Chapter 290 The Enlightened Xu Damin

Anyway, I will only wear these plastic sandals for another month or two. When the weather gets cooler, my mother and sister will wear calfskin shoes.

Xu Erlong bought the shoes and then thought about buying two pieces of clothes for Xiaoling and her mother.

There were very few ready-made clothes at this time, and most people bought fabrics and made them at home.

Xu Erlong didn't know much about fabrics. He looked carefully and found that the most expensive fabric was gabardine, which cost more than fifty yuan per meter. Fabrics like wool serge also cost more than thirty yuan per meter.

The fabric alone is so expensive, not counting the tailor's labor costs. Calculated in this way, the price of making a piece of clothing is quite high.

With almost three to four hundred yuan in income every day, Xu Erlong once thought that he had a huge sum of money and could be considered a rich man in this era of ultra-low prices.

After all, many things only cost one or two cents.

As a result, when I look at it now, damn, I am still a country bumpkin.

A piece of clothing can easily cost tens of dollars, or even hundreds of dollars.

Really, it's too expensive. Even as a grown man, he feels that the clothes are too expensive.

In the end, Xu Erlong gave up on his idea of ​​buying a lot, and honestly bought a pair of plastic sandals for Xiaoling. He also spent 20 yuan to buy a pair of good-quality shirts for Xiaoling and his sister each.

When he came out of the department store, Xu Erlong had the idea of ​​starting a clothing business.

The clothing business has its market at any time.

When doing business, the best money to make is women's money.

Clothes, bags, shoes, cosmetics... which one is not a bestseller?

However, the clothing business requires a lot of capital, so he has to wait for the eel business to be completed and accumulate more capital.

Xu Erlong went home and handed the clothes to Zhang Jinfang: "Mom, these are the clothes I bought for you. One for each of you and Xiaoling."

Zhang Jinfang was stunned and said angrily: "You kid, you just have a few money, and you are spending it randomly. I have clothes to wear..."

"Mom, this is a little thought. After making money, we have lived a well-fed life. Now the next step is to live a well-clothed life. I keep my word and will never let you and your sister suffer.

You feel wronged, follow me and live a hard life." Xu Erlong said.

Zhang Jinfang's eyes instantly turned red.

At first, when she followed Xu Erlong to separate the family, she was simply reluctant to let her sons and daughters leave home, fearing that they would suffer.

I think, even if I am begging for food outside, I still want to be with my children.

Unexpectedly, Xu Erlong really kept his word and let her and Xiaoling live a good life.

Xu Erlong handed the plastic sandals he bought today to Xiaoling again.

Xu Xiaoling took the plastic sandals and was extremely happy.

"Try it on and see if it fits."

"What are you trying to do? Look at her feet. They are covered in mud." Zhang Jinfang said.

Xu Xiaoling said: "I'm going to wash my feet."

She hurriedly walked to the back of the house, went to the stone jar, fetched water, and washed her feet carefully.

After washing it three times, the mud on my feet was finally washed away.

It's just a country boy. No matter how he washes himself, his skin is still dark, and the top of his feet is also dark.

After washing, she put on new plastic sandals and a new Liang shirt she bought today. She stood in front of Xu Erlong with some shyness: "Second brother, do you look good?"

"Good-looking." Xu Erlong replied.

The size he estimated was very suitable, and both clothes and shoes fit perfectly.

And Xiaoling, who is now at the age where she loves beauty, became even happier when she heard the compliments about her beauty. She pursed her lips and kept having fun.

Seeing Zhang Jinfang coming out of the back room, Xiaoling shook her pigtails and asked her: "Mom, aren't you trying on clothes? Why don't you try them on?"

"I tried it." Zhang Jinfang said, "The clothes fit me."

"Put it on if it suits you." Xu Erlong said with a smile.

"No, no, no." Zhang Jinfang waved her hands repeatedly: "I have to do things every day, collecting eels and other things, and I'm all dirty, so just wear these old clothes. Save the new clothes for the New Year."

Xu Erlong was speechless. Should I keep this clothes for the New Year?

Is it because winter is not cold enough, so you need to wear some good-quality clothes inside to feel the warmth?

Forget it, he won't persuade me anymore.

When he starts a clothing business, Xiaoling and her mother will be able to wear so many clothes at will.

"Is Xu Erlong here?" A voice came from outside the door.

Xu Erlong got up and walked out of the door.

Standing at the door was Zhou Guofu. He was thin and small, with his hands behind his back, like an old cadre.

"It turns out that you moved here to live, which makes it easier for me to find you." Zhou Guofu said, walking into the house familiarly without being greeted.

"In-laws, please sit down quickly." When Zhang Jinfang saw him, she wiped a bamboo bench with a rag and asked him to sit down.

Zhou Guofu is Zhou Ya's father, so Zhang Jinfang calls him that.

Then, Zhang Jinfang, with the caution and earnestness typical of rural women, asked Xiaoling to pour water for Zhou Guofu, and then hurriedly handed him a cattail leaf fan to fan him.

Seeing Xu Erlong standing there with an unenthusiastic attitude, Zhang Jinfang quietly winked at Xu Erlong.

Hey, my son is usually very clever, but now, when his future father-in-law comes to visit, he has such an attitude and ignores him.

"My dear, do you want to smoke? Erlong, come here and light a fire for me." Zhang Jinfang said and handed one of the cigarettes he had at home to Zhou Guofu.

Zhou Guofu took the cigarette, squinted slightly, and looked it over: "Others say Xu Erlong is rich now, but I still don't believe it. Looking at it now, he is really rich, and he actually smokes the front door."

Zhang Jinfang smiled apologetically, but she was still quite proud: "He's just messing around."

"The main reason why I came today is this. School is about to start, and Zhou Ya is going to report to the university. Your family, how should I say it, should also show its support to help Zhou Ya with her travel expenses and living expenses."

Xu Erlong laughed angrily: "What did you say?"

"What did I say?" Zhou Guofu's voice became louder and he said confidently: "Of course I want you to collect travel expenses for Zhou Ya. My Zhou Ya is a college student. I don't dislike you, a poor boy. Are you still not satisfied? Don't even think about it.

Tell me, your future wife is a college student, it’s such a respectable thing, but you are still so ignorant that you want me to come to your door to urge you?"

Zhang Jinfang was anxious: "In-laws, no, it doesn't matter. If Zhou Ya can be admitted to university, of course we will be proud..."

"Mom." Xu Erlong stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Jinfang to stop talking.

He suppressed his temper and said to Zhou Guofu: "Uncle, didn't Zhou Ya tell you when she came back?"

"What did you say?" Zhou Guofu asked.

"She broke off my marriage to me." Xu Erlong replied.

"What?" Zhou Guofu jumped up after hearing this: "When did you say that?"

"I met her outside a while ago, and I told her so." Xu Erlong said lightly.

"She is admitted to college, and will be a college student in the future. She and I have nothing in common, so why not let the marriage that I decided on at the beginning go away. From now on, bridges will return to bridges, and roads will return to their destinations."
