"Dad, don't you see what happens to clothes after four or five years? I won't say anything about mending them, after all, the mending looks good and the clothes look good. But which clothes are more than two years old don't get sweat stains? Except for the originally black clothes, no matter what color clothes are, after wearing them for two years, they will turn black and be covered with tiny black spots." Especially in the summer when you sweat, a large area of tiny black spots will stick to your back. If everyone does this, it would probably scare people to death.
"In the summer, you sweat and your clothes get wet and dry, dry and wet again. Isn't this normal? It doesn't matter if they get a little black. As long as the clothes are not torn, it's fine." Jiang He has been watching this for decades and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
"There was no other way before because the country was short of supplies. Now that our country has developed, there will be more and more supplies in the future, and we will become more and more prosperous. We will no longer be short of food and clothing. Naturally, no one will wear clothes covered with sweat stains like this. We must follow the Party." When there are more wealthy people in the future, they will even dedicate entire cloakrooms to store clothes, hoping that they can have a different outfit every day for 360 days. What does a few sets of clothes for you this season mean?
As a soldier who once defended his country, Jiang He was particularly happy and proud when he heard Jiang Shushu say that his country would have enough food and clothing in the future. That was a belief and desire engraved in his bones.
"If our future country is really as you said, with enough food and clothing, if dad can see that day, then dad will die without regrets." Jiang He's voice was filled with sadness and longing.
Jiang He suddenly thought of his comrades who fell one after another in order to defend their country decades ago. Many of them were starving to death. They would rather die than die with a full stomach.
In order to allow more living comrades to have clothes to wear, some of them were left naked even after death, and covering their vital parts was already considered decent.
The greatest wish of the soldiers who defended their country at that time, whether alive or dead, was for peace and prosperity in the country and for the people to have enough food and clothing.
Jiang Shushu patted Jiang He's shoulder and said, "Dad, you can definitely see that. With your physical fitness, I'm not saying you'll live to be a hundred, but 99 is definitely no problem. When the time comes, my daughter, I'll take you on a tour. Let's see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. We can go to the sky and the sea without any problem."
Jiang He, who was still a little sad at the memory, suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "..." My daughter is really boastful. You said you would take me to climb mountains and see the sea, and as an old father, I would definitely believe you. Go up to the sky and into the sea, just brag. If I could really go up to the sky and into the sea, I, an old man, would become a god.
In order not to hurt Jiang Shushu's feelings, Jiang He could only say against his will: "Okay, okay, okay, Dad will wait."
Jiang Shushu knew from Jiang He's expression that he didn't believe it, so he didn't say anything else. After all, time will prove everything.
In another ten or eight years, I will take you to the sky on a plane. It will be easy to swim under the sea. As long as you live long enough, there will be plenty of glass passages under the sea.
Lele suddenly turned to Jiang Shushu and said, "Mom, when I grow up, I will buy you and Dad a lot of beautiful clothes, so that you can become the most beautiful and fashionable mom and dad."
Huanhuan: "Mom, don't worry, I will take you to the sky and the sea in the future, just like grandpa and grandma."
"You are so filial. Okay, okay, okay. Your dad and I will wait." Parents are the best teachers for their children. Teaching by words and deeds is more effective than anything else they say. Look, they understood without me saying anything.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the voice was panting, "Old man, open the door."
"Mom is back, I'll go open the door."
When Jiang Shushu opened the door, Xu Hehua wanted to rush over and hug Jiang Shushu, but she stopped when she saw the big grass carp in her hand.
Jiang Shushu took the fish from Xu Hehua and said, "Mom, why are you running? You're out of breath." She really doesn't think she is an old lady in her 60s!
"It's okay, it's okay. I heard the neighbor say you were back on the way, so I wanted to see you sooner, so I ran a few steps. You've lost weight, you must have suffered a lot outside. It's good that you're back. Mom will give you some nourishment."
"Thank you, Mom. I always miss the food you cook when I'm out. I want to eat three bowls of rice tonight." There is indeed a kind of thinness, which is when your mother thinks you have lost weight.
"Eat more tonight. This grass carp is really big. I'll cut it in half and make you sweet and sour fish and pickled fish.
"Okay, Mom, I'll unpack all the packages. You help my dad put them away while I take the fish to the kitchen."
Jiang Shushu was in the kitchen and heard Xu Hehua's exclamation without surprise, "Oh my God..."
Jiang Shushu did not go to the main hall immediately, but lingered in the kitchen for seven or eight minutes, giving Jiang He enough time to coax his wife and save her the trouble. Whose wife is it, and who can get it?
Jiang He and Jiang Shushu thought the same thing and stood on her side. The man who had just been saying that he didn't want so many clothes, turned into a filial child when facing Xu Hehua. We can't let her down...
Jiang Shushu went in after hearing no movement in the main hall. Xu Hehua opened her mouth again and again when she saw Jiang Shushu, and finally said only one sentence, "That's thoughtful. The clothes... Mom likes them very much."
How much does this cost? I'm so heartbroken. We already have clothes at home, why buy more clothes? Even if we need to buy more, just one set will be enough. Why buy 12 sets? Isn't this a waste of money? Happy and happy, as she grows older, she'll have more expenses in the future. She should save it. When the time comes, the betrothal gift, the dowry, which one won't cost money? Such a waste of money, and the old man won't let me say it.
Jiang Shushu gave Jiang He a thumbs up where Xu Hehua couldn't see.
One is worth two. As long as you can take care of Dad, Mom won’t have to worry.
Jiang He raised his eyebrows: "That's right, who am I, your father? How could I not even be able to please my wife?"
"As long as Mom likes it, I'm glad. I picked it especially for you. It will definitely look good on Mom. I can't say anything else, but it will at least make you look ten years younger. When you go out, people will think you're 40 at most."
"Haha... I look younger." Everyone loves beauty, and an old lady who is almost 60 years old is no exception.
…
The three of them moved their things back to their rooms, waiting to take them out, wash them, and wear them when they had time.
While Xu Hehua was cooking, Jiang Shushu pulled Jiang He and said, "Dad, there's still food for tomorrow. You should do some ideological work on my mom and make her feel at ease." Don't nag me.
"Anything else? Tell me first and let me get used to it." Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt and will join my wife in scolding you, the spendthrift.
"It's nothing. I just bought you a few pairs of shoes and blankets. The rest is food and drink. I also bought Mom a gold bracelet and a big gold-inlaid watch for you."
The more Jiang He listened, the faster his heartbeat became. He felt his blood boiling, and his mind was full of big gold bracelets and gold-inlaid watches.
