Chapter 21 Buying a car or a watch makes you jealous of animals



Xu Damao stayed up all night, his head was groggy, and he dozed off on the way to work.

"You bastard, you sleep at work, do you still want to do it?"

The leader of the work unit found him sleeping and hit Xu Damao on the head.

"If you don't work hard, go home."

Xu Damao apologized repeatedly, and the leader gave up.

In order to cheer up, Xu Damao lit a cigarette to refresh himself after the leader left.

Before the cigarette was finished, Xu Damao dozed off again.

It doesn't matter if he dozed off. What's fatal is that the cigarette in his hand was loosened and fell to the ground.

The room was filled with film. The cigarette fell to the floor, ignited the film, and the fire slowly started.

Xu Damao was snoring, unaware of all this.

The leader walked back and forth in each room to check, and after a while, he returned to the film room.

As I approached the room, I smelled a mushy smell and had an ominous premonition in my heart.

The moment he opened the door, a puff of thick smoke rushed out, and then he saw that the film had already burned.

"Oops!!"

"Firefighting!!"

The leader took off his clothes and rushed into the room to put out the fire.

Xu Damao suddenly woke up and took off his clothes to join in fighting the fire.

Other colleagues also came to help.

Fortunately, the fire was discovered in time and the fire was not big and was quickly extinguished.

After the fire was extinguished, the damage was inspected and only a few boxes of film were burned.

"Xu Damao, damn you, look at the good things you did."

"Snapped!"

The leader slapped Xu Damao hard on the face.

Xu Damao covered his burning face and dared not speak in anger.

The leader reported the accident to the factory, and Xu Damao was given a serious demerit.

The leader was implicated and punished because of poor management.

"trouble marker!"

Whenever the leader met Xu Damao, he would scold him and make him wear small shoes.

Xu Damao did not dare to reply, pretending to be honest, and greeted the leader's ancestors secretly.

Even so, Xu Damao didn't dare to give up and walked away.

In the screening department, no matter how many people squeezed their heads to get in, they couldn't get in.

I am just an apprentice projectionist now.

After a while, after learning the skills and becoming an official projectionist, that would be a job that everyone would envy.

In order to eliminate the leader's prejudice against him, Xu Damao not only invited the leader to dinner, but also gave him gifts.

At work, I help the leaders bring tea and water, and pick up the children from school.

In this way, the leader finally forgave Xu Damao.

……

Today is Saturday, Lin Bai decided to go to the market to buy some hard goods.

The last two times, the system gave away watch tickets and bicycle tickets.

These two things were the hard goods among hard goods in the 50s.

Whoever sees these two things doesn't call himself daddy.

With a watch, it is convenient to tell the time without delaying things.

With a bicycle, it is more convenient to go to work and you can sleep more in the morning.

Lin Bai went straight to the largest shopping mall in Sijiu City and found the counter.

"Huh!"

You don’t know if you don’t see it, but you will be shocked when you see it.

I thought there weren’t many decent watches in this era, but I didn’t expect that there are so many types.

Rolex, Omega, Cima, Tissot, Mowen, Codibo, Rome, Plum Blossom, Innerge... you name it.

Lin Bai looked around and fell in love with a Rolex.

"How much is this?"

"Five hundred and four."

"Huh! Good guy!"

It's not cheap, more than 500, which is equivalent to several years' salary of ordinary people.

However, this was within the acceptable range for Lin Bai.

The system rewards great unity, and coupled with my considerable salary, buying a watch worth [-] yuan is not a problem.

"Please wrap this one for me, I want it."

"Comrade, look at your ID."

"Huh? What documents do I need to see when buying a watch?"

After listening to the salesperson's explanation, I realized that precious things like this were rare materials and were classified as preparations.

It’s not something you can buy if you have money and tickets.

Only some officials or people in special industries can buy them, while ordinary people can only buy Roman and plum blossoms.

So, Lin Bai re-selected the watch he could buy.

A Roman watch with date, day of the week, automatic winding, and chronograph functions broke into Lin Bai's eyes.

"Where's this one? How much does it cost?!"

"This one costs 300 yuan."

The salesperson took out the watch and placed it in front of Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked over and over and tried it on his hand. The size was suitable and the appearance was beautiful.

"I want this one, wrap it up for me."

