Although Xiaojiacun is a little richer than Tangjiawan, it is not much richer. He would not be willing to live in a high-end inn like Ruyilou if he was asked to pretend to be fat.
So, he thought of one thing: he is better than Tangjiawan in terms of clothing. After all, if you stay in a good inn, even if you have face, it will only last for a while, but if you wear it, you can see it wherever you go.
Thinking about this, I thought about spending two taels of silver to buy new clothes for each child. When the time comes, all the children will be wearing the same new clothes. When they come out, they should look neater.
Besides, people are all about clothes. If they go out poorly dressed, it will affect the image of the entire village. Buying them clothes will not only help them stand out in Tangjiawan, but also prevent them from being looked down upon.
So, he took his children out to order clothes. As long as the clothing store could make them overnight, he could get them early tomorrow morning.
However, the amount of money he can spare is limited, and there are many children in their village. One set for each person requires eighteen sets. Ordinary burlap clothes cost more than 30 yuan per set, and better fine linen clothes cost more than 30 yuan.
It would cost him around sixty bucks, and eighteen sets of fine linen would cost him one tael or eighty cents.
Coarse linen clothes were not very good-looking, so what he could buy for the children were fine linen clothes. At this time, he had already ordered them for the children, because there were three sets of ready-made coarse cloth clothes in the shop for the children to wear. Seeing the three
The two children had very few clothes on them, so I simply gave them to them. The three of them got new clothes and already wore them.
When they walked out, they happened to see Ruyi and his seven children walking over.
When Ruyi came in with her friends, but Tang Houde was not around, Xiaona thought they were just here to have fun.
Taking a look at the children in his village wearing brand new clothes, Xiaona wanted to say a few words to suppress Tangjiawan, but the adults didn't come. What he wanted to say would be a bit like bullying the children.
Therefore, he looked at Xiao Jun, and Xiao Jun agreed.
In fact, she didn't need to give Xiao Jun a signal. The three children wearing new clothes all looked proud, and they looked at the Tangjiawan children with pride in their eyes.
A child of about ten years old deliberately showed off his new clothes: "Our clothes are so beautiful, better than those worn by people in Tangjiawan."
In fact, Ruyi was wearing fine cotton clothes, which were much finer and more expensive than the burlap he was wearing, but they couldn't help but think that their clothes were new. Moreover, they didn't look at Ruyi, but at Tang Dashui and Tang San
Ya's clothes.
Another child answered: "These are our new clothes, of course they look good. Look at them, they are still wearing patched clothes!"
"No, look at that girl. She's not only wearing patched clothes, she's also wearing patches on top of the patches. It's so ugly to wear such clothes."
Ruyi didn't want to pay attention to them, but they were buzzing in her ears like flies, which made her very annoyed: "Can you be more successful? You just wear coarse clothes. What's the point of being proud of?"
Xiao Jun smiled: "We are not promising, but we have new clothes. You are promising, but you are still wearing shabby clothes. Wherever you go, people will know that you are Shanmaguai."
Ruyi looked at his feet: "Even if you put on new clothes, you still have a pair of worn-out shoes. People will know at a glance that you have muddy legs."
