Chapter 153 Going to buy some things I like (2/2)

Lin Han felt like she was being bathed in honey.

Why didn't Gu Qizheng give Lin Han money when they went shopping?

Because Gu Qizheng's entire paycheck was with Lin Han, Lin Han would collect his monthly salary from the finance department and then give Gu Qizheng pocket money.

Therefore, Gu Qizheng had no secret stash of money to draw from, even if he wanted to.

Gu Qizheng first took Lin Han to the department store and bought everything on Grandma Jiang's list.

Some items need to be purchased from supply and marketing cooperatives and markets, so they will need to make a special trip there later.

Lin Han looked around and didn't really need anything. Fangfang would go to the big supermarket every few days to buy things and send them to her. Her 500-square-meter storage space was almost overflowing.

However, some things can only be used secretly by oneself in one's own space; it would be impossible to explain them if taken out.

She thought that the solid wood sofa in Grandpa Gu's house was a bit hard to sit on. She didn't feel anything when she sat on it normally, but now that she was getting pregnant, she liked to lean back when she sat on it. The solid wood sofa was uncomfortable everywhere, unlike the soft cloud sofa in the room.

Lin Han plans to buy some cotton and cloth to sew a few cushions so that she will be more comfortable sitting up in the late stages of her pregnancy.

That's a good opportunity to make a few more throw pillows so I can lean against them when I'm reading at night.

"Honey, I want to buy cotton fabric and cotton. Will you come with me?"

Gu Qizheng readily agreed, without even asking Lin Han what she intended to do with the things she bought.

"Okay, the cotton fabric shop should be on the second floor."

After buying the items on Grandma Jiang's list, the two went up to the second floor.

Cotton feels much more comfortable than Dacron, but people of this era prefer Dacron. Perhaps newer things are more sought after. Almost all the ready-made clothes sold in department stores are made of Dacron and synthetic fibers, which Lin Han doesn't really like.

Moreover, Dacron fabric is much more expensive than cotton fabric.

Ordinary white cotton fabric costs 0.25 yuan per foot, printed cotton fabric (often used as bed sheets) costs 0.5 yuan per foot, but ordinary Dacron costs as much as 0.8 yuan per foot, and high-end printed and dyed Dacron can even cost as much as 1.5 yuan per foot.

Although cotton cloth was inexpensive, it mainly relied on domestically produced cotton, and the output was not high. Usually, one foot of cloth required one foot of ration coupons.

However, since Dacron is a chemical product with high production volume, and the consumption of chemical fibers is encouraged, a policy of reducing or exempting cloth ration coupons was implemented, generally requiring only 0.5 feet of cloth ration coupons per foot.

People who are fashion-conscious or lack fabric coupons are more inclined to buy brightly colored Dacron fabric.

However, Lin Han felt that cotton cloth was better.

Moreover, the cloth coupons that Grandma Jiang gave her before she left home were enough, and she chose the cheapest ordinary white cotton cloth as her first choice.

Lin Han thought the printed cotton fabric was okay for bed sheets, but it would be too tacky to use it for throw pillows.

She bought white cotton fabric so she could tie-dye it in her favorite style, which would be both natural and beautiful.

"Hello, I would like 15 feet of white cotton cloth."

Since she's making cushions, she plans to make more after she learns to use a sewing machine, so she can make some for her family.

Especially for people like Grandma Jiang who have back problems, using a cushion while sitting on the sofa makes them much more comfortable.

Grandpa Gu likes to read before going to bed, and he particularly likes a soft cushion to lean on by his bedside.

The sales clerk measured 15 feet of white cloth as Lin Han requested, tied it with a rope, and handed it to Gu Qizheng.

Gu Qizheng took the cloth, Lin Han paid the bill, and the two of them left the department store with bags and packages.
