Seventy's delicate and fierce daughter-in-law

Chapter 123 A sense of financial crisis

"You really don't want this stylish dress?"

After Wang Sijing finally finished shopping for her own things, taking advantage of Xu Dongming's blurry eyesight, she directly dragged him to a shop selling men's clothing.

I plan to pick out two new clothes for the men too.

Except for a few military uniforms, Xu Dongming's clothes have been patched, and one can tell how neglected he was when he was at home.

She had bought him a pair of suits a long time ago.

It's a pity that neither the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village nor the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town have very few ready-made clothes.

Rural women in this era are good at needlework, and Wang Sijing is also good at stitching wounds, but when it comes to making clothes, her eyes are smeared and she can't do it at all.

In addition, neither the original mother nor the mother-in-law can be relied upon. If she wants to learn, she can't find a suitable place to learn, and she has no time to learn. Buying cloth and making clothes by herself is destined to be out of luck for her.

In the same way, buying wool and knitting sweaters by myself also said goodbye to her.

As for the few poor ready-made clothes, she will not talk about them. She would rather not spend so much money on the most old-fashioned styles and colors and the fabrics that have been grayed for some time.

The ones in the shopping mall are different. Although they are not big and there are not many styles, at least they are all new if they pass the quality test.

Wang Sijing's efforts for a while gave Xu Dongming a fancy cashmere coat. The slim-fitting Xu Dongming's thin and fleshy figure definitely looks good in it.

It's a pity that Xu Dongming didn't cooperate.

"I have it, you can choose for yourself." Xu Dongming refused. When he was discharged from the army, he still had two sets of military uniforms that he had only worn a few times. Both of them were of good quality, and they would not break if they continued to wear them for five or six years.

He doesn't need new clothes.

Wang Sijing refused.

"No, after finally coming to the county, Mengmeng and I have sold new clothes, but you have nothing. If you say it, others will not blame me. If you don't think about yourself, think about my reputation."

"After a few fights with my mother and your mother, people in the village complained about me, and now they will even say something when I go back."

Wang Sijing pretended to be pitiful.

"I won't go back." Xu Dongming refuted her back with just three words.

Wang Sijing was at a loss for words.

She forgot that Xu Dongming said earlier that he would not return to the village this New Year.

But that didn't bother her.

"Take it for me. Believe me, this coat must look good on you. Most of your clothes are green army coats. It's troublesome to wash. Just take it as a way to reduce my burden."

The army coat is not enough to keep warm, but it is really heavy when it is picked up in the water. The full cotton is really full of water, and there is no discount at all.

"I'll wash it." Xu Dongming said again.

Wang Sijing was ashamed, well, Xu Dongming did wash most of the thick clothes in Dongdong's house, only once or twice when she was too busy and free, but would you like to say it directly?

The eldest sister next to me looked at me in the wrong way, can my eldest brother save some face for others?

"Mengmeng, do you think this dress looks good on your father? Let's buy a new dress for your father, shall we?"

The big ones didn't make sense, so Wang Sijing turned to attack the small ones.

Mengmeng likes her father the most, and she doesn't believe that she will say bad things.

Her vision is not covered.

"Okay, buy new clothes for Dad too." Mengmeng agreed.

"How did you hear it? Your daughter also thinks this dress is very good. Now you have no excuse to refuse." Wang Sijing looked at Xu Dongming triumphantly.

She wants to see how he will pass on his great principles to his little daughter who is only a few years old.

Xu Dongming was speechless.

He had a hundred reasons for refusing, but looking at his daughter's big clear eyes, he remained silent.

No matter how many reasons there are, they are useless in front of a child with a pure mind and no understanding at all.

He looked at his wife again, and he could already imagine the smug smile in his wife's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Well, just to make his wife and daughter happy.

"En." Xu Dongming slowly responded.

The smile in Wang Sijing's eyes grew stronger, she knew that Xu Dongming couldn't refuse his little girl.

After buying Xu Dongming's coat, Wang Sijing went to buy a pair of thick cotton shoes for old doctor Xu, the kind with cashmere inside, people should keep warm when they are old.

I also bought a pair of thick cotton trousers for Jianguo and Li Peng as a New Year gift, and finally added two cotton coats after thinking about it.

Jianguo didn't lack these clothes, but Li Peng didn't. Most of what he was wearing during this time was Jianguo's old clothes, which had been changed by Dr. Xu's wife.

As for giving Li Peng a set of cotton clothes and trousers alone, Wang Sijing was sure that the boy would never accept it. Although he is small, he has a strong self-esteem. For the sake of the child's mental health, she finally decided to spend a little more money to buy a set for each of them.

After shopping for clothes, I went to buy new year's goods. When Xu Dongming finally walked out of the mall, both hands were full. Wang Sijing held a handbag in one hand and held Mengmeng in the other, sighing while walking.

Still working hard to make money.

This trip to the mall directly cost almost [-] yuan, which almost accounted for less than half of the family's savings.

It can't be like this in the future.

It’s really been a long time since I went shopping, and I couldn’t control my hand to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, no, no, absolutely no.

Wang Sijing, you have to think about your current monthly income of less than fifty, you absolutely can't spend it like this.

"What's wrong?" Xu Dongming couldn't ignore the continuous sighs.

Wang Sijing glanced at the man, and said that Xu Dongming's retirement subsidy still accounts for the majority of the family's current income.

He was in the brigade in the town for only fifty dollars a month, which was the same as his subsidy, and with her salary, their family's income was not too small, but it was a bit stretched to spend in the county town.

It seems that I still have to work hard to save money.

When they really came to the county seat, they would have to spend money everywhere on Mengmeng's tuition fees.

"It's nothing, I just think about it, I can't be like this again in the future, and I bought too many of these things." Wang Sijing still didn't hold back.

Xu Dongming was silent for a while, and said, "I will earn."

"I know, but we still have to learn to be frugal. If we both come to the county during the Chinese New Year, we don't know if the county hospital or the police station will provide flat housing. Cheap."

At that time, the rooms in the economically developed places were not cheap enough to go there.

Wang Sijing glanced at her youngest daughter again.

If you don’t provide accommodation, renting a house has to be considered to be convenient for Mengmeng to go to school. It’s best to find a place close to the county elementary school, that is, a school district room. Can't afford it.

"Okay, okay, leave it alone, let me be alone." Seeing Xu Dongming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Wang Sijing interrupted.
