Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 11 Meeting the uncle’s family

Finally, before leaving, Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao's patched clothes and took her to the embroidery workshop.

Compared with other shops, the embroidery shop is much deserted, with few customers.

When the proprietress saw someone coming, she was about to greet them enthusiastically. After seeing what the mother and daughter were wearing, she sat back at the counter with a look of disgust on her face.

Jiang Weiquan acted like he couldn't see it, pointed at the cloth of various colors in front of him and said: "This, this, and that... they are all eight feet apart."

An adult needs about six or seven feet of cloth to make a set of clothes. If you buy more, you can use the remaining cloth to do other needlework.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Mom, can you make clothes?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment.

She didn't know if the original owner could make clothes, but in her previous life, she had been a special soldier for several years before the end of the world, and she could still do ordinary needlework such as sewing buttons and quilts.

But she has never done needlework such as embroidery and making clothes.

After all, in modern times, shoes, clothes, etc. are all bought ready-made.

Jiang Wei coughed slightly and changed his words: "Well, boss lady, can you order tailor-made clothes here?"

As she spoke, she took out a piece of silver and placed it on the counter.

The landlady's eyes suddenly brightened up, and she changed from her previously disgusted expression, and said in a flattering tone: "Yes, of course, what kind of clothes do you want me to wear?"

Jiang Wei pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao over and said, "She and I each have two sets of ready-made clothes, cotton ones, and two pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles."

Upon hearing this, the boss's face became more and more full of smiles, and she quickly took out a measuring tape to measure the size of the mother and daughter.

Most of today's poor people choose to make coarse linen clothes. After all, linen is cheap. A piece of linen costs more than 150 yuan, and clothes made of cotton are much more expensive than coarse linen clothes!

A piece of cotton costs five hundred coins, twice the price of linen.

The mother and daughter asked for four sets at once, which cost them several taels of silver!

As soon as the proprietress wrote down their measurements, Jiang Wei asked for two more beddings, both of which were made of pure cotton.

Now I still sleep on straw mats at night. Although the weather is not too cold at night, I still need to prepare these things early.

The quilts are ready-made and you can take them away after paying for them.

Including the deposit for custom-made clothes, one ingot and two ounces of silver are just enough.

A time was set to get the finished product three days later. Just as Jiang Wei was about to leave with Jiang Xiaoxiao, the landlady suddenly caught up with him and stuffed some hair flowers and red strings into Jiang Xiaoxiao's hands.

"Thank you, little lady, for taking care of my business. These gadgets are not worth much. You can take them back and tie your child's hair." The landlady is also a smart person. She knew that her previous attitude was not good, so she quickly gave her something as a token of appreciation. apology.

Jiang Wei glanced at the hair flower and red rope in Jiang Xiaoxiao's arms. They were in pretty good shape, so he didn't refuse.

When the mother and daughter left the embroidery workshop, it was already noon.

There is nothing left to buy now. Jiang Wei hugged two brand-new quilts, looked around and said, "There happens to be an ox cart over there. Come on, let's go back in the ox cart."

Now the mother and daughter carry a lot of things with them. Although it is not heavy, it is still difficult to move with so many things on them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded. What she held in her arms were all the snacks she had just bought. She was already sweating after shopping for a while.

It cost one penny per person to ride in an ox cart, so Jiang Wei readily paid two pence.

Not long after we got on the ox cart, another family of four got on the cart. Jiang Xiaoxiao was counting down how much money he spent today with his fingers down, when he heard a surprised voice.

"Erya! Why are you here?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with an oval face looking at her with a frown. Next to her sat a woman in a navy blue coat and skirt with a silver hairpin on her head, who also looked at her with a look of surprise. Holding her.

"Auntie? Cousin?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned. How could he meet his uncle's family here?
  "You and your mother came to town to buy things?" Auntie Sun's eyes fell on Jiang Wei next to her, and she saw large and small bags piled up at her feet, and her backpack was also full, with a little bit of it exposed. A look of doubt.

"Erya, do you know you guys are out shopping?" Li Jinfeng frowned and looked at the snacks in Jiang Xiaoxiao's arms with a sour tone.

"First cousin, we have separated." Jiang Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, "Besides, I have changed my name now to Jiang Xiaoxiao."

As soon as she said this, a look suddenly came over her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned to meet him. It was his uncle Li Shoude, the most precious son of the old Li family.

He had been sitting next to him without saying a word since he got in the car. Now he heard about the separation and looked at the mother and daughter: "Separation? When did it happen?"

"Just two days ago." Jiang Xiaoxiao said, while looking at the uncle he had never met before.

Wearing loose robes, long hair tied high, and a white face without a beard, he does look a bit like a scholar.

If she hadn't known the plot of the original book, she would have been deceived by his appearance.

Thinking that in the original book, in order to gain fame, he almost emptied the old Li family's fortune, and even took the initiative to sell the original owner to raise money, Jiang Xiaoxiao's face couldn't help but become colder.

"Mom, I want to eat candy..." At this time, Li Jinbao, who was staying next to Sun, spoke.

He stared at the snacks in Jiang Xiaoxiao's arms, looking like he wanted to pounce on them and snatch them away.

Li Jinbao is the son of his eldest uncle Sun. He is ten years old this year and has long been spoiled to have a unruly and willful temperament.

Usually when he goes back to Lao Li's house, whenever he sees his brothers and sisters have something to eat, he will grab it. If he can't grab it, he will cry. Anyway, his grandma will help him grab it.

His father is a Tong Sheng in the village. As Tong Sheng's son, his status in Lao Li's family is much higher than that of the other brothers.

"Jinbao, good boy, let's not eat those cheap things. Grandma is waiting for us to come home and kill chickens for us to eat." Mrs. Sun glanced coldly at the things in Jiang Xiaoxiao's arms and said a few words of comfort.

Jiang Xiaoxiao listened on the side and sneered in his heart.

eat chicken?

There were a total of two chickens in Lao Li's family. One was killed by her mother, and the other went into the mouth of sister-in-law Li Xiufen. I wonder where the chickens came from to help their family take care of themselves?

However, why would this family return to the village at this time?
  In order to make it easier to attend the academy, Li Shoude and his family lived in the town. They usually did not return to the village once for several months. Why did they suddenly return to the village this time?

Could it be that there is no money?

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought about it and found the only reason.

Along the way, her mother barely spoke, but her cold look still attracted the eldest uncle's attention, "Sister-in-law, where do you live now?"

Jiang Wei didn't even look at her, looking like he was concentrating with his eyes closed.

Mrs. Sun failed to strike up a conversation, so she made a fool of herself and started talking quietly to her daughter. While talking, she glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao.