Lin Bai took out 300 yuan and tickets to buy this watch.

Taking the watch, I went to the bicycle shop again.

At this time, there were no more than three types of bicycles: Forever, Phoenix, and Feige.

Lin Bai, looking for luck, chose a Phoenix and bought it for [-] yuan.

I bought a bicycle and spent money on two locks.

The beasts in the yard must be jealous when they see him buying a car and have to guard against it.

After leaving the mall, I got on my bike and went to the police station to have the bike stamped.

After everything was done, Lin Bai put on his watch and rode back to the hospital.

On weekends, animals chatted in the courtyard, played chess, basked in the sun, and washed clothes.

Almost all there.

"Jingle bell! Jingle bell!"

The sound of a bicycle bell broke the tranquility in the courtyard.

All the animals looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Then, they saw Lin Bai entering the hospital pushing a bicycle and wearing a watch on his hand.

"Fog grass!!"

“Show off your wealth!!”

At that time, there was no word for showing off wealth, but everyone thought so.

It doesn’t matter if your Lin Bai family has a washbasin, a spittoon, and a thermos. We can’t see them at home anyway, so we’ll just let it go.

Not enough for you?

We also bought bicycles and watches, which were dazzled in front of our eyes all day long. Did they ever consider our feelings?

What is your peace of mind?

You ride your bike, play with your watch, and eat meat every day, while we eat cornmeal and walk to work every day.

Lin Bai!

You are so despicable and shameless!

We are all from the same hospital, how come you are living so well, we should be living so miserably.

Compared with you, we are like little maggots in the gutter.

"Dingling, Jingling!"

"Give it up, let it go."

Lin Bai pushed the cart through the middle.

The beasts on both sides kept staring at Lin Bai, looking at his car and then at the watch in his hand.

There was jealousy and envy in his eyes, but of course there was also hatred.

Silly Zhu: "I'm just an ordinary chef. You're younger than me, so you become a level five slaughterer. It's so unfair!"

Xu Damao: "I'm just an apprentice in the projection department, and you have to use a bicycle. It's so unfair!"

Jia Dongxu: "I work hard every day just to be promoted to a second-level fitter, so you wear a watch. It's so unfair!"

The first uncle: "I'm decades older than you, but my job rank is not higher than yours. It's so unfair!"

Second uncle: "You woke up in the middle of the night and there was no urinal. How can you ask for a urinal at such a young age? It's so unfair!"

Third uncle: "The pig-killer has a better life than an intellectual like me. It's so unfair!"

Jia Zhangshi: "You little bastard, it's so unfair!"

At this moment, all the orcs turned into clowns.

Only Qin Huairu, whose heart melted, came closer.

"Lin Bai, this car and this watch are so beautiful. How much did they cost?"

"three hundred!"

"It's too expensive. Spending three hundred at a time is too luxurious."

"No, you misunderstood. Three hundred for each item, six hundred in total."

"???"

In an instant, the faces of all the beasts were filled with questions.

Spending six hundred in one go is too bullying.

However, everyone knew that Lin Bai’s salary was high, and no one doubted the source of the money.

"Lin Bai, this is not how you spend money. How many roast chickens do you need to buy for 600 yuan? If you buy steamed buns, you can go around the courtyard several times."

"You have no control over what I want to buy."

Lin Bai disagreed with Jia Zhang's words.

"Lin Bai, everyone in the courtyard is simple, but you are the only one who spends money lavishly. This is a capitalist style of yours, which is not good."

The moral emperor is once again attacking from a moral perspective.

"If you don't have money to buy it, you don't have money. Who has the morals?"

"If you think this is a capitalist trend, just go to the mall and ask them not to sell it."

"It's too sour to eat, ah!"

If you continue to stay in the courtyard, the beast's words will only get worse and worse.

What else can these people hold back?

Lin Bai pushed the cart and walked away minding his own business.

Behind him, Qin Huairu followed him to the door of his house.

"Lin Bai, they are jealous of you. Only sister is happy for you."

"I like your car and your watch when I look at them. Let me wear them and ride them."

"Can you ride a bike?"

"No, you teach me how to ride."

"If you don't know how to ride, just ride Jia Dongxu."

Lin Bai pushed the car into the house and closed the door, leaving Qin Huairu angry outside.
