Chapter 24 They are all ours!

Early the next morning, Zhu Lin ran over to find Li Changhe.

Last night, Li Changhe announced their relationship to his family, and Zhu Lin was of course no exception.

After all, in this day and age, hiding things will affect your reputation.

Although Li Changhe still has no job and no identity, Liu Shuwan is still somewhat dissatisfied.

But after knowing that Li Changhe earned seven or eight hundred yuan in royalties from writing articles, Liu Shuwan had no reason to object.

After all, these days, the average worker's monthly salary is only 30 to 50 yuan, which is only 300 to 400 yuan a year.

Those senior workers with good grades only earn seven or eight hundred yuan a year!
Li Changhe earned so much in just a few months, so at least his income would not be bad.

In fact, if the country really restored stability, Liu Shuwan would have no prejudice against Li Changhe's identity as a scholar, and would even be happy to see it happen.

She knew very well that in the 1950s, the income of intellectuals was among the highest in the country.

When many workers earned only a few dozen yuan a month, it was normal for a writer to earn one or two thousand yuan a month by publishing a book.

However, the situation changed later. The literary and artistic class was brought down to the ground. Not only did their composition change, but they also had no income at all. Writing articles was completely free.

too difficult!
This is also the reason why Liu Shuwan didn’t think Li Changhe was good at writing articles at first. The potential risks were too great.

But now it seems that the situation has changed again and the situation of intellectuals has improved.

Liu Shuwan was not so resistant anymore. After all, apart from this point, Li Changhe was fine in other aspects.

If he really goes to college as my daughter said, and once he is admitted, he obtains the status of a state official, that would be perfect, and he would be a perfect match for my daughter!

As for Zhu's father, he had no objection.

As long as my daughter likes it, it’s good. Besides, he and Li Lishan are good friends.

He would be happy to see his best friend's son become his son-in-law.

So with the support of his parents, Zhu Lin no longer had those burdens.

After waking up in the morning and having breakfast at home, I ran to find Li Changhe.

After all, it's vacation and it's boring to be alone at home.

However, after arriving, Zhu Lin quickly discovered that he had miscalculated.

Because Li Changhe's family, Li Lishan and Shen Yuxiu both went to work, leaving Li Changhe alone at home.

Then Zhu Lin came. Now a man and a woman alone in the same room, wasn't that like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
Yesterday in the Summer Palace, the two of them were hugging each other in public, which was inappropriate.

But today, I am at home.

No one yet!
With such a beautiful woman in front of him, Li Changhe couldn't continue writing the manuscript at all.

(I guess you guys don’t like what follows, so I won’t describe it in detail.)
Half an hour later, Zhu Lin pulled Li Changhe out.

You have to come out now. It’s good enough that this guy hugs you, and you want to take advantage of it?
Although Li Changhe was somewhat reluctant, he also understood that he should not be too hasty. After all, this era was different from later generations.

If this happened in later times, when two people were alone in a room, they would have stood firmly and supported each other.

Now, it is considered bold of Zhu Lin to be able to sit next to each other on the sofa for a while.

That is, upstairs and downstairs, otherwise girls won't come into your house.

After coming out, they rode Zhu Lin's bicycle and went to the state-owned store in Haidian.

The purpose of his visit was very clear, to buy a watch for Li Changhe.

The state-owned store in Haidian is also on West Street, next to Laohudong Hutong, and the Xinhua Bookstore is not far away.

Li Changhe had been here several times and proved that there was indeed a slogan inside that read "No beating or scolding of customers without reason."

Well, the key point is that it’s for no reason. If there is a reason, you can fight!

The state-owned stores at that time were a bit like the pedestrian streets of later generations, with large bungalows and long corridors. There were various counters on both sides of the corridors, and various supplies were placed behind the counters.

Li Changhe had not come to the watch area before. After all, he had only bought ordinary daily necessities in the previous few times.

He couldn't afford a luxury item like a watch at that time.

This time, Zhu Lin led him straight to the industrial area and saw the watches on the counter.

When they arrived here, the sales clerks at two adjacent counters were chatting. When they saw Li Changhe and the others coming over, they ignored them and continued chatting among themselves.

Zhu Lin and Li Changhe didn't take it seriously. That's how it is these days.

It's not that the service attitude is bad, it's that there is no service attitude at all. "So, which one do you want to buy?"

"Why don't we buy a Shanghai brand? I heard the Shanghai brand is the most accurate."

Zhu Lin and Li Changhe stood in front of the counter, talking in low voices.

There are quite a few watch brands these days, including Shanghai brand, local Yanjing brand, Sea-Gull, Yellow River, Peacock and so on.

In addition, Li Changhe also saw imported big brands.

Rolex, 490, and a gold one, 1200!

Even Omega is 340.

As expected, luxury goods are luxury goods in every era and are not affordable for ordinary people.

"What's wrong? You want to buy a foreign watch?"

Seeing Li Changhe staring at those imported watches, Zhu Lin asked in surprise.

Li Changhe shook his head: "Only fools buy foreign watches."

Although watches are very high-end these days, they are essentially depreciating products. To be honest, Li Changhe still feels that it is unnecessary to invest more than one hundred yuan to buy a watch.

This was also the reason why Li Changhe was not interested before.

But now he does have time needs, so he can only buy one.

"Shanghai or Yanjing is fine, I don't really care!"

The prices of the two are similar, 120 for Shanghai and 110 for Yanjing, with a difference of ten yuan.

"Just buy the one from Shanghai, it's more reliable!"

"Hello, comrade, help us get two of these watches!"

Zhu Lin spoke to the salesperson standing beside him.

The salesperson was a little annoyed at being interrupted, so he turned his head and asked expressionlessly, "Do you have any tickets?"

“I have a ticket!”

Li Changhe took out the watch ticket and placed it on the counter.

Seeing that Li Changhe had a watch ticket, the salesperson's face became more expressive, and then he said to his colleague next to him: "I'll tell you later, that family is really interesting!"

Then he walked slowly to the counter, looked at the watches inside, and asked calmly, "Which one do you want?"

"These two are from Shanghai Baoshihua, one for men and one for women. I want both!"

Zhu Lin spoke first at this time.

Then, he took out a watch ticket from his pocket and waved it in front of Li Changhe.

"Me too, surprise!"

"Let's buy two!"

"Men's watches are 120, women's watches are 90"

Women's watches are cheaper than men's watches, and the straps of the watches are also different.

Li Changhe's men's watch has a steel buckle on its wrist, while Zhu Lin's women's watch has an elastic strap.

"Open the order!"

Li Changhe asked the other party to write a payment slip, and then took the slip to go to the front to pay.

"Li Changhe, take it!"

At this time, Zhu Lin took out her watch money from her pocket, nine big unity notes.

"Put it away first. I'll pay for it all at once. You adjust the time here first!"

Li Changhe didn't answer it, but took the list and left.

He could still afford the price of a watch.

Seeing Li Changhe leave directly, Zhu Lin did not force him. She knew that Li Changhe wanted to give her a gift.

But think about it, since both of them have decided, it doesn’t matter, it will be their family’s money from now on anyway!
