151. New year's Goods
After tidying up their respective small warehouses, the east began to turn white, and the sky gradually became brighter.
Xia Yuan suggested to the other three: "Today is Sunday, eldest sister and the others won't come. In two days, you should be busy selling the vegetables you saved from the summer, why don't we go shopping while we still have some free time today. Department store. I haven't prepared the New Year's goods yet."
"Buying New Year's goods? I have everything in my big warehouse. Mom, you can make a list and I'll just take it out."
Lu Yun really doesn't like visiting department stores. interest. She had been dragged by her mother twice before, and she refused to go again after that. First, she feels that the things in the department store today are far less abundant than in her space. The second is that the attitude of the salesperson there is not good at all. When you go shopping, you feel like you owe them something. She couldn't pick and choose, and she saw with her own eyes that someone asked a few more questions and was ridiculed by the salesperson.
"There are indeed a lot of things in your big warehouse, but those clothes and fabrics are not suitable for taking out. This year, our family made money, and it was also the result of each family's help. So I thought that this year's work would be given to each family in my hometown. The family's New Year's ceremony can be prepared more heavily. If the elder sister, elder brother-in-law, Wu Tan, Lin Weisheng, and Zhang Ming come to help, in addition to the salary we agreed to pay for three months, the New Year's goods cannot be left behind. Anyway, we have a truck to go back, and no matter how much things we have, we won't be able to take them with us."
Xia Yuan snapped her fingers in the same way, "My sister came over that day and accidentally mentioned that many people in Haicheng will buy a semiconductor radio to go back to them. There are many people in the factory and my brother-in-law's factory who have bought them.
I just want to buy one for my uncle and ... my parents. Take it back and it can relieve their boredom. , people in the village will feel that we have made money and have not forgotten our roots.
There are also a few people in the uncle's family, there are nine people connected to the children; second, at the parents' place, Aibing and Zhang Cai; the elder sister's family of three plus her parents-in-law has a total of five people; the second sister's family of four plus her husband has a total of five people Five, I thought that instead of trying my best not to know what to buy for each of them, it would be better to buy a new dress for each of them, and look at the New Year's Day. So there are twenty-three people here alone, and there are a lot of clothes to buy.
The eldest and second sisters all came to help us, and their parents-in-law also contributed, so bring them a new dress, and they will feel happier when they see it. Xia Yuan did not explain why she wanted to buy new clothes for Lu Aijiao's in-laws and Lu Aimei's father-in-law. As for Lu Aimei's mother-in-law, didn't they all break up, she naturally ignored them.
"Except for them ." , and the four of us, my sister, brother-in-law, Gu Feng and Gu Meng can't be left behind. You see, there are eight more people in here. This doesn't even include buying food, but all the food can be taken from Xiaoyun's large warehouse. But just from what I said, I am afraid that today we will all have to ride out and carry them back. "

What about the clothes of thirty-one people?" If one set is at least sixty-two. Lu Yun was dumbfounded and made a faint motion, directly amusing Xia Yuan, Lu Aiguo and Shi Shi, "Mom, are you really sure you want to buy so many clothes in one go?" Do we have enough cloth tickets? "
Enough, before when your father and Shitou went out to sell things, they collected a lot of cloth tickets. Later, I specially asked your aunt and the people in their factory to exchange a lot of other tickets." I have calculated it all. Xia Yuan was very proud. As early as the summer, she planned to bring back a new set of clothes for everyone in each family this year, and she would definitely earn face for Lu Aiguo.
Thinking of Lu Aiguo's face, she thought of Shishi, "By the way, we also have to bring new clothes for your uncle, aunt, cousin, and two cousins, so that the New Year's ceremony can't be missed. You have been out for so long, no matter how they treated you before, we have to do the etiquette that we should do on the face. These things don't cost much, but it's worth using them to buy a good name. "
As for Xie Jiang, Lu Aijiao, Wu Tan, Lin Weisheng and Zhang Ming, they all know that their capital came from the ginseng dug by Shishi. Lu Aiguo has already told them all about it, but he can't say it, lest Shishi's aunt and uncle come over entanglement.
"No, they won't be content."
Stone refused indifferently. He has seen through people like his uncle and aunt for a long time, whether they give them something or not, they will not be satisfied. If you don't give it to them, they will come to entangle.
If you give it to them, they will despise you for giving too little, and feel that they can take more advantage.
Several people present actually understand this truth. Xia Yuan looked at Shi Shi with a bit of distress in her eyes.
"I know. But if we give it first, we give it back with great fanfare. Everyone has eyes, and they will make trouble again, and the people in the village will say they are too dissatisfied.
