Chapter 79 Buying Fur Coats
It was still early, and Gu Tang yawned, took off his clothes, and lay back on the bed to continue sleeping.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside.
I looked at the time on the system panel. It was 7:30 in the morning.
This time is perfect for staying in bed, especially in winter, when you really don't want to get up and just want to spend the whole morning in bed.
Unfortunately, this is not my home. I still have to go shopping today. I can’t stay in bed anymore. I have to get up.
Gu Tang sat up shivering and quickly put on his clothes.
In just a short while, my fingers were numb from the cold.
The temperature today is already minus five degrees Celsius. Her father and Gu Ping'an don't have fur coats, so she doesn't know if they can hold on today.
There are a lot of things to buy, so it will probably take most of the day.
Wearing a padded jacket that did little to keep out the cold, the father and son accompanied her outside to go shopping. Even if she could hold on, she would probably get sick when she came back.
It seems that I have to buy fur coats for the father and son first.
After washing up with the hot water on the stove in the room, Gu Tang opened the door, put his hands into his sleeves, and went to look for the father and son.
The father and son are still not awake. One drank too much yesterday, and the other went to bed at three or four in the morning.
At this moment, the father and son were sleeping soundly, each one better than the other.
I can’t sleep any longer. It’s already eight o’clock. After getting up and washing up, it’s almost time for dinner.
Gu Tang raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times, then shouted a few times into the house to wake up the father and son.
As soon as the father and son in the room opened their eyes, they saw the bright light coming from the window. They were startled and thought they had overslept, so they got up and dressed in a hurry.
After getting dressed, Gu Pingan opened the door and let Gu Tang in. He asked her anxiously what time it was: "But we got up late? What time is it?"
"It's not too late. It's not even 7am yet." Gu Tang reached out to help him straighten his collar and gently pushed him: "Go comb your hair. It's a mess."
When I walked inside, I saw her father combing her hair. After combing it a few times casually, he wrapped her hair with a cloth strip and tied it on top of her head.
Then he picked up the kettle on the stove and poured the hot water into the basin.
There is leftover cold water from yesterday in the basin. After mixing them together, it can be used to wash your face at just the right temperature.
Seeing her father's hurried movements, Gu Tang said, "Take your time. There's no rush. I got up early today, so you didn't get up too late."
Gu Lianshan nodded randomly while quickly washing up.
Then he urged his son to wash up quickly, and turned around and said to Gu Tang: "The things we need to buy today are too many and too diverse. We can't waste time. It's best to buy them all today."
After Gu Ping'an finished washing up, the father and his two sons went to eat first.
After finishing their meal, they went back into the house to pack their luggage, asked the waiter to bring their ox cart over, and prepared to pay the bill and leave.
The new yard can be occupied after being decorated today. There is no need to spend extra money to stay in an inn.
After paying for the room and meal, Gu Tang went to check the chickens and ducks on the ox cart.
You know what, the work is different after receiving the copper coins. The forty chickens and ducks are very energetic and look very happy.
Gu Tang was very happy, and secretly gave the young man five copper coins behind her father's back as a way of thanking him for his kindness.
The young man was sturdy and had a festive and honest look. He bowed to Gu Tang repeatedly to express his gratitude and personally escorted Gu Tang out of the inn.
As soon as they left the inn, a cold wind blew in their faces, instantly penetrating the clothes of Gu Lianshan and Gu Ping'an, father and son, and they lost all warmth all over their bodies.
His upper and lower teeth kept knocking against each other, and he climbed onto the ox cart with stiff hands and feet, as if he had lost half his life.
Gu Tang gave the rabbit skin blanket she had with her to her father. As for Gu Ping'an, he could only endure it for the time being.
After wrapping himself in a blanket, Gu Lianshan took a long time to recover and asked Gu Tang: "Which store should we go to first?"
"Just walk along this street, and if you see anything you want to buy, stop and look.
The chickens and ducks in the car need to be sent home first. We can’t take them to buy things, and there’s no room in the car to put them.”
Walk to the end of this street and turn a corner to reach the new courtyard.
It’s not far, so we can still buy some time.
"Okay! Send the chickens and ducks to the new home first." Gu Lianshan patted the chicken coop. These chickens and ducks were bought at a high price, so they had to be settled first.
He whipped the ox lightly on its back and drove the cart forward along the road.
The ox cart was not moving very fast, so that Gu Tang could observe the shops on both sides of the street more easily.
Not long after walking, Gu Tang saw a cloth shop.
The cloth shops here not only sell cloth, but also ready-made clothes, custom-made clothes, mattresses and quilts, etc.
In addition to these, they also sell some old clothes, as well as some clothes and quilts that have been mortgaged and are not redeemed.
The former was purchased by the cloth shop itself, and the latter was bought at a low price from the pawnshop.
Gu Tang glanced at Gu Ping'an, who was huddled in the car with her arms folded and shivering all over, and shouted to her father, asking him to pull over.
Gu Lianshan thought his daughter wanted to buy bedding, so he quickly pulled the ox cart to the side.
Without waiting for the ox cart to stop, Gu Tang jumped off the cart impatiently and walked into the cloth shop.
Seeing this, Gu Lianshan draped his blanket over his son, told him to take care of the ox cart, and then followed.
His daughter has big hands and doesn't know how to bargain, so he has to help her bargain.
In the winter in Bei'an City, except for the charcoal and firewood businesses which are booming, all other businesses are almost deserted.
The owner of the cloth shop has not opened for two days.
If we don’t open today, it will have been three days since we opened.
Ever since she opened the shop in the morning, she had been anxious and worried. She stared at the door and secretly prayed to God, hoping that some customers would come so that she could open her shop.
Just after I prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in heaven, Gu Tang happened to walk in.
The shopkeeper, who thought that the gods and Buddhas were working, grinned and hurriedly came out from behind the counter to greet the customer: "Hello, young lady! What do you want to buy? Clothes? Fabric?"
Gu Tang glanced at the shopkeeper. What made him so happy? Look at the way he smiled, revealing his upper and lower rows of teeth, which were yellow and uneven!
After clearing his throat, Gu Tang looked away and asked, "Do you have any bedding or fur coats?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled even more happily: "Yes, yes, yes! Just wait, I'll bring it out to you right away."
Bedding and fur clothes!
Neither of these are cheap!
This deity is really effective. I must burn incense when I come back! I must burn incense.
Behind the counter were several large cabinets containing bedding and clothing.
The shopkeeper opened the cupboard and first took out two or three quilts made of different fabrics, and then took out a few fur coats in bright colors.
You can tell at a glance that this color is very suitable for a girl of Gu Tang's age.
Gu Tang also liked it and asked, "Do you have any fur coats for men? And fur coats for teenagers? If you have any, bring them out for me to see."
