Chapter 230 It's obviously just a mouthful
Gu Xiaoxi didn't even look at it carefully. He just poured out the three bags of old clothes and put them all into the second-hand goods warehouse.
The clothes were all those that were too small for her children, or those that were too old and torn to be used for mending, and were mostly made of coarse cloth.
Gu Xiaoxi originally planned to replace all of them with fabrics, but later found that after the trade-in system was upgraded, there were two more options in the replacement options that she had not carefully checked.
One is to convert the material of new items, and the other is to customize the specifications of new items.
After clicking to check it out, Gu Xiaoxi immediately changed the material of the coarse cloth to fine cotton cloth.
Although this setting will reduce the amount of coarse cloth, it is more practical for her.
She had just dyed the cotton fabric using the color palette and designed the pattern before returning to her room when Li Guifen came over with another load of old items.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi was not in the yard, she put down the old things and left again.
When Gu Xiaoxi came out, she saw the pile of used notebooks, old books, broken bowls, and old furniture with missing parts in the yard. She quickly put the things back into the second-hand grocery store.
The yard at home was not too big because a part of it was used as a kitchen. With too many things piled up, the house looked messy.
But when she finished cleaning up, Li Guifen sent her another wave of old things.
"Xiaoxi, I'm going to buy some groceries right now, do you want to come with me?"
Gu Xiaoxi shook his head. "We're not going today. We brought some food back yesterday. We also brought a lot of rice. Sister-in-law, if you need it, I can give you some."
When Li Guifen heard this, her eyes lit up. "Really? How much do you have?"
Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled, "Because my parents will be coming over during the New Year, I prepared a lot. I can give my sister-in-law 30 kilograms each. If you think it's too little, next time I go to the city, I can ask my friend at the supply and marketing cooperative to reserve it for you. It's the market price. If you don't need a ticket, it's 5 cents more."
Li Guifen nodded quickly, "Okay! Great! Then I'll take 30 kilograms. Just enough for a good New Year."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi immediately went into the kitchen and brought her a 30-kilogram bag of rice.
Li Guifen thanked her, gave her the money, and immediately carried the rice back.
Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to close the door and go to the scrap yard, but after looking at the sky, she realized that it would snow heavily and the wind would be strong soon, so she made a fire, killed a chicken, and started making chicken soup early.
Half an hour later, Li Guifen came with Feng Xia, who said she also wanted some rice.
Gu Xiaoxi treated everyone equally and gave her 30 kilograms.
The three of them talked for a while, and then went home to do their housework.
Gu Xiaoxi turned back to the kitchen, cooked rice in the rice cooker, and then picked a basket of vegetables from the small accompanying space.
Because she wanted to try out the space-sealing sticker, she made braised eggplant with minced pork, stir-fried vegetables, shredded potatoes with green peppers, and braised prawns early in the morning.
The space seal stickers are uniformly pasted on the side of the bowl. They are inconspicuous but effective.
The meal was ready, and before ten o'clock, she went to decorate the room where her parents would live.
In fact, during the few days when she was away from home, her eldest brother also bought a lot of things in it.
There were two low cupboards for clothes and two refurbished quilts.
Gu Xiaoxi laid the two quilts together, but felt that they were too small and did not look good together, so he folded them again.
After thinking about it for a while, she simply bought an automatic lock-edge high-speed sewing machine from the exchange mall.
Because the small space is currently cluttered with things like a bed and a jacuzzi, she plans to build another house.
Originally, she wanted to use a system baler to do the work, but later found that there was not enough wood and building a house would take up too much space.
After weighing the pros and cons, she browsed the exchange mall again.
After half an hour of screening, she spent 120 million points and bought a five-star space house.
The appearance of the space house is somewhat like a green tree. There is a beautiful house suspended three and a half meters in the air.
The steps of the house are shaped like petals, and there is a transparent circular terrace extending to the door.
The house doesn't look big, but when you actually walk in, you find that the area is beyond your imagination, at least three or four hundred square meters.
There are doors and windows inside, as well as automatic dimming lights, but no furniture.
After looking around, she found that there were six rooms in the house, and the area of the rooms was larger than she had imagined.
She immediately installed the jacuzzi and high-tech toilet she had bought earlier.
After making sure that the electricity was working properly, she quickly put the bed in place and decorated the room.
Then she set up a workshop and moved the sewing machine in.
In order to test the new machine, she read the instructions and immediately picked out a piece of white fabric with pink embroidery and made two pillowcases.
After cutting the two pillowcases, it took no more than two minutes to sew them front and back.
So, she used a piece of foundation embroidery fabric to make a bed sheet and a 2.4-meter-long quilt cover, and then bought a new quilt of the same size to cover them before leaving the accompanying small space.
As for the two quilts that her brother Guan Ding had requested, she had them resized at a junk store and had a thicker and longer mattress made that would fit the size of a kang bed.
The mattress was laid out, the sheets were pulled neatly, the quilt was put in place, and then I bought a pair of memory pillowcases from the exchange mall to help with sleep and put on the pillowcases.
At first glance, the room suddenly became a lot warmer!
As for the kang bed next door, she brought an extra quilt from her room and put the mattress on it again.
Because grandpa had trouble sleeping and liked a hard pillow, Gu Xiaoxi specially prepared a rice pillow and soaked the rice in the soothing and sleeping incense she had prepared in the Flower God Sea.
While she was carefully decorating the room, Gu Yimin, Jiang Xiuqing and Grandpa Jiang from Huaicheng had already boarded the train to Qingbei.
However, there were also a few annoying and troublesome people getting on the train with them.
After old lady Gu sat down, she massaged her legs while instructing Gu Yimin.
"Second brother, I smelled something fried in your house this morning. You must have fried it and eaten it on the train! It's almost noon now, take it out and share it with everyone!"
Gu Yimin looked at his wife with embarrassment.
The meatballs fried in the morning were actually brought for his creek and river.
Jiang Xiuqing could actually guess what Old Lady Gu was thinking, which was obviously just greed.
She took out a bag of pork fat residue from her bag and handed it to Mrs. Gu, saying loudly, "Mom, this is the New Year's dish we prepared at home. This portion is for you on New Year's Eve. You are spending the New Year at Dali's house, so I'll give you an extra dish."
Old Mrs. Gu nodded with satisfaction. She took it immediately, opened it and started eating.
Liu Chunhua curled her lips and reached out to eat, but Mrs. Gu opened her hand.
"The second family has prepared New Year's dishes. You and Dali must not lose to them."
