Chapter Eighty-Eight: Buying Clothes
It was not too early to see that it was time to go to work.
Shen Changting looked at Zhao Qingzao, who was rubbing her waist from time to time, knowing that her body had not recovered yet, and proposed: "You don't go today, I'll help you take a leave when I go, and you can rest at home." ”
"Then what's going on?" Zhao Qingzao packed up, pushed open the far door and walked out: "If you say it in advance, it will be said, now you can't say it temporarily, where can you get up early and get a cook for a while? Everyone is busy all day, and they can't even eat a meal, and this day is too sad." ”
Seeing what Shen Changting was going to say, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, I'm in good health, it's just a meal, and it's done as if I was playing." Besides, if you don't do things, it's too boring to stay at home all day. ”
Shen Changting couldn't say anything about her, seeing that she insisted on going, he had to let her. It's just that she was more careful than usual along the way, always paying attention to Zhao Qingzao's every move, and if she felt any discomfort, she planned to persuade her to go back.
Zhao Qingzao was stared at by him uncomfortably, and out of kindness, she couldn't refuse directly, so she had to endure the straight gaze behind her back.
It wasn't until they entered the yamen that the two had to score and separate, Zhao Qingzao breathed a sigh of relief, finally got rid of it, and waved his hand at Shen Changting, who was still nagging, Zhao Qingzao sped up and slipped into the kitchen.
Shen Changting looked at her actions, and knew that he was too annoying to dislike himself, in fact, he didn't want to repeat one thing like this several times, but who made him really worried, he couldn't wait for Zhao Qingzao to be in his sight all the time, and once he left the range he could see, he was always a little worried.
Shen Changting himself couldn't tell why he was suffering from gains and losses. After glancing twice at the direction in which Zhao Qingzao left, he would also go to work.
Zhao Qingzao's physical fitness is already good, after coming here, he works diligently, and he is also exercising, he is young, and he wakes up in the morning and feels sore. Chatting while washing vegetables, the morning passed easily.
It was almost noon, and when she was about to cook, she suddenly saw Shen Changting come out, which startled her: "Why are you here?
Shen Changting worked hard to put his mind on the official paper all morning, and finally finished it, and began to worry again, seeing that there was not much time, he couldn't help but come over and want to help: "I'll help." If you want me to do something, I can wash the vegetables, or do anything else, you can just tell me. ”
After speaking, he picked up a handful of green vegetables to wash, as if he was telling Zhao Qingzao with actions that he couldn't drive away, and he must stay to help today. Zhao Qingzao couldn't cry or laugh, how could this person be like this, I really didn't see it, it turned out that Shen Changting was such a stubborn character, and he had nothing to do, he still had to run over.
But it's not annoying at all, at least it shows that he is a good man who loves his daughter-in-law. Zhao Qingzao didn't move, if he had to drive him away, he would be stiff, so it was better to let him forget it, just let him see that the work here was not heavy, so that he would not be at ease all day long.
Fortunately, Shen Changting usually helps wash vegetables and dishes at home, and does some simple housework, which is not difficult for him. After a circle, I really felt that it was relatively easy here, and Zhao Qingzao didn't seem to be fine, so he was relieved.
After being busy for a while, today's meal also received unanimous praise. Zhao Qingzao watched everyone eat happily and felt a sense of accomplishment. Although it is all small things, she has a lot of fun every day, and compared to her current life, she feels more relaxed.
Or it's not a bad thing to stay here. Zhao Qingzao thought so, and was in a very happy mood.
The cook's working hours are relatively short, and she is busy for that period of time, so she has nothing to do in the afternoon, so she said hello and went back.
Shen Changting came out to see him off, and repeatedly told him not to be busy when he got home, and to rest well, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly came down and left in a hurry. Once this person starts nagging, it's really unbearable. Although he knew that he had good intentions, but if it went on like this, Zhao Qingzao was afraid that he would jump up and beat him.
After returning home and resting for a while, and feeling bored lying still, Zhao Qingzao got up to check the pickling of preserved eggs, and went to his own small vegetable garden to inspect again, and the sun was just a little off. After thinking about it, I simply went to the village for a walk and gossiped with those village women.
It is also very important to do a good job in neighborly relations, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, not to mention the relatives of Zhao Qingzao's family, they are like this, they are not as good as neighbors.
After walking around like this, the time was about the same, Zhao Qingzao said goodbye and walked home, feeling that chatting with these village women was more tiring than her going to work all day. Zhang's family, the Li family, is short, and trivial things can be said with relish, how boring their usual life is.
But also, in this world without TV and the Internet, there is almost no entertainment, and women usually do housework, do some needlework when they are free, or else they will only chat. Zhao Qingzao thought about it, if she could expand the scale of production in the future, the labor force would not have to worry.
Sure enough, there is no perfection in this world, and there are two sides to everything. While complaining, Zhao Qingzao, who went home to cook dinner while humming a song, was also quite brisk.
And Shen Changting, who was pretending to be in his heart here, only felt that this day passed very slowly, he looked up at the sun from time to time, but felt that today's sun seemed to be fixed there, motionless. I finally got off work, packed up my things and went out.
