23. Sewing Machine
Wang Wei is very much in favor of Liu Yi's proposal, "This plan is good. It not only allows Zheng Shan to have a job, but also has no substantive interest relationship."
"Okay, since you agree, then I'll leave this matter to you." Liu Yi said with a smile.
He took the big favor, and the small one naturally gave it to Wang Wei.
In this matter, the human relationship represented by Zheng Lan is much larger than that of Zheng Shan personally.
This is considered from several aspects.
Although fundamentally still relying on Zheng Shan, but Zheng Shan's identity is here, but many things need to be carefully considered.
............
After Zheng Shan finished his work, he continued to stroll, and not long after he came to Wangfujing Street, which is now one of the most prosperous places in the capital.
Looking at the streets with people coming and going and the shops everywhere, Zheng Shan also felt the prosperity of this era.
Sales department, clothing store, watch repair shop, Xinhua Bookstore, and a few optical shops, etc.
Seeing all this, Zheng Shan regretted not bringing a camera here.
Zheng Shan knows that it won't be long before all these things will be changed, and many things will change.
Thinking of this, next time, let Du Yougao bring a camera over to record this era that belongs to Zheng Shan's perspective.
While strolling around, Zheng Shan unconsciously found something more in his hands.
When shopping, Zheng Shan also discovered that this time Liu Yi and the others exchanged a kind of sewing ticket.
Just went straight to buy one.
This year's sewing machine can be considered a "luxury" for the family.
"Four turns and one beep" refers to the sewing machine.
Now if anyone gets married with a sewing machine, the woman's family will feel full of face. This is a very wealthy family.
Their Lao Zheng family didn't have this ability before, and it was already very good to be able to eat enough.
When the eldest got married, he even borrowed his bicycle.
But in this era, there is no door-to-door delivery, so Zheng Shan also spent fifty cents to ask a trolley to help him pull it home.
When they got to the alley, someone saw Zheng Shan, and when they saw the scooter pulling beside him, someone immediately came over to ask.
When they heard that Zheng Shan really bought it, many people had envious looks on their faces.
When Zheng Shan passed by, he was still discussing.
"How much money do you think the third child of the Zheng family has?" Someone asked enviously.
"How much money can he have? No amount is enough for him to lose. You see, he doesn't even have a job. Sooner or later, the money will run out." Someone said sourly.
Some people also inquired if Zheng Shan had a partner, and wanted to see if he could introduce his daughter or relatives to Zheng Shan.
That's the power of a sewing machine these days.
Most families don't have it anyway.
When Zheng Shan helped carry the sewing machine into the compound, it attracted more people.
"Dashan, did you buy a sewing machine?" Aunt Li's eyes lit up.
During this period of time, she really tried to find a partner for Zheng Shan, but people heard that Zheng Shan did not have a job yet, and most people were unwilling.
Even if Zheng Shan came back from abroad, even this is a minus in the eyes of some people.
Now, if Zheng Shan had a sewing machine, things would be much easier.
Zheng Shan replied with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Li, if you need to use it, just come directly."
"Haha, that's good." Aunt Li was even happier when she heard it.
This year's clothes are about the new three years and the old three years, and the sewing and mending for another three years.
It would be much more convenient if it had a sewing machine.
Others were also excited when they heard it, and asked if they could use it.
Zheng Shan naturally agreed to these.
But soon the mother came to hear the news, and the first thing was to reprimand Zheng Shan for spending money.
But this time it wasn't as severe as before, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
In Zhong Huixiu's view, this is doing business and it is worth the money.
"His aunt, the third child of your family is well-developed. You see, it's not long since you came back. The radio and sewing machine have been purchased for you. From now on, the two of you will enjoy the blessings." Someone complimented.
After all, Zheng Shan had promised them that they wanted to borrow a sewing machine as they wished, but now they say something nice and don't want money.
Zhong Huixiu was so flattered, and the smile on her face became more intense.
"Oh, what kind of blessings are you enjoying? I'm so worried. Look, this prodigal son knows how to spend money, and how much money he has is not enough for him." Although he was happy in his heart, Zhong Huixiu was still very polite.
Soon my sister-in-law also came over, with a smile on her face. Although this is Zheng Shan's, she can be considered to understand Zheng Shan's temper now.
At that time, I want to use only one sentence, so Lin Meihua naturally smiles more.
With my mother and sister-in-law, the porter will naturally go back.
Fortunately, Zheng Shan gave the money before, otherwise, at this time, my mother would feel distressed when she saw that Zheng Shan spent 50 cents to ask someone to move things.
After chatting with the people in the compound for a while, Zhong Huixiu hurriedly moved the things to her house.
Originally, my mother was going to put it in Zheng Shan's house. After all, this is Zheng Shan's thing. Zhong Huixiu still needs to distinguish these things clearly, so that the eldest daughter-in-law does not have other thoughts in the end.
But Zheng Shan was unwilling, saying that the place was too small and inconvenient.
But there are so many things in my parents' room that I can't put them down at all. If I put a sewing machine, I would have to move the floor when I press the dining table.
The small utility room is even more reluctant to put it.
This small utility room was built privately, basically every house has one, which is very common in this era.
Some people even built a house. For this reason, quarrels and fights are normal things.
In the end, the sewing machine was placed in the boss's room, which made Lin Meihua even more happy and almost laughed.
That night, some people came to borrow sewing machines.
It was not until nine o'clock that the talents dispersed, which made my sister-in-law both happy and distressed.
..........
"Mom, didn't you agree to eat meat once every five days? How many days has it been?" Zheng Shan said with a bitter face.
It has been a week since Zhong Huixiu announced the meat restriction last time, and their family has not eaten any meat.
Not only Zheng Shan, but also the fourth and fifth are all staring at their mother. They dare not speak, but it does not prevent them from wanting to eat meat.
Even the eldest sister-in-law quietly looked at her mother-in-law's face. There was no way. She was really used to eating meat. Even if she didn't want to eat it, her stomach wanted to eat it.
Moreover, Lin Meihua also understands that the meat tickets are all provided by the third child, so when she eats meat, she is not as distressed as before.
Mom said angrily: "Do you know that the price of meat has gone up again? You still eat meat, and you won't be able to eat in two days. What should I do?"
Zheng Shan doesn't care about this, "Mom, you see that your son is hungry and thin, so let's buy some meat."
