She really has no shortage of clothes to wear now. Although she seldom buys clothes in normal times and only has two pieces of clothes that she switches back and forth, as the largest shareholder of Li Jiuniang's clothing brand, Li Jiuniang will send her a few pieces if there are any good-looking, classic clothes, or clothes that Li Jiuniang thinks are suitable for her.
So Tian Tian has quite a lot of clothes, but she feels very comfortable wearing old clothes. Although the new clothes have nice styles, they are generally made to be stiff for the sake of those styles, and are not very comfortable to wear, so she rarely wears these new clothes.
Wu Juan had already coaxed the two children to sleep and was preparing to go to bed herself. Lin Meixia had brought back clothes from Lin Meiyu and was happily trying them on in the room. They were both startled when they saw Tian Tian enter the room.
"Tian Tian! Is there anything wrong? Why are you here so late?" Wu Juan asked as she got off the kang and put on her shoes.
"I'm here to give Sister Wu Juan a piece of clothing. This clothing was also given to me by a friend. I feel that Sister Wu Juan should be able to wear it, so I gave it to Sister Wu Juan to try and see if it fits!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
Wu Juan was somewhat flattered. "Why did you bring the clothes over? I can wear these clothes. I'm just afraid that I'll embarrass you if I go to the provincial capital!"
"What's there to be ashamed of? My husband's family and all my friends know that I am from the countryside. I don't need to bother with those who don't know my identity. What's wrong with being from the countryside? The Chairman once said that workers and peasants are one family. I am a countryman and I earn my living with my own hands. I don't steal or steal. What is there to be embarrassed about?" Tian Tian said.
"I was thinking of bringing you a set of clothes to change into. The ride will take a whole day and a night. No matter what you wear, it will smell like rotten linen when you get off the bus. You won't be able to wear that set of clothes anymore. So I brought you a set of clean clothes."
After hearing what Tian Tian said, Wu Juan did not insist on refusing. She smiled and took the clothes. "Then thank you in advance!"
"Put the clothes on and try them on. Does it fit you well?" Tian Tian urged.
Their figures are very different. Tian Tian is a little fatter, while Wu Juan has a slender figure. After she became pregnant and gave birth, she did not gain weight, but became thinner than before.
Tian Tian had worn this dress before, and it was a little tight, but seeing that Wu Juan was now thinner than before, Tian Tian didn't know if it was suitable for Wu Juan.
Wu Juan obediently changed the clothes. As expected, she looked fatter in them. The whole dress was like a big sack, rattling on Wu Juan's body.
"This dress is still a little too big, but it looks good on Wu Juan!" Lin Meixia commented.
Wu Juan has a pretty appearance, so she would look better if she were thinner. This light blue shirt makes Wu Juan look very fair and sets off her even better. Although the clothes are a bit baggy, it doesn't matter.
"Here is another coat. Although it is a little big, it doesn't matter. You can just wear it when the time comes. This coat looks much better than just a shirt." Lin Meixia took the coat beside her and put it on Wu Juan, saying.
Today's suit jackets are loose-fitting, and although Wu Juan looked fatter when she wore them, they also made her look a little more fragile. Lin Meixia didn't know how to describe it, so she could only say that it suited her very well.
"Thank you, Tian Tian. This dress looks good on me, but what are you wearing when I wear this?" Wu Juan asked.
Tian Tian didn't want to tell them that she had a lot of clothes at home, as it would be like showing off, so she could only say, "Don't worry about what you wear. I'll just wear what I'm wearing. Besides, my grandmother has prepared a red dress for me. On the wedding day, I'll wear that red dress instead of this one."
She wore a dress on her wedding day, and she would not wear a suit like this on ordinary days. She would rather wear comfortable cotton clothes.
"Then I won't be polite with you." After hearing Tian Tian's words, Wu Juan calmly took the clothes.
Tian Tian came here mainly to give clothes to Wu Juan. Now that she saw Wu Juan had taken the clothes, she went back to her room.
They packed everything in advance, including meals for the next morning and food for the train.
So the next morning, after they had a simple meal, they put the luggage they had packed yesterday on their backs. After waiting for Chen Guihua, Tian Yun and others to come, the whole family squeezed into the ox cart and set off for the county town.
They also thought about taking a bus to the county town, but later found that they didn't have enough time. They were ready to set off at around five in the morning, but the bus didn't arrive until around eight o'clock, so they finally decided to take a ox cart. Although it was a little more crowded and slower, it was at least reliable.
