Chapter 998 Buying a Radio 1
After Feng Qingxue said this, Lao Li and Ye Qing naturally stopped insisting and left after leaving the gifts.
After seeing them off and returning to the room, Feng Qingxue looked through the gifts they gave.
Well, not bad, not cheap but not too expensive, in accordance with etiquette, and most importantly, not against the rules.
Both of their families are cadres, so they have to pay special attention to this aspect.
The Li family gave two cans of malted milk, two cans of luncheon meat, two pounds of preserved fruit and two pounds of high-grade milk candy. For their family, it is not difficult to get these things, and they will not become a burden in life.
In addition, there is a radio ticket and a stack of industrial coupons on top of the luncheon meat in the gift, which is actually Shanghai brand.
Tickets and industrial coupons are not money. The former is a ticket, and the latter is issued according to wages. Ten yuan of wages are allocated one industrial coupon.
At present, many industrial products require both tickets and industrial coupons.
Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang haven't bought goods that require industrial coupons for a long time, so their industrial coupons are basically given away.
The Li family didn't give money, so it wasn't considered a bribe, but as we all know, tickets and industrial coupons are much harder to come by than money. If he has money but no tickets, he can't buy what he wants, and if he doesn't have industrial coupons, he can't buy industrial products.
Therefore, many staff members of government agencies help each other and take turns to buy the industrial products they need.
Big items are sewing machines, radios, wardrobes, beds, bicycles, etc., and small items are thermos bottles, clothes, etc.
"The Li family's way of doing things is quite interesting!" Feng Qingxue held the radio ticket and industrial coupon, "We usually don't think about getting radio tickets. Now there are a bunch of old men and old ladies at home, working every day without any entertainment. I was still thinking about whether to get a semiconductor for them. Just when I was sleepy, a pillow came. Bring a radio back to Dad. Anyway, we can afford this money."
Lu Jiang's eyes showed a hint of pampering, "Okay! Buy a few cream cakes by the way, you promised Xi Bao."
When he asked at the department store, the radio cost 145 yuan and 40 industrial coupons. Feng Qingxue counted the capital industrial coupons in his hand, just right, a full 40.
"How long will it take to save up so many industrial coupons?" Feng Qingxue muttered.
"Save for a year! If it's not enough, borrow some from colleagues. My family spent 160 yuan on that bicycle, which cost 50 industrial coupons. My husband and I saved for half a year." The salesperson smiled, collected the bills and industrial coupons, and wrote a receipt. He pulled the wire above his head to clamp the money and waited for him to leave before returning. After finding the change, he took out the box containing the radio.
Feng Qingxue stood on tiptoe to look at the radio in the box. It was brand new, shiny, and very beautiful.
"Dad and the children must like it very much." Feng Qingxue said.
Lu Jiang nodded and said, "I'm afraid Xi Bao will be naughty. If he presses the buttons randomly, he will break it in two days."
"When the time comes, Dad will put it away. Don't let Xi Bao be naughty."
It is indeed necessary to be on guard against Xi Bao. This child is too curious. Lu Jiang was about to nod when he heard the salesperson say, "This is the latest radio of Shanghai brand, 144 type 3-band 6-lamp electron tube, produced by Shanghai Broadcasting Equipment Factory, and it is about to reach international standards. There are three buttons like piano keys on it, which can adjust the three tones of high, medium and low."
The salesperson also helped them turn it on and listened to it. They could clearly hear the radio station. Now the announcer is promoting the leader's thoughts with a clear and pleasant voice.
