Chapter 24 Buying Clothes

I have money...

"Sanya, did we really earn more than 500 copper coins?"

After leaving the restaurant, Mei Daya is still in a daze. She doesn't know how her sister has earned more than 500 copper coins with just a few words, and she has also made a big deal.

"Of course, didn't you see the shopkeeper give it to you just now?"

"I'm not... I can't believe it, I have never seen so many copper coins in my life."

"Elder Sister, it's just that and that. When we separate, we will definitely make more money."

Mei Luomei followed Mei Daya to Xiuzhuang while drawing big cakes for her, hoping to gain solid support inside.

After the two came to the embroidery village, Melo Mei stood and looked around, while Mei Daya went to hand in her purse and get the materials.

"Sister, how much money do you earn?"

Seeing the boss taking the money, Melomei hurried over to take a look, but found that it was pitifully little.

She saw her sister take out six purses.

"Twelve copper coins, hand over ten to grandma, and buy a piece of cane sugar for our Sanya."

Mei Daya took the copper plate and put it in her arms, touched Melomei's head, "Let's go, my sister will take you to buy candy."

"Sister, all the money you earned before was bought for me, and you didn't keep any of it?"

Looking at this honest sister, Melomei felt incredible.

"What do you mean, my sister usually has to work, so how can I have extra time to embroider? Generally, I can only embroider six or seven in a month, and it costs more than ten yuan if I sell it. Fortunately, grandma only takes ten coins to hand in each time. , if you’re like dad, you won’t have any money left.”

Every time there is a few pennies left, Mei Daya looks very proud, which makes Melomei very speechless.

Sister, you worked so hard on it yourself, but in the end you didn't even get one-tenth of it!

"Sister, don't you want to stay?"

"What are you thinking? If I don't hand it in, grandma won't let us go out next time. You know that every time we go to the street, it will take a lot of time."

I usually walk alone by myself, and it takes a day to come and go!

Melome "..." I'm superficial!

"Let's go, where do you want to go? My sister will take you there."

Clutching the copper coins in her bosom, Mei Daya was in a good mood.

Finally going to take her shopping!
Melomei sighed in her heart, and said excitedly: "I want to buy new clothes."

Aunt Mei "..."

Mei Daya didn't want to go at first, but she couldn't stand her sister's entanglement, so she finally took her to a cloth shop.

"Sister, are you kidding me? What I want to buy are clothes, not cloth."

Looking at the colorful cloth, Melomei wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Yes, let's buy cloth and make it at home. The cloth is cheaper, and the ready-made clothes are too expensive."

Melo May: "If I quit, I will buy ready-to-wear."

Mei Daya: "Sanya, be obedient."

"No, big sister, I have money. I want to buy ready-made clothes. If I buy cloth, I have to sew it myself when I go home. I have to work during the day, but I don't have a light at night. Besides, grandma and the others are still watching us. It will be exposed when the time comes. Listen. My, let’s buy ready-made clothes, wear them inside, and wear the original rotten clothes outside, so it’s safer.”

Seems to make sense!

Mei Daya was finally persuaded by Mei Luomei and took her to the tailor shop.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy some clothes. Do you have children's clothes for sale here?"

When Melomei saw the clothing store, she immediately walked like flying, and rushed into the clothing store with a snort.

New clothes door, here I come!

"Oh, kid from there, don't delay my business."

The shopkeeper had just sent away a group of customers, and when he turned his head and saw a weird child standing behind him, he was startled, and reacted quickly to chase him away.

Such a monster, wouldn't staying here affect his business!

"Boss, I want to buy clothes."

Melomei took out a five taels of silver and slapped it on the counter, lamenting that it feels so good to be rich.

"Okay, okay, little girl, you are right to come here, in the whole Shuanghe Town, but only our family sells children's clothes and pants."

The store manager went behind the counter and brought out a big bag, opened it, "Come and have a look, see if you like it."

"Why are they all pitch black, and there are no other colors?"

Melomei flipped through it a few times, and found that they were all in dark colors—no one she liked.

"Little girl, this color is dirt-resistant, parents don't worry."

Melome "..." What does she have to do with her parents when she buys her clothes?
Seeing that Melomei didn't like it, the shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "I sewed a suit for my daughter a few days ago, do you want to see it?"

Children's clothes are not easy to sell. Generally, children use their parents' old clothes to make them smaller, or the second child wears the older one.So in the town, there is not much market for children's clothes.

"Okay, you can bring it here and let me have a look."

"Sister, she has quite a lot of clothes here, so you can choose two sets too. Shopkeeper Sun gave some deposits today, let's buy two sets of clothes alone."

When the shopkeeper went to pick up the clothes, Melomei called her sister who was standing motionless to the side to come and see. She hadn't seen anyone from the second room buy new clothes in the past few years.

"I have something to wear, so I won't buy it. You haven't worn new clothes yet, so just buy two sets. We'll take the deposit back to collect mushrooms. You can use the five hundred wen you earned today."

Mei Daya looked up at the clothes on the wall, then quickly lowered her head.

"No, the money we three sisters earned together, we buy together, you pick two sets, and pick two sets for the second sister, as for the parents... don't buy it for now, otherwise our money will not be easy to explain."

Melo Mei quickly made a decision, and Aunt Mei opened her mouth to say something, when the shopkeeper had already brought out the clothes.

"Little girl, look, is this dress okay?"

The shop owner shook off the clothes in his hand for Melomei to watch.

Melome looked at it, then reached out to touch it.

The muslin is really soft, but the color, um, how should I put it, is still gray, it’s really hard to describe it!
Never mind, let's buy some clothes to wear first, otherwise, if you wear this big patch, you will often be treated as a beggar and it will not be easy to mix up. Let's go to the county to see it later!

"Let's make do with it, how much is it?"

"This is made for my daughter. The material is made of fine cotton, which absorbs sweat, and the needles and threads are all stitched and mended by myself, so it is a bit expensive. It costs 380 Wen."

"380 liters?" Mei Daya opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Sanya, let's buy some cloth, and when I buy the cloth, my sister will sew it for you."

"You don't have to, big sister. You are lucky. If you stay up all night in the dark to sew clothes for me, your eyes will be broken."

Melomei didn't expect the clothes to be so expensive, but she thought that she was rich and the price was within her own range, so she happily accepted it.

"Help me wrap it up!"

Turning around to look at the pile that the shopkeeper had just brought out, he went over and randomly picked two sets, "Wrap these two sets for me too."

"Okay, I'll pack it right away."

The shopkeeper saw that he really wanted to buy it, and immediately folded the three sets of clothes neatly and wrapped them up happily.

 Ask for a ticket, no matter what kind of ticket you want.
