True to her word, Grandma Guo didn't ask again. Instead, she just smiled wryly and poked her on the forehead. "You clever little thing, keeping secrets from your grandma?"
"All right, all right. Grandma won't ask, is that better? I promise I'll have everything you need by tomorrow!"
Sheng Leyun smiled and hummed in agreement.
Early the next morning, she borrowed a bicycle and rode to the garment factory. With some sweet-talking and a can of malted milk extract, she successfully bought four bags of fabric scraps and some defective cloth from the warehouse at a low price.
After dropping the things off at home, Sheng Leyun headed to the city's main co-op. There, she bought some elastic bands, glue, simple metal hair clips, old cotton batting, and various other components.
Of course, she also remembered to buy plenty of sugar, small wooden sticks, and get a small propane tank.
On her way, she passed a soda factory and paid someone there for a bit of food coloring.
