80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 67 Pretending to be innocent

indoor.

Li Yingtang went to change into her pajamas. As the clothes rack and bookshelf were next to each other, she bumped into the books when she turned around and knocked over a few of them.

When I squatted down to pick it up, the letter in the medical book fell down.

There are two.

Sender: Bao Susu.

The time was October 1980, which was five years ago according to the Gregorian calendar.

A man’s mouth is a liar!
He said he was not familiar with the other person, but in the end he was exchanging letters.

"You usually pretend to be a pure boy in front of me, but you already knew how to flirt with others at the age of 18. If you dare to cheat on your aunt in advance, your life or death will be in danger." Li Yingtang was annoyed while unfolding the letter to read.

Hello, Qin Xian, my name is Bao Susu, and I’m the arts and literature committee member of our class. I wonder if you have noticed me.

I've been reading "Sparks" recently, and my thinking has improved a lot.

What book are you reading? We can discuss it sometime.

Second letter:
Hello, Qin Xian, why didn't you reply my letter? Didn't you receive it?

I recently applied to become a party activist. What are your plans?
Li Yingtang laughed out loud.

People of this generation are really interesting.

When writing a letter, I always speak in a serious manner.

"What are you looking at, laughing like that?"

The young man's clear voice reached his ears.

Li Yingtang was a little flustered: "I didn't mean to read your letter. The book was flipping and the letter fell in front of me. Here, I return it to you. You are in the same class, why don't you talk to each other in person?" Isn't it a waste of time to go through the trouble of writing a letter?

Qin Xian lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the envelope, with a smile on her lips. How many people in the world can express themselves as directly as she does? "There is no stamp or seal on the envelope, which means it was secretly stuffed into my book. The glutinous rice glue has expired, proving that I have never opened it."

During college, he received letters almost every day.

It is usually delivered to him by the message room.

He was busy studying and taking care of his sick aunt.

I have no time to communicate with my classmates, and I am unwilling to devote my energy to interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, even if he read the letter, he never replied.

Moreover, he is used to being alone and doesn't know how to get along with others.

Li Yingtang checked and found that it was true. Since it was a misunderstanding, she had no reason to care about it. She said generously: "You don't need to explain, I always believe in you."

Qin Xian didn't quite believe it. If he really believed it, why would he peek? But arguing with his wife, even if he won, it would be meaningless. He ignored the matter and said, "Are you going into the city tomorrow?"

"What?" Li Yingtang planned to go to the flea market.

Today I settled the bill for the workers. Taking into account the wall tiles, floor tiles, tiles, etc. purchased previously, half of the 2,000 yuan reserved for decoration reserve has been spent.

The remaining money will be enough to buy a bed, do the carpentry work, and purchase curtains, sofas, dining table, chairs and other furnishings.

This left her with no money to buy electrical appliances.

If you live in the city, a refrigerator is a must.

It is also the most expensive.

The prices of electrical appliances in this era are really outrageous.

The average wage is 50 or 60 yuan? A refrigerator costs 600 or 700 yuan, and you need a coupon to buy it.

She had more than 4,000 yuan in her hand, plus Qin Xian's, a total of more than 5,000 yuan, which she needed to open the store and could not touch.

Qin Xian: "Submit your paper. I'll revise it today and give it to you tomorrow morning."

"Don't you want to rest? I can wait until you are done with it."

"Tomorrow will have tomorrow's business."

The next morning, Li Yingtang returned to the city with Qin Xian's three papers.

She asked someone to translate the paper she submitted overseas. He said this morning that he had revised it once after it was rejected last time, and he read it roughly last night and felt that there was no problem, so there was no need to trouble Professor Tong.

The other two articles have been corrected according to Professor Tong’s instructions.

She just had to avoid the journals that rejected his manuscripts.

Back to town.

He submitted the articles separately according to his own wishes.

Then, I went to a picture framing shop to have my paintings framed. I had five paintings in total and spent two dollars on them.

I made an appointment with the owner to pick up the painting in the afternoon, and then went to the flea market to shop.

