Chapter 340 Full of Hope

Gu Chao lowered his head and touched the gap on his chest with his hand.

 The tenderness in his eyes flashed for a moment, and then turned cold.

That dead bastard...

Gu Chao frowned, hesitating whether to go back and clean up the people again. Suddenly there was a knock on the door from behind: "Comrade, hot water!"

"Thanks."

 After taking the hot water, Gu Chao locked the door again.

After hastily tidying up, Gu Chaocai untied his cotton-padded jacket, touched the inner pocket to make sure the things were still there, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

 With this money, he can give Wei Lan a better life.

With money in his hand, Gu Chao didn't dare to really fall asleep. He folded his cotton-padded jacket neatly and hugged it tightly in his arms, covering himself with a quilt and sitting on the bed.

The room is large and empty, and the temperature is very low.

But Gu Chao was full of hope, his heart was extremely hot, and his whole body became warm.

   *

 “Are you buying it for your lover or your sisters?”

 The next morning, Gu Chao stood in front of the counter on the second floor of the largest department store in Hai City, his eyes scanning the neatly displayed women's clothing on the back row of shelves.

The salesperson is a young girl with braided braids, and she does not look down upon Gu Chao because of his simple dress: "These are all new arrivals, small open-collar Lenin, windbreaker jacket, cashmere sweater...especially the pine branch color Lenin, which is on sale now." good."

Gu Chao had a lot of things in his hands, including things from Wei Lan, things from Grandma Gu and things from You Lan, among which Wei Lan bought the most.

Young girls dream of wearing an elegant Lenin suit, while boys like military green military uniforms and their own decent Mao suits. When they wear them, they look like cadres, not to mention more elegant.

Gu Chao did not follow the salesperson's recommendation to look at women's Lenin clothes, but looked at another plaid coat without blinking.

 Milky white base, light blue and red grid lines.

  It is very similar to Wei Lan’s usual dressing style.

 “I want that.”

The salesperson was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to the shelf, pulled the sleeve of the coat, turned around and asked, "Is this it?"

Gu Chao nodded.

The corner of the salesperson's mouth trembled and he explained: "Comrade, this coat is made of woolen material and costs four feet of cloth and 126 yuan."

“Liang Xiao, why are you telling him so much? Do you think he can afford it?”

The middle-aged woman who came out from behind the shelves glanced at Gu Chao up and down. She saw that Gu Chao was tall and handsome, but he was dressed plainly. His clothes were half new and half old, and he was still wearing cloth shoes.

The cloth shoes are still stained with mud.

 What’s the use of being handsome? Can it be used as food or money as tickets?

The middle-aged woman "tsk", as if she was afraid that the mud on Gu Chao's shoes would stain the floor.

Liang Xiao smiled awkwardly at Gu Chao, and then shouted to the woman: "Manager Xiao."

Gu Chao only glanced at Manager Xiao coldly, and then pointed at the white cashmere sweater displayed on the shelf, "I want that one too. If there is a child around ten years old wearing it, get one too."

 After a pause, Gu Chao added: "Children should have dark colors."

Youlan always plays around wildly, and the color is too light to withstand stains.

Manager Xiao sneered after hearing this, and just as he was about to make some more sarcasm, Liang Xiao was already taking the clothes off the shelf with quick hands and feet.

Just as he was about to enter Gu Chao, Manager Xiao took Liang Xiao's hand and said, "I'm talking to you!"

Damn girl, you have only been in the department store for a few days and you dare not listen to what she said! Liang Xiao is in a dilemma. He can neither collect things nor hand them over.

Gu Chao said nothing, took the things in his hands and turned around to leave.

 He didn’t go far and went straight to the counter next door where bicycles and clocks were displayed.

 Wei Lan said before that he wanted a TV, and Gu Chao kept it in mind. He asked the salesperson and learned that it was sold on the third floor of the department store. After thanking him, he went straight to the third floor.

When Gu Chao went to the counter next door, Manager Xiao kept watching. Seeing that he went to the third floor without buying anything, he immediately took a sip and said to Liang Xiao: "We don't accept everyone, wipe your eyes." Bright spot, from now on, don’t pay attention to people like this who look poor at first glance!”

“Yes, Manager Xiao.” Liang Xiao nodded, but couldn’t help curling his lips when he lowered his head.

No wonder her cousin said that this store's business has never been booming. He asked her to come and see, and it turns out that's what happened.

Not to mention how the previous salesperson was, the manager in charge of the store is a master who only sees what people are doing. Business is only going to be good.

The more he thought about it, the angrier Liang Xiao became. The man just now had a calm and calm face, and it seemed that he was not a man who could bluff people. If Manager Xiao hadn't suddenly ran out, he might have been able to close a big deal!

 “This, how is this possible?”

Liang Xiao was sulking when she suddenly heard Manager Xiao exclaim. She followed Manager Xiao's line of sight and saw the stairs from the second floor to the third floor. A slender man was walking step by step, unhurriedly. Come downstairs.

The man's back was slightly bowed, and he was carrying a brand-new box on his shoulders. On the box, the words "Jingpai 14-inch" were particularly obvious.

 Good guy! It’s about 400 yuan!

Liang Xiao took a breath of air, and then snorted to Manager Xiao in a cold voice: "Manager Xiao, I think you should wipe your eyes well."

 Buying a TV is not only a matter of money, but also an industrial certificate! Industrial papers are difficult to obtain, and only formal workers on the job have the opportunity to obtain them.

 Manager Xiao was slapped in the face and couldn’t stand it, but he couldn’t bear to be treated coldly by a newly hired girl.

Xiao snorted and wanted to screw Liang Xiao. Right here, a middle-aged man suddenly walked up from the stairs leading to the brigade on the second floor from the first floor, "Xiao Xiao."

As soon as Liang Xiao heard the voice, he turned around quickly: "Cousin!"

Manager Xiao thought to himself, what kind of cousin is not an uncle? Even if your father and grandma came today, it would not be of any use.

 But when Manager Xiao saw Uncle Liang Xiao, the aura on his face suddenly disappeared: "Zhao, Manager Zhao..."

 In the coldest month of winter, some people are destined to suffer.

 Gu Chao has no control over other people's affairs.

He bought a lot of things and it was difficult to take them back home, so he went directly to the local post office, packed the things and mailed them back first.

Originally I planned to go back after buying something, but the Hai market is bustling and there are indeed many more opportunities than in Province H.

If you want to make a name for yourself, Haishi’s starting point should be relatively better and more secure.

Gu Chao divided most of the money and planned to remit it home first, but he was afraid that the amount would be too large and arouse the suspicion of the post office staff, so he remitted 200 yuan first.

To remit money at the post office, you need to pay the money to the post office. Later, the post office staff will contact the local post office by phone to inform the amount and address, and a postman will deliver it to your home.

Gu Chao came down from the window and bought letter paper and envelope stamps separately.

I'm not sure when I'll go back, I'm afraid my family will be worried, so I want to make sure I'm safe.

 After borrowing a pen from the staff, Gu Chao's slender fingers were unaccustomed to holding the pen and felt quite at a loss.

"Serve the people!" Seeing Gu Chao's appearance, the staff shouted a slogan and came over: "Comrade, do you need a ghostwriter?"

 The staff saw Gu Chao's anxious expression and thought that Gu Chao couldn't write, so they came over enthusiastically to help.
