Chapter 141 Amazing Purchasing Power



Yao Qiyue seldom comes to the town, so she took Wei Hong to have a great time at the supply and marketing cooperative.

When I saw White Rabbit milk candy and malted milk, I wanted to buy some for the children at home.

The supply and marketing cooperative here sells pure sorghum wine brewed by itself.

Yao Qiyue couldn't help but hit Chen Qingyun with a glass bottle.

The supply and marketing cooperative in Wangjiang is located along the river, so it has a rich supply of fish, especially salmon.

It looks like it weighs more than ten pounds and is very big.

Yao Qiyue estimated that the bicycle would not fit, so she had to give up regretfully.

Then she saw a stall selling shoes. The shoes here were all handmade cloth shoes, and there were also army green farm shoes for sale.

Yao Qiuyue bought two pairs of shoes for each family member.

I also bought Jiang Ye a pair of leather shoes.

Wei Hong felt so distressed when she saw Yao Qiyue buying so many shoes.

But this was Yao Qiuyue's money, and she couldn't say anything.

At this moment, she felt that Yao Qiyue was really rich.

Yao Qiyue is certainly not short of money. She has published three volumes of books on abduction prevention, and now she has started writing books on fraud prevention.

The fraud method needs to be adapted to the current actual situation, and Yao Qiuyue is not doing it that fast.

The publishing house mails her royalties on a regular basis every month, and the royalties now are no longer as high as the tens of thousands of yuan she received at the beginning.

Later, when the editor knew that she had gone to the countryside, he specially exchanged her royalties for various receipts. She now had cigarette receipts, wine receipts, sugar receipts, and meat receipts.

This was enough for her to buy anything she wanted.

It’s just that cloth coupons are in short supply and she doesn’t have that many.

Yao Qiuyue happened to see the cigarette counter next to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Chen Qingyun at home doesn't smoke, but Ji Ping likes to smoke dry tobacco.

Yao Qiuyue bought a box of Daqianmen cigarettes, and the packaging looked okay.

Yao Qiyue bought it without hesitation.

Afterwards she bought some old-fashioned pastries.

Yao Qiyue put the large and small items in two large bags on the crossbar of the bicycle.

After thinking about it, Yao Qiuyue went to buy another five pounds of meat.

Wei Hong held three pieces of cloth in her hands. She wrapped the cloth with a headscarf to prevent it from being damaged on the road.

The two stumbled all the way home.

Xiaobao and Xiaowu squatted at the door like a stone pillar.

Yao Qiyue saw it from a distance.

Wei Hong didn't buy much for herself. When she wanted to buy some cloth, Yao Qiyue stopped her, so she had to buy some oil, salt and seasoning.

She had little stuff, so she jumped off her bike and left when she got to Yao's house.

Yao Qiyue grabbed Wei Hong and said, "Sister Wei Hong, take this fabric back with you and help me make two sets of clothes for our family."

Wei Hong stopped when she heard this: "You want to make so many clothes?"

Yao Qiyue nodded: "Not only that, look at these little ones, their clothes are too short. Fortunately, it's summer now, so they can be worn as cropped pants."

"Please help me measure them properly later and make their clothes and pants a little bigger."

Wei Hong knew that children's clothes should be made bigger, because the clothes of children in the village were all left over from their older brothers and sisters, or were altered by adults to make them smaller.

To put it bluntly, it's all because of poverty.

It was also the first time for her to see someone making clothes for children on such a large scale.

However, when she thought about Yao Qiyue's big purchase at the supply and marketing cooperative today, she quickly felt relieved.

Yao Qiyue invited Wei Hong into the house.

"Xiaobao, Xiaowu, you two come here too."

When the two little kids heard they had new clothes to wear, they were so happy that they jumped and followed Yao Qiyue.

In the yard...

Chen Qingyun was chopping wood. He knew that the winter in Northeast China was very cold and he needed to burn the stove, so he started saving firewood during this period.

"Grandpa, after Xiaobao and Xiaowu have finished taking their measurements, you can come over and let Sister Wei Hong take a look."

Chen Qingyun said without raising his head: "I have all the clothes, I won't do it."

Yao Qiyue couldn't help him. He didn't come in. Yao Qiyue turned to Wei Hong and asked, "Sister Wei Hong, can you tell what size my grandfather wears from this look?"

Wei Hong patted her chest confidently: "Don't worry, sister, my eyes are my ruler."

Fortunately, popular clothes nowadays are relatively loose, so the sizes can be roughly the same.

Chen Qingyun listened to Yao Qiyue's conversation, put down the axe speechlessly, and complained: "Yao Qiyue, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Children's clothes need to be measured according to their height, so Wei Hong has to make the clothes a little bigger, but not too much bigger.

So she needs the child's specific height.

After Xiaobao and Xiaowu were measured, Damao, who was taking care of his own vegetable garden, was also caught by Yao Qiuyue and measured behind him.

Knowing that Yao Qiyue was going to make clothes for her, she felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.

"You're moving around like a bug. How can Sister Wei Hong measure you?"

"Be obedient and don't move."

Only then did Damao stiffen his body and stand still.

"Sister, I have clothes to wear. The clothes you bought for me are still there."

Da Mao has started to grow taller recently. Maybe it was because he had been wandering around all the time, so he didn’t eat or sleep well and was very thin.

After following Yao Qiyue, she finally felt at home. Although she still felt a little uneasy, she ate and drank well, and Yao Qiyue also gave them extra meals every now and then.

She grew up naturally.

Jiang Ye's clothes are the same as Chen Qingyun's, both are rough.

When no one was in the room, Wei Hong asked, "Does everyone do two sets?"

Yao Qiyue rested her chin on her hand and watched Wei Hong write the size on the fabric with chalk.

"Xiaobao, make two sets of summer clothes and two coats. Xiaowu, do the same."

"Da Mao is still growing, so I'll make two sets of summer clothes and a coat first."

"Jiang Mei made a set of skirts and a set of summer clothes."

“My grandfather and my husband each do four sets.”

"Make me four sets of clothes too."

Wei Hong counted silently and found that she would have to sit for a while.

"Children's clothes are easy to make. I can finish them in two days. But adults' clothes are much more troublesome."

Yao Qiyue nodded: "I'm not in a hurry, Sister Wei Hong, you can do whatever you want."

"The rest of the fabric is yours."

Wei Hong shook her head and said, "You have so much cloth. How about this? I'll make you a quilt with the rest, and then I'll buy some cotton to fill it in."

Wei Hong saw that Yao Qiyue also couldn't do needlework.

Yao Qiuyue agreed without hesitation, and then gave Wei Hong five yuan and a bag of sugar.

"Sister Wei Hong, if you don't want the cloth, I'll give you the money. Take this candy home and make some sugar water for your baby."

Wei Hong did not refuse this time. She used to be an apprentice in a tailor shop, and her family had no shortage of scraps of cloth.

Even though Wei Hong did so much work, she deserved the money and sugar. The price Yao Qiuyue gave her was considered generous.

The two of them agreed that Yao Qiyue would pack these things first.

Thinking of cloth shoes, Yao Qiyue asked: "Sister Wei Hong, can you make cloth shoes?"
