"Haha, my dear, you got up really late today. The person Brother Tang Lin sent to collect the ginseng already took it away. Here’s the money we got from selling the ginseng," Jiang Changhai explained.
"We made that much money? It’s only been a few hours since they ca. That’s really early," Jiang Mianmian glanced at the clock and murmured softly.
"A whole fifteen hundred yuan. They gave quite a scare when they showed up, I didn’t expect them to co so early. But no matter, the money is real. I’ll give it to your second uncle and third uncle the next ti I’m off work. Our family can share five hundred yuan. My dear, if there’s anything you want to eat or buy, just tell Dad, and I’ll buy it for you."
With money in hand, Jiang Changhai wanted to treat his daughter well. He was willing to satisfy any of her desires, no matter what they were.
But before Jiang Mianmian could speak, Su Wanyu ca out with a bowl of noodle soup.
She disapprovingly looked at Jiang Changhai and said, "Brother Hai, you really shouldn’t spoil the child like this. She’s still young, and we shouldn’t let her develop a habit of getting whatever she wants."
"Right, right, you’re absolutely right, wife. I’ll give all the money to you, and we’ll buy whatever you say," he said.
Jiang Changhai hastily presented the still-warm money with both hands and winked at Jiang Mianmian, as if to say, "Sorry, my dear. Your mom is too fierce. Even your dad has to listen to her."
This made Jiang Mianmian burst out laughing.
Su Wanyu took the money and then told Jiang Mianmian, "Dear, if there’s sothing you like or want, just wait until you get first place in your exams next ti, and then, as a gift, Mom and Dad will give it to you."
"Hmm, I understand, Mom. I have everything I need right now, and there’s nothing I want," Jiang Mianmian said, very sensibly.
After breakfast, Jiang Changhai headed to work, and with nothing to do at ho, Jiang Mianmian, looking at Su Wanyu sitting and reading a magazine, suddenly felt inspired to make her mom a cheongsam. She thought her mom’s figure would look great in it.
No sooner said than done, Jiang Mianmian went to find a tape asure and dashed towards her mom.
"Oh my, my dear, what are you planning to do? Murder your biological mother?" Su Wanyu, caught by surprise and embraced fully by Jiang Mianmian, struggled to lift her daughter off herself and protested.
Holding the tape asure, Jiang Mianmian giggled and said, "Hehe, Mom, you’ve got wrong. I want to make you a cheongsam and need to take your asurents."
"A cheongsam?" Su Wanyu, always loving to look beautiful, perked up upon hearing this.
"That’s great, co on, hurry and asure ," Su Wanyu stood up eagerly, stretching out her arms in readiness.
Being short, Jiang Mianmian couldn’t reach her mom’s head and had to stand on a stool, struggling to take the asurents before she went off to draw the design.
After finishing the design, they both went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy the fabric. Su Wanyu, following her daughter’s design, began making the dress on her sewing machine.
The mother and daughter spent two days on it and finally crafted a beautiful cheongsam.
That evening, when Jiang Changhai ca ho, Su Wanyu, beautifully dressed in the cheongsam, stood at the door to greet him.
Upon seeing Su Wanyu, Jiang Changhai’s eyes popped open: "Wow, wife, why are you so beautiful today?"
After saying this, he couldn’t help himself and imdiately kissed Su Wanyu.
"Ahem, Dad, mind it, I’m still here," Jiang Mianmian playfully clenched her little fisted hand and lightly coughed twice.
