Chapter 303 The atmosphere is coming
At six o'clock in the evening, the Yu family had dinner. They had egg noodles for dinner, while others had white noodles, and Bao Pandi had buckwheat noodles.
"Qian Lan, is this cotton-padded jacket on Mom yours?" Yu Qiang asked, looking at his mother's cotton-padded jacket with several patches on it.
Qian Lan nodded and said, "Mom didn't bring Huanxi's cotton-padded clothes, so I dug out my old cotton-padded clothes and gave them to her."
Yu Qiang frowned. How could his biological mother have no clothes to wear when she came to his house and wear his daughter-in-law's old clothes?
This was the fault of Qian Lan, the daughter-in-law. She should have discovered earlier that her mother had no clothes to wear and made her a new cotton-padded jacket.
"Go to town tomorrow and buy some cloth and cotton so you can make Mom a new set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Also, buy some wool so you can knit her a new sweater."
The collar of his fucking sweater is coming loose.
Yu Qiang's tone was not very good, and Qian Lan felt unhappy when she heard it, but she didn't say no.
The next day, Qian Lan went to the city again and bought cloth, cotton, and wool.
She didn't go to Yu Hui next door to ask her to make this cotton coat with a sewing machine, but sewed it by hand herself.
While she was cutting the cloth, Bao Pandi looked at the cloth she had placed on the table and said, "Did you buy too much cloth? This much cloth is enough to make three sets for me."
Qian Lan: "And my parents'."
Since I was going to do it, I decided to make clothes for her parents for the New Year as well and send them back to them after they were done.
When Bao Pandi heard that she wanted to do it for her parents too, he got angry.
"Don't worry, this isn't your son's money. It's my own money."
Bao Pandi's words were immediately blocked. After a long while, he said, "You and my son are husband and wife. The money you earn is not my son's money."
Qian Lan laughed. "According to this logic, the money Yu Qiang earns is also my money. I use my money to buy cloth for my parents to make clothes, so there is nothing to say."
Bao Pandi: “…”
In January, the weather became even colder, but Gu Dong still had to get up early every day to go to school. They would not have a holiday until around January 20th.
When they don’t have to go to work, Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei play with their children at home every day and knit sweaters.
The two of them want to knit a sweater and trousers for each of the three elderly people in their family.
Gu Hongmei is very familiar with the sizes of the three elderly people in her family, so she doesn’t have to worry about the clothes she knits being too small for them to wear.
These days, Yu Hui has been asking Gu Huai to get cloth coupons, planning to buy more cloth when she goes back home for the New Year, so that her brothers and sisters-in-law can use the cloth to make clothes.
There are too many people and their sizes are unknown. If they buy ready-made clothes or have clothes made and take them back, and they don’t fit, it will be troublesome to alter them. It would be better to take the cloth back and let them make them themselves.
However, for the three old people, they can make a good one and take it back.
It was another Friday. Gu Huai returned home in the snow. Seeing that the kitchen light was on, he went straight into the kitchen and stood in front of the stove where beef was stewing to warm himself by the fire.
"Are we having noodles tonight?" he asked Yu Hui who was standing at the counter cutting noodles.
Yu Hui glanced at him, nodded, and said, "We'll have braised beef noodles tonight."
This is the last bit of beef.
"Did you get the cloth coupons?" Yu Hui asked.
Gu Huai patted the pocket of his military coat and said, "It's all in the bag. Don't worry about me."
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I always trust you to do things."
"When does your vacation start? When are we going back?"
Gu Huai: "It's settled. I'll be on vacation starting February 1st. It's a ten-day vacation. We'll go back on the 2nd. We'll drive back. The 4th is Chinese New Year, so we'll be back before the 10th."
Yu Hui nodded and had no objection to the schedule.
It was cloudy on Saturday, but it was sunny on Sunday. Gu Huai had Sunday off, so he drove into the city with his wife, children and sister.
This time I went to the city mainly to buy cloth and other New Year's goods.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the city is obviously much hotter than usual, and there are many people buying New Year's goods on the streets.
Gu Huai parked the car in front of the state-owned store, locked the door, and then went into the store with Yu Hui.
A new batch of cotton clothes from the south has arrived at the counter selling children's clothing.
When Yu Hui heard this, she took the children to the counter selling children's clothing.
There were a lot of people in front of the counter, most of them were bringing their children to buy new clothes for the New Year.
The clothes are not expensive either, most of them are only about twelve or thirteen yuan each.
Yu Hui bought a cotton coat and a pair of cotton trousers for each of the three Gu Dong brothers.
Beibei didn't buy it for her. Firstly, it didn't look good, and secondly, there was no size for her. It would be better to buy the cloth and make it for her.
The three brothers who bought new clothes were very happy. They held their new clothes tightly and said they would keep them until the Chinese New Year.
Passing by a men's wardrobe stand, Yu Hui stopped and said to Gu Huai, "Let me buy you a new set of clothes for the New Year."
Gu Huai, who was holding Beibei, looked at her and shook his head, saying, "No need for that for me. I'll just wear my military coat."
He has two military coats.
"A military coat is not new clothes. We should wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Let's take a look." Yu Hui said as she pulled Gu Huai's sleeve and walked towards the ready-made men's clothing counter.
There were far fewer people in front of the men's ready-made clothing counter. Yu Hui glanced at the clothes hanging on the wall, pointed at a dark gray wool coat, and turned to ask Gu Huai, "How about this one?"
He has broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs, so he will definitely look good in this long coat.
Salesperson: "We only have ten of these coats in the city. This is the last one. It's an extra large size, perfect for your man."
Gu Huai is not fat, but he is very strong, so he still has to wear larger sizes for clothes.
Gu Huai had never worn this kind of coat before, so it was hard for him to imagine what he would look like in it. He felt that this kind of coat should be worn by a gentle young man, and it didn't seem suitable for a rough guy like him.
"It's not appropriate for me to wear this," he said.
"You're a natural clothes hanger, and anything you wear looks good on you." Yu Hui blurted out, thinking that Gu Huai was being self-deprecating. A coat wouldn't even suit his figure, so what kind of figure would be suitable?
The salesperson looked at Gu Huai and said, "Your wife is right. You look good in anything with your figure."
Gu Huai lowered his head and felt secretly happy. Xiaohui thought he had a good figure.
"Can I try it on?" Yu Hui asked.
"Of course." The salesperson took the coat off.
Yu Hui took Beibei and asked Gu Huai to take off his military coat to try it on.
Gu Huai took off his military coat, let Gu Dong hold him, and put the coat on.
He straightened his collar, looked at Yu Hui uncomfortably, and asked, "How is it?"
Yu Hui gave him a thumbs up, and the atmosphere of the male protagonist in the Korean drama Double-Door Refrigerator came to her.
Seeing his young wife giving him a thumbs-up, Gu Huai smiled happily.
"How much?" Yu Hui asked the salesperson.
"One hundred and twenty."
Yu Hui: “Let’s issue the tickets.”
When Gu Huai heard that the amount was one hundred and twenty yuan, which was almost his monthly salary, he quickly took off his coat.
"No, it's too expensive. I don't want it."
Yu Hui turned her head and glared at him. "Why is it so expensive? It's not like I can't afford it."
A young man looked at Gu Huai with envy, "Brother, your wife is so good to you. I wanted to buy this coat, but my wife wouldn't let me."
The corners of Gu Huai's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and he felt that he was indeed very blessed.
