The two brothers didn't drive either, so they locked the door and came out to walk along the road.

Zhang Yanming spent several years in Ruer in his dream, and was very familiar with this place, including the overall urban development and economic status later.

There are tall buildings on both sides of the wide road, but the truth is often hidden behind the tall buildings, and every big city is like this.

Turning over the tall buildings and walking in the narrow branch road, there are old residential buildings and large bungalows. The road surface is not very good, with pits and bags, debris and garbage everywhere, and dirty water will be poured on the road at will.

This is the real nineties.

There are all kinds of small shops on the side of the road, crowded together, tall, short and messy brands, but it looks like a sense of intimacy. This is the true face of life.

"I'll buy a box of cigarettes." Zhang Yanhui pulled Zhang Yanming and walked to a small shop on the side of the road.

Zhang Yanming followed.

Zhang Yanhui likes to smoke Honghe and purple bags, and Zhang Yanming also bought a box. He doesn’t smoke heavily, and he can smoke a pack of cigarettes for a few days, and he doesn’t choose any flavor.

"Don't you feel like the price is lost when you smoke?" Zhang Yanhui asked half-truely.

"What's the difference? Anyway, it's all lit and smoke. Besides, the cigarette itself is similar, and the famous brand has nothing to do with the cigarette itself."

"Oh, it's quite fragrant." Zhang Yanhui sniffed and turned his head to search.

There were many small restaurants here. The two brothers casually found a family to go in for dinner, and then ran to Taiyuan Street to take a walk.

It took a long time since the two brothers got together to eat, slept and go shopping. As soon as they became adults, they became involuntarily. Time was always squeezed and even the people closest to them gradually drifted away.

When he visited ZTE, Zhang Yanhui said he wanted to buy two suits.

I don’t know when the suit has become the standard outfit for civil servants, and the higher the level, the higher the level, the more you go, the more you are. People below can wear casually and exercise, and you can’t see it when you go up at the city level.

There is indeed a big difference between cheap and expensive suits. From the shape of clothes to the workmanship of stitches, the comfort and fabrics of wear are different, which forces these civil servants to buy good and expensive ones.

In this era, a better suit starts at 1,500 yuan, and 3,000 yuan, and 7,000 yuan is considered to be so interesting. When buying a suit, you have to wear leather shoes, belts, shirts, and watch lighters. This outfit costs tens of thousands, which is not a high-end one.

In 1998, the monthly salary of a department-level civil servant was 1,800 yuan.

Like Zhang Yanhui, he used to be in the Scorpiongou Health Bureau, and he was treated as a deputy department. He counted everything in a month for more than 1,100 yuan.

During this period, the salary standard for civil servants was lower than the salary standard for state-owned enterprises and the average social wage. For example, in 1993, the basic salary was uniformly adjusted to 180 yuan, while the civil servants were only 90 yuan during the same period, and it was not until 180 yuan in 1999.

Then we have to consider the usual expenses, family and children, and human relationships. How do they rely on to live? Wherever they go, they have to consider their face and identity.

This is the main reason why the social state of the 90th generation is like that. You have to think about it deeply. You can’t just look at the surface. What should you do if you don’t eat or get a card or not? It’s all forced, and no one can do it, you can only think of a way by yourself.

This is not to mention that some public institutions do not care about the finances at all, and rely on their own profits and losses. This is also a legendary thing. Just like the car management and car sanitation system, they don’t even have a salary if they don’t go out.

...

"This one doesn't work, it's lighter and not solemn."

Zhang Yanming shook his head and looked at the sample hanging on the wall: "That one, those pieces are OK. Are all the ones open to the back?" he asked the salesperson.

"There are some people who are breathing on both sides." The salesperson replied with a smile: "This one, this one, and these two more."

“Do you provide cutting here?”

"Some, on the second floor, in the bathroom, the trouser legs are changed, buttons and zippers are all there. You take the receipt and it's free."

Zhang Yanming looked at Zhang Yanhui: "How about you buy a few more sets and change them. This one needs to be dry cleaned. It takes a long time to wash clothes now."

There is already a dry cleaner now, but the time is very slow, so it will take more than a week to wash a suit. I don’t know why.

Zhang Yanhui is not under economic pressure. He has shoes, belts and other shoes in his own store. He is not good at speaking, and it is quite awesome wherever he goes in China.

"Then buy a few sets, all dark colors?"

"Shallow ones are not suitable for you. They are too jumpy, and the dusty ones will look dirty after wearing them for a long time."

The salesperson said, "This light gray suit is very suitable for him to wear. He has good skin and looks energetic."

Zhang Yanhui raised his eyebrows proudly at Zhang Yanming.

"He wears his work clothes, which is equivalent to his work clothes. The color is light and not serious. You can wrap a few sets of those with the opening on the back. These sets of dark colors are all needed. Is it sure to change them on the second floor?"

"If you can change it, just take the receipt." The salesperson was about to smile on his face, and he went to issue the invoice quickly, for fear that he would regret it if he was too late.

Suits have just become a trend in this era, and are considered to be relatively high-end clothing, with thousands of moves, and ordinary people really can't afford it.

I turned it over and turned it over and over and over and picked up the color. I bought five sets for more than 20,000 yuan.

I took my clothes down to the second floor and found the cutting service counter, and handed over the receipt and clothes.

The eldest sister looked at the ticket: "Five sets?"

"Well. I have to change the cuffs and pants lengths." Everyone has different arms, hands, legs and legs. If they don't modify them according to the actual size, they will be uncomfortable if they don't wear a suit, and it will be nice to wear them when they are worn out.

But there is no way. The domestic suit customization was not gradually gaining popularity until 10 years later. It was still popular but not popular. The main reason was that the price was too high and it hurts to slaughter it too much.

Ordinary people or businessmen wear suits without removing the trademark, and they just wear them, swaying their long sleeves and illuminating the trademark. They feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at it.

"I've gotten off work now. I've been delayed today. Why don't I leave early? Come again tomorrow. You'll have some time to get all five sets."

"You measure it first, I will put my clothes on you. I will come to get it after get off work tomorrow night. OK? I don't have time during the day."

The eldest sister looked at the five sets of clothes and was a little hesitant. It was more than 20,000 yuan. If it was lost and dirty, her annual salary would not be enough.

"Just write me about the clothes on this post and you, okay? I'll give you another 200 yuan in processing fees, so you can give me some fine snacks." Zhang Yanhui paid 200 yuan and handed it to his elder sister.

"Okay." After a long ideological struggle, the eldest sister still couldn't resist the temptation of two hundred yuan, so she nodded and responded.

My elder sister seems to be an old tailor. She not only measured the length of arms and legs, but also measured the width of shoulders and hands, measured the waist and bust circumference, and drew a human shape on the notebook a few strokes and marked the size.

"Do you still use these?" Zhang Yanhui asked with his arms wide open.

"Your clothes are expensive, I'll do it for you. Otherwise, you don't wear them properly and spend that money in vain. You young people are really willing to do it." The eldest sister felt a little sorry for Zhang Yanhui for the money.

"Thank you, I'll come to you next time."
