Chapter 102: Sour Grapes
I've been buying handbags and hair ornaments these days, so I've gotten used to seeing vendors selling trousers. But I found it strange to see a vendor selling trousers.
"Can trousers be sold ready-made? Can they fit without measuring the size?"
"Yes, there are all kinds of people, tall, short, fat, and thin."
"Oh, the color is so pretty, and the fabric is good, too."
"The trouser seam is so straight, and why are there elastic bands? Where did these trousers come from?"
"These guys used to sell hair ornaments and handbags."
Someone lowered his voice and said, "The hair ornaments and handbags they sell are still the best looking. I don't know why, even if they are exactly the same, they feel different."
So everyone started asking questions.輫
The experienced Song family members are already very good at dealing with it.
Their attitude is particularly good, and they answer all questions.
Old Mrs. Song also said, wait, they will go to Nancheng to purchase goods in a while.
They say that monks from outside can chant sutras.
Many times, it is the same when buying and selling things.
No one will find fault with it if they say it is made by themselves and that it is imported from Nancheng.
Not only will they not find fault, but they will also think it is really good, and everything is good. 輫
But if they say they made it themselves, the eyes will be different.
So, the Song family members said that it was imported from other places.
Song Yu Nuan felt that it was not a big problem.
It was fine as long as it could be sold.
The Song family today was different from those days. There were no patches on their clothes and pants. Everyone had a new pair of pants as a model, but no one wanted to try it because it was inconvenient outside.
But Lian Xiang had a sharp eye, and people who were good at sewing could usually tell what size would suit a customer.
So Lian Xiang chose the matching pants, while Old Lady Song watched the stall to prevent anyone from stealing pants when there were many people, and Song Yu Nuan counted the bills and collected the money. 輫
The large size was five yuan a pair, the medium size was four yuan and a half, and the small size was four yuan.
Is it expensive? In fact, it is quite expensive.
But it depends on how you divide it.
Now the purchase of fabric is still limited, and you need a ticket, but this time, as long as you have money, you can buy a pair of nice Dika pants, which is very nice.
Especially at this time, many people don’t like to show their figure when wearing clothes, and firmness is the most important thing.
So, in one morning, 120 pairs of pants were sold out.
There are still two pairs in the canvas bag, but those are what Song Yu Nuan is going to give away.輫
Just now, brother-in-law Zhao came to visit and greeted us with a smile. He didn't care or say anything else. This attitude was very good. At least everyone felt more assured when buying together.
Song Yunuan took two pairs, one large-size men's trousers and one women's trousers, and went to sister Zhao's house.
Sister Zhao was not at home at this time, so Song Yunuan gave the trousers to grandmother Zhao and left.
Song Liang was waiting for her outside. As for the art troupe and the county's No. 1 Middle School, he didn't go. He waited for his sister-in-law and A-po to go home and choose for themselves. Anyway, they had something to wear now.
Old lady Song was wearing newly made trousers today, and her clothes were also new, a blue-black square-necked cotton top with two pockets and five large glass buttons.
She looked several years younger.
It was fine when she was busy, but when she was no longer busy, Mrs. Song, who seemed to have worn new clothes for a few times in her life, felt that something was wrong. 輫
But she didn't dare to say it. When she heard Song Yu Nuan said that she wanted to go to the state-owned hotel for dinner, she hurriedly said, "Don't go. Let's buy meat and let your mother make you potatoes and meat."
Song Yu Nuan felt that the old lady was worried again.
There were more than 500 yuan in the bag.
So she agreed happily, anyway, the county town was not far from home.
Song Liang hurried to the grocery store and bought two pounds of meat. The main thing was that the store would not sell too much.
Unexpectedly, when he got home, Song Nian's family of three were all there.
If you don't go to school or work, you can't remember what day it is today. 輫
No wonder the sales are fast today, it turns out to be Sunday.
Old Lady Song muttered, "They have dog noses, right? They can smell meat from such a distance?"
As soon as she finished muttering, she smelled the aroma of meat coming from the house.
Old Lady Song curled her lips, thinking that she had finally made progress. She even
remembered to buy meat.
Then Old Lady Song was hugged by the excited Song Nian. After letting go, she said excitedly, "Mom, Jin Rong and I have been converted to regular employees. We eat commercial grains. Director Duan has also allocated us a house in the staff compound. Mom, I am so excited, sob sob sob..."
She cried as she spoke.輫
Sun Jinrong also came out of the house, obviously very excited, and pulled Song Yunuan, tears in his eyes: "Xiao Nuan, I don't know what to say, but I know what I want to say, let's see what happens later."
Song Yunuan was also very happy, and it really worked.
Neighboring Auntie Sun was weaving straw hats, and her two sons were also busy. The noise was so loud that they naturally heard it. So
they ran over to ask, and then they also knew that Old Lady Song's youngest son and daughter-in-law had become regular employees, and they ate commercial grain and were given houses.
Jealousy, that was definitely jealousy.
After congratulating, she couldn't help but say sourly: "We rural people are so lucky. We have land, we can grow rice, raise chickens, raise ducks, and grow vegetables. You city people have to spend money to buy a leaf of vegetable, and finally have to run to your mother's house to pick vegetables to eat. In my opinion, there is nothing good about it."
She quickly put herself in the shoes of the city people. 輫
Old lady Song is not like her. She says that grapes are sour when she can't eat them.
She understands this.
Others also react in this way. They don't get angry when someone says sour things on such a happy occasion.
Song Yunuan agreed earnestly: "Grandma Sun is right. Our Erdaohe has beautiful scenery. Who knows, we can build a house and live like city people in the future."
Aunt Sun was a little regretful at first. It seemed that this was not a nice thing to say. After all, they were neighbors. Whenever the Song family had something delicious, they would never forget to give a bite to their grandchildren, such as fruit candies, the legendary rabbit milk candies, and even the little granddaughter drank a bowl of maltose. Just for this, they couldn't say anything weird.
Just when she was about to get off the stage, Song Yunuan actually spoke to her, which made Auntie Sun very happy. She praised Song Yunuan to the point that she was rare in heaven and earth.
Then she said to Old Lady Song: "The other day, your son had a quarrel with someone because of his biological daughter and adopted daughter. Do you remember?" Old
Lady Song's face changed. She looked at Song Yunuan and found that her eldest granddaughter was ready to listen to gossip with bright eyes.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Of course I remember."
Auntie Sun continued: "Do you still remember Mrs. Ding?"
"I remember, what's the matter?" Old Lady Song asked in confusion.
Aunt Sun pointed at the old Ding family and pouted: "You said that Mrs. Ding was very strict. We had such a heated argument that day, but she didn't say a word. I just found out this morning that the biological daughter who was found in Liuxiatun was going to marry her eldest son as a second wife. Oh, she is the same age as her grandson." Old Mrs.
Song was stunned for a moment: "Is it true?"
At that time, Mrs. Ding didn't say a word.
"Why would I lie to you? Now I'm meeting my in-laws. I heard that the four people from Liuxiatun are here. By the way, the adopted daughter is here too. She said she is here to help check."
Song Yu Nuan blinked her eyes. Is there such a thing?
