I want to be a good person

"Welcome, sir, welcome to our store"

The guy greeted warmly.

Ready-to-wear store.

Zhang Aiguo lifted the curtain at the door and a wave of hot air rushed in, making him feel much warmer immediately.

The clothes didn’t fit well and were drafty. Besides, they were all clothes of dead people, which made me feel uncomfortable.

"Sir, what style do you need? We are the largest ready-made clothing store in this city. We have gowns, sweaters, suits, Mao suits, and jackets. We also have cotton, silk, satin, and woolen clothes, hats, glasses, and canes. We have everything. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Zhang Aiguo looked at the ready-made clothes, which were dazzling in variety.

“I plan to buy some clothes.”

If a part of the pocket watch chain is exposed and the watch is in your pocket, you are considered an important figure, otherwise the guys won't even look at you.

"Sir, here are coats, fur-collared leather coats, plaid coats, double-breasted tweed coats, as well as mink coats, wolf fur, fox fur, rabbit fur, silver fox fur, and moustache fur. The linings are also exquisite, camel hair, silk brocade, everything is complete. You are the only one in this city."

“Well, it’s quite complete.”

"Sir, I'm not exaggerating, but in Wucheng, if we don't have it, you won't find another one. Many old customers have tried it, but they really don't have it. We will go to Baoding, Jinan, Qingdao, and Tianjin to buy it for you."

The guy is really attentive. Yes, looking at the atmosphere outside and feeling the weather, it should be the twelfth lunar month, the 3rd, 4th and 5th month of the lunar calendar.

Zhang Aiguo saw a black fur-collared leather coat, the same as the one in his own space, and asked, "How much is this coat?"

"This collar is made of fox fur. In one word, it is warm. When you put your hands on it, it is very comfortable and smooth. Feel it and try it."

As he said this, he took off the coat and let Zhang Aiguo touch it personally.

Zhang Aiguo put his hand on it as he was told, and felt quite comfortable.

"Look, this is made of English lambskin, with satin lining. It's all imported."

“How much ocean?”

"If you buy it, I'll give you a discount to make it a round number. It's almost Chinese New Year, so I'll charge you 1000 yuan for good luck."

"Yeah, not bad"

"Shall I pack it for you first?"

"No hurry, let's take a look at the others"

The guy smiled.

"Okay, take another look."

"What about this one?"

"It's made of gaudy fabric. Look, it's lined with lambskin. Look at the collar, it's an otter collar. Look at the sleeves, they're also furry. They can't stand the cold."

The guy has sharp eyes and just noticed the frostbite on Zhang Aiguo's hands. How could a rich and powerful person get frostbite on his hands? He should not have touched water with his fingers.

There is bound to be contempt in one's heart.

"This one, I'm asking for a favor from you, sir, 688 dollars."

Zhang Aiguo took a look around and the waiter left to greet other distinguished guests. Looking at the people who came in the car, they were wearing fur coats and if they liked them, they would wrap them up. The gap between the lower and upper classes in society was quite large.

Thinking back to yesterday, I couldn't even afford a steamed bun, but others treated thousands or tens of thousands of dollars as if they were nothing, without even blinking an eye. No matter how poor I was, I couldn't make my leaders suffer, and no matter how hard my life was, I couldn't make the government suffer. The attendant around me just asked the shopkeeper to write a receipt.

Zhang Aiguo listened carefully. Although the sound was very low, his physical fitness had improved, and one plus one was always greater than one, so it was still very clear.

"Mr. Chang, shall we continue as usual?"

"Well, since the New Year is coming, let's triple it."

“Hey, I’ll write it now.”

"Write to order a batch of disaster relief clothing, the total amount is US dollars."

"Mr. Chang, there is still zero and positive."

"You can't always have round numbers on your invoices. There's no such thing as a coincidence. You have to learn to be flexible."

"Yes, yes, I've learned your lesson."

"Okay, the county magistrate is still waiting."

“Okay, okay, I’ll write it down.”

"Forget it, let's take them to the official residence in the evening in a horse-drawn carriage."

"Oh, this county magistrate is really busy"

"It's not the New Year, the disaster victims should be given a bowl of porridge no matter what. The county magistrate has a good reputation and can't just call for donations in vain."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chang is absolutely right."

“What about the victims’ clothes?”

"I'll go through your place too. It's been eaten by rats and worms. I'll just make do with it."

"I understand. I'll send the money to you later."

"Um"

As long as people are alive, they will have seven emotions and six desires. No one is a saint, and there has never been a saint. Even Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, let alone we are all mortals.

Zhang Aiguo is no longer surprised by anything and has developed a strong immunity. He knows his own business. Even if he were to take over, he might be even more ruthless and evil than the current incumbent, because they are all human beings. It all depends on whether the means used are clever.

In the end, he spent more than 200 yuan to buy himself a suit, a gown, a jacket, a cotton robe and other clothes, accessories, shoes and socks. He also bought a batch of student clothes and coarse cloth shorts at a clothing store on another street, which only cost 20 yuan and 7 copper coins. There was a world of difference. The one who was Ni Shu was definitely far ahead.

In winter, it is very cold walking on the streets, and only people are busy making a living.

Zhang Aiguo glanced at his clothes. He hadn't changed them yet. He had to say goodbye to the past completely. Life needed a sense of ritual.

My favorite thing is to take a bath in the bathhouse and wash and scrub.

The lantern at the door of the old bathhouse was hung high.

The red barbarian gate is not very big, with a Ruyi drum-shaped stone on either side, two square door pins, and an open door panel. It is surrounded by animal faces and built with blue bricks. The gatehouse is solid and simple, with high eaves, stone couplets on both sides, and advertising slogans painted on the blank space on the courtyard wall.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a big soup on the screen wall.

"Sir, you are here. Please come in."

As he said this, he reached out and took the bag from Zhang Aiguo's hand.

"What's the point of this? Tell me."

"Are you alone? Do you want to book a single room for a hot tub or a pool?"

"Chitang?"

"It's all about the guys"

"Pot Soup"

"Okay, follow me."

“Is there anything better?”

"Yes, there are only two studio suites with sofa beds. If you come early, they will be sold out if you come late."

"Call someone to serve"

"Well, we can provide tea, food, mahjong, newspapers, opium, bathing, hair and facials, foot massage, music, whatever you want, we can do it."

The city is not big and covers all three ends.

"Food, drink, newspaper, haircut and facial treatment are the four things"

"Well, sir, the usual thing is to pay the bill first."

"Okay, lead the way"

"This way please"

The accountant stood up, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Thank you, four dollars."

Four dollars were placed on the counter. The accountant smiled, apologized first, then took the dollar in his hand, padded it twice, blew it between his fingertips, and put it to his ear to listen.

"Sir, please give me a receipt."

"Write it"

Zhang Aiguo had never seen any written deeds from the Republic of China period, so he only took the gold, silver and other items in the safe, as well as a few pieces of jewelry and several blank certificates. He gave up on the rest as he had no use for them.

"Or I'll send it to you later."

"Let me see, don't panic"

"Then please wait a moment"
