[Chapter 217 Chapter 217 Buying New Year's Goods]
“Aunt Shen!”
“Aunt Shen!”
That day, when Shen Yuyao was busy at the counter, she heard someone calling her.
When she turned around, she saw Bingbing and Xiuxiu, two children, standing on tiptoe and leaning on the counter, waving at her.
Shen Yuyao laughed immediately.
She walked over and touched Xiuxiu's head, then asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiu Xiu pointed behind her and said, "Aunt Qiao brought us here."
Only then did Shen Yuyao see Qiao An standing not far from the two children and smiling at her.
Oh, another new month has begun. It seems that it is Qiao An’s family’s turn to take care of the two children this month.
Seeing that Shen Yuyao was about to talk to him, Qiao An waved at her and said, "You go ahead and do your thing. We'll come over later."
After she said this, she greeted the two children.
Xiu Xiu imitated Shen Yuyao and said, "Aunt Shen, you do your thing, we will come to see you later."
Shen Yuyao couldn't stop laughing as she spoke, and her mind, which had been so busy just now, now felt a little clearer.
Shen Yuyao waved to the little girl and watched her skipping away.
Then she saw Joan leading the two little ones to the shoe and hat counter on the side.
She knew that Joan was choosing New Year's clothes for the brother and sister, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I feel that it is a lucky thing that the two brothers and sisters can be in Qiao An's house during the Chinese New Year.
At least Joan is generous.
While she was thinking about preparing something for her two children during the New Year, she continued to get busy.
Shen Yuyao was busy for more than an hour, and only breathed a sigh of relief at almost eleven o'clock.
Then she saw the three people coming down from the second floor carrying large and small bags.
They walked to the stairs and stopped in front of the tailoring stall where Master Ding was currently working. Then the two children talked to Ding Cuizhen for a long time.
Qiao An even took out a bag of snacks from her bag and stuffed it into Master Ding's pocket...
Shen Yuyao's eyebrows twitched even from a distance.
I always felt that Qiao An was too generous.
Speaking of giving things to her master, Shen Yuyao should be happy.
But the problem is-Qiao An has never had any contact with the master before!
I guess it’s because Bingbing and Xiuxiu are so easy to recognize, and she brought them to the building several times during the month they followed her.
So the two children knew the master.
When the master saw them with others, he naturally asked them about it.
It was just a small matter, and we only talked for a few minutes, but Qiao An gave me a bag of cakes...
Shen Yuyao rubbed her temples and began to think about what else she could give as a return gift at home.
While she was still thinking about it, Joan had already returned to her counter with the two children.
At this moment, the hands of the three of them were empty.
It was obvious that the master asked them to put all the big and small bags at the tailor's stall so that they wouldn't have to carry them back and forth.
Qiao An didn't know that her behavior made Shen Yuyao speechless.
She came over and leaned over the counter, and whispered to her excitedly, "Yuyao, I just saw your master. Your master looks so young! And the clothes he wears are very beautiful!
Your master said that she cuts and makes all her clothes by herself, and she also asked me to choose the cloth and make one for me!"
"And for me, grandma said she would make one for Xiuxiu and my brother too!"
Xiu Xiu was not even as tall as the counter. Qiao An was lying on the counter at the moment. She wanted to climb up but couldn't. She was so anxious that she jumped up and down and yelled.
Shen Yuyao: “…” It’s only been a short while and she’s already calling me “Grandma”.
Well, now she knew what the package of snacks was for.
If that's the case, Qiao An is not at a disadvantage.
The master's craftsmanship is something that ordinary people can't even ask for.
Shen Yuyao looked Qiao An up and down, and couldn't help but laughed and teased: "You and my master are getting to know each other very quickly."
Is this still the Qiao An who dares not say a word to anyone?
Qiao An said without hesitation, "That's your master! He's not an outsider, he's our elder. If he doesn't know, forget it. But if he does, you should still greet him."
Shen Yuyao: "..."
She suddenly didn't know what to say.
I just feel warm in my heart.
She originally came into this world alone. At that time, she was helpless and full of insecurity.
But now, in less than two years, Shen Yuyao already feels that there are many more people around her who are worth getting close to.
This feeling made her feel comfortable.
Shen Yuyao couldn't express how touched she felt, so she cleared her throat and changed the subject.
She asked, "What kind of cloth are you going to buy today and how much do you plan to buy?"
"Oh oh." Qiao An then remembered the purpose of his trip.
She said: "Today I am mainly planning to buy them some clothes for the New Year. You can choose what is suitable for them and something festive. I don't quite know what to choose for the children, and I don't know how much to tear."
Shen Yuyao nodded.
Then she looked at Qiao An again: "You don't want to choose?"
Qiao An waved her hand and said, "My husband Feng brought me a piece of woolen material last time. I plan to ask Master Ding to cut it into a coat for me. I won't choose anything else."
Hearing her say this, Shen Yuyao didn't ask any more questions.
She walked out of the counter with a tape measure, walked over to the two children, and squatted down to measure their sizes.
Only then did Shen Yuyao realize that the two children were wearing two identical small-sized military uniforms under their cotton-padded jackets!
And the uniform looked new.
Shen Yuyao could see clearly without asking that this military uniform must have been prepared by Qiao An.
This is probably because Director Feng's brand new military uniform was dismantled and then two new sets were cut.
Shen Yuyao once again refreshed her perception of Qiao An's generosity.
It is normal for children in military compounds to wear military uniforms, but those uniforms are usually altered from adults' military uniforms that are really worn out.
If there are many brothers and sisters in the family, it is normal for their clothes to be patched up.
This is probably the only case in the entire military compound where a brand new military uniform has been altered for a child to wear.
Although Shen Yuyao had seen a lot and her hands were loose, she was still reluctant to take out a new military uniform from Cheng Liyan to be altered.
The main thing is that the military uniform is only replaced every three years!
Men go out in the wind and rain every day, and they don’t even have enough clothes to wear.
Of course, this is just Shen Yuyao's own thought, and she won't say it out loud.
She measured the two children, patted Bingbing on the shoulder and said, "OK, you've grown taller."
Then he went back to the counter.
Bingbing was so excited that his face turned red.
The little guys are starting to move around now.
In addition, because Yuan Ping had previously pushed her two children out of the house like a ball, many family members in the army felt sorry for the children and took better care of them.
From time to time, someone would send them something, and Aunt Cheng and Aunt Qiao would occasionally take them home for dinner.
With adequate nutrition, the brother and sister have indeed grown a lot recently.
