Jiang's mother was reluctant to buy. A piece of clothing would cost at least ten or twenty yuan. How many clothes could she make with that money? Moreover, clothes for two people alone would cost dozens of yuan. She couldn't save that much in a year, so how could she bear to spend it?
"Second girl, your father and I don't need to buy new clothes. It's not like the clothes we're wearing are unwearable. We haven't worn them many times since they were made.
I see people on the street wearing the same thing, don’t they? It’s not shabby, so let’s not buy it.”
Jiang Mengxue felt that she had not been with her parents for several years, so spending this little money was nothing to her.
Every year when she thought of them, she would make clothes for her father, mother, second uncle and second aunt.
But she didn't do it for Jiang's father and mother, mainly because they worked every day and only wore the same few pieces of clothes.
I’m reluctant to wear new clothes after I make them, and they end up in the bottom of the closet.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to send some food and drinks that can be eaten.
"Don't worry, your daughter can afford it.
Besides, a piece of clothing can be worn for a long time. You can wear it when visiting relatives in the future, and it won’t be wasted.
When we get to Beijing, I'll ask someone to take a few more photos of you, and we'll wear our new clothes to show off.
"When you go to the Great Wall in Beijing to see Tiananmen Square, shouldn't you dress nicely? Your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren will all be looking at the photos."
Jiang's mother looked a little hesitant, and she was somewhat persuaded.
Not only can her family see the photos, but she can also show them to the old sisters in the village, as she has also been to the capital.
Just think about how grand the scene was. Who could be as lucky as her?
Without further hesitation, he picked up the clothes and went into the fitting room.
The salesperson had a good eye and the clothes he picked out were all suitable, with nothing needing alterations.
"As long as they fit, it's fine. Let's make a list and pay for these clothes."
The two sales clerks each picked up the clothes they were responsible for and started to write out orders.
Jiang Mengxue handed over the bill readily, and Jiang Mengran also took out the bill, but was stopped by Jiang Mengxue.
"It was me who suggested bringing my parents here to buy clothes. How could I let you pay?"
But when Jiang Mengran saw the price, she didn't want her sister to pay for it alone.
"Then we'll each pay half. We can't let you pay for it all.
You can imagine that your trip to the capital will cost a lot of money.
You have five children to support at home, so let me pay half."
Although she knew that her sister and brother-in-law had good salaries, the more people there were in the family, the heavier the burden would be.
The two of them can save dozens of dollars a month from their salary, so raising two children is not a heavy burden, and their parents-in-law can also help.
Before coming, Tian Xinghe specifically told her not to let her second sister pay for everything. Since her parents were here, they, as their daughter and son-in-law, should also contribute to the expenses.
