Chapter 421 I don’t want my family to live so hard

"Wow! Wow wow wow! So many toys!"

"It looks so fun! Sister, are you buying these for me and my brothers?"

Qiao Xing Qiao Yue jumped for joy.

At this time, everyone working outside came back to eat, and Qiao Nan and Qiao Xi, who went to school, also came back from school to have lunch.

Several children gathered around Qiao Ran, watching her conjuring a lot of fresh toys like magic. Even Qiao Nan, who was already half a boy, couldn't help but show excitement.

As a child from a poor farmer's family, he played with stones and branches picked up from everywhere, or simple wooden horses, bamboo whistles and other toys that the elders in the family occasionally made from wood or bamboo.

All the copper at home is reserved for necessities such as oil, salt, needlework, and thread. How can there be any spare money to buy toys for the children?

And now, the eldest sister bought them a lot of these toys that only the rich can afford. How could they not be happy?

Looking at these happy and excited little faces, Qiao Ran nodded with a smile: "Of course I bought them for you! These are for Xing'er and Yue'er, these are for the southeast and northwest, these are paper kites, everyone can play with them, When the weather gets better and there's a little wind in the sky, you can go outside and put the kites on the open space."

Qiao Ran divided the toys and ensured that everyone had something. She also told them that if they want to play with more toys, they must learn to share. If you give your toys to others, you can also play with other people's toys. This way everyone can play with a variety of different toys.

Several younger siblings nodded: "Don't worry, eldest sister, we won't monopolize these toys. We can all play together, so we can have more fun."

"Well, you're right. It's more fun to play together, but it's boring to play alone. Then you can decide how to play!"

Qiao Ran didn't care about them anymore. Anyway, these children were well taught by their grandmother, mother, uncles and aunts.

Even Xiaonan and Xiaoxi, although they have such a wonderful mother, they usually listen to their grandma and are taught well by their grandma, so they don't grow crooked.

In addition to toys, there are of course new clothes.

Qiao Ran bought two sets of new clothes for everyone in the family.

When I came here after escaping from the wilderness, I had to buy a lot of things again, including clothes.

Although Housekeeper Zhou and the others had sent a lot of fabrics some time ago, my mother, grandmother, third aunt, and Mrs. Qin would all make clothes for everyone when they had free time.

However, they have been busy with farm work, cooking, laundry and other household chores during this time, and they do not have much free time to make clothes.

Therefore, only one set of clothes was made for these children, and the second uncle and the others were still wearing the few patched old clothes.

Although she didn't need to dress well when working every day, Qiao Ran just didn't want her family to have such a hard time.

There were no good clothes before, but now everyone is allowed to wear them.

In the past, all clothes worn were linen, cotton, linen, or rough homespun clothes, which were rough and did not absorb sweat and keep warm.

Now Qiao Ran buys soft pure cotton muslin for everyone, which is close-fitting, warm, and very comfortable.

Everyone held their new clothes in their hands, and the little ones screamed and jumped with excitement, as if they had received new clothes during the New Year. They wished they could put on the new clothes immediately and go out to show off to their friends.

The adult, on the other hand, gently rubbed the soft fabric with his rough hands, fearing that the calluses on his hands would scratch such a fine piece of clothing.

"Ran Ran, don't such good clothes cost a lot of money? We farmers have to work in the fields every day, so we don't have time to wear such expensive clothes!"

Qiao Sanhu felt that the clothes were a waste. He had to work every day and had no chance to wear them.

Qiao Erhe also thought so: "Yes, I have to put these two sets of clothes away carefully and wear them again when my mother celebrates her birthday and Nan'er gets married and has a baby."

Lin Guizhen held such soft cotton clothes that she had never worn before. She didn't even dare to touch them with her calloused hands. She only held them carefully in her hands and said:

"Ran Ran, the material of this dress is so good. Third aunt has never worn such expensive material before and has never had the chance to wear it. Otherwise, you can take it back to the city and see if you can return it! Or give it to you, your mother and brother Let them change into some good clothes. Your status is different now. The clothes you wear in the future must be of good material. Your third uncle and I don't need such good clothes. As for Xing'er and Yue'er, I will collect them for them. Now, I would also like to thank you as my eldest sister for them. You will remember them no matter what good things you have. They are lucky to have such a good eldest sister like you."

With that said, she held the clothes in both hands and handed them to Qiao Ran, asking her to put them away and take them back to the city to exchange them another day.

Qiao Ran looked at her uncles and aunts dumbfounded:

"Second uncle, third uncle, and third aunt, why are you so polite to me? I am your niece. Isn't it right for nieces to buy gifts to honor their elders? Don't worry about money. These cotton clothes I bought are the most ordinary ones. , not expensive. These clothes are also very suitable for us to wear when doing farm work, so just wear them!"

"Actually, I should have bought you some new clothes. It's just that I was in a hurry when I went to the city a few times before and didn't have time to buy clothes for you. This time, I stayed at my grandma's house for a few days and had time to go. Only when I go shopping can I choose these suitable clothes for everyone.”

"We didn't bring many clothes with us when we were escaping from the wilderness. It was hot when we set off. In order to lighten the burden, we only brought two or three sets of thin summer and early autumn clothes. This winter, we still relied on the skins of wild animals that we hunted. I can get through it with sewn clothes. But this spring is warm and cool at first, so I still have to wear this kind of spring shirt that is neither thin nor thick."

"As for the money spent, you don't have to worry about it. Don't you still believe me? I said I would bring everyone together to make money and get rich, and it will definitely happen soon. It's spring now, wait until the summer harvest By then, the first batch of grains, fruits and vegetables we have grown can be sold for money.”

"And there are many wild products that can be sold in this vast mountain. I will also take you to collect wild products and sell them for money. In summer, you can use the money you earn to buy comfortable and wearable cotton clothes. ! By then, you will no longer think that such materials are so rare."

Qiao Ran's words made Qiao Erhe and the other three look at each other in shock.

Naturally, they had no doubt that Qiao Ran said he could make a lot of money with them.

But if they don't care about such good clothing materials, they don't believe it.

No matter when it comes, such fine clothing materials are rare for them!

Just when they didn't know what to say, Mrs. Qiao, who also received two sets of clothes made of good materials, spoke:

"This is Ranran's filial piety, just accept it! It's not like you don't know Ranran's temperament. How can you recycle the things she gives away? You guys, just remember her kindness and treat her twice as much in the future. That’s fine.”

The three of them stopped worrying and put their clothes away carefully.

Qiao Ran distributed new clothes to her family and found that there were still several sets of clothes.

She turned around and looked around: "Where are Aunt Qin, Xiao Wen, and Xiao An'er?"
