Chapter 51: Having a Little Home of Its Own
Reading Settings
In those days, sugar coupons and cloth coupons were hard to come by. Sugar wasn't always a necessity, but cloth was a different story. It was scarce and every household needed it. After all, who doesn't wear clothes? It was one thing to mend and patch up what you usually wore, but if your daughter was going to meet a potential partner, then new clothes were essential.
Five feet of cloth is neither a lot nor a little; in the countryside, it would definitely be considered a particularly beautiful gift.
Speaking of fabric, she has so much. The amount she acquired in Shanghai alone is enough to last her for a long time. Not to mention, in her previous life, she acquired countless fabric and clothing factories and warehouses through zero-yuan purchasing. It's probably enough to surround Zheng Gongshe, and maybe even more.
Moreover, many of the fabrics in the warehouse are vintage-style, very close to this era, and can be used with confidence. Even if the quality is a bit finer, it doesn't matter. They are made in big cities and factories with imported machines, so the products are naturally different.
Looking at it this way, it seems like it was all worth it for her to be able to get on good terms with the brigade leader's family with just a piece of cloth.
See? Although she may be the dumbest in the family, she's definitely better than her older brother at basic social skills.
She put the five-foot-long piece of floral cotton fabric that 925 had specially cut into her small handbag, took the floor plan with her, and went out the door. She locked the door with a large padlock, tied the key with a soft rope and hung it around her neck, then hid it in her coat. This was something her grandmother had taught her, and she and her older brother had always carried keys like this when they went out since they were little.
Seeing that Chao Xianhua and Sun Yuxi were still sprawled out on their bundles in their respective rooms, too tired to move, Bai Nuo didn't try to pull them along. He simply said goodbye and left the educated youth compound.
The location of the educated youth compound is not remote. It is backed by mountains and is located in the middle to the right of the brigade. It is only a half to forty minute walk from the brigade headquarters.
That sounds like a long time, but Qishui Brigade is a large village with a population of 1,500 to 1,600. There are still quite a few vacant residential plots, so you can imagine how large the area of Qishui Brigade is.
She found the way by asking a child for a piece of candy. As Bai Nuo walked along the road, she began to calculate what she should bring back from the county the next day.
Anyway, no matter what she brings, she has to get the bicycle out. Tonight, she'll have 925 assemble a 26-inch one, and tomorrow when she gets to the county, she'll go to the police station to get it stamped.
Although she has superpowers and this short distance won't tire her out, she's just lazy. Spending so much time walking doesn't seem worthwhile at all.
Thinking this, I finally arrived at the brigade leader's house. It was a small house with stone bricks and blue tiles. The layout of Bai Nuo's house was roughly like this, based on AI rendering. The dimensions were slightly modified. I roughly measured the size of my own house, and it was about right, except that the furniture might be a bit more compact than in the picture.
