Xu Xiuying looked at this, touched that, and wanted them all.
"This hot water bottle is good. It's getting cold. It will be convenient to drink hot water or something."
"This kettle is also good. You can take it with you when you go out to work. When you are thirsty, you can unscrew the lid and drink."
"This bright red pillow cover is so beautiful!"
"These two pieces of material are also very beautiful and festive! My youngest son is about to get married, so it will be perfect to use this to make a new quilt then!"
The more Xu Xiuying talked about it, the more she couldn't stop. She looked at them all and wanted them all.
such a pity!
Not enough money!
Grandma Chen and Su Ruanruan didn't say anything, just sat aside and listened to Xu Xiuying.
Xu Xiuying smashed her mouth, reluctantly touched everything on the kang one by one, and finally made up her mind.
"I want these two bright red pillow covers and these two pieces of bright red material!"
Everything else can wait, but these two things cannot wait.
Xu Xiuying's youngest son Qian Chunlei is twenty-two years old this year, and he is already an older man in the production brigade.
Seeing that one year passed and she still hadn't found a wife yet, Xu Xiuying was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep just thinking about it.
In fact, two years ago, Xu Xiuying planned to marry Qian Chunlei, but who knew that a famine happened to happen at that time.
If you don’t have enough to eat, who has the ability to marry a wife
Families with daughters, at that time, regarded their daughters as cash cows. When asking for betrothal gifts, it was really a big deal.
It was true that Xu Xiuying felt sorry for Qian Chunlei, but there was still a large family at home waiting for food. She couldn't let everyone in the family starve to death just to get a wife, right
I thought it would be okay to delay it for a year, but who knew it would be two years!
It's good now. Their production brigade has a good harvest this year. Her family has a lot of labor and the food is distributed to both young and old. She can finally find a wife for Qian Chunlei if she grits her teeth.
But Xu Xiuying finally felt that she had wronged Qian Chunlei.
I don’t have the ability to get cotton to make a new quilt, but I can still get a new quilt cover!
Granny Chen was not surprised at all by Xu Xiuying's choice.
She and Xu Xiuying have known each other for many years, and they know everything about Xu Xiuying's family.
These two things were prepared for Xu Xiuying.
Xu Xiuying didn't bring any money when she came, so she had to go home to get the money.
There are only so many things, it’s better to get them early for peace of mind!
When she reached the door, Xu Xiuying stopped again and said, "Sister-in-law, can you get some cotton?"
Grandma Chen smiled when she heard this, "Do you want cotton? How much do you want?"
Two quilts require at least ten pounds of cotton, which costs a lot of money!
As soon as she heard Grandma Chen's words, Xu Xiuying knew there was a way and immediately said, "Twelve pounds! Don't worry about the price!"
"Why should I worry about you? Go home and get the money. The things are in Ruanruan's house!"
With that said, Grandma Chen glanced at Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan understood, stood up and walked into her room.
Back in the house, Su Ruanruan pretended to open the kang cabinet, but actually took out a large bag of cotton from the treasure space.
She couldn't weigh it, and she didn't know how much it weighed, but she didn't have enough time, so that was all she could do.
As soon as she put the cotton on the kang, Granny Chen came in with Xu Xiuying.
When she saw the big bag full of cotton, Xu Xiuying's eyes started to shine!
"Sister-in-law, you are not kind! There is still so much cotton! Are you going to stop talking if I don't ask you?"
