Qi Ling: We all wear modern clothes, so it’s reasonable to get rich, right?

Go back to dorms.

Yu Min felt warm in her heart.

Before going to the countryside, she did not expect that her life would undergo such earth-shaking changes; not only did she meet her relatives and have the ability to improve their lives; but she also met so many new friends: Zhang Lanfang, Zhang Ye, Bai Gu, Chen Zhibin, Qian Yue, Grandma Liu, Grandpa Wang, Aunt Zhao Ju, Grandma Zheng...

The most important thing is that she understands the future development and sees the hope of freedom for her family.

This is a gift from God, a blessing from mother.

The man is dead.

She needs to live a happy and brilliant life with her mother's share.

……

A night without dreams.

The next day, Yu Min went to see her grandfather and aunt.

They were very happy to see her.

Yu Min took the opportunity to naturally mention that Bai Gu and Zhang Ye celebrated his birthday yesterday, and the two became even more happy.

This means that Minmin has come out of the shadow of her mother's death.

Yun Fei: "For your birthday next year, my aunt will make longevity noodles for you."

Yu Min smiled sweetly: "Okay."

Yunshan said: "We will do it today, let's celebrate Minmin's birthday."

Yun Fei suddenly realized: "Yes, I will do it right away."

Yu Min did not refuse.

She continued to talk to her grandfather, making him laugh from time to time.

"Haha cough cough cough..."

Suddenly, Yunshan coughed.

Yu Min's expression changed, she was relieved, and said worriedly: "Grandpa, are you okay?"

Yunshan waved his hand: "Slight cold."

"You left some medicine last time. I'll take 2 pills later and I'll be fine."

Yu Min touched his hand, which was cold, and was shocked: "Why are your hands so cold?"

Yunshan didn't take it seriously: "It's always like this when you get older."

Yu Min frowned.

At this time, she looked at the quilt and touched it. It was hard and very thin inside. She was shocked and angry: How could this kind of quilt keep me warm?

Seeing her touching the quilt, Yunshan explained: "The weather is not bad, it's not cold."

It's okay not to explain.

Yu Min couldn't help but pursed her lips: "Grandpa, if you catch a cold or get sick, and I can't know in time, what do you want me to do?"

Yunshan suddenly panicked.

He coaxed: "Good Minmin, grandpa is wrong."

Then, he sighed: "I just don't want to trouble you all the time. Although grandpa knows that my granddaughter is very capable, she often walks by the river without getting her shoes wet. It would be better to have one less thing to worry about."

Yu Min pursed her lips and looked directly at him: "My ability is to take care of and protect my grandpa, aunt and uncle."

Yun Shan's eyes were filled with heat.

"If grandpa knows, he won't do it again."

Yu Min's expression improved a little.

Yun Fei's cheerful voice interrupted: "The longevity noodles are ready..."

……

Saying goodbye to her grandfather and aunt, Yu Min returned to Baijiaping Brigade and went to 2023.

Qinglongwan wet market.

Yu Min stood in front of a shop and looked at the sign: Tan's Cotton Cotton Shop.

The shop is closed.

She said to herself: "That's it. The door is not open. Let's call and ask."

dial.

"Hey, who is it?"

"Hello, I'm outside your shop in the market now. I want to play some quilts. Is that okay now?"

The other side immediately replied: "Okay, just wait a moment."

Yu Min perked up.

After hanging up the phone and waiting for 20 minutes, a middle-aged man came over on an electric bicycle. He asked, "Did you call just now?"

Yu Min nodded: "It's me."

The man parked the car and opened the rolling door. What Yu Min saw was a huge machine for playing cotton. He heard the man's voice: "My family plays cotton by hand. There are two ways. One is processing. , you provide cotton, I only charge the labor fee, which is 10 yuan per kilogram, starting from 10 kilograms; the second method is that we provide cotton and directly process it into cotton quilts, the cotton is 20 yuan per kilogram, and the labor fee is only 5 yuan. , also starting from 10 pounds.”

Yu Min understood and replied: "I choose the second one. However, I want to play something thin and something thick."

老板点头：“没问题，我们家可以弹2斤、4斤、5斤、6斤、8斤和10斤的，你看要多重的？”

Yu Min fell into deep thought.

Cotton coupons were very scarce in 1969, and even city dwellers dared not say that their homes were not short of cotton.

She was ready to play more.

Grandpa, aunt, eldest uncle’s family, second uncle’s family, Uncle Han’s family, my own, and finally reserve a few more sets for emergencies.

外公准备一套夏秋被、一套冬被；小姨也是2套；大舅舅和表哥表姐各2套；韩叔叔一家四口准备4套；二舅舅一家4口准备6套才行；自己要两套；这就22套了，凑个整，要个30套算了。

decided.

她说道：“总共需要30套，11套4斤的，11套10斤的，其他8套全部要5斤的。”

Hearing this, the man's eyes widened: "You want 30 sets?"

He didn't expect it at all.

Nowadays, there are all kinds of silk quilts, down quilts... The market for cotton quilts is much smaller, especially for cotton-spun shops like theirs. Young people will not patronize them. Only older middle-aged and elderly people are willing to come.

You don’t actually make much money playing cotton.

This is mainly an ancestral craft of his family, and he is reluctant to throw it away. Fortunately, now there is self-media. His son took a video of him playing cotton and posted it online, which attracted a lot of traffic. At the same time, he also received online orders from time to time. Have a bite to eat.

Closer to home.

Yu Min knew that he wanted more.

She asked: "No?"

The boss immediately shook his head: "Of course."

Yu Min breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good, it saves her the chance to find another store.

She asked again: "How long will it take to get it?"

The man pondered for a while and said: "I only have three masters in my family. My dad, I and my wife are working hard to finish the work. It will take at least a week."

Yu Min nodded: "One week? Okay, I'll pick it up on the 10th."

Boss: "I need you to pay some deposit in advance..."

"OK, how much?"

"About 1000 yuan."

"Okay, can I transfer money via WeChat?"

"can."

After paying the deposit, Yu Min left the cotton shop.

She looked at her watch and saw that it was already 5 pm. She found a maocai shop.

This maocai is made from butter.

When it was served, Yu Min couldn't help but take a deep breath, picked up a piece of potato, and took a bite. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "The ingredients are so delicious, it is really worthy of 2023."

Hearing this, the couple next to her couldn't help but glance at her and smile at each other.

Yu Min was already immersed in the food and didn't notice her surroundings at all.

Eat, run and drink enough.

She patted her bulging belly, held a bottle of old yogurt in her hand, paid the bill, and walked out with a satisfied look on her face. While eating, she walked towards the bun shop. The door of the shop was still closed.

It's been several days.

Yu Min was a little worried, but the proprietress of the shop next door walked out. The two exchanged a few words, and she asked: "Aunt Chen, Grandma Liu, why haven't they opened a shop these days?"
