No matter who is the buyer, as long as he pays, the store should sell the bike. After all, the more bikes sold, the more subsidies you can get.

The store manager Voronov came over quickly.

"Girl, do you also plan to buy two cars?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Voronov motioned for his men to follow him and pushed aside the two cars she had chosen.

He continued to say to the girl: "I hope you will think about it again. This is not a place for a girl to joke."

"Huh? Are you worried that I can't afford it?"

"No! That's not what I meant."

Unfortunately, Voronov's attitude made Natasha feel that she just couldn't afford to be worried.

"It's nothing." Natasha shrugged, "I'm just a girl. It's unbelievable no matter how you think about buying two expensive things with a thousand rubles. Don't worry, comrade, I brought enough money.

." As she spoke, she patted her bulging crossbody bag.

What else could Voronov say about this?

"Since you insist. According to the latest order, the price of bicycles will be increased by 20%. Perhaps you have already inquired about our previous quotation. Now, the price of each bicycle has increased to six hundred rubles."

"What?"

Although the price increased by one hundred rubles, Natasha could not take it seriously based on her financial ability. After all, it would be September 30th soon. On that day, her military rank allowance and other allowances would total up to

A huge sum of more than 3,000 rubles has to be paid into the due accounts again.

The Soviet Union did not treat its heroes badly.

But she was once so poor. Before the war, she had one hundred rubles in her hand, and she felt that she could live on this money for more than half a year.

Now you have to spend money like water?

It took a lot of mental struggle for her to manage to pay a huge sum of money to buy a bicycle without getting scared. Now that she heard about the sudden price increase, she felt that the store manager was targeting her and trying to persuade her to quit.

Now Natasha hates being looked down upon stupidly.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Six hundred rubles? The total is twelve hundred rubles. No problem. Fortunately, I brought enough money."

After saying that, Natasha opened her tightly sealed crossbody bag and took out three bundles of Chervin bank notes that smelled of ink.

"Each bundle contains one hundred cards, and the three bundles total fifteen hundred rubles. If you still feel that the money is not enough, I will go to the bank to get it right away."

"This...enough! Completely enough."

To be honest, when Voronov saw these three bundles of money, she knew they were the latest printed banknotes she had withdrawn from the bank. It has been more than a year since the war broke out, and the reason why the price of bicycles has increased twelvefold is that there are of course various civilian products.

Another major reason for the policy-based reduction in production is the three huge bundles of money in the hands of the girl. The country has printed too much money, so that price committees in various places must give the working class a skyrocketing wage level. For many commodities, prices have increased significantly.

Increase prices and ultimately strive to reach a balance.

Are wages and prices balanced? Not at all! How can they be balanced?!

The only thing that can make the people feel at ease now is the stable "potato rationing system". As long as there is no famine in the rear, anything can be said.

As the war continued, the Soviet Union resumed the rationing policy that had been discontinued in 1935. The Soviet people who entered the wartime rationing system had very few places to use banknotes. Similarly, the number of goods that could be purchased with banknotes

Not to mention, the price is absolutely exaggerated.

All of this is to counter the economic war waged by the German army. The so-called Soviet Union has returned to the wartime policy of Lenin's period. Therefore, Germany printed a bunch of fake Chervin bank notes, and the effect it can achieve is minimal. What Germany can achieve in this regard

The "results" are indeed very small. The speed at which they print counterfeit banknotes is not as fast as the Soviet Union's printing of real banknotes.

However, Germany's "counterfeit currency strategy" has had a big impact on the British economy. It requires manpower and material resources to identify counterfeit pounds. The British authorities lacked this ability during the war. At the same time, the British also adopted the wartime rationing system in an all-round way.

, and even clothing factories and tailor shops, their use of cloth has been severely restricted. The "counterfeit currency strategy" has not crushed the British economy.

Natasha took out a dazzling huge amount of money, which scared all the staff in the bicycle shop, and even scared Jill.

Gil Ivanov, he had never seen so much money in his life.

So, is it really appropriate to accept Natasha's gift?

While the staff was meticulously counting the banknotes, Jill leaned next to Natasha and made sure to speak clearly today.

"Natasha, your gift is too expensive."

"Oh? Don't you like it?"

"Of course I like it. I have wanted to replace my old car for a long time. My father is very opposed to this. I didn't expect you to help me."

"As long as you like it." The girl smiled and said, "I told you that I want to give you a gift, and this is it, a bicycle. Just take it as a return gift for you to give me a pen."

"Ah? But the value of the two gifts is too different."

