Chapter 124
Su Xinghui paid 418 yuan, asked the female shop owner to put the clothes his parents took off into two bags, and let them wear the new clothes to the street.
Guo Suhua said, "Xinghui, how are you so good at bargaining? Do you really have a classmate who has done clothing business?"
Su Xinghui smiled and said, "No, I heard it from others."
Su Wenjun was a kind person. He said, "Is it too hard to cut to 50% off? Others also need to live."
Su Xinghui said, "Dad, don't worry, at this price, she still earned at least one or two hundred yuan, which is our monthly salary. I didn't bargain to death. If I really grind with her for a day, I guess I can grind another fifty yuan down."
Su Wenjun said in surprise, "Does doing business really have such high profits?"
Su Xinghui said, "Otherwise, what do you think? These people who do business go to Jiangcheng Wanma Clothing Market at two or three in the morning to take the special bus for goods, and they bring back big bags and small bags. Do you say it's tiring? What are they doing if they don't make money?"
Su Wenjun said, "But they can earn a person's monthly salary by selling a piece of clothing, this is too black, right?"
Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Dad, you can't say that. These people who do business make money, but they are also hard-working, and objectively they also prosper the market and solve employment, which can be considered a contribution. Otherwise, do people in Shangjun County go to Jiangcheng to buy clothes? The expenses on the road are not small."
Guo Suhua nodded and said, "Yes, Old Su, Xinghui's words also make sense. At least people in Shangjun can buy the clothes they like without leaving the county. In fact, as long as everyone learns to bargain, like Xinghui cutting to 50% off, they won't suffer much loss."
The family was shopping when they saw a young man with long hair running wildly in the crowd, looking back while running. Su Xinghui saw at a glance that the person chasing relentlessly more than ten meters behind was Wu Jun, and Wu Jun was shouting "catch the thief".
Su Xinghui hurriedly stuffed the bag containing the clothes into his father's hand, greeted him, swept the long-haired young man to the ground with a sweeping leg, and then stepped forward to twist his hands behind his back and pressed him to the ground. When twisting his hands, a dagger fell to the ground with a clatter.
Wu Jun arrived later. He was not wearing a police uniform but was wearing plain clothes. He took out handcuffs, handcuffed the thief's hands behind his back, and said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, thank you!"
During the New Year, it is the peak period for theft cases. It looks like Wu Jun is out on the street to perform anti-pickpocketing tasks.
Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Helping the police comrades catch thieves is our duty."
Wu Jun shouted "Uncle, Aunt" to Su Wenjun and his wife again. Guo Suhua said with concern, "Little Wu, you should also pay attention to safety when catching thieves."
Wu Jun nodded and said, "I will pay attention."
Wu Jun searched the thief and found a wallet. At this time, a middle-aged woman with a wealthy figure followed up panting from behind, shouting: "My wallet, my wallet."
Wu Jun said, "This comrade, please go to the Public Security Brigade with me to explain the situation, and you can get the wallet back."
A circle of people had already surrounded them. Seeing this situation, they all applauded. Then two plainclothes police officers came and escorted the thief to the Public Security Bureau with Wu Jun.
Guo Suhua said to Su Xinghui with lingering fear, "Xinghui, you should be careful when you encounter this kind of thing in the future. The thief just now was carrying a knife."
Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay, I'm careful. I saw his knife when I went up, so I knocked his knife off first and then pressed him down. I learned kung fu from my aunt's husband, and there is no problem dealing with this kind of petty thief."
Guo Suhua still said, "Anyway, don't come forward if you can in the future, it's too dangerous. What if something happens to you, what should Mom do?"
Su Wenjun said disapprovingly, "I think Xinghui did the right thing. If this society is full of people who think like you, then who will see justice and act? How can this society promote righteousness? Wouldn't those thieves be arrogant?"
Seeing his mother's willow eyebrows stand up, about to retort to his father, Su Xinghui hurriedly smiled and said, "Alright, Dad, Mom, don't talk anymore, let's go, let's go buy a pair of pants."
Guo Suhua's attention was instantly attracted again: "Buy pants again? Why don't we forget it today!"
Su Xinghui said, "If you buy, you buy a set, otherwise it doesn't look good if only the clothes are new and everything else is old."
Su Wenjun and his wife couldn't resist Su Xinghui, so they had to buy a pair of pants and a pair of shoes each with him. Su Xinghui spent a total of over six hundred yuan to buy a set of new clothes for his parents for the New Year, and then he also spent over two hundred to buy a set of new clothes for himself.
Seeing his son spend over nine hundred today, Guo Suhua felt heartache, but Su Xinghui said to her, "Mom, don't feel heartache. Isn't money spent after it's earned? Our family's life will get better and better in the future."
Mother and son were talking when Su Xinghui suddenly heard someone call his name. He turned his head and saw that it was Xue Qin. Xue Qin walked over and called "Uncle, Aunt" to Su Wenjun and his wife. Guo Suhua said, "Xue Qin, are you also shopping?"
Xue Qin nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't been back to the county seat for a long time, so I'm shopping and buying some things."
Guo Suhua asked, "Why haven't you been back to the county seat for a long time? Where have you been?"
Xue Qin said, "This year the bureau transferred me to Menghuling station. I just went there at the beginning of this month and have been very busy, so I haven't been back. Today I went back with Su Xinghui after the break."
Xue Qin transferred to Menghuling? Guo Suhua felt a bit strange. She smiled again and said, "You also went to Menghuling? How did you, a girl, get transferred to the township? That's too hard! Isn't it good to stay in the county bureau? No wonder I haven't seen you for this period of time."
Xue Qin covered up unnaturally, "The leader's arrangement, I have no way. By the way, Su Xinghui, are you buying new clothes? I also want to buy two pieces, just right, I will shop with you?"
Su Xinghui said, "We have already bought them and are ready to go home. You can shop by yourself."
"Is that so!" Xue Qin couldn't help but show disappointment.
Guo Suhua said, "Xinghui, what's the point of Xue Qin shopping alone? You should accompany her to shop. She is a girl, you can help her carry things. Your dad and I will go back by ourselves."
Hearing Guo Suhua's words, Xue Qin's face ignited with expectation again.
Guo Suhua had already said so, so Su Xinghui had to nod and say, "Alright."
Xue Qin smiled like a flower and said, "Aunt, then thank you!"
Guo Suhua waved her hand and said, "Don't be polite, Xinghui, don't rush back, Mom will cook in the afternoon."
Su Wenjun took all the bags containing clothes from Su Xinghui's hand, and the couple left. Xue Qin looked at Su Xinghui, who had a helpless face, and couldn't help but laugh: "Su Xinghui, can you not be so stingy? Is it so difficult to accompany me shopping?"
Su Xinghui looked at Xue Qin, thinking that she had gone to Menghuling regardless of hardship for himself, and his heart couldn't help but soften. Although he had no feelings for Xue Qin, he was ultimately moved by such behavior.
