Sister-in-law Guan bought the seasonings, left the shop, and went to the cloth store to order cotton for one tael of silver.
... This is really not the case anymore. You must know that cotton is light. Although it is expensive, one tael of silver is already a lot. At least it is enough for the whole family to buy a new cotton-padded jacket. The adults can also have a few kilograms left over to supplement. Got it!
I spent another four yuan to buy some repairs. The housekeeper and his family didn't care too much. They just asked Aunt Rong for some cloth if someone's clothes were torn and needed repairs in which room.
After coming out of the cloth shop, Sister-in-law Guan took Brother Guan and Brother Guan to buy brown sugar, ordinary sugar, osmanthus sugar, longan, and added some dishes, rapeseed, pastries, dried fruits, etc. Several jars of wine, Spring Festival couplets, lanterns, a vat of oil, incense candles and firecrackers...
A bunch of stuff and so on.
It’s so complicated and full of stuff, it’s so good that even two grown men, Guan Erge and Guan Chixi, were stunned.
They, their family, buy so many things? !
And how can their family afford so many things? !
The second sister-in-law Guan was also dumbfounded. She bought it according to the list that Aunt Rong told her and discussed with her family in advance. Who would have thought that after buying it, there would be such a large amount! ! !
In previous years, the housekeeper was too poor to spare any money, so he only wanted food and clothing during the New Year. I have never bought so many New Year's goods, okay! !
Especially since they had three babies this year, they decided to buy some fruits, such as apples and pears. These fruits were shipped from other places. Because they were heavy, the freight was expensive and they were not sold cheaply.
However, Ye Lulu said that when the baby grows up and can eat complementary foods and other things, it is best to eat some apple puree.
It is also best for children to eat more fresh fruits.
So I bought it.
Sister-in-law Guan then went to buy other odds and ends, such as adding some needlework and buying a few bunches of red candied haws.
After buying everything...
Sister-in-law Guan and the others finally went home with piles of things, their faces flushed and excited!
Because there were so many things to buy later, the grain stores and cloth shops had to send waiters to help them carry the things and follow them to their homes.
The second brother Guan and Guan Chixi were full of things, and their hands and shoulders were not empty. They tried their best to bring the groceries they bought. The second sister-in-law Guan was not idle either, and they returned home panting.
I underestimated. I have never bought so many things before. I underestimated the number of people. Guan Chibei should be called again!
Renovation workers are working in the housekeeper, and the fence has been built. It has been getting colder and colder these days. It is extremely cold in the mountains. Only the housekeeper is working on it, which feels a little hotter.
Guan Ersao and the others entered the door and felt relieved when they saw the wall. They unloaded their things. The grain store clerks who followed them had bitter faces. They carried the grains up the mountain. Guan Ersao also asked them to put their bags away. in the yard.
After counting the goods, the guys who delivered them to the house went back down the mountain. Sister-in-law Guan loosened her bones and started calling people: "Come here and help me order something!"
The ones staying at home today were Guan Chibei and Guan Dad. He walked out of Ye Lulu's house. Guan Ersao was busy instructing the brothers: "Carry the grain into the miscellaneous room in the backyard. Yes, remember not to put it in the kitchen." , a fire on the stove in winter is too warm for fear of insects... "
"Sugar, dried fruits, pastries and cakes are all placed in the cabinets in the mother's house. The mixed room is too messy... The spices are placed in the jars in the kitchen, the dishes are placed by the stove, and the rapeseeds are also placed in the mixed room, Spring Festival couplets, lanterns, etc. Firecrackers, incense and candles are all placed in the hut... "
