1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled

While they were chatting over dinner, Du Yimeng also discovered something new.

Lao Wu was not as ferocious as before when eating. Maybe it was because she looked at him a few more times, and she actually made Lao Wu blush.

Tsk tsk tsk...you've really grown up...

After dinner, Du Yimeng took out her big bag, which contained all the gifts she brought back for her family.

"Mom, this is for you." Du Yimeng took out the first gift, a big red scarf, and handed it to Du's mother.

"This bright red scarf is so beautiful, perfect for a girl. You can keep it for yourself." Du's mother sighed subconsciously, and then she directly refused.

She remembered that when her daughter came back, she was wearing a black scarf around her neck.

If Yu Hongru saw Du Yimeng's black scarf, he would subconsciously think of the black scarf that Yu Lang forcibly took away.

"I have both. I also bought a bright red one for grandma. Here..." Du Yimeng took out two bright red scarves from the big bag. At this moment, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.

They can now imagine how many old ladies will become a thorn in the eyes of the old lady when she goes out for a walk wearing a bright red scarf.

"Dad, this is a gift for you, size 42." Then Du Yimeng took out a pair of big-toed shoes and handed them to Du Weihai. Everyone's eyes fell on the pair of big-toed shoes.

The front leather and upper of the big-toed shoes are made of light yellow suede leather, the sole is hard rubber, the waist is army green canvas, and the lining is white wool.

"Is this for me?" Du Weihai asked in disbelief. He had rarely worn new clothes in his life. Even when he got married, he borrowed slightly better clothes from others.

Besides, this pair of big-toed shoes in front of me must cost at least several dozen dollars, right?

Du Yimeng saw Du Weihai so excited that her hand in the bag paused, and she was a little afraid to take out the things inside.

"The size is just right..." Du Weihai put on the shoes immediately. As soon as he took a step, his heels showed out of the shoes, but when he said it, it was exactly the opposite of the truth.

It’s okay if it’s a little bigger, just buy two more pairs of insoles when you go back.

"Dad, actually these shoes are defective." Du Yimeng explained with gritted teeth, and then pointed to the crooked button, which was covered by the shoelaces and could not be seen unless you looked closely.

"How can it be considered a defective product if it's a little crooked? It's already good, and it's okay if it's a little crooked. Dad likes to wear shoes with crooked buttons." Du Weihai said nonchalantly.

Not to mention that the button was a little crooked, even if it was just a piece of the sole, it was bought for him by his daughter.

"Since it's a defective product, do you not need a ticket?" asked Du's mother. Over the years, she had only heard of defective products and had never bought one. Of course, this was because she had no acquaintances in the supply and marketing cooperative.

"How much is a pair?" Du's mother asked subconsciously when she saw Du Yimeng nod.

Du Yidong's eyes lit up at what his mother said. He was also going to get married soon, and who wouldn't want to dress more formally on his wedding day?

He has been working hard to save money. His current salary is 33 yuan. He gives 20 yuan to his family every month, leaving him with 13 yuan.

Apart from occasionally buying something for his girlfriend, he didn't spend a penny of the rest and saved it all.

Except for Du Yidonggang, the other three brothers didn't care.

The third child is studying at a normal technical secondary school and does receive a subsidy every month, but that little money is only enough for his living expenses.

Moreover, he didn't care about his clothes, and the fourth and fifth sons didn't care either. They were still supported by their families, so no matter how much money it was, it had nothing to do with them.

"Thirty yuan, it's made of wool inside, the front leather and the upper are cowhide, and the lining is steel plate." Du Yimeng said that this was bought by Yu Lang through his connections. In this era, if you don't have any connections and tickets, you can only dream about buying good things faster.

The price may be expensive for ordinary people, but these big-toed shoes are really worth it. They are all made of genuine leather and there is no fakery at all.

Moreover, the shoes at this time can be worn for ten or eight years without any problem.

As soon as the price was announced, there was a moment of silence in the air.

Du Weihai was heartbroken, this was half a month's salary...

Du Yidonggang thought the black cloth cotton shoes made by his mother were both warm and good-looking.

"There are four pairs here, one for each of you." Du Yimeng took advantage of everyone's distraction and took out all the remaining ones.

Except for the size 42 pair, the rest were size 43 and all were wrapped in newspaper.

Du's mother opened her mouth wide. Was her son Dameng crazy?

Including the money for the shoes and the scarves for her and her mother-in-law, Daming had to spend at least 200 yuan.

But she didn't say anything. Her daughter was going to get married soon and would be an adult already. She knew how to spend the money and didn't need her, as a mother, to give her orders.

But she really cares about money!

The four brothers of the Du family looked at Du Yimeng in disbelief. Are they worthy?

"Try it on and see if it fits." Du Yimeng said with a smile, as if he didn't see everyone's reaction.

It seemed like a lot of money, but she didn't buy them gifts every year, and she didn't know when she would come back next time.

She felt that buying other things was a bit impractical, and Yu Lang happened to say that she could buy good things without tickets.

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you want new shoes?" Du's mother spoke. The four brothers of the Du family hesitated for a moment before trying on the shoes.

“It’s quite suitable!”

“These shoes are so warm!”

The four people tried on shoes and discussed at the same time, and everyone's face was filled with unconcealable happiness.

Du Weihai was watching from the side. He looked at their shoes and then at his own shoes.

He always felt that their shoes seemed a little bigger than his.

Du Yimeng: I didn’t feel wrong…

……

Just when the family was having a great time, the three members of the Yu family and Secretary Wan came to discuss the marriage between the two families.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The custom of the Du family is to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, and on the second day they have to visit relatives again.

Unfortunately, they didn't have that much time, so they wanted to set the date early so that they could make preparations.

"You've lost some weight, but you're more energetic than before." This was the first sentence Yu Hongru said to Du Yimeng after a year and a half.

The corners of Du Weihai's mouth twitched. He was afraid that his daughter would notice something, so he just said some nonsense. He didn't expect that what he said was actually right.

For the first time, he discovered that he was a smart...

"If I go to bed early and get up early every day, everything I eat will taste delicious and I will feel more energetic." Du Yimeng said meaningfully. It is impossible to go to bed early and get up early, but getting up early and going to bed late is almost the same.

The smile on Yu Hongru's face was a little stiff, and he felt a little guilty in his heart. He did not tell the truth at the beginning.

It's simply because they are worried that she can't endure the hardship. There are so many transfer orders, so there is no chance for her to refuse.

Besides, the machinery factory is too small, and the outside world is more suitable for her.

Fortunately, she survived, which is great.

Secretary Wan glanced at Du Yimeng, then turned his head away. He always felt that there was something else behind her words.

But he is not very curious. His task today is to continue to be a transparent mascot and matchmaker.

During the conversation between the two, except Yu Lang who knew the inside story, no one else knew that Du Yimeng was speaking in a sarcastic way.

"You go to bed early and get up early, so why are you still losing weight? It must be because you don't eat well..." Li Saifeng didn't understand and thought it was because of the poor material life.

Yu Hongru: ...
