Chapter 174 Big Gift Package
On the day of registration.
It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and the entire Xinyi Middle School area was already bustling with activity.
Parents from various counties, carrying large and small bags of luggage and leading their children, squeezed onto the bus heading to the new No. 1 Middle School.
The bus swayed and rattled along the road, and with a hiss, it arrived at the new No. 1 Middle School stop.
As soon as they got off the bus, everyone's attention was drawn to the lifelike food pictures on the bus stop sign.
Before anyone could react, a loudspeaker from the row of shops next door announced:
"Great news! Great news! You can get a free plum juice by showing your status as a new student at No. 1 High School! It's free!"
free?
In front of the fried chicken and milk tea shop, Hua Lichu, wearing a chef's hat and holding a large iron ladle, stood in front of a huge wooden barrel.
"Free plum juice! Don't miss out!"
"Young lady, are you sure this plum juice is free? Giving it away for free?"
Hua Lichu smiled just right:
"Anyone with a freshman's admission letter can get a free drink!"
The parent quickly nudged the child behind them.
The child immediately took out the tightly hidden admission notice and showed it to Hua Lichu.
Hua Lichu nodded: "Did you bring a cup?"
The parent was taken aback and shook their head.
Hua Lichu pointed to the side, where it was clearly a newly opened "3 Yuan Store":
"There are welcome packages for new students there, which include water bottles, notebooks, pens and other study and living supplies. They're only 3 yuan a pack. If you're interested, you can go and take a look."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a hawker's cry came from next door:
"It doesn't matter whether you buy it or not, just come inside and take a look."
All items in this store are priced at three yuan.
Everything I pick costs three yuan, everything I buy costs three yuan. Everything I choose, everything I take, everything I buy costs three yuan.
The original price was ten or eight yuan, but now everything is selling for three yuan.
Selling for three dollars, a clearance sale for three dollars. A real clearance sale, a real clearance sale.
You don't need to ask the price, you don't need to bargain, and you're not afraid of being ripped off.
Everything is three yuan, you can buy anything for three yuan, pick whatever you want.
Everything is three yuan, three yuan for anything.
The parent glanced at the child, somewhat reluctant to spend the money, and Hua Lichu smiled knowingly:
"It's okay, I have a disposable cup here, you can use this to hold it."
The parents seemed to realize something and asked, "It's free, can we have any size cup?"
"As long as it's not too exaggerated, it's fine."
The parent glanced at the disposable cup in Hua Lichu's hand and pursed their lips.
This cup is way too small; I bet it'll be finished in two sips.
How can I only drink this little bit when I've gotten such a good deal?
Since the child needs a water bottle to drink from at school anyway, why don't we buy one?
Just then, a gasp came from next door.
"You're not lying? So much stuff, and it's only 3 yuan a serving?"
Hua Antao nodded: "That's right!"
The parents looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl in front of the shop next door holding a transparent bag that was stuffed full.
Inside were not only the cup she desperately needed, but also a toothbrush, comb, towel, and a small mirror.
Hua Antao felt the gazes of those around her and took out another transparent bag from the cabinet:
"Auntie, your bag contains daily necessities, while mine contains school supplies."
After saying that, Hua Antao unzipped his jacket and took out a thick notebook, three ballpoint pens, a pencil, a small pencil sharpener, an eraser, and a set of rulers.
"So much stuff, and it only costs 3 yuan?"
"Yes, whether it's a learning gift pack or a living gift pack, it's 3 yuan each."
Besides that, we also have many other daily necessities in our store. It's free to look around, so if you're interested, feel free to come in and take a look and choose something.
Parents who were queuing for plum juice turned around and went straight to "Sanyuan Store".
Once inside, I was dazzled by the beauty.
Good heavens, ceramic basins bigger than her face, with pretty patterns, only 3 yuan for two!
A bundle of 5 pairs of socks costs only 3 yuan!
and also……
Parents compared the items in the three-yuan store with those in their hometown and found that the items in the store were much cheaper there.
The women, who had been thrifty all their lives, were instantly tempted!
Since we'll need them anyway, I want to buy this and that.
If it weren't for the child behind her wanting to sign up, she could have stayed in the store for half a day!
After shopping, she didn't forget to take out the new cup she bought, rinse it with clean water, and ask Hua Lichu to fill it with plum juice.
The parents who came this time were all from the townships below, and they got up at 4 or 5 in the morning.
After a long and tiring journey with my child, drenched in sweat, a sip of iced plum juice brought only one feeling to my entire body:
Cool!
Meanwhile, the enticing aromas of fried chicken and spicy hot pot wafted into their noses, making their stomachs rumble.
"It smells so good, Mom! What's that? I've never seen it before."
The parents didn't know either, and guessed, "Maybe it's a new food from the city?"
Everyone got up early in the morning and was already starving. Not wanting their children to go hungry, the parents said:
"How about we buy some and try them?"
The child, distressed by the cost, swallowed hard and turned his head to one side.
"I'm not hungry."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the Empty City Stratagem began to resonate in his mind.
The parent counted the money in their pocket, gritted their teeth, and said, "It's okay, let's just buy some to try!"
The vast majority of parents hold this mindset.
In no time, Hua Lichu's four shops were packed with customers.
Later, although the parents were curious, they were frightened by the shops surrounded by layers of people and went straight to the school gate.
At the school gate, Xu Ping held onto his scooter, with his six younger siblings waiting in a row behind him.
Upon seeing them arrive, they immediately stepped forward and asked, "Hello, do you need us to show you the way?"
"Oh? Thank you for your help."
Several children, each with a small wooden box hanging around their neck, rode scooters through the crowd.
Only when I'm really tired and hot will I carefully open the lid of the small wooden box, take out an ice cream, and eat it in small bites.
His expression was one of pure bliss, as if he were consuming a magic elixir.
The parents and children, who were sweating profusely from the heat, couldn't help but swallow unconsciously.
"Little friend, do you have any more ice cream?"
Xu Ping immediately opened the small wooden box: "Yes! Not only is there ice cream, but also lemonade with ice! It's so delicious!"
"Give me two ice creams, and what's lemonade? Give me a glass of that too!"
"okay!"
Having escaped two layers of temptation, the parents entered the office, paid the tuition, and then received a small bag from the homeroom teacher.
Inside the bag, besides a brochure, there was only a plastic fan and a flyer.
The pictures above are of food products from Hua Li Chu Jia's shop.
In short, on this day, whether or not they had visited the pear shop, the parents and children were left with a very deep impression of the shop.
After the parents left, the students living in the dormitory talked most about their anticipation for the new semester, and that was:
Did you buy the "Life Gift Pack" from that "Three Yuan Store" near the entrance?
"I bought it."
That wasn't the end of it. The next day in the classroom, his deskmate also caught him and asked him questions:
"Aren't you using the study kit from the three-yuan store near the entrance? The notebooks in the kit are really good quality, and it even comes with a sticker sheet featuring the hottest TV series right now..."
