"Third Aunt, I'm going to make a pair of blue trousers for Rainwater. I want to ask you to help me buy a piece of cloth and make it for me. I'll give you money according to the outside craftsmanship fee. This is also called keeping the fertile water in the field, right?”
When she heard this, Third Aunt's face immediately blossomed with a smile.
They had an old sewing machine at home that Third Uncle bought from a junk collector.
The three naughty boys in their family always gave the younger one a smaller one, and the younger one picked up the younger one.
If it weren't for that broken sewing machine, she wouldn't have been able to afford the craftsmanship.
He didn't expect that he could still get a job and earn money.
Third Uncle and Third Aunt were a pair of iron abacus.
"Alright, I'll give you the money for the cloth and the cloth ticket later. But as for the cloth, you can only buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative at Zhengyang Gate!! It was three cents cheaper than the other places. Go and buy it tomorrow morning! Let me take a look at it before I use the scissors.”He Yuzhu said.
"Alright, I'll do whatever you say. If you don't work with others, you'll be exhausted to death!! I understand this logic. Hah…"
Third Aunt smiled so widely that the corners of her mouth reached her ears.
He Yuzhu laughed secretly in his heart. This was called making the best use of one's talents and everything. He really had to let Third Aunt do this.
Third Aunt went out early in the morning. He Yuzhu had given her some money and cloth tickets. Third Aunt thought about it and did not give the rest to Silly Zhu. She would treat it as her errand fee.
Besides, there were still many scraps left from a piece of fabric to make a pair of pants. At that time, he might even be able to make underpants for the third kid.
This was really a case of not waking up early without benefits. When Third Aunt arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative at Zhengyang Gate, the door had not opened yet.
She stood at the door and waited for almost half an hour before the salesperson and the director arrived.
As soon as the door opened, Third Aunt was the first to run straight to the counter selling cloth.
"Auntie, what are you buying?" Hou Yi greeted him with a smile.
"Give me 1.1 meters of blue khaki.”Third Aunt said.
"Alright." Hou Yi took out a ticket book from the counter, wrote it down with a pen, and handed it to Third Aunt.
"You can pay first. I'll help you pull the cloth when you come back."
"Alright!" Third Aunt turned around and walked towards the cashier.
Just as Third Aunt went to pay, Hou Yi pulled out a roll of cloth from the counter and swiftly shook it open.
When Third Aunt came back and handed the money to Hou Yi, Hou Yi swiftly took off the soft ruler around his neck.
He used a ruler to pull up the edge of the cloth.
"Wait, you're so arrogant that you're slanted!! Let go, let go." Third Aunt reached out and flattened the cloth roll.
What kind of person was Third Aunt? How could Hou Yi's little tricks escape her eyes?
With Hou Yi's method of measuring, he would always be at least three to five inches short after measuring one meter.
This was also another way for him to make money. He had a limit to what he could get, but the rest was his.
"Alright, Auntie, you're really good at living.”Although Hou Yi said this, he was cursing in his heart,"This old woman is really too cunning."”
After pulling the cloth, Third Aunt left in satisfaction.
At night, as soon as He Yuzhu entered the house, Third Aunt rushed out.
"Zhu Zi, I bought the fabric. I was just waiting for you to take a look. I've already size the rainwater just now. I'll start making it tomorrow.”
"Alright, let me take a look." He Yuzhu and Third Aunt went to her house.
Third Aunt opened the fabric and didn't forget to tell him how she got back a few centimeters from the salesperson.
He Yuzhu flipped through the fabric and couldn't help but say," Eh?”He shouted.
"What's wrong?" Third Aunt looked at He Yuzhu.
"Third Aunt, did you go to the supply and marketing cooperative at Zhengyang Gate that I mentioned?”He Yuzhu frowned and asked.
"Of course. I went there early in the morning. If you don't believe me, I have tickets.”
As she spoke, Third Aunt took out the receipt from her pocket and handed it to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu looked carefully and his expression changed."Third Aunt, there's no seal for this either. Isn't this a white slip?"
When Third Aunt heard that, she quickly took the receipt from He Yuzhu.
When they bought something, the salesperson would give them a receipt, but no one would look at the useless receipt. After all, there was no such thing as a seven-day refund.
Third Aunt looked at it carefully, and her expression changed.
Yes, there was only a sum of money written on the receipt. There was no small red stamp from the supply and marketing cooperative on it.
"Zhu Zi, I really bought it from there. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask tomorrow. I don't know why there's no red stamp on this little piece of paper.”
"Third Aunt, our canteen Liu Lan bought a piece of cloth like this a few days ago. I saw that the quality was good and it was cheap, so I asked you to buy it there. He Yuzhu unfurled the cloth. Indeed, there was a black Daoist on it. It was just that one wouldn't be able to tell if one didn't look carefully.”
"Ah! Isn't that so? I was too focused on the kid's size and didn't look carefully…What should I do?”Third Aunt saw that she was not doing her job well and was afraid that He Yuzhu would get angry and not let her do it.
"Don't worry. Go back tomorrow and ask them what's going on. Just change it to another piece and get a receipt with a stamp.”
He Yuzhu said generously.
"Don't worry, I'll go look for them tomorrow. That kid who sells cloth doesn't look good at all. He even wanted to take some of my size. Now he's selling me defective cloth.”
Third Aunt was an expert in this matter!
