Chapter 32: Being ambitious is a good thing
The salesperson smiled and nodded, "Comrade, you have good taste. You only pick the best brands. This dress is considered cheap here. It would be twenty yuan more expensive in Kyoto!"
Mother Lin was a little reluctant.
I touched it again, looked at it carefully, and wanted to say no.
"Wrap it up."
How could Lin Anan not see through her little thoughts, so she immediately made the decision and paid the money!
When Lin's mother heard what Lin An'an said, she quickly grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, "An'an, this is too expensive. Why don't we not buy it? I'm worried about spending so much money. Although it's time to wear new clothes during the New Year, it's not right to spend so much at once."
Lin Anan smiled and held her mother's hand tightly, and gently advised: "Mom, don't feel bad about the money. This dress is of good quality and you like the style. It's the New Year, so you should wear something festive and decent. Besides, this money is given by Mingzhou, and it is also his way of honoring your mother-in-law. You can't refuse it."
Mother Lin shook her head, "No, that won't work. Mom has money. You can keep Mingzhou's money. You will have many other places to spend money in the future!"
Lin Anan ignored her refusal, counted the bills carefully and handed them to the salesperson.
The salesperson's eyes curved with laughter. She didn't expect that the sickly woman in front of her would be so straightforward.
Seeing that the salesperson had already started writing orders, Lin's mother had no choice but to pat Lin An'an lightly, "You kid! Then...then buy it. Oh, I feel uneasy. I have never worn such expensive clothes in my life."
"Mom, don't think too much about it. When you wear it during the Chinese New Year, you will know that the money is well spent."
Lin's mother was amused by her and laughed.
Lin Anan walked around the fabrics again and picked out several types of fabrics at random.
"An An, what are you doing..."
"Buy some cloth."
"Why did you buy the cloth?"
Lin Anan is a person who has never done any housework, and she doesn't know how to make clothes.
"Mom, don't worry about it. Just think of it as me learning how to make clothes."
"But this fabric is so good... You want to learn how to make clothes? No, your body can't handle it."
Lin Anan gave her a soothing look and didn't explain any further.
"This dark brown tweed material is thirteen feet long, this light blue printed cloth is eight feet long, this khaki one is six feet long, and this one with a hidden pattern is nine feet long..."
"By the way, we also need cotton, buttons, zippers, needles and thread..." Lin Anan ordered all the things in one breath.
Fortunately, the department store has a complete range of items.
"Okay comrade, please wait a moment."
Lin's mother and Chu Minglan were both stunned!
Lin Anan bought a lot and ended up spending 147 yuan.
"Comrade, I'll leave the things here with you for now. Can I come get them later?"
"No problem, no problem. I'll give it to you for safekeeping."
It had already been bought, and although she felt bad about it, Lin's mother didn't say anything else. She just advised her not to make it recklessly, and if she really couldn't do it, she could ask the aunts in the compound for help, give them some labor fees, and help make it.
"Mom, I understand. Let's go to the second floor and take a look."
Lin Anan just asked the salesperson and found out that sewing machines were sold on the second floor, and they were the most popular Workers and Peasants and Bee brands.
"An An! You want to buy a sewing machine?"
"Well, it's convenient to buy one, and it will save money to make clothes by myself in the future."
Lin's mother: "......"
Lin's mother didn't know how to persuade her daughter. It was a good thing that her daughter was ambitious, but it depended on the actual situation. With her small body, how could she sit still?
Mother Lin just felt a headache!
So she had 400 yuan on her, and she had to spend it all before she was willing to go back?
Going up to the second floor, it was obviously quieter than the first floor.
The sewing machines on display have a metallic luster under the light and look particularly sturdy and durable.
Lin Anan walked to where the Gongnong brand sewing machines were placed and looked at them carefully. While looking, she asked the salesperson next to her about the functions and features of the sewing machines.
The salesperson patiently introduced: "Comrade, this Gongnong brand sewing machine is very popular, mainly because it is simple, convenient, and cost-effective..."
After listening to this, Lin Anan nodded, then walked to the Bee brand sewing machine and took a look, comparing the appearance and some details of the two models.
Chu Minglan stared with wide eyes, stretched out her hand and touched it lightly, then immediately retracted it, "Aunt, does sister-in-law really want to buy a sewing machine? This sewing machine... we don't have many in our compound."
It’s not that others can’t afford it, but sewing tickets are hard to come by.
No matter how capable the women in the compound are, they cannot cook without rice.
Mother Lin sighed helplessly, "Alas, making clothes is not an easy job. It takes a lot of energy. She is weak to begin with..."
Lin Anan thought about it and pointed at the Gongnong brand sewing machine, "Comrade, I want this one."
The Gongnong brand sewing machine costs only 140 yuan, which is 100 yuan cheaper than the Bee brand.
The configuration and workmanship of the two sewing machines are almost the same.
The Gongnong brand is sufficient for household use.
"Comrade, we still have it in stock. I'll give you an order right away. Just take the order and go over there to pay. After you pay, the sewing machine will be yours."
Lin Anan hummed, "Is this for door-to-door delivery?"
"It's for delivery. Comrade, you are from another place, right? Our department store is the only one in the Northwest that provides this service, because our department store is the only one that has this commercial truck. As long as the place is within half an hour's drive, we will deliver it!"
Lin Anan was happy, and took the opportunity to climb up, holding the ticket and hesitantly said, "Comrade, I also bought some other things, which are a bit heavy for me. If you think it is convenient..."
"It's convenient. What's inconvenient about this? Just bring it here and I'll bring it to you."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Anan smiled and hugged Lin's mother, patted her arm gently, and comforted her: "Mom, look, this sewing machine is a good deal, right? Not only did they deliver it to our home, they also helped us bring other things!"
"You kid."
Buying a sewing machine is a big deal. After buying it, Lin's mother did not want to spoil her daughter's fun. Instead, she praised it sincerely, "This sewing machine is really a good thing. Look how well designed it is. When you don't use it, you can turn it inside out and use it as a small desk. How convenient..."
