Xu Nannan didn't know what Xu Hong was thinking, but now she couldn't care less about what the rest of the Xu family thought. This time she went to the city, besides solving her own affairs, she had other important things to do.
After lunch, Xu Nannan went to Li Jing to ask for clothes.
Li Jing was sulking in the kitchen. She steamed ten meat buns and planned to save two for the children to satisfy their hunger at night, but they were all eaten by noon. And it was eaten up by these dead girls. Her man, Xu Jiansheng, didn't even eat it.
"Mom, give me a change of clothes. It's inconvenient to wear my clothes outside." Xu Nannan didn't have any good clothes. After entering the city, he deliberately soiled his clothes, so the clothes looked torn and dirty.
Li Jing almost laughed angrily, "You still ask me for clothes, and I owe you this, you have to eat and wear when you come?"
Xu Nannan looked at her expressionlessly, then turned and left.
"Why are you going?" Before she finished scolding, the child wanted to leave, but it was the opposite!
Li Jing looked at Xu Nannan angrily, and Xu Nannan looked back at her, "Didn't you not give me clothes? I'll find my dad to go."
When she heard that Xu Nannan was going to the mine again, Li Jing's head got bigger.
Now she wished that the people in the mine would forget about it sooner, this damned girl was always going to hang out in the mine, she was trying to make her feel better.
In Li Jing's heart, face and identity are more important than anything else. Xu Nannan always going to the mine to make trouble like this will definitely affect Xu Jiansheng's career and make people laugh at the couple. It was like stabbing her in the heart with a knife.
If this was the past, she would definitely teach this girl a lesson. It's a pity that this girl doesn't know what happened now, but she suddenly changed. She couldn't help it anymore. Back then, she only had to smile at the girl, and the girl would be happy for a long time. As long as she keeps a straight face, the girl won't even dare to take a breath.
"What do you want clothes for? I'll go back tomorrow. Don't you have clothes at home?" Li Jing gritted her teeth.
"What did you say, Xiaoman and I share the same clothes, and if we get wet one day, we have to lie naked in bed. I don't mean to compare with Honghong and the others, but they can't be like the landlord's family." Miss, we are maids serving Miss."
The latter sentence was like a knife, stabbing Li Jing's heart to the point of bleeding. She was the maid of the landlord's family back then, and she was dedicated to serving the young lady of the landlord's family. She didn't believe that her daughter didn't know about it, and now she said it was obviously a slap in the face.
"you you… "
Li Jing was so angry that she wanted to find a broom to beat her.
Xu Nannan said, "I'm going to the mine now."
Li Jing then stopped and gritted her teeth to look at her. After watching for a long time, I stomped my feet resentfully and went into the room.
Looking at her back in a hurry, Xu Nannan's mouth was crooked, and there was a bit of satisfaction in his eyes. She also knew Li Jing's weakness. This woman really values face and reputation more than anything else.
Others want to save face and suffer. She doesn't think it's suffering, but she is complacent.
After a while, Li Jing took out a red plaid jacket and came out. "This is your red sister's clothes,"
Taking out the clothes, Li Jing still felt a little pained. Xu Hong is a beautiful and clever girl, and she is also better at dressing up than Xu Meizi. Li Jing is also quite happy to dress her up beautifully, and it will save face when she goes out, so Xu Hong also makes a lot of clothes. Xu Meizi is younger than Xu Hong, so as long as Xu Hong's clothes can no longer be worn, Xu Meizi can still wear them.
She was planning to wear this dress for Xu Meizi, but now she has to wear it for this damn girl. What a waste of stuff. Don't even look at what she looks like.
Xu Nannan didn't care about the old clothes anymore, it was too late to make new ones now, and she didn't mean to embarrass Li Jing because of the clothes, but she really wanted to go out to do errands. So I didn't argue with Li Jing, and took the clothes and replaced the old clothes on my body. Then I combed two smooth braids.
Li Jing found that after dressing up, her daughter was actually quite handsome. Pretty much the same as when she was younger.
But at this age, she was still working as a maid in the landlord's house.
Li Jing felt uncomfortable again. After humming twice, he went into the house.
