Early morning on the second day, Jiang Weimin borrowed a long ladder and climbed up the roof with Zhao Xingguo to fix the house that was leaking water.
The houses in the courtyard were different from the thatched huts in the countryside. The way they were repaired was also different.
At first, Zhao Xingguo was a little confused.
Fortunately, Jiang Weimin understood. With a point of his finger, Zhao Xingguo quickly attacked.
For the entire morning, the two of them did not even have a single breath of air left in them. Not only did they help Xu Hui fix the areas that were leaking, they also renovated the other areas that had been failing to repair.
As for Zhao Xiangyun and Liu Han, they had finished what they needed to do yesterday.
Today, he would accompany Xu Hui in the yard chatting under the sun.
After Zhao Xiangyun and the others arrived, Xu Hui's sickness immediately improved by a lot.
After Zhao Xiangyun and the others left, she was also preparing to return to her unit to work. After all, she had already applied for a long leave of absence.
Zhao Xiangyun was still the one who took part in the lunch. In her hands, simple dishes became alluring and fragrant.
Furthermore, she was extremely humorous. Just by listening to her words, Xu Hui could not stop smiling.
From the bottom of his heart, he could not wait to live the life after the marriage between Zhao Xiangyun and her son Jiang Weimin.
His son was by his side, and his daughter-in-law was living in harmony with him.
But unfortunately, they were only passing by Jiangbei on this trip.
With this return, who knows when the next time would be.
Xu Hui was depressed in her heart, but on the surface she continued to pretend to not care.
He was still happy with everyone.
After lunch, Xu Hui pulled Jiang Weimin to the side and gave him 400 yuan as well as a ticket.
"Wei Min, here are four hundred yuan and some tickets. Give half to Xiangyun's big brother, Xingguo, and have him take Liu Han shopping! Take Xiangyun out of the other two hundred! If there's anything that's too expensive, or if you don't have enough money, remember to come back and tell Mom that Mom will buy it for you! " Xu Hui said.
Jiang Weimin did not stand on ceremony with Xu Hui. Once he got here, he indeed did not have any money left.
Secondly, his target rarely came to his hometown, so he wanted to give her the best.
Holding the money, Jiang Weimin found Zhao Xiangyun, Zhao Xingguo and Liu Han.
Liu Han had been to the provincial capital of Jiangbei City a few times, so she was clear about where the place was located.
Furthermore, she wanted to buy some things for her family to see, so she agreed Jiang Weimin's suggestion.
It was the two hundred dollars, and she was embarrassed to ask for it.
Zhao Xingguo was also embarrassed. He patted the fifty yuan in his pocket, "When we left the house, my mother gave me fifty yuan. It's enough!"
"But Mom didn't give you a ticket, and it's fifty yuan. If you go to the department store and buy good shoes, you can only buy a few pairs!" Zhao Xiangyun said.
Zhao Xingguo didn't know why his sister insisted him to take Jiang Weimin's money, but he really didn't have a ticket.
No matter what the people in the city buy, they will need a ticket.
Food stamps, cloth tickets, and even the most ordinary snacks required food stamps, candies, and candy bars.
Under this situation, if there was no ticket, Zhao Xingguo felt that it would be hard to take even a single step.
"Then I'll borrow your money and ticket first. I'll return it to you when I get back!" Zhao Xingguo said.
The four of them divided into two groups and went shopping separately.
Along the way, Zhao Xiangyun finally had the chance to observe the capital city of the New Capital Province.
From her observation, Zhao Xiangyun realized that this place was thousands of times better than any other city, even if it was in this poverty-stricken era.
Not only that, but the people on the streets were also in a much better mental state than those in the county.
Jiang Weimin brought Zhao Xiangyun to the department store, and for the first time saw the place where clothes were sold. Although the style was not much, it looked different from the clothes made by the tailors below.
Jiang Weimin asked about the price. A set of clothes could cost seven to eight, or even ten dollars.
The most expensive one was the one, a dress, which cost twelve or thirteen dollars, some fifteen dollars.
The only thing that was not bad was that they did not need to issue any tickets.
Jiang Weimin bought three sets of clothes for Zhao Xiangyun and unknowingly, he spent close to thirty dollars.
If it was put in Zhao Xiangyun's county, it would be equivalent to the salary of an ordinary worker for two months.
Zhao Xiangyun's heart ached, but she knew Jiang Weimin's intentions.
Ever since they arrived in this world, Zhao Xiangyun did not wear many new clothes, they were all old clothes.
The clothes that Chen Liuyue prepared for her were all for the bottom of the chest, they couldn't be worn while looking good.
He finally made a trip to Chen Liuyue's place and put on a few good clothes, but those were the old clothes that Chen Liuyue had worn when she was young.
His appearance and style were a little old.
"Big Brother Weimin, should we buy some clothes for aunt? Aunt's closet doesn't seem to have much clothes in it either! "
Jiang Weimin's mother is a more frugal person, but when Zhao Xiangyun looked at her cabinet, it was full of old clothes.
Hearing Zhao Xiangyun's words, Jiang Weimin was extremely happy.
His mother had never received a present from anyone other than his father.
Even his own sister wasn't so considerate.
"I don't know how to read. Can you help me take a look at the styles?" Should we buy some clothes, or … "
At the moment, the weather was rather cold. The people of New Capital Province had already put on their cotton-padded jackets, or thick jackets, and woolen coats.
"Do it yourself! I see that my aunt's clothes are all tailor's. " Zhao Xiangyun said.
When she helped Xu Hui clean the wardrobe, Zhao Xiangyun had observed that there were no fancy clothes in Xu Hui's closet.
And most of them were in overalls.
Zhao Xiangyun guessed that this was also related to her work.
After all, she was also the leader of a state-run factory. If she wore it too young, the people below might not believe her.
"I'll listen to you!"
Zhao Xiangyun bought some dark coloured wool for Xu Hui.
In addition, the fabric was also chosen to be black, blue and grey. This way, even if you wore it to work, you wouldn't have to worry about it.
When it came to the payment section, before Jiang Weimin could do anything, he had already taken out the money and tickets.
"I'll pay this time. I want to leave a good impression on Grandma!"
Jiang Weimin had a face full of helplessness. He had almost taken Xiangyun as his own daughter, how could he still have a bad impression?
But he had no choice, he could not refute Xiangyun's words.
They could only pull Zhao Xiangyun aside to educate her after getting the cloth and wool.
"Xiangyun, paying the bill is a man's thing to do. You just have to wait for me to pay!" Jiang Weimin said.
"But I have all your money!" Zhao Xiangyun said.
"It's yours. I can't spend your money!" Jiang Weimin said.
Zhao Xiangyun was completely convinced by this theory!
However, she was not the kind of unreasonable person. The money Jiang Weimin took out today, was probably given by his mother.
It wasn't easy for Xu Hui to earn money either. Especially since Jiang Weimin had also turned into a new year, it wasn't too good to take money from her parents.
