Chapter 12 Clothing
The underground warehouse is full of books that I have accumulated since elementary school, and there are even books such as Hulu Baby and Ultraman Daquan, of course, many of which have long been moldy and still have a strong musty smell. In order to sort out these moldy books, I really put a lot of effort into feeding. First, I organized the old books into a pile and packed them in cardboard boxes, and then organized the books from junior high school into several boxes, and the scratch paper, test papers, and textbooks and notebooks were sorted out separately.
I stacked the boxes on the right side of the underground warehouse, and piled the boxes into a "Tian" shape like stacking mahjong, and then, I gave the washing machines, refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, and computer cartons in the underground warehouse to the other party on the left side, of course, the distance between these boxes is not directly attached to the wall, but a small aisle of about 0 or 8 meters is left between the wall and these boxes, and I plan to place the small Jiaqi boxes there in the future.
My purpose in doing this is very simple, just to block the view with a box, so as to hide little Jiaqi, so that even if someone comes in, because there is a box as high as a refrigerator box, they may not be able to find Jiaqi in the first place.
Of course, there are many other things in the underground warehouse, such as wooden stools, Small tables, leather cut sofas, broken shoe cabinets and other miscellaneous furniture items, I also simply wiped them clean, and then thought about how best to block the view of the effect and then arranged them in an orderly manner, sofas and other large items I placed in front of the refrigerator box, deliberately blocking the road that can directly lead to the back of the refrigerator box, so that even if someone comes because there is a sofa in the way, they may not be too lazy to push the sofa open to find out.
After that, I washed a tablecloth and planned to hang it between the refrigerator carton and the wall after it was dry, so that it would hang down like a bed net, so that even if someone pulled the sofa and wanted to look behind the refrigerator carton, the cloth would also serve this purpose, which was a second line of defense.
After basically arranging the layout, I was already sore all over, and it took me several hours to carry large items such as sofas and stools, and I was so tired that I was out of breath.
But for the sake of hygiene, I still carried buckets back and forth, mopping the concrete floor and walls of the underground warehouse. With the warehouse door open, I plan to let it wind for a night, because the air in the underground warehouse is muddy and musty because it has been closed for many years, and it is difficult for people to survive without ventilation.
Then I sprayed some deodorant, which was kind of used to get rid of the musty smell.
Finally, it was almost 10 o'clock before I came to an end, and I was overwhelmed with emotion when I looked at the new underground warehouse.
I'm sorry, I haven't worked so the final cleaning in junior high school.
The dwarf of the underground warehouse is actually relatively large, with an area of 70 or 80 square meters, as far as the limit is concerned, you can park more than 10 cars, even if Xiao Jiaqi really grows up here in the future, it can also leave a little space for activities.
That night, I don't know if it was because I was too tired and slept too heavily or because Xiao Jiaqi was too teacher, I actually got half a good night's sleep. It wasn't until more than 5 o'clock that Jiaqi woke up crying and got up to nurse her.
The next morning, I went to the underground warehouse again, and found that after a night of ventilation, the musty smell had dissipated a lot, but the smell was still there, so I decided to let it wind for another day, and then put Jiaqi in the underground warehouse when I went to school tomorrow.
Although it would be about three days before my dad came back, I was still worried that he would suddenly come back when I was in school and find Jiaqi, so I had to put Jiaqi in the underground warehouse in advance.
In addition, I have also seen that as far as the facilities are concerned, in fact, there are faucets and three sockets in the underground warehouse, and there is no problem with the water and electricity supply.
After taking care of Jiaqi that morning, and looking at the unshakable layers of wrapping on Jiaqi's body, I began to plan to buy her a dress and a pair of baby shoes. Because when I came, Jiaqi had a wrapped old cloth coat and swaddling clothes, and there were no socks or shoes.
However, the thought of buying shoes for Jiaqi made me feel less courageous again.
Because, when I was a high school boy on the street to buy baby shoes and baby clothes, it was too conspicuous and embarrassing.
Even if I have the courage to buy milk powder and bottles, I still have a little bit of courage to buy baby clothes.
So all morning, I was torn between going to buy clothes and not going to buy clothes. In fact, I had already stuffed hundreds of dollars in my pocket at that time, but I still didn't have the courage.
After a long mental struggle, I finally gave up, and I planned to go around the baby clothing store and observe the environment before deciding whether to buy it or not.
