On this day, the men followed Secretary Qi to pay the public grain, and the women and children rested at home. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, these women secretly confessed that it was not easy to go out when they arrived in the county seat and came back to buy some things.
He Tiantian thought that she had saved enough tickets in her hand, she wanted to go to the county seat, buy a piece of purple silk and some embroidery thread for Grandma Qi San, and make a good-looking cheongsam for Grandma Qi San.
This is what He Tiantian promised Grandma Qi San before, but she never had enough tickets in her hand.
He Jingyu wants to go to the county seat to make a report and accompany his daughter to the county seat.
The bicycle he rode this time was not borrowed from Secretary Qi, but He Jingyu's own.
Jiang Lifang, Huo Zhekun and his wife thought thoughtfully, and after knowing that He Jingyu did not have a bicycle here, they immediately dismantled He Jingyu and Wang Shuping's bicycles in Nanshi, classified them, packed them, and sent them over.
In this case, you can have two bicycles for only a dozen dollars of postage.
Save money and tickets.
So now not only He Jingyu has a bicycle, He Tiantian is now riding Wang Shuping's previous women's bicycle.
The bicycle was faster than the ox cart, they came to the county seat earlier, He Jingyu sent He Tiantian to Niu Lili, and went to the commune.
Niu Lili happened to be resting today and followed He Tiantian to buy things.
Because He Tiantian was coming to the county seat, Wang Lei and other educated youths asked He Tiantian to carry things. A whole two pieces of paper, He Tiantian bought them one by one.
Because He Tiantian bought a lot, the salesman's attitude was a little better than usual.
"Tiantian, what are you buying silk for?" Niu Lili reminded in a whisper, "Although the silk is beautiful, you can't wear it now, you can't live a few days of stability, and you can't tell the difference between the southeast and the north." ”
He Tiantian knew that Niu Lili cared about her, and explained carefully: "I bought it for grandma, grandma is a delicate old lady, and now that she is older, she misses the old days more and more." I thought about making her a favorite dress while she was alive and well. ”
Niu Lili was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that He Tiantian knew her grandmother, who was over sixty years old, and she didn't know how many years she could live. While you are alive, it is also common sense to buy decent clothes.
"I see, that's okay, but you can only wear the finished clothes at home, not outside." Niu Lili reminded, "Let's go, I'll take you." ”
Niu Lili took her to a familiar salesman to buy a piece of fine dark purple satin, soft and smooth.
Before leaving, I saw a piece of royal blue cloth, which was full of brilliance, and it was also very suitable for Grandma Qi San.
So I gritted my teeth and bought it.
Good things come in pairs, make two things for Grandma Qi San!
He Tiantian went to buy embroidery thread again, various types of needles, and carefully packed them in small wooden boxes.
He Jingyu made a report, had lunch, and took He Tiantian home.
It's good to have a bicycle, at least you can go back and forth for a day, which is more convenient and faster than an ox cart.
When I got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it was dark.
He Tiantian parked the bicycle, took out a small package from the back frame, and said, "Grandma, grandma, what do you see I bought for you?" ”
Grandma Qi San walked out of the house on tiptoe, and asked with a smile: "Then I want to see, what did my good granddaughter buy for me?" ”
He Tiantian took it to the table, and lit an oil lamp on the side.
Wang Shuping took the needle and picked the wick, the soybean-sized oil light became bigger, and the room was brighter.
He Tiantian had already opened the package and spread out the two pieces of silk in the package.
"Oops, the color is so good." Wang Shuping exclaimed, "I haven't seen such a beautiful silk for many years!" ”
Grandma Qi San stretched out her hand and stroked it gently, worried that her rough hand would make the fabric hairy.
"yes, it's true that I haven't seen such a good fabric in years." Grandma Qi San said with emotion, "Just buy one, why did you buy two?" ”
The sweet girl always remembered her words, which made Grandma Qi San very moved!
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Grandma likes it, then let's make two!" ”
"I want this purple and blue one for your mother." Grandma Qi San is not good to accept them all, although she likes them very much, but she knows that it is suitable to stop, not greedy, and good things to share with everyone.
Wang Shuping smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, this fabric is for me, and I can't wear it." If you like it, I'll make it for you, and when I have a chance in the future, I'll let the sweet girl buy it for me. ”
"yes, grandma, it's for you." He Tiantian persuaded, "You don't lack anything, and your parents don't know what to give you." Now I just have a ticket in my hand, and we are not short of money, so I bought it. Thanks to Sister Lili's help, we were able to buy the best silk, which was much better than if I bought it myself. ”
He Tiantian didn't know much about silk, and the pieces she had seen before were not as good as these two.
"This ・・・・・・" Grandma Qi San hesitated, she really liked this too much.
For most of her life, she was alone.
Since her son disappeared and her husband died, Second Brother Qi has treated her well.
Now He Tiantian's family, treat her like this, how can she not be moved!
Thinking that there are a lot of treasures in the secret room behind, and if I can't find my son in the future, I will leave it all to He Tiantian's family, so I should compensate them.
"Mother-in-law, you can take it." He Jingyu said with a smile, "It's normal for a son to be filial to his mother, if you don't accept it, it won't be our own." ”
Seeing Grandma Qi San, He Jingyu thought of his mother.
Especially some time ago, seeing those old photos of Qi San's grandmother, He Jingyu reminded him of his mother wearing a satin cheongsam and sitting elegantly in front of the window.
"Huh!" Grandma Qi San smiled and was very pleased, "Okay, since it is the filial piety of the juniors, I am welcome." Tomorrow I will start making clothes, on the purple top, I will embroider white peony flowers; Royal blue, I want to embroider elegant magnolia flowers. ”
Grandma Qi San wants to make these two pieces of fabric into the best looking clothes, and pay as much attention to them as shrouds.
With Grandma Qi San's arrogant and petite nature, even if she goes underground, she has to dress beautifully and decently.
When you are alive, you can't wear it according to your heart, but when you die, you can do whatever you want.
The next day, Grandma Qi San asked Wang Shuping to measure her size.
He Tiantian drank tea while watching Grandma Qi San write down her size in the notebook.
He Tiantian found that although Grandma Qi San was old and still had small feet, her back was straight, her gray bun had always been very neat, and she was an old lady with a temperament.
After recording the size, Grandma Qi San was humming a little song while tailoring, and she was in a very happy mood.
Qi San's grandmother's optimism and good mood infected Wang Shuping and He Tiantian.
Wang Shuping has said in private more than once that it is commendable for a woman to have such an optimistic attitude and mental state! (To be continued.) )
