With Yang Yufen's meticulous care, Qin Nian still experienced morning sickness, but it was much better than at the beginning, and she had the energy to devote herself to her work again.
She was too idle, but selling roasted sweet potatoes would delay cooking for her daughter-in-law. Yang Yufen stared at the wooden bed she had built, wondering if it would be too cold to spend the winter like this.
She can handle it, but her daughter-in-law can't.
Thinking it over, Yang Yufen put the money in her pocket, took the lunch she had prepared for Qin Nian to the research institute, and then walked quickly toward the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Aunt Yang, what would you like to buy this time? These are oranges sent from the south. You mentioned them last time, so I specially saved them for you."
"Hello, Xiaolin. Please weigh this for me. Here, have some sweet potatoes. They're still warm."
Yang Yufen took out the roasted sweet potatoes she had prepared.
"Oh my, isn't this a sweet potato? Auntie, let me tell you, roasted sweet potatoes are really popular right now. If I didn't have to be here at the supply and marketing cooperative every day, I would have liked to buy some to eat. I didn't expect you to bring them to me. I can't take them for free, Auntie. These roasted sweet potatoes cost 50 cents each."
Xiaolin was pleasantly surprised. The first time she had eaten this was when her boyfriend gave it to her, but it was cold. However, it was still delicious. The one brought by Aunt Yang was still piping hot.
"If the old lady can ask you for money, just help her keep an eye out for good things."
Yang Yufen refused outright.
Last time, someone tried to bully Xiaolin, but Yang Yufen saw it and helped out, and the two became good friends immediately.
"Of course, is there something you want to buy, ma'am?"
Normally, when Yang Yufen comes in, she starts looking for what she wants, but today she just stayed at the counter talking to her.
"It snowed the day before yesterday, and even with thick blankets, I still felt cold at night. I filled a thermos with hot water, but it got cold by midnight. So I thought I'd come and see if there was anything suitable."
Yang Yufen has been visiting the supply and marketing cooperative very frequently lately. She now knows where everything is without even asking.
"Oh, I see. I do know about electric blankets, but our supply and marketing cooperative doesn't carry them. You have to go to the department store to buy them."
Kobayashi thought for a moment and then immediately remembered.
"This electric blanket can be used as long as it's plugged in, but it uses too much electricity. However, I heard it's very warm. Even on snowy days, you only need to cover yourself with one blanket. I think it used to be used by hospitals abroad for newborns."
Do you need a ticket?
Yang Yufen quickly pressed for more information.
"No tickets are needed, but it's a bit expensive. Nowadays, everyone just fills bottles with hot water and puts them in bed."
"Thank you, ma'am. Here, here are two more. Take them both. How much are the fruits?"
"If you're going to the department store, I'll hold the fruit for you and you can pick it up when you get back, so you don't have to carry it on the way."
Yang Yufen nodded upon hearing this, and rushed over and rushed off again, just in time to catch the bus.
Seeing the towering department store, Yang Yufen took a deep breath. Thinking of her daughter-in-law, she went inside.
"Welcome! What would you like to buy, ma'am? Our first floor is a department store, the second floor is clothing, and the third floor is electronics."
A gentle female voice greeted Yang Yufen, and a smiling face made her relax.
"I want to buy an electric blanket."
"The electric blanket is on the third floor; the old lady can go up the stairs."
"Okay, okay."