"Is it a lot?" Natasha shook her head, "Comrade squad leader, think about it with your smart mind. Before the war, a pen and a bicycle were basically the same value. Do you think you took advantage and I suffered a loss? I don't think so.

.”

Not to mention, Gil just felt that Natasha was losing money on buying a bicycle. He didn't expect that the girl's answer had some strange logic.

"Okay, since you insist." Jill shrugged: "Thank you for the gift. Ah, if possible, I really hope to invite you to my home."

"Hey, are you going as a classmate?"

Gil hesitated for a moment, thinking in his mind that it would not be impossible if he went there as his wife in a few years. Of course, he did not dare to express his long-cherished wish on this occasion, so he kept saying: "Of course. We are very happy."

A good classmate and a good friend. Obviously my father also pays special attention to you and intends to give you some help. He will definitely be very happy if you meet my father."

"Really? Maybe take it slow. I heard from my classmates that the pen you gave me actually belonged to your father. It is really an honor for me to have a person I have never met care about me so much. Maybe, I really should

I should go to your house at a suitable time and thank your father."

"Okay!" Jill never expected that her presumptuous request would be fully supported by her. What does this mean? It's really imaginative.

After paying a huge sum of money, Natasha only had three hundred rubles and some kopeck coins left in her pocket. She also received a bicycle.

Things don't end here yet.

Natasha felt that she needed to see the old Ivanov, not only because the uncle gave her the pen, but also because of the uncle's great help in buying a bicycle for her.

Because of the uncle's coordination behind the scenes, he was proud to successfully obtain the latest spot. Likewise, he also contacted the nearest police station.

Jill put the old car on the bicycle shelf for the time being, and together with Natasha, they pushed their respective cars to the police station to make important registrations.

For Natasha, she only needed to submit her student ID card and apply for a bicycle license very smoothly. The same was true for Jill.

Needless to say, there was also the help of contacts provided by old Ivanov, which made the matter between the two of them handled extremely smoothly.

The north wind blew across the land, and taking advantage of the last light of the day, Gil rode his new bicycle and hurried home happily.

He also rode side by side with Natasha for a while, and was satisfied to see that the girl was riding without any obstacles.

Jill is like a happy bird. What she did to herself today, isn't this the release of love? Next, she intends to come to her home as a guest.

The progress of their relationship is truly amazing.

In any case, Gil is a big boy now. He intends to go home quickly, show his parents the new bicycle he got, and proudly declare to them that he has the love of the girl.

Gil did indeed do this. This time he did not put the new car directly downstairs, but carried it directly to the second floor.

This move made him famous among the neighbors. Someone asked him, where did your car come from? Gil said without hesitation, it was a gift from my lover.

His lover?

Since Gil's mother Ivanova is very willing to chat with the neighbors about family issues, the relationship between her son and a transfer student from Moscow is becoming more and more close.

Something to be proud of.

Ivanova, who got off work early from the factory, had already cooked tonight's soup and was waiting for her husband to come back from the post office cafeteria with boiled potatoes and a few slices of bread. She made some extra meals to prepare for the important event in the afternoon.

beloved son.

She never expected that Aiko would break into the house carrying a brand new bicycle.

When Ivanova, who was carrying a spoon, saw her son with a glowing face, she did not say any greetings, but asked in great surprise: "Jill, where did this car come from?"

"Ah! Mom, I was just about to tell you about this. This is a gift that girl gave me."

"Girl? Is it her?!"

"Yes! That's my classmate, Natasha Petrovna Halkova. I took her to buy a bicycle today, but I didn't expect that she would give me one. I had no idea that she was actually very rich."

Ivanova's mind was a little confused after listening to it. She was confused for a while and then said: "There is no need to carry the bicycle upstairs. That's fine. Your father will come back later and let him take a good look at it to see if his future daughter-in-law loves him more than him."

My own son."

Jill laughed innocently, waiting for her father to return and be startled.

Everything developed exactly according to the imagination of the mother and son. As soon as the returned old Ivanov arrived at the entrance of the lobby of the building, someone congratulated him.

"A bicycle? Gil carrying a new bicycle upstairs?"

Regardless of his aging body, old Ivanov climbed up to the second floor in a few quick steps. He hurried home and saw his son playing with the new car. After a brief negotiation, he was surprised to understand that his son actually accepted the new car.

A gift from a girl.

He especially heard what Jill said: "Dad, I never thought she was so rich."

Yes! She is Speroskina herself. Pravda has always emphasized that she killed 403 invaders at a young age and had a record of destroying tanks with anti-tank weapons. For such a hero, Moscow gave her one million rubles
