Chapter 318 Satin, Optimism (3/6)

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!         318

On this day, the men followed Secretary Qi to pay the public grain, while the women and children rested at home.

However, these women secretly told me that it would be difficult to go out when they arrived in the county town and buy some things.

He Tiantian thought about saving enough tickets. She wanted to go to the county town to buy a piece of purple silk and some embroidery thread for Grandma Qi San, and make a beautiful cheongsam for Grandma Qi San.

This was what He Tiantian promised Grandma Qi San before, but there were not enough tickets in it.

He Jingyu wanted to go to the county town to give a report and accompany his daughter to the county town.

The bicycle I rode this time was not borrowed from Secretary Qi, but from He Jingyu himself.

Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun were thoughtful. After knowing that He Jingyu had no bicycles here, he immediately dismantled He Jingyu and Wang Shuping's bicycles in Nanshi, classified them, packed them, and sent them to him.

In this way, you can get two bicycles only for a dozen yuan postage.

Save money and tickets.

So now not only He Jingyu has bicycles, but He Tiantian is now riding a female bicycle from Wang Shuping before.

The bicycles were faster than the ox cart. They came to the county town earlier. He Jingyu sent He Tiantian to Niu Lili and went to the commune.

Niu Lili happened to have a break today and went shopping with He Tiantian.

Because He Tiantian was coming to the county town, Wang Lei and the educated youth asked He Tiantian to bring something. He Tiantian bought two pieces of paper one by one.

Because He Tiantian bought a lot, the salesperson's attitude was a little better than usual.

"Tiantian, what are you buying silk?" Niu Lili whispered, "Although silk looks good, it can't be worn now. You can't live a few days of stable life and you can't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north."

He Tiantian knew that Niu Lili was concerned about her and explained carefully: "I bought it for my grandma. Grandma is a pretty old lady. Now she is older and misses her past lives more and more. I just want to make her favorite clothes while she lives well."

Niu Lili was stunned, and then she thought that He Tiantian recognized her grandmother, who was over 60 years old and didn’t know how many years she could live. It was common sense to buy decent clothes while she was alive.

"So that's it. That's OK, but you can only wear it at home, not outside." Niu Lili reminded, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Niu Lili took her to find a familiar salesperson and bought a piece of fine dark purple satin, which was soft and smooth.

Before leaving, I saw a piece of royal blue fabric, which was full of brilliance and was also very suitable for Grandma Qi San.

So I gritted my teeth and bought it.

Good things come together, do two for Grandma Qi San!

He Tiantian bought embroidery thread and needles of various types, and carefully put them in small wooden boxes.

He Jingyu made a report, had lunch, and took He Tiantian home.

It’s better to have a bicycle, at least you can go back and forth in a day, which is convenient and faster than a ox cart.

When I got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it was dark.

He Tiantian parked the bicycle, took out a small package from the box behind and said, "Grandma, grandma, see what did I buy for you?"

Grandma Qi San walked out of the house on tiptoe and asked with a smile: "Then I want to see what my good granddaughter bought for me?"

He Tiantian took it to the table and lit an oil lamp next to it.

Wang Shuping held the needle and picked up the wick. The oil as big as soybeans became bigger and the room was lighter.

He Tiantian had already opened the package and spread out the two pieces of silk in the package.

"Oh, the color is so good." Wang Shuping exclaimed, "I haven't seen such beautiful silk in many years!"

Grandma Qi San stretched out and gently stroked her, worried that she would get the fabric with roughness.

"Yes, I have never seen such a good fabric for many years." Grandma Qi San said with emotion, "Just buy one, why did you buy two?"

The sweet girl always remembered her words, which moved Grandma Qi San very much!

He Tiantian smiled and said, "Grandma likes it, so let's make two!"

"I want this purple and blue one, give it to your mother." Grandma Qi San couldn't accept it all. Although she liked it very much, she knew it was suitable and was not greedy. She shared the good things with everyone.

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "My adopted mother, I can't wear this fabric. You can make it for you if you like it. When you have a chance in the future, let the sweet girl buy it for me."

"Yes, grandma, this is for you." He Tiantian persuaded, "You have nothing, and your parents don't know what to give you. There are tickets right now, and we are not short of money, so I bought them. Fortunately, Sister Lili helped us, so we bought them the best silk, which is much better than I bought them myself."

He Tiantian didn't know much about silk, and she had seen those pieces before that were not as good as these two pieces.

"This..." Grandma Qi San hesitated. She really liked this very much.

She was alone most of her life.

Since her son disappeared and her husband passed away, her second brother has treated her well.

Now He Tiantian’s family treats her like this, how can she not be moved!

Thinking that there are many treasures in the secret room behind, and if you can't find your son in the future, you will leave them all for He Tiantian's family, so you will make up for them.

"Elderly mother, please take it." He Jingyu smiled and said, "It is normal for a son to be filial to his mother. If you don't accept it, you won't treat us as our own people."

Seeing Grandma Qi San, He Jingyu thought of his mother.

Especially some time ago, seeing the old photos of Grandma Qi San made He Jingyu think of his mother wearing a satin cheongsam and sitting gracefully in front of the window.

"Haha!" Grandma Qi San smiled and was very pleased, "Okay, since I am a filial piety to the younger generation, I'm not polite. I will start making clothes tomorrow. On the purple one, I will embroider the white peony flowers; on the royal blue one, I will embroider the elegant magnolia flowers."

Grandma Qi San wanted to make these two pieces of cloth the best-looking clothes and pay attention to them as a shroud.

With Grandma Qi San's stingy nature, even if she gets underground, she still needs to wear beautiful and decent clothes.

When you are alive, you cannot wear it according to your own wishes, but after you die, you can do whatever you want.

The next day, Grandma Qi San asked Wang Shuping to measure her size.

While drinking tea, He Tiantian watched Grandma Qi San write down her size in the notebook.

He Tiantian discovered that although Grandma Qi San was old and still had small feet, her waist and back were straight and her gray hair was always neat. She was an old lady with temperament.

After recording the size, Grandma Qi San was in a very happy mood while tailing her clothes.

Grandma Qi San's optimism and good mood infected Wang Shuping and He Tiantian.
