Jiang Mengxue also brought a woolen quilt and a thinner down quilt.
Jiang's mother took it in her hand curiously. She couldn't believe that such a light quilt could be warm. It was suitable for use in summer.
Jiang Mengran liked the gray woolen quilt, which was heavy and substantial.
"Also, our supply and marketing cooperative bought a batch of lambskin fabrics, and I made a bed sheet and two pillowcases.
It’s a pity that there’s not much fabric, otherwise it would be even better to make a quilt cover. This soft fabric would be very comfortable to cover yourself with.”
Jiang Dongmei worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, so it was convenient for her to buy things. If she found something good, she would keep it for herself.
Otherwise, such a rare fabric would definitely be sold out as soon as it is released.
What Jiang Mengxue dislikes most is probably the style of the quilt she is wearing now.
They are all put directly on the outside of the finished quilt core, and they have to be removed if they want to wash.
However, many of the quilts she prepared required a layer of cloth wrapped around the quilt core, so if you wanted to cover them, you could just put on a quilt cover.
The part of the quilt that is most likely to get dirty is usually the top, as it is often rubbed against by the neck and face, and often scratched by hands.
So just cover it with another layer of cloth. When it gets dirty, you can take it off and wash it. It is much more convenient than taking it apart completely to wash.
After hearing what Jiang Mengxue said, Jiang's mother went to find some cloth and sewed it on later.
"Mother, is my little sister's dowry ready?"
There is only one day left today, and the relatives from the Tian family will arrive early tomorrow morning.
Mother Jiang thought for a while, wondering if she had forgotten anything.
"It should be almost done. You brothers will take the people to take the furniture away soon. They found a tractor in the county town that can move it all in one go.
As for the several hundred kilograms of grain your sister had, I replaced all the fresh grain with dried grain, a total of over two hundred kilograms, and I'll take that with me."
Jiang Mengran had just received a year's supply of food, and then she went to the city. Her father and mother had already planned for the food.
Every year, it is replaced with the new grain distributed that year and given to her when she gets married.
They are indeed doing so now.
There are also quilts and other things that are difficult to carry, so we take them on the tractor.
As for the others, they were just some small things and would be taken away when they came to pick up the bride tomorrow.
There was a thudding sound coming from outside.
Many people had never seen a tractor and were startled by the sudden sound.
Even those who were lying on the kang at home because of the cold were attracted by the sound.
They followed the tractor to the door of Jiang's house.
Then the furniture was carried into the car one by one, along with several prepared quilts.
There were two cotton quilts prepared by Jiang's mother, a woolen quilt and a down quilt given by Jiang Mengxue, and a three-piece bedding set given by Jiang Dongmei.
People outside looked at these things with envy.
It was the same when Jiang Mengxue got married. There were so many good things that people were dazzled.
"The eldest, second, and third brothers can just go with Er He. There's enough space on two bicycles."
In the past, the person who sent the dowry from the bride's family had to be someone close to her.
Jiang Dachun and Jiang Daxia went up on a tractor, while Jiang Daqiu and Erhe followed behind on bicycles, and would change if they got tired halfway.
After watching them leave, everyone went home and the Jiang family returned to the house.
Later on, Aunt Jiang and relatives from Jiang's mother's side will also come over.
Jiang Mengxue's aunt Zhao Fengqiao arrived in the afternoon.
Zhao Fengqiao is a person who loves to laugh.
But as soon as he arrived today, Jiang's mother noticed something was wrong.
But there were so many people around that she couldn't ask directly, so she planned to wait until there were fewer people in the evening.
At night, Jiang Mengxue and Jiang Dongmei both stayed in their parents' room.
Jiang Mengran slept in the same room with a group of little girls.
In the east room there are Jiang's mother and three sisters, as well as Jiang Mengxue and her sister.
Jiang's mother hasn't seen her two sisters often since she got married.
I only go back to my parents' home a few times a year, or to visit a few families for weddings. I really don't have time to visit relatives often.
Besides, when visiting relatives, you should bring some gifts, right?
It would be better if everyone just visited relatives less when they have nothing to do, and contacted them when there is something to do.
Since the death of my parents, my sisters sometimes don’t see each other for a year or two.
Alas, it’s all because married daughters are like this.
"What's wrong with you today? I noticed you looked strange when I first came in. Did something happen at home?"
In the dark night, Jiang's mother asked her elder sister who was lying between her and her younger sister Zhao Yu.
My eldest sister is probably in her fifties this year, and she is almost sixty. She is old.
Zhao Fengqiao was a little hesitant.
She has always been very strong-willed and she really didn't know how to talk to her sister about this.
But she didn't say it... She couldn't just stand by and watch something happen to her son's family.
He sighed and said hesitantly, "The eldest son of the Daqing family suddenly fell ill in the first half of the year. People who have seen this disease say it is epilepsy.
The patient regained consciousness after just a few minutes and we didn't take it seriously, but we didn't expect that he would have the disease again twice later.
Once, he almost hit his tongue. Fortunately, a stick was stuffed in his mouth, otherwise he would have been finished.
Daqing and his wife also took their child to the commune to see a doctor, and the doctor just prescribed a few medicines for him to take. But the child still fell ill twice later, and the medicine was of no use at all.
Having raised so many children with great difficulty, Daqing and his wife were reluctant to give them up, so they wanted to take them to a big hospital for a check-up.
But can we country people afford to go to a big hospital?
I was thinking about coming here to see Xiaoxue this time. Let's see what Xiaoxue says. Can we go to the hospital in the city? How much money do I need to prepare?"
As soon as Jiang Mengxue heard that someone was sick, she knew to come find her.
However, she didn't know much about this matter, so she couldn't say it too clearly.
"Aunt, I don't know the patient's specific condition yet, so I can't say whether it can be cured.
However, there are many types of childhood epilepsy, some of which can be treated with medication, diet, and surgery.
But some cases may never be cured in a lifetime and require continued use of anti-epileptic drugs, so I can’t really say for sure.
If you go to the hospital for a checkup, it doesn't cost much, but the cost of the medicine and surgery is what's important, so I can't say for sure."
Knowing that it could be cured, Zhao Fengqiao felt relieved.
But when she thought about how much money it would cost, the fact that it might not be cured, and that she might have to take medicine for the rest of her life, she became a little hesitant.
It's not that she is cruel, it's just that she really can't make this decision.
There is more than one grandson in the family, and the family has not yet been divided. The other sons may not be willing to drag around a burden.
She raised the lamb with great care and effort, and now that something like this has happened, she is sadder than anyone else.
But he also didn't want to implicate his other sons.
Zhao Fengqiao finally couldn't help sobbing and burst into tears.
But she seemed to be afraid that others might hear her, so she could only cover her mouth and cry quietly.