As soon as he walked out, he ran into Chu Xingshan, who happened to be off work, Chu Xingshan said hello and said, "Brother Shen, are you also off work?" ”
Shen Changting replied and said, "I have some things to do today, and I have to go to the street, but I can't go along." ”
Chu Xingshan was not reluctant, and said: "Then let's go out together, this section of the road is the same." ”
Shen Changting didn't shirk either, and besides, the road didn't jump, and the direction was the same, so he couldn't shirk it. Neither of them is enthusiastic, and occasionally responds with two sentences, but fortunately, both of them have such temperaments, but they don't feel embarrassed.
Halfway through, Shen Changting saluted Chu Xingshan, and the two said goodbye and dispersed.
Shen Changting walked to the fabric shop on the street, and when he took the new clothes that Zhao Qingzao had made for him in the morning, he decided to buy a new one for Zhao Qingzao. She married herself, everything was simple, and until now, there are few clothes, they are all half-new and not old, and the materials are not good.
Even so, she was able to think of him first and make him new clothes. Shen Changting usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, he thinks that food, clothing, housing and transportation are all as long as they can get by, and they don't have to think too much. But now, he just wants to buy Zhao Qingzao the most beautiful and comfortable new clothes.
When I arrived at the store, the shopkeeper greeted me warmly. After changing his usual times, he only felt a little annoyed, but at this time, he listened carefully to the introduction of the shopkeeper and asked a few questions from time to time.
The shopkeeper asked, "This guest, do you want to buy fabrics, or do you want to buy ready-to-wear directly?" We have them all in the store, they are all good, the fabrics are all newly collected, the styles and colors can be selected, and the styles of ready-to-wear are also the latest. No adulteration, we are all old signs, you can ask casually, you know the good in our store. ”
Shen Changting nodded, he only found out about this store after asking others. He looked around the store, and sure enough, there were a lot of things, but there were too many things, but he was dazzled.
The shopkeeper is also a long-term Shengyi person, and the requirements of the guests are naturally clear at a glance, so he hurriedly came forward to recommend, the things in this store are really good, otherwise there would not be such a big reputation. It's just that he recommended several items, Shen Changting always felt that he was not satisfied, and the shopkeeper was not annoyed, so he happily let him take a look for himself.
"This guest, did you buy it for the lady at home?" Seeing that Shen Changting's eyes had been sweeping over the brightly colored fabric, the shopkeeper also guessed a little: "The guest is really sincere to Mrs. Zun, and he loves the couple." ”
Shen Changting was a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it, and his expression was still faint.
The shopkeeper asked, "I wonder if the guest plans to buy fabrics and make them himself, or buy ready-to-wear clothes?"
Shen Changting didn't know how to make clothes, and he didn't have a problem buying fabrics to go back, and he hoped that Zhao Qingzao could wear the new clothes he gave him earlier, and he didn't want to wait so long, so from the beginning, he had already decided: "Ready-to-wear." Is there any ready-to-wear clothes suitable for young daughters-in-law, please recommend them to me. ”
"Good, good. The shopkeeper took out a set, a bean-green jacket, with an azure lower skirt, the color looks very refreshing and comfortable, just like Zhao Qingzao's feeling, Shen Changting liked it at first sight. The material is also good, soft and comfortable to the touch, I feel very satisfied, and immediately said: "The shopkeeper's vision is really good, just this one." ”
The refreshing guest shopkeeper naturally liked it, and wiped off his odds at the moment, wrapped it neatly, and handed it to him: "The guest walks slowly, and he will come back in the future." We have some new products in our store after a while, and they are all good materials. ”
Shen Changting nodded and went out with the package.
Carrying a small package, thinking of Zhao Qingzao's surprised expression when he saw the new clothes, Shen Changting's heart was full of warmth. Seeing the smoke curling in his small courtyard from a distance made his heart warm.
Zhao Qingzao made dinner and was sitting in the courtyard, waiting for Shen Changting to come back, seeing the package in his hand, it was a little strange, when he went to work in the morning, there was no such thing.
Before he could ask, Shen Changting handed her the package, Zhao Qingzao glanced at him, put it on the table, and opened it: "What is this?" Ah, a new set of clothes. She picked up her jacket and looked at it, and although she had not studied the fabric, it was clearly much better than what she was wearing.
"This is for me, did you go shopping for clothes just now?" Zhao Qingzao asked, holding up the clothes.
Shen Changting nodded: "Do you like it?"
Zhao Qingzao looked at the new clothes happily, and complained: "I still have clothes to wear, why spend this extra money." But the clothes are beautiful, I like it very much, thank you. "What woman doesn't like new clothes, and this outfit is really good, and she is very satisfied.
Seeing that she was really happy, Shen Changting also put his mind at ease and followed suit: "If you like it, you have to spend the money you should spend, let's go and see it in two days, buy a few more pieces, and you can usually change them." "He is willing to give everything he has, but he has too little now, and there is nothing good for her.
