Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Wearing New Leather Shoes
Jiang Mianmian caught her father’s glance and pouted, feigning reluctance, “Alright then, I will try hard to get a hundred percent.”
After a satisfying meal, Jiang Changhai, with his daughter and wife in tow, headed straight for the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Seeing that he didn’t come alone this time, the fabric salesperson at the cooperative joked with a laugh, “Comrade Jiang, I finally get to meet your wife and daughter you’ve mentioned.”
“No wonder you treasure them so much, this fairy-like wife and angelic daughter of yours; anyone would cherish them.”
Jiang Changhai felt even happier than if he’d been praised himself when someone complimented his wife and daughter, “Haha, girl, you aren’t mistaken. My wife is not only fairy-like in appearance, but she’s also very skillful with her hands. Look at the clothes my daughter is wearing; they were all made by my wife.”
Remembering the milk coupons Jiang Changhai had helped her with, the salesperson was willing to flatter him to make him happy, “Is that so? These clothes are really beautiful, hardly distinguishable from the ready-made clothes we sell here.”
Su Wanyu felt pleased when her own handiwork was complimented.
Although she knew her skills couldn’t compare to ready-made garments, who wouldn’t like to hear words of praise? She elegantly smiled and nodded to the salesperson, “Hello, comrade.”
Seeing how well she praised others, Jiang Changhai said almost casually, “Exactly, these clothes were a gift from her mom and me for our girl scoring first in her grade.”
“Wow, the young lady is so impressive, scoring first in the grade! Comrade Jiang, you are truly fortunate,” said the salesperson as she gave Jiang Changhai a thumbs-up.
After boasting about his wife and daughter, Jiang Changhai pointed at the various clothes hanging on the wall and turned to Su Wanyu, “Wife, take a look at which outfit you like. This time, let’s just buy ready-made clothes and save ourselves the hassle.”
At his words, Su Wanyu’s eyes crinkled with joy. She took her time choosing and eventually picked a white dress with small flowers, “Brother Hai, do you think this one looks nice?”
“Beautiful. You’ll definitely look great in it,” Jiang Changhai nodded enthusiastically. His wife was not only handsome but also fair-skinned, and she looked good in anything.
“Girl, wrap up that dress for me,” Jiang Changhai said without even asking the price.
After buying the dress, Jiang Changhai’s gaze shifted to the shiny leather shoes on display, “How do we buy these shoes?”
“Comrade Jiang has a good eye,” the salesperson said with a smile.
“These leather shoes are all transported from Haicheng, made entirely of cowhide. The soles are soft, too, ensuring comfort with every step. The quality is also good, they won’t wear out no matter how you use them. We’ve been selling a lot of these. Tell me which you like, and I’ll show them to you.”
Su Wanyu and Jiang Mianmian were glued to the selection, unable to look away. No woman could resist beautiful clothes and shoes.
Thus, each of them picked a pair of little leather shoes. Wearing them, their steps clicked with a fashionable and lovely sound.
The shoes were truly comfortable to wear and looked pretty, too.
But the price was indeed steep; two pairs of leather shoes cost nearly twenty yuan.
Jiang Changhai, however, waved his hand generously and declared, “Buy!”
Jiang Mianmian, holding the little leather shoes, felt overwhelming emotion. After so many years, she could finally wear little leather shoes again.
No more wearing cloth shoes that were suffocating in summer and leaked in winter.
“Husband, you should buy a pair of leather shoes too. The three of us each with a pair, just think how classy we’ll look when we step outside,” Su Wanyu persuaded. She also felt sorry for her man.
