Chapter 759: Encountering the Best at the Market (Part 4)
Lu Xiaoxiao and her second sister visited several stalls but didn't see anything they wanted to buy, so she asked her second sister, "Second sister, do you want to buy anything?"
"Yes, I want to buy some homespun cloth to make two sets of work clothes for my parents. The clothes they are wearing now are already worn out by washing. A little use will tear a big hole in them."
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao recalled where the stall selling homespun cloth was when she saw it just now. She said to her second sister, "Second sister, I know where the stall selling homespun cloth is. I'll take you there."
"good."
When Lu Xiaoxiao brought her second sister to the stall selling homespun cloth, she saw that no one was buying cloth at the stall, so she asked her second sister to choose the cloth quickly, otherwise someone else would come and she wouldn't be able to choose good cloth.
When the second sister heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she immediately squatted down to choose cloth. After looking at all the cloths placed on the ground, she selected two pieces of the best quality.
"Grandma, how much are these two pieces of cloth?" the second sister asked the grandma who was selling the cloth.
"Four dollars."
After hearing the stall owner's price, the second sister thought it was a bit expensive, so she said to the stall owner: "Grandma, can you make it cheaper?"
"It's not cheap, but if you can buy two more, I'll give you one for free."
When the second sister heard what the stall owner said, she wanted to put down the cloth in her hand. She only had three dollars in total, which was not enough to buy two pieces of cloth, let alone four pieces.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw her second sister's action, she reached out and took the cloth from her second sister's hand, then said to the stall owner, "Grandma, I want to buy six pieces of cloth from you, can you give me two pieces?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the stall owner thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
"Xiaoxiao, why are you buying so much cloth?" The second sister asked anxiously when she saw Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to buy six pieces of cloth at once.
"Second sister, I'll explain it to you later. Now help me pick out six more pieces of good quality."
When the second sister heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she knew that Lu Xiaoxiao must buy so much cloth, so she had no choice but to squat down and help Lu Xiaoxiao choose the cloth.
A few minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao took the six pieces of cloth that her second sister had chosen for her. She handed them to the stall owner along with the two pieces of cloth in her hand and said, "Grandma, can you find something to help me hold the cloth? Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to hold it."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the stall owner took the cloth that Lu Xiaoxiao handed to her, then took out a cloth rope from his pocket and tied the cloth that Lu Xiaoxiao bought together.
After Lu Xiaoxiao took out twelve yuan from her backpack and handed it to the stall owner, she took the bundle of cloth from him.
"Xiaoxiao, put the cloth in my backpack." The second sister said to Lu Xiaoxiao after seeing Lu Xiaoxiao holding the heavy bundle of cloth in her hands.
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what her second sister said, she didn't bother to be polite with her and put the cloth in her hand into the basket that her second sister was carrying.
"Xiaoxiao, now you can tell me why you bought so much fabric at once."
“Making clothes.”
"I don't believe it. I have never seen you wearing clothes made of homespun cloth." The second sister spoke immediately after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao laughed twice, and then said, "It's not that I don't wear clothes made of homespun cloth, but when I wear clothes made of homespun cloth, my body becomes itchy."
Lu Xiaoxiao was not lying when she said that wearing clothes made of homespun cloth would make her body itch terribly. She had worn clothes made of homespun cloth once before, and within less than half a day, a lot of red bumps appeared on her body, just like an allergy. Since then, she never dared to wear clothes made of homespun cloth again.
