A beautiful and wealthy woman from the 21st century becomes a handsome young educated youth in the 1970s. Framed by her hypocritical best friend and sent to the countryside, she relies on her golde...
“Okay, I’ll take this cloth to our new house in a bit, and then I’ll deliver it to my second brother tonight.”
Nobody goes that way from my new house, so nobody will see me!
Zhuang Zhimeng nodded as she cut the fabric.
"good!"
Zhuang Zhimeng cut a total of 24 feet of cloth, mostly cotton, and only cut 3 feet of Vanliting (3 feet = 1 meter).
This is cheaper; the market price for cotton fabric is 0.4 yuan per foot, while varnish is 10 yuan per meter.
"Here you go, it's all cut up. I was thinking that my second brother only needs a pair of crisp trousers for his wedding, and the rest can be made of cotton fabric, so that he won't have to spend too much money!"
An Qingbai looked at the Vanillin cloth and felt it was quite good.
"Yes, this is good. These pants alone will make many people envious of Second Brother!"
An Qingbai didn't leave home until very late at night, heading to his new house. He dawdled for a long time before finally taking the fabric back to his second brother.
An Qingbai knocked on An Qingsong's door.
An Qingsong was waiting for his third brother, and immediately opened the door upon hearing the knock.
"Third brother, come in quickly! How did it go? Did you buy the fabric?"
Before An Qingbai could answer, An Qingsong saw the fabric his third brother was holding and couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh my! I bought it? Haha, great! I'll have new clothes to wear!"
An Qingbai smiled and extended his hand.
"Give me the money! Even brothers need to keep clear accounts, haha!"
An Qingsong rolled his eyes at his third brother.
"Money, money, money, all you care about is money. Do you think I'd shortchange you? Tell me, how much is it in total?"
An Qingbai spread the fabric out.
"Second brother, look at this fabric. Imagine how handsome you'd look if you made pants out of it! This fabric is expensive. This is a meter of fabric, so I'll charge you 8 yuan."
The rest is plain cotton fabric, 21 feet in total. The market price should be 8.4 yuan, but I'll give you 7 yuan, making it 15 yuan in total.
An Qingsong then patted his third brother on the shoulder gratefully.
"Third brother, not bad, you even know to give your second brother a discount. Well, I can't let you suffer too much of a loss, so I'll give you an extra dollar!"
"what ever!"
An Qingsong took out 16 yuan from his pocket and handed it to his third brother, then waved his hand.
"Alright, third brother, you should go back to your room and go to sleep. I need to go to sleep too, because I still need Mom to make clothes for me tomorrow!"
An Qingbai was already used to his second brother's ruthlessness, so he left An Qingsong's room and went back to his own room to sleep.
Two days later, Shi Meiling finished making the clothes and gave them to An Qingsong.
"Second brother, try these pants on. You'll definitely look smart in them. This is the first time I've ever seen this kind of fabric!"
And this fabric is extra thick, so it won't be cold to wear now, and you can even wear it under padded trousers in winter!
An Qingsong's face lit up with a smile as he looked at the dark blue trousers.
"Okay, Mom, I'll try it right away!"
When An Qingsong came out after changing his pants, Shi Meiling nodded repeatedly.
"Great job! My son is so good-looking. Look how different he looks in these pants. He really looks so energetic!"
An Qingsong was quite satisfied with himself and grinned foolishly.
"Hehe, Mom, I feel pretty good too!"
Shi Meiling couldn't bear to look at her second son's silly appearance, so she pointed into the house.
"Change back quickly, don't get your new pants dirty, you need to wear them on your wedding day!"
"Hehe, I'm just showing off a little!"
As he spoke, An Qingsong went back into the house, changed his pants, and carefully folded the new clothes before putting them in the wardrobe.
The day before An Qingsong's wedding arrived.
An Qingsong specifically sought out An Qingbai.
"Third brother, can I borrow your bicycle tomorrow?"
"You bring your younger brother and sister-in-law, then call Mengmeng and Yanxia. You all come with me on bicycles to pick up the bride. We'll have a bicycle convoy!"
"That's no problem, I'll talk to them about it in a bit!"
When An Qingsong got back, he polished his third brother's bicycle until it shone brightly.
An Qingbai went to tell Zhuang Zhimeng and the other two.
"Zhizhi, Mengmeng, Yanxia, let's go with my second brother to pick up the bride tomorrow."
Zhuang Zhimeng and the other two were stunned.
"Shall we go together? By bicycle?"
"Brother An, shall Xiazi and I go too?"
"Brother An, is it appropriate for us all to go here?"
An Qingbai laughed.
"Hehe, that's a good idea. We'll use three bicycles to pick up the bride. Wouldn't that be pretty cool?"
The four of us are basically my second brother's entourage. If it were just me and him, it would be too few people. It doesn't matter who we ask, wouldn't it be better to ask our own people?"
That makes sense, and it seems that using our own people is indeed more suitable, so Zhuang Zhimeng and the other two didn't object.
On An Qingsong's wedding day.
Zhuang Zhimeng and her two companions got up early, tidied themselves up, and came to An Qingbai's house.
Shi Meiling greeted them as soon as she saw them.
"Come and eat! You can pick up the bride after you've finished eating!"
"Okay, thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, Aunt Meiling!"
Zhuang Zhimeng and the other two sat next to An Qingbai and ate breakfast.
Zhuang Zhimeng was surprised that she hadn't seen the person in question.
"Where's my second brother?"
An Qingbai pointed inside the house.
"He went back inside and started messing around with himself!"
An Qingsong had already finished eating and was wearing a big red flower in his room.
He was wearing a military green jacket, dark blue trousers, and leather shoes he had borrowed from his third brother.
He was extremely excited, so much so that he almost laughed out loud several times.
Shi Meiling called from outside.
"Second brother, are you done yet? How long are you going to dawdle like this?"
