Have a piece of fashion

The vicissitudes of the world, the change of stars, the development and progress of society are changing with each passing day, but chasing fashion and catching up with the trend is only set standards in change, and people's pace of chasing the wind has not stopped. Not long ago, I accidentally found a friend who had not been seen for many days, and I brought a very fashionable Vacheron Constantin watch on my wrist, which was very beautiful and made me, a person who likes watches, envious. Maybe out of the pendulum, maybe knowing that I like watches, I want to open up. He handed over the watch, let me admire, while opening the conversation box for science popularization: Vacheron Constantin, one of the world's most famous watch brands, founded in 1755 in Geneva, Switzerland, is the world's oldest and earliest watch manufacturer, and one of the world's most famous watch factories. Vacheron Constantin has inherited the essence of Swiss traditional watchmaking....
A burst of mouth like a hanging river, there is a great sense of riding the dust, so that I am in the clouds, unable to interject. I really couldn't hold back, unceremoniously interrupted his "speech", "The watch is a good watch, how much is the price?" The friend smiled and said, not expensive, a hundred thousand! I was so shocked! Not expensive yet? Yes, friends entrust the party's good policies, rely on the bright mind, in the business sea for many years, can be said to be "not bad money" of the kind, of course, do not care about this little money, love the heart of beauty everyone has, spend some money, play luxury goods, catch up with the tide, happy body and mind is not impossible?
Playing fashion, catching the tide, not only the world of young people, but also has little to do with age. It should be just hobbies and personalities. There is no denying that young people are mainstream. Sometimes the plate shape of a piece of clothing, the style of a bag, the logo of a pair of sneakers, the brand of a watch, the reputation of a mobile phone, the strength of a sports car, etc., may become the followers of the times. We have these desires and thoughts when we are young. The feeling of not being eager to have a stylish thing is like yesterday, vividly remembered.
When I first joined the work force, I was in a period of low material scarcity and personal income. Young people have advanced concepts, do not have many worries, often do things and think of simple problems, and the pursuit of fashion has become an instinct. Whether it is what you eat and wear, as long as you think it is right, you don't look ahead and look back, and you won't think about the consequences. The most personal and avant-garde thing is to wear it. What kind of wear, to deserve to have fashion, may be incredible today, may make people laugh off the teeth. Reality subverted your perception, and that was it at the time.
A grass-green military uniform, or more simply, with a military hat and a military satchel, can stand up to a very fashionable. "The sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning", I hope that the objects I have must be authentic, and I can only enter the stream after looking through the military uniforms and hats marked with the green number of a certain factory. However, after all, genuine military uniforms and military supplies are limited, most of them are imitations, and some are very "cottage", there is no need for you to look through to confirm, from the cut waist, stitches, and colors, a look at a glance. Even if it is such an unpopular cottage, it is still full of grass green. Imagine, if you don't have a dress, a military hat straw or a military satchel grass green makeup, then you must be a "non-mainstream" figure, not a contemporary young person. As for friends, there will definitely be very few, and the society will look down on you.
In addition to military uniforms, there is also a workwear that is also labeled as fashionable. This jacket-style overalls are special. To say that the special is not limited to the personnel assigned, but also to the specific context in which "the working class must lead everything". The distribution targets of this kind of work clothes are usually state-owned enterprises, and even collective ownership is not qualified. Moreover, it must be the units of the mining, machinery, manufacturing, oil sector that have this benefit. Usually, this kind of overalls is mainly a top, and the pants are not popular. Clothing fabrics are called "labor cloth", in fact, it is the kind of "jeans" fabric equivalent to what is now said. This kind of tooling, which is called by modern people, becomes more and more attractive the more it is washed. It is conceivable that the units that wear these tooling are either rich or expensive, and are not only the master layer of "leading everything", but also the "iron rice bowl" of the country, and they are all majestic on the road. If there is such a work uniform, I don't know what others think, but I will definitely look up to others. I've also chased such fashions. I have a brother-in-law who is engaged in business in Yibin 799 Factory and got one for me through connections. Although it is not pure new, the color after washing is just right, and it is considered to have been wet after people!
