Back to the Good Life of the 80s

Chapter 168

No wonder it feels comfortable to the touch, soft and not prickly.

On the contrary, this cotton cloth is more delicate, soft and comfortable, and it is indeed much better than those homespun and floral cloths.

"Ah, please buy a few more cotton cloths, this one is comfortable to wear." Wang Ting picked out a few cotton cloths with brighter colors, one peach red, one lake blue, and one goose yellow, and handed them to Qian Xiaofeng.I took two pieces of dark cotton cloth for Adia and Ada, and finally picked out two pieces of cotton cloth, one dark blue and one dark brown. These two pieces were for Nie Zhijie. Wang Ting took the cloth and squinted. Ah Ba, who was beside me, thought about it and let it go.

No one in the family knew about her dating with Nie Zhijie. If she chose fabrics for Nie Zhijie, wouldn't it be tantamount to announcing it to the world!
Ah Dai has a clear distinction between grievances and resentments, and if others treat her well, her old man will return ten points.That person, Adia, is more honest. If others treat him well, if he doesn't return it, he will feel uncomfortable.When she came back from the army with the food stamps, Ah Dia had said that she wanted to buy cloth to make clothes for Nie Zhijie.

A few middle-aged women who picked cloth in the shop heard that Wang Ting wanted to buy more cotton cloth to make clothes, and looked at their grandparents with disdain.

A group of poor ghosts are only fit to wear homespun and cotton cloth.

Wang Ting's five senses were sensitive, and she immediately noticed the gazes in the store. They were neither malicious nor kind. When she looked at them, she said those middle-aged women and looked away.

"Why do you use so many cotton cloths? There are still a few underwear at home, and I can't wear them all." Qian Xiaofeng looked at her helplessly and funnyly while holding the cotton cloths. She doesn't know how to live, how does she know that cotton cloth is not a good material? , like homemade cloth, the price is relatively cheap, and it is generally used to make underwear and trousers. It doesn't take much cloth. One piece of cloth needs to be made into multiple sets, and the whole family can't wear it all.

Qian Xiaofeng also came here from Jinyiyushi. She doesn't like these fabrics. The best is Suzhou embroidery and Shu embroidery silk fabrics. After the war, these things are hard to see, and there is nowhere to buy them.Here is a remote town again, the fabrics in the town are similar, the best are the new glossy fabrics and Dacron.

Compared with those new fabrics, she prefers cotton, which is softer and comfortable to wear.But all the girls in the town liked Dacron, so she thought about buying Dacron fabrics for her daughter to make clothes.

"Underwear?" Wang Ting tilted her head, thinking about the inner garment she was wearing, and then suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Ah, the cloth I picked is not for inner garments, but outerwear. Casual clothes and skirts are very nice. I heard from the school teacher that people in big cities like to wear clothes made of fine cotton, so I want to buy a few for a try. Many girls in the village are good at embroidery. When the time comes Embroidering flowers on the cloth will definitely look good." Wang Ting's lies came out as soon as she opened her mouth, speaking familiarly and naturally.

"That's a good idea. The color of the fabric looks good, and it looks good when it's made into clothes." Qian Xiaofeng didn't think too much, and gestured to Wang Ting with the goose-yellow fabric. It looks better in clothes."

"Ada's embroidery is naturally good." Wang Ting complimented Ada without any trace, and she already had an idea in her heart. She didn't plan to embroider those complicated patterns on her two cotton cloths, and they were not expensive fabrics. I plan to embroider some cartoon patterns on cotton cloth, such as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Penguin, Sika Deer, etc., which are beautiful and simple.

"I made a few sets of these horses. I heard from those teachers that the old ladies in the city also like to wear cotton cloth, and the underwear is looser. They sweat a lot in summer, and the cotton clothes and trousers are easy to absorb sweat and are cool to wear. Ada Try it." When Qian Xiaofeng finished drawing the two pieces of fabric on her body, Wang Ting pointed to the four dark ones she picked.

"Don't buy so much all at once, one is enough for me and you, if it's easy to wear, I'll buy it next time." Qian Xiaofeng didn't want it, and when she heard her say that, she thought about it and took one. match.

"Then I want half a piece of each of these two colors. I can't wear that much by myself. If it looks good, I'll come and buy it next time." Wang Ting thought for a while, pointing to her two pieces of cloth, Qian Xiaofeng I also thought this was the case, so I agreed.

After picking out the fabrics for their family, Qian Xiaofeng didn't leave, but looked through the cotton fabrics again, and all he saw were dark blue, royal blue, brown, and other dark-colored cotton fabrics.Wang Ting guessed who A-Day was picking the cloth for, so she hugged the few pieces of cloth and watched quietly.

The shop owner initially ignored the three of them, thinking they were country bumpkins who couldn't afford fabrics, but when he saw them picking out several bolts of fabric, he suddenly regained his energy.Seeing the old man squatting at the door, I took a stool from the shop for him to sit on.

Liang Shan declined, took it over and sat down.

Out of the corner of her eye, Wang Ting saw that the smile on her face was a little thicker, and the boss's eyes were a little more kind.

"Ah, are you still picking out cloth? The three of us have already picked out the fabric. Are you picking out for Ada? The color of this cloth is too bright for Ada to wear?" Wang Ting asked knowingly, pointing Qian Xiaofeng's hands were brown and yellow, and he seemed to disapprove.

"I didn't choose it for you, Ah Da. These two pieces of fabric were chosen for the comrade of the People's Liberation Army. He is a great benefactor of our family, and he gave so many tickets... Man, we must not be ungrateful. Our family can't take it either." What good things come out, cotton cloth is not expensive, and it is still affordable to make two sets of clothes. In the morning, I took his car. Do you think these two colors look good?" Qian Xiaofeng took the cloth and was in Wang Ting again. Body gestures.

Wang Ting was happy in her heart, but she couldn't see any expression on her face. She pouted and frowned, as if thinking about what Qian Xiaofeng said. After a while, she pursed her mouth and said unwillingly, "I see, Ah Hey, let’s pull each of these three colors of cloth!”

Wang Ting clicked on the cotton cloths of three colors: dark blue, sapphire blue, and rice dumpling yellow. Qian Xiaofeng glanced at the three pieces of cloth and was also satisfied with the color. Making clothes, Wang Ting saw that she didn't know.

The grandparents and grandchildren picked out the cloth and carried them to the counter. Seeing that they bought so much cotton cloth, the boss couldn't close his mouth with joy, and his attitude became much more enthusiastic.

"Give me the money, or the ticket?" The few people who bought the cloth before had already left, and there were only three of them, their grandparents and grandchildren, in the store for the time being. The boss didn't have to worry so much when he said this, but he didn't yell loudly.

"Here's the ticket, figure out how much you want to pay." Qian Xiaofeng dug out a pouch from her trouser pocket, carefully counted a dozen cloth tickets, handed them to the boss, waited for the boss to figure out the money, and then gave the money.

Liang Shan saw that their grandparents and grandchildren had picked out, and came over with bamboo baskets on their backs.After putting the pulled fabrics into bamboo baskets, the family left the cloth shop and went to the next shop.
