"Hmm, Xiangyang, you can tell Dad and Mom, I’m not going on blind dates anymore." Zhao Xiangqian grinned, thinking about Sun Qing, he felt certain his parents would like her, and he said, "She is a very gentle girl, Mom and Dad will definitely like her."
"Brother, keep it up, bring Sister-in-law home soon." Zhao Xiangyang encouraged Zhao Xiangqian, chatted with him about family matters, and when it seemed about time, she hung up the phone and took the clothes home.
The new clothes were tried on by her son Xiao Song, and they fit just right. The brown little jacket looked stylish, and with the cartoon patterns on it, it was extra cute.
Wearing the clothes, Xiao Song looked a lot more handsome.
The more Zhao Xiangyang looked, the happier she was, holding her smiling son, she said, "This is the new clothes Uncle bought you, do you like them?"
"I like them." Luo Xiaosong gingerly touched the new clothes, couldn’t bear to part with them, but didn’t dare to keep touching them, afraid they might get damaged. Wearing them, he felt very proud, he liked this new outfit; it was both good-looking and cool.
"Then shall we go to Grandma’s house, okay?" Zhao Xiangyang kissed her son’s face, seeing the excitement in his shining eyes, felt a bit guilty as Xiaosong didn’t have many new clothes growing up.
Maybe, listening to her brother and opening a small shop could really make some money?
Just that starting a shop requires quite a bit of capital, and it needs more careful planning.
Various thoughts floated through Zhao Xiangyang’s mind as she prepared to take Luo Xiaosong back to town to see her parents, and at the same time, bring the good news to them.
When they arrived in town and returned to the Zhao family, Mrs. Zhao was busy in the vegetable garden next to the house, and Mr. Zhao was working in town.
"Mom, I’m back." Zhao Xiangyang brought back some food, two jin of meat and one jin of ribs. On regular days, Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao were very frugal and couldn’t bear to buy them.
Every time Zhao Xiangyang came back, she would bring some meat dishes.
"Xiangyang, don’t buy meat every time you come back, your in-laws won’t like it if they find out." Mrs. Zhao was happy to see her daughter and grandson, but seeing the meat brought back, she reminded them.
"Mom, I know." Zhao Xiangyang replied with a smile, agreed obediently, but when it came to doing, she went by her own thoughts.
"Grandma, new clothes, do they look good?" Luo Xiaosong, wearing his new clothes, happily took his grandmother’s hand, spinning in circles in front of her, with a look of expectation on his face, hoping for her praise.
"Oh, are those our Xiaosong’s new clothes? They look fantastic."
Mrs. Zhao’s face bore the marks of time, her face a bit darkened and rough from years of labor, but her smile was incredibly warm, and she said, "My Xiaosong looks so spirited and handsome in new clothes."
Mrs. Zhao complimented him twice in a row, and the corners of Luo Xiaosong’s mouth almost reached his ears in a wide smile. His eyes turned, and he asked, "Where’s Grandpa? I want to show him."
"Your Grandpa hasn’t come back from work yet, he’ll be back around noon, you can show him then." Mrs. Zhao lovingly held Luo Xiaosong’s hand and said, "Grandma saved you some tasty treats, do you want to eat them?"
"I do."
Luo Xiaosong nodded eagerly, following Mrs. Zhao to eat the tasty treats.
By noon, Mr. Zhao came back, and Luo Xiaosong, acting as if afraid no one noticed, pointed out the beautiful clothes he was wearing with emphasis.
