Chapter 299 - 288: New Beginnings
The weather gradually warmed up. In the morning, Qin Xi and Li Xianglu both rode bicycles to work, each on their own bicycle, with Xiao Xin sitting in the back seat of Qin Xi’s bike. The alley across the street was the community primary school, very close, yet the naughty kid insisted on riding their bicycle to school.
By May, the capital had already gotten hot, and many people wore blue thermal underwear with white stripes directly to work, which Li Xianglu thought was quite an eyesore, considering its popularity in future generations.
At least in the future, it was made in the form of sportswear, but now everyone was wearing real thermal underwear, essentially underwear.
At this time, synthetic textiles had just come out not long ago and were very expensive, while cotton was cheaper. Sister Xing’s family was from rural Beihai, and their hometown was best at weaving those coarse cotton bed sheets and fabrics.
Li Xianglu used some Foreign Exchange Vouchers to exchange for four large pieces of coarse fabric from Sister Xing to make shorts and sleeveless vests for the whole family to wear and sleep in during the summer, which were cool and snug but a bit rough.
Spring had begun, and there was still a bit of chill in the air. Li Xianglu wore a pink shirt inside and a blue cashmere cardigan on the outside, while her pants were the black polyester ones issued by the bank, which were somewhat airtight, but it would be troublesome to change pants at the bank.
Although the bank officially opened at nine, they all reported for work at half-past eight, arrived early, and started organizing things so they could start business as soon as the gates opened at nine.
At this time, not all seals were made of rubber yet; the bottom layer was rubber and hand-carved, while the handle was a piece of wood that was easier to grip.
Since ancient times, whether it was the old ticket numbers or now banks, all transactions were handled and operated by individuals who would stamp their own seal, even on the kraft paper used for bundling deposits.
After half a month of internship, Li Xianglu had already become familiar with the storage business, and now she was assigned to continue learning on the official accounts side.
