Chapter 414
Su Qingci noticed Su Changzhi's uneasiness and said, "My hair is a little long. There's a guesthouse at the corner of the street. There's also a barber shop next to it. You can even take a shower in the guesthouse. How about that?"
Su Changzhi shyly took over the conversation immediately, "Shall we go over and clean up?"
Su Qingci looked at his cautious look, feeling depressed, "Okay, let's go over there."
Su Changzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Will it be too troublesome? If it is too troublesome..."
Su Qingci shook her head, "Uncle, it's not a problem, it's not a problem."
"That's good. I don't want to make mother worry too much."
"Feng Mei, please find the clothes we used to wear during the New Year and change the children into them."
"I'll change too, hehe~"
The clothes I wear for the New Year are basically only worn during the New Year every year. They are taken off and put away after the 15th day of the lunar year. There are not many patches on them.
Su Qingci took everyone to the guesthouse and booked a room. She asked Liao Fengmei to take Sixiang to wash up first, and she took Su Changzhi and his son to the barber shop in the next alley to get a haircut.
After the father and son had their hair cut, they followed Su Qingci to the guesthouse to wash up.
Liao Fengmei and her daughter had already washed up and said to Su Changzhi awkwardly, "Changzhi, the clothes for the New Year are really thick. It's only October now, and the sun is still strong."
Su Changzhi was stunned, and only then did he think of this incident. He looked at Sixiang's pants with all kinds of holes and patches on her buttocks and knees, and his face fell.
The little bit of self-esteem that I was trying to hold up was shattered in an instant.
Before he was cheated out of buying the long-distance sailing ship, he was quite stingy towards his wife and children... After he was cheated out of buying the long-distance sailing ship, the family didn't receive a single cent of silk for two years.
Su Qingci looked at Su Changzhi's trembling hands and comforted him, "Uncle, don't worry, don't worry, take Sigui to wash up first, I'll go to the tailor shop downstairs to see if there are any clothes to rent."
Su Changzhi's eyes lit up, and he trembled as he reached into his pocket. "Can I rent it? That's fine, that's fine. Uncle has money, money!"
Su Qingci waved her hand and said, "Uncle, renting clothes is cheap and doesn't cost much. Don't worry about it. Just go take a shower!"
"I'll be right back!"
Su Qingci said this and ran out in a hurry. She had only been thinking about bringing her uncle back to see her grandmother and hadn't thought about anything else.
At this time, she could also understand Su Changzhi's thoughts.
He wanted to make himself look as presentable as possible and not appear in front of his mother in such a miserable state.
Su Qingci left the guesthouse and ran into an alley nearby. She remembered that when she was shopping with Kong Yuzhen before, she saw a tailor shop over there and wanted to try her luck to see if they had any ready-made clothes for sale.
From afar, Su Qingci saw that the tailor shop was open and felt relieved.
There was a wooden board hanging at the door with the words "edge trimming" and "cutting" written in black ink.
When Su Qingci approached, she saw that there were indeed ready-made clothes hanging inside, but there were basically no styles to choose from.
At that time, even in a place like Kyoto, ready-made clothing stores were rare, and people usually went to tailor shops or department stores to buy clothes.
There are very few styles of ready-made clothes, and the prices are ridiculously high, so few people buy them.
When people want to buy clothes, most of them will choose the material they like, take it to a tailor shop to choose the style, then ask the tailor to help cut it, and then take it home to sew it themselves.
Or you can just ask a tailor to make it for you, or some people who are reluctant to spend money can do the cutting and sewing themselves.
"Serve the people, comrade. Do you want to make clothes?"
Su Qingci smiled and said, "Learn the spirit of model workers and become a pioneer in the industry. Hello, comrade. I want to see the ready-made clothes."
The person who received Su Qingci was a little boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, probably an apprentice.
Su Qingci was a little surprised to hear that she wanted to buy ready-made clothes. Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Su Qingci went into the shop on her own.
When Su Qingci saw the few ready-made clothes hanging scattered above the shop, she finally understood why the other party was surprised.
A men's shirt is priced at 30 yuan, a women's shirt is priced at 20 yuan, a set of sportswear is 54 yuan, and the cheapest pair of pants is priced at 18 yuan.
What made Su Qingci's eyes widen the most was a fashionable dress priced at 100. There was also a suit hanging in the store, priced at over 300...
This was just the price. Each piece of clothing also required additional cloth coupons. A set of sportswear cost fifty-four yuan, and ten feet of cloth coupons were also required.
In addition to the price marked above, a shirt also requires five feet of cloth coupons.
Su Qingci took a deep breath. At this time, the salary for most tasks was only around 30 yuan.
Is this a month of not eating or drinking to buy a shirt? A year of not eating or drinking to buy a suit?
This is better than living in later generations... In later generations, Pinduoduo's products with free shipping for 9.9 yuan also have more styles than this.
After taking a quick look, Su Qingci turned and left. It wasn't that she was reluctant to spend money, but it was also ridiculous to wear this shirt on Su Changzhi. And what about wearing a fashionable dress for Liao Fengmei? The whole family was dark and skinny like straw. Wouldn't it be scary to wear shirts and dresses?
At this time, even if you take a bus to the department store, you may not be able to buy suitable clothes, and it will be too late for the tailor shop to make them. Besides, Li Yue Niang might be craning her neck to wait for you.
Su Qingci seemed to have thought of something, found a public toilet, and carried people into the farm.
Sure enough, a lot of clothes were found on the Ghana.
Wearing a suit, vest and overalls, he looked like the captain.
The tattered linen clothes clearly belonged to the group of sailors who had died.
There are also some relatively normal-looking clothes, which should have been left behind by the crew on the ship, people of a certain status like the tall and big dragon.
Su Qingci picked out a lot of clothes from the pile according to everyone's body shape, and also picked out a few pairs of shoes.
Then he quickly dried it, stuffed it into a sack, carried the sack carefully out of the farm, and ran towards the guesthouse.
When Su Qingci arrived at the guesthouse, Su Changzhi and his family were already waiting eagerly.
Su Qingci put the sack on the floor and said, "I'm not sure if it will fit. It's a bit too much. Let's try it."
After tidying up, Su Changzhi was wearing a military green work suit with four pockets and black pants.
Because Liao Fengmei didn't have any suitable women's clothes, Su Qingci simply put on her the smoky gray long-sleeved home clothes of Aunt Cheng, the nanny in the villa.
Aunt Cheng is in her fifties, almost sixty, and has a thin figure, similar to Liao Fengmei's. Her clothes are also old-fashioned and fit Liao Fengmei perfectly.
The three siblings Sigui tucked the long hems of their clothes into their pants, and folded the long sleeves.
Because there were no suitable pants, I wore the home sports shorts that Su Qingci later wore.
In later life, she often ran and practiced martial arts, and stocked up on a large number of neutral sports shorts. Sigui looked good in them, but the two little ones looked a little fat in them, and they had to pull up their pants from time to time.
"Okay, I'll return the remaining clothes. You guys take your things and wait for me downstairs. We'll go home!"
