Chapter 639 640 [Front and rear respect]

  At noon, the two finally entered Haiji County in a hurry.

  Haiji County, in Xiang Nan's view, is just a dilapidated small county town.

  It’s already the 1990s, and there are not many buildings in the county, and the tallest is only a two-story building.

  There are not many cars on the street, not even a few motorcycles, and the main means of transportation are bicycles, donkey carts, and horse-drawn carriages.

  People coming and going are not well dressed. Most of them are still gray and green, and there are very few bright colors of red and purple.

  However, Li Shuihua has grown up so big, and he has never been to the county town. After entering the city, he feels extraordinarily fresh, and his eyes are almost not enough.

   "Shuihua, follow along, don't run around~" Seeing her looking around, Xiang Nan couldn't care less about the road, and was almost hit by a car, so he quickly grabbed her hand.

  Li Shuihua has never been so intimate with a man in public. But at the moment, she doesn't feel shy, but has a solid feeling.

   "Let's go, get the money first, and then I'll take you to eat the sheep." Xiang Nan led her by the hand and asked all the way to the post office.

  …

   "Comrade, withdraw money." Xiang Nan handed over the remittance slip.

   "It's off work, come back at two o'clock in the afternoon." The staff at the counter said directly without looking up.

  Xiang Nan looked at the time, it was clearly only 11:50, ten minutes before leaving get off work at 12:00.

   "Comrade, please help me." He said again.

   "Oh, you, you already said you're off work, you're off work, why are you still dead?" the staff member raised his head and scolded.

   "Yong Fu'er, why don't we come again in the afternoon?" Li Shuihua was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly advised.

  Xiang Nan smiled, "Comrade, you can see clearly, I'm here to collect the manuscript fee."

  The staff member was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the remittance slip again, and was startled.

  He works in the post and telecommunications bureau, so he naturally knows about "Story Club", and being able to publish articles on it is very remarkable.

  He then looked at Xiang Nan carefully again, and really couldn't see that such a dusty mountain man could be a writer.

   It's really hard to judge people by their appearances.

   "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll do it for you now." The staff quickly said, "Excuse me, have you brought your ID card?"

   "I'm taking it." Xiang Nan handed over his ID card and said.

  After the staff inspected, seeing that Xiang Nan was worthy of the name, they immediately became more respectful, and the smile on their faces became even brighter.

   "Mr. An, this money is yours, order it~" He counted the money and handed it to Xiang Nandao.

  Xiang Nan didn't order, so he gave it directly to Li Shuihua.

  Li Shuihua was afraid of making mistakes, so she counted several times over and over again, and felt that her eyes were almost blurred.

  Xiang Nan smiled, "Okay, I'll trouble you. Let's go."

   "Let's go slowly, Teacher An, goodbye, Teacher An~" the staff smiled respectfully.

  In the 1990s, being a writer was still a respected profession. Not only is it highly regarded in society, but it is not difficult to even want to be an official.

For example, Zhou Meisen, the author of "In the Name of the People", once worked as the deputy secretary-general of the city government; Lu Yao, the author of "Ordinary World", once worked as the deputy director of the Tongchuan Mining Bureau; Han Shaogong, who wrote "Daddy", worked as a forestry worker Deputy Chief...

  It can be said that as long as the article is well written, all aspects of society will open the door to convenience. Let alone a small employee of the post office.

  Li Shuihua could not help admiring Xiang Nan more and more when he saw his arrogant and respectful appearance.

  …

   "Let's go, I'll take you to eat mutton~" After receiving the money, Xiang Nan smiled and said to Li Shuihua.

   "No need, just eat a bowl of raw boiled noodles." Li Shuihua waved his hand quickly.

   "Listen to me." Xiang Nan insisted, took Li Shuihua to the restaurant, ordered mutton, wormwood noodles, and sweet and sour Yellow River carp...

   "Don't order anymore, it's enough to eat, I can't eat it." Li Shuihua repeatedly stopped.

   "If you can't eat it, take it back." Xiang Nan laughed.

   Then, the dishes came up one after another.

   Li Shuihua was eating, and suddenly burst into tears.

   "What, what is this..." Seeing this, Xiang Nan was startled, and hurriedly asked.

   "Yong Fuer, I have never eaten such good food in my life." Li Shuihua grinned, "It is really worth it to marry you."

   "It's worth marrying you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Eat quickly, after eating, we have to go shopping."

   "Yeah." Li Shuihua nodded with a smile.

  …

   After eating, the two began to visit the county town.

  The county seat of Haiji County is not prosperous. The real bustling one is an old central street. Post offices, restaurants, bookstores, grain stations, hotels, supply and marketing cooperatives, and bus stations are all located on this street.

   And this street is not long, 15 minutes is enough to walk from south to north.

  Xiang Nan first brought Splash to the supply and marketing agency to buy clothes.

   "You don't need to buy ready-made ones, just buy a few pieces of cloth and make them at home." Seeing that Xiang Nan wanted to buy ready-made clothes, Li Shuihua hurriedly stopped him.

   "I made it myself, it's not as good as buying it." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Come on, try these~"

  Li Shuihua couldn't resist, so she had to give it a try.

  She is beautiful, with big eyes, an oval face, a high nose bridge, and a slim figure, so she looks good in anything she wears. Xiang Nan bought her three pieces in one go, and when trying the fourth one, Shuihua said that he would not try anything, so he had to give up.

  In addition to buying clothes, Xiang Nan also bought a headscarf for Shui Hua.

  The wind and sand in the northwest is very strong, and the yellow sand is often overwhelming. If you don’t wear a headscarf or a hat, after half a day, your hair will be covered with dirt.

  In addition, I bought toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo and other daily necessities. I bought pens, ink, ruled paper, etc. for myself. I also bought clothes and candy for my brother and sister.

   "Yong Fuer, you also bought a few clothes, why did you only buy them for me?" Seeing that he didn't buy anything good for herself, Shui Hua couldn't help persuading him.

   "A big man, he can wear anything, buy any new clothes." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Besides, there are two sets of clothes at home, and they are not worn out, so don't rush to buy new ones."

  Li Shuihua saw that he only saved himself, but was willing to spend money for everyone, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

  …

  After shopping for clothes and department stores, Xiang Nan bought a 28-year-old Phoenix bicycle, and then brought Splash to the bookstore to buy books.

  Four major classics, classical classics, foreign classics, agricultural technology, fruit tree cultivation... I bought a big thick bag.

   After buying, the two finally rode back on the bike.

  Shui Hua'er sat on the beam in front of the car, and the back seat of the car was loaded with the things he just bought.

  Xiang Nan rode a two-eighth pole, traveling at lightning speed all the way. To be honest, it was indeed much lighter than walking.

  The two of them finally returned to Kushui Village when it was almost dark.

  After returning to the village, Xiang Nan took Shui Hua all the way home to visit his parents.

   "Ah, how did you get this car?" Seeing the two of them riding a new car, An Guomin was startled.

  In the early 1990s, a bicycle cost at least 150 yuan, and Phoenix and permanent bicycles were slightly more expensive, around 180 yuan.

   In Kushui Village, eating is a problem, so buying a car is naturally very difficult. There are more than one hundred households in the village, and there are only three bicycles.

   Thanks to Legend of the Universe Galaxy, No Perfect Life, Mo Xueyiyun for the reward, I am very grateful!
