Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

There are very few skin care products for women nowadays.

Friendship brand vanishing cream from Shanghai is one of the most popular and recognized brands among women today.

Of course, compared to Pechoin, which costs 2 cents a box, the price is much higher.

Li Youcai bought 4 bottles at one time just to allow Chu Xinyan, who has always been frugal, to use them generously.

"Brother, the tire is fixed."

Li Youjie returned the air pump and ran to Li Youcai, just in time to see the salesperson take out four new bottles of vanishing cream and hand them to Li Youcai.

"Hey, vanishing cream, brother, why did you buy so much? Can you give me a bottle?"

"No." Li Youcai directly collected the four bottles of vanishing cream and did not keep any.

Li Youjie curled his lips at the sight and muttered quietly, "How stingy! If you don't want to give it to me, forget it. I'll buy it myself."

"Salesperson, I want two bottles too."

During this period, although Li Youcai didn't give him much money, he never had less than twenty or thirty yuan on him.

"Two bottles for one dollar and sixty cents," said the salesperson.

Li Youjie took out his pocket money, counted out one dollar and sixty cents and handed it to the salesperson.

I bought two bottles of vanishing cream.

Before leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, he had already thought about giving it to Huang Juan, and even imagined that Huang Juan would be very happy at that time.

Meanwhile, at home.

Chu Xinyan had a basin full of dirty clothes and was scrubbing them with a washboard.

A soft female voice came from outside the window: "Is Brother Youcai home?"

Hearing this voice, Chu Xinyan instinctively felt her nerves tense up. She immediately dropped the clothes in her hands and wiped the water off her hands with her apron.

He hurried to the door, pushed it open and looked inside.

"Who?"

"Xinyan is home. It's me, your sister-in-law Wang." Widow Wang stood outside the door. Seeing Chu Xinyan's faint smile, she asked again, "Is Li Youcai home?"

"He's not here, and I don't know when he'll be back. Is there anything wrong, Sister Wang?"

Seeing that it was Widow Wang, Chu Xinyan felt a little uncomfortable, but her expression was normal and she didn't show anything.

"Sister, are you washing clothes?" Widow Wang asked casually when she saw water on Chu Xinyan's apron.

"Well, there are only two pieces. I'm almost done. Sister-in-law, please come in and sit down." Chu Xinyan said, making way for the door.

"I'm here to pay back the money. He's not at home, so it's the same if I give the money to you." Widow Wang took out 5 yuan and handed it to Chu Xinyan.

"This..." Chu Xinyan didn't know that Li Youcai borrowed money from Widow Wang.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should continue.

Widow Wang stuffed the money into Chu Xinyan's hand and smiled: "You are busy, I will leave first."

Widow Wang left with a swaying step.

Chu Xinyan held the 5 yuan in her hand and closed the door with doubt in her heart.

At the supply and marketing cooperative.

Li Youcai took out the sugar coupons and grain coupons from his body.

Bought sugar and corn starch.

I also bought some necessary tools and other items such as sanitary protective gear that the workers would need to wear.

There were so many things, Li Youcai bought a little bit of everything he could think of.

Fifty kilograms of sugar is just a big bag, and Li Youjie carried it onto the cart.

Finished this supply and marketing cooperative purchase.

Li Youcai pushed his brand new Phoenix bicycle out of the supply and marketing cooperative amidst many envious gazes.

It is no exaggeration to say that even a salaried worker who saves for a year by living frugally may not be able to afford this bicycle.

When he got outside, Li Youcai lifted his leg and stepped onto the bicycle.

"Brother! Didn't I give this bike to me? Why are you riding it?"

"Nonsense! If you don't pull the cart, do you expect me to? Besides, do you know how to ride it?"

In the entire brigade, no one had a bicycle. Li Youjie had only seen others riding one, so of course he didn't know how to ride one.

"I'll learn it. I learn things quickly, you know that." Li Youjie said.

"Pull the cart back to the factory and I'll give it to you. There's plenty of space in the yard for you to ride as much as you want." After saying that, Li Youcai kicked his legs and rode his bicycle, riding towards the factory first.

