In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 260: Generous Huaixi

"There are candies in Second Aunt's drawer. I want some candies." Huaixi said, looking at the steamed cake that he had already eaten half of.

Planning to go back.

Walk out slowly.

I saw Jiang Wen coming out of the cafeteria, waiting for his second uncle, and going back together.

Everyone who went back to see Gu Lixia's office had arrived.

I didn't show off anymore and just put the enamel pot away.

Pulling Gu Lixia's hand, "I want to eat candy."

Gu Lixia gave him an orange candy.

Focus on reading the newspaper.

Soon, the sharp-eyed Zhang Jing noticed the shoes on Jiang Huaixi's feet, "Huaixi, come here, let me take a look at your shoes."

After seeing and touching them, Zhang Jing was envious. "Lixia, where did you buy the shoes on your Huaixi feet? How much did you pay? Do you still have them?"

Gu Lixia made up a story. "I didn't buy Huaixi plastic sandals last year, and he's a year older this year. I can't keep envying other people's shoes. So I asked someone to make them for me. 10 yuan a pair. Even the buttons on his pair were sewn by us ourselves. It's the craftsmanship of mountain people."

"I thought a pair of free sandals from the supply and marketing cooperative would cost 6 yuan. If I added a little more, I could get better quality ones. So I ordered them."

Aunt Shen also saw Gu Lixia's shoes. "I'm afraid you ordered more than one pair. I guess each of your family got a pair. Jiang Wen has already worn them."

Gu Lixia explained, "His was already made, ready-made. Ours is different, we pay them to make it for us."

Zhang Jing was excited. She could do it. "Well, you help me. Make 6 pairs for a child as old as Huaibei. Make 3 pairs for someone 234 years older than Huaibei. Make 10 pairs for someone with feet similar to yours. Make 10 pairs for someone like Jiang Wen. I'll give you a bag of brown sugar."

Aunt Shen also said, "Order a pair for me too, and I'll give you a bag of brown sugar."

Cui Min and Wang Ling also became interested.

Everyone has money, so manage your own money.

Cui Min was the first to say, "I have one pair, and each of our children has one pair, four pairs. His father, his grandfather, and my father each have a pair. Our children are 5, 7, 9, and 11 years old. Let's make them a little older. His father, my father, and his grandfather are taller than you, Lixia."

Wang Ling also planned to do it for her own family, with the addition of her mother-in-law.

Wang Ling has no father-in-law, and lives with her mother's family just like she does with her parents.

"My children are about the same age, 6, 8, 10, and 12. My husband is also slightly taller than you, and my mother-in-law is about the same age as me."

Gu Lixia wouldn't do such a thing. "We need specific measurements. I can help order them, but it won't be that fast. It's only Monday, and I can tell you when they'll be ready. There's only one shoemaker here. And the children's ones are 10 yuan, while Xiu'er's is the same price as ours, 15."

Zhang Jing quickly said, "Okay, go back and measure it at noon, and I'll come over this afternoon to give you a note."

Just measure it and everyone will feel at ease.

Aunt Shen was the first to react. "My foot is 22.5cm. Money and brown sugar will be in the afternoon."

A pair of shoes costs half a month's salary, which is too expensive.

Wang Ling hesitated.

Let’s just forget about it, kids.

Zhang Jing wanted to put them on soon. "I'll sort them out first. Six pairs of 20cm, six pairs of 22cm, and six pairs of 24cm. These are for the children. Then for the women, five pairs each of 22cm and 23cm. Five pairs each of 26cm and 27cm for the men. 3X6=18, 180, 20X15=300."

"Our annual salary isn't even that much. That's all. One bag of brown sugar is a little short, so I'll give you an extra bag of milk powder. It's only June now, anyway. There's still July, August, and September. No problem. They'll definitely work overtime. Wait a week. If it's delivered on Sunday, go to the yard behind the government office and call me."

After Zhang Jing did the math, Wang Ling also decided to make the adult one. "My husband made a 26cm one, and my mother-in-law and I made a 22cm one. We won't make the child one. It's 45 yuan."

Cui Min decided to make it anyway. "I'll make 22cm, my husband, father-in-law, and my dad will all make 26cm, and the children will make two pairs each of 22cm and 24cm. 100, not too much."

Gu Lixia knew the system could hear her, so she ignored it and just wrote it out for everyone to confirm. Then she said, "When I pass the message to someone, I need to confirm that I will give the money directly to them. I trust you this time. Aunt Shen, please give me a ride after get off work this afternoon. I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative."

"No problem." Aunt Shen was very straightforward.

Gu Lixia arranged the system and bought two more pairs of 22cm women's shoes for the two friends at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Then I also got a pair from Uncle Liu at the tractor factory.

Jiang Wen plans to learn how to repair tractors in the fall.

A steady stream of water never ceases to flow.

Give Gu Liqiu a pair as well.

For Liu Xiaocao, a good daughter is one who loves her son.

There has been no news for such a long time. I wonder if Gu Liqiu’s girlfriend has broken up. I’ll go and ask about the situation in the afternoon.

I also prepared a pair of 22cm shoes for my future sister-in-law.

Soon, I go home from get off work.

Jiang Xiu made braised noodles.

After eating, take a lunch break.

In the afternoon, he continued to carry the thermos to work. As soon as he got to work, Gu Lixia collected a wave of money, 480+45+100+15=640.

This is much better than going to work.

The others each received a bag of brown sugar, and Zhang Jing received an extra bag of milk powder.

After get off work, Gu Lixia asked Jiang Wen to take it back.

I carried the basket to the supply and marketing cooperative and found both of them there.

He Jiaojiao said she was going to the toilet and came out first. Gu Lixia opened the basket.

He Jiaojiao hesitated. "Are these pairs enough? If I buy them, there will be too many people: my parents-in-law, my husband and I, my uncle, my sisters-in-law, my children's uncles. My parents, my brother and his wife, my sister and her husband, my brother and his wife, my sister and her husband, my younger brother and his wife, and my younger sister and her husband."

"A pair for adults is 15 yuan, and a pair for children is 10 yuan. I like them, so I asked you. I'm an old shoemaker, and I make cowhide shoes." Gu Lixia also knew that this was how women were after they got married.

He Jiaojiao thought about it and said, "It's not a big deal. How about this, you come over tomorrow and I'll think about it. As for Xiaoxia, I'll tell you."

He Jiaojiao went in, and Gu Lixia left the yard of the supply and marketing cooperative, turned right, and went to the People's Hotel.

Tell the aunt who collects money that she is looking for Gu Liqiu.

Soon, Gu Liqiu came out.

I saw it was Gu Lixia.

He pulled Gu Lixia into the backyard and whispered, "The house. My eldest brother took the old courtyard, the four cave dwellings. This year, Mom cultivated all the land herself. I went to look for my uncles as soon as I started working. In the end, the contract was signed. Now it's time to pay. The money is gone. Mom said it was always there."

"My eldest sister-in-law said she also lost money. Mom asked her to send her back, but she refused. Dad paid 150 for each room, but he paid 30 less for the kitchen. 330. Then they renovated the kitchen and added a stove to each of the two rooms."
