A pleasant life in a courtyard
Chapter 25 Buying Fabric
After getting the money and tickets, Li Xiang couldn't wait to rush to the department store.
Finally, we arrived at the fabric sales counter half an hour before the building closed.
There are actually quite a lot of fabric choices at this time, such as pure cotton plain cloth, pure cotton Fuchou, artificial cotton, corduroy, denim, khaki (yarn card, thread card), flannel, mulberry silk, tussah silk, yellow Tribute section, woven cotton section, woolen cloth, etc.
Just because the industrial base is backward and the industrial technology for garment dyeing is not high, the colors are mostly white, gray, black, blue, homespun, and military green.
"Li Xiang, let me tell you, don't think that being a college student means you are great. If you dare to misbehave outside, without the police coming to your door, I, as a mother, will not spare you in the first place."
But if you want to buy expensive and large items, that's a different story. After all, there are still only a few people with the purchasing power.
Even though her son was smiling playfully, she asked with a cold face: "You only have 18 yuan a month, so these fabrics are more than 18 yuan even with money. Tell me the truth, what did you do to get these fabrics?"
With a "swish" sound, the cloth was thrown to the ground by Mother Li. The eldest sister and the youngest brother were so frightened that they even breathed a little softly. They huddled there and did not dare to move, for fear of setting themselves on fire, let alone rescuing the eldest brother.

When I arrived at the gate of the compound, the smile was still on my face. I wished I could walk the distance from home in three steps.
"I'm home......"
If you are stupid enough to stand in line here to buy daily necessities, you will definitely not be able to buy anything in the end.
A group of victims looked at the unruly figure who passed by with unkind eyes.
As Li Xiang spoke, he observed Mother Li's reaction. Seeing that her expression softened slightly, he continued to add: "My money and tickets are all obtained legally. You don't have to worry about this. If you have such a small thing, you can If I can’t stand it, what should I do if there will be more in the future?”
Before the third uncle finished saying hello, he saw Li Xiang passing by like the wind, without giving him a chance to stop.
He forced a smile, pointed to the fabric on the cabinet politely, and said:
"The fabric is 4 cents per foot, and 30 feet is 12 yuan in total. Give me another 30 feet of cloth coupons."
"What happened to this kid today?" The third uncle sat there looking at his back and thinking, but he was not unhappy because of Li Xiang's neglect.
He picked up the cloth thrown on the ground, patted the dust on it, folded the scattered cloth, and explained the reason he had already thought of: "You remember that I am a college student, but have you forgotten that I am a college student?" I am only a 17-year-old college student. If I am not being self-effacing, my classmates in this class all say that I am a genius. There are many people who want to make friends with me. Your son now has a wide network of contacts in school. Who has a background in his family? I can’t even count my classmates. This is a huge number in your eyes, but in my eyes, these are just the beginning of a drop in the bucket.”
"I brought something back again. Didn't I tell you not to spend money randomly?"
Li Xiang grinned and said, "Mom, we'll eat later. Take a look at what's in my bag."
Li Xiang, who was scolded by Mother Li, looked dumbfounded. He just bought a few feet of cloth, but Mother Li escalated it into a crime.
Except for his habit of taking advantage of others, the third uncle is quite reasonable in other aspects. He is not a narrow-minded person.
"Ouch, someone stepped on my foot."
The money notes had been prepared a long time ago and were placed alone in a pocket. Li Xiang quickly took them out and handed them over.
After the salesperson counted the money and made an order, he pointed with his finger and told Li to wait at the counter next to him, so as not to stand here and get in the way.
He didn't bother to find reasons to cover up again, so he simply said it all at once and let Mother Li get ready.
Occasionally, there are red and yellow ones, but the materials are relatively small and rarely bought by ordinary people.
"Comrade, please pull the blue fabric for 20 feet and the military green fabric for 10 feet."
Even with this reminder, there are still many customers who have not bought anything and are unwilling to leave.
"Give way, please give way."
Li Xiang's dissatisfaction was suppressed after he noticed the slogan on the wall, "Guests are like relatives, stay away from violence."
"I'm asking you where did you get the money and where did you get the coupons?"
Li thought it was easier to get in than to get out holding the cloth.
When Li Xiang entered the house, the family had already prepared a meal and was waiting.
Li Xiang had already thought about what color to buy before he came.
She said with concern: "Why did you come back so late this time? Go wash your hands and eat. The food is cold and is waiting for you."
After a while, the crowd dispersed, and Li Xiang, who was trapped in the crowd, was freed.
The salespeople are not used to these people. They put away the goods on the counter one by one. No matter what other people say, they don't stop. They pretend they haven't heard anything. They don't want to delay me. The look of getting off work.
Seeing her son come back, Li's mother looked concerned and took Li Xiang's schoolbag.
Li Xiang replied with a smile: "Of course I bought it, where else could it come from."
Mother Li was mumbling, and when she reached into her bag, her eyes were filled with surprise.
Li Xiang was in high spirits all the way home. Apart from food, this was the first time he spent so much money buying things for his family. He was naturally excited and walked on tiptoes.
Mother Li shook off the fabric and estimated the length, which was almost ten meters.
For Li Xiang, today is just the beginning of moving things home.
Amidst the complaints, Li Xiang struggled to walk through the crowded crowd. Before he could stand firmly on his feet or even take a breath, he could feel the urging in the salesperson's eyes.
After the salesperson handed the cut fabric to Li Xiang, he started shouting at the top of his lungs: "It's time, everyone, please leave and come back tomorrow."
He touched his nose and explained helplessly: "Mom, can you stop being so impatient and not even giving me a chance to explain? Am I such a bastard in your eyes? Do I have to go to the hospital for this little fabric?" Just steal, smash, kill and let go.”
When she took out two bundles of fabrics from her bag, her first reaction was not to be happy, but to frown and ask, "Where did they come from?"
When everyone saw what the salesmen were doing, although they were angry, they had nothing to do with them and could only leave in annoyance.
"Slow down, your elbow almost hit me in the face."
Even though she is strong as a mother, her love and responsibility are deep.
But Mother Li's attitude just now really hurt his heart.
It was like a splash of cold water poured on his head.
