Huxi is located to the north of the South China Sea and east of the Lianfeng Mountains. It has a typical temperate marine climate, with most rainfall concentrated in June and July.

"It is raining again……"

On September 25th, at the entrance of China Resources Yuehua, Li Jingguo was hiding from the rain while counting the hours in the supermarket. Today is the first day of Yuehua’s anniversary celebration. As early as half a month ago, Le Yuehua Supermarket had been overwhelmingly promoting the store anniversary. Among them

People's livelihood foods such as vegetables and raw meat are rarely sold at 30% off.

Li Jingguo is a retired employee of China Resources Railway and lives in the China Resources Family Home. His biggest pleasure every day is studying chess and supermarket discounts. According to Yuehua's promotional leaflet, if you shop over 68 during the store celebration, you can participate in the lottery at the service desk. For the lottery, he even

Saved on daily necessities for a week.

Li Jingguo is a man of action. He gets up at six o'clock, packs up, and waits for the first batch to come in.

It's eight-twenty now, ten minutes before the supermarket opens.

"Lao Li, what are you going to buy?" While waiting anxiously, an old man next to him struck up a conversation.

"Eggs, Chinese cabbage." Li Jingguo glanced at it and responded casually.

"We are all in our 70s and 80s, so don't stare at the two cabbages every day. Isn't your son a promising person? Ask him to buy you something good. I heard that the supermarket has a high-end section. If you buy it, ask your son to reimburse you."

The person who struck up a conversation did not pay attention to Li Jingguo's attitude and continued. Li Jingguo frowned. China Resources Yuehua is the twelfth branch of Yuehua. Most of its customers are China Resources employees. It is also the largest shopping supermarket in the east of Huxi. The person who struck up a conversation in front of him was named Sun Dadong.

We used to work in the same company and fought for a lifetime due to work reasons. I didn't expect to retire now. Sun Dadong is still in trouble every day.

Li Jingguo ignored him.

"Well, my daughter's salary is not high. But she can't stand her filial piety. Look at this table. It cost three thousand and sixty-six to import from Dongmenzi..."

It's still some time before the supermarket opens. Sun Dadong turned his wrist and showed off intentionally or unintentionally. Li Jingguo's son works at the Beijing Municipal Taxation Bureau. He has high academic qualifications and good salary, and is the most promising among the younger generations. He is usually envious, but now he has found a person to show off.

Of course you have to hold on to the ground.

"Old Li, please help me take a look, what time is it?" Sun Dadong placed his watch in front of Li Jingguo, pretending not to see clearly.

"Eight twenty-nine. Who is still looking at the watch in what age?" Li Jingguo was very annoyed and took out the elderly phone. Compared with Sun Dadong's high-end mechanical dial, Li Jingguo's LCD screen was very clear.

"Bang bang——"

"It's open, it's open."

………

At this time, there was a noise from inside the supermarket door. The adults and aunts at the door were getting ready. The moment the supermarket door opened, everyone rushed in at a sprint speed of 100 meters. Sun Dadong was fat and was squeezed in the back. But Li Jingguo's figure was nimble and he slipped away quickly.

Escape without a trace...

Sun Dadong PKed Li Jingguo, and Sun Dadong was defeated miserably.

"It's quite similar."

"Is this a small national flag? The store anniversary coincides with the National Day..."

…

Half an hour later, Li Jingguo and others looked at the surroundings curiously. The interior of the supermarket was now neat and tidy, with some small flag decorations on both sides of the aisle. Two silver display racks were added to each area, and the display racks were decorated with red silk.

These are simple products that look classy at first glance.

"Kaka!" Li Jingguo followed the trend and took two pictures. The whole supermarket is... pretty and it doesn't even look like a supermarket.

After calming down, everyone approached their target area. Li Jingguo bought some fruits and vegetables. Just like the promotional leaflet, there were discounts and promotions. After a while, the carts were piled up like a mountain.

Li Jingguo went to the daily chemical group. He had been using his toothbrush for half a year and planned to get a new one.

The trolley was making a clattering sound. The moment he approached the daily chemical group, Li Jianguo paused. He met an acquaintance...

"Sixty-nine...it's a money grab."

At this time, in front of the high-end daily chemical booth, Sun Dadong looked at the products in front of him and shook his head. In front of him was a large 80x220 shelf. There were only some pink flowers on the shelf. Above the flowers were scattered wooden boxes with exquisite shapes.

, is the most conspicuous place in the entire daily chemical group.

Product details are posted on the shelves.

Product Name: Huaxing Generation Toothbrush

Price: 699 yuan/piece

Effect: The black-tech electric toothbrush can effectively remove dental calculus, tooth stains, yellow teeth and other tooth-related problems. Caring for your teeth starts with Huaxing!

…

Sun Dadong looked at it twice. The price in front of him was not 69.9, nor 6.99, but 699... 699 to buy a toothbrush? It's too exaggerated.

