Chapter 3 Second-hand Disposal
Lan Shu knew that the original owner had a bad reputation in the staff dormitory during this period, but now seeing Sister-in-law He's reaction, she felt that she had underestimated how much the neighbors were tired of the original owner.
But according to the memory of the original owner, among the people she knows well in the entire staff dormitory, the only one she might be able to talk to is Mrs. He who didn't lend her money because she was stingy.
"Sister-in-law He, I'm not here to borrow money this time. I have some clothes I bought in the county mall that I want to get rid of at a low price, so I came to ask if you want them?"
When the original owner came to the county town from the countryside, he had no intention of going back in a short time, so he brought a lot of clothes from home for all seasons.
Most of her clothes are from the mall. Although it is only a mall in a small county town, not everyone is willing to buy it.
The clothes that were not cheap at first are now sold at low prices, so naturally some people are interested in them.
Not to mention Mrs. He who is so stingy that she is reluctant to buy clothes for herself all year round.
Buying high-priced goods at low prices, the money saved in the process is a profit for Mrs. He!
So Sister-in-law He was stunned for a brief moment, and then asked, "How much is it?"
"Shirts and pants cost two yuan, dresses cost three yuan, sweaters cost four yuan, and coats cost six to ten yuan depending on their thickness."
Lan Shu quoted the price she had already thought of and sold the clothes, which originally cost at least seven or eight yuan, at a bargain price.
Although these clothes are from the mall, she really doesn't like them.
In addition, the clothes were too big for her to wear as she planned to lose weight, so she simply sold them to get some money.
Money is the most useful thing to her now.
"Is it really that cheap?" When Mrs. He heard the price, she subconsciously asked what was in her heart.
She knew that Xu Gong's wife had a lot of clothes.
When this fat girl moved into the staff dormitory, her eldest brother drove a tractor to deliver her luggage.
The clothes she usually wears are of good quality and new styles. Although the clothes are a bit baggy, it doesn't cost much to have them altered by a tailor.
And the sweater only costs four yuan!
For others, one kilogram of wool is enough to knit a sweater, but with Xu Gong's wife's figure, a sweater requires at least three kilograms of wool!
If she buys it and takes it apart and knits it again, in addition to one piece for herself, she will have enough yarn left to knit one piece for the children at home.
That’s four yuan for two sweaters! This is a huge bargain!
"Buy! I want to buy it!" Mrs. He agreed.
Hearing this answer, Lan Shu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law He, wait a minute. I'll go get a bag of clothes for you to pick first. I'll leave whatever you like for you."
Sister-in-law He originally only planned to buy two or three pieces of clothing to change, but when she heard that Xu Gong's wife planned to sell the clothes to others, she had to buy a few more pieces while the styles were available!
Otherwise, this opportunity for bargain hunting will disappear in the future.
So after Lan Shu took a dozen pieces of clothing suitable for Sister He's age from the next room, Sister He picked through them, not wanting to miss any of them.
In the end, after struggling for a long time, she kept six items.
I can wear shirts, trousers, and skirts in any form, and I have two sweaters left, as well as a coat.
Mrs. He, who originally only wanted to spend a few yuan to get a small bargain, spent more than 20 yuan in one go, which was equivalent to half a month's salary of her man.
But she felt that the money was well spent!
After getting the money, Lan Shu also had a smile on her face.
The original owner owes the neighbors money, isn’t that enough?
But now is not the time to pay back the money immediately, her ‘aunt’ can’t wait any longer!
Saying goodbye to Mrs. He, Lan Shu hurriedly walked towards the street outside the machinery factory according to the memory of the original owner...
…
Linfu Street is located in the northwest of Qingyang County. There are several factories nearby. In addition to machinery factories, there are also steel mills and paper mills.
Although the machinery factory and the paper mill are not big, there is a large steel mill, and the thousands of employees of the three factories make Lam Fook Street bustling.
In the evening, the sky is filled with red clouds.
While it was still dark, Lan Shu hurried out of the machine factory gate according to the memory of the original owner.
Turn left from the gate for more than 100 meters and you will reach Lam Fu Street.
There is a steamed bun shop at Qiaotou on the street, and you can smell the aroma of meat buns from a long way away.
The original owner often bought food from this shop.
People doing business these days are very down-to-earth, and buns the size of an adult's fist only cost 20 cents each.
According to Lan Shu's own appetite, at most two buns would fill her stomach.
But in the past, the original owner only had four big meat buns, two tea eggs, and a bowl of millet porridge!
With such an astonishing amount of food, the stomach has already been stretched, and the body will naturally gain weight.
Therefore, the weight of the original owner is moving towards more than 160cm compared to his height.
Now that Lan Shu has received this body, she must lose weight, so she only bought two steamed buns, planning to control her food intake first and let her bloated stomach recover on its own.
Although dieting can help you lose weight faster, it is too harmful to your body.
Lan Shu didn't want to lose weight and risk stomach problems.
I spent 40 cents and got two buns wrapped in straw paper.
Take a bite of Lan Shu, the skin is thin and the meat is thick, leaving a fragrant aroma in your mouth!
Such cheap and delicious big buns made Lan Shu suddenly like this era.
At this time, the way she squinted her eyes and ate steamed buns with happiness on her face fell right into the eyes of Mrs. Lin at the bridge.
Old Mrs. Lin stood outside the gate of her yard. A few minutes ago she had just received a call from Kyoto to visit her grandson in the county town.
The last time I saw my little grandson, he was only ten years old. Five or six years have passed in a blink of an eye. Although my handsome little grandson has grown a lot, his thin body really makes the old lady feel a little confused.
Feeling distressed!
"Is this how your parents take care of you? Look what happened to my big, fat grandson who was loved by everyone! He has long arms and legs, and a waist as thin as a stick!"
Gu Jue never expected that his figure, which made him look thin when dressed and muscular when undressed, which made many teenagers envious, seemed to his grandma as if he had been abused at home.
Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly saw his grandma pointing to a girl who was almost fat as a ball next to the Qiaotou bun shop not far away and said, "Look at how good this girl's appetite is. She is fat and white. Xiaobao, you want it too."
Learn from others and make yourself strong..."
"Grandma, your aesthetics are a bit too much. You have to be fat and fat in moderation. If your grandson really wants to get fat like that eldest sister, I will hide and not go out!"
Gu Jue said half-jokingly, looking at the old man's eyes speechlessly and helplessly.
The old man and the young man did not deliberately lower their voices when speaking, so the conversation was listened to by Lan Shu, who was not far away and had a sharp ear!
Lan Shu:?
She knew that her body shape was more conspicuous in the 1980s when most people didn't have enough to eat, but she didn't expect that even if she ate a bun, she would be ordered by passers-by!
And...eldest sister?
Her current physical age is only 19 years old, she is clearly in her youthful girlhood!
Lan Shu looked in the direction of the sound. She wanted to see who the person with the clear and pleasant voice was but the really bad eyes!
The next second, she raised her eyes and saw under the afterglow of the setting sun, a young man with fair skin and delicate facial features, who was as perfect as a bright moonlight...
