"The clothes and pants are really nice, otherwise we wouldn't have bought so many. Your sister-in-law is quite capable, setting up such a big stall." Qiao Xiaoni said politely to the driver.
After the last passenger boarded and the driver closed the door, he said to them, "She's always been very opinionated. She always said that women in the new era should marry late, and she's still single at 23."
All he thinks about is making money. As for that stall, well, he lost some money at first, but it's started making money in the last year or two. I heard all this from my wife.
It's already quite rare to be 23 and still single. She'd barely turned 18 when her parents started worrying about her. She's a determined young woman; she's sure to achieve great things in the future.
I went back to town to meet up with my family, and then we rode our bikes home together.
The town mayor is very efficient; he sent someone to deliver a red Liberation brand women's bicycle (model 26) at noon today.
On the road.
Tao Chunfang tried riding a bicycle, and it was much simpler than she had imagined. She was careful when going downhill, but rode steadily on flat roads.
Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Qiao Xiaoni praised her, "Sister-in-law, you ride your bike very well. You can ride to town by yourself tomorrow morning."
Tao Chunfang relaxed: "This bicycle looks difficult to learn, but it's actually very simple."
I overcomplicated things before; I thought it would be very difficult to learn.
Qiao Dashan: "Wife, you need to ride slowly. Once you're more skilled, you can ride faster."
Otherwise, falling off the car would hurt a lot.
Qiao Haisheng took a puff of his pipe. His children were all doing very well, and he felt that God was blessing their family.
Now all that's left is to find a wife for the second son. Once the daughter's situation is settled, we'll have to ask a matchmaker to find someone for her.
The sooner we finalize the deal, the more people we can have to help out at the store.
Qiao Xiaoshan, who was tidying up tables in the shop, sneezed but didn't pay attention and continued wiping the tables with a rag. He figured if he did more work, Ma Yulan could do less the next day.
After thinking about it, I'll go wash the dishes in the kitchen again in a bit.
Back home, after finishing dinner, I took out all the things I had bought that day.
The entire kang (a heated brick bed) was covered with clothes. Qiao Xiaoni took out clothes and pants from the bag: "The ones on the left are what I will wear for my wedding, and the ones on the right are what I bought for you."
My sister-in-law and my mother each bought a pair of jeans, and my eldest brother and second brother each bought a pair of pants.
When things are a bit easier, I'll get you all a new outfit, so each of you will have one.
We'll buy more clothes for the kids next time we go shopping. We're a bit short on time today, so this is all we can buy for now.
Li Meihua and Tao Chunfang were both surprised; they hadn't expected to receive pants. Looking at the jeans, they felt the style was a bit strange.
Qiao Xiaoni put on her jeans and gestured to them, saying, "These jeans are dirt-resistant and accentuate a woman's leg shape, making her look better. All the young girls on the street are wearing them now, and in a while, the girls in the village will be wearing them too."
Don't just look at them, try them on first. You've already bought them, so try them on; it's not like we're charging you for it.
Tao Chunfang put on the jeans without hesitation. The waistband was a little loose, and she had never worn such tight pants before. She felt a little uncomfortable, but after walking a couple of steps, she felt better.
"How is it? Does it look good?" she asked Qiao Dashan.
