The question is whether they are willing to sell.
Seeing that the old man and his wife both liked these furniture, Yan Rushan was amused and said, "I can ask the owner of the house again. If they are willing to sell it, we can spend a little more money."
"Yes, it's okay to spend a little more. Money can't buy what you love. Besides, you can't lose money by buying a house. With the trend of the times, housing prices will definitely skyrocket in a few years." Think about the high housing prices in the future. If you buy a house now, you will make a fortune.
Yan Rushan smiled gently as he listened to his wife talk about the benefits of buying a house. They had bought quite a few properties in recent years, a small portion of which was in the countryside, and some of them also had houses in provincial cities. Their headquarters was in Shangjing, so they had also bought a lot of houses there.
"I'll do as you say."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled. All these will belong to her sons in the future. Now she is working hard to accumulate family assets; she wants her sons to not only become rich second-generations, but also become real estate second-generations.
Of course, being called the second generation of rich is just talk, and it is impossible to give out all these things until the day they die. Firstly, they cannot let their sons have the idea of getting something for nothing, and secondly, they have to see what kind of wives they marry.
After being happy, Zhong Yuxiu looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, Rushan and I will go buy some quilts and mattresses and look for some fabrics that can be used. If possible, we will move here today." It is not convenient to stay in a hotel.
"Okay, be careful when you go out." The old man nodded and turned his gaze to Wang Daya and the others. "Put the children down, and go help get the things. We are short of everything and need to make a big purchase."
Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi had no objection. After agreeing, they put the child next to the old man. They turned around and followed Yan Rushan and his wife. Naturally, Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong also accompanied them.
The old man, Feng Zheng and three children were left at home.
The group walked out of the gate of the house and first went to find a place that sold ready-made mattresses and quilts. After asking, they found out that they only sold mattresses and quilts, not quilt covers, which means they still needed to buy the quilt covers.
This is understandable. Every penny earned is a penny earned.
Although fabrics these days are not as hard to come by as they were in previous years, the time has not been too long; and fabrics are not something you can afford whenever you want, so there is no problem in selling them separately.
"Boss, what are the specifications of the mattresses and quilts here?"
The boss was a fat, dark man who looked quite kind when he smiled. "The sizes vary. I don't know what you'd like to buy."
"Is there one that's 1.8 meters by 2 meters?"
"Yes, but there's only one quilt of this specification," the boss quickly explained. "There are five quilts that are 1.6 meters by 1.8 meters. There aren't many quilts that are two meters long."
Zhong Yuxiu expressed her understanding of this. Quilts that are 1.8 meters by 2 meters only became popular in the early 2000s. Now, most quilts are 1.5 meters by 1.6 meters, and there are even shorter ones. If people want to make a quilt that suits their taste, many of them buy cotton and quilt covers and make them at home.
"Show us."
"Okay, everyone, wait a moment."
The boss turned around and went to the back to bring out the largest and widest quilt. "Look, this quilt is a good one. It was made only a few days ago. It was even exposed to the sun for two days. It still smells like the sun."
"It's good, but it's a bit thick. Do you have a thinner one?" This quilt weighs at least eight kilograms. In such hot weather, I'm afraid I'll get prickly heat if I cover myself with this kind of quilt.
"We don't have any thin ones. If you're not in a hurry, I can make you a new one. You decide the weight." The boss was very helpful. Zhong Yuxiu pondered, "We're in a hurry. Do you have a thinner quilt that's 1.6 meters by 1.8 meters?"
"some."
The boss smiled and walked to the ladder next to him. On the ladder was a small two-story wooden building. The boss climbed up and threw down a few beds. At that time, people did not use cement to pave the ground. They used stones and black mud. After pressing and flattening it, the ground would become very strong and durable, and there would be no dust.
The boss came down the stairs and opened a sack to show them. "Look, these are thin quilts, about two or three pounds each. There are two quilts in here that are 1.8 meters by 2 meters. They meet your requirements."
"Look." Zhong Yuxiu raised her eyebrows.
The boss opened all the sacks and took out the two largest quilts. He carried them to the table in the shop and unrolled them for them to examine. "My table is two meters long. When the quilts are stretched out, they will fit perfectly with the table."
"Not bad." Zhong Yuxiu raised her eyes and looked at Yan Rushan, "What do you think?"
Yan Rushan gave her a reassuring look and looked at the owner of the shop. "Are the quilts all stuffed with new cotton?"
"It's all new cotton, don't worry. I've been working here for decades. Back when this place was specialized in cotton fluffers, I started working here back then. I only took over this shop after private ownership was allowed. It's not worth ruining my reputation over a few quilts."
"Since you say so, then we believe you; we want seven beds, two large ones, and five that are 1.8 by 1.6 meters."
"No problem." A thin quilt is made big so that it does not consume too much cotton, and the boss is not stingy with the labor fee; however, once the quilt is thicker, more cotton will be required, and it will be more troublesome to press it. In addition, not many people need such a big quilt now, and many people think that a quilt of 1.8 meters is too big.
In this environment, the boss naturally would not make too many long and wide quilts.
I successfully bought seven quilts, seven mattresses, and fourteen sets of sheets. I didn't have time to wash them today, so I'll just use one first while I wash the other seven. In strong sunlight, they'll dry completely after a day or two of washing.
Wait until the washed sheets and quilt covers are dry before replacing them with the ones you are using now.
Being away from home is never as good as being at home. Even Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi feel that it is inconvenient. Whether in the compound or in Hongxing Village, life goes on as usual. It has never been as difficult as it is now, even changing the bed covers.
After moving the things back home, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi saw how many things they had brought back; they left the child with the old man to look after, and helped Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong to lay out the bedding and sheets, put on pillows and quilts in the room where they would sleep, and cleaned it so that they could sleep that night.
Then, they went to clean the seven sets without quilts; fortunately, although many things here were inconvenient, there were still wells, buckets, and towels for wiping things.
While they were working, Yan Rushan went out alone and bought new towels, cups, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pots and pans, and daily necessities. It was impossible to carry so many things home by himself, so he asked the grocery store owner to help deliver them to his home.
The yard was swept and tidied, their luggage placed in the wardrobes of their chosen rooms, and they had their food and supplies. To ensure a comfortable meal, they didn't go out to eat. Instead, Wang Daya and Feng Zheng went out to buy some meat and vegetables and set the table.
