Chapter 45: A Family of Three
"Mother, we have money!" Zhang Hai knew that his mother thought that this dress was a bit expensive.
But I didn't think it at all, after all, it was for my mother, and she came to the city, so I must buy her something better.
But if she is too expensive, she has a way, so she can buy it quietly.
"Don't spend money indiscriminately, my mother doesn't like this material, and the color is too fancy, and my mother doesn't look good in it. ”
Although Mrs. Zhang still wanted to buy it at first, as soon as she heard this price, her desire just now completely disappeared.
I've never bought such expensive fabrics in my life, and there's no need to spend so much money on dressing, if you eat better, you can understand that it's not necessary to spend so much money in order to wear it.
"Mother, listen to me, I told you everything, the master of the house gave us silver, and the master of the house said that if he could not spend it, he would not give it to me. ”
Zhang Hai knew where his mother's weakness was, and when he saw him say this, his mother paused, and at first his mother had been pulling Zhang Hai, even if she was standing there and talking, she was still working hard.
But after hearing this, Mrs. Zhang did not drive in, but stood there and pondered, he fell in love with the cloth, which was the clothes she wanted to wear most when she was young.
It's not that I don't have this money to buy clothes to wear, but I just think that I want to do something better for my children and husband, and I always have to save some money to marry my daughter-in-law.
Nowadays, it is not easy for girls to marry, and if the family really has no savings at all, how can they find a daughter-in-law? She is still looking forward to holding her eldest grandson.
"That'...... Then you can buy yourself a better piece of cloth and make clothes for yourself, don't buy it for your mother, who is old and doesn't need to be so bells and whistles. ”
Mrs. Zhang is still resisting there, but it is not as fierce as before, since she wants to spend the money, then give it to her son or her husband.
And this world is originally dominated by men and women, although Zhang Hai and Steward Zhang don't think so, but Mrs. Zhang thinks so, this kind of inferiority has gone deep into the bones, and it can't be uprooted.
"Mother, don't force me, you are my mother, how can I only take care of myself, you have given me the best since I was a child, and now that I have money, I must also want to give you the best!"
Zhang Hai told his mother with tears in his eyes that he knew what his mother was like to him since he was a child, so he always wanted to be good to his mother, but he didn't have the opportunity.
Now that the opportunity has come, how can I say that I will let it go, even if my mother refuses to do anything, I have to handle this matter well.
"Hai'er, I know that you are filial to your mother, otherwise, you can buy it for your father!" Lady Zhang wanted to divert Zhang Hai's attention to her husband.
"Mother~ Don't be like this, come to the shopkeeper, now measure my mother's size, and use this fabric to make clothes." Zhang Hai didn't care about his mother's attitude, so he told the shopkeeper directly.
This shopkeeper is also the first time to see such a filial child, because there are too many people who bully their mothers and oppress them in this society.
This shopkeeper is also a woman, so he feels very relieved to look at Zhang Hai now, and he took a ruler over and began to measure Zhang Hai's mother's shoulders.
Although Mrs. Zhang was a little resistant, she still stood in place, letting the shopkeeper measure it, and her heart was also very pantothenic.
Her children have grown up and know how to honor themselves, and they are not like the kind of bastard children of other people's families at all, what Mrs. Zhang doesn't know is that she is good to Zhang Hai, and Zhang Hai sees it in her eyes.
That's why she should enjoy everything her son has done to her as a matter of course, these are what Zhang Hai should do.
"Madam, you are very suitable for this color! I can definitely make it very beautiful for you!" The shopkeeper saw Zhang Hai with filial piety.
I made up my mind directly, I want to do it seriously for this Zhang woman, and I don't charge them for manual fees, and the usual clothes are indeed only five taels of silver.
But this time, I want to work hard, and I make it for this Zhang woman, she is still a little famous for making clothes in this part of Dingyuan City.
Many people have to customize it with him, especially those who are famous nobles in Dingyuan City.
"Then it's a problem for the shopkeeper. Zhang Hai agreed directly.
I also paid very happily, and I also picked a piece of fabric for my father, my father worked very hard there every day, and he must wear comfortable clothes when he was busy.
"Father, this cloth is very comfortable, mother, what do you think, use this cloth to make clothes for your father!" Zhang Hai asked his mother, after all, Jiang is still old and spicy, let his mother see how this fabric is.
"I think this fabric is very comfortable, it's okay! Then please ask the shopkeeper how much it costs?" Mrs. Zhang directly asked the shopkeeper about the price of this fabric.
She didn't directly say that she did it for her husband, because the shopkeeper had been standing next to them all the time and knew what they were talking about, so she didn't need to introduce more.
"This is also the same price!" The shopkeeper also thinks that this sea is good, this price is the same, and when he looks at this sea, he doesn't have that kind of idea of male superiority and inferiority.
There is no need to deliberately raise the price of the boy's clothes, others buy clothes for their father first, because they feel that their mother's status is lower, so they buy them for their mother last, and the price must not be higher than that of themselves and their father.
Zhang Hai directly asked his mother to pick out clothes as soon as he came, so this shopkeeper was very optimistic about Zhang Hai, and sure enough, this shopkeeper didn't look at the wrong person.
"Father, what do you think, I made it for you with this fabric!" Zhang Hai asked his father, what if he didn't like it, if he didn't like it, wouldn't it be a waste to take it back and not wear it.
"I think this is okay, just worthy of your mother!" Although the Zhang family and his wife have been married for so many years, their relationship has not been worn out by these firewood, rice, oil and salt.
But he became more and more affectionate, so Steward Zhang wanted to give them a better family, so he indulged in the housekeeping business every day.
And Mrs. Zhang also dutifully took care of Zhang Hai at home to grow up, the only thing that made him feel a little chilling was that Zhang Hai's body was indeed a little frail and sickly.
