Feng Qingxue was thinking about Aunt Xu, so she went into the city early the next morning to return the sled and prepared some supplies to send over.
Among them were the cotton, sheepskin, rabbit skin that she had promised to the two elders, as well as enough cloth to make clothes and quilts, and autumn clothes. These were not good materials, but they were definitely top-notch in that era. In addition, there was cotton, cloth, needles and thread for herself and Qingyun to make cotton clothes, and she asked Aunt Xu to help make clothes.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to make clothes, but she can’t do it at home in front of Qingyun, and it’s hard to explain the reason.
In addition, some coarse and fine grains and rare supplies such as brown sugar, oil, etc. were also delivered.
"Auntie, you and uncle can keep the fabric to make clothes and quilts. If you have old clothes, please take two pieces and make the front and outer layers of cotton-padded jackets for Qingyun and me. Old clothes won't be conspicuous when we wear them. I'll come and get them in two days when they're done." Feng Qingxue said seriously.
Although Aunt Xu didn't quite understand why she did this, she still agreed to her request.
"Okay, my girl. We don't have much stuff, but we have a lot of old clothes. After all, they are not worth much. Even if some are burned, there are still a lot left. If you don't mind me being dirty, I'll take apart a few of my old clothes, wash them, and make two sets of clothes for you and your sister, and two pairs of cotton shoes. Give me the sizes."
Feng Qingxue felt relieved and thanked him repeatedly.
She really took great pains to get dressed.
If you take the food home and eat it directly, you won't be discovered, but if you wear these clothes, people will always notice them.
"My daughter, you don't have to thank me. We should thank you. We are able to survive because of your food." Aunt Xu held her hand and expressed her deep gratitude again and again. "By the way, your uncle has an old friend who lives not far from here. He used to be a capitalist, but his children and grandchildren cut ties with him, and the old couple are almost starving to death. We gave them some food, and they asked me to exchange it with you for food. Both coarse and fine grains are fine."
As she spoke, Aunt Xu turned around and took out a plain wooden box from the bedside box. She handed it to Feng Qingxue and winked at her. "Your uncle is a scholar. Our family has limited money, but their family is different. They were very wealthy before the founding of the People's Republic of China."
Feng Qingxue smiled, opened the wooden box, and was then stunned by the jewels in the box.
Maybe because she is a girl and girls naturally like jewelry, so Uncle Xu's friend also took out jewelry.
The wooden box is filled with squares and covered with black velvet at the bottom. Rings, earrings, brooches and the like are embedded in the seams of the black velvet, while necklaces, pendants and bracelets are fixed to the black velvet with needle and thread.
There is a set of jewelry in each grid, and there are two grids in total.
A set of high-quality icy-green jade jewelry, including a pair of bracelets, earrings, a ring, a necklace, a brooch, and a pendant. The color is rich and even, with plenty of water, illuminating Feng Qingxue's head and face with its green glow.
There are some cotton wool and cotton threads inside, which is not perfect, but at a glance, it can be ignored and the merits outweigh the flaws.
If the quality or color differs by one degree, the price can differ by ten or a hundred times.
The value of this set of jade jewelry is far greater than the jade bracelet that Aunt Xu gave her.
The other set is diamond jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, and rings, all of which are mainly pink diamonds and surrounded by white diamonds.
