Chapter 38 Leather Shoes

"Oh my God, show, these are leather shoes!" Zhou Shuilian took the leather shoes and gently wiped them with her hands. This is a good thing. When she entered the city, she saw people passing by in the city. She really never touched them before.

"Where did it come from?" Zhou Shuilian looked through carefully and suddenly thought of this question.

"Our shoes are broken, so I'll buy a pair for each one. Mom, how do you see if I wear them?" Mu Xiu said as she put on her leather shoes, stood up and walked around the house. The shoes were quite comfortable to wear.

"Good, Xiu, how much does these shoes cost?" Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu wearing shiny leather shoes and thought they looked very beautiful.

"It's not expensive, seventeen yuan per pair, these two pairs cost thirty-four yuan." Mu Xiu was immersed in the joy of wearing new shoes. She looked at her toes that were finally no longer exposed and replied casually.

"What! It's so expensive! You can take it and return it quickly!" Zhou Shuilian trembled and handed the shoes to Mu Xiu quickly.

"Mom, what are we wearing after we return? My shoes and your shoes are no longer worn! This is what I bought and given to you, and I earned myself!" Mu Xiucai was unwilling to continue wearing broken shoes that were all holes.

"Xiu, mom knows that you can make money, so you will give up your mother's pair. Mom can make shoes by herself. Our family still owe so much money outside, so you can't be too loose..." Zhou Shuilian said softly in the face of Mu Xiu's tough attitude.

"Good boy, you should retreat, otherwise when you go back, others will still owe a lot of debts when they see me wearing such good shoes, and they will definitely poke my backbone." Zhou Shuilian looked at Mu Xiu, who was silent and continued.

"Okay, I understand." Mu Xiu took the leather shoes handed over by Zhou Shuilian in depressedly, then took off her leather shoes and put them in the basket. Zhou Shuilian was right. If the mother and daughter were wearing such eye-catching leather shoes, they would definitely be verbal.

It is really sad to be poor. Poverty is the root of all sins. Because of poverty, others can accuse them of being thieves at will. Because of poverty, people are always looked down upon when they go out. Because of poverty, even wearing good shoes is like making a mistake. Mu Xiu secretly decided to make his family rich and no longer be afraid of being pointed at by wearing a pair of leather shoes.

Seeing Mu Xiu's look a little depressed in an instant, Zhou Shuilian felt very upset. For a moment, both the mother and daughter were silent.

"Xiu, do you think this dress looks good?" Zhou Shuilian took out a short-sleeved shirt made of maroon plaid from several clothes folded beside the pillow, took out a pair of blue and sturdy pants, and handed it to Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu took it and saw that although the style of the clothes was so old that it was about to lose teeth, the fabric had already faded due to washing many times. The original maroon looked a bit like rust, and the blue pants were also a little white.

However, this is also a rare good dress, and there is no patch at all.

While Mu Xiu was looking at the clothes, Zhou Shuilian explained: "These are the clothes your aunt brought. I looked at them. Your aunt is tall and looks smaller. I will put away the other clothes for you. I will wait for you to wear them in two years. These are all good clothes, so you can try it."

Both of these clothes on Mu Xiu were patched, and she had long since wanted to wear them, but because she didn't have a cloth ticket, otherwise she would have pulled new cloth to make clothes.

Therefore, although the clothes were a bit old, they were much better than the clothes Mu Xiu was wearing, so Mu Xiu cooperated to change into "new" clothes.

"Fit, so fit, Xiu, so handsome, you are so handsome in this outfit." Zhou Shuilian praised Mu Xiu with great satisfaction after watching him put on neat clothes.

In fact, Mu Xiu's clothes were still rustic and shabby in the eyes of the city people, but in Zhou Shuilian's eyes, her daughter was so beautiful that she was shining and handsome.

"Mom, didn't my dad say that my aunt brought you some clothes? You can try it too."

"My mother has clothes to wear, and all these clothes are left for you to wear when you grow up."

Although they are all Zhou Dujuan's old clothes, Zhou Shuilian still couldn't bear to wear them. Seeing Mu Xiu's approaching becoming a big girl, it's time to dress up neatly and beautifully. Mu Xiu will wear these clothes in two years.

After hearing this, Mu Xiu felt speechless. When she grew up... she would not wear these clothes!

"Xiu, where did you come from this book?" Zhou Shuilian looked at him after washing up, Mu Xiu sat on a chair beside the bed, flipping through a book.

"I went out to buy vegetables today, I picked them up on the way." Mu Xiu said casually.

"Do you know the words?" Zhou Shuilian asked in disbelief when she saw Mu Xiu's concentration on reading.

"Well, when I went out to cut pig grass, I went to the window behind the village primary school to cut it. I listened to the teacher's lecture for a while. Over the past few years, I have recognized some words." Mu Xiu had already thought of the reasons for explaining to himself.

"Show... Mom is incompetent, so you are wronged." Zhou Shuilian's eyes turned red. There were only a few children in her family, only her two daughters, who had never been to school for a day.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you crying again? I don't feel sad. Why are you sad?" Mu Xiu closed the book and hurried to Zhou Shuilian to comfort her.

"Xiu, when your sister recovers from illness, she will go home and pay off her debts. If you want to study, your mother will support you in school."

"Really?" Mu Xiu was worried about how to study and take the college entrance examination in the future. Zhou Shuilian's words made her excited.

If the little foreign debt is only paid by Mushui and his wife, I don’t know when they will be paid off. But now with Mu Xiu, I guess I will be able to pay it off soon.

"Mom won't lie to you. You've been tired for a day, so hurry up and take a break. Since we have taken the money from the Lu family, we must do a good job." Zhou Shuilian is also a creditworthy person.

"Okay, mom, I understand." Mu Xiu responded obediently, then closed the book, lay down and fell asleep.

Since getting familiar with Lu Niandong's time and rules for eating, Mu Xiu has also learned to make effective use of cooking time. Mu Xiu will prepare the meal the next morning the day before yesterday, put it in the space, and send it directly the next day.

Fortunately, the time in space is still, so what it looks like when put in or when it comes out is still like when it comes out.

Mu Xiu made a large pot of tomato and eggs with mushed lumps, which are nutritious and appetizing.

She left a bowl for Zhou Shuilian, then went to Lu Niandong's ward, gently pushed open the door, put down the insulation box, and prepared to leave.

"You got up so early?" Lu Yuan's voice rang in the slightly bright ward.

"I want to sleep in too, and I don't want to get up, but if I don't get up early and go shopping, how can I explain the food that appears out of thin air..." Mu Xiu complained in his heart, but said softly: "The meat and unusual dishes in the vegetable market will be gone a little later."