After they arrived in the county town, they went to the train station.
When we really got on the train, everyone was very excited. Except for Tian Tian, Gu Zhao, and Tian Yun, the rest of the people had never been on a train before.
Originally, Gu Zhao bought sleeper tickets for Tian Lisong, Old Lady Tian, Tian Lilin, Lin Meiyu, Chen Guihua and others.
Since sleeper tickets were hard to buy, the rest of the people all bought soft seats, which are actually pretty good and comfortable to sit on. Plus, their trip was not very long and soft seats were more expensive so not everyone would buy them, so there wouldn’t be too many people in the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Lin Meixia and her son, as well as Wu Juan and her two children were added to the group.
Because they were added at the last minute, when Gu Zhao went to buy tickets, he couldn't buy soft seats, so he could only buy hard seats for them.
To be honest, the current economic conditions are definitely better than a few years ago. Many people buy hard seats. The seats are very crowded, there are all kinds of smells, and it is quite uncomfortable to sit for a whole day and a night.
It was inconvenient for Wu Juan to sit in the hard seat with her two children. Tian Lisong originally wanted Wu Juan to stay in the soft sleeper car, but Wu Juan felt that Tian Lisong was her elder, and it would not be good for her to occupy someone else's soft sleeper, so she refused. In the end, Gu Zhao let Wu Juan stay in his soft seat, and Tian Yuan also gave his seat to Lin Meixia.
Less than half a day later, their original curiosity about trains had largely disappeared. The constantly shaking carriage, the complex smell inside the carriage, and the crowded seats all made it difficult for them to adapt.
Lin Meixia's two sons looked annoyed. They sat together, next to an old lady holding two chickens.
There are too many people carrying chickens, ducks and geese on the train at this time, so this kind of thing is very common on the train. People with a conscience will pay attention to whether the chickens and ducks they carry will disturb others. People without conscience will think, anyway, they are allowed to carry them on the train, so it’s none of your business how I carry them.
This lady was obviously a person with a conscience. She was worried that the chickens she brought with her would disturb the tree roots and grass roots, so she moved the chickens to the aisle.
However, the unique smell of the chicken still made Tree Root and Grass Root frown. The old lady looked at the disgusted expressions on their faces and smiled embarrassedly.
Gu Zhao and Tian Yuan were sitting at the roots of the tree and grass, opposite each other. Seeing this scene, Gu Zhao turned his head and said a few words to Tian Yuan, who nodded.
Gu Zhao stood up and said to the old lady, "Auntie, why don't you sit next to me? It's a bit crowded for two grown men to sit together. Besides, I'm not used to walking backwards and I feel a little carsick. I might feel better if I sit next to you!"
The old lady also heard that this was Gu Zhao's excuse to switch places with her. She looked at Gu Zhao gratefully and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, young man!"
"It's okay!" Gu Zhao helped the old lady put the bag containing the two chickens over.
The tree roots and grass roots looked at Gu Zhao and thought he was meddling in other people's business, but they didn't dare to confront him and just rolled their eyes silently.
"Auntie, where are you going?" Putting the chicken next to the aunt, Gu Zhaoshun asked.
"I am going to my son's home in the provincial capital. My wife is about to give birth. I will bring a chicken or two to nourish her body and take care of her during the confinement period!" The old lady's face was full of smiles as she considered her son and daughter-in-law.
"Your son and daughter-in-law are all in the provincial capital?" Gu Zhao was a little surprised.
Judging from the way this lady is dressed, she should be from the countryside. It is quite difficult to cross the class barrier nowadays. For people like Tian Tian from the same village, it is already difficult to move from the village to the county town. This lady's son and daughter-in-law went straight to the provincial capital, which is even more difficult.
"My daughter-in-law is from the provincial capital. She used to work as an educated youth in the countryside in our brigade. Later, she married my son. When the college entrance examination was about to be resumed, she went to take the examination with my son and daughter-in-law. Both of them passed, so they went to university together!" The old lady boasted proudly to Gu Zhao.
Her son's admission to university is her greatest pride in life. But she also has to thank her good daughter-in-law. Before that, they would never have thought that their son would be where he is today. This is also a blessing for their family.
"Then your daughter-in-law and son are both amazing!"
The aunt was even happier when she heard Gu Zhao praising her son and daughter-in-law.
