Chapter 116: It was a free gift
The girl's mother pinched her slender waist out of anger, but the girl gritted her teeth and endured it without frowning.
Mo Honghua gritted her teeth and lowered her voice to teach her daughter a lesson, "You silly girl! It's obvious that these three people don't need this little bit of cloth. They're giving it to us for free, so why are you so eager to pay for it?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to use the money I saved to make you some clothes?"
"If you ask me, why buy red cloth? Besides wearing it on wedding days and during festivals, who wears such brightly colored clothes on other days?"
"It would be better to buy a few feet of blue cloth, which is more durable and won't break easily!"
Bai Shuangshuang said stubbornly, "You promised me that you would give me 20 yuan of the betrothal gift from the Zhou family, and I would let you know how to spend it. Are you going to break your promise now?"
Mo Honghua remained silent.
She was afraid that her daughter would become rebellious and say she didn't want to get married.
The mother and daughter followed Zhou Jingshen downstairs, and Zhou Jingshen asked them to wait at the fabric counter.
After Zhou Jingshen left, the lady at the counter came over and raised her eyebrows at the mother and daughter. "How is it? Is his family willing to give some of the red cloth to your family?"
In fact, she just asked this question unnecessarily.
She had already asked them to wait at her counter, so what else was there to not understand?
She was just bored and had nothing to say.
Mo Honghua was so angry that she wanted to complain to the lady at the counter. Tell me, is her daughter stupid?
She doesn't want the free red envelope!
She insisted on giving money!
She pinched the money in her pocket, feeling very reluctant to part with it.
If, if that tall man said again that we don’t need to pay for the ticket.
She just refused to give it to him!
It’s no use for Bai Shuangshuang to throw a tantrum!
Mo Honghua made up her mind and looked at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative with a determined look.
Soon, a tall, handsome and arrogant man came back holding a piece of red cloth.
He handed the cloth to the lady at the counter and said, "Please cut six feet off. Thank you!"
"Is six feet enough?"
The eldest sister asked Bai Shuangshuang.
Bai Shuangshuang nodded, "That's enough, I'll just make one top."
The lady at the counter picked up the scissors and deftly cut off six feet of cloth.
"alright."
She returned both pieces of fabric.
"How much is the ticket?" Bai Shuangshuang asked.
Zhou Jingshen glanced at her, his eyes showing some appreciation, "35 cents a foot."
The lady at the counter nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. You also need to give me cloth coupons of the same denomination."
That is, six feet of cloth would cost six feet of cloth coupons and two yuan and ten cents.
Bai Shuangshuang turned around and shouted, "Mom, give me money!"
Zhou Jingshen also looked at Mo Honghua with burning eyes.
Mo Honghua: “…” No, didn’t the female comrade who was about the same age as her say that she would send them off?
She felt a lump in her chest, choking her!
She thought bitterly, I didn't expect this young man to be so stingy!
She hesitated and reluctantly took out a few bills, counted them again and again, and handed them to Zhou Jingshen with gritted teeth.
At the same time, he turned around and glared at Bai Shuangshuang.
snort!
It was originally able to make two pieces of clothing, but now it’s gone!
Zhou Jingshen took the money, picked up the remaining red cloth, and left without looking back.
When he found Song Shuyan again, they had already reached the watch counter.
Song Shuyan silently pulled up a section of his sleeve to show Gao Sulan that she was wearing an exquisite plum blossom watch on her fair wrist.
"Auntie Gao...you really don't need to buy a watch. Look, mine is still brand new!"
Gao Sulan said generously, "It's okay, buy it, we can take turns wearing it."
“Really not necessary!”
“What a waste!”
Seeing that Song Shuyan was determined not to agree, Gao Sulan had no choice but to give up.
Seeing Zhou Jingshen coming over and his eyes fell on her wrist, Song Shuyan blushed and quietly put down her sleeves.
Zhou Jingshen blushed and looked away, then cleared his throat and asked, "Do you want to buy anything else?"
Gao Sulan took out the list from her cloth bag and opened it. "There are so many things to buy. You came just in time. Please help me carry them."
Next, Zhou Jingshen was directed by Gao Sulan to move things onto the car one trip at a time, like an ant moving house.
"Bought pots, pans, and utensils." Cross it out.
"I bought a washbasin and a kettle." Cross it out.
“Towel, toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash cup…” Cross it out.
Gao Sulan bought all kinds of things, big and small.
Song Shuyan reminded her several times, "I can just use the original ones for these things."
Gao Sulan blinked. "Didn't you notice that I bought everything in pairs?"
Song Shuyan's face turned red again.
The shopping spree lasted until the evening before Gao Sulan stopped.
After buying the things on the list, she took out the remaining tickets and looked at them carefully one by one, wondering what she could buy so that she could fill up her son's empty new house.
Zhou Jingshen couldn't help but remind him, "If you buy more, the car won't be able to fit it."
Gao Sulan raised her eyebrows and said, "It's okay, just tidy yourself up and squeeze it in."
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Gao Sulan asked Song Shuyan to sit in the passenger seat, and she ran to the back seat to squeeze in with the things she bought.
The three of them agreed to go to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
When they arrived, Gao Sulan got out of the car and walked into the restaurant first. She found a table and sat down. She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in big gulps. She slowly exhaled, "I'm so tired."
Zhou Jingshen looked at her like this, feeling both distressed and amused.
When we were visiting the supply and marketing cooperative, he urged me several times. Who said he wasn't tired?
Song Shuyan wanted to sit next to Gao Sulan, but she pushed him to the opposite side, "You two sit opposite each other!"
She gave him a sly smile, "I'll just sit here by myself."
Song Shuyan had no choice but to sit opposite with a blushing face, and even moved inward to make room for Zhou Jingshen.
After Zhou Jingshen sat down, he heated the dishes and chopsticks for Song Shuyan as usual.
Gao Sulan was stunned for a moment.
Hey, she seemed to have forgotten to heat the cup!
She quickly put down the cup and poured out the tea.
Ugh!
The waiter came over with a small notebook. "Same old order, would you like a clear-boiled old hen?"
"Yes." Song Shuyan nodded. She loved drinking chicken soup.
Gao Sulan looked up at the blackboard.
"Salted fish and eggplant casserole, what is it?"
The waiter said expressionlessly, "Would you like a sample?"
Gao Sulan nodded, "Then try it."
Song Shuyan also likes this dish, it goes well with rice!
She asked curiously, "Comrade, has your state-owned restaurant changed its chef?"
I have never seen this dish in a state-owned restaurant before.
“No.”
Their leader's relatives who lived by the sea sent him a few boxes of salted fish. The leader's family couldn't finish them, so they asked the chef to find a way to make them into dishes and sell them to customers.
The old kitchen owner took a look and thought that these salted fish were very suitable for making salted fish and eggplant casserole.
So, the restaurant served new dishes.
It’s just that not many people ordered it.
When people come to the restaurant to eat, their favorite dishes are still braised pork, pork elbow in sauce, stewed old hen, steamed spareribs, braised fish, etc...
After the dishes were served, Song Shuyan ate two bowls of rice with the salted fish and eggplant stew.
Zhou Jingshen and Gao Sulan were stunned.
Gao Sulan: My daughter-in-law is genuine and not pretentious at all!
Zhou Jingshen looked at Song Shuyan's slightly protruding belly with concern, "Are you not overeating?"
Who usually only eats half a bowl of rice?
