Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

Chapter 229 Don’t you know how expensive cotton is?

Jia Dongxu finished the matter quickly, chatted with Wang Tongming for a while, then went home at the corner of the street to pack up and leave work.

After arriving home, I carried a pile of clothes to Zhao Tang to get a haircut and a bath.

As Jia Dongxu was soaking in the water, he suddenly remembered that his wife had been pregnant for about a month. Could it be that He Daqing and Widow Bai were also pregnant?

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to take some time with Sha Zhu to go to Fengze Garden to meet He Daqing. He had to ask him about the incident with Yi Zhonghai last time and why he was so cruel.

When he came out clean, Jia Dongxu had already changed into a new cotton coat. Looking at his extremely dirty clothes, Jia Dong took them home with disgust and washed them with Jia Zhang's family.

"Dongxu, you won't go again, will you?" Jia Zhang asked worriedly.

"No, I've finished my work and am coming back now."

It took Mrs. Jia Zhang several pots of hot water to finally wash Aunt Min's cotton coat clean.

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to make you a new cotton coat and trousers in advance, otherwise you wouldn't have anything to change into."

"Mom, go buy some food tomorrow. It's almost time to set up two tables. Some friends will come to visit me in the next few days." Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang said.

He has no money now, but Jia Zhangshi also receives royalties sent to Jia Dongxu from time to time, so he still has a lot of money.

Jia Zhang is no longer stingy. She is very happy with a lot of money in her hands.

"Okay, come with me and buy some. I'll buy more. Look how thin you are. It hurts to see you."

Seeing that Jia Zhang was still wearing her old cotton-padded clothes, the manager would definitely not agree to ask her to buy new clothes, so he decided to find a roundabout way to save the country.

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "Mom, why don't we buy a sewing machine? We can make some clothes for the kids."

Jia Zhang thought about it and realized that this was true. She hadn’t prepared anything for her grandson yet, and she couldn’t be too busy when the time came.

"Okay, I'll go buy it in a few days. What you said is true. I haven't prepared anything yet."

"Don't wait a few days. Let's go buy it today. Let's buy some cloth and cotton and make a new cotton-padded jacket for Yu Shui." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"Well, okay." Jia Zhang has agreed.

After hanging up the clothes in the room, Jia Zhang went into her room to get the money.

Jia Dongxu was waiting at the door with a backpack, "Mom, please bring more money. Don't be reluctant to spend my royalties."

Jia Zhang said angrily in the room, "Okay, okay, you've forgotten the hard times after just a few days of good times. You have to save money. If it weren't for my little grandson, do you think I would be willing to do so?"

Jia Dongxu carried a backpack and went out with Jia Zhangshi, "Okay, save money, I know, earning money and spending it will make it moldy."

"I just like to see money rot, what's wrong with that? You should earn it for me!" Jia Zhang pointed at Jia Dongxu, "Also, you are an official now, so don't give me any dirty money."

"Oh, don't worry. I have more money than I can spend every month. Is it worth it for me to spend so much money?" Jia Dongxu said, thinking of the gold on the roof beams. Although those belonged to Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu would not have any objection if he used two pieces.

Why bother doing that yourself? If you really need money, you can just give yourself a higher salary.

Jia Dongxu and his parents went to the vegetable market and put the vegetables into a backpack as soon as they saw them. Now there were only three people eating at home, her, the old lady and Yu Shui, so they bought fewer vegetables. This time when Jia Dongxu came back, fish and meat were indispensable.

Soon the backpack was full.

"Let's go, these dishes are enough for several tables."

Jia Zhang said, "Who is your friend? I've never heard you talk about friends before. This is very rare."

"Yes, we are friends. He wants to go with me to Jiajia Village to be the principal of the school." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

When Jia Zhang heard this, she thought that this child was good and worthy of being mentioned as a friend by her son.

"Oh, that's great, he seems to be a very honest kid. We should prepare some delicious food and treat him well."

After the two returned home and put the dishes in place, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Without saying a word, Jia Zhang took out 210 yuan and bought a sewing machine.

While counting the money, Jia Zhang muttered, "Dongxu, I built the house for you to marry a wife. Now I am also fighting for my grandson!"

"Okay, Mom, I know, you are a great grandma!" Jia Dongxu said speechlessly, making Jia Zhang also laugh.

"Comrade, this sewing machine is too heavy. Please help me deliver it to my house."

"This is considered a large item, and we'll deliver it! Comrade, are you sending it now?" The comrade from the supply and marketing cooperative was very considerate.

"Mom, you come back with me. By the way, give me some money so I can buy some cloth and cotton." Jia Dongxu said.

Jia Zhang took out some money and was about to count it out to Jia Dongxu, but Jia Dongxu took it and said, "I'll buy it first, don't worry."

"Please save some money for me." Jia Zhang reminded him worriedly.

"Okay, I get it!"

Jia Dongxu said this and went towards the place where cotton was sold.

Cotton is apparently in short supply in the supply and marketing cooperative and purchase restrictions have been imposed. Jia Dongxu can buy as much as he wants.

"Comrade, each person can only buy 2 kilograms of cotton, no more!" The employees of the supply and marketing cooperative were obviously unwilling to sell more.

Jia Dongxu hesitated for a moment, then pulled someone over and said, "Comrade, can you buy two kilograms of cotton for me? I'll give you 1 yuan."

The man didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and nodded and agreed quickly, fearing that Jia Dongxu would regret it if he was a step slower.

In this way, Jia Dongxu bought more than ten kilograms of cotton and 15 yuan of cloth.

Jia Dongxu looked at the shiny pile of money in his hand and thought it was time to go find his wife and ask for some money to cushion the problem.

When Jia Dongxu came back carrying the cloth, Jia Zhang was almost mad with anger.

"Jia Dongxu, don't you know how expensive cotton is? Buy me so much!"

"Uh, okay, okay."

Jia Dongxu said awkwardly, "Mom, do you think these are enough to make you a cotton-padded jacket?"

"Okay, okay, I'll do it. I've got this cotton, so I'll make cotton-padded clothes for you all."

Jia Zhang first gestured the size of the raindrops, then thought about the length that would be almost as long and started cutting them directly.

Jia Dongxu watched Jia Zhang-shi skillfully dismantle the clothes on the building, spread cotton on them, and start sewing them on the sewing machine.

"Hehe, Dongxu, I have to say, the sewing machine is really fast. Just this time, the pants are almost done."

After a while, Jia finished making the cotton-padded jacket for Yu Shui. It seemed a little big, but it should be just right after waiting for a year or two.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Jia Dongxu was thinking about going to look for He Daqing with Sha Zhu.

I don't know what's wrong with this guy lately.
