Guitar
As soon as she got home, her adoptive mother started nagging again.
"Rascal, you can't live anymore. How much did you spend? Why did he bring back another bicycle?”
"Not much. It's only 1 yuan. My friends gave it to me. The most expensive ones are these eels and watermelons. Give the eels to Dad and add some green peppers to stir-fry them.”
"Look at how tired he is from working overtime recently. Can't he eat better? There's no profit in that factory.”
"I bought this car for a friend."
Yi Yongqing explained with a smile.
"Girlfriend?"
His adoptive mother chuckled.
"Girlfriend! You don't have to ask!"
Yi Yongqing also laughed foolishly.
"Alright, I won't ask."
"There are so many eels. I'm afraid they weigh a few kilograms. Did you buy them for 1 yuan? Then I'll give you another dollar to buy it.”
Her adoptive mother pouted in disbelief.
One yuan was definitely not enough to buy it. In fact, it cost 1.80 yuan. In total, it was more than six catties, which was less than 30 yuan per catty. Uncle He's village got it for him, so it was naturally cheap.
Hou Jianjun didn't share these eels with him. They were all prepared to be eaten at home.
"Aiyo, my biological mother, I still have something to do. I'm leaving, I'm leaving!”
Yi Yongqing laughed as he finished speaking, then he covered his head and fled like a rat.
It was Friday in two days. He was busy preparing a gift for He Yushui. He had to spend a lot of money and find the right place. Yi Yongqing rode out.
Yi Yongqing asked as he ran, and it took him two hours to find the right place.
"What do you need?"
A man at the counter, who was either the boss or the salesperson, asked Yi Yongqing who walked in.
"Let me take a look first!"
Yi Yongqing said with a smile.
This was a musical instrument store. Other than some Chinese instruments, there were also some foreign instruments.
These days, the most famous foreign instrument was the guitar. It was very popular. If you had a guitar, you would definitely be the most beautiful boy. No matter where you went, you would be the center of attention.
In this day and age, many people felt that foreign instruments were good, strong, and powerful. Of course, there were many people like this in the future. In this musical instrument store, few people were interested in Chinese instruments.
"How much is this guitar?"
Yi Yongqing pointed at a red cotton guitar and asked.
In this era, the domestic guitar was basically produced in a province in the south. The more famous one was the Hong Mian guitar, and many small workshops sold it under the label.
Because the technology was not mature and the production efficiency was very low, they could only allocate the production to small workshops.
"This one, 27 dollars."
the man told Yi Yongqing.
"Can I try?"
Yi Yongqing asked.
"Of course."
the man said with a smile. Yi Yongqing came here on a brand-new bicycle. He didn't look like a poor family.
These days, Yi Yongqing had accumulated nearly 700 points. Because he had learned guitar and music theory in his previous life, his music level was also LV2.
Now that he had spent dozens of points to level up to Lv. 3, Yi Yongqing could still play ordinary songs coherently.
Nowadays, many Hong Mian Guitars were trash. One couldn't buy one without trying it out.
"Two tigers…"
Yi Yongqing first tried playing some simple songs and found that the guitar's tone and quality were not bad. It could be used, so he spent money to buy it.
Yi Yongqing definitely couldn't afford an instrument from a foreign brand.
After completing his mission, Yi Yongqing heaved a sigh of relief. He returned home and put the guitar away.
"What did you buy this time? Carrying a big box? Spending money again?"
His adoptive mother was also very curious.
"A guitar. I'll play a song for you later. I'll play whatever you want to hear.”
Yi Yongqing said with a smile, directly ignoring what his adoptive mother said.
She had dinner at home and practiced playing the guitar secretly in the evening, waiting to surprise He Yushui.
"It sounds so good. When did you learn this?”
His adoptive mother asked him with a smile.
"Isn't this something you can do with your hands?"
Yi Yongqing said cheekily.
At night, he had braised eel with Yi Zhonghai and drank a little wine before Yi Yongqing went to rest.
He spent money like water. He originally had more than 30 yuan on him, but he had earned 18 yuan. He had spent nearly 10 yuan from going to Uncle He's place to buy groceries and so on. He had also borrowed 10 yuan from Monkey, spent 25 yuan on the guitar (two yuan less after bargaining), and spent some other miscellaneous expenses. He only had 1.7 cents left.
Overnight, they returned to the days before the revolution, and they became the working class again.
Yi Yongqing looked forward to Saturday and Sunday.
It was still work on Thursday. Just as he was about to go out in the morning, Yi Yongqing met Lou Xiao'e.
"Sister, you've changed so much!"
"I almost didn't recognize you."
Yi Yongqing teased.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Why are you riding two bikes?"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said happily.
In the past two days at work, her colleagues said that she had changed a lot. She had become more beautiful, her clothes matched well, and she was young. In short, it was a good compliment.
"Uh, it's not an exaggeration. You're a fairy now.”
"I brought this car for someone."
"Oh right, that He Yuzhu, he seems to have something to ask of you. He can't say it, so he asked me to tell you.”
Yi Yongqing's mouth was filled with sweetness. Lou Xiao'e could help with He Yuzhu's matter.
"Him? Do you have something to ask of me? And you're telling me? It can't be, right?"
Lou Xiao'e did not believe it at all. He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were sworn enemies. Everyone in the courtyard knew about it.
She was Xu Damao's wife, and He Yuzhu usually did not even look at her.
"You can ask him yourself. I don't know what it is!”
"I'm going to work. Bye!"
Yi Yongqing smiled and rode away. Brother Zhu, this is all I can help you with.
"Sigh…I didn't explain it clearly."
"I'm not asking him."
Lou Xiao'e snorted and left.