Instead, wait for them to come. Let's not talk about the New Year's Eve. People in the village will always be jealous of those who made money, and in turn sympathize with them, thinking that we are not authentic. Do you think this is the truth?"
"I listen to my sister-in-law. "
Stone nods dispensably. Xia Yuan can do what she thinks is good, anyway, they are not short of money at all now.
Lu Yun snickered while hiding.
If mom wants to show off, show it off. Exactly, it would be even better if the old witch of the Su family and the bunch of top-quality goods could be pissed off by the way. That's the real solution to the people, hahaha...
"Then let's go together and eat outside by the way." Lu Yun changed her lack of interest before, and began to look forward to it.
"Okay, I will go out on a bike then, except for the clothes, I will buy a few thermos bottles and take them back to the factory for use. Some time ago, I went back and found that there were no thermos in the factory. At noon, let's go to the public restaurant to eat mutton." Lu Aiguo was also very interested.

"Why don't you say that there is no hot water bottle at the factory? If you forget it, won't it take longer to make up for it?" Xia Yuan couldn't help but look at Lu Aiguo with anger all day.
"Didn't I forget it? I remembered it when I talked about buying New Year's goods." Lu Aiguo scratched his head and smiled at his daughter-in-law.
"I'm going to cook rice and vegetables, and we'll leave as soon as we finish eating. What do you want to eat today?" Xia Yuan didn't want to hold on, she turned and went into the house, asking as she walked.
"Fried eggs, only the one-side one. Anything else is optional." Lu Yun called out first.
"Me too." Stone agreed casually.
"I can do anything, as long as my wife cooks it, I like it. My wife, I'll accompany you to the kitchen." Lu Aiguo took a step to catch up as if he had wiped his mouth with honey.
152. Persuasion
After breakfast, Lu Aiguo rode a tricycle with a few people directly towards the No. 1 Department Store on Shun'an Street.
There is a delivery car at the door of the first department store. However, others only charge three cents for sending a bicycle, and their three-wheeled bicycle was charged a cent by the aunt who was charging.
The big shopping was even crazier than Lu Yun imagined, and the first department store was crowded with people who came to buy New Year's goods.
Everyone usually has to go to work. It is rare to meet a Sunday, and it will be New Year's Day in less than half a month. Now is the time to buy New Year's goods. So the shopping atmosphere in the first department store is really good.
In the morning, after the mental strength reached the standard for using the space stone, Lu Yun returned all the belongings to Xia Yuan for safekeeping. A few people had paid dividends based on their shares before, but Xia Yuan and Lu Aiguo received a lot of dividends. They didn't deposit them in the bank, but threw the cash directly into Lu Yun's space.
There is enough cash on the body, the surrounding shopping atmosphere is good, and women's nature likes to buy and buy. So before I knew it, in addition to two semiconductor radios, five or six hot water bottles could be purchased as planned.
When shopping for new clothes and trousers, it was crowded, so Xia Yuan didn't even bother to think carefully about what size clothes and trousers to buy for whom, how many sets for adults, how many sets for children, and how many. ? Anyway, in the end, it turned out to be a move when she liked it. Lu Aiguo and Shitou were protecting her from left and right, and by the way, they helped her with things.
The two of them couldn't hold it until they couldn't hold it in their hands, so they carried them to the car outside, and Shi Shi or Lu Aiguo rode out, and then randomly found an alley with few people and went in, taking advantage of no one to put things away in the middle. Come out of an alley.
Two or three times over and over again. In the end, Xia Yuan didn't stop until there were no more cloth tickets left.
After buying the clothes, Xia Yuan took a few people to buy new shoes, each one pair of leather shoes, one pair of cotton shoes, and six pairs of cotton socks. Bought for four people. Xia Yuan asked Lu Aiguo, Lu Erbo and Lu Erbo Niang's foot length, and brought them a pair of cotton shoes, a pair of cloth shoes, and six pairs of cotton socks for each.
After these purchases, I bought the best "Zhonghua" and "Panda" cigarettes, Maotai, Wuliangye, Erguotou and these cigarettes and alcohol that do not require tickets.
The three floors of the No. 1 Department Store were swept by them without any omission. What was needed was not needed, and what could be used could not be used. Anyway, as long as Xia Yuan took a fancy to it, it didn't matter if there was any space in Lu Yun's space. After buying it...
let's go after one trip, even if I bought a lot, but it didn't cost much, not even a thousand yuan, so Xia Yuan still had a feeling of unfinished business, if it wasn't for the lack of cloth tickets, she I really want to buy some of those cotton and corduroy cloths.
