Chapter 106 A 1-cent rubber band
Liu Yunshuang was quite happy. She was not stupid.
Qiao Yiqi must have let her off the hook, because the watch ticket was so valuable! However, she really needed a watch now.
Although I have adapted to my current life, I have also become accustomed to the routine of working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise.
But, it is not standardized after all.
She still wanted a watch so she could tell the exact time.
That way, the tasks can be allocated very accurately.
When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she went straight to the counter selling quilt covers.
There are more things here than in Qingyang Town.
I still needed relief cloth, which is cheaper, and I also bought a mattress cover.
I bought ten feet of red cotton cloth with small flowers, five feet of black cotton cloth, and five feet of dark green cotton cloth with small flowers.
I also bought twenty meters of white cloth to wrap the quilt.
He used part of the money that Qiao Yiqi sent last time, and saved the rest to make clothes when it gets warmer next year.
This kind of pure white cloth is a little cheaper.
When it comes to living, you have to be thrifty.
In addition, I bought some salt, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and so on.
Cooking at home requires a lot of seasoning, and we’ve run out of salt from pickling the vegetables.
I also bought two kilograms of large biscuits, two kilograms of fried cakes, one kilogram of fruit candy, and two bottles of canned hawthorn for the three children.
When I passed by the door, I saw a red hairband, which was very festive.
It is the kind that is five centimeters wide, with borders on both sides and a slightly transparent gauze in the middle, but the color is uniform.
Five cents a stick, and she asked for a pair of red ones, ten cents.
There are also those colorful small rubber bands, five pairs of ten, placed in a small plastic bag and twisted into a twist.
Many young girls and wives in the production team had this.
In their era, short hair was rare and most people wore their hair in braids.
Xu Lanchun and Xu Zhiwei both have this kind of rubber bands, they cost one cent a bag, which is not expensive.
She simply bought three bags, but Xu Zhiqing didn't have any.
The hair is tied with strips of cloth cut from old clothes and twisted into ropes.
As a little girl, I definitely love beauty.
Now that you are living your own life, there is no need to be too harsh.
When I went out, I happened to pass by the state-owned restaurant.
There is a small window here, which sells breakfast.
It's not closed even after morning.
Hanging oven sesame cakes are available all day.
Two cents each, available with brown sugar or sesame.
Liu Yunshuang went over and bought ten as well.
After giving the money and the ticket, the matter was settled.
I arrived home happily and found Xu Zhinian and Xu Zhixin were there too.
The three children were cooking something, nothing special, just corn porridge.
Xu Zhiqing is relatively frugal, especially when there are other people around, she generally doesn't show off her wealth.
Moreover, if I didn’t eat that big bag of corn, I wouldn’t want to throw it away.
"Second Aunt, you're back?"
"Mom~"
"Mom~"
Seeing her, several children ran over.
He took the backpack and invited her in.
Liu Yunshuang washed her hands and drank some hot water.
When I got to the kitchen, the corn porridge was almost done and just needed to be simmered for a while.
"Second Aunt, let's come over and learn how to weave willow branches. Zhiqing is really good at it."
As soon as Xu Zhixin saw her, she started praising Xu Zhiqing.
"Did you bring those willow branches at the door?"
“Well, my mother went to cut it this morning.
She also said that she has been busy at home recently, so she asked us to come and study during the day. "
There's a lot going on at home? What does that mean?
She couldn't help but think of what Zhili said about Du Ruohong and Lin Qingqing going up the mountain together.
"What's the matter?"
She seemed nonchalant, but actually she just wanted to find out something.
“I don’t know, it should be about my aunt’s marriage.
They bought a lot of things yesterday and said they were planning to make quilts and other things.
I think I’ll have to go to the county town in the next two days.”
It seems that the two children only know the surface.
This is indeed a matter, but Du Ruohong must have her own thoughts.
Since the two children were not at home, she was quite nimble.
Even if a fight breaks out, there will be no worries.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Look at what this is."
As he said this, he took out the small rubber band he had bought.
“Little rubber band, so pretty.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Second Aunt, this is for Zhiqing, right?
That’s great, your life is getting better and better.”
As Xu Zhinian spoke, he looked at Xu Zhiqing.
He was smiling so happily, probably because he was happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, the cloth that Zhiqing used to tie her hair was also torn.
This color looks good, and we made a little money from selling baskets yesterday, so we bought this."
The two girls opposite had envy in their eyes.
They also used strips of cloth, so no one thought about it.
The clothes of this era are all darker or lighter in color.
How can you not like this fresh rubber band?
Liu Yunshuang did not expose them and just put all three packages on the table.
"Chinen, Chishin, Chiharu, one pack for each of you three, choose yourselves!"
"What? And ours?"
Xu Zhixin was obviously surprised that her second aunt bought rubber bands for her and her sister.
"Yes, you three sisters, one bag each."
"No, no, Second Aunt, your family doesn't have any money, we can't take it."
Xu Zhinian was older after all, so he refused immediately.
“It’s okay, it doesn’t cost much, I can just make one more basket and return it.
Pick it! "
She said it easily, and the two children were eager to do it.
"Yes, elder sister, second sister, you can choose. My mother bought it especially for you."
Xu Zhiqing also began to persuade her and pushed the rubber band outwards.
"Zhiqing, you are the youngest, you choose first."
Xu Zhinian said that since the colors were different, the one who picked first could naturally choose the one he liked.
"Your eldest sister asked you to choose first, so go ahead."
Liu Yunshuang also agreed with her and Xu Zhiqing went over to choose.
Then came Xu Zhixin, and finally what was left was hers.
“When you go back, hide this.
It’s not for anything else, I’m just afraid that your aunt and Xu Zhiwei will be angry if they see it.”
She gave a warning, and the two children were also indignant.
"Humph, how annoying, why don't you get married quickly.
She's always making trouble at home, and tomorrow when her boyfriend comes over, I'm going to complain to him."
"My dear, please don't do that.
If your grandma holds a grudge against you, she will beat you to death.
She's going to get married anyway, so wait and see, your good days are ahead."
As Liu Yunshuang said this, she was about to go to the kitchen. The two children didn't stay long and went back to eat.
She didn't stay, otherwise there would be another lawsuit.
On the way, Xu Zhixin was very angry.
"Sister, why can't we take out the rubber bands that Second Aunt bought for us? Is Xu Zhiwei so overbearing?"
"What can I do? Grandma likes her.
If you take it out, it might be stolen. Have you forgotten what happened that time?"
