The End of Technology

The cousin's extremely serious words made Ning Zi's face turn red.

But in fact, these remarks are not an exaggeration.

Needless to say, IQ, those who have been certified by March have not reached a certain standard. With Mr. March's temperament, he will not give it a second glance.

As for appearance...

At Ning Xiao's strong request, she took off her heavy black-rimmed glasses and replaced them with elegant black metal frames and ultra-thin lenses, paired with the carefully modified hairstyle of Tony, the only teacher with design capabilities in the county. The white T-shirt that never changes in summer is exclusive to the county, the ugly red and white school uniform, and then put on the clothes that Ning Xiao has chosen for a long time.

How to put it, it is obvious that as a new generation of women in the Ning family, their aesthetic ability is still far higher than that of the Ning family father and son.

It is said that I have saved three months' salary, but in fact it is only about 3,000 yuan. After changing my glasses and getting a haircut, I actually don't have much left. Of course, I can't buy any brand-name clothes, but even if they are street stalls, the style of clothes With a little bit of selection, coupled with the minimalist black and white classic combination, Ning Jie still had a 360-degree change.

That one is handsome...

Even the female owner of the clothing store looked straight at her, and said to Ning Xiao with admiration: "You are really discerning, your boyfriend is so handsome. In this way, I won't make any money on this suit of mine. The original price is 280, but I can sell it for 150 For you guys."

Ning Xiao glanced at the female boss and said: "Haha, eldest sister, you are mistaken. This is not my boyfriend, but my brother, dear! But I won't mess with you since you can talk. I negotiated the price, and let him wear it directly for 50 yuan."

"50 yuan? Why do you kid like to talk nonsense? I paid 150 yuan for this set of clothes! I'll sell it to you for 50 yuan, and I'll drink the northwest wind?"

"150 for ten pounds, right? That's about right. You said you'd give us the purchase price. This pair of shorts and a T-shirt costs 50, which is pretty much it. I visited the morning market of Muzhou Clothing Wholesale Market at three in the morning."

Muzhou is the city closest to Luoyu County, and it is also where Ning Xiao works. The clothing wholesale market here is very famous in the entire Nanhu Province. It has no special features. The key lies in two words - cheap!

Shorts with a wholesale price of ten yuan a piece and T-shirts with a wholesale price of fifteen yuan each are not too many in the market, and there are even ones sold directly by the pound. Although quality is a matter of opinion, it is very consistent with the consumption level of ordinary small counties.

There are also high-income groups in Luoyu County, but they are very few, and most of their daily lives are not here. The vast majority of people are actually ordinary people.

The average salary of about 2,000, combined with the housing price of more than 6,000, will not make people hungry, but it is naturally impossible to make ordinary people living in small counties and surrounding towns and villages afford higher consumption. Yes, most people don’t have the ability to pay for various brand premiums.

All kinds of high imitation and rough clothing that are looked down upon in big cities have become the most cost-effective choice for ordinary people here.

"It also depends on the quality! Look at the quality of these pants. Are they the kind that are weighed by the kilogram? So, I will lose a little today, eighty, you can take it!" the female stall owner said with a painful look on her face.

"Sixty yuan at most, fixed price. If you don't want to sell it, we'll leave. This street is full of clothes sellers. Maybe there are better-looking ones ahead."

"You're a young girl. You've finally got back to your old life. Forget it, let's open the business today, just sixty. Hey... remember to take more care of your aunt's business next time. I'm really losing money and making a living. Do you want me to help you put away your old clothes?"

"Yeah, you really think the clothes you have here can be worn directly! If I weren't in a hurry today, sixty would be too expensive for me. I would have to take this clothes back and sew the seams again, especially the trouser pockets. , maybe I have to add two pieces of cloth to make the pocket again, otherwise there will be holes in it in two days!" Ning Xiao glanced at the proprietress, took out his mobile phone and started scanning the code.

Ning Zi was silently listening to her cousin bargaining with the store.

It’s very lifelike, but also too lifelike…

After all, he is someone who has been to the capital. Although he didn't care about what clothes to wear and what shoes to match before, he has seen it after all. Looking back at this time, Ning Zi discovered that the clothes Ning Xiao wore were actually not glamorous, and there were even signs of wear and tear on the collar.

Thinking of the bank card that the uncle took out that day with a deposit of 100,000 yuan, which was probably the uncle's family's life savings, Ning Zi suddenly had a concept of money again. In fact, he doesn't care what clothes he wears, but he has to stop his cousin, who has been very good to him since childhood, from living such a tight life.

…

"Sister, how much money can you make in a month in the city?"

After walking around the market twice and buying three sets of clothing for Ning Zi, Ning Xiao finally got tired and took Ning Zi into a cold drink shop on the street to take a rest. Ning Zibian also asked this question naturally.

"I usually get two thousand seventy-eight, but if I need to work overtime during the holidays when the supermarket business is good, I can get more than three thousand."

"Oh, what about the expenses?"

"Hey, it's just that the expenses are high. The supermarket only covers accommodation but not food. I'm greedy. It costs more than 2,000 yuan to eat and snack for a month. Otherwise, I can take you to a specialty store to buy clothes. Wait, you Why are you asking these questions?" Ning Xiao replied very distressedly.

"I just want to tell you that the professor promised me that when school starts, he will give me a scholarship of 500,000 yuan. We will get half of the money by then." Ning Zi said seriously.

"How much? Half a million scholarships? So high?" Ning Xiao was startled and asked quickly.

"Yes, what he said on his own initiative was not what I wanted." Ning Zi explained.

"Sure enough, you still have to study well to make a lot of money."

Ning Xiao sighed with emotion, and then said with a sad face: "I knew I would have studied hard back then! But Ning Zi, I can't take your money. Five hundred thousand sounds like a lot, but houses in the capital are expensive! You will definitely do it in the future You want to stay in the capital. If you want to buy a house, your dad can't help you. I suggest you save up your scholarship money and save it for buying a house in the capital in the future. Besides, I would like to thank you very much if you can help me introduce a permanent job in the capital. La. I’ve always dreamed of visiting a big city!”

After saying that, Ning Xiao patted Ning Zi's head as usual.

"Huh? Actually, I still have money. I wrote an article and waited until it was published..."

"Okay, I know you are the best. But Ning Zi, you are a man, and you will do great things in the future! My dad often says that money is the courage of men. Men can have nothing, but they must have money. So. , don’t worry about me, listen to my sister, save all your money, maybe you will use it sometime! As for your sister, I..."

"Oh my gosh, if I work at a university in Beijing, I can still have a staff, and maybe I can have winter and summer vacations. No matter what the supervisor's face, the school will definitely pay five social insurances and one housing fund, and you can also eat in the school cafeteria. Maybe in the future I can also find a husband who is a teacher in college! Ning Zi, this is already the most perfect life I can imagine! Before my mother called me yesterday, I couldn’t even imagine such a life. !”

Ning Xiao said with longing, and successfully blocked Ning Zi's words...

Ning Zi blinked, then fell into deep thought...
