There are seven catties now, that's enough.
In fact, the eldest and the others still have a big quilt of seven catties, but starting this year, both the eldest and the second child have to sleep next door, and the third child can also come to sleep with her and Zhou Qingbai.
So their brothers also needed it, and Zhou's father and Zhou's mother had to do something else.
Once the matter between Mian and Tubu was settled, Lin Qinghe came over to look for her old acquaintance.
This old acquaintance is the retired female worker Lin Qinghe knew before, and he met when buying meat. She made the quilt that she married Zhou Xiaomei before.
"Big girl, where did you buy these catties of cotton, so good?" The old lady said with bright eyes.
"On the black market, if you want, I'll give you a signal, and there are some more over there." Lin Qinghe said.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look later." The little old lady nodded.
"You can make a quilt for these seven catties of cotton, and I will come to you to pick up the goods in half a month." Lin Qinghe said.
"It doesn't take half a month, you can come and get it in seven days." The little old lady said.
Lin Qinghe and her are already old acquaintances, nodded in response, and whispered: "Next time I can bring you some meat for the auntie, how much do you want?"
"If you have you, bring me more, no matter what the meat is." The old lady hurriedly said after hearing the words.
"Okay." Lin Qinghe responded.
The people at this time are still simple, and the old lady also does this, not afraid of her ignoring her things, unless she doesn't want to do it.
However, with Zhou Xiaomei's quilt last time as an example, Lin Qinghe still had some trust in her, and the quilt last time did an excellent job.
Since the old lady left, Lin Qinghe came to the mall to buy wool.
She plans to knit another vest and sweater for Zhou Qingbai and his three sons. There is no need to make new clothes. The ones from last year are still new.
But after thinking about it, I bought a little for Father Zhou and Father Zhou, which is enough for the old couple.
After buying wool, I came to the supply and marketing agency to buy some other supplies, so I didn’t leave any more, and rode back to the village on a bicycle.
"Did you buy cotton?" Mother Zhou asked when she saw that she had brought a bag of wool back, and there was no cotton.
"I bought it, but I asked someone to make it. It's not so fast. I'll get it in a few days." Lin Qinghe said.
"Will it be unreliable?" Zhou Mu couldn't help but said when she heard this.
"Nothing is unreliable. The quilt I gave Xiaomei last time was made by this person." Lin Qinghe said.
Then I divided some out from that bag of wool, enough to make two sweaters, and said to Zhou's mother: "This is for mother, you and father. I'm going to knit for Qingbai Dawa and them. It's busy, mother. You take it back and knit it yourself."
"Make a quilt, and buy wool back." Zhou Mu said embarrassedly.
"Take it back." Lin Qinghe didn't say this to her, set aside and started to prepare lunch.
Lunch is simpler. She grabbed a handful of fungus and soaked it in the morning before going out. Now it's soaked.
A plate of cold fungus, a plate of eggplant minced meat, and a tomato egg drop soup will be done.
The staple food is white flour buns.
Although the dishes are simple, Lin Qinghe is willing to add oil, whether it is cold fungus or minced eggplant, it is very fragrant.
It's for dinner.
After eating at noon, Lin Qinghe began to command the eldest baby brother a few yarn balls.
The eldest brothers also complained: "Mother, you haven't bought anything to eat in the past this time."
"This time, I bought a lot of cotton for your grandfather Xiu Xiu to make quilts, and we have to knit another vest for you, which cost a lot of money." Lin Qinghe said.
It did cost a lot of money, especially the things on the black market, which are really expensive.
"Does it cost a lot of money?" Erwa asked.
"That's for sure, the money in the pocket is almost the same. I'll wait for the team to split points this year. If they are split, I will buy you a pack of toffee back to eat at the end of the year." Lin Qinghe said.
"So poor." Sanwaren Xiaogui sighed loudly.
Lin Qinghe couldn't laugh or cry: "Our family is not poor."
"You can't afford sugar if you are not poor?" Sanwa said.
"Isn't this to show filial piety to your grandfather, so our family can only live by shrinking clothes, dieting and tightening belts." Lin Qinghe said.
"Does our family still have money?" asked the eldest child.
"Although it's not much, but it's a little bit." Lin Qinghe nodded.
"Mother, don't worry, I will try my best to get admitted to the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University!" The big baby said seriously.
"What is the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers?" Erwa asked.
Sanwa also looked at his elder brother.
"That's the university. Once you go to university, you will be able to go to work, and then you will be able to make money." Dawa said.
"Where did you hear this news?" Lin Qinghe raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
She naturally knows that the Workers' Peasants and Soldiers University, this year is 1971, and there will be Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the 1970s, and it enrolled students in June last year.
Lin Qinghe still wanted to take the test, but what about the three children in the family and their father
Also, at this time, the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University does not mean that you can take the exam if you want to.
It is impossible for her, a lazy person who has never been to the ground, to pass the review, so even if she knows that there is a University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, then she would never have the chance.
But I didn't expect that the brat, the big baby, would know.
"I heard from the teacher that Dad is a soldier, he has credit for him, and our family is a poor lower middle peasant, with excellent composition. If I have good grades, I can be recommended to enter the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers!" Looking at his mother seriously, said.
"It is indeed possible." Lin Qinghe nodded.
She is definitely not able to pass the test, but the eldest baby can indeed, even if there is a mother like her, but his father is there.
And what's wrong with her, she doesn't steal or snatch, just can't live a little bit, her son won't be unable to be recommended because of her.
But this is also to encourage and encourage the eldest baby, how old he is now, when he grows up to that time, the college entrance examination will be restored.
When the time comes, just go to the college entrance examination with her directly, do you still need to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University
But it is still to be encouraged.
"Daddy, then you have to work hard. It is indeed a bit difficult for our family to rely on your father as a man. You have grown up, and it is time to contribute to the family." Lin Qinghe said.
The eldest baby stood tall and said: "Don't worry, mother, I will win honor for you, and honor for our village!"
Yes, if it can be admitted, it will also win glory for the village and the team.
"You are so happy for you to be a mother." Lin Qinghe nodded and said, "You can go to study after you finish your work."
Studying is to study hard, but the work that should be done is still to be done. She will not let her son only read the sage books and do nothing else.
