Pamper Eighties

Although it was Tuesday, there were still a lot of people on the street. The two families followed the crowd and walked forward, unconsciously reaching the gate of Yu Garden.

Seeing that they all bought tickets to go in, the Feng family and Zhang family also painted gourds and walked into the garden with great interest.

They were quickly stunned by the elegant scenery. Good guy, the classical houses, the beautiful flowers and trees, and the rugged rockery and rocks all made them feel shocked when they saw Jiangnan Garden for the first time.

Madam Feng looked around and said with emotion, "Tsk tsk tsk, this is where people live. Look at this big yard, it's really stylish, people in ancient times really enjoyed it."

Old man Feng also felt the same way and said: "You have to be a high official to live in a garden like this. This is not a place for ordinary people to live."

The old man Zhang's tone was quite big, and he said boldly: "What's the matter, if we want to, we can build a garden like this in the village."

A local tourist passed by and heard him say this. He laughed in front of his friends and said, "Where are you from, Yuyuan Garden was built by them? It's really a big laugh."

Old Man Zhang also heard it. He was a little embarrassed and wanted to refute, but the man had already gone far, so he had to touch his nose embarrassingly and said, "I don't know, I can really build a place as big as our village. "

Zhang Guangming endured a smile and said, "Dad, what are you doing with them, they don't know that we have money, so we don't have to be sullen, come and come, I'll take pictures for you."

He raised the camera and let the two families stand in front of the rockery, and took several pictures in succession, and also asked the tourists next to them to take pictures of their family.

Mengmeng has sharp eyes. She noticed that a female tourist was holding a beautiful umbrella in her hand, so she ran over and asked, "Sister, what kind of umbrella is this? It matches you well."

The female tourist was very happy to be amused by her. Seeing Mengmeng was cute, she was happy to point her: "This is an oil-paper umbrella, and there is a small stall over there that sells it for two yuan, so don't sell it expensive. already."

Mengmeng looked in the direction she said, and sure enough she saw an old grandfather setting up a stall. The business was good. Many tourists were waiting to buy. She hadn't opened her mouth yet. The brother said very cleverly: "Sister, wait for me here, I will buy it for you."

"Wait for me, I'm going too." Mengmeng chased after them, and the two of them crowded in front of the booth in three or two due to their small size, staring at those beautiful oil-paper umbrellas with wide eyes.

The old man who sold the umbrella thought these two little dolls were interesting. He didn't go to entertain other guests. Instead, he pointed at Mengmeng and said, "Little Nannan, which one do you like?"

"Well... this." Mengmeng blinked her big smart eyes, and her little hand pointed to one of the umbrellas. There were a few pink peach blossoms painted on the umbrella, which looked very beautiful.

The old man smiled and nodded and said, "Peach blossom umbrella, good eyesight, here, I'll charge you two dollars."

Brother Rui took out the money from his pocket, paid it directly, and then squeezed out the crowd with Mengmeng. Mengmeng was greedy for freshness and only cared about admiring the oil-paper umbrella that she just got. Brother Rui was worried that she would fall while walking, She also took her small hand uneasy, and carefully separated the crowd.

These two little dolls are tall and short, and they are both very good-looking. Mengmeng is also holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and they look so cute that tourists who pass by them can't help but say: "Oh, , These two brothers and sisters have a really good relationship."

Feng Yimin was about to come out to look for his daughter, and suddenly heard this sentence, his eyes puffed up with anger, brother and sister, that stinky boy has nothing to do with their Mengmeng family, and dared to hold his daughter's hand in broad daylight.

Feng Yimin's eyes were like knives, and he stabbed them straight into their clasped hands. He was about to scold Brother Rui, but Brother Rui took a step ahead of him and let go of Mengmeng's hand. The chicken thief said: "Uncle Feng, you are here. I took my sister to buy an oil-paper umbrella. I was just going back."

Facing Brother Rui's smiling face, Feng Yimin felt sullen in his heart, and he couldn't scold him any more, so he could only wave to his daughter and say, "Mengmeng, come to Daddy, Daddy will take you to the play."

