Some people say that Guangzhou’s winter is not cold, but that depends on the situation. If the temperature drops sharply across the country, Guangzhou will be no exception. After all, cold air can penetrate deep into mainland China.
It was already November, and Grandma Liu mysteriously pulled Xia Ruzheng into her house.
"Zhengzheng, come here!"
Xia Ruzheng was still a little confused. What happened?
After Grandma Liu pulled Xia Ruzheng into the house, she opened a large black box. Inside, there were coats neatly arranged, some with fur collars, some leather, and some tweed. It was really dazzling.
Grandma Liu said, "This box of clothes was all bought by me. Some of them were worn when I was younger, and some were worn by my son. I'm too old to wear them, and no one wears my son's clothes either. So I thought I could pick up a few and give them to your family. I wouldn't have to keep them here and take the trouble to maintain them."
Xia Ruzheng was shocked by Grandma Liu's generosity: "Grandma, this is not good, right?"
Grandma Liu rolled her eyes at Xia Ruzheng and said, "What do you mean by 'not very good'? If it suits you, just take it. Are you complaining that my things are not good?"
How is this possible? Xia Ruzheng quickly waved his hands in denial.
China is currently at a point where it's hard to buy anything you want. Many things are difficult to produce in China and must be purchased overseas. Grandma Liu's coats are clearly not ordinary domestic products. Since she frequently performs abroad, it's understandable that she buys some clothes from abroad. Xia Ruzheng has never bought fine clothes in her life, but Xia Chunfu puts a lot of thought into buying clothes for the two sisters. Xia Ruzheng, with a bit of vision and intelligence, can appreciate the extraordinary nature of these items.
"It's not that I dislike Grandma. All her things are good, how could I dislike them? I just feel embarrassed to always take advantage of Grandma like this!"
The rent is so cheap, and they often send food and drinks to the two of them. It's fine to give them things that they don't use often, but this coat can be sold for dozens of dollars, so Xia Ruzheng really doesn't have the heart to accept it.
Grandma Liu smiled and said, "You just like to be polite! You know how your Grandpa An and I are doing. Ever since you two moved in, this courtyard has become much more lively! We don't have any other thoughts, we just want to live a more comfortable life in our old age. These material possessions are meaningless to keep here. We like you two being well, and seeing you dressed makes us happy. For us, isn't happiness the most important thing?"
Xia Ruzheng said, "Grandma, you making me feel even more embarrassed. I feel like I took advantage of your good things. My husband and I don't have much ability, and we wanted to repay Grandpa and Grandma, but ended up owing more and more."
Grandma Liu took out her red coat and gestured to Xia Ruzheng, saying, "Don't say such harsh words about what you owe. We are two old people, and as long as someone cares about us, we are content!"
As she spoke, Grandma Liu's eyes turned red.
Xia Ruzheng knew that old age was not easy for the elderly. As an artist, Grandma Liu couldn't possibly have seven or eight children like many ordinary women. She also had to consider her career, so she didn't have many children. Unexpectedly, she lost her last one. There were some photos hanging on the wall of Grandma Liu's house. Xia Ruzheng had noticed carefully that Grandma Liu must have had more than one child. Besides the son who had the accident, there must have been others. He wondered what happened to the other children.
Seeing Grandma Liu's red eyes, Xia Ruzheng felt uncomfortable. He picked up a coat and gestured to Grandma Liu, saying, "Grandma, look at it! You are still as elegant as ever! Such a good piece of clothing, are you willing to give it to me at such a low price?"
Xia Ruzheng deliberately acted greedy. Seeing her like this, Grandma Liu put aside her sadness and thought that she had originally invited someone to try on clothes with good intentions, and it would be bad to make someone unhappy. She calmed down and said, "Isn't it a good deal for you? So you have to wear it often and walk around the yard for me a few times to make me happy."
"So you want me to be a model?"
Nowadays, modeling is still a new thing in China!
Grandma Liu was no stranger to models, and said with a smile, "Yes, I am your model!"
This time, Grandma Liu not only gave Xia Ruzheng a leather coat and two woolen coats, but also got two for Wen Zhichao. In order to prevent Grandma Liu from remembering the unpleasant things, although Xia Ruzheng felt unworthy, he still accepted it happily, thinking that he would have to repay Grandma Liu and Grandpa An double in the future.