Xu Nannan didn't have time to care about her mood, so he called Xu Xiaoman over and told her not to run around and go out to do some errands by herself. Xu Xiaoman nodded obediently, "Sister, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. But sister, do you know the way and why are you going out?"
"Have you never been in the city before? Go out and have a look. You are still young, so don't go out. I will be back before dinner." Xu Nannan patted her head.
In this family, she is only such a relative.
After making arrangements for Xu Xiaoman, Xu Nannan went out directly.
Xu Jiansheng's family lives in the staff housing arranged by the mine, which is close to the mine and far from the urban area. But the county seat at this time is really not that big. When Xu Nannan came from the station, he had already written down the way, and this time he was familiar with the way there.
The county where Xu Nannan lives is called Nanjiang County, but because there is an iron mine here, which drives the development of the area, there are still a lot of workers. Along the way, she met many workers in mine overalls.
After walking for more than half an hour, we arrived at the center of the county seat.
At this time, there were no private businesses, and the streets were not very lively. Some restaurants passing by were also state-owned, and there were not many people eating there. There are quite a few people in the supply and marketing cooperative, picking things there. There were also whispers to the staff at the counter. The person at the counter secretly took out some products that were not easy to buy from the counter.
Look, you have to rely on connections to buy anything these days.
Xu Nannan remembered a TV series he watched before. The hero bought a pair of liberation shoes for his father-in-law and had to ask his friend who worked in the supply and marketing cooperative for help. Said it was hard to buy.
At that time, she thought it was too exaggerated, but now that she is on the scene, she realizes that reality is even more exaggerated than art.
Xu Nannan's purpose this time is to come here to see the situation of the county and understand the situation of this era. In addition, I also want to take the opportunity to make money.
After all, she can't buy things on Taobao secretly every time. No matter how she chooses products, those products are difficult to buy, and they don't even exist in this era. Once or twice, others will not think of it. If there are too many, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no surprises. So she thinks the safest way is to use the currency of this era to buy things in this era.
And without money, she has no sense of security. Just like going to the city this time, if she didn't have the money from Xu Gensheng, she wouldn't even have the travel expenses.
The only way she can make money now is to dump things.
It is definitely not acceptable to be upright and upright. In this day and age, the control is still very strong.
Xu Nannan thought about it, and found a place where no one was around, and bought two cans of milk powder in glass bottles from Taobao. After tearing off the wrapping paper on the bag, he put it in a cloth bag and walked to the hospital.
After walking around the hospital twice, Xu Nannan finally locked onto an old man who came out of the ward.
She had just watched the old man for a while, seeing that he had been taking care of an old lady, and there was a jar of rice noodles on the table, which seemed to be a tonic.
At this time, those who can live in a single ward will not be too bad. They can also afford rice noodles, and their purchasing power should be enough.
Xu Nannan immediately decided to find this man to test the waters. After the old man walked out of the ward, she followed behind, "Grandpa, please wait a moment."
Hearing the voice, the old man in front looked back suspiciously, saw that it was a little girl, and asked, "Little girl, what's the matter?"
With a nervous expression on Xu Nannan's face, he whispered, "Grandpa, do you want to buy milk powder? It's very nutritious."
Xu Nannan had been looking at the old man, so he clearly caught the light in the old man's eyes.
The old man lowered his head and asked, "Little girl, do you know where I can buy it?"
Then he looked around and found someone passing by, so he quickly dragged Xu Nannan into the ward.
The old man on the hospital bed sat up in surprise when he saw that his wife who was going home to cook came back after going out for a while, and came in with a little girl.
The old man hurried to let her lie down, "Don't move around." He immediately turned to look at Xu Nannan, "Little girl, do you know where there is milk powder?"
It's not that the old man is exaggerating, it's that this thing is too difficult to buy. There is no sale in the county town at all, and it is difficult to buy even in the provincial capital. His wife has been hospitalized, and there is no nutritional supplement, he is really anxious.
