the first time that he feels that a week can be so long.
It is so long that he wishes he could grow wings and fly to Eagle City.
Now that Lin Wanxia has returned to him, she is tongue-tied and doesn't know what to say.
After holding it in for a long time, he asked, "Did this trip go smoothly?"
Lin Wanxia nodded, "It went quite smoothly. "
I took the initiative to tell him what I saw and heard in Eagle City.
Jiang Sinian nodded but didn't know what to say. He lowered his eyes and saw Lin Wanxia
's willow-like waist. He raised his hand and put it down, put it down and raised it again, repeatedly, getting closer and closer. Finally, his hand, which would not shake even if he held a hand grenade, trembled slightly and put it on Lin Wanxia's waist.
Lin Wanxia froze and opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
They had already obtained a marriage certificate and held two wedding banquets. It would be hypocritical to say that it didn't matter.
After all, they were legally married, and they had to take this step.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanxia relaxed, leaned back, and leaned on the strong chest.
