Chapter 28: The Heart
The next day, Lin Ning got up early to write according to the usual rules, and then took care of Gu Shaoqiu, and after the feeding and massage were all done, she went downstairs and told her mother-in-law: "Mom, Shaoqiu is asking you for the time being, you come up to see Shaoqiu every once in a while, I will come back as soon as possible!" ”
The mother-in-law is reasonable, but Lin Ning will not waste herself, so Lin Ning has already made plans and tried her best to rush back at lunchtime. In this way, she only has three or four hours to go out, she has to go to the post office to send manuscripts to receive remuneration, she has to go to the department store to buy some things, and finally she has to go to the hospital to see Abba and Grandma, Ah Xiu and she are not by their side, but go over to see, she is really a little relieved. There's a lot going on, and she's really on a tight schedule, so she must hurry.
"It's okay, it's okay, A-Ning, it's rare for you to go out, sit more on your in-laws' side, Shaoqiu has me here!" Yuan Xiuqin smiled and handed over the things she had packed up to Lin Ning: "I think these things can be used by my in-laws, you help me and your father bring them over, it can be regarded as our mind!" ”
Yuan Xiuqin never said that this was a gift they specially prepared for their daughter-in-law to their in-laws, but only said that it was their intention, and at the same time avoided the embarrassment of their daughter-in-law.
"I took my parents with me, thank you mom and dad for bothering!" Mother-in-law's thoughts, Lin Ning did not refuse, sincerely thanked her mother-in-law, and Lin Ning took it. She saw that there were two bottles of bone-strengthening medicinal wine, and there was a place to arrange for Yulu on her parents' side. Both times, thanks to the good things that her mother-in-law packed for her, she saved a lot of thought.
Only enjoying without wanting to reciprocate has never been the criterion for Lin Ning to be a man, and there has been no condition before, and she has no way to talk about returns. Today, the manuscript fee was paid, and Lin Ning made arrangements in his heart. Three hundred yuan said that more could not do anything big, and it would not be of great use, and that she could buy something for her parents' in-laws as a heart, and she planned to go to the department store on her trip today.
Like last time, Yuan Xiuqin sent Lin Ning out of the compound directly, just in time for a bus that could be transferred to Kyoto Fifth Hospital, and there were no taxis passing by for a while, so Lin Ning directly said goodbye to her mother-in-law and got on the bus.
Lin Ning went to the post office first, first received the 300 yuan remuneration with the remittance slip, and then sent out the manuscript of about 100,000 words that he had saved up recently. In this way, the main things were handled properly and the money was in hand, so Lin Ning transferred directly to the department store at the bus station near the post office.
She asked the post office staff, this car passed by the department store, Lin Ning got off here, and planned to hurry up and do the trip first.
At that time, the first is to directly hand over the items bought for Abba and Auntie to them, and the second is to catch a faster transfer route back to the military compound.
What to add to the four old men, Lin Ning has also thought clearly. The conditions of the Gu family are good, canned milk powder, health care products·· In terms of food, it is not rare, Abba and Grandma have made two trips in a row, and my mother-in-law has prepared a lot of dim sum milk powder malt milk essence... Nutritious food, there is no shortage for the time being, and Lin Ning has limited money on hand, so she plans to buy ready-to-wear directly if there are suitable ready-to-wear clothes on the two fathers' side, and the two mothers and Gu Shengxia's sister, she is going to find some good fabrics to make clothes for them.
In her previous life, she wrote a work in which the protagonist was a designer. In particular, I learned to cut homemade clothes, and I usually helped my grandma in this life, and I also learned basic sewing skills, so it is not difficult to make some simple styles of women's clothing. It's just that in terms of men's clothing, she is not sure, so she will not waste fabric for the time being!
Gu Shengxia didn't help their family over there, and at this time, Lin Ning naturally wouldn't forget anyone over the other. Entering the department store, Lin Ning went straight to the goal, the two fathers treated them equally, Lin Ning found a generous, high-quality white shirt to buy a single one, men's clothes look simple, but not necessarily cheaper than women's clothes, although now it is not as outrageous as the price of clothes in later generations, but two men's shirts still cost her seventy yuan.
Even Gu Shengxia thought of it, how could Lin Ning ignore her husband Gu Shaoqiu, who is now in a legal marriage. The budget given to him is different from that of the two fathers, Gu Shaoqiu's current situation, comfortable and soft and breathable fabric cut home clothes are more suitable, and there are no requirements for technology, Lin Ning picked out a good gray and white plaid muslin and pulled eight or nine feet. Gu Shaoqiu is tall, and her clothes now have to be looser, so she relaxed her budget.
The easy-to-solve men's clothes completed the task, and Lin Ning switched to women's fabrics. The Gu family is in good condition, and the general fabric can't be used, and Lin Ning also wants to buy a good dress for her grandmother, so what she directly looks at is the good material of satin and silk.
"Although the sister looks, they are all good materials for Hangzhou work, that is, at the feet of our Kyoto Son of Heaven, there are so many colors and patterns in such a bright hall, you look at the mandarin ducks playing in the water, this peony wears flowers, and they are all good materials for the top!" The eldest sister of the fabric counter has the pride and pride of Beijingers, watching Lin Ning pull the muslin cloth happily, and enthusiastically introduced it to Lin Ning. Now that people's conditions are better, materials are abundant, and customers have become nobles again, the days when supply was limited in the previous years, the days when the salesman was the boss are gone forever.
Lin Ning smiled, carefully touched the feel of the fabric, and picked the color attentively. The sales lady is right, these are indeed good materials. At this time, the items are still real and good-class, if it weren't for the limited conditions at hand, Lin Ning would still want to buy more.
Considering the suitable colors of the two mothers and Gu Shengxia, and calculating the style of clothes to be made, Lin Ning finally made up his mind.
Her grandmother has good craftsmanship, can embroider, and likes quiet colors, so Lin Ning pulled five feet of satin fabric with autumn fragrance and dark flowers for her grandmother, so that her grandmother could cut a blouse by herself, and the surplus fabric could be used to make a shoulder. On her mother-in-law's side, Lin Ning chose a piece of silk with real purple peony flowers, and prepared to make a cheongsam with medium sleeves and calf slits for her mother-in-law, which she can wear now.
