The Pretty Military Wife
Chapter 35 For a New Home
When I got here, I bought some cotton wool first.
In addition to bringing two beds for Lao Xiao, Zhou Guoliang suggested that they also buy two beds:
"It will get a little cold in a few days. Buy another mattress. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear it."
Now Liang Xinyue basically knew where this place was. The northwest region was very cold in winter.
Besides, there are no air conditioners and other things now, and it might even snow in the mountains.
Liang Xinyue frowned slightly and said:
"It's not enough to just buy cotton wool. Minister Wang only brought cotton wool to our home. We also need to install a quilt cover."
"Then buy some cloth and take it back. Can you sew?"
In the previous life, there were various quilt covers, and one set was enough. But in the original body's memory, the quilts at that time were sewn with needles.
There is a large piece of white cloth underneath, a floral quilt on top, and cotton wool wrapped in the middle.
Liang Xinyue knew how to make it from memory, so she believed she could still make it. But she still had to buy these things.
Finally, I asked a cloth seller, who gave me a suggestion: I could buy half a piece of bleached white cloth, so that I could make the base of several quilts and use them alternately.
Liang Xinyue looked at the quilt cloth again. There was a kind of cloth with big red flowers, which was exactly the same as the big flowered cloth from Northeast China that she had seen in her previous life.
Another type is old blue cloth with white flowers printed on it.
The cloth seller said seriously:
"Some people also buy this as a base cloth. This cloth has been starched and washed, so it feels hard, but it becomes very soft after washing and is warm when covered."
Liang Xinyue was thinking that both bedrooms in the house had windows, but they were glass windows, so people from outside could see inside at a glance.
It would definitely be uncomfortable if there is no privacy in the bedroom.
So, Liang Xinyue finally chose to buy this old blue cloth printed with white dots, and took it home to cut some for making quilts and some for making curtains.
I also bought a bleached cloth base sheet and a quilt with large peony flowers in pink and red.
To be honest, there is really no choice. This is the best and most practical model that can be picked.
There should always be something warm in a room.
After taking a look at a thick checkered cloth, Liang Xinyue bought two more beds, preparing to use them as bed sheets.
Just the bed stuff alone cost a lot of money. Looking at these things, Liang Xinyue thought of asking Zhou Guoliang:
"Do we have enough money? You gave your money to the elderly and spent so much money on it. Is it enough?"
To be honest, Liang Xinyue wanted to buy a lot of things, after all, the house was really empty and had nothing. And there were not many opportunities to go to the city.
Zhou Guoliang patted her shoulder gently and said:
"Don't worry, we still have this little bit of money. At worst, we can use up all the allowances for the past ten years."
Then he whispered in Liang Xinyue's ear:
"Besides the money for my family, I still have a little over a thousand yuan. You can plan how to spend it first. You will get a salary every month in the future, so don't worry."
He spoke softly and leaned close to her, and his hot breath blew on Liang Xinyue's ears, causing her little face to turn red.
However, after roughly calculating the price of the things I bought, I found that they were still within my affordable range.
"Then I have to buy some cloth and make some cotton clothes. What will I wear in winter?"
"If you can make it, buy it. If you can't, we will find someone to do it in this county."
In my previous life, I was good at sewing because I liked to do handicrafts when I had nothing to do.
"It should be no problem."
So, I bought some more cotton and some cloth to make cotton-padded clothes and trousers. I am afraid of the cold, so I have to protect myself.
It’s not so bad. People were poor in that era, and the man I married seemed to be in good condition in that era.
It’s just that the money that people had saved for ten years was wasted.
Xiao Wei is a porter today. When he can't carry the things he bought, he will run back to the car and come back again.
Zhou Guoliang stayed by Liang Xinyue's side, buying, buying, and buying.
He also knew that that little home had nothing and everything had to be bought from scratch. Sometimes when Xinyue was picking things, he would quietly look at Xinyue.
Xinyue was excited to have the power to decide how the home should be decorated.
Zhou Guoliang said he would not interfere. He agreed to whatever Liang Xinyue said about how to decorate the room and what to add.
Liang Xinyue is not one to spend money recklessly. She first buys practical things so that she can live her life.
When he turned around, Zhou Guoliang saw the clam oil bought over there and bought another box.
When Liang Xinyue turned around to pay, she saw wool for sale on the shelf over there.
When I asked, they said that it was from Shanghai, and it was good stuff. There were Qinglun and woolen ones.
Liang Xinyue asked about the price, then turned around and pointed at Zhou Guoliang and herself, asking how much thread would be needed to knit sweaters and trousers for them.
So, they bought another big bag of wool, Liang Xinyue's was bright red, while Zhou Guoliang's was light grey and dark grey.
Seeing Xiao Wei running in after delivering another trip, Liang Xinyue added another brown color.
Xiao Wei didn't expect that he would come back with another big bag of things just after running back.
Fortunately, the wool was not heavy, so Xiao Wei carried it out again.
After buying almost everything here, he went to the grain station. Zhou Guoliang had a grain book, which allowed him to buy more than ten kilograms of rice every month. He also had some grain coupons, which could be used to deduct some money.
Zhou Guoliang took out two notebooks, one was his and the other was Xiao Wei's.
"There's no use keeping this kid's, so just buy it for us. You can also buy some oil on it."
Whether in the previous life or the original body, I didn't know that there was such a supply.
Later I understood that this was the legendary difference between city dwellers and country people. People in the city who had jobs had this kind of food supply book from the state.
With this kind of book, you can buy a certain amount of grain, oil and noodles at a low price.
They bought a lot of rice this time because they didn't know when they would go to the city next time.
Zhou Guoliang bought all the books in this year's book before he bought any. Xiao Wei bought all the books two months ago. It is said that they were bought for Lao Xiao to use at home.
The three of them kept buying things for the whole afternoon, and finally it started to get dark and they had to go back.
Fortunately, with the introduction of people in the county town, they were able to buy some vegetables and meat.
With a sense of crisis, Liang Xinyue prepared to store some storable vegetables, so she bought a bag of cabbage and a bag of potatoes.
"Why buy so much for just these two? How long will it take for just the two of us to finish it?"
“This kind of dish can be kept.”
In the end, the three of them had to squeeze in, and the entire car was filled with newly purchased things.
When the car arrived at the door to unload, Lin Xiaoju leaned over the wall with a curious look on her face to see how many good things they were going to move into the house.
