Chapter 125
At this time, summer was coming to an end, autumn had not yet come, and there were no new styles of clothes, but both of them bought a pair of small leather shoes.

Luo Xinyue also bought two catties of wool. Looking at the dark blue wool, Lu Jingqiu realized: "Are you knitting a sweater for your business?"

Luo Xinyue blushed slightly, and hummed: "He helped me with tutoring some time ago, and said he wanted me to give him a gift. I thought about it, and knit him a sweater. Do you want to knit something? It’s going to be cold soon.”

Lu Jingqiu didn't expect Shang Ze to be so coquettish, coaxing his fiancée to ask for a gift, and thinking of Jiang Nanzhou, it seemed that she hadn't given him anything yet.

I also bought a few catties of dark blue and gray ones, knitted one for my father, and bought a khaki one for myself. She knows many patterns of weaving, which she learned in her previous life.

Luo Xinyue saw that Lu Jingqiu also bought it for herself, after thinking about it, she also bought some lavender ones for herself.

Afterwards, Lu Jingqiu went to the cotton booth to inquire again. Unfortunately, there is no cotton yet, but it can be ordered. Lu Jingqiu ordered ten catties of cotton.

Luo Xinyue said: "You are going to make a new quilt."

This time Lu Jingqiu blushed and said, "I'm going to have a wedding at the end of the year, and I'm going to be happy."

"Wow, you guys are so fast."

"My family reminds me, how about you?"

"Shang wants to get married early, but my parents don't want to and want to keep me for another two years."

"Your childhood sweetheart, anyway, he has been waiting for so many years, and it's not bad for these two years."

Lu Jingqiu asked Luo Xinyue if she had prepared her things for school.

Luo Xinyue said that they were already preparing. Lu Jingqiu took her to the cloth shop and bought a dark pink bed with faint dark patterns on it. Make a bed sheet.

Ready to go back and make myself a three-piece suit.Just such a bed cloth cost five yuan and eighty cents.

When Lu Jingqiu got home, she wound the wool into small balls.

My aunt told her after get off work and helped her get some red cloth.

Lu Jingqiu gave some cloth tickets to her aunt, and said, "Auntie, I ordered ten catties of cotton at the department store today, and they told me to pick it up in ten days."

"That's fine, then Auntie will make you two pairs of quilts. Cotton is still scarce, so try to get another ten catties to make a thick cover for winter."

"Okay, let me ask. Auntie, I specially left a copy of the millet porridge I made today for you."

Zhou Lanqin shook her head: "The eight-treasure porridge that my aunt ate at the restaurant today has no belly, so keep it for your dad."

"There are some left, bring these to my uncle to drink."

Zhou Lanqin couldn't resist, so he had to take it home.

Lu Jingqiu packed up the cotton at home, as well as the rough cloth in the blue and white box left by her mother, and planned to go to the old tailor with Aunt Liu tomorrow.

After calculating the time, I have to report to school in one week.

Water cups, tea mugs, thermoses, washbasins, toothpaste and toothbrushes, all of these need to be newly purchased.

Lu Jingqiu prepared the tickets to be used tomorrow in advance.

When Dad came back in the evening, he gave her two more candy tickets and said with a smile, "You, Uncle Du, made a bet."

Lu Jingqiu smiled: "Dad, Uncle Du's family also has several children."

"His sons are all at work, and there are a lot of tickets. I gave him two catties of millet a few days ago, and he was so happy. When you encounter good things in the future, get more. But remember, you must careful."

"I see."

"Have you packed up all the things for school? Don't miss anything. Dad is busy these days. You can do it yourself. On the first day of school, Dad will send you off."

"Okay. Dad, I left millet porridge and pickles for you. I'll bring them to you."

"kindness."

Early the next morning, Aunt Liu yelled in her yard.Lu Jingqiu hurriedly dressed, simply fried two goose eggs, drank a glass of milk, and went out.

Speaking of which, after I came back, I found that the two big geese only laid one egg a day, no longer two eggs, and so did the ducks.

Lu Jingqiu thought that it might be because she was not at home recently, her father was not at home often, and her aunt was busy, so she couldn't feed her in time.

But there are a lot of goose eggs, duck eggs, and eggs in the house.

Aunt Liu borrowed the cart from Grandpa Wang's house, and the two of them pushed it to the old tailor not far away.

When the old tailor saw that they were making three pairs of quilts, he said, "I guess it will take two days. In these two days, there are quite a few quilt makers who start school and get married. The queue will be three days later."

Lu Jingqiu thought that the quilt could be made in one day, but she didn't know that she would have to queue up. It seems that the quilt needs to be made in advance.

Aunt Liu didn't care. Knowing that Jingqiu would start school in a few days, she hurriedly said, "Master, my niece also uses this for school. The 1.5-meter bed is covered with a 1.8-meter bed. See if you can give her a better bed." urgent."

The old master looked at his list, there are four or five students who go to school in other places, and they will come to pick them up tomorrow. They are two old couples, and they can only make three or four pairs for those who rush early and late in a day: "I will give you the prerequisites. , I can’t make it tomorrow, at most it will be the day after tomorrow.”

"That's fine."

"Thank you master."

After the two put down the cotton, they weighed it, stated their requirements, and wrote down a list. A quilt measuring 1.8 meters by [-] meters, whether it is spread or covered, costs three yuan for five or six catties, and another two Zhang's cloth ticket, or food, all kinds of tickets for food, the old couple will accept it, and Lu Jingqiu will pay two yuan for the shop below.

After leaving the tailor shop, Lu Jingqiu said: "Aunt Liu, I was too careless, I didn't expect so many quilts to be made now."

Aunt Liu tilted her head and smiled at her: "It's going to be cold soon, and the autumn harvest season has just passed, and some units have issued more food stamps and cloth stamps. In the past, many people got married at this time, and now they catch up with students going to school. There are naturally more quilts. Xiaoqiu, haven’t you noticed that there have been many more people carrying baskets on the street this month?”

Lu Jingqiu shook her head: "I haven't been out much recently, Aunt Liu, they're moving very fast."

"That's not true, especially those in the municipal administration. Their news is more informed. Everyone in the family will know about any policies. There are also some casual ones. When the news comes out, they can collect some money. A comrade in our unit, her wife is Someone from the paper mill, someone above his house, knows some news, and can get toilet paper from the factory. This time, as soon as the news came out, he took [-] rolls directly from the factory. There is no need for a ticket. The loose ones cost around a catty. By the way, Xiao Qiu, do you want it? I’ll ask you tomorrow if you want it.”

"Yes, Aunt Liu, help me buy ten catties in bulk or ten in rolls, and I'll give you the money first." Lu Jingqiu said and gave me ten yuan to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu accepted it unceremoniously and said, "Sure, Auntie will pack it for you tomorrow in a bag, and he is asking us to pass it on to her now." Aunt Liu frowned again and said, "You Look at the factories, especially daily-use factories and food factories, people have connections, and they can make a lot of money by buying some things from the factory and selling them.”

Also, no matter what era, there are many people with quick minds and quick actions, and you can't go wrong by following the policy.
