Xie Changning hadn't expected the two little ones to cry. She was surprised. "What's this? Can't handle being in debt at such a young age?"
Xie Changning's words made them both laugh.
In the end, they each bought two sets of underwear—the kind girls wore these days.
Huo Xiaoqian had one old set, washed so many times the pattern had faded completely. As for Yue Yang, she had never even seen such a thing.
Worried they would feel burdened, Xie Changning bought them two sets each so they'd have one to wear while the other was being washed.
Next were menstrual belts (China's first sanitary pad production line was only introduced in the 1980s), toiletries, and paper and pens.
"We don't need shoes. I know how to make them. I can use old clothes to make them when I'm not studying."
Just as Xie Changning was about to buy them cloth shoes, Yue Yang stopped her.
She knew how to make shoes and didn't want Xie Changning to spend more money.