After shopping at the last store, she finally found a treasure she liked.

White jade cicada.

Bigger than real cicadas.

Mixed in a pile of jade artifacts, it is inconspicuous.

But she could see that the carving was so delicate that it was the work of a master.

She was excited.

Buy it, a refrigerator, a big color TV, what else do you have to worry about?

He decisively reached out and picked it up: "Boss, how much is this?"

"sixty."

"Cheaper."

"If you really want to buy it, fifty-five."

Li Yingtang bargained with him: "Twenty"

“I can’t sell it for twenty.”

"Forget it, I'll look at something else." Li Yingtang put down the jade cicada and picked out other treasures, but her eyes were quietly observing the boss, who was looking at her the whole time.

This means he was also paying attention to her expression.

If she showed any sign of reluctance, well, he would definitely raise the price.

Therefore, she showed a lack of interest: "I don't think I like it." Then, she turned around and wanted to leave without any reluctance. As she expected, the boss stopped her: "Twenty is twenty." The shop had not been open for the whole morning, and it was rare to meet a customer.

Earning less is better than earning nothing.

"Okay." After paying the money, Li Yingtang happily took the jade cicada to the dark alley.

Boss Gu bid: "One hundred."

"Are you kidding?" Li Yingtang was shocked. "The carving work is more than a hundred, right?"

"It's true that this thing is good, but the bad thing is that it has no eyes, which means it's not worn on the body, but is pressed under the tongue after the person dies. Not to mention before, even last year, this thing was valuable. Now that Yanjing has enforced cremation, people can't hold it in their mouths. Everyone who comes to me is like a shrewd ghost. They know a little about the goods, so it's difficult for me to sell it." Boss Gu said.

“Does it need to be so big if you want to hold it in your mouth? Does it need to be carved so delicately? Can't it be a decoration on a hat? Decorations on hats don't have holes in them.” Li Yingtang recalled that there was also a jade cicada without holes in its collection.

The old man said that it was used by ancient people to decorate their hats.

Boss Gu insisted on mentioning the dead. Was it to deliberately lower the price?
When Boss Gu heard this, he took the cicada and looked through the information for comparison.

Li Yingtang waited patiently.

After a while, he came over and said with a smile: "You are more knowledgeable. How much do you plan to pay?"

"One thousand yuan, I won't sell it for a penny less." Li Yingtang said, taking out a hairpin she had kept for herself earlier: "Please give me an estimate of the price of this hairpin."

Boss Gu said, "If it was a cicada on a celebrity's hat, I would take it if you offered me two thousand. It's not worth it because it has no name or surname. I'll give you seven hundred at most. The hairpin is three hundred and fifty."

Li Yingtang considered it and accepted it, but she had another request: "Okay, at your price, but I have a condition, give me a refrigerator ticket."

Boss Gu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I really have it. A friend gave it to me. I have a refrigerator and a TV at home, so I have been keeping the ticket. I'll get it for you."

"Thank you." Li Yingtang took the money and got the ticket.

While happily shopping in an electrical appliance store, she was attracted by the content of an old lady scolding another middle-aged woman next to her.

"That Li Tang, who is about 1.8 meters tall and handsome, was introduced to you in the early years. But you complained that he had poor academic performance and was only a soldier when he was in school. You refused to accept him, saying that Hu Chengwei was a college student with a promising future and would become a cadre in the future.

More than ten years have passed, and Hu Chengwei is still a small clerk.

Look at Li Tang.

With only a high school diploma, he became the director of a glass factory. He has a refrigerator, a color TV, and a washing machine at home, a twin-cylinder one.

Ask an aunt to come and do the housework.

The daughter-in-law doesn't have to take care of the child after giving birth. She just draws eyebrows and paints her eyes every day and walks around. She is in her thirties, but she looks like a girl in her early twenties.

You said you were going to marry him, so are you also living like this?
Do we still need to come here to pick out a refrigerator today? We already have one at home."

The middle-aged woman retorted: "It's given by men. If they want to take it back, they can take it back. How can it be assured if you buy it yourself?"

"Just be tough."
