Chapter 79 Buying a Sewing Machine for My Aunt

The next morning, before the sun rose, Tang Hua was immersed in a sweet dream. Suddenly, she felt someone gently shaking her body and heard a gentle voice: "Huabao, wake up and take grandpa into the space. Grandpa has already cooked breakfast in the kitchen. You will go to your great aunt's house for lunch today. Grandpa will stay in the space." Tang Hua reluctantly opened her eyes, nodded vaguely, and then effortlessly put grandpa into the space. She turned over, fell back into the warm bed, and continued to sleep.

Tang Hua slept until after ten in the morning when she slowly woke up. She put on her clothes, walked into the kitchen, and found that the breakfast prepared by her grandfather had become cold. However, she did not intend to reheat the food. Instead, she took the breakfast and went straight to her aunt's house next door.

As soon as she stepped into her aunt's house, Tang Hua shouted loudly: "Aunt! Is my aunt at home? Huabao is hungry!" Her lively and lovely appearance made people love her.

"Oh, why is our Huabao here to see grandma today? Come in, come in." Grandma greeted Tang Hua warmly.

Tang Hua put the breakfast on the table, "Aunt, my grandfather cooked breakfast this morning, but I overslept and it's cold."

"Come here, kid, let your aunt heat up breakfast for you," said the aunt with a smile.

"Hehe, auntie is the best. You have heated up everything. Grandpa can cook more and we can eat together." Tang Hua scratched his head.

The aunt pulled Tang Hua to sit down, and then gave her an egg and said, "Eat it first, and I'll make you something delicious later."

Tang Hua ate eggs while chatting with her aunt. She also told her aunt that there was no need to heat up the breakfast. She would just make an egg first and they would eat together at noon.

Before they knew it, it was lunch time. "Huabao, come and try the braised pork made by my aunt." The eldest aunt came out of the kitchen with a plate of delicious braised pork. Tang Hua couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth. "Mm, it's delicious! My aunt's cooking skills are getting better and better!"

Tang Hua enjoyed her lunch with relish, while her aunt and eldest aunt looked at her with smiles, and their eyes were full of love as they picked up food for her.

"Huabao, do you have any plans for the afternoon?" asked the aunt.

"I want to go for a stroll in the town. Aunt, let's go together. Last month, my elder brother said he would come back this month, but it's already the end of the month and he still hasn't come back. He must be too busy and hasn't had any rest. Alas, I don't even know when I can go to the county town. But it wouldn't be bad to go for a stroll in the town," Tang Hua replied.

"Okay, auntie and your aunt will go for a stroll in the town together," Gu Qianrou said after picking up some food for her.

After dinner, Tang Hua went back, carried his own small backpack, and went next door to find his great aunt and aunt. Then he went to the village entrance and took a ox cart to the town. The town was very lively with people coming and going. As soon as they arrived in the town, they rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative. In fact, there was nothing good about the supply and marketing cooperatives in that era. Not to mention whether they were expensive or not, the main thing was that it was difficult to get tickets.

After walking around, Tang Hua saw a sewing machine, and then she remembered that every year at this time, her aunt and her eldest aunt would use needle and thread to mend things. She had tickets and money, so she said to her aunt, "Aunt, you guys take a look around. I'm going to talk to my sister who works at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Gu Qianrou thought that she still had things to buy, so she said, "Huabao, don't run around, just wait for us here."

"Okay," he said, and then he went to the teller next to the sewing machine and asked, "Sister, how much is this sewing machine?"

The teller looked up and saw that it was a little girl. She was so cute. He looked around her and found that there was no adult around her, so he asked, "Little girl, where are your family members? I am almost 230 years old, you should call me auntie. This sewing machine costs an additional yuan."

Tang Hua thought it was quite expensive for people nowadays, after all, the average monthly salary for office workers is only 20 to 30 yuan. Then she said, "You look so young, you must call me sister. Sister, I bought that sewing machine. Can you deliver it to me?" The cashier smiled like a chrysanthemum when she heard it. This little girl is really good at talking. "It can be delivered. Can you decide whether to buy it or not?"

Tang Hua nodded, took a piece of paper and wrote down the address of her aunt's home and handed it to her. Then she gave the ticket and money. The teller actively gave her the bill and told her when it would be delivered. After thanking her, Tang Hua went to her aunt and watched them pick out some daily necessities.

