The two children were asleep, and Gu Qinghuan's biological clock prevented her from falling asleep at eight o'clock.
I figured out what I needed at home and decided to place an order at the vending machine so I could bring some back tomorrow.
First of all, we need thick quilts for the winter. We need to buy at least two beds, two here and two in the cowshed.
The old one in the east room was no longer warm and was very thin.
Then there are winter clothes, shoes and socks. Two children need to prepare at least two sets of changes.
Cotton-padded coats and trousers, autumn coats and trousers, sweaters and trousers, as well as cotton shoes and socks, hats, gloves, underwear and so on.
Xu Huaian also had to prepare two sets, as he would always be lying in bed.
The relatives in the cowshed also had to prepare two sets of clothes each, not to mention herself. She had taken apart all her old clothes and sewed them for her uncle.
That’s more than ten sets of clothes. It’s scary just to think about it. She must have done it all by herself.
And my younger brother who was originally far away in Beijing, I don't know if he has thick clothes and socks to wear in winter, but he is the only son of his scumbag father after all, so he shouldn't worry about food and clothing, right?
By the way, we also need to prepare a few locks at home, one for the front door, two for the rooms, and one for her food cabinet.
Winter was approaching, and in previous years I had heard of people starving to death. When people were full, evil thoughts would arise. If someone stole my attention, who would I turn to for justice? Besides, there was also Liu Guifang, a habitual offender.
After roughly thinking about what he wanted to buy, Gu Qinghuan opened the vending machine and started looking through it.
There are many kinds of quilts, including cotton quilts, wool quilts, down quilts, soybean quilts, silk quilts, etc.
The most common quilt in this era must be cotton quilt.
I added a 10-pound quilt to the shopping cart, and I bought the largest size.
I also got a few floral bed sheets that were typical of the era.
Then there are the padded clothes. She originally wanted to make them herself, but the dozen or so sets she had to make discouraged her from doing so. Summer clothes are fine, but winter clothes require cotton filling, which is too troublesome.
With a try-it attitude, Gu Qinghuan typed: old-fashioned cotton jacket.
I didn’t expect it to be true.
Here are a bunch of Internet celebrities wearing Northeast China's big flowered shirts. I don't know when this thing became popular, but it looks quite similar.
There are red, pink, green, purple and all kinds of colors, with small flowers, which looks festive.
If you put it on and walk around the village, you will definitely be the envy of others, the most beautiful girl in Xujiatun.
I added them to the shopping cart directly, but I was embarrassed to buy the pink and red ones, so I finally chose one with a yellow background and blue flowers, and one with a navy blue and white flowers, both of which are thicker.
There is also a thin cotton dark purple floral dress, which is suitable for her to wear during this period. She has run out of clothes at home.
Pair it with two pairs of old black cotton trousers and you're all set.
It just so happened that this store also had sizes for little girls, so Gu Qinghuan chose a bright red and a pink one for Beibei, as little girls wanted to wear something brighter.
I also wore two pairs of black pants.
My grandparents and mom would definitely buy clothes in such bright colors.
Gu Qinghuan tried to input: old-fashioned cotton shirts for middle-aged and elderly people.
The products they bought this time are suitable for their situation. They are all old-fashioned styles, and there are both men's and women's styles.
Gu Qinghuan found a store that seemed to have good quality and directly bought cotton coats and trousers for grandparents, mother, and Xu Huaian.
They are all black and blue, durable and eye-catching.
Dabao searched for children's cotton clothes separately and bought two sets, one black and one blue.
After choosing the ones outside, it’s time to go inside.
Search for vintage autumn pants, sweaters and trousers.
We have everything.
Thanks to Pluto for the vending machine, but she must still be working hard to make clothes and knit sweaters, especially sweaters, which take a long time to knit one by one.
It is really very convenient. The sweaters and trousers knitted by the machine are soft, comfortable and cheap, which is much better than knitting them by yourself.
Gu Qinghuan directly added each person to the shopping cart, two sets of autumn clothes and pants, two sets of sweaters and pants, and three pairs of woolen socks for each person.
There are also very few underwear and pants. Men only need three pairs of pants, while women need to prepare underwear in addition to pants.
The vest that her original body used before was so unbearable that it had several holes in it, so she threw it away and now wears her old underwear.
All she had to do was prepare two sets of underwear for her grandmother and her mother. She chose a very exaggerated vest-style bra, which was better than a vest but not too advanced.
Finally, there are shoes, which are easier to solve.
Direct search: old-fashioned cotton shoes.
There are so many of them, all kinds of styles for men, women, young and old, and they are so cheap. After all, I went to a certain website and a pair of cotton shoes was only 19.9 yuan, including shipping.
Gu Qinghuan also felt sorry for them, so he simply chose two pairs for each person to wear alternately.
Thanks to the tailoring, Gu Qinghuan could tell everyone's size at a glance, and then buy a little bigger as much as possible, as there should be no problem with the size.
As for the lock, search for old-fashioned hanging locks.
Just choose a large lock for the main door and buy a few smaller locks for room doors and cabinet doors.
Click on the shopping cart to confirm the checkout.
At first glance, these things added up to two hundred and sixty yuan and eighty cents.
It sounds like a lot, but you have to know that her entire net worth is only 3,000 yuan, and she has been spending less now.
Xu Huaian's two-year pension added up to only 360 yuan, but she spent more than 260 yuan on this. No matter where the money is, it's really a waste.
But it is necessary to spend.
Having solved the problem of keeping warm in winter, I feel a little relieved.
I'm starting to have a headache about what to send to my uncle tomorrow.
People's minds are unpredictable these days. She knows how much of the things she sent are left in her uncle's possession.
They were not allowed to leave it, and the things sent by family members were only signed for by the village cadres and then passed on to them.
It's okay to meet a nice person, but if you meet a kind-hearted person, he will give you everything.
This is why she disguised her military coat to look tattered.
Gu Qinghuan thought about it and decided to send some things over first to test the waters. If his uncle and his family didn't accept them, he would send more when the time came.
Forget about the fine grains, as they would be too conspicuous, so she prepared ten kilograms of dark flour and ten kilograms of corn flour.
I ordered another box of 100 catties of rye steel bars from the vending machine.
In fact, it is a whole-wheat meal replacement biscuit, commonly known as an adult grinder.
It is sugar-free and tastes delicious, but it makes you feel full and hungry.
The most important thing is that it looks black and ugly, but it tastes bad, so those people must be confused.
They have food and clothes, but they also need some money to survive.
Gu Qinghuan thought about it, took out ten yuan and sewed them into the interlayers of his military coat.
If my uncle and aunt had received it, they would have opened it and checked it, and they would have discovered it by then.
She still felt that the clothes were a little unsafe, so she bought a bottle of prank deodorant and sprayed it on the two clothes. For a moment, the whole room was filled with stink.
My eyes hurt from the smoke, so I should get insurance.
Gu Qinghuan folded the boxes and packed them up, and packed the food and biscuits together, preparing to send them to the county tomorrow.
Actually, I could have sent it at the commune, but I happened to be going to the county to pick someone up, so I took it with me.
