At that time, Sheng Xiping was rich, and his wife didn't care about spending money. She would buy whatever was good or expensive.
"Don't worry, I'll earn more money in the future, and you can buy whatever you want," Sheng Xiping coaxed gently.
"Come on, take a look at these shoes, do you like them?"
There weren't many styles of leather shoes back then. They were mostly three-piece, five-eyelet shoes made of full cowhide, bell-top youth-style leather shoes, and five-eyelet shoes made of full cowhide with an outer press toe.
The pair that Sheng Xiping liked was a new style, women's full leather half-heel crossbody shoes, produced by the No. 1 Provincial Leather Shoe Factory, with Hanniu sole and scraped sole, so the quality was definitely not a problem.
Zhou Qinglan held the shoes, examined them over and over several times, and finally put them on the counter.
"Let's not buy it. We work on the mountain all day, and I don't have many opportunities to wear it. If we buy it, it will look old and worn out in a few years."

"It's really expensive. You don't earn money easily, so why don't you buy it?" Zhou Qinglan raised her hand to stop the salesperson.
"It's okay, listen to me, otherwise my mom will definitely scold me when I get home." Sheng Xiping smiled and insisted on buying the shoes.
The salesperson ignored all that and issued a receipt directly.
Sheng Xiping paid for the shoes, then wrapped them up and put them in Zhou Qinglan's backpack.
