Zhang Hongxiang: "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask about the price."

The three of them then walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative's cart.

Jiang Tingxia was still puzzled. Zhang Hongxiang clearly said that she came to buy cotton, but she asked about flour, rice, pork, cloth, but never asked about cotton. Half a quarter of an hour passed before Zhang Hongxiang pretended to ask casually, "How much is cotton?"

Salesperson: "One pound is 1.83 yuan."

Zhang Hongxiang complained, "It's really expensive."

"Big sister, this cotton is really good," the salesperson said, holding a ball of cotton wool in her hand, and then letting go, the cotton wool immediately returned to its original shape, "Look, it's so elastic, it can be made into a cotton-padded jacket or quilt, it's very warm."

Zhang Hongxiang was also quite satisfied with the quality of the cotton, but still thought it was too expensive. "Let me take a look."

After saying that, she was about to leave. Jiang Tingxia was indeed tempted. She didn't have any cotton clothes for winter. "I'll buy some."

Salesperson: "How much do you want?"

Jiang Tingxia didn't know either, so she simply asked, "How much cotton is needed to make a cotton jacket?"

Salesperson: "Who is wearing it?"

Jiang Tingxia: "I'll wear it."

The salesperson didn't expect this answer. She had been selling things at the counter for several years and dealt with people all day long. She realized that women are born to worry. When they are young, they worry about their parents and brothers. When they get married, they worry about their husbands and children. When they are old, they have grandchildren. For example, when buying new cotton, which woman would not put her family first? Which woman would not be willing to put food and use first? But the girl in front of her was different. She spoke in a crisp voice. When she said "I'm wearing it", she didn't think about anyone else but herself, and she said it with confidence.

The salesperson was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at her figure. Although the girl in front of him was tall, she was slender, especially her thin waist, which was not even a handful. The salesperson replied, "If I make it for you, I won't use even a pound of cotton."

Jiang Tingxia: "Then I'll buy one pound."

The salesperson responded and then asked, "What about the rest of the family? It's been very cold this winter."

Jiang Tingxia thought of Li Changpu. He refused to take her money. He was the one who paid for all the household expenses. It was only right for her to make him a cotton-padded jacket. She asked uncomfortably, "How much cotton does it cost to make a cotton-padded jacket for an adult man?"

Seeing Jiang Tingxia's blushing face, the salesperson smiled and asked, "For your man?"

Jiang Tingxia felt that the name was a bit vulgar and she had not gotten used to it in these days, but she did not try to correct it and just nodded.

Salesperson: "Then you have to tell me his body shape, and I can estimate it for you."

Jiang Tingxia stood on tiptoe and measured with his hand above his head, "About this high."

Jiang Tingxia recalled Li Changpu's appearance in her mind, and stretched out her hands to compare with her shoulders. As she thought about it, her face began to feel hot. His shoulders were actually wider than hers, which was half the height of hers.

The salesperson said, "He's a big guy. If you buy three and a half kilograms, it should be enough for two people."

Jiang Tingxia: "Okay."

The salesperson asked again, "I just want to make a cotton jacket, cotton pants and a quilt. If you don't have these at home, just buy them together. This way you don't have to go to town again in the future."

The final result was that Jiang Tingxia bought a lot of cotton. Another salesperson whispered to her colleague, "Okay, Sister Zhang, this girl bought all the cotton we brought. You will definitely be the winner this month."

Jiang Tingxia frowned, not because she heard their conversation, but because there were too many and she couldn't take them all. She said, "Just take the ones for making cotton-padded jackets first. I can't take so many."

Zhang Hongxiang exhaled, "Yes, yes, yes, don't buy so much for now."

The saleswoman, Miss Zhang, didn't care, "Okay, I'll weigh it for you."

Instead, Yang Jinfeng, who was standing aside, remained silent, as if thinking about something. Finally, she walked forward and said to the salesperson, "We bought so much, so you can just deliver it once."

Jiang Tingxia glanced at Yang Jinfeng and said, yes, if she didn’t have to carry it herself, she would be happy to buy it.

The salesperson thought about it and decided that, firstly, the girl bought a lot, and secondly, they came from town and would have to go back soon, so it would be worthwhile to make a trip to deliver the goods to her door.

