Besides, money is a thing, it's good to have enough, and it's not her character to write articles desperately in order to make more money.

However, during this time, she bought meat and took rice back to the Lin family, and the Lin family asked her to help buy it and gave the money. The Zhou family asked her to buy meat a few times, and she also received the money.

She has all this money that has no cost.

The meat exchanged for Xu Xiaoying at the post office was to maintain friendly friendship.

Today, I took chicken, duck and beef to Zhang Dana to show his strength and let Zhang Da pay attention to the matter of cotton.

Of course, the small coffers are a little richer.

On the way home, Zhou Yunmeng took another five catties of polished rice, and when he returned to Lin's house, he said that he had saved it from the grain and oil store.

Mother Lin happily took it and immediately calculated the money for her.

Zhou Yunmeng accepted the money and went back to the room to rest.

Heading into December, it's getting a little colder.

It rained again, and when the wind blew in the morning and evening, the cold swelled, and the Lin family turned out their long-sleeved jackets to wear.

It's about to be a cat winter, so you need to have some firewood at home.

Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin's sister-in-law led the child up the mountain to collect firewood, and Lin's second sister-in-law stayed at home to cook.

Zhou Yunmeng put on a long-sleeved jacket and took an ox cart into the county seat again, and went to the post office first.

Xu Xiaoying smiled as soon as she saw her, and signaled with her eyes that the matter was done.

Zhou Yunmeng smiled knowingly.

The two followed the usual process, Xu Xiaoying found the received reply letter on the table behind her and handed it to her, and Zhou Yunmeng took it.

Seeing that there would be no one, Xu Xiaoying lowered her voice and said, "Carry the basket to me." ”

Zhou Yunmeng took the bamboo basket off his back, handed it to her, and also whispered: "There is a pound of pork in it, you don't have to give me money, you must have worked a lot to find your relatives to help." ”

The other party can remember his own merits, and Xu Xiaoying is naturally happy. She went to her cousin's house to get the fabric, and indeed brought pork to walk around, so she didn't shirk much, and nodded with a smile.

She took out the pound of pork in the bamboo basket and put it in her cabinet, and put in the fabric she had just brought over that was wrapped in a package in the morning, and handed it back to Zhou Yunmeng.

"The quality of this batch of defective cloth is okay, I looked at it, but the color is a little light, and then the corners are a little dark."

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to make a padded jacket for my father and mother, and it just so happened that my cousin's house had earthy gray and navy blue fabrics, so I asked for twelve feet each."

Fortunately, Yunmeng wants to make a padded jacket for his father, these earthy gray and navy blue fabrics are easier to take, if it is peach, bright and yellow, those bright colored fabrics, it may not be possible to get it.

The girl loves to be pretty, and every time the textile factory flows out of those peach-colored bright yellow and light green fabrics, they are quickly bought, and the price is more expensive.

Zhou Yunmeng took it and looked at it, it was indeed very good.

She said: "Xiaoying is too thoughtful, my father and mother must like this color." ”

"If you like it, it's fine."

Xu Xiaoying quoted a price, but she didn't overcharge, it was the price she got from her cousin's house.

She and Yun Mengke are friends, and they didn't charge her more for pork before, but this time they gave her a pound of pork, and it was not good to charge more. After knowing about this, her father and mother also explained her like this.

Zhou Yunmeng knew it in his heart, and neatly counted the money to Xu Xiaoying, thinking that he would find a chance to make it up to her later.

Xu Xiaoying was in a good mood, no one would come to her to send a letter or anything, so she simply talked to Zhou Yunmeng about making clothes.

"Actually, to make a padded jacket, the nine-foot fabric for women is about the same, and if the man is tall and strong, it must be eleven feet, anyway, this fabric must be enough."

"Didn't you say before that you could buy more leftovers to make clothes for your nephew, and I just bought twelve feet each."

Zhou Yunmeng was taught, and she really didn't know much about these.

said that it was for convenience to make padded jackets for my father and mother, but in fact, it was made for Zhou's mother and Lin's mother, and Lin's father had a military coat.

Zhou's mother is relatively tall, but relatively thin, and there are few mellow ones in the countryside these years, if there are them, they are all blessings, indicating that the family conditions are good.

Lin Mu is relatively short, and nine feet of fabric must be enough.

She thanked Xu Xiaoying again and again, and then left the post office.

As usual, I went around to the uninhabited alley and went into the supermarket to change my clothes, and then went to Songhua Street after coming out.

It was the woman who came to open the door, Zhang Da smiled when he saw her, and Zhou Yunmeng knew at a glance that the matter of cotton should have been settled.

Zhang Da: "Comrade, I have worked the cotton you want, and the people who can find it have been asked to help pay attention to it, and if there is a cotton exchange, I will take it back." I collected a total of ten catties, and it was enough to make two quilts. ”

In five or six days, he can get ten catties of cotton, that is, he knows a lot of people in the open door and Luguang, otherwise he may not be able to get it.

Zhou Yunmeng knew that he had done his best, so he nodded: "It's hard work, otherwise I don't know where to get this cotton, thanks to you." ”

She took out the contents of the bamboo basket, one chicken and one duck, and half of the pig's feet. Beef is so rare that she can stand out enough to take it once in a short period of time.

Zhang Da was happy to see it, and immediately took it to weigh.

The woman smiled and said, "This pig's trotter came just in time, and an old lady came to ask her to help keep an eye on the pig's trotters, and she should buy the pig's trotters when her daughter-in-law gives birth and go back to the milk." ”

Knowing that her husband wanted to win people over, seeing the lesbians standing there, she also pulled down the usual chat.

Zhou Yunmeng nodded and said a few words to her.

