Chapter 24 Getting along(1/2)
With these three meters of cloth, Xu Lingjun decided to make a dress for Xiuzhi.
As for him, he doesn't need it.
When he was a teacher, he still had a Chinese tunic suit as an appearance.
After so many years, he has kept it in the cabinet.
It can also be regarded as his most decent piece of clothing.
Fortunately, his figure has not changed much over the years, otherwise he would not be able to wear it.
"Xiuzhi, is this piece of cloth beautiful?"
Xu Lingjun touched this piece of red corduroy cloth and felt very good.
"No, it doesn't look good. This cloth is nice."
There was a hint of affection in Xiuzhi's eyes, but she still refused.
Instead, he touched the dark blue cloth and wanted to compare it with Xu Lingjun.
"Xiuzhi, I have a Chinese tunic suit of this color."
"We want this red cloth to make your wedding dress. I don't want you to be wronged."
Xu Lingjun grabbed Xiuzhi's hand and put down the dark blue cloth.
Show her the red corduroy.
"But~Old Xu~"
"Okay, I have something to wear. I will make clothes later." Xu Lingjun said domineeringly.
"Comrade, we want this piece of cloth. It's only two and a half meters tall."
"For the remaining half meter, what kind of cloth do you think would be good for making underwear? Just give me half a meter."
Xiuzhi's appearance was a bit sudden, and he had just arrived in this world.
There is no time to complete many plans.
If you give him time to prepare, there will be no shortage of cloth tickets or anything else.
But that's okay, he is an "old right" in the first place.
It’s hard to explain how I got so many things at once.
It's better to do these things slowly and let people around you get used to it.
There is no way, his identity is still too restrictive.
It will take five or six years to truly live a normal life.
The salesperson has been paying attention to them for a long time.
They see many different kinds of people every day.
There are also many newlyweds with family difficulties.
But there are not many people like Xu Lingjun who can think about their wives.
When buying something, especially cloth, don't buy it first with a man in mind.
Although this red cloth is much better than this dark blue cloth.
But in the end, the dark blue cloth suitable for men sold quickly.
This "old husband and young wife" know how to love others even as they get older.
Look at how thoughtful this man is, even 2.5 meters tall is enough to make clothes for his wife.
The remaining half meter can be used to make underwear for my wife.
So Xu Lingjun unknowingly won the favor of the salesperson.
Gaining favor from the salesperson is of great benefit to Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi.
For example, the meat that can be bought with a marriage certificate has been turned into bacon, and the half a pound of oil has been turned into sesame oil.
As for the sugar and wine, Xu Lingjun chose ordinary fruit candies and ordinary local wine.
It’s not that he didn’t want to choose a good one, it was because of his personality and his reputation as an “old right” person.
He wants to go back to invite people. If he makes something too good, it will easily be criticized by people.
Xu Lingjun is no longer a young man in his teens or 20s, and he only knows how to show off when he is fine.
He is very aware of the horror of human nature.
Others will sympathize with you only if they see you as pitiful.
If you are seen as good in everything, will others still see you as pitiful?
It wouldn't matter to an ordinary person, but he is an "old right"!
Finally, Xu Lingjun used the tickets he had saved to buy a few taels of peanuts, melon seeds and red dates.
In addition to entertaining guests, it mainly means giving birth to a child soon.
He didn't take advantage of the 20 kilograms of food stamps given by the field department, and directly bought 20 kilograms of white flour.
As for the less than twenty kilograms of food stamps he had saved, he did not exchange them.
They have to eat soon. After exchanging money, what will they eat?
Xu Lingjun now feels that not having a ticket is too troublesome.
I can't buy anything, and there are many restrictions on my life.
"Xiuzhi, it's almost done. Let's see what else you need to buy."
Xu Lingjun took a pile of tickets and prepared to settle the accounts.
He figured it out, but the main reason was that he didn't have any tickets and couldn't buy anything else.
"Let's buy some window paper, red paper and red candles."
"When I get back, I'll re-paste the windows and cut some window grilles."
To be honest, women think more carefully about things at home.
Xu Lingjun was already very attentive, but he still couldn't remember these details.
"Okay Xiuzhi, I didn't expect you to be able to cut paper!"
"You'd better be careful, see what else you need, and then pick it up."
"This wedding only happens once in a lifetime, so we can't be too shabby."
"Yeah~"
Xiuzhi nodded happily. She was just afraid that Xu Lingjun would say that she was spending money blindly.
Now that she is recognized, the little girl is of course happy.
In the end, it cost about eighteen yuan to buy all these things.
Xiuzhi watched Xu Lingjun hand over the money and felt heartbroken again.
"Lao Xu, don't spoil me like this in the future, I will be spoiled by you."
Xiuzhi looked at the many things she bought and said.
"No, these are all necessities."
"Look, who doesn't need this sugar or wine?"
"And the last sewing box and window paper you bought are all necessities."
Xu Lingjun knew what the little girl meant as soon as he heard it.
He simply ignored those little peppers, red headbands and other things.
"Lao Xu, you are so kind."
The little girl felt so sweet in her heart at this moment.
Xu Lingjun is not only a nice person, but also capable. Most importantly, he can coax her.
Xiuzhi originally felt a little uncomfortable about marrying a man who was fifteen years older than herself.
But now she actually enjoys Xu Lingjun's coaxing feeling like a child.
This was a pampering she had never felt before.
Not even in front of her parents.
Because there is no such love in her family, it is more of a burden on the family.
It was past twelve o'clock when they returned to the car shop.
Xu Lingjun had already planned to continue having a meal here.
There are a lot of people eating at the big truck shop during this time, and they are all poor men who drive big trucks for transportation.
To be continued...