The place to listen to the play is just opposite the rockery. There is a large pavilion in the middle of the pool. There are two young beauties in cheongsam sitting in it, singing a little song, Mengmeng and the tourists, just stand Listen to them singing in the corridor on the other side.

Feng Yimin's hands were not idle either. He was holding the camera, constantly changing the angle, and taking pictures of his daughter. While clicking the shutter, he thought to himself, such a beautiful and lovely daughter in his family, he must be optimistic. Sigh, I am so worried about his old father.

On the way, he was the only one who had a lot of thoughts, and the others enjoyed the stroll. They were amazed at the scenery in Yu Garden, which greatly opened their eyes.

I finally got out of the garden. It turned out that there was a water corridor outside, and all around it were small classical buildings.

They strolled along the corridor and found that those small buildings were all shops, and they sold everything, but most of them still sold food. Fireworks.

They were tired after running all morning. They couldn’t walk after smelling all kinds of fragrances. They sat down in a larger storefront and put the food in their hands on the table, full of food.

Pan-fried steamed buns, xiao long bao, scallion pancakes, salted bean curd, and small wontons, scallion noodles, fried tofu vermicelli soup, etc. Some of the snacks look strange, and they don't all know them.

With so much to eat, the children's stomachs were so hungry that they croaked wildly. They tasted everything and found that they were both salty and sweet, but they were still more salty, and the taste was not bad.

Su Wan took a cage of soup dumplings, such a big bamboo cage, and there was a soup dumpling in it. The skin of the dumpling was very, very thin, and it was shaking tremblingly. Go up and **** the soup inside, um, it tastes quite good, one word, fresh, two words, very fresh.

She immediately recommended to everyone: "That xiaolongbao is already delicious, I didn't expect this soup dumpling to be even better than it, it's full of fresh and thick soup, I'll give you a few baskets to taste. ."

Paotang quickly brought soup dumplings. They, adults and dolls, had tried it, and they all gave thumbs up and said it was delicious.

Madam Feng was also curious to study the thin steamed bun skin, and she said with great concern, "The skin on the outside is so thin, how did he pour the soup into it?"

Others don’t understand this question, so old man Feng didn’t put his mind here, he just commented: “I thought Shanghai people only put sugar in their food, but today it’s finally normal, it seems that they eat snacks. Still have to go outside."

The two families finished their meal with a full meal and strolled around the neighborhood. In addition to the restaurants selling snacks, there were also many shops selling specialty products and handicrafts. When they walked out of the street, they were already carrying Several bags.

Mengmeng didn't hold anything in her hand. She looked around curiously, suddenly grabbed the hem of her father's clothes, pointed to the shop across the street and said, "Look, Dad, gold is being sold there."

It was a three-story storefront, and there was an old Fengxiang Gold store, which seemed to be very strong, and the light pestle could attract the attention of many tourists there.

When the women of the two families saw this gold shop, they immediately became interested, pulled up the little doll and said, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

The salespeople in that store have very poisonous eyes. They like people who bring their families along the most. It is often this kind of family that is most likely to buy the jewelry in their store.

The few salesmen standing at the door rushed to greet them and said, "Welcome, you can try on any style you like, and feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Madam Feng looked at the group of enthusiastic salesmen and picked the most pleasing one and said, "Just you, I want to buy some gold for my doll. Do you have any recommended styles?"

She was talking about the doll, but she pushed Mengmeng up in her hand, and the salesman knew that she wanted to buy something for her granddaughter, and immediately said enthusiastically: "Yes, please come here to see, these are all It's jewelry suitable for children."

This store is very large, and the display case for jewelry is also very large. The shiny gold in it, against the background of the lights, exudes a golden light, almost blinding Mrs. Feng and the others. , I can't even see it, let alone choose it.

Mengmeng still liked a piece of jewelry herself. It was a hollow butterfly pendant. It was only the size of a fingernail, but the workmanship was very delicate. She fell in love with it at a glance, and smiled sweetly with two small dimples: "Sister, Can you show me that butterfly?"

The salesperson was moved by Mengmeng's smile. She only thought that the little girl in front of her could be so cute. She wanted to take out her heart and say to her: "Of course, my sister will take it out for you and try to wear it."

