Chapter 33: Buying Yarn
Because of the time of entering the village, the people of Songjiazhuang did not know that Song Bao's family had returned, and they did not hear the news until the next day.
And on this day, Xi Wanli is going to work with Song Erzhu and Song Weiguo, Song Weimin continues to go to school, and Song Baojia is ready to go to the county seat with Huanxi to see his aunt Song Damei.
This opportunity was not easy to win because of Huan's preferences, and Song Baojia didn't plan to take her with her.
"This is the peanuts for your aunt, the last time your aunt came, she was too busy, I didn't think about it at all, and these fungus, which were picked by your little aunt, have been dried, you can bring them with you." Song Erzhu handed a small sack of peanuts and fungus wrapped in mulberry paper to Song Bao's family, and did not forget to remind: "You can take care of Huanxi, don't let her get lost." ”
Song Baojia nodded in response, and his expression was not impatient at all.
Huanxi was carrying a military kettle, which was boiled water that had been cooled a long time ago, and he was going to drink it on the road. This military kettle was brought back by Song Bao's family this time, and it was an extremely foreign thing in this era.
If Song Bao's family was alone, he would definitely use it, but with joy and so many things, it would be unrealistic to walk to the county seat with his feet. However, there is no bus from the town to the county seat, he thought about it and decided to take Huanxi to the town first, he has a few friends in the town, and it is not a problem to borrow a bicycle.
Song Baojia was carrying something in his hand, so Huanxi could only follow all the way to the town, he was worried that his sister would lose her temper halfway, he planned it, and let his sister sit on his shoulder when the time came. The result was beyond his expectations, and until he arrived in town, Huanxi never cried out that he was tired, even though she was already sweating on her forehead.
My sister is so sensible, Song Baojia is proud and distressed, and when she saw someone selling soda, she bought a bottle for Huanxi.
Huanxi was actually not interested in this kind of drink made of pigments and flavors, but it was the eldest brother's intention, and she didn't refuse, and drank it without a sip.
Not to mention, there is no taste in the mouth for a long time, and occasionally eating something sweet tastes good. Thinking that this kind of good taste can't be enjoyed alone, she put the soda bottle to Song Bao's mouth, "Big brother, you drink it too." ”
Fortunately, she is not a particularly particular person, anyway, she is small, and it is nothing to drink a bottle of soda with others.
Song Baojia didn't refuse, but just took a small sip. Joy in his eyes, he could only feed it a few more times, and after a while, a bottle of soda bottomed out.
And at this time, Song Bao's friends also sent the bicycle over.
It is not far from the town to the county seat, if it is placed in the later generations, it will only take about one or twenty minutes to drive, which will ride a bicycle, but it will take an hour, and this is because Song Baojia rides fast.
In broad daylight, Sister Song would naturally not be at home, so Song Baojia went directly to her unit to find her.
And it just so happened that Song Damei was working in the department store, she was in charge of the furniture counter, and her work was leisurely.
Because there were no guests, as soon as Song Bao's family arrived, Sister Song noticed it.
"Baojia!?" she was startled, quickly stood up, and said with a happy face: "When did you come back?"
"Yesterday. Song Baojia put the peanuts and fungus in front of Sister Song with a smile on his face. "These are the ones that the second uncle asked me to send to you. ”
Where are those things in Song Damei's eyes, she pulled her eldest nephew and asked, "How are you staying in the army?"
"It's all good. Song Baojia replied: "There is everything in the army, which is much more convenient than at home." ”
Sister Song said that she believed this, she actually wanted to ask about safety, but when the words came to her lips and swallowed back, since the Bao family didn't say it, there must be a reason why she couldn't say it.
"Auntie, are you knitting a sweater?" Huan Xi looked at the sweater that was put aside by Sister Song.
Of course, the interest is pretending, knitting sweaters, this kind of skill, she has already been at the level of a master in her last life. The reason why I opened my mouth was to "learn" this skill naturally.
Because she suddenly remembered that whether it was herself, her father or her second brother, they all had no sweaters.
"yes. Sister Song also reacted, "Do you want a sweater too?" ”
She pondered that after the sweater in her hand was knitted, there should be two or three taels of wool left, and then she went to buy half a catty, which was almost enough to knit one for Huanxi.
Huanxi shook his head and said, "No, I want to learn it myself." ”
After a pause, he said, "I still have to make sweaters for my father, eldest brother, second brother, and younger brother." ”
"Cheng!" Without waiting for Sister Song to speak, Song Baojia on the side said, "Big brother will buy you wool in a while." ”
Huanxi frowned, "Big brother, do you have any money?" As far as she knew, the eldest brother's allowance was sent back every month without any leftovers.
"Don't worry, big brother is rich. "Song Bao's family came out this time, and the head of the regiment privately funded him, after all, he had to help someone bring his son.
Song Damei interjected on the side: "Do you have industrial coupons? ”
"Yes, I came back to visit my relatives this time, and my comrades-in-arms made a lot of money. In fact, Song Baojia still has a lot of tickets in his hand, in the past, he only sent money back, and the tickets were basically divided among his comrades-in-arms who had family members with the army or went back to visit relatives.
- That's how it is in the army, whoever needs a ticket will be given, of course, this is not given in vain, everyone has an account in their hearts, like this time when he came back to visit relatives, he didn't need to open his mouth, his comrades-in-arms kept the tickets for him. When he gets married in the future, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of tickets.
Sister Song breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said, "Then you can buy wool on the first floor below, do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, no, auntie, you're busy. Song Baojia refused.
Seeing that he was leaving, Sister Song hurriedly asked, "When will you return to the army?"
"This time I can stay longer, at least half a month. Song Baojia replied.
Sister Song breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Nacheng, I'll take Jianshe and Yuzhen back to Songjiazhuang after the holidays." ”
Song Baojia nodded, and went downstairs with joy.
There are only a few colors of wool, red, white, turmeric, navy blue, dark green, brown and black, and there are few styles for you to choose.
Huanxi looked at it, and finally picked two catties of black, two catties of navy blue, two catties of brown, and one and a half catties of dark green and eight taels of red, hesitated, and Huanxi picked two catties of white.
She thought about how Xi Wanli was the son of her eldest brother's boss, and she still had to please when she should please. Moreover, for the sake of the other party being a beautiful boy, she is still happy to knit this sweater.
Fortunately, Song Bao's family brought enough money and industrial vouchers, otherwise so much wool is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
