Du Yuhan planned to make the shoes herself, so she bought needles, thread, thimbles, etc. She planned to take apart her two old clothes that she could no longer wear and use them to make shoe soles.
She made her own cloth shoes with multiple layers of soles that fit well, are comfortable, and breathable; she plans to make a pair for each of the three members of her family. She also plans to make a few pairs of slippers, which Han Yixian will find convenient to wear at home.
Du Yuhan was looking for a suitable tank top in her online space. She hadn't had children yet, and her chest was still flat, so she couldn't wear a bra. It was really frustrating.
Du Yuhan also bought two pairs of plastic slippers to wear when showering in the bathroom.
She used all the coupons she had for pots, pans, and utensils; if she didn't buy these things now, they would be hard to find soon. Du Yuhan even bought a tin thermos.
Fortunately, Liu Gang knew that Du Yuhan wanted to buy a lot of things, so he put a wicker basket on the other side of the bicycle seat, which could hold a lot of things.
I also bought daily necessities such as towels, soap, toothbrushes, etc. These are all consumables, so it's fine to buy them early and leave them unused, since there aren't many of them anyway.
Du Yuhan was very tempted by the yarn, but after asking the price, she couldn't bring herself to buy it.
Polyester fabrics pill easily, so it's best to buy wool yarn. But good wool yarn costs ten to twenty yuan per kilogram, and even though it's no longer rationed, Du Yuhan still can't bear to spend the money.
The mall in the space has all kinds of yarn, enough for her to knit sweaters without running out.
Nowadays, people are used to knitting their own sweaters, which saves a lot of money compared to buying ready-made ones. She plans to knit one for Han Yixian first.
While Liu Gang was in the restroom, she smuggled a few kilograms of yarn, the same color as the yarn sold in the department store, from her spatial storage, saving her about a hundred yuan.
Du Yuhan kept fifty yuan of the money she saved for herself. Otherwise, if the amount of money she brought home with the yarn was too different from what she expected, it would arouse Han Yixian's suspicion.
This gave her fifty yuan in cash to carry with her.
Liu Gang didn't see the yarn that Du Yuhan had hidden, nor did he pay attention to the types and prices of yarn in the department store.
After buying the supplies, Du Yuhan bought some seasonings and left the items at a place. She and Liu Gang then went to look at the cabinet.
Du Yuhan doesn't plan to buy a large cabinet; a decent one will do.
The furniture store had a pretty complete selection of furniture, including wardrobes, kang cabinets, bookcases, trunks, tables, chairs, and benches.
Du Yuhan bought a storage cabinet with drawers and dividers. The cabinet is about half a person's height, and it's very practical to store things inside and also to place things on top.
Du Yuhan thought she didn't have many things, and this cabinet was more than enough for her needs. Plus, it was very cheap, only a little over thirty yuan. So Du Yuhan bought the cabinet.
Du Yuhan and her group couldn't move the cabinet themselves, so they had to pay the department store to deliver it. Since they were already paying for a truck, Du Yuhan bought an iron stove, chimney, and other items, so the department store could deliver them together.
With someone delivering the goods, Du Yuhan and her family felt much more relaxed. They then went to the grocery store and bought several common vegetables, such as radishes and potatoes, which are easy to store in winter. They also bought some vermicelli, which they often eat.
Du Yuhan thought of making a nourishing soup for Han Yixian, so she went to the pharmacy and bought some medicinal herbs to help him recover, as well as a ceramic pot.
The herbs are of mediocre quality, but they'll have to do. She can gather some herbs from the mountains when the weather gets warmer.
Du Yuhan spent a little over two hundred yuan on this large purchase, and she was amazed at how cheap things were at this time of year.
It's because Du Yuhan experienced a prosperous society in her previous life and was used to a life of wealth that she has such a sigh. Liu Gang was almost scared to death by Du Yuhan's shopping addiction.
Liu Gang was genuinely shocked by Du Yuhan's shopaholic behavior. Goodness, she really did it like money was no object. He wondered if the group leader would be unhappy and scold Du Yuhan when they got back.
The grain store has sold out of grain for this month. Du Yuhan's grain household registration hasn't been processed yet, so she'll have to wait until next month to collect her grain.
Liu Gang rode his bicycle with Du Yuhan on the back, following the department store's delivery truck home.
After returning home, I first carried the cabinet into the west room, then unloaded everything from the car and moved it into the living room. After unloading, I paid the delivery driver and he left.
Han Yixian also came out to see what Du Yuhan and the others had bought. He could tell from the sight of Liu Gang carrying a basket in and rummaging through things several times that they had bought quite a lot.
Du Yuhan took things out of the basket one by one. She looked up at Han Yixian's face and said, "Brother Han, on my way here from home, I stayed at a hotel with Aunt Han for one night. I heard a traveler say that there will be big changes in the policies this year. There may be a steelmaking campaign. All regions will have to take action. The supply of these metal products will be very tight in the future."
So I bought these things, and it might be difficult to buy them again in the future. If Aunt Han and the others have these tickets, they should use them as well.
I heard that many places are experiencing drought this year. If it doesn't rain soon, the harvest will be poor, and supplies may become tight. Even with ration coupons, there might not be anything to buy.
Han Yi frowned after hearing Du Yuhan's words and said, "These are all useful things, we should buy them. We'll be living here from now on, so we should have everything we need. Just buy whatever else you need without asking me. If you don't have enough money, just say so. If you don't have enough coupons, I can ask someone else for them."
Du Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Han Yixian didn't seem to want to blame her, and even Liu Gang, who had been on edge, felt relieved.
Du Yuhan took out the remaining money and tickets and said, "Brother Han, I spent more than two hundred yuan on shopping this time, and I still have more than two hundred yuan left. I also have some tickets left. Please keep them all."
Han Yi took the money and tickets, looked at the remaining tickets, counted out one hundred yuan and handed it to Du Yuhan along with the remaining tickets, saying, "Take these. Buy whatever you see that suits you. I trust you won't waste money."
Du Yuhan hesitated for a moment, and Han Yixian stuffed the money and tickets into Du Yuhan's hand.
Du Yuhan stopped being coy and put the money and tickets away.
Du Yuhan and Liu Gang worked together to put the pots and pans in the kitchen, and put other things wherever they were needed. Items not needed for the time being were put in the side room.
Du Yuhan checked the time and it was almost noon, so she went to the kitchen to cook, and Liu Gang followed to help.
Han Yi returned to the east room and kept thinking about Du Yuhan's words. Then he took out letter paper and a pen and began to write a letter.
He wrote very quickly, letter after letter, all addressed to comrades in various places. The letters inquired about the local weather this year, whether it was dry, requested various ration coupons, and asked about policies. All the content was related to what Du Yuhan had said that day.
He also wrote a letter to one of his subordinates, asking him to come and see him.
Han Yixian had a feeling that what Du Yuhan said today wasn't unfounded, and that it might very well come true. He also knew that this young girl trusted him a lot; she certainly wouldn't say things like those to just anyone.
