Parallel Rebirth 1980

Although the night markets of this era are not as colorful as in memories, they still have a different flavor. There are no high-rise buildings, but there are endless lively street stalls. There are no network cards and cinemas, but there are folk acrobatics that are crowded with people.

Zhang Qing'an was walking on the sidewalk among the street stalls. His second sister, cousin and others were dazzled by the lively streets.

"Yodi, it's marshmallow~"

Zhang Qingxi remembers eating it once when he was a child. At that time, his younger brother insisted on eating it. The old man couldn't bear it when he went to the market, so he bought a piece. At that time, a piece cost four cents and could buy two kilograms of cabbage.

"Boss, here are two marshmallows." Zhang Qing'an said to the boss.

Seeing Zhang Qingan dressed like a big boss, the vendor smiled and took out the sugar and started making it. The sugar strands were wrapped around the bamboo stick layer after layer like floating clouds. After a while, two marshmallows were formed.

The vendor owner handed the marshmallows to Zhang Qingan: "Two of them cost a dime."

Zhang Qingan took out a corner and handed it over, holding a marshmallow and sending it to Zhang Qingxi: "Here."

"Sister-in-law, do you want to eat the marshmallows?"

"Thank you Qing'an."

Huang Yumei took the marshmallow with a smile and ate it happily with her second sister.

"Qing'an, where is ours?"

Zhang Qinghuai blinked his eyes, and Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qinghai also licked their lips.

"Buy it yourself. You have money now, so don't be so stingy." Zhang Qing'an joked.

"Just buy it, it's only five cents." Zhang Qinghuai took out a large dime and handed it over: "Boss, I want one."

"I also want."

"Give me one too."

Vendors are happy to see business coming to their door and get busy.

Holding marshmallows, everyone looked at them while walking. The small things at the stalls on both sides always aroused everyone's curiosity. Because they had money, they also bought things under the guidance of Zhang Qingan.

Girls like hairpins, mirrors, rubber bands and the like, while boys look more at electronic gadgets. Unfortunately, they are too expensive. In the end, except for Zhang Qingan, who spent more than ten yuan on an electronic watch, the rest of them didn’t part with it.

.

A few people strolled around and came to the car dealership. Zhang Qing'an always regretted not buying a car last time, but this time he came and decided to buy a car anyway.

Seeing a customer coming to the door, the owner of the car dealership immediately came forward to greet him. With many years of experience in business, he quickly zeroed in on Zhang Qingan. Among the group of people, he was the only one in front of him who looked rich, so he should be the real owner.

"Boss, how do you sell these 28 big bars?"

The boss patted the brand new bicycle beside him: "Only 142."

"Can it be cheaper? I'll give you a fixed price." Zhang Qing'an touched the car and slowly felt the age.

The boss gritted his teeth and said, "If you like it, take it away for 140."

"120, okay, I'll give you the money immediately." Zhang Qing'an patted his pocket.

"Hey, little brother really likes to joke. I'm going to lose money on 120. If that doesn't work, why don't you take a look at the cars outside the door. Although they are second-hand, the parts are absolutely fine. You can ride them for only 80."

Zhang Qing'an waved his hand: "Forget it if it's second-hand. When I was in Yunwangkou, Shacheng, my friend could get this kind of car for 110 and 120. The boss just made less money."

The boss was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the young man in extraordinary clothes and was unsure whether what he said was true or false. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother, you are only looking at the surface. Our Baiwang County is not a prosperous area like Shacheng. It is difficult to purchase goods."

It’s more difficult, and my transportation costs me every day, so why don’t I give you a discount price of 130, and I’ll give you a rear seat cushion.”

"Okay, I'm also afraid of trouble. How long is your warranty period, boss?"

Zhang Qingan paid.

"Don't worry, as long as the Little Bear brand is not man-made, if there is any problem, it will be replaced with a new one within one year."

"That's fine."

After paying 130, Zhang Qingan pushed the bicycle and left the dealership.

Zhang Qinghuai and others following behind were touching their brand-new bicycles one by one. Zhang Qingxi was also full of joy. Everyone was just out for a stroll, and my brother actually bought a car.

"Qing'an, can you ride a bicycle?"

Huang Yumei asked curiously, and everyone also thought about it, yes, can Qing'an know how to ride a bicycle?

Everyone had just realized this serious problem, but the next moment they discovered that Zhang Qingan was riding a bicycle in a circle skillfully. Not to mention bicycles, tractors, tricycles, electric vehicles, and cars, he could easily use them.

"Sister, sit down."

Zhang Qingan propped his toes on the ground and patted the back seat.

"You don't know how to wrestle."

Zhang Qingan is timid. She has never ridden a bicycle.

"Don't worry, I won't fall. My skills are good."

"Yeah~"

Zhang Qingxi got into the car and the car started immediately. She hugged Yaodi and felt the cool wind on both sides as if flying. This was the first time she experienced this magical feeling. Although it was a bit cold, it was really fascinating.

.

"It's my turn, it's my turn."

"Take me for a ride too."

"Come one by one, sister-in-law, you go up first."

…

After buying a car, everyone was no longer in the mood to hang around. They rode the car on the side of the road and let themselves go. Seeing Zhang Qingan's car riding so smoothly, Zhang Qinghuai and others wanted to try it, but they failed after a few steps.

I almost fell down and stopped trying after a few unsuccessful attempts.

"Qing'an, you are really capable. I remember that Lu Daofeng's family also has a bicycle, which he bought for 142. You are 12 yuan cheaper than him, and you also got a cushion as a gift."

Zhang Qinghuai admired him from the bottom of his heart. He had never realized that this unknown cousin had such abilities. He had never seen such a eloquent person.

"Qing'an, when have you been to Yunwangkou?" Zhang Qingshan was curious. He suddenly remembered that when he bought a car before, Zhang Qing'an said that he had been to Yunwangkou, which was the most prosperous area in Shacheng.

"I've never been there, so I'm just trying to blow up the boss."

Mainly because people in this period were not smart enough in business and the market was not transparent enough, otherwise he would not be able to fool the boss. In fact, he felt that the price could still be suppressed, but he just didn't want to put in so much effort.

Zhang Qing'an got out of the car and asked the waiter to park the car and lock it because he had arrived at the hotel. In this era, the 28-inch bar was considered a valuable item.

"Ah? Can it still be like this?"

Zhang Qingshan scratched his head, as if seeing a new world...

After a night's rest, a few people got on the van home early the next morning, and it took more than three hours to reach Changhe Town.

"I'll bring the things for you. My sister and I will leave first."

Zhang Qing'an took his second sister and walked quickly across the ridge of the ten-mile-long river on the 28-meter pole.

"Honey, when I learn how to do it, I'll buy one and take you for a ride." Zhang Qinghuai promised, holding Huang Yumei's hand.

Huang Yumei nodded, her eyes full of sweetness, and the Qingshan brothers involuntarily quickened their pace, not wanting to eat their dog food here.

"Honey, why don't you give me the money? Let's pool our money and we can buy it soon."

Huang Yumei, who was touched just now, said: "What a beautiful thought. My cousin Qing'an said I earned this."

Seeing Zhang Qinghuai's disappointed look, Huang Yumei changed her tone: "But if you promise me something, I can give it to you."

"Really~"

…

"Yao brother, slow down, slow down, I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of? Just close your eyes. We'll be home in the blink of an eye..."

At the end of the long ridge, the direction of Zhangjiacun gradually became clear, and the villagers working with hoes on their shoulders could be vaguely seen in the ridge.

The blind date in the field can be seen by the sound of the bicycle bell.

"Hey~ It's Sanwa, Sanwa and the others are back."
