Chapter 55, Buy a sewing machine
In the yard, Xu Chunguang looked strange: "They have all eaten meat and they are still crying. Is it because it is so delicious?"
"That's for sure, that's meat, it's very fragrant."
Wang Aidi took a sip, sucked back the milky white noodles under her nostrils, and echoed with a greedy mouth.
Jiang Yuanchao also said, "I really want to eat meat."
Several little kids eagerly ate meat, but the three sisters of the Chen family kept crying.
Chen Guohua remained silent and didn't know how to comfort them.
But Chen Xiaomin cried and threw herself into his arms for comfort.
The third child also pounced on him, but the second child was older and shy. Although he wanted to do it very much, he didn't dare to pounce on him.
After a while, the three little ones finally stopped crying.
However, at this time, the steamed buns were already a little cold.
"I'm going to heat up some steamed buns."
Touching the slightly hard steamed bun, Chen Xiaoyue laughed dumbly.
The tears on their faces were clearly visible, especially the two little ones, Xiaomei and Xiaomin. They have both become kittens.
After lunch, the four brothers and sisters were ready to go out to buy sewing machines, cloth and other items.
It just so happened that the wallet I picked up yesterday contained a sewing ticket.
After buying it back, Chen Xiaoyue can step on it, and sew and mend the tattered clothes at home.
Soon, the four brothers and sisters packed up and prepared to go out. Jiang Yuanchao, who was playing in the yard, immediately said hello.
His grandma Jiang Tangshi also laughed and asked: "Guohua, you four brothers and sisters are going out together. Do you want to do something?"
Ever since the three sisters Chen Xiaoyue arrived, they rarely left the courtyard, and their activities were limited to courtyard No. 98.
It was rare to see the three of them leaving, and Jiang Tang was also quite surprised.
"Yes, my eldest brother is taking us to buy a sewing machine."
The youngest, Chen Xiaomin, said coquettishly, and Jiang Tangshi's smile froze instantly.
Aunt Jiang just walked out of the opposite door and asked in surprise: "Guohua, your family wants to buy a sewing machine? Do you have a sewing ticket?"
Most people don't have large items like sewing machines.
This is a scarce resource.
It's not yet time for everyone to collect steel. Otherwise, sewing machines, bicycles, watches, and other industrial supplies related to iron will be even more tense.
Aunt Jiang lives in the west wing of the central courtyard, and her family is considered a dual-income family.
Her husband and son both work at the old accessory factory on Nanwei Road.
My family is considered one of the wealthier ones in the yard, but they also don’t have large items such as sewing machines or bicycles.
Almost none of the neighbors living in Courtyard No. 98 are well off.
Now, Chen Guohua and his family seem to be breaking this rule.
"Brother Chen, do you guys want to buy a sewing machine?"
From the north room, the three Hu Derong siblings also came out and asked in surprise.
Compared with Jiang Tangshi and Aunt Jiang, Hu Derong is much more pure.
"Yes, we are going to go shopping in the department store. Do you want to come with us?"
Chen Guohua smiled and extended the invitation with a sincere attitude.
Then he responded to Aunt Jiang, saying that he happened to have a ticket in his hand and would buy it back by the way.
Although their family had just moved to the city from Mentougou.
But neighbors like Jiang Tang and others also learned about Lao Chen's death from Chen Xiaoyue and the three sisters.
This matter can no longer be hidden.
Things like compensation, plus Chen Guohua's current salary, he still has the ability to buy a sewing machine.
Therefore, Chen Guohua is not afraid of these neighbors gossiping.
When the three Hu Derong siblings heard this, they immediately expressed their willingness with bright , seven people from the Chen family and the Hu family walked to the department store in a lively manner.
Jiang Yuanchao, Fang Hongming, Xu Chunguang and other little brats also followed.
After arriving at the department store, Chen Guohua and his party went straight to their destination.
Sewing machines require tickets and money to purchase.
The price is around 180, and there are several brands, including Invincible, Feiren, Panda, Bee and so on.
However, Chen Guohua glanced at it and found that almost all of these sewing machines were carved from the same mold.
Only the name of the brand is different, everything else is exactly the same.
In the era of planned economy, this was actually normal.
The department store is indeed the most complete store in Beijing.
There are so many brands of sewing machines, and Chen Xiaoyue is dazzled to choose from.
Chen Guohua took a brief look and chose the Invincible brand sewing machine.
Because this is a machine produced by Xiechang Sewing Machine Factory in Modu.
This factory has a stronger technological accumulation. Even before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the sewing machines produced by this factory have been verified by the market.
Panda and other brands of sewing machines are almost all copies of Invincible.
After making the decision, Chen Guohua gave the money and tickets, and then moved the sewing machine to the door of the department store.
Arrange Chen Xiaoyue to help keep an eye on it. After buying all the things later, they will find a cart to take them back.
Next, Chen Guohua took two little ones and bought other things.
Now that I have a sewing machine, I no longer buy ready-made clothes.
Buy the cloth directly and let Chen Xiaoyue cut it directly and sew the clothes by herself.
As for Chen Xiaoyue not knowing how to cut clothes, is this difficult? Chen Guohua definitely knows it. It is not difficult to learn.
"Wow, Brother Chen, are you still buying meat?"
In the meat buying area, Hu Derong and the others, half-grown men and children, all watched eagerly.
In particular, Chen Guohua took out a meat ticket and one yuan and bought two pounds of fat and thin hind leg meat. He wanted to put his eyes on the meat.
Too hungry! This part of the hind leg meat can be either fat or thin.
In this day and age, you can’t choose.
You can’t just buy pure fat meat, both fat and lean meat are complementary to each other.
Otherwise, if everyone keeps buying fat meat, wouldn’t there be no demand for lean meat?
Xiaomei and Xiaomin were also very greedy. They were holding half a kilogram of rapeseed oil and looked fascinated.
"Thank you!"
After thanking the meat seller, Chen Guohua took the pork and turned around and left.
Tonight, I made dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. The hind leg meat was so delicious.
Although Chen Guohua prefers to eat rice and stir-fry dishes.
But if I can eat dumplings, I still like them very much.
A group of little kids followed closely behind the three brothers and sisters of Chen Guohua and wandered around for a long time.
After finally buying all the things, he carried the things and walked to the door to join Chen Xiaoyue.
As a result, when everyone came to the door, they found that it was crowded with people.
It is the bad nature of Chinese people to watch the excitement, or in other words, it is the bad nature of human beings.
Originally, Chen Guohua wanted to avoid it, but he heard Chen Xiaoyue crying from inside the crowd.
When Dang even quit, he hurriedly pushed through the crowd and came to the center.
Sure enough, he saw Chen Xiaoyue, who was sobbing, and the aggressive woman standing opposite her.
