There are also school bags and pencil cases. Thinking of letting Li Le go to school, I quickly memorized these things. Here are men's sweatshirts and vests. Well, help Li Huan get two pieces.
Thinking that the weather would turn cooler after the autumn harvest, I collected cotton sweaters and trousers for a family of four (counting myself as the Li family). The cotton sweater cost RMB 5.46 each, and the cotton trousers cost RMB 4.58 each.
This whole outfit cost more than ten dollars. No wonder she had never seen the Li family members wearing cotton-padded shirts and pants in her previous life. This life was different. Everything that was necessary must be present.
When Qiu Min came out and saw Cheng Qiao's lavish spending, she didn't know whether she should persuade her or not. Four sets of cotton-padded sweaters and trousers cost a little over 40 yuan, and the sweatshirt and vest together cost more than five yuan.
These things require cloth coupons. If you don't have cloth coupons, a set of cotton-wool shirts and trousers will cost fifteen yuan on the black market. They are good things that are hard to find even if you have money.
"Sister Qiu Min, here are the books and pencil case. I have a little girl at home. I will enroll her in school after the autumn harvest."
"Well, we should buy this. The tuition is not expensive anyway. We can also buy some pencils, notebooks, erasers, etc., which are all things we need for daily study."
Qiu Min quickly took the schoolbag down from the wall, dusted it off, and took a pencil case, pencils, notebook and eraser from the counter.
Li Huan felt so warm inside when he saw Cheng Qiao buying this and that. Although there seemed to be a lot of things, very few of them actually belonged to Cheng Qiao. Most of them belonged to their Li family.
Qiu Min secretly glanced at Li Huan and was worried about Cheng Qiao. To buy these things, not to mention the receipts, the money would be at least over 80 yuan. Which man would tolerate such a spendthrift woman
But Li Huan not only did not say anything, but also pointed at the vanishing cream, lipstick and other women's things on the counter and said:
"Cheng Qiao, take two boxes of that vanishing cream. Your skin will become dry and cracked when it's cold. Applying a little vanishing cream will make it better. Also take a few more boxes of this clam oil. You can apply it on your hands or feet."
"And this lipstick, it will be a happy occasion when you put on it at your wedding. This piece of cloth, you can buy it and make a little... That dress will also be nice to wear."
Li Huan always remembered that night when he saw Cheng Qiao's little clothes. The material was soft and the color was light. He fell in love with it at first sight. When he saw the cloth of the same color and fabric today, he would definitely not let it go.
Cheng Qiao blushed, she thought of the same scene and stepped on Li Huan's foot calmly. Although Li Huan felt the pain in his foot, he smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.
Li Huan's performance made Qiu Min extremely envious. If her future man could also pamper her like this and accompany her to buy things, how happy she would be.
"Cheng Qiao, your partner is really good to you. Let's see if you want to get married."
"Well, we plan to get married after the autumn harvest."
"Really? You have to tell me in advance when you've set a date, and I'll come to your wedding."
"Oh, okay, I'll definitely tell you."
Li Huan started working as a porter again, hanging large and small packages on the handlebars and crossbar of his new bike. In short, except for an empty space for Cheng Qiao to sit, all the places where things could be hung were filled.
I rode my bicycle to the state-owned restaurant. The fat waiter took the money and ticket with an expressionless face. His voice was cold as ice and he was very frugal with his words.
"No, next one."
"Fatty, it's me."
"Cheng Qiao, why are you here today?"
Cheng Qiao smiled and handed a bag of peach cakes to the fat waiter, then pointed at the dishes on the blackboard and whispered, "I want one of each, and two servings of sweet and sour pork ribs, I'll take it away."
The fat waiter smiled and nodded, then started to use the abacus skillfully, collected money, and issued invoices. He went to the kitchen himself and handed the tickets to the chef.
This time, Cheng Qiao took out five lunch boxes. There was at least one box of such lunch boxes in the grocery store, so taking a few lunch boxes was not a small matter. However, she did not see Li Huan frowning slightly as he looked at the lunch boxes.
After dinner, Li Huan calculated the time and took Cheng Qiao to the cinema. An old movie "The Female Pilot" happened to be showing today, and Cheng Qiao was so engrossed in the movie that she almost forgot to eat the snacks in her hand.
When they returned to Xiangyang Village with their bags, the educated youth center had already fallen out. It turned out that Chai Jianmin's quilt was missing. After searching for a long time, they finally found it in the corner of the toilet.
The toilet was such a dirty place. Not to mention the filthy things, even the smell was stale. So when Chai Jianmin threw the quilt in the yard of the educated youth site, everyone covered their noses with their hands.
"Where's Cheng Qiao? Let her come out."
Chai Jianmin looked at the female educated youth standing in a row with red eyes and asked viciously.
"Cheng Qiao went to the county town. Why are you looking for Cheng Qiao?"
Han Chunmei mustered up the courage to speak.
"I want to ask her why she left my blanket in the toilet."
"How do you know it was Cheng Qiao who lost it? Do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Yuefang muttered softly.
"That's right, the doors of your male educated youth dormitories are all locked, how could Cheng Qiao get in?"
Xiaoqin also muttered something in a low voice, then stood back, as if she was worried that Chai Jianmin would hit her.
Chai Jianmin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Guangrong: "Captain, who among us male educated youth was the last to leave?"
"I, do you suspect I did it?"
Qian Longkun said coldly, and the look he gave Chai Jianmin was extremely cold.
"I didn't say that, but I have to ask for clarification when something goes wrong."
"What's there to ask? Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. If you have evidence, just show it to us. If you don't have evidence, then stop talking nonsense here. No one owes you anything."
Qian Longkun said loudly, then looked at the female educated youth and asked who would cook today. She was almost starving to death, yet she was still standing here watching the show.
When the female educated youth noticed Qian Longkun's gaze, they all went about their business. Jiang Guangrong also turned and left. He was so tired that no one cared about his quilt.
Chai Jianmin gritted his teeth and told himself to calm down. It was obvious that the quilt was lost by Cheng Qiao, but Cheng Qiao did not have the key to the men's dormitory, so it was Qian Longkun who helped Cheng Qiao lose it.
"I'm back."
Cheng Qiao's cheerful voice appeared at the door of the educated youth site, and all the educated youth went out. They wanted to see what Cheng Qiao had brought back.
"Who's going to cook today? Here, two big pork bones. I managed to get them with great difficulty. You can make soup and noodles with them."
"Cheng Qiao, you are amazing. I will cook today, give it to me."
Xiaoqin quickly took the pork bones, and Xiaoping also helped to fetch water, wash vegetables and make a fire.
"Xiaofang, take the egg cake you asked me to bring."
"I really bought it. Thank you. Here, I'll give you one."
Xiaofang happily took the egg cake and stuffed a piece into Cheng Qiao's mouth.
