Chapter 13: Chapter 0013: My Own Ho 1_1 Chapter 13: Chapter 0013: My Own Ho 1_1 “How much are these shoes? And these clothes?”
Feng Qingxue didn’t dare to buy much, so she chose a pair of cloth shoes and a pair of cotton shoes for Feng Qingyun, along with a whole outfit of clothes. The outfit consisted of a small cotton jacket with a red foundation and floral pattern, small cotton pants with blue foundation and white flowers, and an olive-green coat and blue pants to be worn over the cotton clothes.
The clothes were second-hand, but six to seven tenths new, and clean with no patches.
Feng Qingxue had never taken care of a child before, so she had to judge by sight when buying clothes for Feng Qingyun.
The salesperson responded, “The single shoes for children are three mao, and the cotton shoes are seven mao. Although these clothes are second-hand, the family who sold them were well-off. The child only wore them for less than two years. No cloth tickets are required, just give twelve yuan.”
Those who act swiftly get, those who hesitate lose.
In this era of scarcity, many things are scarce and in demand.
Feng Qingxue didn’t hesitate to pay the money, grabbing the few clothes and shoes.
Afterward, Feng Qingxue picked out a pair of black cloth shoes with a thousand-layer sole for herself, spending two yuan.
After thinking for a while, she spent another two yuan on a worn-out white jacket patched with cloth for Feng Qingyun.
No ticket required, even though it’s second-hand, it’s a bit more expensive.
The salesperson said this while she was paying.
Feng Qingxue didn’t buy clothes for herself, she decided to make do with her ragged clothes for now. When conditions allowed, she would make her own clothes or modify the clothes that matched the aesthetics of this era from her space to wear.
Her primary purpose to co to the city was to buy clothes and shoes for Feng Qingyun.
The little child wearing an adult’s old cotton jacket was truly pitiable.
Even if Feng Qingxue wasn’t the original host, seeing Feng Qingyun like this tugged at her heartstrings.
Furthermore, every causing has its effect, she was reborn in the original host’s body, she should bear the responsibility of the original host’s life before.
Once out of the departnt store, Feng Qingxue, not in the mood to wander around, made her way toward ho.
When she was close to the entrance of the village, Feng Qingxue had a thought. Three cornal lumps mixed with cabbage leaves appeared in her bamboo basket, sized like fists, lying on top of the clothes and shoes she had bought.
A few decades later in the 21st century, many people pay attention to healthy eating, consuming coarse grains, so there are shops selling miscellaneous grain buns in every street and alley.
When she was hoarding ready-to-eat foods, Feng Qingxue had bought a lot and put them in her space.
Feng Qingxue didn’t go to her second uncle’s house to pick up her younger sister, but went in the direction of the team leader Feng Shuanzhu’s house directly.
“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, are you ho?”
Feng Qingxue called out twice at the door, and out ca a thin old man still in his patched old military uniform.
Calling him ‘old man’ isn’t exactly appropriate as Feng Shuanzhu was just fifty years old at most
However, Feng Shuanzhu’s hair was already gray, and his bronze face was full of wrinkles.
“Qingxue? Where are you coming from? What can I do for you?” By virtue of the generations, Feng Shuanzhu was Feng Qingxue’s uncle. He was the second eldest among the brothers, so Feng Qingxue called him Second Uncle, and he was quite affable.
By this ti, it was already noon. However, since every family was short of food, lunch was pushed back to around two o’clock.
That way, they ate two als a day, and went to sleep directly when it got dark.
So many people were sunbathing at the door while chatting leisurely. When they saw Feng Qingxue looking for Feng Shuanzhu, their eyes turned to watch.
“Where can I be coming from? I went out begging for food, else Qingyun and I would go hungry.” Feng Qingxue explained the reason of her going out, and said bluntly, “Second Uncle, I ca to ask you a favor.”