Mengmeng's vision is quite good, the butterfly is not only exquisite in workmanship, but also moves its wings on both sides, and there are a few strings of thin tassels hanging from it. Although the style is small, the workmanship is not simple.

"Grandma, what do you think?" Mengmeng touched her neck, looked in the mirror, and looked at her grandma shyly.

The old lady Feng praised without saying: "It's beautiful, it's so beautiful, let's put on this butterfly, just like the flower fairy in the spring, only this butterfly can match you, not bad."

The old lady Zhang also agreed and said: "Yes, this butterfly is really suitable for us Mengmeng, and I have never seen this workmanship, but it is so delicate, our provincial capital should not have this craftsmanship."

The salesman put on a proud expression and took the opportunity to introduce: "This is our Lao Fengxiang's traditional craftsmanship. Don't look at how small this pendant is, it is actually made of gold and drawn into silk, piece by piece, which can test the masters' skills. craftsmanship."

Madam Feng was very satisfied, and without asking the price, she said, "That's fine, you can wrap this pendant for me, and I'll see if there are any others."

The salesperson was overjoyed. The price of the pendant was definitely not low. The family decided to buy it without blinking. It seemed that she had met a high-profile customer today, so she hurriedly recommended it: "Just look, we There are also gold bracelets suitable for children, so round and cute, very suitable for your granddaughter, do you want to give her a try?"

Mengmeng hid her hands behind her, shook her head and said, "No, all these Mengmeng are there, grandma, you can buy it for yourself."

"Me?" Madam Feng pointed at herself, feeling very relieved, but she shied away and said, "I'm already an old man, what else should I buy?"

Mengmeng pounced on her thigh and said, "Grandma, you are not old, so you should dress up well and be as beautiful as Mengmeng."

Mrs. Feng's mouth was already open to laughter, and even his old man persuaded her to say: "Yes, old lady, our family is not short of that few money, what do you fancy, I will buy it for you, feel free to choose. "

Now, Mrs. Feng can be said to be laughing at Yahuazi, covering her mouth and saying, "I really can't stand you guys. If you have a few money, you will be foolish, so I'll just take a look."

The other three men were also very acquainted, so they patted their chests and let their daughters-in-law choose whatever they wanted. There was no one else's boldness. As a result, the women of both families bought a lot of new jewelry, necklaces and earrings. , bracelets, and rings, which made the salesman gasp in surprise.

When checking out, Mrs. Zhang fondly touched her ring and said, "Shanghai is great. Such a large area is full of shops, so it's convenient to buy anything."

The sales clerk settled the bills numbly, and said in agreement, "Yes, old lady, all the shops around here are newly opened. If you go to the back, you can still see some new shops that haven't been rented out. Wow, this is the place to be. The most prosperous place in Shanghai.”

"How do you know?" Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows and looked at her, thinking she was overblown. Shanghai is so big, how can this salesperson be so sure.

The salesman smiled and said, "You are from other places, right? Anyone from Shanghai knows this news. Our Yuyuan shopping mall was originally invested by the government, including our shops, which are also rented from the government. I heard it immediately. The stock is going to be issued, and it can still be listed. With the government as the backing, this business must be easy to do.”

stock? Old man Feng was moved, and he quickly asked, "Do you still sell stocks in this mall? Where can you buy them?"

The salesperson said with some embarrassment: "I don't know very well. It has just been built not long ago. I just heard everyone's rumors. No one knows when. I also heard from others."

The two families looked at each other and stopped talking. When they walked out the door, Yang Xiaojuan said excitedly, "The business of this mall is very good, and we have all seen it. If there are real stocks for sale, I will Look at this stock to buy."

Su Wan looked at the crowded scene on the street in front of her, she couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, where there are many people, there will be money, so many people come to play, and you need to spend money on everything. , this stock is hard to imagine.”

Feng Yimin also thought this was the truth, and said to Old Man Feng in a puzzled way, "Dad, didn't we just come out of the bank, why didn't we hear them say we have this stock?"

"I don't know," Old Man Feng was very sensitive about making money, so he decided to say in an instant, "Let's go back and find out."

