"Yes, very nice. You look so handsome in that outfit." The old lady was incredibly pleased to see Xiao Furen in his new clothes.
"It's all thanks to your excellent skills, Mom." Xiao Furen pushed his bicycle into the courtyard and set its kickstand. He took off his jacket, then ladled some water in the yard to wash his hands before the meal.
'Good tailoring alone isn't enough. The model has to be good-looking too.' The old lady's heart swelled with pride as she gazed at her handsome son-in-law.
When she learned a couple of days ago that her boy was going to work at the county government, she had used fabric her daughter brought home to make him a Zhongshan suit. She picked out a sturdy material to ensure he'd have something presentable for his new job, lest he be looked down upon.
It was clear the old lady doted on Xiao Furen as if he were her own son.
And sure enough, just as she finished the suit, news came about Xiao Furen's job.
