Xia Jin returned home, found the things, asked the two men to hold them, and followed them back to the rented courtyard.
Grandpa Xia and his family were sitting in the house. Seeing their two grandsons coming in with so many things, they quickly stood up and took them. Several people took the things and put them on the sofa.
"Buy this much."
Xia Jin followed in and heard what Aunt Xia said. She smiled and said, "We bought them together when we went to the capital. The clothes there are very new and there are some rare items, so I bought them together."
Xia Jin walked to the table and sat down, opening the clothes one by one. She took out the clothes she bought for everyone first, handed them to them one by one and said, "These are clothes according to your sizes. Go try them on."
Aunt Xia looked at the clothes Xia Jin bought for her, took them, touched the material and said, "They are really beautiful. It's a waste for a country girl like me to wear such beautiful clothes. I work in the fields all day, how can I wear such nice clothes?"
"Why not? Auntie, wear it as much as you can. We'll buy new ones when they get worn out. Clothes are meant to be worn, right?"
"Mom, when my brother and I make enough money, we will buy you new clothes so you can wear new clothes every day and make the people in the village envious."
Aunt Xia said with a smile: "You are so sweet-talking. I am waiting for you. I don't know how long I will have to wait. Xiaojin is still the best. Otherwise, people say that daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets."
"Auntie, you and your aunt can try them on first to see if you like them. The ones I bought for you are all very ordinary styles, not exaggerated. You won't look weird or out of place when you wear them at home."
Aunt Xia said, "I like it, of course I don't like it. Such nice clothes, I could only dream about them before. I used to think that when I got old, I would go to the city and buy myself some stylish clothes. Now my niece has made it big, look at her."
"But Xiaojin, you don't have to buy anything for your aunt in the future. I'm at home all day, and I have nowhere to wear such nice clothes. You can keep your own money, or buy a few more sets for your father and grandfather."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, auntie. Wear whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you wear it or not. What's wrong with wearing it to the fields? Besides, these are my filial piety to you. My dad and his family won't be left out."
"Go and try them on, brothers. The clothes you bought are the most popular among young people in Beijing right now. Take a look and see if you like them."
Xia Yanbing looked at the clothes Xia Jin handed over and chuckled twice and said, "I like it. Thank you, Xiaojin."
Xia Jin distributed all the clothes, then pushed Xia's father and the others into the house and asked them to change clothes. Xia Jin sat outside and waited. After a while, they were all changed. Not to mention that the Xia family members were not ugly, and they all had good figures. No matter what kind of clothes they wore, they could hold up and look good on them.
Looking at his father, who looked three or four years younger in this outfit, Xia Jin said, "Dad, wear it like this from now on. It will make you look younger and look good."
"Don't tell me these nice clothes look good on me. I can't even recognize your uncle and your dad. The last time I saw your uncle dressed like this was at his wedding."
"He was a handsome young man back then. Now he's old, but after putting on this outfit and tidying himself up, he really looks good and energetic."
Xia Jin heard Aunt Xia talking, turned around and looked at Aunt Xia and Aunt Xia who had changed their clothes and said, "They both look good."
Everyone came out wearing the clothes and took a walk around, then went back to change, saying that they were inconvenient to wear. Grandpa Xia said that he didn't know where to put his hands in these clothes and felt uncomfortable, so he went back to change into his own clothes.
After everyone came out, Xia Jin took out the watch she had given to her cousin and handed it to her cousin who was sitting quietly beside her, saying, "This is for you. You are getting married and I don't have anything else to give you, so I bought a watch for you."
Seeing that Xia Jin had bought such an expensive gift, the cousin said she would not accept anything. However, she was not good at speaking, so she had to look at her mother. Aunt Xia saw that Xia Jin had given her daughter such an expensive gift and quickly said:
"Xiao Jin, put it away quickly. Didn't you buy clothes for your cousin? It's great to have these clothes. Everyone will be envious of you when you wear them out. You won't need a watch anymore."
Xia Jin shook her head and said, "It's different. The richer the dowry, the better her life will be in her husband's family. When her husband's family sees her bringing such a large dowry, it means that she is favored at home. When they want to bully her, they have to think twice."
Xia Jin thought that it was because I went back too late. If I had gone back earlier, Xia Jin would never let my sister get married so early. If you are in a good relationship, there is nothing wrong with getting married, but if you meet someone through a blind date, you have to get along with each other.
They didn't even get along, but after the blind date they thought it was a good match and got engaged. It doesn't seem reliable no matter how you look at it. What if the guy's behavior during the blind date was all fake? Wouldn't that ruin her life?
However, when Xia Jin returned home, they had already been engaged, and Xia Jin couldn't let her aunt cancel the engagement. The other party had done nothing wrong, and it would not be good for her aunt's family to cancel the engagement suddenly.
Besides, Xia Jin had no right to do this. After all, he was a junior and it would not be appropriate for him to interfere in this matter.
Although Xia Jin felt that her sister was not in a hurry to get married at her age, people in the countryside got married early. Although the legal age was 20 for women and 22 for men, many people in the countryside held a wedding banquet first and then got a marriage certificate when they reached the age.
So people get married early. My sister's age is not considered young in the countryside. If she doesn't get married, people will definitely talk about her. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are the only ones that matter. Many people hastily give their future to others. Even if they make the wrong choice, they can only bear the consequences themselves. Divorces were rare at that time.
Aunt Xia said, "It doesn't have to be so expensive."
"It's okay, auntie. Just think of it as my wedding gift to my sister." Then he took his cousin's hand and put the watch on her. After putting it on, Xia Jin said, "It's really beautiful. The first time I saw this watch, I thought it would look great on my sister, and sure enough."
Aunt Xia went to see Grandpa Xia. Grandpa Xia looked at the watch on his granddaughter's hand and said, "Since it's a gift from Xiaojin, just take it. Pingping looks very good in it."
After hearing what Grandpa Xia said, Aunt Xia did not refuse and let her daughter accept the watch bought by Xia Jin. However, Aunt Xia kept the matter in her heart and thought about being nicer to Xia Jin in the future.
