Chapter 38 038 Selling Wool
When he went to work the next day, Luo Yu's mood improved again.
This morning she signed in ten pounds of wool, in five colors, including two pounds of bright red. She planned to knit it into a sweater to wear when she gets married.
"Hey, Ronaldinho is in a good mood today. He's in such a good mood. Let's light the stove later."
Aunt Liu smiled and handed the stove hook to Luo Yu.
Luo Yu took the stove hook, cleaned out the ashes in the stove, picked up the birch bark on one side and lit it.
"Mom, stop standing here. The smoke will get to you later."
Aunt Liu smiled and nodded, but did not leave. She picked up a handful of firewood and filled it into the stove, just pressing it on the lit birch bark.
After a while, the fire started, and Luo Yu added half a shovelful of coal.
Aunt Hu brought the water back just in time and put it on the stove. "I came back just in time. There will be water to drink soon. It's really cold today. I woke up in the morning and saw that it was cloudy outside. It might snow in the afternoon." .
Sister Zhang, has your son returned from his trip? Don't miss it when it snows heavily. Snowy roads are not easy to walk on. ”
Aunt Zhang collected the swept garbage with a pinch and put it at the door. "I came back at midnight yesterday. The next time I go out will be three days later. If it snows, it should stop snowing."
"It's harder to walk when it snows. You have to ask Xiao Zhou to drive carefully."
Aunt Zhao threw away the rag in her hand and sat down on the chair.
"I really can't work for a few more years with my old arms and legs. Sister Zhang, it's getting cold. You have to be careful with your old cold legs and soak your feet more at night."
Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded, "I know, I'm talking as if you don't have old legs. There is nothing wrong with any of us old gangsters."
Aunt Liu also nodded, "No, apart from Ronaldinho, I am the youngest in this room, but my body and bones are getting worse day by day. I always feel tired and panicked."
Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes, "You can do it. You are two or three years younger than me. If you are like this, I won't live anymore."
A group of aunts finished their work while chatting. When the fire started and the room became warm, several aunts took out wool and knitted sweaters.
Director Xu has a meeting in the city today and won't come, so the few of them are even more relaxed.
Luo Yu also took out wool and started knitting.
She borrowed the stick and needle from Aunt Xi this morning, but the stick and needle were made of bamboo and were easy to use without aluminum.
"Where did Xiao Luo buy this wool? The color is so pretty, isn't it?"
Aunt Hu had sharp eyes, and when she raised her head, she saw the wool in Luo Yu's hand.
Luo Yu said with a smile: "My classmate works at the Western Store. She got it for me and she just gave it to me yesterday."
With Li Kexin's work figuring out the origin of the wool, she would have a ready excuse to come up with something good later.
Several aunts looked at it with enthusiasm.
This wool is not only of good color, but also of high quality. It is much better than the wool they have. If only I could get some...
"Ronald, can your classmate get some more?"
Aunt Hu asked in a low voice.
Luo Yu's eyebrows flashed, and there was a smile in his eyes.
It just so happened that she wanted to be nice to some aunties yesterday, but she could fulfill her wish today.
"Also, I have to ask, aunt, what color do you want? How much do you want? I'll ask my classmates later."
Aunt Hu's eyes lit up, "Do you want a ticket?"
Luo Yu frowned slightly, "I don't have any tickets, but the price is not low." When several aunts heard this, they surrounded Luo Yu.
"We want as much as we can, and we want as much as we can get."
Luo Yu was a little embarrassed.
She also wanted to knit a sweater for Xi Beizhan.
But they didn't give much to them.
"Let me ask, these woolen yarns are not that easy to get. I heard they are all reserved for the higher-ups. They come from all over the country. If my classmate's father hadn't been a store manager, he wouldn't have been able to get these."
When Luo Yu said this, everyone looked at each other with understanding and looked at Luo Yu more eagerly.
"Little Luo, we don't want much, just a pound per person is enough to knit a sweater."
Aunt Zhao walked to Luo Yu and picked up Luo Yu's wool to check the quality. The more she looked at it, the happier she became. She nodded to everyone to express her recognition of the quality of the wool.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately gathered around.

Luo Yu glanced at the closed office door and whispered: "I'll give it a try. I'll run over at noon to see if there are any.
Otherwise, it will really snow in the afternoon and it will be difficult to walk, and it will disappear in two days. ”
Several aunts agreed with a smile, and said that Luo Yu could come a little later in the afternoon, and nothing would happen if they were here to keep an eye on him.
People in the office are like this these days. Anyone who has something to do can come in late and leave early. As long as colleagues have no objections, the leaders will turn a blind eye. What's more, the direct leader, Director Xu, is not here today.
Luo Yu smiled and agreed. When the bell rang at noon, he quickly left the office and went straight to the central store without even having time to eat lunch.
Looking at Luo Yu who was walking quickly, Aunt Zhao and the others laughed again.
"I don't know where Xiao Luo bought yesterday's buns. They were so fragrant and didn't seem to smell like a state-owned restaurant."
"No, my mouth is watering when I think of the smell of the buns. I'll ask her another day if she made them herself, and we can learn how to make some."
"You greedy thing, other craftsmen have secret recipes. Who knows if it is a secret recipe passed down from Xiao Luo's family? Isn't it good to pass it on to others?"
"That's right. Don't make things difficult for us because of our greedy mouths. Let's wait until we have the opportunity to eat a few bites to satisfy our cravings."
A few people laughed and took the hot lunch off the stove, then wrapped Luo Yu's lunch box with a few towels and put it aside, with two small mats covering it, so that Luo Yu could still eat when he came back. It tastes hot when you eat it.
The stove was burning brightly, and rice that was heated for too long would easily burn to the bottom. Several people were afraid of burning the bottom of the lunch box.
Luo Yu on the other side quickly arrived at the central store and took a look around. It happened that Sister Wang hadn't gotten off work yet.
"Sister, fortunately I came early, otherwise you would have eaten later."
When Sister Wang saw it was Luo Yu, her eyes lit up and she rolled her eyes at Luo Yu angrily, "Why are you here again? Wait, I'm going to have dinner with you later. You're in for a treat with the dumplings made by my mother-in-law today."< br>
"Don't I miss my sister?"
As soon as Sister Wang came out of the counter, Luo Yu's hand wrapped around her and hugged Sister Wang's arm tightly. Anyone could tell that the two sisters were very close to each other.
The two of them were having fun while walking out. When they got out of the central store, Luo Yu let go of Sister Wang with a smile, took out a handful of white rabbits from his pocket and stuffed it into Sister Wang's pocket.
"Give my nephew a sweet mouth."
Sister Wang accepted it generously, without any courtesy at all.
"Let's go, sister will take you to the warehouse. You can take the batch of cotton that just arrived the day before yesterday and make quilts or something."
The two of them went to the warehouse one after another, opened the door, and Luo Yu "stabbed" and got in.