Li Youjie was left staring in anger, pulling the heavy cart and walking towards the factory step by step.

By the time we got back to the factory and put our things away, it was already late.

Li Youcai gave up the idea of ​​going to the aluminum products factory and fresh milk station again.

Li Youjie finally got the bicycle he had always dreamed of.

After simply teaching Li Youjie the precautions for riding a bike, Li Youcai let him practice riding the bike in the factory yard.

I fell a lot, but I became more and more skilled at riding.

Boys learn these things quickly.

"Brother, what do you think? I'm riding pretty well now." Li Youjie looked so beautiful while riding a bicycle.

"Well, that's great. I'll take the bus back later and you can ride your bike back by yourself." Li Youcai curled his lips. After seeing Li Youjie's cycling skills, he didn't want to fall to death.

"What's wrong? You don't need me to carry you anymore?"

"I want to live two more days."

"Alright. Pack up, lock the door, and let's go home."

The cart was pushed directly into the factory as it would be used tomorrow.

Lock the factory building and gates.

Worried that Li Youjie might get hurt if he fell while riding home, Li Youcai rode his bicycle and took Li Youjie home.

At home, Chu Xinyan prepared the meal early and was waiting.

Outside the yard, a bell rang several times.

Li Youcai opened the door and walked in with a cold look on his face.

"Why are you back so late today? Take off your clothes quickly and get on the kang to warm up." Seeing Li Youcai coming back, Chu Xinyan stepped forward to help Li Youcai take off his coat.

"I've basically prepared everything I can today, so it took a little time. I'll buy a batch of fresh milk and lunch boxes tomorrow, and then we can officially start production."

Li Youcai took off his coat, took out some cold cream from his pocket and handed it to Chu Xinyan.

"Falling Cream!" Chu Xinyan was surprised when she saw the vanishing cream for the first time.

But when Chu Xinyan saw Li Youcai took out four bottles, she felt distressed again.

Chu Xinyan said with a slightly complaining tone: "Why did you buy so many?"

Li Youcai stuffed all four bottles of vanishing cream into Chu Xinyan's hands.

"I bought it for you and Duoduo."

"It's cold, and I see your skin is a little dry, so don't be reluctant to use it."

"Don't drop it!" Chu Xinyan was holding four bottles of vanishing cream, afraid that if she couldn't hold one firmly and another one fell swoop, it would be a huge waste.

Carefully carry it into the house and place it on the kang.

Duoduo was playing with the two dolls. When she looked up and saw the white glass jar, she was filled with curiosity.

"Mom, what is this?" Duoduo dropped the doll and ran towards Chu Xinyan.

There is no woman in this world who doesn't love beauty.

Although Chu Xinyan has always been frugal, she also loves beauty in her heart.

Beautiful clothes and good cosmetics, no woman can resist them.

Chu Xinyan took a bottle of vanishing cream and unscrewed the lid directly.

Suddenly a faint fragrance wafted out.

"This is vanishing cream, for use on face and hands. It smells so good." Chu Xinyan scooped out a little with her fingers, rubbed it on the back of her hand, and then rubbed it gently with both hands.

Moisturizing, delicate and smooth.

There is also a light fragrance.

Li Youcai hung up his coat and walked into the house, watching the mother and daughter fiddling with the vanishing cream he had bought on the kang.

Xiaoxiao didn't say anything.

He was very happy to see the mother and daughter happy.

"It smells so good, mom. I want to apply some perfume too." Duoduo squatted in front of Chu Xinyan, smelling the fragrance of the vanishing cream and shouting that she wanted to apply it too.

"Okay, Mommy will apply some fragrance for you too." Chu Xinyan took out some cold cream, put it on Duoduo's face, and rubbed it with her hands.

"It's cool and comfortable." Duoduo was very happy as she felt the vanishing cream on her face.

"Dad, come here quickly and let mommy rub perfume on you too." Duoduo called Li Youcai.

Li Youcai took off his clothes and sat on the kang.

Chu Xinyan glanced back at him and said to Duoduo, "Your father doesn't need to wipe it, he wiped it and it attracted the wind."

???

Li Youcai was stunned.
