Two pieces of clothing totaled twenty-two yuan.
Li Xianglu quickly packed the clothes and receipts into her handbag, then looked over the blue cover shirts again. They were somewhat flawed but very cheap; these flawed ones didn't require cloth tickets, each costing only two yuan. Li Xianglu bought six in one go, one for Li Dafu, one for Li Erfu, one for Qu Yeyu, one for Grandpa, and one each for Qin Xi and Qin Zhen.
As for cover shirts, she had bought enough. Li Xianglu then spotted military cotton-padded jackets that were 80% new, costing just sixteen yuan each. She was thrilled and grabbed five at once. Grandpa's military jacket had stiffened, even with Uncle Xue's help in tearing and re-sewing it before winter, it still wasn't warm enough. Ideally, she would fill it with new cotton, but there was a cotton shortage during winter, and neither she nor Grandpa had enough supply; months of accumulation wouldn't suffice for a jacket.
