A successful purchase of a big sack of wool socks at a low price. A diary note.
After the morning wellness activities, I went to one of the Rostov markets (bazaars).
It was about plus 8 degrees Celsius outside. Given some circumstances, I was dressed warmly, even with some redundancy. ("A Siberian is not the one who is able to tolerate the cold, but the one who is warmly dressed" - this truth is widely spread in the people's consciousness; I am not a Siberian, but Siberia is a matter of pride, so it's nice to think from time to time about Siberia).
About ten years ago, I discovered a model of wool socks that is convenient to use when using sports shoes, and, in general, under the weather changes in times of autumn, winter and spring. I usually bought them at wholesale prices, with stock. Having bought a significant number of these socks the year before last, it was only this autumn this year that I discovered that stock of such socks was threateningly decreasing.
I had a premonition of a successful purchase.
During a trip to the market, I saw the bright shining numbers: "65-10", and took it as a favorable sign.
When I arrived at the market, I took out an unused pair of socks with a branded label (this pair of socks left over after my purchase the year before last), showed them to local people, and almost immediately found a seller ready to sell similar socks to me at a super-wholesale price.
After learning the super-wholesale price, I realized that it was lower than the price at which I bought similar socks the year before last.
Without expecting it from myself, I bought a big polyethylene sack of such socks (quite bulky and weighty one), paid off and went towards the exit out of the market. Additionally, I tried to purchase trousers of a comfortable model. Sellers knew about this model, but it was not on sale.
I headed my home with a big sack of socks. I had to go with a transfer.
When I reached the bus stop I needed (there was a student dormitories area nearby), I saw three people: two girls and a human with an elegant figure, with a hairstyle (vaguely resembling that of one of the French women-singers), with a doll's face, with earrings in ears and with a lot of tattoos.
In front of this graceful figure with a doll's face and with earrings stood a quite pretty (undoubtedly) girl with a bright blush on her cheeks.
The third figure (a girl) was about the same age as the whole company (about 20 years old), but some details of her appearance and behavior (a paper notebook with notes and others) made it possible to suspect her involvement in the advertising business.
All three were without hats, they were dressed in jeans, T-shirts and sleeveless vests (on sintepon: of demi-season, autumn type).
By the time I arrived at this bus stop, a pretty girl was partially immobilized: an elegant figure with a doll's face and earrings put on a pretty girl, - over girl's hands, - this girl's vest and fastened it. Thus, the movements of the pretty girl's hands were partly immobilized.
The graceful figure with a doll's face and earrings did not stop there. The graceful figure took off the own vest, remained in a T-shirt, and put on the own vest over the previously worn vest, but such a way that the second vest was fastened on the back of a pretty girl. The pretty girl's hands were almost completely immobilized.
Taking advantage of this circumstance, the elegant figure with a doll's face was hugging and kissing the pretty girl, and this girl was blushing, - in a more and more charmingly way (responding with rare counter kisses).
The third girl (with a notebook) was standing next to this couple, then moved aside, looking at advertisements - pieces of paper glued to something.
I placed the big transparent plastic sack with wool socks at the bus stop, on a bench, and was looking into the distance, trying to see the bus. Accordingly, this whole company of three people came into my field of vision.
I was trying to understand the gender of the graceful figure with a doll's face. As a result of my reflections, I came to the idea that this is a guy. I must say that tattoos, earrings, hairstyle, and clothes - everything was in a some harmony and was directing an external observer to the impression that this was a fashionable, original person (a person from the "another world"; - the person of an elite? inaccessible? exclusive? carefree? beautiful? attractive? world). His graceful physique added a charm to him.
The third girl, after examining the advertisements, again approached the cute couple and began to examine the tattoos placed on the skin of the guy. I took a closer look, too. Some were in English. The tattoos were placed in different directions - not horizontally, which made them difficult to read. But I managed to read one: it seemed to be the text (in Russian) "don't wake me up."
Something like envy (to this gentle spontaneous magnificent performance of mutual feelings) woke up in me, and I thought, "He charmed her with his tattoos."
The partially immobilized pretty girl was turning in different directions. It seemed to me that there was surprise in her gaze: "Is this happening to me?". I'm not sure I read the expression in her eyes correctly.
The partially immobilized pretty girl began jokingly running in circles (around the bus stop), to run away to the side, expecting that an elegant guy with earrings would run after her and catch up with her. He was trying to bring her back into his huggings, but he did not show any particular desire to running (in the sporting sense of the word).
The third member of the company (girl) has gone somewhere aside
A petite girl with an extremely pale face, slightly swollen eyes, loose blond hair (without a hat), dressed in a light jacket with sleeves appeared at the bus stop. She was looking at her smartphone with the gaze of a human who had just got out of bed, who had not yet fully woken up.
At last, a bus appeared and pulled up to the bus stop. I looked back: only me and a sleepy girl with a smartphone came up to the front door of the bus. With the words "you, mademoiselle, come in - forward," I waited until she entered the bus. After my words, the girl discovered an unexpected frolic (energy) and ran as fast as possible deep into the bus.
I placed the big sack of wool socks so that it wouldn't bother anyone, and looked around. It turned out that the company of two girls and the elegant guy (with earrings and a hairstyle similar to that of one of the French women-singers, well-known in Russia) was also standing nearby. The vest returned (came) back to the guy. It seems that the pretty girl put on her vest in a normal style (without her hands fixation).
After a while, a guy (with tattoos) came out the bus, a little later - a pretty girl, and in five minutes more - a third girl (with a notebook).
At some moment, I (from the bus) saw that the numbers "5000" flashed in red and yellow. I thought that my premonitions had not deceived me, that, as I had anticipated, I had made a profitable purchase: even if I had to carry a whole big sack of wool socks through city streets and buses.
When I got home, I started changing clothes. After the thinking for a second, I opened the big sack , selected a pair of socks of the right size from it, and put them on.
The first half of the day was quite successful. Tomorrow seems to be a little warmer. At morning it will be clear what the weather will be like.
