Chapter 8

Three years of natural disasters have just passed, and now supplies are tight, and clothes are all uniformly gray, without any novelty.

The maids in the General’s Mansion of Dayong Dynasty all wear better clothes than these, and Song Shuqian is a thousand unwilling and ten thousand disdainful.

At her strong request, the two bought a lot of fabrics and prepared to go home and make them themselves.

Seeing that they were happy to pay, the big sister at the fabric counter asked quietly, “Sister, I still have some precious materials here, all left over from the past, silk, do you want to take a look?”

Song Shuqian immediately became interested. The original owner had two silk clothes, which were very comfortable to wear, especially in summer. “Please take us to have a look.”

The three came to a remote warehouse, which was dirty. Song Shuqian wanted to leave. In this environment, even the best fabrics would be ruined. But when I went in, I found that it was still very clean, and it was carefully taken care of briefly.

The wisdom of the working people should not be underestimated.

The materials here are very beautiful, one is dark green, one is apricot white, one is indigo, and one is green lotus. The others are some with printed patterns. In addition to those solid colors, Song Shuqian’s favorite is a turquoise color embroidered with bamboo.

“Sister, these patterns, each for 9 feet, how much?”

The elder sister was a little embarrassed. After cutting 9 feet, there would not be enough left to make a dress, and it would be difficult to sell. Besides, she didn’t think anyone would buy these things.

The elder sister’s husband is a purchasing specialist. He purchased these silks. After 1 year, there are still a lot left. Usually, she is afraid that they will go bad and always take good care of them. If these things can’t be sold, her husband will inevitably be criticized, which will affect his promotion in the future.

After thinking it through, the elder sister said, “Sister, you know what you are talking about. These are good things. You are lucky to find them. I will tell you the truth. I have taken good care of these fabrics. If you can buy them, it will save me a lot of trouble. I will give you the purchase price. If you buy them all, do you think it will work? If you have extra, you can make some small things, such as handkerchiefs.”

Song Shuqian could understand the elder sister’s eagerness, “Sister, you can’t say that. In this day and age, buying these things also requires taking risks. It is possible that you dare not wear the clothes after you make them.”

Song Shuqian was talking about reality. This is the current era.

She didn’t want to embarrass the elder sister, “Sister, tell me the real price. I will see if it is okay and buy it and give it back. If not, I can only say sorry.”

Song Shuqian’s female workers are very good. In her eyes, these scraps can also be of great use. They can be made into hair bands, purses or bed sheets, which are all very beautiful.

“Let’s put it this way, sister, these are 120 yuan in total, no tickets are needed.”

The cloth is all good cloth. Song Shuxi has seen the cheongsam of the original owner’s mother, which is made of such cloth. I remember that one piece cost dozens of dollars at that time. But now the world has changed. The good things that the ladies competed for at that time are now products of capitalism that cannot be seen in the light.

She is also reluctant to let these good things be ruined by people who don’t understand.

Now she thinks that if it affects Wei Jianguo, it will be troublesome. She looked at Wei Jianguo and asked in a low voice, “Does my buying these things affect you?”

“It doesn’t matter, just don’t wear them out

.” When he said that, Song Shuxi understood that there would be an impact, and they could only deal with it secretly in private.

How could that be possible? Song Shuxi knew the current situation too well, and Wei Jianguo must not be in trouble. Turning around and looking at the eldest sister apologetically, “Sorry, sister, I was dazzled by the beautiful cloth. My husband is a soldier and cannot touch these things.”

The eldest sister is also reasonable. Maybe she is used to being rejected, so she didn’t scold them.

“It’s okay, sister, these things are really dangerous to use now.”

Song Shuqian apologized again and again, saying that she was inconsiderate and would never make such a mistake for you in the future.

Wei Jianguo couldn’t bear to disappoint his wife, so he secretly bought enough to make three clothes and stuffed them into Song Shuqian’s pockets.

They had to be careful, but not too careful.

The eldest sister was quite nice. She took them to the defective goods warehouse and bought some good things without tickets.

Song Shuqian liked the cotton cloth here very much. Others liked Dacron, but she didn’t like it. At first glance, she felt that Dacron was like clothes, which was very uncomfortable to wear. It was not breathable and did not wick away sweat. Cotton clothes were like clothes for people to wear, which was comfortable and comfortable.

She also bought some coarse cloth, which was also very good for making curtains or something.

After saying goodbye to the eldest sister, the two came to the watch counter.

Song Shuqian fell in love with a pair of couple watches at first sight. They had a brown leather strap, a rectangular dial, a white dial, and dark blue hands. They looked very low-key. “Comrade, please take this.”

“This watch is from Dadi. The gold color of the numbers is all gold. It’s a bit expensive. Are you sure you want to see it?”

The waitress didn’t see what was so good about this watch. It was a tacky yellow color. People with dark skin couldn’t even see the watch when they wore it.

“Let’s take a look before we decide.”

The waitress looked at the two people’s clothes carefully and noticed the watch on Song Shuxi’s hand. Imported ones can only be bought in overseas Chinese stores in big cities. Oh, my goodness, this is really a wealthy family. The waitress went to the overseas Chinese store with the help of her aunt. She couldn’t afford anything, so

she went in to learn more. She hurriedly took out the watch.

Song Shuxi looked at it carefully, put it on Wei Jianguo’s hand and compared it, and then confirmed that the watch was made in China before she paid for it.

Wei Jianguo stopped her from taking the money and took out his own. Song Shuxi didn’t argue with him, but just took out a watch ticket, “Use mine.”

Wei Jianguo only had one ticket, and he didn’t act pretentiously and took it directly.

Seeing them like this, the waitress felt very panicked. “Sister, are you buying these for your wedding?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! “Yes, big sister, in order to prepare these things, the whole family of relatives worked together to prepare them.

” “It’s always like this; relatives help me and I help you.”

After leaving the department store, the two of them looked at the watches on their hands at the same time, and they felt very satisfied.

They smiled at each other, said nothing, and seemed to have said everything.

“Is there anything else you need to buy?”

Song Shuxi pulled Wei Jianguo’s sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Wei Jianguo took out the small notebook he carried with him. He was not a very meticulous person in life and often forgot things. He could only write down what he needed to do. He looked through them one by one and handed them to Song Shuxi, “Take a look.”

“That’s almost it. We will buy the rest when we go with the army. I need to bring a lot of things with me. When the time comes, please contact me to see if you can find a truck that goes the same way to bring them over.”

“Okay, no problem.”

Wei Jianguo was a little hesitant, and Song Shuxi didn’t urge him. The way they would get along in the future was slowly decided now.

Wei Jianguo didn’t speak after walking for a long time, and Song Shuqian was a little anxious. “Comrade Wei, we will be a couple in the future, and we will live together for the rest of our lives. Is there anything that we can’t say?”

Wei Jianguo said hesitantly, “When we get married, will it be bad to take so many things from home?”

Song Shuqian didn’t understand at first and thought about it for a long time before she understood. This was determined by the attitudes of the two people towards these objects. In Song Shuqian’s eyes, these were dead objects. They were hers at home and they would be hers in the future.

Moreover, although she didn’t want to, she had to say that her grandfather’s body was running out of time. When her grandfather was alive, she would stay here to accompany him. After her

grandfather left, Song Shuqian couldn’t keep the house. They had already discussed and rented it out directly, and the things could only be taken away.