Zhang Da weighed the money, and in the end, Zhou Yunmeng took ten catties of cotton and left, not to mention that he didn't have to pay, and he had a few more yuan in his pocket.

After all, the chicken weighs three or four pounds, and so does the duck, and the pig's feet are not light, and the chicken and duck meat are originally more expensive than pork, and the price in the market here has risen even more.

Zhou Yunmeng quickly went around to the uninhabited alley and entered the supermarket to change his outfit back, and then went out of the supermarket, the bamboo basket was stuffed with a sack, covered with coarse cloth, which looked full, but in fact there was nothing.

Just a cover-up.

After completing a major event and gaining a lot, Zhou Yunmeng did not delay, and went directly to the designated place to wait for the ox cart.

After a while, the ox cart arrived, and she got into the cart and sat down on the edge.

A few people from the village came up one after another, and when they were about to leave, another person came up, and those aunts were all greeting her.

Zhou Yunmeng looked up, it was the heroine Shen Baozhu, and she ran into it again.

She lowered her eyes and ignored them.

During this time, because of the work of the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Baozhu always met a lot of accosting people when riding the ox cart, and these aunts were very enthusiastic.

Shen Baozhu coped.

Catching a glimpse of the silent Lin San daughter-in-law in the corner, she was calm.

Shen Baozhu is at work now, and when there is an ox cart, he basically takes the ox cart, and there are always times when he meets Lin San's daughter-in-law, and the two of them really haven't spoken.

Because of the other party's coldness, under the backdrop of these enthusiastic aunts, Shen Baozhu looked at her pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the bamboo basket next to the other party, it is estimated that he is going to buy something again.

Shen Baozhu also grabbed the bamboo basket beside him and clutched the coarse cloth covering it, for fear that the wind would blow and lift it.

She is resting today, and she deliberately went to the county seat to get some meat from that place and come back for a tooth sacrifice. It's good to work anywhere in a supply and marketing cooperative, and many things are easy to buy, but this meat is not good.

Who knows if that place didn't happen today, so she ran to Zhang Dana to ask.

Also lucky today, Shen Baozhu thought about a chicken and two catties of pig's feet in the basket, and smiled.

On the way, Zhou Yunmeng was thinking about cloth and cotton.

It costs about a pound of cotton to make a cotton jacket, and it is okay to save a little eight taels. But since it is to keep warm, it must be enough cotton to have a good effect, and it should be a pound.

Two cotton jackets are two catties of cotton, a total of ten catties of cotton, and there are eight catties left, and a quilt is only four catties of cotton, which is too thin to be warm.

Fortunately, the quilt of the Lin family and the Zhou family can still be used, take out four catties of hard cotton wool and fill it with a new four catties of cotton, which can also be much warmer.

It is too conspicuous to take out so much cotton at once.

Zhou Yunmeng decided that the quilt could be put away first, but the fabric and a pound of cotton could be taken back first to make a cotton jacket, and it would take a lot of time to make clothes.

Back at the Lin family, Zhou Yunmeng went back to the room first, went into the supermarket and divided a pound of cotton into a sack, and took the navy blue horse for the fabric.

She didn't cut much of the twelve-foot fabric, and took it all directly.

When Mother Lin, who went out to collect firewood, came back, she also carried the basket with her things out.

Everybody's in the hall.

Zhou Yunmeng took out the things in the back basket.

"Mother, I asked my classmate to help me buy twelve feet of fabric and a pound of cotton, my father likes to wear that military coat, don't you have no cotton jacket, you usually work hard at home, just make a new cotton jacket."

Mother Lin asked in disbelief: "Make me a padded jacket?" ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Yes, it's to make a padded jacket for your mother." ”

Mother Lin thought of the last time the third daughter-in-law asked her if she had washed her padded jacket, it turned out that it was not a hint that she wanted to wash the padded jacket, but wanted to find out if she had a padded jacket to wear.

I want to make a padded jacket for her to wear.

How hard to buy fabric, how hard to buy cotton.

This quietly bought the cloth and cotton back, and it must have cost a lot of money.

Mother Lin's eyes were almost red, her heart was as soft as water, and the third daughter-in-law also said that she usually worked hard at home, and she was a person who would hurt.

She gave birth to three sons and married three daughters-in-law, and the third daughter-in-law will feel most sorry for her. This will make Mother Lin's eyes look at the third daughter-in-law as if she were looking at her own daughter.

What's the point of being lazy, the third daughter-in-law knows that she feels sorry for herself.

Mother Lin thought, let her do whatever she wants in the future, let alone wash the quilt covers and sheets, it is no problem to wash and lay them every day.

She walked over and looked at the navy blue fabric, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and the more she looked at it, the more beautiful it became.

Father Lin was also shocked, and when he saw his wife like that, he knew that he was very happy, and the third daughter-in-law did more than the three sons.

Sister-in-law Lin and sister-in-law Lin ...... I envy my mother-in-law for having a padded jacket to wear.

I admired the third daughter-in-law again, but they may not be able to be so generous, and the fabrics and cotton that they finally got cost a lot of money.

If anything, they want to warm their children.

Zhou Yunmeng asked Sister-in-law Lin: "Sister-in-law, I want to trouble you to help your mother make this padded jacket, and you can make a dress for Camellia or something with the rest of the cloth, is it okay?" ”

When Sister-in-law Lin heard that she couldn't be envious, she suddenly became excited: "The rest of the cloth is made for camellia?" Of course you can, making clothes for my mother is what I should do, I'm happy. ”

She was very good at it, and she used twelve feet of fabric to make a padded jacket for her mother-in-law, and she used nine feet at most. The rest is three feet, plus the fabric she saved before, Camellia is small, so she can make a dress no matter what.

Camellia hasn't made new clothes for a long time, and it's not easy to save a cloth ticket.