The two families were in no mood to continue shopping. They walked to the intersection and called for a taxi, and hurried to the bank. They looked anxious when they were seen by Xiao Chen, who happened to be standing in the lobby, and he immediately became worried.

It's not that they regretted buying the stock. They ran back to him to get the money back. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen was so frightened that his calf was shaking. He forced a smile and said, "You guys are back, do you need anything else?"

The old man Feng didn't pretend to be with him, and asked directly, "Xiao Chen, do you have any Yuyuan Garden here? Oh yes, Yuyuan Mall, do you have any shares of Yuyuan Mall?"

Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "This stock has not yet been listed, and it is still in the preparatory stage. I heard that it will be soon. I heard from our director a few days ago that they have already submitted the listing application. , this is a big project in the city, it should be passed soon, it may be available in a few months, no more than a year at the latest.”

He was keenly aware of the customer's needs, and said very cleverly: "Mr. Feng, if you want to buy, I can help you pay attention at any time, and I will write to you as soon as the stock of Yuyuan Mall is issued."

"What letter are you writing? It's all on the phone now."

Old Man Feng buried Xiao Chen, walked to the counter on his own, picked up a pen and paper to write down the number, handed it to Xiao Chen and said, "I'll leave you a phone number, you can call me when the time comes. Phone, here is my pager number, if you have any news, just call me anytime."

Xiao Chen was a little shocked. He didn't expect Mr. Feng to even be equipped with a pager, but as long as he thinks that he has so much money, it doesn't seem strange. So rich.

He respectfully put away the note, and wrote a note to them, saying, "Mr. Feng, this is the phone number of our business office. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time. I call."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Old Man Feng patted his shoulder.

Xiao Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You are too polite. I wish you would contact me often. You brought me such a big list, and our director praised me just now."

Old man Feng stared at his still somewhat immature face, thinking in his heart that if they went back, they would not be able to learn about the Shanghai market in time, so he dragged Xiao Chen to the side.

Old Man Feng grabbed Xiao Chen's shoulders, laughed like a big bad wolf, and said, "Xiao Chen, you work hard, I'm very optimistic about you, for a young man like you, if your director doesn't promote who you promote, I'm the first. The first time I saw you, I thought you could be trusted, but you didn’t disappoint me, we will go back to our hometown soon, if there is any news from Shanghai, you can call me anytime.”

At the end, the old man Feng raised his voice and said, "I will buy stocks from you in the future, don't worry."

The surprise came too quickly, Xiao Chen was so happy that he kept smirking and sent off the big clients in a daze. Seeing that his colleagues were all looking at him with envy, jealousy and hatred, he laughed very proudly in his heart. , I didn't expect that Xiao Chen would have such a day. To make them envious, he had to go to the director to ask for credit.

After the Feng family and Zhang family finished the matter, the burden in their hearts was finally relieved, and then they wandered around Shanghai, visiting attractions such as the Bund, museums and zoos.

For them, what attracts them most in Shanghai is not the sights, but the most ordinary streets, where there are many high-rise buildings and countless foreign buildings, including the Shanghainese living here, It's all sassy.

After these days of sightseeing, Mrs. Feng said she was very envious: "Shanghai people live a very good life, they have beautiful houses, they can take the bus when they go out, and it is very convenient to go wherever they want. There are all kinds of things for sale, you can buy everything from all over the world, have you seen it, the four most coveted items in the past are all made in Shanghai, how can Shanghai be so good?"

Madam Zhang pouted and said jealously, "God favors the people of Shanghai. People here are born with a good life. Living in this big city is convenient for everything. We don't know how many years it will take for our provincial capital to be able to get the job done. Catch up with other people in Shanghai."

The old man Zhang said with emotion: "Don't be sour, Shanghai, it must be the most prosperous place in China. How can our small place compare with others?"

Brother Rui finally waited for the opportunity, took the opportunity to interject and said, "Grandpa, Shanghai is so good, we can buy a house here. With a house, we can come and live often."

The old man patted his head and said, "You little baby, Shanghai is good, but after all, this is not our own home. We bought a house and vacated it there, and we have no energy to manage it. When will you be evacuated by others? I don't know how easy it is."
