Only after returning home did Wan Qingliu and Hua Xuguo finally relax.
Hua Xuguo sighed, "It's so tiring to go out."
Wan Qingliu: "Yujiao, help us boil some water for a bath."
Zhou Yujiao saw that the two of them looked exhausted, so there was no need for Wan Qingliu to say anything because the water was already boiling.
"Mom, the water is almost boiling. Xu Guo, your clothes are ready too. You can wash them properly in a while."
While the water was not yet boiled, Hua Xuguo took out the gifts he bought for his family.
He smiled and took out the silk shirt he bought for Zhou Yujiao. He specially picked the white one.
I was afraid that Zhou Yujiao wouldn’t like it if I bought something too bright because the villagers would gossip about it.
It's too dark and looks old-fashioned.
The white color is just right and looks very generous.
"Oh, there's more!" Hua Xuguo suddenly remembered that when he was shopping with Wan Qingliu, he found a shop selling wool.
When Wan Qingliu saw them, he immediately bought a lot of them, including knitting needles and balls of yarn.
Hua Xuguo also bought some and brought them back to Zhou Yujiao.
He bought two dresses with doll collars for Hua Wanchi and Xiao Youzi. They had some patterns on them and looked pretty good.
The old man glanced over and hummed.
"Not bad, you even remember to bring something back home."
After saying that, he glanced at her again and again.
Hua Xuguo immediately smiled and said, "Dad, you are indispensable."
He took out a sweatshirt with the words "Unity is Strength" written on it in large letters.
The old man was very happy when he saw it.
He immediately smiled and said, "Wash it quickly, I want to wear it next time!"
It is not popular to wash clothes before wearing them at this time. After all, most clothes are made by yourself, so how dirty can they be? But Wan Qingliu feels that it will be itchy if you wear them without washing them.
From then on, everyone got used to washing new clothes before wearing them.
After that, there was no shortage of fabrics at all. I could wear new clothes anytime and didn’t mind the slight wear and tear from washing.
The old man was curious: "Didn't you say you were going to buy some goods? Why didn't I see it?"
Wan Qingliu: "I've left them all at my parents' house. I'm planning to set up a stall in the county town to sell them!"
"Even at your age, you can still make a fuss." The old man sighed.
Of course, he is sixty years old and most people are starting to enjoy their retirement, but Wan Qingliu is still struggling.
Hua Xuguo asked, "Mom, when are we going to the county town to sell it?"
Wan Qingliu was full of energy: "Let's go tomorrow!"
This trip to Guangzhou was very fruitful, and she now had the money to discuss cooperation with Widow Wu and Hua Ziqiang.
The next morning, Hua Xuguo set off with Wan Qingliu on a bicycle.
It’s better to have more people at home, and it’s even better if there are people at home in the county town.
If there is no one in the county town, I have to walk to the county town every time I go out, and there is no place to park my bicycle.
But it’s different when the boss is in the county town. You can just leave your bicycle at his house and ride it as you like.
Wan Qingliu and her husband have a place to put their things, and Hua Aihua's family can also enjoy riding their bicycles.
When you come back, you can leave your things at your parents' house.
Hua Aihua's house is still very spacious.
Originally, two sisters shared one room and two brothers shared one room, but now that the sisters are married, that room is usually empty.
The couple did not give the room to either of the brothers.
Even if a daughter is married, she is still a member of the family and can come back to live with her.
Wan Qingliu's heart was filled with lofty ambitions: "In a few years, let alone bicycles, your mother and I will buy our family a car!"
Hua Xuguo laughed when he heard it: "Mom, you have such a good idea."
Nowadays, it is a big deal for people to buy a bicycle, let alone a car, which only leaders are qualified to ride.
Wan Qingliu was very disgusted: "You country bumpkin, don't even dare to think about it, what use are you?"
Hua Xuguo muttered, "I'm a country bumpkin, aren't you too, Mom?"
The two went to Hua Aihua's house to get some things and had breakfast.
I found an empty space on the roadside and set up a stall.
As soon as the bright shirts and bell-bottom pants were hung out, they immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
Immediately a little girl came up and asked, "Auntie, the clothes you sell are really special."
Wan Qingliu immediately smiled: "This is a trendy item from Guangzhou. Everyone on TV wears this!"
When the little girl heard it was so advanced, she was immediately intimidated.
Televisions are sold in department stores, but who can afford them?
Either rich families or government officials have it.
She blinked. "That must be very expensive, right?"
Wan Qingliu patted the clothes and said, "Look at the quality. I guarantee that others will envy you when you wear them back!"
"This dress is 15 yuan a piece. Where can you find this color at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
The little girl touched the clothes, reluctant to let them go, and hesitated for a moment.
“Isn’t this too expensive?”
Wan Qingliu: "How about this, since you are the first one to patronize my business, I will give you a discount of two dollars, and you can take 13.
Just think about it, a pretty girl like you, if you wear this dress home, your sisters, cousins, and other aunts and uncles will all praise you to death, right?
The little girl couldn't hide her smile, and said shyly: "Well, can you give me two dollars less?"
Wan Qingliu immediately said, "Hey, who told you to be the first one to patronize my business? I'm giving it to you at cost price! 11 is 11, you can definitely take it at this price!"
The little girl was immediately happy. She took out 22 yuan, pointed at the red and yellow ones and said, "I want these two!"
Wan Qingliu took the money and asked, "Little girl, you bought such a beautiful dress, do you have pants to match it with?
Look at this at home. These pants go with your clothes. If they don’t look good together, come and find me!"
The little girl was frightened again and asked, "How much is it?"
"These pants are 20 yuan a pair!"
The little girl gasped: "This set costs dozens of dollars, it's too expensive!"
Wan Qingliu smiled and said, "These pants look great on you. Young people all love wearing them. If you put them on, wouldn't you be the most fashionable and beautiful girl in the county?"
The little girl gritted her teeth and said, "Will you sell it for 15?"
"Alright, alright, there's nothing we can do about a pretty girl like you. Take the 15!"
Just like that, I bought two pieces of clothing and a pair of pants in my first order.
Hua Xuguo was truly eye-opening.
“Someone actually bought it.”
Wan Qingliu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that only a few people here are wearing this now. Wait a few months and you'll see people wearing this all over the streets!"
Trends always spread very quickly.
No matter how ugly something is, if everyone says it is good-looking, it will become good-looking.
A few more young people came to ask about bell-bottom pants, especially some with sequins on them.
This is so special!
Young people just like to do something different. Although it is a bit expensive, it is worth it!
The clothes were not sold out on the first day, only half were sold.
But the next day, beautiful girls wearing Dacron shirts and young men and women wearing bell-bottom pants appeared on the streets.
This looks particularly eye-catching in the crowd!