"Okay, if you can finish this package, we will deliver it to you."

Jiang Tingxia gave the address and the deal was done.

The three of them went to look around somewhere else. As soon as they left the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Hongxiang made sure that the salesperson couldn't hear them, so she pulled Jiang Tingxia and said, "You're too generous. They just fooled you a few times and you bought so much. How much does it cost?"

"Also, Jinfeng, she finally said she didn't want it, and I just felt relieved. Why did you say that again? Who in this town would buy things like that?"

Buying so much cotton, everyone would laugh at her behind her back for being a spendthrift.

Yang Jinfeng looked innocent, "Sister-in-law, I just said something because I heard that Sister Xia wanted to buy it."

After that, he turned to Jiang Tingxia and said, "Sister Tingxia, I didn't think so much. Did I cause you any trouble?"

Jiang Tingxia was confused. "It's no trouble at all. I need the cotton. I have to thank Sister Jinfeng for speaking for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that they could deliver goods to my door."

Zhang Hongxiang sighed twice, and saw that Jiang Tingxia was a big-hearted person. She was helpless and said, "I think it's better for your captain Li to be the manager from now on. If you are in charge, you will definitely clean up everything in your house in two days."

Jiang Tingxia: Is it that exaggerated? It's not much money.

The three of them went to look somewhere else and found a shop selling cotton.

Zhang Hongxiang asked about the price, her eyes lit up, and she complained to Jiang Tingxia, "Look, this is cheaper than the one you bought. Don't be so anxious when buying things next time."

Jiang Tingxia smiled, knowing that they were doing it for her own good, "Okay, I'll buy it with my sister-in-law next time."

Zhang Hongxiang tried to bargain, "Can you make it cheaper?"

The man waved his hand. "No, sister, let me tell you the truth. This is the cotton that the village specially set aside to grow. Unfortunately, the quality is not good and no one wants to buy it. The village is selling it now. Otherwise, everyone's work would be in vain. But don't despise it. This cotton can only be said to be substandard. It is definitely cost-effective to use it for yourself. In addition, the harvest in the village is small. The whole village only has this much. If we can sell it, we will sell it. If we can't sell it, we plan to keep it and make some money for every family in the village."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Hongxiang stopped bargaining and readily took the money and ticket and bought three kilograms.

She happily bought the cotton and left, saying proudly, "I got a great bargain today."

"I was originally planning to buy a pound of it and match the old jacket with some new cotton. It's OK. After all, this is a good deal. I'll buy more and make a new one for my son. His cotton-padded jacket is several years old and the cotton has become lumps."

People around saw Jiang Tingxia buying cotton and knew that she was rich and easily influenced, so they all called out, "Sister, come and take a look at us."

So Jiang Tingxia bought a lot of things, which made Zhang Hongxiang poke her arm.

Zhang Hongxiang: "Okay, okay, don't buy it."

Jiang Tingxia also agreed, "I won't buy it anymore." Looking at the things in his left and right hands, he smiled bitterly and said, "I can't carry it anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Jinfeng immediately took the thing from Jiang Tingxia's hand and said, "Sister Tingxia, you are so delicate and fragile, how can you hold it? I will get it for you."

Jiang Tingxia didn't feel comfortable asking Yang Jinfeng, someone she just met, to get something for her. She refused several times, but couldn't get rid of her unwillingness. Yang Jinfeng almost used brute force to snatch the thing from Jiang Tingxia's hand.

Jiang Tingxia's hands were empty and he couldn't help but think: Are they so enthusiastic?

After walking around, Jiang Tingxia was fine, holding a small package and walking easily. Looking at Yang Jinfeng, she was holding something in her arms, carrying something on her back, and had a basket hanging in her hand. She couldn't even see the road in front of her, her waist was hunched, and she was walking with great difficulty.

Jiang Tingxia said embarrassedly, "Sister Jinfeng, can you really take it?"

Yang Jinfeng straightened her back and pretended to be relaxed. "It's OK. Listen to Sister Xia. If you want to buy anything else, just buy it. I can get it."

Zhang Hongxiang: "Jinfeng, I never knew you were such a good worker. You have so much strength."

Yang Jinfeng smiled bitterly, "Haha, who said it wasn't true?"
