Pamper Eighties

It was almost noon, and there was no one in the bank. Several men and women at the counter were packing documents, and one was knitting sweaters on the side. The clothes they were wearing were pure white shirts, covered with blue. The Jiefang jacket is still collared by swallows, and it looks particularly stylish.

As soon as the cashier who knitted the sweater looked up, she saw the old lady Feng looking around in the hall. She put down the wool pole in her hand, slammed the glass on the counter and said, “That old lady, yes, it’s you, you come to the bank to do it. What?”

Old lady Feng smiled and walked to the front of the counter, took out a small stone from her pocket and handed it to her, “Comrade, can you see if you can sell this gold? How much can you sell it for?”

“Yo, it’s really gold.” Collecting gold and silver is the business of the People’s Bank of China. This female teller is a familiar one. As soon as the little stone started, she knew whether it was real gold or pure natural dog head gold.

The tellers at the back were still listening with their ears stunned, but now they saw that the old lady actually took out a piece of gold, and immediately the documents were no longer packed.

The female teller didn’t care about them, she just turned around and shouted at Mrs. Feng, “You wait, this gold has to be tested.”

Old lady Feng agreed nervously, staring at the gold in the teller’s hands, for fear that they would lose the gold. Old Man Feng and Su Wan, who were standing beside her, also followed the gold.

The female teller came out after a while with a few tools in her hand. She took the gold from her colleague, picked up the magnifying glass and stared at it, and weighed it on a small scale. After playing the abacus, he raised his head and said, “The purity of your gold is 98.6. We charge 43 yuan per gram, which is 35.58 grams in total, which is 1529 yuan and 9 cents4 for you.”

“How much? Say it again.” Madam Feng gasped. I’ll give you a mother. This gold is worth more than 1,500 yuan. Did she hear it right?

The female teller rolled her eyes and said impatiently, “1529 yuan 9 cents 4, do you sell it?”

“Sell!” Madam Feng was so happy that her eyes were spinning in circles, and the corners of her mouth were almost pulled behind her ears. She picked up Mengmeng in her arms and gave her a strong kiss on the face. His face was sunken in kisses.

The joy in her heart made her want to shout out loud, but she desperately endured it when it came to her mouth, and finally only a sentence came out from between her teeth: “My old Feng family’s golden baby, the golden lump you picked up is better than the whole family. You have made a lot of money in two years, why are you so promising?”

Old man Feng was also so happy that he saw the female teller ordering money inside. He wanted to walk around the business hall a few times, so that everyone in the world would know how happy he was.

It was normal to have only Su Wan in the family, but her tightly clenched fists and rapid breathing only made her seem calm.

The female teller was very fast, ordered two small banknotes in a short time, wrapped them in a yellow leather envelope and handed them out. Seeing that the family was obviously from the countryside, she kindly reminded: “I have the money, Don’t lose it.”

“Thank you so much, comrade, you are a good son of our people!” Madam Feng’s hand trembled as she took the envelope. When had she ever seen so much money put together? Although her family also has some savings, it is not even a hair compared to this money. No, she has to hide it quickly.

“Old man, where do you think we should hide this money?” Madam Feng calmed down and dragged her old man to the wall. Seeing people coming and going, she didn’t dare to go out, holding so much in her hand. As for the money, you have to hide it before you can go out.

Old man Feng groped around himself for a while, patted his chest secretly and said, “Put it here.”

“No, we can’t put them all together.” Madam Feng was still worried after thinking about it. If she lost so much money, she would have nowhere to cry.

“Mom, let’s hide it in our shoes, what do you think?” Su Wan suddenly said, she couldn’t think of where else to hide the money.

“Yes, yes, this is a good idea. You quickly take off your shoes.” Mrs. Feng accepted it as soon as she heard it. The old people are indeed literate people, no wonder they can give birth to a girl like Mengmeng.

She divided the money in the envelope into six parts, and hid them in six shoes. After she finished, she said, “Don’t take off your shoes. Be gentle when you walk. Don’t rub the money for me.”

“Understood, let’s go.” The family walked out of the business hall cautiously, and couldn’t help but observe the people around them. Seeing that no one noticed them, they quickly ran away, and it took a long time to slow down after walking out. , the breath in my heart was finally relieved.

“Let’s go, let’s go to the state-run restaurant for dinner.” With the money in her pocket, Mrs. Feng had a lot of confidence in her words. When she saw a state-run restaurant on the side of the road, there was a red star in the middle of the door. She was old-fashioned. Just right for her old Feng family.

