Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

At this time, the whole alley was bustling with activity.

The breakfast stall was steaming, and the shouts of tofu pudding sellers, the ringing of bicycle bells, and the laughter of children mixed together, making the air full of vitality.

He first went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

In 1958, supply and marketing cooperatives were still the main shopping places in New Taipei City.

A slogan with white letters on a red background, "Develop the economy, ensure supply," was hung at the door, and the place was crowded with people.

On the shelves are daily necessities such as cloth, enamel pots, soap, matches, etc.

However, most of them are labeled "supplied by ticket".

Liu Guangqi first came to the food counter and pointed at the fruit candies in the glass cabinet and said, "Comrade, give me two kilograms of fruit candies."

The saleswoman was a girl in her twenties.

Hearing this, he quickly weighed two kilograms on the scale and wrapped them into two triangular paper bags: "Two kilograms of fruit candy, 1 yuan for you, and two kilograms of candy tickets."

Liu Guangqi handed over the money and ticket, and bought two pounds of peach cakes and one pound of glutinous rice cakes.

These are for my parents and two younger brothers to satisfy their cravings.

Then he went to the cloth counter, looked at the "work cloth" and "khaki cloth" on the shelves, thought for a while, and bought eight feet of dark blue work cloth and four feet of flowered cloth.

"Eight feet of work cloth, four feet of flowered cloth, a total of 7 yuan, and twelve feet of cloth coupons."

The salesperson said as he wrote out the ticket, "You have good taste. This work cloth is strong and durable."

Liu Guangqi thanked him with a smile.

He bought a bar of soap and two boxes of matches, and then squeezed out of the supply and marketing cooperative carrying his bags.

He did not rush home, but walked towards the trust store -

The Trust Store in Xisi was very famous at the time. It specialized in buying and selling second-hand goods. No tickets were required, and the prices were cheaper than those in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

The trust store doesn't have a big storefront.

There is a sign hanging at the door that says "State-owned Xisi Trust Store".

The light inside was a little dim, and the shelves were filled with old clothes, old furniture, clocks, cameras and other items. A faint musty smell wafted over.

As soon as Liu Guangqi entered the door.

I saw a middle-aged man in a Mao suit bargaining with the salesperson:

"This 'Shanghai' watch has all the paint peeling off, and it's still selling for eighty yuan? I'd buy it for fifty!"

"Comrade, this watch was made in 1956. It keeps very accurate. Eighty yuan is not expensive."

The salesman was an old man wearing glasses. He said slowly, "If you really want it, seventy-five dollars, no less."

Liu Guangqi leaned over to take a look.

The watch was indeed a bit old, but the dial was clean and the hands were still flexible.

His heart moved——

He was about to start work and needed a watch, but he didn't speak in a hurry and continued walking inside.

Chapter 8 Buy a watch! The job introduction letter arrived!

The Trust Store is huge.

Liu Guangqi walked around carefully and finally came to a shelf where there were many old pens, mostly Hero and Venus brands.

Then he picked up a Hero 100 fountain pen, which had a black body and a shiny nib:

"Comrade, how much is this pen?"

"This one is 70% new. I'll charge you eight dollars," said the old man.

"Eight dollars?"

Liu Guangqi smiled and said, "Look, the cap of this pen is a little deformed. How about five yuan? I really want it."

The old man looked at the pen cap carefully and sighed.

"Row!"

"Five dollars is five dollars. I'll sell it to you at a loss."

Liu Guangqi tried the pen and found it felt smooth, so he paid for it readily.

At this time, the middle-aged man who had been bargaining just now finally bought the Shanghai brand watch for 70 yuan and left happily.

Liu Guangqi walked over and pointed at another Plum brand watch and asked:

"Comrade, how much is this watch?"

Seeing that he had bought a lot of things, the old man became more enthusiastic:

"This is a Plum Blossom watch imported from Switzerland. Although it's old, it keeps more accurate than the Shanghai brand. I'll charge you 120 yuan."

Liu Guangqi looked at it carefully.

The plum blossom logo on the dial is clear and well-maintained. "One hundred and twenty is a bit expensive. How about one hundred? Look at this watch strap, it's loose."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Row!"

"You seem like an honest man, so a hundred dollars is a hundred dollars. But you don't mind that the watch doesn't have a box?"

"do not mind."

Liu Guangqi paid the money readily, put the watch on his wrist, and felt very satisfied.

In this day and age, a watch is a symbol of status.

Not to mention it’s an imported watch!

There is no doubt that Liu Guangqi, who is about to start working, really needs such a decent item.

……

……

Coming out of the Trust Store.

Liu Guangqi went to the vegetable market again and bought five kilograms of potatoes, three kilograms of cabbage, two kilograms of pork, and even bought a live fish.

Today is the weekend, so I'm going to improve the meals at home.

When he was walking back with the bags, he passed by the breakfast stall at the entrance of the alley and bought ten meat buns, intending to take them home for lunch.

Just walked to the gate of the courtyard.

I happened to run into Jia Dongxu running out in a hurry wearing a canvas tool bag.

At this time.

He obviously also saw the large and small bags in Liu Guangqi's hands. He paused and greeted with a smile:

"Guangqi?"

"Are you on vacation from college? Is this something for home?"

"I've already graduated!" Liu Guangqi also asked with a smile: "Are you going to the factory?"

"you do not say!"

Jia Dongxu patted his tool kit, a look of pride on his face:

"My master said I'm almost good at benchwork, and told me to go back to the factory during the holiday to hone my skills and try to pass the third-level worker exam next month."

"Congratulations in advance!"

Liu Guangqi smiled and didn't point out Jia Dongxu's pretense: "If you pass the exam to become a third-level worker, your salary will increase significantly, right?"

"That's natural!"

Jia Dongxu's eyes sparkled: "I'm going to the factory first. See you later!"

"See you!"

As he spoke, Liu Guangqi walked straight into the courtyard.

The yard suddenly exploded.

Jia Zhang was the first to rush over, staring at the meat buns and live fish in his hands with her eyes wide open:

“Yo, college students are just different!”

"I just got home and I bought so many goodies. If you don't know, you might think I got my salary."

Liu Guangqi smiled and didn't respond.

Carrying the things and walking towards her house, Jia Zhangshi was a talkative person. The more she paid attention to her, the more excited she became.

He even got so excited that he sat down on the ground and started to summon the undead with his mouth.

Deal with this kind of person.

Ignore her and just ignore her, it works better than anything else!

really.

Seeing that Liu Guangqi ignored her, Jia Zhang felt embarrassed.

His face twitched a few times and all his fighting power was gone.
