Chapter 110: Chapter 92: Lin Lishan’s Heartache

Zhou Jiao watched her waver and glanced outside, whispering, "It doesn’t matter if you give gifts at home, smart people don’t show off their wealth. If it’s said that we gave Xiao Wu’s two brothers-in-law the clothes, it would look bad. These military supplies are extremely valuable, not only rare in the market, but wearing them would make people think too much. Even if they don’t say anything, aren’t there still their parents?"

"The military coat with yarn is heavy enough as a gift. Look at the washing ceremony gift. Following the county level, even a pound of yarn is a heavy gift. According to the village standard, yarn is like gold. You’ve already given quite a lot to Xiao Wu’s family, which changes things. Otherwise, I wouldn’t plan to stand out."

Zhou Jiao recalled the director of the textile factory wearing a military coat, and her young daughter boasting at school that her family was connected to the army, which gave her a headache. These five military coats would provide yet another topic for gossip. If her mother-in-law hadn’t seen the military coats, she would never have given them away.

"Fine, I’ll listen to you. Saving the fabric to make clothes for you would be nice. This time, I saw good quality fabric and bought several bolts of woolen material. Make a Lenin suit, a coat for Xiao Wu, and keep the rest for later use. Plus, make several pairs of work trousers; the material is really durable and seems upscale."

"Nowadays, big cities dress like this, so you should dress well. I say throw away those patched clothes. Next time mom brings you two cashmere coats, buy black and brown ones; don’t get red and green ones, they don’t suit your style."

Zhou Jiao nodded happily, "No wonder we’re mother and daughter, we have the same taste. Only black and brown ones, they’re easier to match with clothes. You probably don’t have money on you, remember to bring the Beijing savings book back."

Zhou Jiao saw her mother enthusiastic, matching her mood, and besides, she really wasn’t used to wearing patched clothes. Maybe forced by the future circumstances, she might change, but for now, she wanted to look beautiful, her reflection in the mirror was unbearable.

"Don’t worry, let your dad buy it, keep your savings book. Mom has money, your grandmother has my savings book. Keep the things I give you well, don’t take them out. A woman should have money and spend slowly on herself, buy what you want."

"Just think, even if you don’t work, renting out the yard brings in 50 yuan a month, more than some who work. What are you worried about? Mom’s salary is 100, almost 200 monthly, plus your dad’s salary, our family really doesn’t lack money."

"You’re the only one in our family, spend without calculating. If Mom really cared about money, I wouldn’t have given gifts to your grandaunt for free. If I were like you, counting every penny, I’d have rented out for at least 100 yuan."

"Look in the mirror, see your face—it’s yellow, skinny, lacking nutrition. This month, you must nourish well; good nutrition means nutritious milk, and Ping’an will be healthy. Even if you’re flamboyant, cause trouble, your mom can handle it. What are you afraid of?"
