There were only two items that could represent a man's status.
One was a car, and the other was a watch. Most men were infatuated with these two items.
Li Chengguo, who had a bicycle, naturally had to arrange for a watch.
Moreover, in a few months, watches would also become one of the high-priced products.
Buy it early and enjoy it early!
Li Chengguo arrived at Wangfujing Department Store.
It was almost time to get off work. At a glance, there were more salespeople than people shopping in the department store.
In order to increase the time people stayed and increase their purchasing power, the Shang Chao of the later generations...
It would be like building a maze. As long as one entered, they would not be able to get out for hours.
At this moment, the Wangfujing Department Store could be seen from one end to the other.
It was very clear and bright.
There were round or oval glass counters that displayed the most high-end and fashionable goods in the country.
The salesperson stood behind the counter, opened the glass door, and took out what the customer wanted from the shelf.
Li Chengguo spent 90 yuan on a Shanghai brand semi-steel watch that was the most popular in this era.
Good goods were not cheap, and cheap goods were not good.
This sentence was applicable to both ancient and modern times.
The reason why Shanghai watches were so popular among the people was that
That was because this brand had extraordinary strength and technology.
In the past, there was no watch factory in Shanghai, only a small workshop to repair watches.
In the early 1950s, the Shanghai Watch Factory was officially built.
The first batch of watches was produced the following year.
The quality of the watch was close to the world's top level, and it could keep moving for more than 36 hours, with a daily difference of less than one minute.
The watch industry had already appeared in the 16th century.
Li Chengguo put on his watch and felt a deep sense of national pride.
After leaving the department store, he ran north along Donghuang Chenggen South Street and returned to the Siheyuan.
As soon as she arrived at the backyard, she saw Xu Damao, who was handling the chicken by the pond.
Li Chengguo was very satisfied. Tonight, he stewed the big rooster that disturbed people's dreams.
Xu Damao carried the washed chicken and ran to Li Chengguo.""Hey, I heard that you got 3000 pounds of eggs for the factory. Do you still have a lot of eggs?
We're neighbors after all. Look how clean I washed this chicken.
My hands are red from the cold. Give me half a catty of eggs.”
Lee Chengguo took a look and saw that the chicken was indeed cleaned.""So you're saying that you're at a disadvantage if you exchange a pound of eggs for your chicken?”
"That's right! Look at my hand,
It's almost frozen into pig hooves." Xu Damao quickly gave up. Li Chengguo definitely had a lot of eggs, so he just wanted half a catty more. It was not much!
"But this is what we agreed on this morning.
If you feel that you're losing out, then don't change.
It's the same for me to eat scrambled eggs at night.”Li Chengguo felt that Xu Damao was even more petty than the chicken in his hand.
This kind of person was the best at stepping on the nose and taking advantage of others. Today, give him half a catty of eggs.
Tomorrow, he would even be able to ask you for another catty of eggs to make up for his chicken.
"No, I've already killed this chicken for you. How can you not exchange it? You have to change!" Xu Damao immediately became anxious.
This Li Chengguo was really stingy. He could get so many eggs for the factory, so what was wrong with giving him half a catty more?!
"Don't. I can't let you suffer a loss by staying in the same courtyard. You'd better find someone else to change.”Li Chengguo pushed his bicycle back to his house.
"Hey, you, we agreed this morning that you have to take this chicken no matter what!”
Xu Damao held the chicken and chased after Li Chengguo." A man's words are like spit and a nail. You can't go back on your word!”
Li Chengguo sneered." You're the one who broke your promise first. Don't you think you're losing out on a pound of eggs?"”
"I…I'll leave the chicken here for you. Hurry up and give me a pound of eggs!”Xu Damao was anxious and angry.
Why was it so difficult to take advantage of Li Chengguo?!
However, one catty of eggs was one catty. Anyway, Li Chengguo had given more than ten catties of eggs to the factory for free. He would be taking advantage of Li Chengguo if he went to the factory to eat them tomorrow!
"Look at you, why do you still specialize in losing money?”Lee Chengguo teased as he took the egg.
Xu Damao's eyes widened when he saw the egg that Li Chengguo took out.
The eggs he had bought from the market were only the size of walnuts.