The family walked into this state-run restaurant, and they just stepped on the meal point. There were so many people at the moment that Mrs. Feng’s eyes were swept away, and she immediately dispatched: “Old everyone, go and occupy a seat, old man, follow me. I’ll come, protect Mengmeng.”

Mrs. Feng and Mr. Feng sandwiched Mengmeng in the middle, and they squeezed past the crowd. They squeezed to the front in three or two strokes. Mrs. Feng took out the food stamp from her pocket and slammed it on the counter. He shouted loudly, “Four bowls of kuey teow, and another orange soda!”

The waiter’s reply also used to shout: “Kui Teow is 8 cents a bowl, a bottle of soda is 1 cents, a food stamp is 8 taels, and the money is 4 cents! Wait by the side!”

Madam Feng held the return ticket given by the waiter, and squeezed her old man to the next window again. The two held hands to prevent people from crowding Mengmeng. After waiting for a while, they finally got the kuey teow and soda.

“Don’t burn Mengmeng, I’ll take the soda, you take the kuey teow, hurry up.” Mrs. Feng grabbed the bottle of soda and turned around and left, the old man of her family carried four bowls of kuey teow by himself , followed closely, and when the two returned to their seats, they were all sweaty in the winter.

“Mom, you eat first, I’ll feed Mengmeng.” Su Wan reached out and took Mengmeng over, hugged her and sat in her arms, picked up the thin kuey teow and placed it on a spoon to cool.

This kuey teow is also made of rice noodles. After it is formed, it is cut into filaments. It is boiled in a bowl and then put in scallion oil. There are also several solid beef slices and soft tofu. Even the soup is boiled for a long time. The clear and bright broth, this bowl of red red, green and green, white and white, tastes the fragrance can be aftertaste for a long time.

Madam Feng picked out all the tender tofu in her bowl and gave it to Mengmeng. She smiled lovingly and said, “If Mengmeng can’t eat beef, we will eat more tofu. When you grow up, grandma will eat more tofu. Bring you here for beef.”

She opened the bag of air-dried meat that she had reserved, tore off a few pieces of jerky from it, and soaked them in three bowls. Mengmeng also ate with relish, and her face immediately burst into a smile.

Mengmeng filled her stomach, and Mrs. Feng carried her over for Su Wan to eat. She poured the soda into the bowl she brought, and fed Mengmeng with a small spoon.

As soon as Mengmeng drank the soda, she was so hot that the bubbles kept sticking out her tongue, and her two delicate eyebrows were still twitched, but she tasted the sweet orange flavor, and stuck out her tongue to put the spoon in The soda licked clean, and after a while he let out an orange-flavored burp.

Seeing that her mouth was turning yellow, Madam Feng said with a smile, “Is it delicious? We Mengmeng have never drunk orange soda when she grew up, so drink it slowly, this bottle is yours. If we can’t finish drinking, we’ll take it home and drink it.”

After eating, the Feng family packed up their things and went to the state-run store. The first thing they wanted to buy was that malted milk essence. Madam Feng touched the money in her pocket, walked to the counter confidently, and asked the salesperson, “Comrade, bring me two cans of malted milk, I want a larger one.”

The salesperson was a woman in her 40s who was still a little fat. She was standing there with her eyes narrowed and dozing off. She opened her eyes and said lazily, “Bring me the doctor’s certificate.”

“What? What doctor’s certificate do you need?” Feng’s family had never bought wheat milk essence. How could they know what a doctor’s certificate would be required?

The salesperson looked at them from top to bottom with half-squinted eyes, and knew in his heart that they were from the countryside, and said with a sneer on his face: “Wheat milk essence is a high-level nutritional product, and it needs to be opened by health centers above the county level. The doctor’s certificate, if there is no certificate, don’t make trouble.”

Madam Feng was unhappy at the moment. Isn’t this showing that she looks down on them? Her eyes suddenly stood up, her waist straightened, she slapped the counter vigorously and said, “What did you say, comrade? Now that the reform and opening up are in place, can’t I buy it if I have money? Attitude, I want to report you to your boss. If you don’t work well, you can fall asleep while standing, and yell at guests. Are you the big man sent by the landlord’s family? What about your boss? Call him out! “

The salesperson didn’t expect the old lady to be so hard-hearted, so he confessed it in his heart. Now it’s different from before. The leaders all ask to be nice to the guests and can’t beat or scold the guests anymore. She can’t wear small shoes. She can’t let the leaders know, so she softened her tone first: “Comrade, I don’t mean that, malted milk is expensive and must be sold with a doctor’s certificate, which proves that we all It’s not that I want to embarrass you, so let’s not call the leader, right?”
