How to Thrive in the ’60s

Squeezing out from the crowd, Yun Chang rubbed her cheeks with a look of fear, and muttered in her heart, she didn't expect that the tall wheat milk essence in the novel would have to be bought by grabbing it.

She still underestimated the purchasing power of people in this era.

The two went up to the third floor. On the blue-brick platform on the right side of the stairs, there were five bicycles, four Phoenix 28 bicycles, and a slightly shorter permanent brand women's bicycle, each of which was wiped clean. , placed there, particularly eye-catching.

At this time, there were five people in front of the table, two big and three small. It seemed that the whole family came out to buy bicycles.

The three children chatted and said this car was good for a while, and that car was good for a while, it was very lively.

As a parent, the man bent down to compare several bicycles carefully, and from time to time he turned around to ask his wife's opinion, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time.

The family couldn't settle down, and Yun Chang and Gu Shinian also had differences. Gu Shinian took a fancy to the lady's bicycle at a glance, while Yun Chang felt that he was too young to ride a bicycle for the time being, and insisted on Gu Shi's buy a men's car.

Neither of them could convince the other, and they were arguing in a low voice, head to head:

"A-Shang, there are not many bicycles in the county now. They are bought for men. If someone wants to borrow a bicycle, do you think we should borrow it or not?"

"But I'm only six years old after the new year. I can't ride a bicycle for at least five or six years. Do I buy it and put it in my house?"

"How can it fall, I can usually ride it."

"It's not ugly for a man to ride a woman's car!"

"What's so ugly, women's cars can't be ridden the same?"

"Second brother Gu, I bought a men's bike this time. When I can ride a bicycle, you can find a way to buy me a women's bike. If I buy a women's bike now, won't I have to ride an old bike in the future? "

...

After arguing for a long time, Yun Chang finally succeeded in persuading Gu Shinian to buy a men's car first. .

Unlike the family who were still deliberating and comparing, Yunshang and Gu Shinian went over to check the tires, chose a car that was pleasing to the eye, and asked the clerk to issue the ticket.

A bicycle requires a bicycle ticket, plus one hundred and eighty yuan, which is equivalent to half a year's salary of a worker. The two simply paid the money quickly, which attracted frequent glances from the surrounding people.

Yunshang did not change his face, and asked Gu Shinian innocently, "Second brother, will my father like the bicycle I chose?"

Gu Shinian answered tacitly, "Yes, as long as the father you choose likes it."

"That's good. Dad will have a bicycle to go to work in the future."

Everyone suddenly realized that the two children were buying bicycles for the family.

Thinking about it this way, no one would continue to pay attention to the two of them, except that they felt that the adults in the family were big-hearted.

There is a small door on the back wall of the third floor of the department store. It was originally a passage for employees to load goods. The clerk helped the two carry the bicycles down the passage. Only then did the two find out that they entered the inner courtyard of the department store. A few steps ahead is the department store. back door.

Go out through the back door, pass through a small alley, and return to the street.

Yun Chang sat on the bar in front, and she was very excited. Not only did she get a lot of antiques today, she also bought new clothes, bought a big stove, and most importantly, bought a bicycle for Gu Erge.

In the future, second brother Gu will be a car family.

Even in provincial capitals, this bike is considered a luxury, let alone in Qinghe County.

After waiting another four or five years, I still don't know how many big girls are waiting for Second Brother Gu. At that time, she will have to keep her eyes open and choose for herself a sister-in-law with a good personality, a good-looking face, and good-looking hands.

Yun Chang was in a good mood, and even the bleak and dark streets could see a different kind of beauty in her eyes.

"Second brother Gu, where are we going now?"

"I'm tired today, go back to the guest house to rest first." Gu Shinian's voice was as calm as ever.

Yun Chang regretted that he did not understand his excitement,

Feeling a little disappointed, he pouted and asked, "Second brother, it's not yet five o'clock, can you sleep well?"

Gu Shinian really didn't understand where Yun Chang's vigorous energy came from, and said helplessly again:

"A-Shang, be obedient, rest early today, and I'll take you to the black market tomorrow morning..."

When Yun Chang heard the word 'black market', she was surprised at first, and then she turned around and looked at Gu Shinian suspiciously.

"Second brother Gu, are we going back to Qinghe County?" Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to take her out in such a hurry to make a big purchase and visit the black market.

"It's been a while since we came out, it's time to go back."

Gu Shinian didn't say it, Yun Chang didn't realize it yet, and after careful calculation of the time, he found that both of them had been out for ten days.

Thinking that there was still a pile of rotten meat in the space, Yun Chang lowered her voice and asked, "Second brother Gu, what about that beast Sun Datou? Throw it in the provincial capital, or should you find an opportunity to throw it away later?"

"If you are really reluctant to respond, we will find an opportunity to throw him at the gate of the orphanage tomorrow. If you can bear it, then wait for a while."

Yun Chang thought about it for a while, and felt that she didn't think about it, didn't watch it, but she reluctantly didn't respond so much, so she simply agreed with Gu Shinian's suggestion.

When the sky was dark, the two of them were about to arrive at the train station. They found a place to put all the things that should be collected into the space, and strode towards the guest house against the wind.

Back in the room, the two of them closed the door first and entered the space. They packed up the calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and desks and chairs one by one, ready to put them in the office on the eighth floor.

After this arrangement, Yun Chang realized that there were quite a lot of things that he had passed along, including seven pairs of calligraphy and paintings in good condition, three pairs of vases, four inkstone tables, one bronze mirror, and five palm-sized jewelry boxes. There is also a set of tables and chairs of huanghuali wood, two cabinets and two round stools of rosewood.

Yunshang also looked at the seal under the calligraphy and painting. There is no one she has heard of, and she doesn't know whether the owner of the calligraphy and painting is not famous, or because this is another world, and everyone she knows no longer exists.

However, there were a pair of vases with numbers on the bottom, which made Yun Chang very excited.

Gu Shinian gently wiped the ancient objects clean with a muslin cloth, and Yunshang cleaned up an empty room on the eighth floor, and stored all the antique calligraphy, paintings, tables and chairs in it.

After that, the two found several sacks, each containing 50 catties of rice, or white flour, ready to be traded on the black market tomorrow.

After dinner, the two went to bed early. Although Yun Chang said that she was not tired, she was young, and followed Gu Shinian to play wildly outside all day. fast asleep.

The night was getting dark, and the faint moonlight came in through the window. Gu Shinian glanced at the time, got up and put on his clothes, and walked over to coax Yunshang to get up.

Yun Chang was also thinking about going to the black market. It was rare that she didn't get up. After waking up, she dressed and washed quickly, and followed Gu Shinian downstairs.
