"It's great. With so many annual gifts, we don't have to buy meat during the Chinese New Year."
Xiang took the cloth from her daughter's arms, tore open the oil paper holding the cloth and looked at it. It was a soft cotton cloth, and the smile on her face grew wider.
"This cotton is good, just right for making clothes for puppy eggs."
Little Dog Dan is Bai Hua’s nephew, who was born in the last month of Mao’s family. His first name is Xiang Youzhi, and his nickname is Little Dog Dan.
Bai Hua glanced at the work clothes she was wearing, pursed her lips and said, "Mom, on the 28th, I am going to the city to attend the year-end party organized by my boss. I want to go to the city to buy better clothes."
She has been working for more than half a year, and she has left nothing left of her wages or bonuses to her family. Originally, she wanted to keep some of the bonuses for herself, but there are people who work with her in the village, and she will be praised and rewarded.
The news reached the ears of her mother and grandma, and as soon as she came home, her mother and grandma would ask for the money, leaving her with no money left.
She has earned so much money for her family, but she hasn’t made any new clothes yet! She usually wears two pairs of work clothes in between. Although she wears work clothes energetically, she can’t wear them all the time! Xiang glanced at her daughter
I just remembered that everyone in my family had made new clothes for the Chinese New Year this year, but my daughter hadn’t made one yet! “What to buy in the city is very expensive, so I’ll just make clothes for your nephew. This piece of cloth is more uniform.”
Come out and dress you up."
Bai Hua felt very uncomfortable because she had obviously brought this cloth back to make clothes for her, but she still had to redress it from here.
"I'm about to enter the city on the 28th. It's too late."
There is simply no time to make it now, and even if it is made with force, there will definitely be no embroidery at all.
We were going to a big restaurant in the city for dinner! Everyone must be dressed nicely, including the boss and the stewards, and she also wanted to dress decently and look good.
Bai Tian saw his daughter's unhappiness and said loudly: "My daughter can earn so much, why should she spend her money to buy clothes in the city?"
He looked at his mother-in-law and said, "Tomorrow, take a tael of silver and flowers and go to the city to buy clothes."
"My sister-in-law has really become a young lady now. Only young ladies from rich families go to clothing stores to buy clothes!"
Mrs. Mao held her son in her arms and said in a strange manner.
Bai Hua glanced at her eccentric sister-in-law with an unhappy look on her face. Ever since she got a job, she had been listening to her eldest sister-in-law's eccentric words for more than half a year, as if the job should have been her elder brother's, but she had snatched it away.
Although their family's life is getting better now, they are not considered rich. Xiang looked at her daughter with a straight face and said: "You are not a young lady from a rich family. Why don't you go to the city to buy clothes? Besides, you just go in."
You don't know what to do in this city, and you don't wear anything. I look at the work clothes you're wearing, and you look good in them."
She felt that her daughter was becoming more and more ambitious just because she could make money. She also wanted to imitate the young ladies in the city and buy clothes in shops.
Seeing that her mother didn't even plan to do it for her, Bai Hua felt aggrieved and angry, "Weiya is run by the largest restaurant in the city. I was rated as an outstanding employee. If I want to go up on stage to receive the award, the owner will personally give it to me."
prize.
Everyone else is dressed decently, but I am wearing a work clothes, what do I look like..." At the end of the sentence, my voice was so choked that I was almost crying.
The focus of Xiang's concern is not that her daughter is about to cry, but the award. "How much is the award for outstanding employees?"
Bai Hua was deeply disappointed when she saw that her mother only cared about money. In her mother's heart, she only had her brother, her sister-in-law, and her nephew, and she was just a tool to make money for the family.
Because she will get married sooner or later, all the money she earned before getting married must be given to the family, and she cannot keep even half of it, let alone enjoy it.
"Ten taels of silver."
The manager said that excellent employees are worth ten taels of silver.