"You want to buy a toothbrush too?" Sun Dadong was about to leave when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Oh, we brothers are getting along again." Sun Dadong smiled and turned around. The two had been fighting for more than thirty years. They thought they would never get along with each other, but now they bump into each other after not seeing each other for a while...

"This supermarket is too small."

Li Jingguo agreed. He originally wanted to leave, but he didn't owe Sun Dadong anything, so why did he run away when he saw him? That's how they greeted each other with disgust.

"Old Li, this toothbrush is specially designed to treat tooth stains and calculus. Your old yellow teeth should also be treated." After a brief greeting, Sun Dadong pointed to the Huaxing display stand.

Li Jingguo walked over.

"More than six hundred?" Li Jingguo was also stunned after seeing the price list. His monthly pension is two thousand three thousand. Based on this calculation, is it enough for three toothbrushes in one month?

"Your son gave you that down jacket worth RMB 3,200? If you are so rich, ask him to buy you one. Let me tell you, when we get old, we have to take care of our teeth. Do you still remember Lao Zhou in the delivery room? He died of oral lesions..."

Sun Dadong turned the topic to Li Jingguo's son.

Li Jingguo held his tongue and said nothing. Sixty-nine toothbrushes are sold to fools!

"My son doesn't come home all year round. He can't even bear to wear a toothbrush, right?" Sun Dadong got more and more excited as he spoke, and he felt a faint sense of victory.

"I said……"

"Your daughter is not filial, let her buy it for you."

…

Sun Dadong kept talking, and Li Jingguo choked back.

Sun Dadong felt choked.

"Your daughter is so filial, why wouldn't she be willing to give up a toothbrush?" Li Jingguo treated others in the same way.

"Of course I'm willing to give it up," Sun Dadong replied reflexively. He had never been a coward in front of Li Jingguo!

"Then you buy it first, and let my daughter reimburse you for it. If you don't have enough money, I'll bring a card." Li Jingguo took advantage of the victory and pursued it.

Sun Dadong felt like he had shot himself in the foot...

Half an hour later, Sun Dadong looked at the bamboo and wooden dental box in his hand with a dazed expression. At this time, in his hand was a long bamboo and wooden box that was about 20 long and eight centimeters wide. There was a sun and moon printed on the box.

This is the four characters of "Hua Xing Toothbrush".

In the end, I was really excited by Li Jingguo to buy a toothbrush...

"Old Sun is very courageous." Here Li Jingguo paid for the eggs and gave Sun Dadong a thumbs up.

"You don't want to buy it?" Sun Dadong twitched the corner of his mouth. He only remembered to buy a toothbrush, but he forgot about Li Jingguo.

"My son is reluctant to part with it." Li Jingguo picked up the eggs. If he can't afford it, he just can't afford it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. After saying that, Li Jingguo left first.

"You're not going to the checkout counter to return the goods, are you?" Halfway through, I suddenly remembered something.

"No." Sun Dadong was completely exhausted. His last road was also blocked.

…

"You're back? I went to Li Juan's to get some leeks and eat dumplings for lunch?" At eleven o'clock at noon, Sun Dadong came home, and his daughter-in-law Zhao Lu was busy in the kitchen.

"Whatever." Sun Dadong put his coat on the hanger and said with a tired look.

"Did you buy sesame oil... Did you buy a new toothbrush? Electric?" Zhao Lu organized the items in the shopping bag. When he saw the electric toothbrush, he was stunned. Sun Dadong changed the toothbrush last month, why did he change it again?

"Don't you think it's hard to brush your teeth? Electric toothbrushes are popular nowadays, so I bought them for you." Sun Dadong looked depressed. He said he wouldn't return it, so naturally he wouldn't go to the supermarket to return it.

"How much?" Zhao Lujin asked warily. This toothbrush looked exquisitely made.

"Thirty-nine yuan, the supermarket is holding an event."

"The electric toothbrush is not easy to use. Don't do this in the future. Wash your hands first and eat later." Zhao Lu felt a little distressed, but she accepted it happily.

Sun Dadong looked at the teapot on the coffee table and was extremely depressed. Thirty-nine and nine yuan...even if it was doubled ten times, it would still be more than that.

What did you do in the morning?

…

"One hundred and seventy-nine..." While Sun Dadong was depressed, Tang Yi was equally depressed next to the display cabinet of Yuehua Happiness Store.

In this morning, a total of 200 tourists passed by. Thirty of them walked by without squinting, and 170 stopped to look. Of these 170, only one made a purchase... Tang Yi was a little excited at first, but

Only when I followed the cashier did I realize that the only customer had mistaken sixty-nine for sixty-nine yuan...

So far, Yuehua Xingfu Road has zero orders. Although Tang Yi has not checked other stores, he estimates that the situation is similar.

At noon, Tang Yi ate beef noodles. This time the investment was huge. If the sales were not good, he would have to go to Beijing with a toothbrush on his back...

"Ding ding, ding--" At two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Yi was about to go to other stores to check out other stores, only to hear his cell phone ringing.