After figuring it out, I rode my bicycle out again and went to the center of the city center to find a children's and baby clothes store.
Because it was the National Day period, there were still quite a lot of people in the city center, but at that time, there were not as many people with cars as there are now, so most people shopped on foot.
In the central square, there are still many stalls to buy food and small objects, and there are stalls that touch prizes and play ** at that time. It is worth recalling that the stall that touches the prize is generally 5 cents to touch once, and if you are lucky, you can win 5 yuan and 10 yuan, as for you accidentally hit more ...... The stall owner will directly ask you to go to the wholesale market and ask for money. It's clear that the cheat daddy.
Riding a bicycle around the city center, I have been looking for a store with fewer people, but during the National Day, all clothing stores are discounted, and there is an endless stream of people to buy, especially on the last day of the National Day, those aunts and aunts who missed the time a few days ago and did not come to buy are also collectively dispatched, clearly to make a big profit.
It seems that it is very unrealistic to find a clothing store with few people to buy baby clothes, and in the end I can only find a children's clothing store with a relatively small family, looking at the young or middle-aged aunts and young women in the store who are holding babies and leading children to see the clothes, I hesitated at the door for a while, and finally, I still clenched my fists, mustered up courage, and walked in.
Once inside, I visibly felt a few glances slipping towards me, and I felt my cheeks hot as boiling water, but I deliberately avoided those strange gazes and focused on the appropriate baby clothes.
Actually, before today, I really didn't know anything about baby clothes, but fortunately, there are two women in this store holding babies looking at clothes, and I can secretly look at the babies to compare them and understand what clothes the baby is going to buy.
Finally, after comparing the two babies, I probably knew that the baby basically wanted to buy: a jumpsuit, a thick cotton coat, socks, small shoes, and a hat like ice cream.
Then I look for clothes in the store based on what I observed.
Walking in the store, I felt uncomfortable, as if I had been wrapped in shackles, and I was very unhappy. Every time I glance at it, I can see an aunt or aunt looking at me with strange eyes, which makes me want to run out of this store.
Fortunately, although I was looked at, no troubled aunt came forward to talk about me, which made me retain a little self-esteem in the end, and I was not willing to delay and quickly found a few baby clothes that looked the right size.
Because I didn't know the size of Jiaqi, I couldn't have bought it properly, but at that time, I just wanted to buy two pieces and leave, and I didn't plan to do more research on the size.
Eventually, I squirmed over a pink cotton coat, a green jumpsuit, and baby shoes in the box. The shoes are really small, but they're cute and feel like miniature shoes.
Calculate the price, cotton clothes 40, one-piece clothes 50, shoes 35, socks only 5 yuan.
It's 130 in total, and I can still afford it.
I touched the money in my pocket, and I really gritted my teeth and made up my mind to do it, really.
With my cheeks hot, I lowered my head and pretended to grab the pink cotton shirt with my hands, quickly lifted the green jumpsuit, and then grabbed a pair of shoes and a pair of socks from a box not far away, and then walked quickly to the counter as if I were taking a small step.
"I buy these. I didn't talk nonsense, I just put these clothes on the table, and then took out two hundred yuan and spread them on the cash register, and asked the cashier with a hot face.
I really wanted to rush out with my clothes without even looking for money.
Seeing my actions, not only the aunts and aunts in the store, but even the cashier were dumbfounded.
"Hah...... Young man, this dress is for babies, and there is nothing you can't wear if you buy it. The cashier said in surprise.
"It's not. These clothes ...... It was my cousin who asked me to buy it for her child. Hurry up and calculate how much it is, I'm going to pay and leave. "I went straight and told the lie I had made up.
"No wonder. ”
I can imagine how blushing I was at the moment, because the cashier didn't embarrass me when he saw my shame, and pressed the calculator on the table.
"Charge you 130 yuan, find you 70. "The cashier finally told me the price very politely, and then he started to write invoices and print stamps.
Seeing that the cashier started to put up the stamp without asking me much, I finally felt that my pounding heart was finally calming down.
However, at this moment, something that I did not expect happened.
At that moment, I was almost out of my mind.
"Na, it's really Yang Jiandong. I'll just say yes, hehe. Yang Jiandong, why did you come to the children's clothing store to buy clothes for such a big person?"
The clear voice of a woman I knew very well sounded, and at that moment, my soul was gone!
"Little, Aunt Xiaofang!?"
