"Oh, that's it!" said Makoto nonchalantly, "no wonder you're so happy! Mom said that a woman is always missing a piece of clothing in her closet, right?"

"Is there such a saying?" Grandma is very interested, this sentence sums up very well, no wonder I have to care whether the little girl or the old woman, as long as I buy and buy, I will be happy from the bottom of my heart? I think that when I was young, I could make the cheapest cheongsam on Xia Fei Road, and I couldn't sleep with joy. At that time, I stupidly thought that those big ladies who go to dress every day should be so happy to have beautiful clothes full of wardrobes!

Later, he got married, married to Zhou's father, who was also a worker, and at that time it had been liberated, and no one wore skirts to swagger through the market, that was the tail of capitalism, and it was to be criticized if it was caught! Besides, the houses of those big families were all allocated to the workers by the government, and those big ladies seemed to disappear overnight. Looking back, it's been years since I've seen so many beautiful styles like this.

As early as ten years ago, everyone couldn't afford to buy a really good shirt, so they had to make all kinds of fake collars to wear ......," Zhou's mother sighed.

"Grandma, what is a fake collar, isn't it made of cloth?" asked Sei Cheng curiously. "Fake collar, there is only one collar, worn in the clothes, with few materials, people still think it is a new dress!" Zhou's mother patiently answered her grandson's question.

The fake collar is not fake, in fact, it is a real collar, also known as a saving collar, an economic collar, it only takes the collar of the shirt, there is a placket and a back piece, there are also buttonholes, and the upper part of the shirt is retained, the sleeves and the body are omitted, only two cloth belts are used to cover the arms, and they are worn inside, so they are not a real clothes. Before the reform and opening up, due to the poverty of material life, people had to buy things with tickets, and clothing was supplied with cloth tickets according to the capitation, and there were so many cloth tickets a year, and they couldn't take care of underwear when they bought outerwear.

"If you are poor, you will think about change", Puhai people first made a fake collar with a scrap of cloth, and the scrap cloth did not need to be supplied by ticket, so this clever approach quickly became popular all over the country. When you wear a false collar, the exposed collar part is exactly the same as the shirt, giving the impression that you are wearing a structured shirt. Wearing a white and clean fake collar inside, a green military uniform or a tunic on the outside, and then buttoning the style and discipline, it was the most standard men's dress of that era. Until now, there are still a few fake collars left by Zhou's father at home!

The fabric of the false collar is also more particular. Ordinary people only use cheap yarn white cloth, and then a little better will choose polyester or really good cloth to do, the collar is bleached and crisp, whenever it is worn, it is always necessary to wash the half-dried false collar, with a large tea jar issued by the factory, fill a jar of boiling water, and iron it back and forth on the collar while it is hot, which saves time and money. Zhou's mother is a person who can live, and all the fake collars made at that time were made of the best and indeed good materials, and Zhou's father wore them out to make other people's eyes hot.

At that time, in order to pull the material of a dress, she forced herself to queue up until noon in the early morning to buy the cloth, went home to make a shirt for the man, and made beautiful fake collars for the children at home with the leftovers. The man had been reluctant to wear that dress, and when he left, it was still brand new, so he let himself wear it for him.

And now, if you want to sew clothes, you have a dizzying variety of fabrics, and you can buy as much as you want. If you are too troublesome to go directly to the clothing company or the first department store, there are all kinds of finished clothes, as long as you have money, the entire counter can be emptied! Today's daughter-in-law's arrogance when shopping, trance reminded Zhou's mother of the envy of those eldest ladies when she was young, and the attitude when she entered and exited the department store - it turned out that unconsciously, she had become such a "wealthy family"?

This realization made Zhou's mother extremely happy. does not deny that she has money in her hands, and her son has never given her less money to spend, and he has never worried about money. But she is used to being thrifty, and she is used to searching all her life, and she doesn't dare to imagine the way to buy like her daughter-in-law, "wrapping it all up", which is distressing!

But the daughter-in-law said that the son will earn back this money in minutes, that is, the daughter-in-law herself, and the money earned by doing a business casually can also buy several shops, and we are not short of money! The daughter-in-law's indifference in money made Zhou's mother smack, but after thinking about it, if I don't help them spend, they will also spend money indiscriminately, so it is better to enjoy it!

I don't know why, looking at the large and small packaging bags, I feel inexplicably better. If you spend too much, you will become numb, and you will not calculate and calculate like buying a dress. The daughter-in-law also said, "Now the style here is still relatively old-fashioned, and after a while, Zhou Pin is free, let's go to Hong Kong Island together, I heard that the clothes over there are all synchronized with the international!"

In the past, there was a sister in the factory who had overseas relations, but in fact, there was a distant relative on Hong Kong Island, and she was shaking at that time! I was so embarrassed to get any electronic watches and jackets, but in fact, I had never been there in my life, and it was as if it was her home, which made Zhou's mother look down on it the most. Now, hmph, she will go to find someone tomorrow to catch up, and she is going to travel to Hong Kong Island, do you want to bring something?

Belch...... Yang Xiaobei said that her mother-in-law's thinking has progressed too fast, and she can't stop yelling, as if she has opened some unbelievable doors......

When Zhou Pinzheng came back this time, he was almost blinded by his mother. Zhou's mother hurriedly greeted him and said that she had made an appointment, and she didn't even bother to eat and went away with a gust of fragrant wind, leaving her son messy in the wind - the old lady with curly hair, fashionable coats, and small leather boots walking fast was her simple old lady?

Yang Xiaobei looked helpless, "Isn't it your mother, my mother-in-law?" husband, I seem to have been brainwashed too thoroughly, making my mother-in-law a different person......

That's right, when Yang Xiaobei showed her mother-in-law the way to spend money "our family is not bad now", it opened the door to a new world for her mother-in-law. The hair is done with the latest perm, the clothes are bought with the most fashionable coats, and what next?

Of course, she went out to show off! My mother-in-law suddenly found out that our family was so rich! Our family was already a wealthy family! Those who used to be the objects of her envy had already surpassed them! What had she been keeping a low profile in the past few years? How much fun had she missed?

As a woman who used to be high-profile and felt good about herself, she has been silent for a long time after repeated blows such as the early death of her husband and the departure of her son. has been so long that she is not in the rivers and lakes, and there is no legend of her in the rivers and lakes. Now she, Wang Aying, is back!
