Chapter 20
When Xiao Muting heard his friend,
The voice was indifferent, “Please invite Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhou.”
Su Wan was stunned. “That’s easy. I promise to make sure you guys have enough to eat and drink. I don’t have anyone to invite.”
Xiao Muting asked, “Didn’t you buy any clothes?”
Su Wan shook his head, “I only bought two pieces of cloth.”
She wanted to make a door curtain. After all, she was married.
The room was the same as the kitchen and looked unsightly.
Xiao Muting said, “Pick out two sets of clothes, and pick out two sets for your aunt as well, as a gift for your aunt when we get married.”
Su Wan didn’t refuse, as she had wanted to buy it.
It cost more than a hundred yuan to choose several sets of clothes.
In this era, what does over a hundred mean?
A bicycle only costs a few dozen yuan.
Su An thought he had tickets, so he pointed to four sets.
Let the employees of the supply and marketing cooperative do the calculation.
Otherwise, you have to use cash when you go to a fabric store.
The other party asked, “Would you like to use the replacement ticket or cash?”
Su Wan looked at the man, “I only have thirty years left, can you…”
Xiao Muting was a little confused and asked, “You bought these things… without using the ticket I gave you?”
Su Wan shook his head. “I should also contribute, but I only need to buy one set. Four sets are too expensive.”
She roughly guessed that the man’s salary should be only thirty-four yuan.
At most fifty or sixty.
She spent more than a hundred dollars.
It was as if he had spent three months’ salary.
The female employee was a little impatient. “I can tell from the looks of it that you are from the countryside. One of you is wearing sackcloth, and the other is wearing a military uniform that you picked up from somewhere.”
“These are Dacron fabrics, and they are the most popular style now.”
In this era, I don’t know where some people got old military uniforms.
Wearing it to blackmail people or act tyrannically.
The people in the city hated it.
Because most of the criminals are those who escape from the mountain villages.
Although this man is handsome, it is a shame to marry this country bumpkin woman.
Proves that this man is a country boy.
Then being handsome is of no use?
But they want to marry in the city.
Su Wan knew very well.
Soon after it opened,
These city people especially look down on people coming from the countryside.
She asked in a loud voice, “When I buy clothes, of course I have to weigh the cost-effectiveness. It’s not your turn to comment on whether I buy them or not.”
Xiao Muting already knew that this little woman was very powerful.
Therefore there was no intervention.
When you are out and about, sometimes it is not a good idea to be too weak.
The other party was very disdainful, “It sounds better than singing, just like you can buy it with cash, without the discount of cloth coupons.”
Su Wan sneered and said, “Captain Xiao, let’s go somewhere else.”
She wouldn’t be so stupid as to give her the money to make.
It will make her even more angry if I buy it and come here again.
Xiao Muting took out the money instead, “I want these four sets, plus these two pairs of pants.”
He picked up two pairs of underwear.
The staff felt sorry that such a handsome guy was from the countryside.
But he actually took out two hundred yuan at once!
Su An thinks that these are too expensive considering the price of goods.
“Captain Xiao, forget it, I won’t buy it.”
Xiao Muting frowned slightly and asked, “If you don’t like it… you can buy some cloth and make it.”
Su Wan felt that this straight guy was really a bit clueless when it came to the little details in life.
“No, the clothes here are a bit expensive, let’s go buy them somewhere else.”
There are so many supply and marketing cooperatives, and some of them maliciously raise prices.
The discount on cloth coupons is equivalent to a waste.
She knew very well that there were no invoices in that era.
As soon as they left, the cloth coupons went into the pockets of the female employees.
The female employee sneered, “You can’t afford it, but you still spend so much time looking at it. You’re wasting my time.”
Su Wan thought that if she was alone, he would definitely teach her a lesson.
But after all, Xiao Muting is here, and he is a soldier.
She always had to pay attention to her image when she was outside, he had already “warned” her before!
Xiao Muting also asked, “It doesn’t matter, just buy it if you like it.”
Su Wan stopped him from paying, “I don’t want the fabric she touched. This fabric is hot in summer and cold in winter. It’s not as comfortable as the fabric on my body.”
This kind of linen material is more expensive than gold in modern times.
A simple piece of clothing costs hundreds of dollars.