Seeing that they were not walking so fast, she said something and went to the second floor. The second floor mainly sold high-end items, such as ready-made clothes and shoes, as well as some watches, pens, and other items. She walked along and bought three pairs of shoes, one for her great-grandfather, one for her aunt, and one for her uncle. She put the shoes into her backpack after buying them. In fact, there was a lot of space for them, but she still bought a few pairs just to make it look like she was doing something, after all, she was not short of money at all.

After going downstairs, my aunt and her friends had finished their shopping. A few of them went to buy some cakes and left the supply and marketing cooperative. The scrap yard of Tang Hua at that time was also a treasure land. Then I said to my aunt, "Aunt, I want to go to the scrap yard to find some picture books to read."

"Then let's go, the scrap yard is right next to us." The aunt said as she took the two of them to the scrap yard. An old man was guarding the door. She took out some White Rabbit candies and said, "Grandpa, I want to go in and find some comic books, can I?"

Uncle Lin, who was guarding the gate, looked at them and said, "Go in, don't take anything you shouldn't take."

After they entered, Tang Hua called the system to scan the entire scrapyard. Sure enough, the system beeped here and there. Tang Hua was so excited that she ran to a pile of newspapers and said, "Aunt, aunt, you can take a look. I'll look for some and come back to you later."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at her running and shouted, "Huabao, be careful. Come out as soon as you find it. You have to go back early later." Tang Hua responded and looked around. There was no one around, so she collected things here and there, and put all the items that the system scanned into the space. It was an hour later when she came out with a pile of picture books. The gatekeeper flipped through the books and found nothing wrong, so he took the two yuan.

Tang Hua happily left the scrap station with her great aunt and aunt. After returning home, Tang Hua did not go home, but waited at her aunt's place for the people from the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver the sewing machine. She then read the picture book she had just found at the scrap station in the yard.

Around five in the afternoon, there was a knock on the door. Tang Hua raised her head from her book and ran to open the door. Seeing that it was someone who came to deliver a sewing machine, she hurriedly said, "Uncle, this sewing machine belongs to this family. Please bring it down."

As he said that, he took out the ticket and showed it to him. The delivery man checked the ticket and confirmed it before moving the sewing machine into the yard. After the people left, the aunts who followed him curiously came into the yard and walked around the sewing machine for a few circles, saying with envy, "Huabao, is this the sewing machine your aunt bought?" "Yes, did you go to town to buy a sewing machine this afternoon?"

At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard the sound and walked out quickly from the backyard. Seeing a group of people surrounding Tang Hua, they thought something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "What are you old ladies doing?"

The village head's wife was also among them. She looked at the people coming out of the backyard and said, "Girl, it's OK. You've even bought a sewing machine."

Gu Qianrou was puzzled and asked, "What sewing machine?" She came over and found that they were circling around the sewing machine. Then she looked at Huabao and asked, "Huabao, who sent this? I didn't buy it."

Tang Hua patted her chest and said, "I bought this for you, aunt. I received this in the package that grandpa sent me a while ago. I thought that you and your aunt had to sew clothes one stitch at a time, but now you can use the sewing machine to make clothes. By the way, I bought a pair of shoes for you and your aunt at the supply and marketing cooperative this afternoon. My grandpa also sent clothes to you, your uncle, and your aunt in the package last time. I will go back and get them for you later."

Gu Qianrou and Liu Chunxing were so moved that they almost shed tears. This made the aunts and grandmothers in the village extremely envious. They wanted to take the baby home to raise it. Then they all started praising Huabao. They said that in the past, when Old Gu had nothing to do, so he wanted to adopt a girl, and they were just as envious now as they were then. They were all feeling jealous.

Liu Chunxing touched the sewing machine and said, "Huabao, how much is this? Auntie will give you the money." Then she wanted to go to the room, but Tang Hua hurriedly stopped her and said, "Auntie, I have money. This is my gift to you and aunt. You can't give money, otherwise Huabao will be unhappy."

Gu Qianrou said, "Old man, let the second son and his family save more cloth coupons so that we can make more clothes for Huabao."

Liu Chunxing nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Tang Hua also nodded, thinking that this was a good idea. She could take out some nice-looking cloth from the space and draw some children's clothes for her aunt. Then, when she put them on, she would be the most beautiful girl in the village.
