Chapter 416: Can’t afford it, can’t afford it - The sickly young lady’s daily life of eating melons in the courtyard

"Hiss——"The water is so cool!

Lin Qing moved faster and poured out the water after washing the little face clean.

"mother!"

"Breakfast is on the table." Lin's mother heard the voice and answered.

"Okay!" Lin Qing ate steamed buns and drank porridge.

After breakfast, he quickly prepared the medicine and drank it up in one gulp.

There were fewer and fewer medicine packets in the kitchen, and Lin Qing felt that the day when she would no longer have to take medicine was not far away.

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

I am not so resistant when taking medicine.

"Mom, did my dad bring any food when he went to line up?"

Mother Lin glanced at her and said, "You are the only one who cares about your father! I'll send it to him later."

"That's good, that's good." The next second, Lin Qing felt that he seemed to have said something wrong, "No, Mom, you care about Dad the most!"

Under the gaze of Lin's mother, Lin Qing let out a "Haha!" and ran away.

"I'm going to work first."

Mother Lin smiled helplessly.

Zhang Mengyun stood up straight at the door. He didn't even glance at Lin Qing who passed by him. He walked away...

Gone...

Zhang Mengyun's face bulged visibly.

This Lin Qing is too arrogant!

Lin Qing: What did you say! ?

It is estimated that Zhang Mengyun and Aunt Jiang will have more common language!

Lin Qingyi didn't notice this at all. She thought she was not very familiar with Zhang Mengyun. They just worked in the same office for a day and talked to each other for a while. They were strangers but familiar neighbors...

All signs indicate that the two parties are really not familiar with each other. How could they know that the other party has so many psychological activities?

Lin Qing arrived at the office, sat down and cleaned the desk.

Hmm~ I'm not that busy starting today.

After the accounting period, we entered a half-month rest period, and the tasks became much easier.

The busiest person in the entire office is probably Jin Jianhua who just arrived.

He just felt that the office was much quieter today, with only the scattered sounds of abacus. He was the only one in the entire office who was busy looking at the account book as usual.

Others were leisurely reading newspapers, while others were knitting sweaters.

Lin Qing was no exception. She read the newspaper while chatting with Sister Liu who was knitting a sweater next to her.

"Wow! Sister Liu, your wool is so soft!"

"Hey, right? This is the cashmere yarn I bought from the department store. It's only available this year, and one pound costs twelve yuan!"

"So expensive?" Lin Qing was also a little surprised. Ordinary wool yarn was only six yuan per pound, but this cashmere yarn was double the price.

But when I touch it in my hands, I find that the cashmere yarn is softer, and I guess it will be warmer if it is woven into a sweater.

"Do you want a ticket?" Lin Qing was a little tempted.

Sister Liu shook her head and said, "No ticket required! It's just expensive." I almost felt sorry for her when she spent the money.

"Do you want to buy it?"

"Yeah." Lin Qing nodded, "I plan to go to the department store during my holiday this week."

They are quite far from the department store, and it takes more than half an hour by bus to get there.

"Then you have to go early! I heard that this is the first year and they haven't received many products yet. If you go too late, they might be gone."

"Ah?" Lin Qing was flustered for a moment, but soon calmed down, "It's okay, buy it if you can, if not, wait until next year!" If the sales are good this year, we will definitely purchase more next year.

She believed that the purchasing director of the department store was not that stupid.

After saying the last sentence, Sister Liu felt that she was a bit alarmist, so she quickly comforted him, "It's okay, we'll be on holiday the day after tomorrow. I went shopping quite a lot last week when I was on holiday."

Sister Liu thought that there should still be some when Lin Qing went to buy it. After all, many people were waiting to see the newly arrived cashmere yarn, and even more people were deterred by the price.

There are still not many people who actually buy it.

Lin Qing was calculating how much wool would be needed to knit a sweater for everyone in the family.

The cashmere yarn in Sister Liu's hand looks a bit thicker than ordinary yarn. For knitting a sweater, men may need to keep two kilograms to avoid not having enough, while women may need one and a half kilograms.

By this calculation, including the two parents, a total of six people, they would need about ten and a half kilograms of cashmere yarn, which would cost more than one hundred yuan, which is almost her four-month salary.

However, these are all necessary. Just spend the money, you can always earn it back.

"What are you thinking about?" Sister Liu looked at her and became dazed as she spoke.

"I'm wondering how much wool my family needs!"

Sister Liu smiled and said, "Have you figured it out? How many pounds do you need?"

"About ten pounds."

"Oh my!" Sister Liu was also shocked by the number she revealed.

"About ten pounds?"

"Yes, one for each person in the family. That's probably all we need. If you can buy more, buy a little more and make a scarf for each person."

"You are really generous!" Sister Liu exclaimed.

The one in her hand was bought by her after she had been very determined to buy it, spending half a month's salary. With this money, she could only knit a sweater for her son, and she had no more.

The two of them spoke in a very low voice, but from their movements and expressions, you could tell they were talking about the wool in their hands.

Sister Tang suddenly noticed the movement here and ran over.

"Is this the new yarn you bought? It's so soft!"

"It's soft and peaceful, but it's really expensive!" Sister Liu felt heartbroken when she thought about the money she had spent.

"How much is one pound?" It can make you so heartbroken.

"Twelve yuan per pound." Lin Qing answered from the side.

"Twelve pieces?" Sister Tang was immediately shocked and her eyes widened. Is this really not funny?

Sister Liu nodded and said, "I only bought one and a half kilograms, which cost me half a month's salary."

Sister Tang stepped back and shook her head, "I can't afford it, I really can't afford it." Although her family has both parents working, the burden on the family is also heavy!

There are two elderly people above and four children below. Although the elderly still have a pension, she has more than one child!

Normally, our family can just satisfy our needs of eating and drinking and not feel hungry, but it is difficult to satisfy more needs.

If she saves a little, the family can still afford one or two ordinary sweaters every year, but she can't afford to spend twice as much to buy cashmere yarn.

“This is too expensive.”

"I heard there is a more expensive one, which is softer than this one and costs sixteen yuan per pound." Sister Liu suddenly remembered.

"So this is cheap?" Sister Tang was dumbfounded. Who could afford such expensive wool?

Lin Qing was also a little shocked.

Sister Liu and Sister Tang couldn't control their voices and they became louder, causing the office to become lively.

"What kind of wool is this? Why is it so expensive?" Many people came over and one of them reached out and pinched it.

He was gentle indeed, but when he thought of the price, he withdrew his hand that was about to squeeze it a few more times.

I can’t afford it, I really can’t afford it.

Many people, like Sister Tang, quickly backed away.

However, some people with more financial resources asked Sister Liu for information, and Sister Liu repeated what she had told Lin Qing before.

This cashmere yarn is really shocking. They can only buy three kilograms of it with their monthly salary...
