Chapter 173
I don't know if the family is too busy to spare the manpower to come to Fucheng to pick up people, or the message can't be brought, in short, I haven't seen anyone sent by the family to pick it up after two days, and now the Chen family can't stay even more, and after dinner this day, he muttered that he wanted to go back.
As soon as Chen's plan came out, it was unanimously opposed by Lin Wan and Ye Qing.
Ye Qingdao said: "Grandma, don't worry, live here with peace of mind, if you can't be idle, let your sister or Dongxue accompany you around the neighborhood, and there will be two days before the academy is closed, I just want to go back to see, and then we will go back together." ”
"That's right, grandma, you just wait two more days, Wanwan also misses grandpa and them! Besides, let Grandma go back alone, we don't worry. Lin Wan took Chen's arm and persuaded.
Looking at the thick worry on his grandchildren's faces, Chen sighed and didn't mention that he would go back, and on the second day, while Lin Wan was learning etiquette with Mama Bai, he asked Aunt Qian to accompany her out of the door, and came back with Aunt Qian alone to carry a big burden.
Lin Wan came to the main hall after the etiquette class and planned to accompany Chen to go out for a walk, but when she saw Chen buried in a pile of rags, she couldn't help but be surprised and suspicious: "Grandma, where did you get so many rags?" ”
Chen raised his head and told Lin Wan happily: "I bought it for a hundred yuan!" ”
Spending 100 Wen to buy a bunch of rags, how could the Chen family be willing to spend this kind of money?
Although the Ye family's life is becoming more and more prosperous, the Chen family is still thrifty.
If it weren't for the sake of a few grandchildren, the Chen family would not have agreed to Father Ye buying a house in Fucheng anyway, let alone spending a lot of money to buy a house in this area.
But today, the Chen family actually spent a hundred yuan on a pile of rags, and Lin Wan couldn't believe it no matter how she thought about it.
The rag head is generally used to make shoes, and how many pairs of shoes do you have to make into this pile of rags?
Chen Shi had something that surprised Lin Wan even more, only to see her point in the direction of the corner of the wall and say, "Look, there is still a burden there." ”
Lin Wan looked in the direction that Chen was pointing, and sure enough, there was a large burden wrapped in a coarse cloth on the bamboo recliner on the corner of the wall.
Glancing at the big burden and then at the rags on the table in front of her, Lin Wan still felt a little incredible.
When the Wu family was in Fucheng, in order to make a change of bachelor's uniform for Ye Qing, he once went to a cloth shop to buy cloth, and he still had some understanding of the price of cloth.
One tael of coarse cloth in the cloth village can buy two pieces of cloth, and one piece of cloth has ten zhang, that is to say, one hundred wen can buy two zhang of new coarse cloth.
Wu bought muslin cloth for Ye Qing, and the price was twice that of coarse cloth, which means that one hundred wen could buy a whole piece of muslin cloth.
Is it really cost-effective for Chen to spend 100 yuan to buy so many rags that are cut from so many cloth houses and are of little use?
Although she wondered if Chen had been deceived, looking at Chen's happy appearance, Lin Wan didn't express the doubts in her heart.
When Lin Wan was in a daze, Chen had already picked out a piece of peach-colored cloth from the pile of rags and compared it to Lin Wan: "Wanwan, look, this cloth is enough to make you a belly pocket, the color is very good for you, or muslin!" ”
Lin Wan took the cloth head in Chen's hand, and it was indeed a piece of muslin cloth, although it was only the size of a cloth head, it was enough to make her a belly pocket.
Although Lin Wan is far from the age of development, since the day Lin Wan arrived at the Ye family, there has been no shortage of belly pockets on her body, just because the conditions of the Ye family are limited, all the coarse cloth used inside and outside in the beginning of the year is better, and when the conditions of the Ye family are better, it slowly becomes cotton cloth, but it is not as delicate as the muslin cloth in her hand.
Lin Wan took the cloth and didn't say anything, and listened to Chen's slightly surprised voice: "This piece of light green, this piece of light purple and this piece of light purple can be combined with this piece of white to make two belly pockets." This cloth is fine and does not hurt the skin, and it is most suitable for you to make a belly pocket. Hey, these two black pieces should be able to make a pair of trousers for Brother Shen......"
Chen was surprised and delighted as if he had dug up a treasure, and he also succeeded in attracting Lin Wan to the past, and turned over the rag head with Chen.
This look at it really made Lin Wan dispel Chen's idea of being deceived.
After the second burden was opened and picked up, Lin Wan also had to praise Chen.
After a lot of patchwork, in addition to the original plan to make belly pocket fabric for Lin Wan, Chen also put together a set of underwear for several grandchildren from these two bags of rags.
In addition to these, a few larger pieces of cloth were picked out and set aside.
Lin Wan looked at the leftover rag heads picked by Chen, and knew that these rag heads were also useful, the larger ones could be used to make the uppers, and the small rags were pasted together with batter to hold the soles.
This patchwork made Lin Wanyou interested, and she always felt that a little adjustment could make the best use of these cloth heads bought for a hundred yuan, so she pointed to the large pieces of cloth that were picked out and said: "Grandma, if you adjust these adjustments, you should be able to put together a set of underwear for Grandpa and Grandma." ”
Chen Shi glanced at the two remaining piles of cloth that he picked out, shook his head and laughed: "I can't pick out any more large pieces, these pieces of cloth together are not enough to make a close-fitting underwear for your grandfather, put it first, understand that I will go to other cloth villages to see if there are any rag heads." ”
Lin Wan really wanted to fall for Chen's frugality.
However, what Lin Wan said just now is really not a big deal, put it together well, the cloth here can completely put together a pair of underwear for Chen and Daddy Ye, and if you fight well, you may be able to put together a pair of clothes for Ye Damin and Wu.
Of course, this is a bit difficult, but it is not completely impossible, because Lin Wan's own, Ye Qing's can be exempted.
Lin Wan and Ye Qing are not short of thin cotton underwear, when Wu bought cloth for Ye Qing to make a bachelor's uniform, he bought two pieces of fine cotton cloth, and made two new underwear for Ye Qing and Lin Wan respectively, of course, Lin Wan's belly pocket, plus it was made in Houwu Village, so Lin Wan and Ye Qing really have no shortage of clothes.
On the other hand, the rest of the Ye family still wears that kind of coarse cotton cloth from the inside to the outside.
Lin Wan knew that Chen's thrift was a person who loved the younger generations, even if she just bought a rag head and came back, the first thing that came to mind was their juniors, of course Lin Wan had to repay the favor.
So Lin Wan picked out some relatively large pieces of black, white and dark blue cloth from the remaining pile of rags, and said while fighting: "Grandma, you see, these two pieces of azure plus these black pieces are enough to make a pair of underwear for Grandpa, and these two pieces of dark purple and these pieces of dark blue should be able to make a body for Grandma, and this ......"
When Lin Wan re-spliced the cloth head that Chen had put together according to her own ideas, because Lin Wan's own was missing, she really asked her to put together a set of underwear for the whole family.
Chen watched Lin Wan spell out the family's underwear like a trick, but she ignored herself, and her heart was really mixed.
The Chen family has been in Fucheng for six or seven days, and since she found that Lin Wan has made new belly pockets and underwear with muslin cloth, it is impossible to say that she has no opinion in her heart, and she plans to talk about the Wu family after returning to Houwu Village.
But at this moment, looking at the fabric that Lin Wan had spliced, and then meeting Lin Wan's sparkling eyes, Chen felt a little ashamed, maybe as the old man said, his thinking was too narrow.
