39. It's a bit expensive
"Mother, don't have silk flowers, besides, I don't have one, I don't like to bring those." Hua Jin hurriedly said.
"Don't silk flowers, then what are you talking about cotton?" Qi was really stumped by his daughter.
"That...... I don't know what it looks like I don't remember very clearly, I vaguely remember where I saw it, it seems to be that it can be used to keep warm in the clothes, just now my mother said that the catkins in my milk's winter coat are almost gone, only to suddenly remember, I thought we had here? ”
"So that's the case" The girl was always confused and couldn't remember clearly because of her head injury, and it was normal for Qi to not think much about it.
But I'm very interested in the cotton that my daughter said.
The poor people's families could not afford to buy animal skins that could be used to protect them from the cold, and in the winter, they could only use some collected catkins and even straw in their clothes to protect them from the cold.
I've heard that rich people sometimes use duck down and cashmere to wrap in clothes or quilts to keep warm, but it is extremely difficult to collect these things, and I don't know how long it will take to collect them by relying on a little bit of winter clothing at home.
Another point is that the hair of duck down and cashmere is relatively fine and soft, and it is not easy to run out of the cloth that needs to be more delicate, and they usually wear hemp clothes at all, and the high price of thick materials is not something that people like them can wear, so even if they know that almost no one chooses these to keep warm.
If there is really this kind of cotton that can keep out the cold and is very warm, as the girl said, will the days in winter be much better, Qi couldn't help but be moved.
Hua Jin was just a test, but it would have confirmed that there was really no such thing as cotton to keep her warm.
In my few memories, the winter here is very cold, there is no cotton, and only the reeds and catkins can be warmed, and Hua Jin has begun to worry a little about how to spend the first winter here.
Looking at the heartbeat on her mother's face, Hua Jin thought about it: "Mother, although I don't remember it very clearly, but if I encounter it, I may be able to recognize it." ”
In this way, one day I will take out the cotton in the space, and maybe there will be a provenance.
"Really?" Qi's eyes lit up a little.
"It should be possible," Hua Jin nodded heavily.
"Then let's look for it now, maybe we can run into it?"
The old woman on the side also nodded, she was not deaf when the two of them said, if there was really something like cotton that could keep warm, it would be much better in winter, and I agreed very much with the daughter-in-law's proposal, as for the stall, didn't there be an old man's son.
Hua Jin looked at the mother who was in a hurry and couldn't cry or laugh, only then did she know that her mother also said that the wind is the rainy side! The most important thing is that the milk is also very supportive.
Anyway, it's nothing, maybe there really is a surprise?
He nodded his head.
So I followed my mother and grandmother all the way down the street, and almost didn't let go of every stall and shop, but unfortunately there was still no result.
Not even the flower shop seed shop was spared.
Hua Jin also felt that these stores were more likely, and even asked the shopkeeper to take out the more novel seeds in the store and look at them, but they still didn't find anything.
Hua Jin kept shaking her head all the way to the last shop.
Qi Shi and Mrs. Hua actually lost hope after seeing a few shops, and the well-informed shop shopkeepers had never heard of cotton, maybe they really didn't have it here.
The reason why I will keep shopping is because it is very good to see the interest of the girls, it was originally their proposal, and I can't sweep the children's interest anymore.
"Mother, it's okay, maybe the time is wrong, if you can't find it now, it doesn't mean you won't find it in the future, let's come over and have a look in the future." Ran out of the last shop, Hua Jin, think about it.
"Yes, what we Jin'er said is right, it's hard for us Jin'er to accompany my mother to find it for so long, and I'm tired."
Qi didn't really have much hope, after all, he had never heard of this thing, that is, he wanted to try it, and it seemed to be expected that he didn't have it.
There are not too many disappointments, but there are some regrets, it would be much better if I really found the cotton father and mother and the children in winter.
"No, it's fun to go shopping, but it's a bit expensive." Hua Jin looked at the sugar painting in her hand, as well as the new head rope that her mother bought for her at the stall, and there were a few small whirring Nai fruits in the basket.
When I first saw this Naiguo, Hua Jin almost blurted out the word apple, but fortunately, the control was not bad, and it stopped at the last moment, Apple is a modern name, how to call Hua Jin here, I really don't have an impression.
Fortunately, she didn't say it, otherwise her mother would have asked her again.
It seemed that her gaze was too eager, and her grandmother and mother didn't ask her to bargain with the stall owner for a while to buy a few.
It is said that the fruit at this time is really expensive, and the small one is even more expensive than the meat, let alone the big one.
Six Naiguo is less than two catties and costs dozens of Wen, those money to buy a lot of coarse grains, enough for the family to eat for many days, these are porridge who is willing to buy?
Hua Jin once again felt the love of her family, and unconsciously the center became closer to her family again.
"What does it cost, I don't eat it often, and it's all things that can be eaten in my stomach, Jin'er, don't feel distressed."
The old woman looked at her granddaughter's distressed expression and hurriedly said.
Just like she said, I don't buy it often, it's rare for children to enter the town once, and they buy it, and it's a big deal that they will work harder as adults in the future, and no matter how hard they are, they can't be bitter about children.
is really unconditional love for her, "Milk, mother, you are so good, Jin'er loves you so much." As soon as she was excited, Hua Jin couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of the old woman, and the soft words naturally came out.
If she had been tired of such words before, she would not have been able to say them, and of course no one would have asked her to say them.
"Oh, my good girl, your little mouth is so sweet, but don't be coquettish when there are many people on the set, let's go back quickly." The old woman patted her granddaughter's back lovingly, smiling from ear to ear.
How can such a sensible and lovable child not hurt?
The individual old women and women in the village don't think that she doesn't know that some are paying attention to her behind her back.
Say that a girl will get married sooner or later, isn't it a bad head to love someone else's family?
When they pay attention to it, they don't know that they themselves are women, and they look down on their status as women, and when they are money-losers, how can they stand up?
The old woman really doesn't look down on this, and she usually doesn't even bother to talk.
Their children are good-looking, smart, sweet and cute, and the important thing is that they are also very sensible and filial, why doesn't she spoil such a good child, and she is willing to spoil it.
Thinking about being a girl, that is, being at home for more than ten years, can still live more comfortably, the family doesn't know that it hurts, once it becomes someone else's family, it will be even more involuntarily, and when she thinks of this, she hurts the child even more.
Listening to her grandmother's doting words here, Huajin's little daughter was delicate, "Milk, my mouth is sweet because I ate sugar, you and your mother can also taste it, it will be just as sweet." As he spoke, he held up the candy painting in his hand.
The two adults were so amused that they didn't stop smiling on the corners of their mouths until they returned to their stalls.
