Lin Yu pushed his bicycle and said to Qian Da Bao, “Da Bao, I’m going now. If anything happens, just ask Uncle Qian to tell my dad. I’ll come find you when I hear the news.”
Qian Da Bao nodded and said, “I know, Xiao Yu. Remember to go to the police station and get your bicycle license. It’ll save you trouble later.”
Lin Yu nodded and said goodbye to Qian Da Bao.
He then took the two excited girls to the watch counter.
“Second Brother, you want to buy another watch?” Lin Miao said in surprise.
He Yu Shui, who was beside her, had already widened her eyes and looked at Lin Yu with astonishment.
Under the stunned gazes of the two girls, Lin Yu spent another 120 yuan on a Shanghai all-steel watch.
Actually, Lin Yu most wanted a tactical watch like those worn by the American soldiers on the frozen battlefield.
That kind of watch was more suitable for Lin Yu to wear when he went hunting in the mountains.
However, it was not easy to get one now, so he could only wait for an opportunity to visit the black market or the trust store.
Lin Yu took the two girls to the second floor clothing area.
Lin Yu bought a pair of pants, a short-sleeved shirt, and spent 12 yuan and six cloth coupons.
He bought a pink stand-up collar dress with a waistline for Lin Miao, spending 16 yuan and four cloth coupons.
Looking at He Yu Shui's dejected look, Lin Yu suddenly showed a mischievous smile.
Nurturing games were Lin Er Ye's favorite.
Then, Lin Yu made an excuse and bought a white floral dress that He Yu Shui had liked in her size. It also cost 16 yuan and four cloth coupons.
When He Yu Shui saw the dress Lin Yu bought, the girl immediately jumped up and kissed Lin Yu's face.
Then, with a red face, she burst into tears.
The bystanders were so shocked that they almost thought Lin Yu was harassing her.
“Uncle and Aunties, everyone, this is my sister. I bought her a new dress, and she’s so happy that she’s crying,” Lin Yu said, pointing to the dress in He Yu Shui and Lin Miao’s hands.
Seeing Lin Miao and Lin Yu’s similar looks, they finally believed Lin Yu's words.
Lin Yu rubbed He Yu Shui’s head and said, “Yu Shui, it’s okay that you cried, but you almost got your Brother Yu beaten up by the crowd!”
Lin Yu noticed He Yu Shui’s shyly lowered head, but while blushing, she also squinted her eyes and showed a cat-like expression of enjoyment.
It seemed like he was using the wrong method.
Lin Yu muttered silently, “I noticed that Yu Shui relied on me last time, how come...”
However, now that he thought about it, Yu Shui was born in 1944, she would turn 15 this year.
Many instruments had to be learned from a young age because blowing, playing, singing, and dancing were all basic skills that required a lot of practice.
After leaving the department store, Lin Yu took the two girls straight to Quanjude.
“Comrade, two roast ducks, three sets of thin pancakes, a plate of mustard duck feet, a plate of fire-roasted duck heart, and please stir-fry the duck bones,” Lin Yu directly ordered according to his later experience.
The two girls were dumbfounded.
Just the roast ducks were 8 yuan each, which scared the two girls, making them grab Lin Yu's arms.
Lin Yu patted the two girls and motioned for them to relax. After they sat down, he said.
“Second Brother, how much do you earn a month to dare to spend like this?” Lin Miao asked worriedly.
Lin Yu said indifferently, “My promotion should be approved on Monday. Unless something unexpected happens, I should be paid as a 5th level clerk, 49 yuan and 5 cents a month, and the procurement department will give me an extra pack of Daqianmen cigarettes.”
Lin Miao blinked. Second Brother bought a car today for 200 yuan, a watch for 120 yuan, clothes for 48 yuan, and this meal cost 21 yuan.
Wow, just today, he spent 389 yuan, half a year of Second Brother’s salary was gone.
“Second Brother, you haven't started working yet, and you spent half a year's salary. What are you going to do in the future?”
He Yu Shui also nodded and said, “Yeah, Brother Yu, you can't spend money like that.”
Lin Yu smiled and said, “You two little girls, what are you worried about? Do you know how much I earned from hunting last time?”
“Last time I went hunting, not including the meat we ate at home, just what I sold to the factory was over 900 yuan. I only spent a little bit.”
Hearing 900 yuan, both girls were stunned.
Especially He Yu Shui, after her father left, they almost starved to death because their family couldn't even afford to buy food.
If Brother Yu hadn’t brought her home and Aunt Lin hadn't made her a bowl of noodles, she would have probably starved to death.
The two girls knew that Lin Yu could make money, so they stopped worrying about the roast duck.
Especially Lin Miao, she also ordered two bottles of North Ice Ocean.
After they were full, Lin Yu took the packed duck bones and ordered another roast duck. He left the restaurant and took the two girls towards the South Drum and Bell Tower police station.
Lin Miao sat in the back, He Yu Shui sat on the handlebars, leaning against Lin Yu, comfortably closing her eyes.
They arrived at the police station, got the stamp, paid 2 yuan and 25 cents, and then rode back to the courtyard.
Lin Yu looked at the two energetic girls and was very impressed.
It seems that whether it's a woman or a girl, shopping is their nature.
This half-day of shopping had made Lin Er Ye, who could run 200 miles a day in the mountains, sore all over.
“Wow, Xiao Yu, you bought a car, it's a new Phoenix brand! It costs 195 yuan!” Yan Lao Xi, diligently guarding the gate, saw Lin Yu and immediately recognized the bicycle.
“Third Uncle, you are really informed. I don't have time to chat with you now, I spent the whole day shopping with these two girls. I have to go home to rest. Remember to come over for dinner tonight,” Lin Yu said with a smile.
Lin Yu was very optimistic about Yan Lao San. He was calculating and shrewd, he was definitely a good person to use when analyzing the situation and making decisions.
Although he had a little bit of conscience, not much.
As for the Liu family, Lin Yu also wanted to use them. Although Liu Hai Zhong and his three children were ruthless.
But no matter how ruthless they were, they were no match for Lin Yu.
No matter what, can a wild dog be more ruthless than a tiger king?
Once the wind picked up, Lin Yu would need people to do dirty work. The Liu family would be just the right people at that time.
When the wind truly picked up, Lin Yu would directly turn Linjia Village into a labor camp.
He would also be able to save a group of intellectuals and old revolutionaries. These people would be invaluable connections after the opening up of the country.
