Chapter 10 Investing in the Future

When he saw Aunt Liu away and learned that Lin Ping would not come back to live, Zhao Wanqiu hurriedly locked the door.

In her heart, she was really afraid that Lin Ping would come back suddenly.

When Zhao Wanqiu, who turned around, smelled the completely different smell of the house and felt the completely different temperature, her tears broke again.

The reason why my roommate left today was because the two did not reach an agreement on heating.

The roommate wanted the two of them to pay for a second-hand stove and then buy some coal balls. Bacteria is more expensive, but coal balls are very cheap.

When there is a stove, everyone can cook some hot water at home, or even cook at home.

But this normal proposal caused the roommate to move.

Zhao Wanqiu has not received her salary for three months, and now she has no money to buy a stove.

Originally, Zhao Wanqiu agreed to buy it, but she hoped that her roommate would pay it back to her first. As long as she paid her salary, she would immediately return it to her roommate.

But the roommate understood that Zhao Wanqiu just didn't want to pay.

In case Zhao Wanqiu suddenly refuses to rent in the future and then disappears quietly.

Who do you want to pay for the coal briquettes this winter or the cost of this stove?

The roommate chose to leave in anger, while Zhao Wanqiu could only guard the cold room alone.

How humble a woman without family, friends, lover, and money is.

However, Zhao Wanqiu didn't dare to think about it in his dreams. When he was desperate to the bottom of the valley, the room became so warm.

Zhao Wanqiu knew that this was Lin Ping's sugar-coated shell, and she wanted to refuse.

But she hadn't eaten a piece of meat for two months, and the moment she opened the bowl, she was completely confused by the fragrance of chicken.

"Why do you have to come and provoke me? Aren't you already engaged?" Zhao Wanqiu knew that once he ate this bowl of chicken, he would be really short-speakable. What should he do if Lin Ping really moved in in the future?

"Gulu, Gulu..." Smelling the fragrance, my stomach seemed to trigger a series of reactions. At this time, Zhao Wanqiu felt very hungry.

Zhao Wanqiu finally didn't eat it, so he rebuilt the bowl and put it back into the cooking pot. From the beginning to the end, Zhao Wanqiu did not open the three plates buttoned in the pot.

I can’t eat food, but Zhao Wanqiu had to sleep in the quilt bought by Lin Ping.

Because she searched the entire room without searching for her quilt.

Before going to bed, Zhao Wanqiu drank a cup of hot water.

Although she was really hungry, she turned off the light and started to rest.

Before dawn, Zhao Wanqiu woke up.

This night was the most peaceful time she had ever had to sleep these days.

Last night she saw these things on the bed, and two brand new quilts were laid underneath to base them.

There is a very smooth and warm wool blanket on it.

There are no bed sheets on the blanket, maybe there is no place to buy them at night.

However, after preparing so many things in one night, Zhao Wanqiu had to admire the deputy factory director's grandson.

After waking up, my mind was still struggling with whether to eat. However, when Zhao Wanqiu thought that Lin Ping's clothes had not been washed, she silently put on her clothes, boiled water to clean her coat and socks.

As the sun rose, Zhao Wanqiu added some coal and went out to work.

Walking on the road, Zhao Wanqiu felt that the morning was no longer so cold.

Although she didn't like it or wanted to admit it at this time, she had to thank Lin Ping for the small cotton coat she gave her.

Until noon, Zhao Wanqiu finally waited for the canteen to open a meal.

As usual, she ordered a sesame cake for 3 cents per se and a small portion of two taels of noodles for 8 cents a bowl, and she ate the only meal she had every day.

Just when Zhao Wanqiu could finally have something to eat.

For a whole morning, Lin Ping, Gu Qingshan, Qian Jin and Sun Ming were customizing suits and leather shoes. In addition, Lin Ping also asked for four more tweed coats, wearing two sets by himself, and bringing them to Zhao Wanqiu!

The four people quickly measured the data, but unlike the three people, Lin Ping took out a drawing.

"Master, can you make such a style?" Lin Ping didn't want the high-end suit as loose as a lab coat, and even the clothes could bring a whirlwind when walking. It would be more energetic and handsome to look at people in later generations.

"What does this dress look like..." The master obviously never made a tight suit.

But after all, he is an old craftsman. Although the drawings are not perfect, he can still understand the effect Lin Ping wants.

"The cufflinks in the suit should be equipped with gold thread..." Lin Ping was obviously taking the luxury route. As for the other three, they could only choose from ordinary buttons.

This is Lin Ping's first customized clothing. In this era, people seem to make clothes, and many people will buy ready-made clothes. After all, everyone has only a few styles of clothes. Instead of buying them at high prices, it is better to customize them by pulling cloth.

Eight suits, four tweed coats, eight pairs of men's winter leather shoes, two pairs of women's winter leather boots.

Because leather shoes and tweed coats are all ready-made, everyone is carrying large and small bags.

"The total is 1,223 yuan! Since you booked more at a time, we can erase the fractions for you, only 1,220 yuan." The store owner said very generously.

"..." Lin Ping first realized that the number of seconds was only single digits.

"It's so expensive to make your own clothes. If you go to the Friendship Store to buy these clothes, it's probably impossible to spend 2,000 yuan." This was the first time Qian Jin and the other two experienced what it means to spend money like water.

"This clothes are so expensive, how dare I wear them out?" Sun Ming was also a little overwhelmed. After all, he was used to work clothes. I felt a little awkward when I suddenly changed into this suit. I just tried it on the mirror for a while and felt that I couldn't walk anymore, and I didn't even know which leg to step first.

"This is 1100..." Gu Qingshan hurriedly handed over the RMB exchanged for US dollars to Lin Ping.

Lin Ping took out another 120 yuan and then received the bill.

"The clothes I have ordered are given priority, so it is best for you to work overtime. I will be an interpreter for foreign guests tomorrow morning, and this clothes need to be expedited! If possible, I will ask my friends to pick them up tomorrow morning." Lin Ping said with concern after paying the money.

"Don't come here early in the morning. If you have the patience to wait, you can make this clothes before you get off work in the afternoon." The person who said this was a master with thick glasses. After looking at the drawings, he said confidently.

Although there are very few people wearing suits in China these days, as the only suit shops in Beijing and only two customized shops, the business is booming all year round. Under a lot of repetitive labor, as long as there are enough materials, a group of old craftsmen can make four or five hours of work.

"Then please ask the masters! These shoes are also temporarily placed in the store, and we will take them away later." After that, Lin Ping collected the bills and took the three of them away.
