Since 1983

Xu Fei is not a virgin.

Oh, in a previous life...

He was only in his early thirties when he was reborn, his career had just entered the golden period, and he had a girlfriend who was in a stable relationship and was once talking about marriage. The girl is also an artist. She is dexterous and loves DIY. He learned things like bags and schoolbags by ear.

Xu Fei used to be a straight guy, he smoked and drank to burn his head, and he often yelled at his brothers philosophically, but he was trained to understand girls' minds.

At that time, Yi loses his temper. He usually finds some ugly gadgets on the Internet, and sends the link, "I bought this for you."

Regardless of whether the other party is really angry or fake, he will definitely reply, and he will give you considerable contempt for your taste, aesthetics, and random spending of money.

Then, naturally, the wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the rain smashed the plantains.

So Xu Fei realized a truth, when a girl is angry, don't tell her why. The more you break, the more chaotic, the more you fail, the best way is to find something to divert your attention.

Usually buying gifts and talking about something she cares about...

Knock on the blackboard and draw the key points!

Chen Xiaoxu was naturally coaxed by Xu Fei, and I don't know how she adjusted it herself, anyway, she quickly cheered up. Since then, the two still don't meet often, and each pretends to be an honest child.

In the twinkling of an eye, it is winter, and the weather turns cold quickly.

Northeast China in the 1980s was much colder than later generations. Xu Fei put on a sweater knitted by his mother, a heavy cotton jacket, a dog fur hat and handbags.

He has been serving those potted flowers recently, more attentively than serving his parents, and bought a few books to read.

They are all Clivia grandiflora, and the pots have been moved. There are four plants in total. There were several more leaves, and they became thicker and thicker, but only one plant had small flower buds, and it seemed that the flowering period was approaching.

Clivia is very delicate, afraid of cold and heat, so she put it on the window sill of the back room. He even bought a thermometer to make sure the temperature was right.

"Little Fei!"

"Little Fei!"

He was turning the flowerpot to make the sunlight even, Zhang Guiqin hurried into the yard, "Don't mess with your flowers, come with me to the mall."

"what?"

"Today is number 1."

"So what's the matter?"

"Go grab the cloth!"

When this incident was brought up, the usually gentle mother became a bit of a shrew, "It was supposed to open at nine o'clock, but I just went to Sister Liu's house and said it would open at eight thirty, ouch, hurry up!"

Xu Fei got a headache when he heard it, and persuaded him, "Mom, those cloths can't be sold out."

"Why can't it be sold out? Now that we don't accept cloth tickets, the supply is open, so those people won't be crazy about it?"

"Since the country dares to open up the supply, it means that the production is guaranteed. Why are you so anxious?"

"That's not okay, if there is no guarantee, you will be naked in the future!"

"But it's snowing outside... hey..."

Zhang Guiqin couldn't listen to this, so she dragged her son away.

Xu Fei had no choice but to drive his mother to the largest department store in Ancheng, braved the heavy snow.

When I went to the place, I was almost scared to death. The line was tens of meters long and went all the way to the street. The two hurried to occupy their seats, and after a while, they squeezed and flicked a tail behind them.

Those who lined up were full of eagerness, those who bought the fabric were overjoyed, and those who carried it on their shoulders were just like the whole family stud. From time to time, there are a few idlers who greet in a low voice: "The cloth ticket is received, the cloth ticket is received!"

All this stems from a notice a few days ago.

The Ministry of Commerce issued a notice announcing that starting from December 1 this year, cloth tickets and wadding tickets will be temporarily exempted nationwide, and that they will no longer be issued next year—this shows that the cloth tickets that have been implemented for 30 years are about to come to an end.

Due to the variability of policies in this era, some people believe it, some people don't believe it, but no matter what, grab it first and then talk.

This is probably a kind of instinct of some people. Do you remember the nuclear leak and grabbing salt? Go back and take a look, damn it, SARS has not finished eating yet!

"You are really my mother, I will accompany you out to suffer from the cold today..."

Xu Fei curled up like a sugar triangle, the snow kept falling, the north wind kept blowing, and his nose kept running.

They didn't know how long they waited in line before finally entering the gate. Zhang Guiqin's thin body exploded with great energy, and rushed to the counter, "Is there any more cloth?"

"Just white cloth, plaid and quilt left."

"Give me the same amount!"

Those in the back quit immediately and pushed forward one after another, "Why do you want so much?"

"You bought it all, shall we still buy it?"

"Comrade, don't give it to her... get out of the way, let me pass!"

Xu Fei stretched out his arms to block the crowd behind him, feeling like a little grasshopper being raped by an elephant, and hurriedly shouted: "Comrade, maintain order, it will be bad if there is a stampede!"

The salesman was right when he heard it, and shouted: "What are you doing? Line up, back up!"

The authority of the salesman in the state-run store was unique, and everyone was reluctant to back down. Immediately, the other party began to spread, measure, and cut.

Plaid cloth and quilt cloth are common people's names. The so-called quilt cloth is a big red cloth with flower and bird patterns printed on it. It is very festive and is usually bought for weddings.

A horse was thirty meters long, and each piece was cut to two feet. Zhang Guiqin took out a lot of money and paid without hesitation.

After finally getting out, Xu Fei tied three bundles of cloth to the car, and he held it in front, while Zhang Guiqin pushed behind. Braving the heavy snow, the two of them made a hole every step.

Why bother?

He had no choice but to find it very funny, and asked, "Mom, are you spending all of our family's wealth?"

"..."

The car visibly wobbled, and the old lady replied weakly, "There's still a lot left, there's still a lot left."

Hehe, you just believe me.

The two tossed together, and it was already noon when they got home. Just in time for Xu Xiaowen to come back from the regiment, he was startled when he saw this, "What's wrong?"

"It was said that the cloth ticket was abolished, and everyone rushed to buy cloth, and I also bought some."

"Is this called buying something? How much did you spend?"

"It didn't cost much..."

Zhang Guiqin reported the number without confidence. Now that she has calmed down, she also regrets it a bit.

Xu Xiaowen immediately became angry, although he didn't go bankrupt, but he spent hundreds of dollars to buy a pile of fabrics, it's purely sick!

"Aren't you short-sighted? Listening to the wind is rain, and your head was kicked by a donkey?"

He pointed at his daughter-in-law and scolded, without any hesitation about the presence of his children, "So much cloth, when will it be used up? Hey, there are quilts here, enough for your son to marry!"

"Don't talk about your son, it's enough for my son to get married." Xu Fei said quietly.

"go away!"

Xu Xiaowen is angry, can't control his wife, can't he control his son? Seeing that Xu Feizhen was about to dodge, he immediately said, "Come back here, I have something to tell you!"

"We've decided to perform outside. We'll go to Wugouying at the end of the month. They have a New Year's party. The money is quite generous, so you go too."

"I won't go, and I don't know how to talk about books." He refused.

"You're stupid! If there is one more person, our family will have more heads when we divide the money. I don't need you to go on stage and help move things?"

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with you this time, it's good to go out for a walk."

Zhang Guiqin was wronged, and naturally followed her husband, "It will be a matter of a month at most, and then the Chinese New Year will be. If you don't earn money, you won't earn it for nothing."

"Let me tell you, your uncle called you by name. This is to take care of you, do you understand? Don't be ignorant of flattery."

uh, ok.

Parents went into battle together, and even moved Shan Tianfang out, so he had to go if he didn't go.
