Saying goodbye to He Aiguo and Gu Dali, the group was off to buy things.
It was rare to co to the county, and they had quite a bit of money on hand.
Everyone wanted to wander around.
To buy so things.
They planned to find Jiang Yue together later.
Fan Xiuying and Jiang Xiaoxiao, the mother-daughter duo, headed to the departnt store, setting off on a shopping spree.
Jiang Laoshi and Song Moting exchanged a glance, both n wore wry smiles.
Won, when they start shopping, they are irresistible.
They both had a premonition that today they would definitely buy quite a lot.
Indeed, it was a shopping spree.
Fan Xiuying pondered that now the ginseng was harvested, they had ti, and she had discussed with Old Mrs. Song to handle the wedding for these two kids in the coming days.
Although, recently, they prepared quite a bit for the wedding.
Now, however, Fan Xiuying felt the two kids had amassed such a sum of money, the wedding should be done properly, dragging her daughter to buy clothes for her.
Actually, Jiang Xiaoxiao herself didn’t feel the need to buy any specific clothes.
After all, the style and taste of clothes from that era didn’t suit her.
According to her mother’s idea, if she got married, she might have to dress in a set of red padded jacket and pants.
In such hot weather, wearing such an outfit might cause heat rash, but that’s how the elders thought.
However, don’t doubt it, that’s how weddings were in that era.
So, in the end, she had to decide on her own; otherwise, following her mother’s thoughts, she was dood.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t like any of the clothing styles, but she grabbed so fabrics, after all, having lived through that era, using a sewing machine to make clothes was no problem.
Even though there were ready-made clothes at that ti, most people preferred making their own clothes.
At the fabric stall, the colors were quite dull, blue-gray, white-red, nothing else was worth buying.
Of course, there were so floral prints of Dacron, but they looked quite monotonous; there was really no room for creativity.
Jiang Xiaoxiao bought quite a bit of fabric, which worried Fan Xiuying, as her daughter currently didn’t have a sewing machine, if she wanted to make clothes, she would inevitably have to borrow one from the farm, she would have to find out if they had one.
Of course, Fan Xiuying was quite confident in her sewing skills.
Nowadays, people make clothes without much tailoring, clothes are roomy and loose, pants are the sa.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t tell her mom, she wasn’t planning on having her mom make them, since it was her wedding dress, she planned to make it herself.
The farm manager’s house had a sewing machine, the only one in the farm.
Whoever wanted to make clothes had to borrow it from them.
It really was inconvenient.
Of course, she also pulled so native cloth and cotton, these were for making bedsheets and covers.
In those days, bed covers weren’t in vogue, generally, people made bed sheets and covers, but Jiang Xiaoxiao chose to make so bed sheets and covers for easy cleaning.
Additionally, she bought towel blankets, towels, pillowcases, and other things that amounted to quite a bit.
As the head of the bride’s family, naturally, Fan Xiuying wanted to buy a lot for her daughter.
All their furniture was made by the n in the family, but they were still lacking so toiletries.
Such as the red ’Double Happiness’ wash basin, thermos, including pillowcases, towels, toothbrushes, cups, these were part of the dowry.
Especially Fan Xiuying, she actually saw a radio in the departnt store.
Things like sewing machines and bicycles weren’t available here, the radio was still considered a rare item.
She imdiately got the idea.
Old Mrs. Song was an open-minded person, she made it clear that the groom’s family would definitely not lack any of the three major items.
They would provide more, they would never let her daughter suffer, and so the bride’s family ought to provide so dowry as well.
Actually, there weren’t many other things they could offer, the furniture was made by themselves, which didn’t cost much.
Her daughter had just given her 10,000 yuan, and her son-in-law knew this clearly.
If the bride’s family didn’t provide anything, it seed unfair to her daughter and might make others look down on them.
So she made up her mind and bought the radio.
Fan Xiuying felt she was wise, worried that when she ca here to visit her daughter, they might need coupons to buy things.
She brought all the coupons from her ho, collected over many years.
Including bicycle coupons, and even a TV coupon, but unfortunately nothing was available here, but the radio coupon was no problem, she could use it.
Additionally, she generously bought her daughter two red leather suitcases.
Jiang Xiaoxiao refused them at first.
In that era, weddings required red suitcases.
Actually, common folks couldn’t afford suitcases, they used two wooden boxes painted red.
Such red suitcases were displayed in the departnt store, but generally not affordable for most.
Unlike Fan Xiuying’s grand gesture, the sales lady imdiately knew she was marrying off her daughter.
She had no choice but to buy back two red suitcases.
By the ti they finished buying things, Song Moting and Jiang Laoshi’s hands were already full.
They both really grinned wryly, just knowing when two won got together it wouldn’t be good.
Look at this buying spree; they nearly emptied the departnt store.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t want to neglect her little niece, so while shopping, she also rembered to buy milk powder, canned goods, and so small snacks for the child. In that era, there weren’t many delicious snacks, perhaps just so sticky rice strips or pastries.
Even if you wanted to buy sothing else, the place didn’t have it.
The floral prints were beautiful, she pulled several pieces to make small clothes for her niece.
The ready-made clothes sold outside were not suitable for her niece.
By the ti they finished shopping, it was almost dark, and Gu Dali and He Aiguo had probably already gone ho.
They couldn’t go back to the farm now even if they wanted to.
The shuttle had stopped running long ago, so laden with things, they marched to Jiang Yue’s house.
Jiang Xiaoxiao guessed her elder sister and brother-in-law didn’t know they were coming, by this ti they had probably finished dinner, so they bought so cooked food on the way.
Sure enough, when they arrived, Jiang Yue and her family had just finished washing and tidying up their kitchenware.
The courtyard door was knocked, and when it was opened, her parents and sister with her brother-in-law were seen.
Jiang Yue was stunned, mainly because these four people were carrying so many things, did they move the departnt store ho?
She quickly invited them inside, Qin Ming hurriedly ushered everyone to sit inside.
Then fetched water for them to wash their faces.
Jiang Yue went straight to the kitchen to quickly boil water and make dinner, knowing they hadn’t eaten much.
Jiang Xiaoxiao, upon arriving at her elder sister’s house, wasn’t shy at all, she went straight to the kang, holding her little niece and playing with her, this little one was almost a year old.
She spoke early and could already simply call Papa and Mama.
Thanks to Jiang Xiaoxiao’s help, the child was chubby and fair, looking very plump and fair.
Holding her was especially fun.
