Jiang Weimin returned home in a depressed mood.
When his daughter Xiaomei saw him, she asked hurriedly, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to visit Aunt Juan and help her? How come you're back so soon?"
Jiang Weimin was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Your Aunt Juan seems a little unhappy? What you just said to me is useless."
Jiang Xiaomei was also puzzled, so she asked with a smile, "Dad, what did you say?"
"Just do as you said, see if there's anything I can help with, and show some concern if you can."
"Well, I saw her packing clothes for Xiaoxing, and they were all torn and patched, so I told her that I didn't want them anymore and would buy new ones tomorrow. Then she seemed a little depressed, but she didn't say anything. Then she asked me to settle the bill and pay me back."
Jiang Xiaomei smiled and said, "Dad, your idea is good, but the way you ask is wrong. This is too hurtful to people's self-esteem."
Jiang Weimin exclaimed and looked at his daughter in confusion.
Then I heard her continue, "Aunt Juan's family conditions are not good to begin with. She must want to earn money to buy good food for her brother, but the conditions do not allow it. She is already distressed. As a result, after you said this, she must feel even more incompetent."
Jiang Weimin groaned, "But I really didn't mean that."
"Before we came to Beijing, we also wore patched clothes in the countryside, which was okay, but now that conditions are better, there's no need to wear tattered clothes when we can wear good ones."
Jiang Xiaomei sighed, "Well, after all, you two are a little bit different now. Maybe Aunt Juan feels that she is not worthy of you in this aspect, so she feels bad. It's not targeting you."
"Maybe Aunt Juan is now only thinking about how to make money and save money to bring up her brother, and she has no time to think about anything else."
Jiang Weimin lowered his head and remained silent, slowly beginning to digest Xiaomei's words.
Then he looked at himself with sudden understanding.
I spent a lot of money to buy new clothes just to leave a good impression on Xiaojuan and Xiaoxing.
But they didn't take into account that this would make the contrast between the two people more obvious and the difference more significant.
It must be very uncomfortable to be with myself like this.
No wonder Xiaojuan didn’t look at me much today.
After Jiang Weimin figured it out, he quickly got up to change his clothes and go over there again.
Jiang Xiaomei hurriedly stopped her father and said, "Dad, you are too anxious. Wait a moment. I will find a way to invite Aunt Juan to your home in the evening."
"Really?" Jiang Weimin was surprised and moved.
I am amazed that my little one has grown up and now knows how to worry about his own affairs.
Then he smiled gently and said, "Xiaomei has really grown up. Now she can help daddy with his worries and problems."
Jiang Xiaomei also smiled and said, "Why should we be polite to each other? I am your biological daughter, and we will definitely think about solving any problems together."
Jiang Weimin nodded with satisfaction, and then carefully confirmed again, "Xiaomei, you know that your father is a bit rough, but do you really not mind this matter between me and your Aunt Juan?"
"And Xiaoxing has just arrived in Beijing. It's not easy for the brother and sister. I want to help them as much as I can and be nicer to them."
"But in my heart, you are my daughter and will always come first. You know this, right?"
Jiang Xiaomei wiped her eyes uncomfortably, "Dad, what's wrong with you today? You suddenly become sentimental and corny."
"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. I understand all these principles."
"Besides, I like Aunt Juan myself, and I sincerely hope that you two can be together."
"When you meet Aunt Juan tonight, you must talk to her properly and don't let her misunderstand you again."
"What should I say?"
"Just like what you just told me, it's fine."
"Ai."
Neither the father nor the daughter thought that one day their relationship would become closer because of this incident.
......
At night.
Xiaomei went to find Xie Xiaojuan alone.
He said he wanted her to help mend some clothes.
Xie Xiaojuan agreed without hesitation, but when she saw that she didn't bring any clothes, she asked curiously, "Where are the clothes?"
Jiang Xiaomei smiled innocently and said, "In my own room."
"Aunt Juan, please come sit with me. I have some delicious food there. Let's talk together."
Xie Xiaojuan didn't think much about it at the time.
So he got up and followed him out the door.
Jiang Xiaomei even held Xie Xiaojuan's arm affectionately and said, "Aunt Juan, you have great craftsmanship. The pants you mended for me last time didn't have any marks on them at all."
Xie Xiaojuan smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, but you have so many clothes, why do you always wear old ones?"
Jiang Xiaomei explained, "Old clothes are comfortable and soft. My father taught me to be frugal since I was young. Although our living conditions are better now, we should avoid waste if we can."
"It's not just me. My dad is even better at managing his life than I am. Don't be fooled by his neat outer clothes. In fact, he mends his socks and undershirts himself. They look so ugly."
Xie Xiaojuan was stunned after hearing this.
I didn't expect that Jiang Weimin, who is so generous, is also so good at living his life in private?
So today he asked himself to throw away the patched clothes and buy new ones.
Is it simply for your own good?
Thinking of this, Xie Xiaojuan felt a lot of warmth in her heart.
As soon as the two entered the house, Jiang Xiaomei took out the snacks she had prepared in advance.
I made her another cup of brown sugar water.