Those with some Chinese style design will cost thousands.
The problem is that Dacron is really suffocating in the summer.
This is popular now.
Many people who wear this will sweat even when sitting quietly.
But for the sake of face, no one mentioned this issue.
She just wanted to buy a set for Sha Gu.
Because Shagu didn’t know how to keep warm for a long time, she now has a cold body.
She doesn’t work, so it’s fine for her to wear this Dacron in the summer.
Linen is necessary to keep warm in winter.
Xiao Muting didn’t know and thought that the little woman knew a lot.
“Let’s go.” Su Wan didn’t want to stay here for a moment.
The female employee felt uncomfortable when she saw them leaving.
He cursed, “You have no money but you still look for so long. The poor people from the countryside buy things like the Japanese invaders entering the village, carrying sacks, which is hilarious.”
Su Wan stopped.
Xiao Muting frowned slightly.
He whispered, “Don’t get angry with these villains. It’s not worth it.”
Su Wan replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t quarrel.”
She turned around.
He replied with a smile, “Don’t you know that I was just teasing you? It’s right to see that you are angry.”
“You are just an employee, and you are arguing with customers. You really need to improve your behavior. I wish you good luck.”
The female employee was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
Seeing this, other employees came over and wanted to say something.
Su Wan immediately smiled and said, “Don’t scold me, or I will file a complaint immediately, and then you won’t even be able to keep your job.”
Those employees dared not even fart and could only feel indignant about their grievances.
They got this job by giving a lot of gifts.
In the future, I will have to rely on this decent job.
I hope the matchmaker can find a good husband for them.
Su Wan pulled the man away.
Xiao Muting could see that those people clearly looked down on him.
But although the little woman was smiling, she was speechless after receiving those lessons.
He wouldn’t buy clothes for a woman and say, “Buy whatever you want.”
Su Wan said, “Let’s go to the cloth shop. Dacron is not as comfortable as cotton, nor as warm as linen. It’s more expensive than cotton and linen. I might as well buy cloth.”
Xiao Muting replied, “But the clothes are only available in the city, so I have to come back to get them next time.”
Su Wan is an expert in handicrafts.
There is a sewing machine in the dormitory. She likes Hanfu.
Because she thought buying good ones was too expensive, she taught herself how to design.
She also made a lot of Chinese-style bags that match Hanfu.
Selling it online is doing pretty well.
“Of course, my grandmother was born into a wealthy family. She has been able to embroider since she was young, so sewing a set of clothes is a piece of cake for her.”
This is true, the original owner’s grandmother did know how to make clothes.
But it’s handmade.
Xiao Muting was quite surprised. This was another shocking thing for him.
Nowadays, most girls of her age don’t know how to make clothes.
Go into the cloth shop,
Su and An took a fancy to floral fabrics.
Not only can she make a top, she also plans to make a skirt.
Then I cut some black and navy blue fabrics to make pants.
I also want some with patterns, to be used for decoration.
By the way, I also bought all the tools and buttons needed to make clothes.
I also chose a pair of sandals for myself and my aunt.
I saw a pair of transparent, modern sandals.
She almost laughed.
Isn’t this the one that a certain big brand sells for over two thousand a pair?
It’s so funny, it’s only 1.20 yuan a pair here.
I specifically looked for a supply and marketing cooperative that specialized in selling cloth.
When paying, no cash is required.
Xiao Muting’s cloth coupons are enough.
Su Wan was very surprised, “Why do you have so many cloth coupons?”
Xiao Muting seemed to think for a moment, “I am a grown man and I don’t buy many clothes. I always wear military uniforms. I have saved these cloth coupons for a long time.”
Su Wan nodded and said that was right.
“You don’t have to buy another pair of panties. I’ll make them for you.”
Xiao Muting looked a little unnatural, “No need to bother, I’ll just buy two.”
The underwear he was issued by the army had very short legs that stuck to his thighs.
He was afraid that it would look unsightly, so he bought those cigarette-shaped underwear.
Su Wan lowered his voice, “Captain Xiao, you’re not embarrassed, are you?”
Looking at the teasing eyes of the little woman,
Men have an emotion that they can’t describe or explain.
“If we live together in the future, will you wash your own clothes?”
The man blushed when he heard this…
