Tang Wan called me early in the morning, and it's the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.
Jiang Chen thinks it's pretty good. After experiencing the initial discomfort and confusion, he has now begun to get used to it and likes his current life.
Free and unrestrained. Although I have no relatives, there are always people who care about me.
Get up early, put the chickens, feed the pigs, pick the day lilies, chop the bamboo shoots, and take them out to dry.
Put the spade on your back and go around the paddy field. Yes, the harvest day is getting closer, and you will soon be able to eat this year's new rice.
When I looked at the seedling field again, I saw that the seedlings had already emerged. They were dotted like duckweeds in the water, but they had grown longer than the previous two days.
Generally speaking, it is still early to transplant, you have to wait ten days and a half, but if you want to eat the vegetable seedlings, it is fast, it will not take a few days.
After returning home, I stabbed a fish in the fish pond as usual, and walked to Zhang Hai's new home to have dinner.
"Uncle Chen."
"Hey, you're so good, give me a hug and see if you've gained weight."
"..."
A child is actually very simple. She will be nice to and kiss anyone who treats her well.
Just like Tingting, she has only been around for a few days, but she has become clingy. She hugs him whenever he meets her, and visits him every day, otherwise Uncle Chen will be lonely.
Seeing him carrying the fish again, Yang Mei felt helpless: "How many times have I told you not to keep doing this? If you keep doing this, the fish will not dare to show its head."
"It's okay. I'll go straight to the net when it doesn't show up anymore. Everything is in the pond and can't reach anywhere else."
Jiang Chen smiled and put the fish down, but he didn't get the bayberry because there were vegetables. Yesterday he went to the purchasing station to sell cotton. Today Zhang Hai rushed to the street to buy meat.
I also bought some five-nut mooncakes to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Jiang Chen didn't care. When the food was served, he sat down and said to Zhang Hai while eating: "Are you busy today? If not, come with me to the city."
"It's not bad. It's just over two acres of cotton. I just picked one and it's fine." Zhang Hai said with a smile.
The money is actually not much, but this little life is really much more comfortable.
On the contrary, it was his parents, brother and sister-in-law who, as he and Yang Mei left, were in a state of turmoil and quarreling every now and then.
Jiang Chen and Jiang Chen were also unlucky. Either his sister-in-law would scold him from a distance, or his mother would come to the door and make a fuss.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "That's okay. It's getting dark earlier today, and the nights are getting longer and longer. I'm going to set up a TV, otherwise there will only be a few stars left at night."
"I think so. The money spent on buying a motorcycle is really not as good as buying a TV." Yang Mei said with a smile.
After saying that, he asked: "What kind of one are you going to buy, black and white or color?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Of course it's in color and it has to be big, right Brother Chen?" Zhang Haile said happily.
Yangmei retorted: "You know what? Colorful, big, to put it lightly, it doesn't cost money?"
"The question is, Brother Chen is rich, right, Brother Chen?"
"..."
The young couple have a good relationship.
My daughter is already two years old and she still quarrels all the time.
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Okay, don't argue. Zhang Hai is right. If you want to buy something, buy something big and colorful. Otherwise, you might as well count the stars."
After a pause, he added: "Put in a CD player. If you have a TV, you can watch TV, but if you don't have a TV, you can watch CDs."
Disk player, currently refers specifically to VCD.
This is a very old audio-visual playback device. Jiang Chen only remembered that there was such a thing when he saw a store renting discs on the street.
Yang Mei was a little surprised: "It's real or fake, and you still want to buy a CD player?"
"The disc player seems a bit expensive. I heard that one costs three to four thousand, and renting the disc is not cheap either. A disc costs several yuan a day," Zhang Hai said.
"Three or four thousand?"
"Is it so expensive?"
This time it was Jiang Chen's turn to be surprised.
He guessed that it wouldn't be very cheap. After all, any mobile phone these days costs seven to eight thousand yuan.
But a VCD costs 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, which is a bit beyond imagination to be honest.
Zhang Hai said: "I'm not sure, I heard there are so many."
"oh."
"It's okay. Three or four thousand is just three or four thousand. It's a small amount of money and you can afford it."
"..."
It's a bit expensive.
But when he thought that mobile phones cost RMB 8,000 to RMB, and Santana could sell for more than RMB 100,000, Jiang Chen felt that it was not unacceptable.
So after the meal, he went out with Zhang Hai under the expectant eyes of mother and daughter.
This time I took a car.
After squeaking all the way, we soon arrived at the town.
There are actually TVs in town, but there are fewer choices, no VCDs or anything like that.
The bus stopped here, someone got on the bus, and the conductor got off the bus again and shouted, "That means we have to wait a while and get more."
Being idle and bored, Jiang Chen asked, "Would you like something to drink? I'll buy it."
Zhang Hai shook his head, "If you don't want to drink it, Brother Chen, you can drink it!"
Jiang Chen smiled, got out of the car, and bought two cans of Jianlibao.
This stuff tastes pretty good, I drank it on the train.
It's just a bit expensive, it's only 2.50 yuan a can, but it costs 4 yuan on the train.
This is 1995...
Returning to the car, he threw a can to Zhang Hai: "Try it, it tastes good. Let's see if there are any prizes."
The words just fell...
"fifty thousand!"
"Haha, fifty thousand, Lao Wang, you won the lottery and you got rich!"
"..."
A sudden burst of laughter quickly made the car lively. People were talking about it, and many people were envious.
Jiang Chen looked confused.
what's the situation?
It seems like he hasn’t pulled it yet, right?
Zhang Hai hasn’t pulled it yet, he doesn’t seem to even know how to pull it!
Besides, neither he nor Zhang Hai are named Wang!
When he came back to his senses, his expression gradually became weird again.
At this time, he remembered a movie, "Crazy Stone".
I remember there was a scene in the movie about light rail, Coke, winning...
That's a complete scam!
So this kind of deception has been around for a long time?
Could it be that the initiator is Jianlibao?
This pull tab has a prize, and it is said that it was created by Jianlibao...
Zhang Hai was very excited: "Brother Chen, look, I won the prize, 50,000 yuan!"
"Then do you want it? I estimate that I can get the pull tab in their hands for about eighteen hundred!" Jiang Chen came back to his senses and opened the can in his hand, and sure enough, it wasn't there.
But the taste is really good. Oriental Magic Water is not called it for nothing. Even in the city, this thing is a luxury product.
Zhang Hai quickly followed suit and pulled away, widening his eyes to see...
No.
Then he asked: "It can't be possible. The person's family only has fifty thousand, so how is it possible to buy it for eighteen hundred?"
"Why isn't it possible?"
"It's true. Even if it's 18,000 people, let alone 1,800, they won't sell it to you. If it's fake, just say 8,000, and even 180 people will laugh to death."
Jiang Chen said casually, without deliberately raising his voice, but he didn't restrain himself much either.
Zhang Hai was stunned for a moment, but he finally came to his senses: "Brother Chen, do you mean this is a liar?"
"I didn't say that."
"It may be true, but there are a lot of scams nowadays, and many people have been deceived. So if you go out alone in the future, remember not to take advantage of it."
Jiang Chen smiled, and after speaking, he raised the can in his hand: "Okay, drink yours, we can't care about others, as long as we don't get fooled ourselves.
If you're really interested, go back and move a few boxes back, and let's move slowly, maybe we can win a prize."