Xu Nannan didn't expect the old man to be so impatient, and he immediately knew there was a way out. He took out milk powder from the cloth bag, "My dad is a worker. He went on a business trip to a big city a while ago and bought me milk powder to nourish my body. I knew it was good, but I was reluctant to eat it, so I wanted to exchange it for some money to make life easier at home. point."
After saying this, Xu Nannan almost felt sick. He was able to open his eyes and talk nonsense and call Xu Jiansheng a twenty-four filial father.
Whether Xu Nannan believed it or not, the other party did.
"You child is really sensible. I shouldn't let you disappoint your family's love for you, but I really need this. Otherwise, if there is a chance in the future, I will spare you some good things .”
The old man still feels a little guilty about buying things that other people's parents bought for their children to replenish their health. He has also been a father before, and knows how parents love their children.
Xu Nannan nodded immediately, "Grandpa, it's really nothing. My father often travels on business. In the future, when the family lives well, I'll just ask him to buy it for me. But grandpa, how much do you pay for this milk powder?" She is now I don't want to talk about love, I just want to talk about money, grandpa.
The old man smiled awkwardly, "I'm so confused, I haven't talked about it yet. How about I give you six yuan for a can of milk powder? I want two cans."
The old lady on the bed said, "Just buy a can."
"It's okay, let's keep it and eat slowly, it's not easy to buy usually."
Xu Nannan did some calculations in his head. The wages of ordinary workers are more than 30 yuan. According to the price, six yuan can buy dozens of catties of fine grains. If they buy coarse grains, they can buy dozens of catties of larger grains.
So even if the milk powder bought for tens of dollars was resold for six dollars, Xu Nannan still made a profit.
"Grandpa, do you have a ticket? Both food stamps and industrial tickets are fine."
"Yes." Seeing that Xu Nannan agreed, the old man smiled and took out a stack of tickets from his pocket. According to the prices at this time, Xu Nannan took 20 catties of food stamps, and the rest took industrial stamps.
You can secretly buy food from Taobao, mainly because you need to buy things in your life in the future, and you need to use these tickets.
Holding twelve yuan and a stack of tickets, Xu Nannan happily left the ward. Before leaving, the old man left her an address so that if she still had these things in the future, she could go to him.
It was only then that Xu Nannan found out that the old man's name was Wang Donglai. Is a unit of retired workers.
After Xu Nannan left, the old lady said, "You know how to spend money indiscriminately, what a waste to buy these things."
Wang Donglai smiled and poured hot water for her to make milk powder, "What a waste, there are only two of us in the house now, what are we going to do with the money if we don't spend it. Nothing is more important than your body. Wife, take good care of your body and live longer." Years. Don’t leave me alone in this world.”
When the old lady heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
After Xu Nannan left the hospital, he didn't go back immediately, but walked around the county for a while. Although the county seat at this time was not as beautiful and prosperous as the later cities, compared with Xujia Village, it was like heaven and earth. No wonder people want to run to the city at this time.
Alas, she also wanted to run to the city. Unfortunately, there is no chance now. As for relying on Xu Jiansheng and his wife to go back to the city, forget about it. Not to mention the difficulties, she didn't want to live with Xu Jiansheng and his wife.
Xu Nannan went to some state-owned enterprises to ask about the recruitment situation.
At this time, the main job recruitment is to recruit workers with urban hukou, and it also depends on their education background. Don't think that you don't care about your academic qualifications at this time. If you want to be a clerical worker, you must be a middle school student at the very least. High school students should be more on the safe side. When college students come in, they are definitely cadres. As for apprentices, you can also consider those who don't have much education, but this is basically done by the children of workers. As long as the unit has this opportunity, it is basically possible for twelve or thirteen-year-olds to start working. Of course, for some special types of work, such as technical jobs, if you have the ability, you can also relax the conditions appropriately and pass the assessment to enter the unit. If you have a rural household registration, you can also transfer your household registration to the unit.
However, it is basically impossible for Xu Nannan to be imprisoned because he has no strength, no education, and he is still a rural registered permanent residence.
On the way home, Xu Nannan felt more and more frustrated as he thought about it, and wished to shout out, it was difficult to enter the city, and it was difficult to go to the blue sky!
