Chapter 45

It's hard to be frozen. I have to buy two big quilts. It all costs money.

Over there, Mrs. Fu, the owner's wife, finished delivering the cloth buyers. Just now, when Gu Xiaowan and his wife came in, Mrs. Fu had already seen them. One was that there were guests around, and the other was that the clothes of the two children were too shabby. They did not know whether they were just looking at them or anything else.

After delivering the customers, Mrs. Fu saw that the two children were still watching, so she quickly came over and said kindly, "what do you want to buy, little girl?"

"Do you sell quilts here?" Gu Xiaowan asked, she is really not sure whether there are those things in this cloth shop.

"Yes "In my shop, there are clothes, shoes, pavements and quilts," she replied

"How much is a bed? I want two big quilts as big as the Kang at home Gu Xiaowan replied. There are a lot of people in the family, so I have to buy a big bed. But also to buy a bed cover, when the time comes, four brothers and sisters, no matter how heavy snow is not afraid of cold.

Sister Fu looked Gu Xiaowan up and down and slowly said a number: "one or two silver!"

Sister Fu didn't look down on the two children in front of her. She just looked at the clothes of the two children. She was really afraid to speak out, which Gu Xiaowan couldn't bear.

Gu Xiaowan calculated in his mind that a bed of one or two silvers is worth two liang of silver. It is expensive, but fortunately, it can be accepted.

"Then bring me two beds." Gu Xiaowan looks at Fu Sao and says.

Then Gu Xiaowan clearly changed her face from the first suspicion, to the consternation, the disbelief, and finally the joy in sister Fu's eyes. Gu Xiaowan was amused.

"Well, little girl, wait, and I'll get it for you. Our quilt weighs 12 Jin. Cotton is new cotton of this year. When you sleep at night, you will be warm and alive. " As she boasted, Mrs. Fu took out two quilts from behind the counter and put them on the counter. Then she tied the cup with coarse cloth.

Gu Xiaowan picked up the two beds and bumped on her hands. She knew that sister Fu was not lying.

After putting down the quilt, Gu Xiaowan looked up at the cloth inside the counter again and asked, "landlady, I want to make a new dress for each of my two brothers and one sister. How much cloth do you want?"

When Gu Xiaowan said it, he thought of his three brothers and sisters in his family, and he was a little bit astringent.

The four children in the family have not worn new clothes for several years.

All of them were sewn up with his own and Gu Chuanfu's old clothes when he was alive. There were traces of mending everywhere. The four children didn't even have any extra clothes to change.

It's OK in summer. I wash it the night before, and I can wear it the next day. I can't do it in winter. I have to wear my clothes until the weather is warm.

I feel bitter when I think about it.

"About two pieces of cloth." Mrs. Fu looked at the children's skin and bones in front of her eyes, but she also wanted to keep some well-off children. If the children's family conditions were not good, their clothes would always be bigger, so that they could be worn next year or the next year.

"Then give me two."

"Girl, I have cotton and hemp here. Which do you want?" Mrs. Fu didn't say silk or satin, which was a little more expensive. She was afraid that the girl could not afford it and felt embarrassed. So she said only two of the cheapest fabrics in the store.

Gu Xiaowan understood and was moved. It's really kind-hearted to look at people's faces like this.

"How is this cloth sold?"

"Sister..." Gu Ningping saw that her sister also wanted to buy cloth to make clothes. She was a bit anxious. She quickly pulled her sister's sleeve and said in a low voice, "elder sister, we don't make new clothes. It's too expensive."

It has already cost two liang silver to buy two big quilts just now. If everyone makes a new dress, it will cost more. Although I have made 500 Liang silver this time, if I spend it, it's hard to earn it back.

Gu Xiaowan waved her hand and motioned Gu Ningping not to speak. She turned her head and continued to ask, "landlady, I'll buy two cheapest cloths. I'll take a piece of crimson cloth and make it for my sister and me, and a blue one for my twin brothers. From inside to outside, I want to make all the new ones. But I can't make clothes. Can you make clothes here

One day, sister-in-law quickly nodded and said, "yes. If the clothes inside are also made, you can take all the white ones and wear them close to the body. It's very comfortable. You four children, take a piece of cloth. Here are three pieces of cotton cloth. One piece of cloth is 800 Wen. Three pieces are 2400 Wen. If you add handicraft, you will be charged 30 Wen for a suit of clothes. If you do it by hand, four sets will be 120 Wen. Add cotton and so on. Even if you have 200 Wen, the total is 2720 Wen. If you erase the change, you will be charged 2700 Wen. What do you think? "

Gu Xiaowan secretly calculated that it would be less than 30 Liang silver for all the four children to make a new dress. In addition, the two big quilts bought just now were less than five Liang silver, which was acceptable.

Gu Xiaowan nodded and said to his sister-in-law, "OK, take these!" Gu Xiaowan paid the money, bought so many rice noodles, and bought two quilts. One person made a suit of clothes, about five Liang silver. It was still OK.Mrs. Fu zizizizi took the silver and came to measure the height and size of the two children.

Seeing that Gu Xiaowan and Gu Ningping's shoes were all broken, sister Fu felt a little sad and said directly, "little girl, if you buy so many things here, I'll give you a pair of shoes one by one."

When Mrs. Fu was a child, her family was also very poor, and the poor often wore such shoes with holes in them.

Why is the thumb broken there? Because the children's feet grow fast, the shoes are so big that the big toe will burst the small shoes.

Sister Fu used to wear these shoes when she was a child. When Gu Xiaowan saw Gu Xiaowan again, he seemed to see himself when he was a child. He felt a little empathy, so he directly said that he wanted to send some pairs of shoes to Gu Xiaowan. In any case, the upper of the cloth does not need much, just need a few pairs of sole, also can't spend a few money.
