With an extra seven taels of silver in his hand, Chen Xiaomi spent a little more generously. He went directly to the clothes store and bought a bolt of high-quality cotton cloth for one tael of silver.
After buying the cotton cloth, Chen Xiaomi spent another 50 Wen on some needles and threads. In the cloth shop, the price of ready-made clothes is more than double that of cloth, so buying cloth is more cost-effective than buying ready-made clothes.
After buying the clothes, Chen Xiaomi went to the pawnshop again and bought two old quilts.
The quilt is a good thing, whether you cover it yourself in winter, or remove the quilt to take out the cotton wool and stuff it into your clothes, it is all right.
After Lu Lin arrived at Chen's house, he had been sleeping on the door panel. Chen Xiaomi thought that Lu Lin would rather die than marry, and he didn't take Lu Lin seriously.
Seeing that Lu Lin has done a lot of work recently, he has changed his view of this person again, thinking that he should live a good life.
The weather is getting colder and colder. In previous years, when winter came, he would put on all his clothes, wrap animal skins and quilts to deal with it. This year, it might not be so hard.
When Lu Lin saw Chen Xiaomi buying the quilt, he knew that the other party should be for him, but Lu Lin had other ideas. It is said that there will be a lot of snow in winter here, so Lu Lin thinks it is better to build a kang.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin and said, "After you go back, you can find a grandma in the village to help make clothes."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Okay!"
Lu Lin thought to himself: There are many poor people in the village. After the autumn harvest, they should be free. At this time, if they pay a few copper coins, they should be helped. Who would have trouble with money? It's not easy being a countryman. His reputation should be better than Chen Xiaomi's, which is probably why Chen Xiaomi entrusted the matter to him.
After Chen Xiaomi spent a lot of money on a piece of cloth, he went to buy some salt, rice, noodles, dishes, and shoes...
After buying almost all the miscellaneous things, Chen Xiaomi bought two bunches of candied haws for the two little ones in the family.
The shopping was almost done, Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin set foot on their way home.
"Brother, there are so many things!" Chen Xiaocai said excitedly.
"Yes!" Chen Xiaomi secretly felt a little guilty. He spent a lot of money today, and he accidentally spent nearly two taels of silver. After thinking about it, Chen Xiaomi felt that some money cannot be saved. Only when you are full and warm are you able to earn money.
…
After Chen Xiaomi returned home, she thought about who to ask for clothes, and after thinking about it for a while, she decided on Grandma Shen.
Grandma Shen is also a poor person. Her son died three years ago when she was drafted into the army. The grandma and the little twin, Shen Chi, depended on each other for life in the village.
Grandma Shen has three acres of land in her hands. Although her life is a bit more difficult, she can live on anyway, just hungry and full.
Lu Lin didn't hesitate to send the whole cloth, but cut a quarter and sent it to test the water first.
There is not a lot of cloth, so we still have to be careful.
When Shen Chi came back dragging the firewood, he happened to see Lu Lin.
When Lu Lin saw Shen Chi, he once again sighed that the children of poor families were already in charge of their families. In this village, Chen Xiaocai was not the only child who was suffering. Many children started doing housework at a young age.
Lu Lin and Shen Chi greeted each other and left.
Shen Chi hurried into the room and said, "Grandma, why is Lu Lin here? What is he doing here?"
Grandma Shen smiled and said: "Good thing, Chen Xiaomi is good at hunting, but he doesn't do needlework. Although Lu Lin is married, he is a man and he can't needlework. Let me Help me make some clothes."
Grandma Shen said with a smile: "A set of clothes for adults is 30 Wen, and children are 20 Wen. At least it can subsidize some."
Shen Chi nodded, "Oh", "How did Lu Lin find you, grandma?"
Grandma Shen smiled and said, "I don't know!" It stands to reason that such a good thing should be for her own people, but depending on the days Lu Lin lived, this Buzhen was going to enter the Lu family's door, I don't know who wore the clothes.
Shen Chi hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think Brother Lin seems to be different."
"What's different?" Grandma Shen asked.
"It seems to be more energetic." There is an acre of Shen Chi's family and Lu's family next to each other. When Shen Chi goes to the field, he can always see Lu Lin, but Lu Lin always keeps his head down and doesn't like it. Talking, but seeing Lu Lin this time, I always feel that the other party's complexion has improved a lot, and he looks energetic.
Grandma Shen smiled and said: "People in the village say that Chen Xiaomi is not good, he is a wolf cub. If you want me to say, Chen Xiaomi is not bad at all. Lu Lin probably wants to get rid of it."
If Chen Xiaomi is really ruthless, can she take care of her two younger brothers like this? If those old Chen family members are too aggressive, how could it be so
Grandma Shen's house is also relatively remote. The old Orion who helped Chen Xiaomi is next to her. Grandma Shen has seen Chen Xiaomi come to give things several times, and she knows that the other party is a kind person, so this clothes making business, It was also a pleasure to pick up.
Shen Chi nodded, and said, "I also think brother Xiaomi is pretty good."
Grandma Shen squinted her eyes and said, "If it wasn't for that godly old lady of the Chen family who forced her son into the mountains, it wouldn't be like this."
Shen Chi touched the cloth in his hand, and said with some surprise: "This is fine cloth!"
Grandma Shen nodded and said, "It's a good cloth, it should be very comfortable to wear."
Such a big piece should cost a lot of money. Grandma Shen immediately felt that Chen Xiaomi was amazing! With a dowry of twelve taels and so much money, Lu Lin has picked up a treasure.