Later, she went to the electric appliance counter and saw the TV inside. She was still talking to Lu Aiguo, "Why don't we buy a color TV for my parents to watch?
" When two TV tickets arrive, we will even buy one for our own home. I also buy a refrigerator, a washing machine, and an electric fan." Lu Aiguo readily responded, and Xia Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
The big purchases were so crazy that they just casually ate bowls of noodles at the noodle shop near the No. 1 Department Store at noon, and they went to the public restaurant to eat mutton soup after five o'clock. The mutton soup here really lives up to its reputation. Then add meatballs, vermicelli, shiitake mushrooms, frozen tofu, and a bowl of white rice for one person... If you haven't just eaten noodles at noon, in fact, it's more delicious to order noodles in the soup at this time.
All the food on the table was completely eaten, and the four of them all sighed with satisfaction.
"The food is so delicious. We will bring them here to eat before we go back for the Chinese New Year. Also, it will be the same when our parents have a chance to come to Haicheng. We also have to bring them here to eat."
Xia Yuan touched her stomach and couldn't help yawning. After she had eaten and drank enough, she began to feel a little sleepy, and she was sleepy as a pregnant woman. In addition, she didn't sleep all night last night, so buying so many things in the morning was also a physical task.
"Let's go back quickly."
Seeing that his wife was sleepy, Lu Aigui couldn't bear it, so he quickly suggested.
"I'll ride the bike." Shitou reached the door and unlocked the car. Shitou first carried Lu Yun into the car, and then rode directly onto the car.
Lu Aiguo nodded, grabbed Xia Yuan and carefully helped her into the car, then let her lean on him halfway. If he wasn't outside, he would have wanted to carry his wife directly into the car.
When they got home, Lu Aiguo took Xia Yuan into the house. Lu Yun waited for Shito to park the car before the two slowly followed behind.
"It's crazy to think that my mother would buy something. There are forty-two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers in total, fifteen for men and sixteen for women. Eleven for children; cardigan for men.. ....no matter whether it is the size of an adult or a child, you should buy the right one. The extra sizes and styles can be digested internally by the family and the grandma's family."
Lu Yun snapped her fingers and it was not bad at all. Count and laugh as you count.
Mental strength is really not for nothing. Even though my mother might have been dizzy with blood at the time and just bought it frantically, she was still able to buy all the items she wanted.
"That's right, isn't it?" Shishi glanced at her, in fact, he knew it too.
Lu Yun laughed hard, thinking that her mother was so energetic when she was shopping, and her body and mind were relaxed, she felt very happy too.
"Of course it's good, since my mother likes shopping so much, why don't we take some time to go to the magic capital next year after my mother gives birth to buy things. There must be more things there, and the style of clothes is far from what Haicheng can match. Yes ."
"I'm afraid I'll have to wait two years." Shitou was noncommittal. At that time, the child was still young, and Xia Yuan might not be willing to travel far.
"Haha." Lu Yun also thought about it and no longer bothered about this topic, and suddenly said, "If you don't want to go to the military academy directly, I always feel that when you enlist in the army like this, you will be slow from being a big soldier. It 's a pity to be slow."
"The military academy?" Shitou was stunned, not to mention that he hadn't really thought about it, "But can I take the college entrance examination even if I haven't been to school?"
Stone was tempted for a moment, but he quickly rejected it again, "Even if I can now, I can't let go of my family's affairs. When the factory in my hometown opens after the new year, Brother Aiguo and I will take turns to help. Sister-in-law's body I 'm sure I won't be able to continue working next year..."
"Don't you and Dad often talk about something: Can you do anything you really want to do as long as you think about it?" Lu Yun didn't answer Shishi's words.
"I didn't know anything about the army before, but I just read this book that day and found out that it turns out that if you are admitted to the military academy, you will get a military status when you get into the army, and the starting point of entering the army after graduation is different from directly joining the army. But it's too old."
"And the big head soldiers have to go to the military academy, and they can't apply until the second year. You can only join the army when you are eighteen years old, and then you will be nineteen years old. Even if you can successfully enter the military academy, How many years will you grow after graduation?"
Lu Yun took a deep breath, "You don't need to think about it, just how much the difference in the past few years will affect your future prospects... , is it still a matter of making money at home?"
153. Mess
"Let's think about it again." Shitou gave Lu Yun a complicated look. Even though she said it casually, she knew very well that he must have been reading those books specially, and she couldn't have seen it by accident.
"What else is there to think about? As soon as your father and mother know about it, they will definitely ask you to go to school and take the college entrance examination. People who don't have the brain know how to choose. You don't know that, right?"
Lu Yun deliberately ran on the stone. .

Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
