Chapter 18 Buying Meat and Cloth
After Su He tidied up the house, she went to the dean's house to borrow a bicycle.
Originally, she didn't know whether anyone had a bicycle, but now she knew the dean's family, and she knew that even if the dean's family didn't have one, she knew who had one and could help her borrow one.
As expected, Dean Yuan had a bicycle at home. His wife was very polite and said, "Xiao Su, how are you going to go out with three children by yourself? Leave the children at our house and I'll take care of them for you for a while!"
Su He also felt that it was too difficult to take three carrots out, especially on a bicycle, but Big Maomao just refused.
Su He thought about it and decided to take it with him.
Seeing the tall eight-bar bicycle, Su He was silent for a while. She could ride a bicycle, but she had never ridden one this big. It should be the same.
Seeing the three children clinging to Su He, Mrs. Yuan went back inside to find a car seat and handed it to Su He: "Then tie this to the front beam. Xiaobao can sit in the front, and Da Mao and Mao can sit in the back seat. Da Mao sits in the back. Remember to hold on tight to Mommy!"
Su He was still a little worried.
She thought about it, found a piece of bed sheet, put Xiaobao in her arms and tied him to her body, and Xiaomao sat on the front crossbeam seat. Damao sat alone in the back seat and held her tightly.
Mrs. Yuan was worried and came over to check on her. Only after seeing her like this did she feel relieved and went home.
Su He thought about how hot the sun was, then went back to the room, found an apron, and covered her head and face, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Sun protection is particularly important, even if it is cloudy or rainy!
I also got two furs for Big Maomao to put on his head. If the sun gets strong and it gets too hot, he can wet the furs and put them on his head to cool down.
Su He finally packed up and rode out with the three little kids.
There is only one main road from the base. After walking four or five miles, you will reach the town.
Here we have supply and marketing.
Su He arrived in the town, locked his bicycle, tied Xiaobao in his arms, dragged another child with each hand, and went into the supply and marketing department.
Nowadays, most people are simple and down-to-earth. Seeing her with her three children and riding a bicycle, even the salesperson who originally had a bad attitude smiled at her a little more and asked her what she wanted to buy.
Su Heqi then said that she wanted to buy cloth to make clothes for her three children. When the salesperson saw her take out several cloth coupons and money, his attitude became better. It seemed that she not only had many children, but also a lot of money and coupons!
She first asked approximately how many feet of cloth would be needed to make a piece of clothing. The salesperson told her that about 1 foot of cloth would be needed to make a top, and if she wanted to make a skirt, she would need at least ten feet of cloth.
Su He didn't understand at first. Three feet is one meter. She remembered reading somewhere later that the material needed to make a piece of clothing is about one meter, which is more than three feet. Why does it take a foot to make a piece of clothing now?
She picked out a piece of red fine cotton cloth for herself. She planned to make it into pajamas, but she wanted it to be a suspender style, with a pair of shorts underneath. This way, she could save on fabric.
When the salesperson took the roll of cloth and cut it for her, she realized that the cloth was narrow, no wonder it took so long to make a piece of clothing.
Su He also picked out a piece of white cotton with black dots. She wanted to make a shirt out of it. Although the base was peaceful, she still had to be cautious and wear plain colors for safety.
It is easiest to buy fabric for Xiaobao. I just picked some light red fine cotton cloth and bought a ruler at once. Since the child is young, I can make not only clothes but also skirts.
There was no choice for Damao Mao's clothes, so he picked white cotton and black cotton, white for the top and black for the pants.
