Chapter Twenty-six Returning with joy

And Lu Ye, who had already walked out, also knew the common tricks of these people.

Hearing the salesperson's voice, Lu Hao was happiest. He immediately stopped and looked at Lu Ye.

Song Shufen felt sorry for money. She originally came out to take a look today. She never expected that Lu Ye would be so straightforward and spend so much money without hesitation.

Now I want to buy that Walkman again, and now I will spend all my money.

Pulling Lu Ye's arm, Song Shufen said: "Boss, why don't you buy it? What's the use of such an expensive thing?"

Lu Ye gently placed his left hand on the back of his mother's hand, patted it twice, and said: "Buy it, I have promised my second son a long time ago, let him listen to English tapes when he is free, and study hard, our family expects him to be able to

Establishing a good university will bring glory to our ancestors."

Lu Hao hurriedly expressed his determination at the side: "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely be admitted to a prestigious university if I use this Walkman to learn English!"

When it came to the college entrance examination, Song Shufen immediately let go of Lu Ye's hand. She had never gone to school and could not help much with her studies.

This can be regarded as the pain in the hearts of Song Shufen and Lu Aiguo. The eldest child is just a fool, and does not like to study. Fortunately, the second child has made progress.

Now that both sons have said this, the simple Song Shufen no longer stops her. As long as the second son can go to college, she can just sell the house. How can she care about the thousand yuan.

He said: "Buy it, buy it. If you don't study hard, I will put this machine away for you."

Mom finally agreed, and Lu Hao was so happy that he died.

The mother and son turned around and walked back.

When he came to the counter, Lu Ye said to the salesperson: "Bring us a new machine. We don't want the sample."

"Okay, I'll get you a new one."

The salesperson opened a locked drawer under the shelf and took out a new Avawa Walkman.

The packaging box is very particular. Lu Ye originally thought that a small electrical appliance like this would be packed in a cardboard box, but he didn't expect that this machine is just like the jewelry box of later generations, with a sponge partition inside to prevent it from falling.

Lu Ye paid 950 yuan, and the salesperson specially issued an invoice and filled out a three-pack card.

Lu Hao couldn't wait to open the package. There was actually a pure leather protective case inside the box, which could be hung directly on the belt of his pants, and then he put the Walkman into the leather case.

To be honest, in the 1990s, Japanese products were far ahead of China. This was not only reflected in the level of technology, but also in product design and humanistic convenience considerations.

Lu Ye took a look and saw p303 written on the packaging box, which was the model number of this machine.

Calling the Japanese devils is actually not wrong at all. Their attitude towards exporting goods is very problematic. The model of this machine in Japan is p30, and the p303 exported to China is to distinguish domestic products.

Not to mention the price, even the quality is completely different.

But despite this, at that time, imported Walkmans were much better than domestic ones.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an eternal truth.

Lu Hao tried again and found no problem.

I happily put the Walkman back, all sealed, and hugged it in my arms. I liked it very much.

After leaving the department store, Lu Hao couldn't hide the joy on his face.

I promised that I would buy a Walkman for learning English. Now I have bought a machine, but there are no English tapes.

In this day and age, let alone buying English cassettes, even if you want to buy some pirated music cassettes, they are not available.

The North is not like the Special Administrative Region, where brave people secretly set up some black factories, smuggled genuine tapes from Hong Kong Island, and then started copying them.

At this time, there was no tape factory in the north. If I wanted to buy some English tapes, only Xinhua Bookstore had them, and the prices were generally not low.

Lu Hao led Lu Ye and Song Shufen, and the three of them went to Xinhua Bookstore again.

To say that the cleanest store in Luancheng is none other than Xinhua Bookstore.

The shop assistants here wipe all the bookcases spotlessly every day. The floor is made of cement. Although it is not as smooth as ceramic tiles, it is still wiped very clean.

There were a lot of people inside, but it was very quiet. Many people were standing in front of the bookshelf and reading, or holding a sample book in their hands and hiding in the corner to read.

Culture and entertainment are poor in this era. School students have no place to go during their vacations, so many of them come here to read sample books.

It only lasts a day and doesn't cost a penny.

Lu Hao went to the left and searched.

Song Shufen was waiting at the door. She couldn't understand these things, so she simply didn't go in. There were really many people inside, and they were crowded.

Lu Ye slowly walked around the bookstore. There were very few types of books on the shelves, and most of them were literary works.

There was a book called "Home" that was placed the most on the bookcase. Lu Ye took a look and saw that there were several young people in the store who were also holding the book "Home" and looking at it.

Lu Ye took a look and found the price: 2.6 yuan.

After looking around, I didn't see many novels. Of course, there are still some famous works such as Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Lu Ye casually picked up a copy of Water Margin, flipped through it, and then put it back.

When he came to the counter, Lu Ye asked the salesperson directly: "Are there any tapes for English learning? There are also English exercise books and so on."

The salesperson thought for a moment and replied: "There is only one kind of tape, but not an exercise book."

"Okay, then show me the tape."

The salesperson took out a tape cassette from the cabinet behind him.

No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. They didn't put it outside at all.

Lu Ye took the tape case and looked at it. It read: Demonstration of pronunciation of English phonetic symbols.

I looked at the back and it said: Examples of pronunciation of common words.

Looking at it, Lu Ye shook his head. For some reason, his mind suddenly recalled the brainwashing words uttered by the rocking car on the street in his previous life.

And that invincible brainwashing song: What’s the name of my father’s father? What’s the name of my father’s mother?

Lu Ye felt a chill.

Asked: "How much does this cost?"

The salesperson asked: "This costs 12 yuan."

So expensive!

A book only costs one or two yuan, and a phonetic pronunciation tape costs 12 yuan.

"I want one."

After paying 12 yuan, Lu Ye took the tape and went to find Lu Hao.

This guy was holding a Walkman in his hand and standing in front of a small display case.

There is a poster somewhere, it's Andy Lau's album poster, with a sky blue background, composed of several scattered photos, Andy Lau has a cigarette in his right hand, hesitant but slightly sharp eyes, he is so handsome.

The poster also says "Andy Lau·Can It Be", I guess this is the name of the album.

Lu Ye stood behind Lu Hao, knowingly asking: "What do you mean?"

Hearing Lu Ye's voice, Lu Hao turned around with a smile: "Brother, Andy Lau is so handsome. Buy me one of his albums."

What can I say? Buy it.

Lu Ye went to the counter again and bought Lu Hao Hua Zai's album for 20 yuan. This was a genuine album and it was expensive.

Lu Hao hid Andy's album in his trouser pocket, fearing that his mother would find out, and followed Lu Ye to the door. He had gained a lot today and was very happy.

Song Shufen led her two sons to buy some groceries, and the mother and son went home.

In one day, Lu Ye went from having a household worth ten thousand yuan to being heavily in debt.

However, Lu Ye is very happy. He knows that money will become more and more valuable in the future, and real estate on commercial streets will become more and more valuable. He can buy this yard with these 16,000 yuan.

My family is definitely in trouble.

Among the three people, her mother Song Shufen had a serious face. She really couldn't relax. She spent so much money just to open a restaurant for her. What if she didn't do it well? Song Shufen had already thought about it.
