Let's leave those aside for now.
Having a car made travel much faster; an hour later, they arrived at the commune where Chen Xiangrong's parents lived.
Even in the commune, it was still a very rare sight for a car to come by.
Even for commune members, the number of cars they could see in a day was less than a handful.
It's even very likely that it won't happen even once.
But today a truck drove in and parked in front of a yard.
This has attracted the attention of many people.
"Engineer Chen, is this a relative of yours?"
A neighbor asked.
Chen Xiangrong's father, Chen Feihong, worked as a technician in a factory because of his technical skills.
Therefore, people are more used to calling Chen Feihong "Engineer Chen".
Chen Feihong and his wife were gentle and polite, and they were also in line with the lives of the people below. At this time, they were also wearing workers' clothes. Although they were washed a little cleaner, they were still old clothes without patches.
Chen Feihong doesn't dare to wear new clothes now, even though he feels somewhat guilty towards his wife and children.
But the safety of the whole family is the most important thing.
Chen Feihong nodded, but his wife was already chatting with the neighbors with a smile on her face, her eyes fixed on the car.
Soon, several people got out of the car, led by Chen Feihong's beloved daughter, Chen Xiangrong.
Although she was dressed simply, everyone who saw her praised her, saying that there was no one more beautiful than her in the surrounding area.
Next up was a handsome young man.
"Hey, Engineer Chen, is this your daughter bringing her future son-in-law home?"
"And you're carrying so many things, are you here to propose marriage?"
That's very appealing.
Aside from a few families with daughters, their partners weren't very good-looking, and were far inferior to Gu Yunyang in appearance.
When they visit, they don't bring so many things from Gu Yunyang.
Although they all look like practical items, they are not very expensive.
It can easily arouse jealousy in others.
Chen Feihong didn't say much, but his wife snorted and said, "Yes, this is my future son-in-law. Oh, Aunt Chen, didn't your son-in-law come over a few days ago? What did he bring you?"
This was clearly a targeted attack. Although Gu Yunyang didn't quite understand what it meant, he immediately realized that this woman must have a grudge against his mother-in-law.
Immediately, Gu Yunyang stepped forward and said, "Mom, Aunt Li's son-in-law must have brought her a lot of things. I'm different; I'm still in university and don't have that much income."
So I only brought you a bolt of cloth today, Mom. I really can't afford that dress. Please don't mind.
dislike?
Look around, who dares to complain?
These days, fewer people go to supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores to buy clothes.
Most people buy fabric, cut it themselves, and make it themselves.
These days, most women have a special skill, such as making insoles, shoes, embroidery, knitting sweaters, and so on.
Making clothes is a skill that many women possess.
Chen Xiangrong's mother was an exceptionally skilled tailor and also knew embroidery.
Immediately, a smile appeared on her mother-in-law's face. She took Gu Yunyang's hand and said, "What's there to complain about? There's nothing to complain about. I'll be satisfied with whatever you bring."
Aunt Li's face looked terrible, as if she had eaten excrement.
"What are you showing off for? As if no one has a piece of cloth at home."
However, it was clear that no one around her would agree with her.
Who doesn't need more fabric?
Even if urban workers received cloth ration coupons based on their wages, it would still be far from enough for a family.
Who doesn't wear clothes for three years when they're new, three years when they're old, and then patched up for another three years?
Looking at the bolt of cloth that Gu Yunyang was carrying, it was definitely enough to make seven or eight sets of clothes.