In the past year, they couldn't even buy eggs the size of walnuts.
The eggs that Li Chengguo gave him were all red eggs the size of goose eggs!
Xu Damao quickly lifted his cotton jacket and carefully held the egg.
He was happy and proud. This time, he had taken advantage of Li Chengguo.
Such good eggs could not even be bought for 1.50 yuan!
When Li Chengguo had just placed the eight eggs, Xu Damao quickly ran, afraid that if he was a step slower, the eggs would be taken back by Li Chengguo.
Li Chengguo gave the two cubs a few White Rabbit Creamy Candies each.""Go and call Grandma over for dinner."
"Yes! Thank you, brother." The two little fellows looked at the chicken on the table and knew that there was going to be a big meal tonight.
As usual, the two children each took a toffee and stuffed it into Li Chengguo's mouth. Then, they skipped to call the deaf old lady.
Li Chengguo, who did not like sweets in the future, was successfully led astray by the two cubs.
At this moment, he was eating the milk candy proudly while holding the kitchen knife and thinking about how to chop the chicken.
He raised his hand and chopped the noisy chicken into twenty-one pieces.
For dinner, there was braised chicken, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and white rice.
Li Chengguo picked a few more apples and tried to make a few apple pies.
On the way back, he saw a hundred years of profit and wanted to buy fruit bread for the two children, but he had money but no tickets.
He could only wait for a few days before buying the pastry tickets.
"Big Sun, what are you cooking?”The Deaf Old Lady had smelled the fragrance in the courtyard. There would definitely be meat to eat tonight!
"Please take a seat. I just made a little. Come, try this chicken and see if you can bite it.”
Li Chengguo helped the old lady to sit down, filled her bowl with rice, and picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks.
"I can eat meat every meal with my eldest grandson! It's really rotten and delicious!" The old lady took a bite of the chicken and was full of praise.
Qin Huairu stood outside a door, smelling the fragrance of meat and the laughter from Li Chengguo.
She wished she could break in and smash their bowls!
Why could the deaf old lady be Li Chengguo's guest of honor but not her?
She had the looks and figure she wanted.
What could that old lady give him?!
The stubborn Li Chengguo was still in the police station because of him.
During the day, because she was worried about the stick, she was absent-minded at work, causing the products she made to be unqualified. She was detained and asked to work overtime again.
She was the only female worker in the huge workshop. She cried as she worked.
When she finally finished her work and came back, she did not care about the two children who were crying from hunger at home. She wanted to settle Xu Damao first.
In the end, she heard Li Chengguo cooking meat again!
Envy, jealousy, and hatred surged in his chest.
After taking a deep look at Li Chengguo's room and wiping away the tears on her face, Qin Huairu pushed the door open and entered Xu Damao's room.
The moment Qin Huairu entered the room, she saw Xu Damao sitting alone at the dining table, drinking.
There was a plate of golden eggs and a plate of peanuts on the table.
"Yo, your food is good enough. Where's Lou Xiao'e?”Qin Huairu smiled like a flower as she peeked into the room.
"You're back at your mother's house. What are you doing?" Xu Damao was unhappy that the stick had stolen his chicken, so he looked at Qin Huairu with a sour expression.
Qin Huairu's tears flowed down before she could say anything." Tell me if you're dissatisfied with anything.
Why are you angry with the stick?
You know the meme is my life, and the meme is caught.
Aren't you going to take my life?"
Qin Huairu said as she walked to Xu Damao's side.
He picked up Xu Damao's wine cup, poured a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp."This glass of wine is my punishment. Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Just as Xu Damao was about to say that it was the wine cup he had drunk from, he saw Qin Huairu drink it right where his lips left a mark.
Not only was Xu Damao not a gentleman, but he was also a complete villain.
A man and a woman were alone in the same room, and the woman was a pretty widow who needed his help.
Coupled with Qin Huiru's figure, she could be considered one of the best in their courtyard.
Her tear-stained face made Xu Damao's heart itch.
Xu Damao tentatively grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and rubbed it twice.""Look at what you're saying. We're all staying in the same courtyard.
I watched him grow up.
He's no different from my son. How can I harm him?
Come, come, sit down."
