Chapter 181: Buying Cloth
This era is not like later generations, where money can buy anything. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info buy cloth at this time, you need a cloth ticket, and the supply of cloth tickets for one person for a year will not add up to more than three feet. The clothes worn by the adults are worn by the adults in every household, and the clothes worn by the older children are changed to the younger siblings below.
Three years of the new, three years of the old, another three years of sewing and mending, a piece of clothing can only be worn until it can no longer be torn, and only then can it complete its mission as a piece of clothing. Don't think that the rags at this time can be thrown away, no matter how small the cloth is, you can use it to store the soles.
What village has such a good character? Can you get cloth to sell?
Zhou Yuanyuan's expression moved, took Zhou Jiasheng's little hand, and quietly followed behind the two little daughters-in-law.
In this era, even the supply of cloth for supply and marketing cooperatives is numerous. Zhao Guohui, as the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, his authority is only to get a few pieces of cloth, as for the three or five feet of cloth, Zhao Guohui must have a cloth ticket in his hand to buy it.
"Gui Fang, let's go back and talk about this. The little daughter-in-law, who was called Chunhua Niang, was startled, and quickly looked around, and found that no one had noticed what Gui Fang said, so she was relieved.
Chunhuaniang and Gui Fang are both from Lijia Village. Lijia Village is not far from Sanhe Town, only a dozen miles away. Chunhua Niang's name is Huang Weihong, and her mother's home is in Xiushui Village. Gui Fang's surname is Cao, and she is the second daughter-in-law of the village chief of Lijia Village.
Huang Weihong and Cao Guifang married into Lijia Village on the same day, and the two gave birth to two daughters and a son, with such a similar experience, Huang Weihong and Cao Guifang have had a good relationship over the years.
Huang Weihong went back to her parents' house yesterday and couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw that her mother's family, who had always been poor, had two more khakis. In this era, whoever buys cloth is three or five feet old, and Huang Weihong has never seen anyone who buys two pieces of cloth at once. Besides, when did her mother's family have so much money to buy two pieces of cloth?
Huang Weihong's sister-in-law wore new pants and showed off in front of Huang Weihong, saying that the cloth was brought back by the relationship between the brother-in-law Huang Weidong, and the Huang family had a share, but the sister-in-law who married out was not considered the Huang family.
Huang Weihong didn't have a good relationship with her sister-in-law when she was not married, although her eyes were hot, she couldn't say anything.
The old lady of the Huang family felt sorry for her daughter, and when she left, she secretly stuffed two pieces of cloth for Huang Weihong. One piece is blue and the other is cyan, saying that Huang Weihong's younger brother Huang Weidong specially left it for her.
The old lady of the Huang family also praised Huang Weihong for her youngest son, and after less than two months in the town, she not only brought back two pieces of cloth, but also gave her two yuan.
However, Huang Lao Niang has some regrets, so many cloths, and her own family can't wear them all, instead of cheapening her eldest daughter-in-law, it is better to take more money for herself!
Huang Weihong ignored the old lady's chatter and went home with two pieces of cloth. Huang Weihong is not stupid, although she doesn't know how her brother's cloth came from, but Huang Weihong doesn't believe the old lady's words very much.
No matter how capable his younger brother Huang Weidong is, he is only 16 years old, what can he do to get such a high salary? Thinking of the mysterious appearance of the old lady, maybe these cloths are not coming from the right way?
Coincidentally, Huang Weihong had just returned home, and before he could put away the two pieces of cloth, Cao Guifang came to visit the door.
The little daughters-in-law all like to compare, especially Cao Guifang, whose eyes widened when they saw Huang Weihong's poor jingle mother's family actually took out two pieces of khaki cloth as a return gift.
In order to dispel Cao Guifang's doubts, Huang Weihong had no choice but to say that the cloth was bought by himself from his mother's village, and the goods were not worth a few dollars.
Cao Guifang didn't say anything at the time, but she was worried about it in her heart. There were people coming and going in this market, Cao Guifang asked about the cloth violently, Huang Weihong was really afraid of causing trouble to his younger brother.
Cao Guifang thought that Huang Weihong had acquaintances in the supply and marketing cooperative, so she took the opportunity to mention the matter of cloth. Supply and marketing cooperatives sometimes have processed sub-cloth, *** genuine cloth is cheaper and a lot of money. But you have to have a big enough face to buy a piece.
Cao Guifang is also a good person, and seeing that Huang Weihong didn't answer her words, she had already judged that Huang Weihong's cloth was indeed not bought by the supply and marketing cooperative.
Along the way, Cao Guifang didn't talk about the cloth again, and Huang Weihong's high-minded heart finally fell back to its original place. After walking around the bazaar, the two bought all the things they wanted to buy.
Seeing that it was still early, Huang Weihong gritted his teeth and asked, "Gui Fang, do you have any money with you?"
"What do you want to do?" Cao Guifang's hand subconsciously protected the hidden pocket of his clothes, and looked at Huang Weihong vigilantly.
Cao Guifang had a lot of things to buy today, so she brought all the private money that the two of them had saved. Cao Guifang's family is not separated, and her parents-in-law are in charge, and it is not easy for the two of them to save some private money.
Although Cao Guifang has a good relationship with Huang Weihong, she is also afraid that Huang Weihong will ask her to borrow money. In this era, every household is short of money! Her second girl, during the Chinese New Year last year, saw that the eldest sister and younger brother had new clothes, but she didn't have them, and she had been making trouble for a whole year.
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy cloth?" Huang Weihong said vaguely. If it weren't for Zhou Yuanyuan's particularly sharp ears, he really couldn't hear what Huang Weihong said.
"Huh? That's great. Cao Guifang said happily, and then became a little frustrated: "Your mother's house is on the edge of the reservoir, far away from here, go now, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back in time at night!"
Huang Weihong looked around and saw two children playing about three meters away from them. Huang Weihong hurriedly said something to widen Cao Guifang's heart: "Who said to go to Xiushui Village, just in this town, I'll take you there." ”
Huang Weihong heard from the old lady that her younger brother lived in the town during this time. Huang Weihong knew that the little brother Huang Weidong was a fine man, and if he took home two pieces of cloth, he would not keep any of them in his own hands?
This Cao Guifang is the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, she just wants to buy cloth, she can sell her a face, and the younger brother can make money, why not?
"Huh? That's great. Chunhua Niang, thank you so much, for a new dress, my Erni has quarreled with me many times, and you have helped me a lot. As soon as Cao Guifang heard that the cloth had landed, a smile was piled up on her goose egg face.
Cao Guifang secretly weighed in her heart that Huang Weihong's family was not a rich family in their village, but seeing that her road was so wide now, she could even get a cloth that didn't need a ticket, so she couldn't be underestimated in the future.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng followed Huang Weihong and Cao Guifang, and after going around a few alleys, they came to the outside of a dirt wall.
The fence is about 1.7 meters high, which can block the sight of most people prying eyes.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng stood at the corner of the alley, not daring to follow too closely, so as not to be discovered by Huang Weihong and the others.
