Chapter 58: Clothing
I can finally take a breath, make money again, and have a good tooth sacrifice.
Xu Jiaojiao bought four or five catties of pork, a few catties of pork ribs, a pair of pig water, refined flour, vermicelli, tofu, bean skin, bean sprouts, oil, salt, and all kinds of condiments that are usually reluctant to buy.
Erlang's back basket is about to be unable to carry it.
Passing by the pastry shop, Xu Jiaojiao also bought some melt-in-the-mouth pastries for Xu Zhang's family, such as peanut candy, snowflake crisp, egg cakes, etc., these are things that only rich and noble families can afford, or go to important relatives to get gifts.
These are all rare and luxurious things in the town, few people buy them, they are not very fresh, Xu Jiaojiao didn't buy much, so she weighed a little less and tried it.
Xu Jiaojiao bought and bought lavishly, Xu Zhang's looked at the pain from the side, if it weren't for the old girl who had earned so much silver in half a month, she wouldn't have let her be so extravagant.
After buying food, Xu Jiaojiao took Xu Zhang's to the cloth shop to buy cloth.
"Mother, last time I bought a piece of cloth for you, I don't know if it suits your heart, this time I'm free, take you to pick it personally, what kind of color do you like, the fabric, you pick it yourself, and the old girl buys it for you."
Xu Zhangshi shook his head again and again, "Don't, I like the horse you bought last time, and when I'm free, I'll start making clothes, don't buy mine, Jiaojiao, you can buy a few clothes yourself, my mother sees that you have lost a lot of weight these days, and the previous clothes are estimated to be older, so you have to make a few new clothes." ”
Xu Jiaojiao really wants to make a few new clothes, this time to boil loquat ointment, not to mention tired or not, from morning to night in the kitchen is busy, the kitchen is a high temperature place, and the roasting has also roasted a lot of fat on her body.
I was 180 before, but now I have lost at least 20 pounds, and a lot of clothes don't fit.
"Mother, if you don't choose, then I'll help you choose."
Xu Jiaojiao picked a few light-colored fabrics, there are no particularly high-end materials in the town, they are all ordinary and strong fabrics, Xu Jiaojiao picked a light green, a light yellow with flowers, and a light blue with embroidery is the most expensive.
Then, he bought three pieces of cloth for Xu Zhang's family, one dark red, one turmeric, and one dark green, among which the dark red one was still satin material.
This is the most expensive material in the cloth shop.
Xu Zhang's sighed, "My Jiaojiao, good, buy such good materials for my mother, my mother is old, I can't wear such good materials, if I wear it out, I don't know how many people are poking the backbone in secret, don't want it." ”
Xu Jiaojiao asked the guy to pack, "If you don't want it, you have to ask for it, this is a piece of my daughter's heart, does my mother want to break my heart?" From childhood to adulthood, my daughter finally made a lot of money, and if she doesn't honor her mother, who should she honor? Mother, you can bear it, you can bear it, if anyone is envious, jealous and hateful, you let their children buy it for her! ”
Xu Zhangshi smiled from ear to ear, "Hey, Jiaojiao, my mother is also starting to enjoy the blessings of her daughter now, and my mother doesn't hurt you in vain." My mother has never worn such a good material, this is too luxurious, I don't want this satin one, I want those two, plus the one you bought before, you can make three sets of clothes, enough. ”
The fabric is beautiful, and Xu Jiaojiao's words make her heart feel even more beautiful.
Her old daughter is a good boy who knows how to repay her kindness, unlike the sons of those white-eyed wolves, who marry their daughters-in-law and forget their mothers.
Xu Jiaojiao said, "It's not enough, everyone does it all year round, and there are not many." I'll pick out two more clothes for my father. ”
This one is a small one, but a few meters long, which is enough to make a large set of clothes, and it is not a particularly large horse.
In this era, the clothes are all long-sleeved and trousers, and sometimes they are divided into two layers, which is very expensive, not like a modern cool dress.
Xu Zhang's eyes widened, "What to pick for him?" He's an old man who is about to go halfway into the ground, what good clothes are he wearing? ”
That being said, she herself received a few pieces of cloth from her old daughter, and it seems unreasonable not to buy two clothes for Xu Youde.
Xu Zhang's family was the master, and chose two of the most ordinary materials for Xu Youde, and the villagers, the most ordinary materials to make new clothes, is also an enviable thing.
Then, Xu Jiaojiao bought two more pink and red ones, and these two horses were given to the second and third horses.
"Erya, these two horses, you and Sanya will choose one to make a skirt."
Erya is flattered, they rarely make new clothes, and sometimes they can't make a new one for the New Year, basically adults can't wear it, and then change it, just give them what they can wear.
The rest of the old Xu family may wear new clothes all year round, their second room has always been tight, even if they make new clothes for the New Year, only the brothers' share, there are very few girls, they basically pick up Yuan's old clothes, or Xu Jiaojiao's old clothes.
Erya hurriedly refused, "Auntie, you don't need to buy us new ones, you just buy new ones, you make new clothes, give us old clothes to wear, we do the work, wear new clothes wasted." ”
Xu Zhangshi nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, Jiaojiao, these little girls are growing their bodies, and it's a waste to make new clothes, change your clothes and change them, they can wear them, and now it's not time to say goodbye, what new skirts do you have to make?" It's good to have your clothes to pick up the old, other people's girls don't even have to pick up the old, the sisters at home have a patch skirt, who goes out and who wears it, and people are different? ”
Erya said, "Grandma is right, it's good if we have clothes to wear, we don't want new clothes, auntie, you buy it yourself." ”
Xu Jiaojiao didn't allow her to refuse, and forced two pieces of cloth to her.
"Take it, take it, you are all twelve years old, you won't grow much if you want to grow taller, make your clothes bigger, you can wear them when you are tall, girls just have to dress themselves, they are beautiful, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, go out not shabby, not bullied."
Erya was moved, but she still didn't dare to take it.
Girls have a heart for beauty, and they have the feeling of wearing new clothes, which is a feeling of happiness like a dream.
My aunt sincerely wanted to send it, and she couldn't help but look at Xu Zhang's.
Xu Zhangshi didn't let go, she didn't dare to take it.
"Look at your unproductive appearance, forget it, your aunt is in a good mood and bought it for you, you can continue, you must remember your aunt's goodness in your heart, and you must be grateful, do you know? Ever since you were a child, your mother has never bought you new clothes, right? She is estimated to have sent any material to your grandmother's house, and the girls on her back ......" Xu Zhang's mouth was relieved, and he scolded Yuan as he spoke.
