"I want a glass bottle, do you have one?"
Chu Tianzhi glanced at the salesperson whose expression changed instantly, and didn't take it seriously. Judging people by their appearance has been a long-standing practice since ancient times. If he cared about everything, he would be furious.
The salesperson took out two from the counter nearby and said, "There are only two left... If you want more, you'll have to wait until after the Chinese New Year."
"I want it."
Chu Tian took a look at the glass bottle in the salesperson's hand and found that the capacity was about 500 milliliters. Although it was not large, it could hold two bottles of oil and should be enough for his family to use for quite some time.
Chu Tian paid the money and walked towards Sun Weiguo who was lying on the counter looking at the cloth. When he approached Sun Weiguo, he found that his eyes were fixed on a piece of cloth with a red background and dark patterns on the counter. He approached him, pointed at the cloth and asked.
"You like this?"
Sun Weiguo scratched his head embarrassedly, "Hmm..."
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow, "For my future brother-in-law?"
Seeing Sun Weiguo's face turn red instantly, Chu Tian wanted to laugh in his heart, thinking that he is so innocent that he can even blush?
"If you like it, buy it. I have cloth coupons..."
Under Chu Tian's supportive gaze, Sun Weiguo looked at the salesperson at the counter shyly, "Comrade, I want this cloth..."
The salesperson was the same one who had just received Chu Tian. Although he looked down on Sun Weiguo, seeing Chu Tian buy things efficiently and effectively, his attitude towards Sun Weiguo also improved a lot.
"How many feet of cloth do you want?"
Sun Weiguo was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Seeing the salesperson's expression change, Chu Tian whispered, "Are you buying just the fabric for the top? Or are you buying the fabric for the pants as well?"
Sun Weiguo took a look at the red fabric with a dark pattern that he liked, imagined what it would look like if he made a suit out of it, and shook his head violently, "Brother Tian, this fabric won't look good on a suit, right?"
Chu Tian nodded slightly. "It doesn't look good. You can use navy blue or black pants. Well, if you want to wear it at your wedding, I think you can use the fabric used by your future sister-in-law to make pants and make a set of clothes. It will definitely look good when you stand with your sister-in-law!"
Seeing Sun Weiguo's eyes light up, Chu Tian looked at the salesperson and asked with a smile, "Comrade, we want this red-bottomed floral top and this navy blue fabric to make a pair of women's pants and his outfit. How much fabric do you think we should buy?"
The salesperson didn't answer how much he needed, but just asked again, "Are you sure you want these two colors? If I cut them open, I can't change them..."
Sun Weiguo nodded hurriedly upon hearing this, "Sure, sure!"
"Crack, sizzle..."
In just a few moves, the salesperson cut the cloth neatly and efficiently.
"Generally, a grown-up girl's top requires about four and a half feet of cloth. You also need to sew pockets, collars, and other things, which will take about five feet of cloth. Pants also need about two feet. Seven feet of cloth is enough for a whole set of clothes, which is about right. For a man, at least eight feet is needed. I see that you are not short, so it's better to ask for half a foot of cloth more!"
Chu Tian and Sun Weiguo listened and nodded seriously, with an expression that showed they had learned something.
The salesperson looked at the two people's serious expressions and couldn't help laughing. "I say, you two don't have to be so serious. Usually it's women who come out to buy cloth..."
“I, I, I…”
Sun Weiguo's face turned red instantly when he heard this, and he stammered for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.
Chu Tian patted Sun Weiguo on the shoulder, exchanged the money Sun Weiguo took out and the cloth coupons he took out of his pocket for the packaged cloth, looked at the salesperson and said casually with a smile, "Because we are all people who love our wives..."
The salesperson was stunned for a moment as he looked at Chu Tian and Sun Weiguo's backs as they walked out, then smiled and shook his head.
Sun Weiguo accompanied Chu Tian back to the educated youth site and carried the oil tank back into the dugout. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Chu Tian and go home, he saw Chu Tian take out two bottles of wine and a one-pound bag of Mohe cigarettes from his backpack, and followed him out of the dugout. Seeing that he was about to walk towards his home, he was very confused.
"Brother Tian, what are you doing?"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "I've always wanted to have a drink with the captain, but I never had the chance. Today I happened to have nothing to do, so I bought some wine and thought about having a drink with the captain..."
Sun Weiguo froze in his place, and said stupidly, "Huh?" Seeing that Chu Tian ignored him and walked away, he hurriedly pulled the carriage towards him and shouted, "Brother Tian, I'll go take the horses to the stable first..."
Chu Tian waved his hand without even looking back, "Go..."
Yao Xiujuan rolled up her sleeves in the dugout and began to wipe the inside of the jar with a cloth. "Wu Ya, help me scoop some water..."
Wu Ya responded loudly, "Mom, Wu Ya will go right away..."
When Yao Xiujuan was cleaning the tank, Wu Ya stayed by her side, helping her scoop water, handing her a rag, etc.
"Mom, where's Dad?"
Yao Xiujuan smiled and said, "Your father has something to do, and he will be back after dinner..."
Wu Ya blinked her eyes and asked innocently, "Daddy, are you going to drink again?"
Yao Xiujuan paused, turned her head to look at Wu Ya who was full of curiosity, and asked, "How did Wu Ya know that Daddy wanted to drink?"
Wu Ya tilted her head, thought for a while, and answered, "Daddy brought the same bottle to grandma's house..."
Yao Xiujuan was stunned. She didn't even notice what Chu Tian mentioned when he left. Unexpectedly, Wu Ya saw it and then replied with a smile, "Daddy has something to say to your captain grandpa. It's normal to have a drink in the middle..."
Wu Ya nodded obediently, "Wu Ya understands."
