Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

While buying things for his mother's family, Yu Jiang also did not forget to buy things for his parents-in-law.

After walking around for a few times and thinking it over again and again, Yu Jiang finally gave up the idea of ​​buying a washing machine.

To be honest, although washing machines are already available in foreign countries these days, and can be purchased at Friendship Stores in China, Yu Jiang really doesn’t like this function…

Instead of wasting this money, Yu Jiang felt that he might as well go back and draw a blueprint, and then give it to Lao Yu, asking him to contact the machinery factory to make it.

After the washing machine she designed is made, she will mail one to her parents-in-law. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than spending a lot of money to buy something she doesn't like.

Mother Lu had no idea that her daughter-in-law had come up with something amazing in such a short time. Now, just by looking at Yu Jiang's buying style, Mother Lu felt that she had gained more knowledge.

Fortunately, the Friendship Store is not like a department store. Since most of its customers are foreign guests, the Friendship Store thoughtfully provides a delivery service.

Yu Jiang provided the address and asked them to deliver the Lu family's portion to their home. Yu Jiang also sorted the remaining items that needed to be mailed and waited to go to the post office next door to mail them.

Finally, Yu Jiang and Lu's mother began to slowly choose what clothes Yu Jiang would wear tomorrow.

When it comes to formality, a suit is undoubtedly the best choice. However, it is summer now, and although wearing a suit is formal, it is still possible to get heatstroke.

Not wanting to wear a suit, but still wanting to be formal, Yu Jiang discussed it with Lu's mother and decided to just buy a shirt.

Finally, after more than ten minutes of choosing clothes, Yu Jiang and Lu's mother both liked a white shirt. Although the shirt looked simple, the buttons on the shirt were not traditional buttons, but the buttons were the same as those on the cheongsam.

The white fabric and the blue and white rim are formal yet not old-fashioned, further demonstrating China's own characteristics.

Especially since Yu Jiang is likely to meet foreigners in person in the future, this dress is really perfect for him.

Seeing that there was a men's shirt of the same style next to it, Yu Jiang told Lu Beiyuan's size without thinking and asked the waiter to pack it for her.

This action was just a thoughtless act. After he finished speaking, Yu Jiang realized that Lu's mother was still standing next to him!

Seeing Lu's mother's playful smile, even Yu Jiang couldn't help blushing. He urged the waiter to pack the clothes for her quickly and pushed Lu's mother to look at other clothes.

However, today's shopping goal was achieved, and Yu Jiang was the last one to pay the bill.

Wow! You won’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked!

Yu Jiang bought a few things here and there and actually spent nearly five hundred yuan!

When buying the milk powder, Lu's mother had already prepared herself mentally, so she was just a little shocked at this moment, but she quickly calmed down.

Anyway, the son and daughter-in-law can earn money, and they as parents will not worry about their children's money. So just spend it, it's not like you can't earn it back.

After coming out of the Friendship Store, Yu Jiang and Lu's mother went to the post office next door.

Grandpa and his wife Yu, Yu Hongcheng's family, and Yu Jiaojiao's family packed their belongings into one package and sent it to Yu Hongcheng's home. They will then call them and ask Grandpa and Grandma Yu to help divide the things.

Yu Jiang mailed the copies for Fenghe Village, the laboratory, Yu's father and mother, and the one for County Magistrate Fang to Yu's father's address at the machinery factory.

After all, I left the car and keys at home when I was looking for them, and Yu's father can drive, so it is not difficult to ask him to drive and help distribute things.

Finally, there was a large package left. It was bought by Yu Jiang for the children in the orphanage in City O. It was filled with clothes, school supplies and other things.

However, it is not Yu Jiang’s alone who has the credit for such a large package.

When Lu's mother learned that the clothes and school supplies that Yu Jiang bought were for the children in the orphanage, she ignored Yu Jiang's delay and generously bought a bunch more, saying that she was afraid that the children would not have enough things to share.

Knowing that Lu's mother had good intentions, Yu Jiang did not delay for too long. Lu's mother did not want Yu Jiang's gratitude, so it was enough for her to just keep the kindness in mind.

Now, Lu's mother is one of the sponsors of the orphanage. Yu Jiang also left a letter to the person in charge there, stating what items were bought by her mother-in-law.

After returning home, Yu Jiang went back to her room and took out the letters that the children in the orphanage had written to her from her luggage (inside the bracelet space).

Mother Lu sat on the sofa, reading the letters written by the children page by page. The immature and unfamiliar handwriting and the childish and innocent language made her imagine how the children looked when they were writing the letters just by looking at the words.

He was focused and serious, as if he was not writing a letter but doing something great.

Lu's mother pointed at a letter and said to Yu Jiang, "Look at you. You sent so much candy to the children, and now the children have cavities and are complaining to you!"

Yu Jiang also read the letter and asked the person in charge of the orphanage.

What can I say? I can only say that the kid deserved it!

They had already planned that each child could only have one candy per week. If they wanted to eat candy at other times, they could only study hard and exchange it for good grades, or do some work within their ability to exchange for something.

The child saved his candy for the evening, and fell asleep while eating it.

Then, that child successfully became the first child in the orphanage to have cavities. When the director of the orphanage found out about this, he was both angry and amused, and directly punished the child by not allowing him to eat sweets for a month.

Look, the child has written a letter to complain to his elder sister Yu Jiang.

Well, that kid probably wanted Yu Jiang to ask the people at the orphanage to ask for mercy and exempt him from the punishment of not being able to eat sweets for a month.

Yu Jiang just chuckled twice at this, picked up his pen and wrote a reply to the person in charge of the orphanage. In addition to the usual communication, he also explained the matter of the batch of things that were sent to them today.

Finally, Yu Jiang naturally did not forget to instruct the person in charge to take the child to the hospital as soon as possible to have the rotten tooth extracted.

That's right! Children should have a complete childhood, because being caught eating candy and having their teeth pulled is definitely an indispensable experience.

However, this incident did serve as a reminder to Yu Jiang that the hygiene habits of the children in the orphanage should be improved, otherwise there would be a lot of unnecessary troubles like tooth decay in the future.

For this reason, Yu Jiang also specially consulted Lu's mother who was reading the letter nearby, and Lu's mother told Yu Jiang everything she knew.

Yu Jiang sorted it out a bit and wrote down all the key points of hygiene habits in simpler words. Fearing that the people in the orphanage would be reluctant to spend money to do these things, Yu Jiang also wrote a lot of them for the first time. The intensity of his reminders was the only one in Yu Jiang's life.
