Chapter 45 (1/2)

It's hard to be frozen. I have to buy two big quilts. It all costs money.

Over there, Mrs. Fu, the owner's wife, finished delivering the cloth buyers. Just now, when Gu Xiaowan and his wife came in, Mrs. Fu had already seen them. One was that there were guests around, and the other was that the clothes of the two children were too shabby. They did not know whether they were just looking at them or anything else.

After delivering the customers, Mrs. Fu saw that the two children were still watching, so she quickly came over and said kindly, ”what do you want to buy, little girl?”

”Do you sell quilts here?” Gu Xiaowan asked, she is really not sure whether there are those things in this cloth shop.

”Yes ”In my shop, there are clothes, shoes, pavements and quilts,” she replied

”How much is a bed? I want two big quilts as big as the Kang at home Gu Xiaowan replied. There are a lot of people in the family, so I have to buy a big bed. But also to buy a bed cover, when the time comes, four brothers and sisters, no matter how heavy snow is not afraid of cold.

Sister Fu looked Gu Xiaowan up and down and slowly said a number: ”one or two silver!”

Sister Fu didn't look down on the two children in front of her. She just looked at the clothes of the two children. She was really afraid to speak out, which Gu Xiaowan couldn't bear.

Gu Xiaowan calculated in his mind that a bed of one or two silvers is worth two liang of silver. It is expensive, but fortunately, it can be accepted.

”Then bring me two beds.” Gu Xiaowan looks at Fu Sao and says.

Then Gu Xiaowan clearly changed her face from the first suspicion, to the consternation, the disbelief, and finally the joy in sister Fu's eyes. Gu Xiaowan was amused.

”Well, little girl, wait, and I'll get it for you. Our quilt weighs 12 Jin. Cotton is new cotton of this year. When you sleep at night, you will be warm and alive. ” As she boasted, Mrs. Fu took out two quilts from behind the counter and put them on the counter. Then she tied the cup with coarse cloth.

Gu Xiaowan picked up the two beds and bumped on her hands. She knew that sister Fu was not lying.

After putting down the quilt, Gu Xiaowan looked up at the cloth inside the counter again and asked, ”landlady, I want to make a new dress for each of my two brothers and one sister. How much cloth do you want?”

When Gu Xiaowan said it, he thought of his three brothers and sisters in his family, and he was a little bit astringent.

The four children in the family have not worn new clothes for several years.

All of them were sewn up with his own and Gu Chuanfu's old clothes when he was alive. There were traces of mending everywhere. The four children didn't even have any extra clothes to change.