The past is like a song, and it is still delicious to think about. Shortly after I went to work, the small tube pants that swept the country also blew into our countryside, and my heart was also dry, trying to get a small tube pants to. There is such a mantra as widespread, brother brother, there are not many clothes, only beautiful, not hot. Ridicule to nothing, in fact, there are not many clothes, but parents and sisters for, or quite critical. Unable to stop the style, unable to suppress the desire, I secretly put a new pair of pants that I had recently played at the sewing club, and I had to find a friend to change it into small tube pants for me. The strange eyes of the family members, I flashed away, as little as possible to appear in front of them. Wearing it out and going to class is a real "feat." But feats meet reality, and the result is fiasco. I was working as a township grain steward in a commune, and that year the county party secretary was staying in the commune. Just in the spring ploughing test model "deep ditch high box" planting seedlings, the county party secretary took the lead in planting in the field, and the rest of the leaders rushed to the field. My little tube pants and a pair of snow-white pull-back sneakers stood on the ridge, looking out of place. It's not going down either, because the pant legs are too small to roll up. No less nor, awkwardly standing there. Originally, my makeup was like a flood beast in their eyes, and now people caught the handle. Vaguely listening to a leader sour said, Xiao Yang, your white shoes are dirty, can your pants legs still be rolled up? The audience laughed and I blushed to my neck. However, I was not convinced, and when I stepped on my shoes, I didn't care about the small tube pants, and I went down to the field, which caused a burst of laughter...
Despite dealing with farmers, there has been no change in the pursuit of fashion. Just joined the work, the salary is about 16 yuan per month. With a salary of 16 yuan, after the food group bought a meal ticket and a meal ticket, the remaining money was not much. Of course, you also have to catch the tide, buy this and that kind of dress, and lay the foundation for finding a girlfriend. I have a great wish, that is, to buy a watch, one is to go to the countryside early and greedy, sometimes I don't even know the time, buy a watch to see, practical. The second is to be proud. At that time, the watch had been included in the roster of "three turns and one ring" for talking about marriage, and I bought a watch to pack it to see if it could attract the attention of the girl. Of course, the most critical is the second article. You see people who have watches, walking on the road, to roll up the sleeves of the hand with the watch slightly, consciously expose the table, and reflect the identity of the rich. Moreover, no matter what the occasion, you have to keep raising your hand to look at the watch, which is also a different and noble manifestation. It's exciting to say, but it's hard to put into action. Do you have to earn a few yuan a month, I don't know if you can afford to buy that Shanghai brand watch in the Year of the Monkey? The price is not cheap, 120 yuan. There must be a road before the car to the mountain, and the boat to the bridge is naturally straight. At that time, there was a kind of "hit meeting" that seemed to be specifically for me to buy a watch. It is one person who pays a piece of money, collects it by one person, and rotates it in turn until it is finished. What a good idea. Actively join the meeting, and when I should collect the membership fee, the money received is not enough for the previous arrears. The ideal is very full, the reality is very bone, not just talking. Later, with the support of my sister, the wish was realized.
When I bought a watch, I couldn't hold back the joy, I loved it, and I often raised my hand to look at the watch, and as a result, people caught the joke that teased me and said that I was a bit "two hundred and five". No matter what others say, it still attracts the favor and envy of others. One of my buddies said to me that day that he hoped I would lend him a watch to take with him for a few days, and he played a girlfriend and was going to see the mother-in-law, and it would definitely be a bonus to bring the watch. When it comes to this, I am so embarrassed. Borrow it, as if it were my love. Don't borrow it, it's a marriage affair. Seeing that I hesitated again and again, he proposed a supplementary treaty, paid rent, took a watch for each day borrowed, and paid 2 dimes. I also silently, and then calculate, two corners a day, two pieces in ten days... Okay, deal. outcome......
The results are hard to look back on! A month later, my buddy disappeared with my watch and gave me double the rent of 12 yuan as a fine. As for the watch, he vowed that he would have money to buy it and pay me back in the future. To this day, I still haven't seen my Shanghai brand watch returned.
The price of a fashion, a fashion story, but I really have it, although I have regrets, I have never regretted it. 2022.3.11.in Chengdu
