Hua Zhao happily left with 15 yuan and Hua Qiang, and went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
There are so many things needed at home! The first is fabric.
The betrothal gifts sent by Ye Shen included six quilts and several pieces of fabric, but the materials were so good that Hua Zhao was reluctant to use them.
That piece of gold and red cloth is enough to make a vest for her sumo wrestling figure!
As for herself, she only had two pieces of clothing that she could barely wear, one of which was so shaved off that she looked like a beggar from several trips to the mountains.
Therefore, she is in urgent need of strong fabrics to make clothes.
There are also those beddings, which are very new. It's a pity if they get dirty, and they are not easy to remove and wash. She also needs sheets and quilt covers.
Cotton and soft cotton cloth are also needed, and she has to start preparing things for the babies!
Quilts, clothes, shoes, hats, everything must be duplicated, it makes me excited just thinking about it!
Hua Zhao glanced around with gleaming eyes, and the 15 yuan was gone in the blink of an eye. Even the salary Hua Qiang had just received, 50 yuan, was gone.
Hua Qiang's smile was a little forced.
His little girl seemed to be spending money faster... But this time it was not food but clothes, which surprised him.
But he soon thought that Xiao Hua'er was a big girl and had a man of her own, so she should dress up as she should.
Just... Hua Qiang glanced at the figure walking in front of her, carrying a full willow basket on her back, with the wind blowing under her feet, and couldn't imagine what she would look like dressed up in all her glory.
He is actually not blind...and he also knows that others are not blind.
...
The two of them packed their bags and arrived at the train station to wait for the next bus home. Little did they know that someone on the last bus had already arrived outside their door.
"Is anyone here?" Two men shouted standing outside Hua Qiang's house.
As a result, no one responded for a long time.
"Who are you looking for?" Hua Xiaoyu suddenly asked weakly from behind the two of them.
But her eyes were always fixed on a bicycle behind the man, a strange table she had never seen before, and a large box placed on the table.
"Fellow, is there no one at Hua Qiang's house? Is he out?" A man turned around, looked at Hua Xiaoyu and asked politely.
Hua Xiaoyu's eyes flashed and she said shyly: "You are looking for my uncle. He is not at home. He took Hua Zhao to the town early in the morning to buy something to eat. He probably won't come back until dark."
In fact, she didn't know where the two of them had gone. It was just that she wanted to "reconcile" with Hua Zhao today, but she found that the two of them were not at home at all. They had not come back for most of the day. She probably went to town to buy something.
Gone to eat.
Thinking of those delicious foods, Hua Xiaoyu felt sour in her stomach.
"Who are you?" she asked the two of them politely.
"We are delivering things to Comrade Ye Shen. This is his betrothal gift, a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio, and a watch." The man said with a smile, without seeing Hua Xiaoyu's face twist for a moment.
She felt that she might be sick, her whole body felt like it was soaked in a vinegar vat, and it was sour from the inside out.
"Hua Qiang is your great-grandfather?" the man asked Hua Xiaoyu.
Hua Xiaoyu suddenly laughed, and her smile was very sweet: "Yes, he is my great-grandfather, and my grandfather is his biological brother. I am Hua Zhao's best sister!"
"Oh." The man looked at her and then at the sky. If he didn't leave, he would not be able to catch the evening bus back to the provincial capital. They had important work tomorrow.
"Let's move the things to my house first. Although we won't lose them if we put them in the yard, we have wild boars, roe deer, foxes, etc. from time to time. It would be bad if they get damaged."
Hua Xiaoyu smiled and said to the two of them: "When my uncle comes back, we will deliver it to him."
"Okay." The two men looked at each other and smiled at her.
Then one person pushed the cart and the other held the sewing machine box behind the cart.
However, they did not trust Hua Xiaoyu gullibly.
Along the way, they asked five families and all confirmed that Hua Xiaoyu was telling the truth and that the two families were indeed brothers.
