This is actually a diamond-studded Patek Philippe. A watch of this brand would cost at least five figures in modern times.
The women's watch in Qi Mengmeng's hand is probably worth more than six figures, but why would Grandpa Qi give such a women's watch to Qi Zhijun?
Qi Mengmeng thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Qi Zhijun walked away quickly, so she could only ask next time. She put the watch into the space and went to eat her dinner.
In the next few days, Qi Mengmeng kept knitting sweaters at home. She knitted a sweater for Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling, and also made a quilt.
The weather is getting colder and colder. It looks like it's going to snow. Qi Mengmeng is worried that Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling will catch a cold.
Qi Mengmeng asked Li Laidie about the weather here. It will definitely snow in the twelfth lunar month. Although it is not as cold as in the Northeast, it will still be minus 20 degrees Celsius.
The thatched hut where Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling live doesn’t have a kang. I don’t know how they can survive in such weather.
Qi Mengmeng felt that next time she went there, she would have to think of a way to find them a new place to live, otherwise, they would probably freeze to death.
There was a lot of wool at home, so Qi Mengmeng simply knitted a sweater for Meng Laosi and Liu Dajiang respectively.
Among the things Qi Huilan sent over were the money from Meng Laosi and the tickets from Liu Dajiang.
Even the best relationships need to be maintained. Qi Mengmeng is not the type of person who would take advantage of others, so she took out a lot of nutritious things from the space.
There is also a very thick blanket in the space. It was made by a friend in her hometown. I wanted her to help me sell it, but it is too thick and many people don’t like it.
Unfortunately, this kind of blanket is not common, so Qi Mengmeng can only send one back, otherwise it would be too weird.
Qi Mengmeng packed up her things but didn't take them out. She hadn't gone out in days and it would be difficult to explain why she was carrying so many things.
After breakfast that day, Qi Mengmeng went out with a basket. She first went to the city to send something to Qi Huilan, and then went to the village.
Li Lai Di happened to be out, and she took two quick steps to catch up with Qi Mengmeng.
"Mengmeng, are you going out?"
Qi Mengmeng took out the sweater from the basket and showed it to her, "I knitted this sweater for my uncle."
Li Lai Di saw that there were other things in there besides the sweater, but seeing that Qi Mengmeng didn't want to say anything, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Mengmeng, this wool looks good. Where did you buy it?" Li Lai Di was also tempted and wanted to knit one for Xu Daming.
"I bought it at the department store. It was Su Meng who came last time. She sells wool in the department store. Now that the weather is cold, there are probably a lot of colors. You can go over and take a look."
When Li Lai Di heard the word "department store", she asked about the price first. Qi Mengmeng told her the prices of the two kinds of yarn.
Li Lai Di gritted her teeth when she heard this. The price was too high and she was reluctant to spend it.
She asked Qi Mengmeng if there was any defective yarn.
Qi Mengmeng shook her head and said she didn't know. She knew that Su Meng had a limited number of defective yarns. Besides, the weather was cold now and many people were buying yarns, so she couldn't make the decision for others.
Li Lai Di was a little disappointed after hearing this. She was not familiar with Su Meng, and Xu Daming and Li Zhuang were not that close either. It was not easy for her to go directly to Su Meng to buy the defective wool.
Qi Mengmeng saw that she was still in deep thought and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
Li Lai Di came back to her senses: "I'm going to the village to buy some things."
At this time, the crops in the fields have been harvested. You can go to the village and buy some peanuts, melon seeds, etc., fry them at home, and save them for New Year's Day.
Villagers would also sell pine nuts, chestnuts and other fruits picked up from the mountains.
Qi Mengmeng nodded and said she could buy some when she went to the village later.
The two walked for a while and then separated. Li Laidi went to find her sister Li Pandi, and Qi Mengmeng rode away on her bicycle by herself.
She first went to the department store, looked at the fabrics, and bought a few pieces of homespun cloth. This kind of fabric was dark in color and not many people bought it.
When the salesperson saw that Qi Mengmeng only wanted this cheap fabric, she curled her lips, rolled her eyes, and wrote out the invoice and collected the money.
Qi Mengmeng didn't argue with her and pretended not to see her little action.
The color of the homespun cloth is not pretty, but it suits Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling very well. Only by wearing clothes like this and putting a few patches on them can they not stand out.
Qi Mengmeng bought another thermos. Now that the weather is cold, it is necessary to have an extra thermos.
She originally wanted to buy cotton shoes for the two elderly people, but she was worried that such cotton shoes would be too conspicuous, so she hesitated and did not buy them.
Just imagine, it is a bit strange for two old people wearing patched clothes to wear new cotton shoes.
After Qi Mengmeng bought the things, she put them all in the basket, found a place where no one was around, and took out a cotton quilt.
Qi Huilan made a cotton jacket for her with the cotton she sent back. She didn't know if there was enough for her family, so she simply sent some cotton batting back and asked Qi Huilan to make a new quilt.
With the cotton mattress, Qi Mengmeng's nutritional supplements and dried vegetables would not be so conspicuous.
The post office staff's eyes widened when they saw these in-demand items, and they wanted to open their mouths several times, but Qi Mengmeng pretended not to see anything.
It’s okay for her to send the cotton quilt to Qi Huilan, but once she starts selling it, it will be difficult to explain the source.
So no matter who asks, the answer is no.
After sending all the things away, Qi Mengmeng wrote another registered letter.
Although people of this era are relatively simple, the things Qi Mengmeng sent are all good things, so it would be better to notify Qi Huilan in advance.
After sending the things, Qi Mengmeng went to a supply and marketing cooperative and bought glutinous rice noodles, trough cakes, animal biscuits and malted milk. These things can fill her stomach when she doesn't have time to cook.
Seeing that they were almost at the restaurant, Qi Mengmeng went to the state-owned restaurant and bought ten meat buns and a box of braised pork.
The weather was cold, so she wrapped these things tightly and put them in the quilt so that they would still be hot when she ate them later.
She ordered another bowl of chicken leg noodles despite the waiter's disdain. After eating the noodles, she instantly felt much warmer.
She put a few handfuls of instant noodles in the things she gave to Grandpa Jiang. When she didn't want to cook, she could just cook the instant noodles to save trouble.
Qi Mengmeng rode her bike to the thatched hut first, but the hut was cold and looked like no one had lived there for a long time. Qi Mengmeng was stunned for a moment.
Where are Mr. Jiang and Zhang Meiling?
She went to the thatched hut next door to check, but there was still no one there. However, she noticed that the hut was very empty, as if all the things had been moved away, but she didn't know where they had been moved to.
Qi Mengmeng thought about it and rode her bike to Mrs. Song's house. It would be right to ask Mrs. Song about this matter.
When Mrs. Song saw Qi Mengmeng, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Hey, sister, you're here. Let me tell you, I saved something good for you."
