Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor
Chapter 29 She was the one who struck first.
After a good night's sleep, as she was still half-asleep, a sharp, hard jawline caught Li Wanqing's eye.
......
Li Wanqing's mind jolted, and she instantly became clear-headed.
Why is she clinging so tightly to Cheng Baichuan?!
Li Wanqing held her breath and carefully propped herself up.
Just as she was about to move him, Cheng Baichuan moved slightly, startling her so much that her hand slipped and she fell back down.
A muffled groan reached her ears, and Li Wanqing wished she could disappear into the ground.
Just as she was debating whether to play dead or get up and say good morning as if nothing had happened, her body was suddenly lifted up by a force.
Their eyes met, and a smile flashed in Cheng Baichuan's eyes.
"Your way of waking people up is quite unique; you can continue to do so next time."
Li Wanqing: ...Is it particularly stupid?
"I'm going to check on Nuonuo and Yueyue." Li Wanqing ignored him and got out of bed.
Li Wanqing is considering whether she should sleep with her daughter from now on.
These past two days, because Yueyue was around, she naturally started sleeping in the same bed with Cheng Baichuan.
Given Cheng Baichuan's situation, she was never worried about what might happen.
She never expected that she would be the one to strike first!
She clearly had a good sleeping posture in her past life!
Cheng Baichuan scratched his head, not understanding why Li Wanqing looked unhappy.
He was just trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Li Wanqing quickly forgot about the morning's incident and took the two children to the service station.
Xiao Zhao greeted her warmly, "Sister-in-law, you've come at just the right time. Everything that was missing has arrived. I was just about to have Xiao Wu let you know."
Li Wanqing was stunned. Forgive me! Forgive me!
Did she unintentionally steal Xiao Wu's thunder?
Li Wanqing checked it and then paid with the money.
In the past few days, she has spent nearly 200 yuan, 30 jin of grain coupons, about 5 feet of cloth coupons, and all sorts of other miscellaneous coupons.
Although the expenses were high, they had just moved into the residential area, so it wasn't too conspicuous.
Fortunately, we have prepared most of the usual food and daily necessities at home, except for blankets and autumn/winter clothes.
We can add the rest little by little later.
Xiao Zhao leaned close to Li Wanqing's ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law, our manager said the new cotton will arrive tomorrow."
"But sister-in-law, you need cotton coupons to buy cotton..."
"Don't worry, I have it." Li Wanqing replied softly. Cheng Baichuan's ration coupons had hardly been touched in the past 10 years.
Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief; 30 jin of cotton was no small amount!
"Then tell me the weight of the quilt you want to make, and I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."
Li Wanqing was secretly pleased; she liked straightforward people.
"I need two quilts weighing 4 jin each, one weighing 6 jin each, and one weighing 8 jin each. I'll use the rest to make a few padded jackets."
The weather in Sichuan Province isn't too cold; an 8-pound cotton quilt is enough for winter.
If that's not enough, then use two blankets!
"Okay, sister-in-law, you can go to the tailor shop to get your measurements taken first. I'll deliver it as soon as the cotton arrives," Xiao Zhao said with a smile.
絮棉一斤1块2角,30斤絮棉就是36块钱加30斤棉花票。
Li Wanqing couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement; in this era, tickets were more precious than money.
Fortunately, in a few years the ration coupons will be completely abolished, and then as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want.
In addition, at least two sets of duvet covers should be prepared for changing, which means that more than 100 feet of cloth ration coupons will be needed.
Even Li Wanqing, who had no shortage of ration coupons, gasped in shock, not even including the fabric needed to make the cotton-padded jacket.
"Mommy~~ Ah~ Ah~" Nono cried out anxiously.
[Mom, defective fabric, defective fabric doesn't need a coupon.]
Oh dear, when will I be able to speak? This is driving me crazy!
Li Wanqing's eyes lit up. How come she hadn't thought of this?
"Xiao Zhao, does our service station have any defective fabric?" Li Wanqing asked in a low voice.
Xiao Zhao glanced around cautiously before leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Sister-in-law, you've come at the perfect time!"
"Yesterday, our military region's textile factory delivered a batch of defective fabric with printing and dyeing errors. It can be used to make clothes and quilt covers."
Li Wanqing's eyes lit up; she was so lucky! "How much is it per meter?"
"76 cents a meter," Xiao Zhao explained in a low voice. "Although it's only slightly cheaper than flawless cloth, the advantage is that it doesn't require coupons and there's no purchase limit."
Li Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then give me more."
We'll use the same fabric for autumn clothes and cotton-padded jackets; after all, this is an era of thrift and frugality.
It has only a slight flaw and does not affect normal wear.
Xiao Zhao gave Li Wanqing some patterns to choose from, and Nuonuo also came over, pointing at two pieces of cloth and making "ah ah" noises.
Li Wanqing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know you like it."
The little girl is quite vain; she's choosing fabrics with small pink floral prints.
Nono proudly raised her chin, "Ahhh!"
【nice!】
Li Wanqing and Xiao Zhao were amused by her proud little face, but only Yueyue was genuinely happy for Nuonuo.
Next, Li Wanqing selected two solid-colored fabrics for duvet covers and some fabrics in grayish-blue tones for clothes.
Nono's is made of fabric printed with small pink flowers, which is perfect for making clothes for little girls.
In total, there were 60 meters of fabric, and Li Wanqing paid 45.6 yuan.
45块6角加上絮棉的36块,不到一个小时,就花了81块6角......
There are also labor fees for making clothes, duvet covers, and cotton quilts...
Even though Li Wanqing is not short of money now, she can't help but sigh that money is really easy to spend!
She didn't want to touch the passbook Cheng Baichuan gave her for the time being; she should still have about 1500 yuan in cash on hand.
Cheng Baichuan's medical and rehabilitation expenses are covered by the military region, so she is not worried.
However, she still planned to take Nuonuo to the provincial hospital. With Meng Renjie's letter, Nuonuo's health would definitely improve.
Once things settle down and Cheng Baichuan's leg has recovered, she'll need to find something else to do.
Li Wanqing never thought about becoming a great person or making a lot of money; at least she couldn't waste the chance to start over.
After paying, Xiao Zhao delivered the fabric directly to the tailor shop through the back door, while Li Wanqing took the two children through the front door.
The tailor was a man nearing 60, a man of few words but extremely meticulous in his work.
After deciding on the color, size, and quantity of the duvet covers, we started taking measurements.
"How many outfits do you want made?" the master tailor asked as he took measurements.
Li Wanqing calculated that she needed at least two sets for each of the autumn and winter seasons, for easy washing and changing.
Nono is still young, so it would be best if she could have three sets of clothes in the fall.
"Adults need 2 sets of autumn clothes and 2 sets of cotton-padded jackets, while children need 3 sets of autumn clothes and 2 sets of cotton-padded jackets."
