Chapter 34 New Year's Money

Little one, if you don't follow martial ethics, don't blame you, Sister Qian, and I. I'm so ruthless, I don't believe you and I can't cure you.

"Of course it's no problem! I didn't expect him to have such a hobby, so I will satisfy him!" Li Yunshan readily agreed, and then whispered, "Then... you go slower on the road."

Zhang Qian smiled and rode home.

...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was just dawn.

Liang Jinxiu was sleeping soundly in the warm quilt, but she heard someone calling her outside the window. As she stood up in a daze, a burst of cold air hit her face, making her shiver.

The fire in the stove went out last night, and now it's colder inside the house than outside. Only the quilt can provide the slightest warmth.

"What are you doing? You're not letting anyone sleep anymore."

"Sister Jinxiu, didn't you say you wanted to take me to celebrate the New Year yesterday? I've memorized the words by heart, and I'm just waiting for you to lead the way!" Kugen shouted.

Liang Jinxiu suddenly woke up and bounced on the spot: "Yes! Now that New Year's Eve has passed, what, Zhang Qian, we should settle the accounts now!"

Liang Jinxiu got up from the bed with strong perseverance and put on her clothes despite the biting cold air. Kugen followed furtively behind her.

The first goal is to deal with Zhang Qian, her nemesis who made her lose face last night, and everyone else has to step aside.

I saw her take out an iron piece from her pocket and open the latch in front of the main door, only to find that the door was unlocked. Even better, it was just what I wanted.

As soon as she gave the order, Kugen immediately got in like a loach, tapped the bowl with his chopsticks, and knelt on the ground to sing.

"Beautiful Sister Qian, beautiful Sister Qian, the Chinese New Year is here! Give me some New Year blessings and let's live together!"

"One yuan is less, two yuan is less, three or four yuan is just right. If you don't give it, I don't want it, and you won't be able to hold the baby!"

Liang Jinxiu leaned against the window, smiling like a mouse falling into a rice vat, feeling secretly proud in her heart, I am really a genius!

"Hey, let me tell you, Liang Jinxiu, why are you laughing so early in the morning?" A voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"Go away, sisters, I'm here to mess with you!"

"Who are you pranking so early in the morning?"

"Who else could it be? Zhang Qian...uh??"

Liang Jinxiu laughed for a long time, and suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar. When she looked back, she saw Zhang Qian standing in front of her at leisure, with heat rising from her forehead, as if she had just come back from morning exercise.

"Why are you here?" Liang Jinxiu's eyes widened.

Zhang Qian said calmly: "I want to ask you, why are you standing in front of my house so early in the morning? Yes, you are planning to help me clean the door of my house?"

Liang Jinxiu felt really depressed. She hadn't looked at the almanac when she went out these past two days, so she had been having bad luck one after another.

At this time, Kugen in the room also realized that there was no one in the room, so he rushed out, looked at Zhang Qian, and then at Liang Jinxiu. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Liang Jinxiu winked quickly, Kugen immediately understood, kowtowed twice, and was about to sing the lyrics while tapping the bowl and chopsticks, when Zhang Qian interrupted lightly: "No need to sing, since you are willing to call me Sister Qian, I will take it for granted."

Sister, it’s the first day of the new year and I can’t be without some expression.”

Is Zhang Qian so smart?

Liang Jinxiu's eyebrows were filled with joy and a look of pride appeared on her face. She said to herself, "Zhang Qian, even if you act like a ghost, you still have to drink my foot-washing water. I hope you don't lose three or four yuan today."

"But our courtyard is all about new people, new things, and new looks. I also have to ask for the children's advice. Do you want New Year's money or White Rabbit toffee?" Zhang Qian asked carefully, while taking the child's advice from her arms.

Take out a handful of White Rabbit toffees.

When Kugen saw the toffee, he couldn't walk immediately. He swallowed hard and stared at the toffee in Zhang Qian's hand, unable to take his eyes away.

"Want toffee!"

"Okay! Then milk candy!"

Liang Jinxiu exhorted from the side: "Silly boy! Of course money is important. If you have money, you can buy candies and firecrackers..."

Zhang Qian glanced at her: "You either shut up, or you kneel down and kowtow to me. Call me Sister Qian, and it counts as your vote."

Liang Jinxiu shut her mouth knowingly, feeling aggrieved in her heart. She felt that Zhang Qian had become smarter, as if she had seen through her own thoughts.

After saying that, Zhang Qian stuffed a handful of toffee into Kugen's pocket.

"Okay, you sister Qian is going out now, don't send her away!"

Liang Jinxiu was unwilling to fail and continued: "Okay, let's go, let's go to Teacher Liao's house!"

Five minutes later, Teacher Liao let out a sad cry.

....

Zhang Qian went out on her bicycle and went to a special store.

In this era, the special supply store was modeled after the Soviet-style small birch tree store. It was not open to ordinary people and was only available to cadres. It provided rare goods that were difficult to buy outside, such as Maotai liquor, Huazi, perfume, and whiskey.

Caviar and foie gras are commonplace and very cheap.

Zhang Qian has heard people say that the plump yellow croaker there only costs 0.46 yuan per pound. The big black watermelon costs eight cents per pound! Each one is as big as a basketball and is sweet and delicious.

It's a pity that even if you are at the level of Director Wang, you may not be able to get in.

As famous as the special store is the Friendship Store in Donghua Gate. It just opened last year, but it is famous far and wide. The slogan of the Friendship Store is: "We want the best products on the market. We want the best products on the market."

, we must have it. We must also have whatever is fashionable in foreign countries!”

The signs made in this era are waterless.

In comparison, the department store in Wangfujing can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but even so, it is also a high-end place that countless ordinary people cannot afford.

Zhang Qian walked around, bought some daily necessities, and then rode her bicycle slowly back to the courtyard, stopping at a car repair shop on the corner of the street.

"Boss, how much do you charge for an 80% new Feige bicycle?"

The owner of the car shop carefully inspected it and found that the car was very well maintained. He calmly made a seven sign: "70 yuan!"

Zhang Qian shook her head: "You are too shameless! I bought this car for more than 200 yuan last year, your price is a bit deceptive!"

The owner of the car shop apologized and smiled: "I am also a small business, and the market situation is like this. Besides, I also bear the risk of speculation, right?"

"It's still too low. I'll go check out other stores."

"Ahem, let me give you the highest price, 72 yuan! It's really a reasonable price. If you don't believe me, you can go to other alleys and there won't be a higher price than mine. It's just for Feige's sake!"

"75 yuan! Otherwise, I'll go around again."

"Ah...this..." The owner of the car repair shop looked confused and hesitant.

"I have something else to do today. I hope you have the money ready when I come next time."

Zhang Qian didn't do any ink, so she got on the car and drove out of the alley.

In fact, she was already attracted by the 70 yuan offered by the boss at the beginning, but she still wanted to wait. Starting from last year, a new policy was implemented. Bicycles must be purchased with a ticket, which is something even if you have money, you can't buy it.

Rare objects.
