The Sweetness of the Seventies

Qi Zhengmin's complaints were heard by Grandma Qi San. She couldn't ask Qi Zhengmin directly in front of other people. She would ask him alone when she had a chance.

After listening to the opera and eating, everyone did not go back immediately, but continued to stroll in Chinatown.

When Grandma Qi San passed a tailor shop, she didn't leave.

In China, you can't wear cheongsam, let alone a shop that makes cheongsam.

Qi Shuliang understood, knowing that his mother loved beauty since she was young. Even if the family didn't have the conditions later, Grandma Qi San would make clothes more beautiful. Even for the patches on her body, her mother would cut out the shape of flowers and patch them up, instead of the big square patches like others.

"Mom, let's go, son will make clothes for you." Qi Shuliang smiled. This tailor shop is handmade, and the most famous one is cheongsam.

My mother likes cheongsam the most!

Those who didn't show filial piety to my mother in the past will be patched up in the future, and whatever style I like will be made!

This remark made Grandma Qi San feel happy, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make two cheongsams. Oh, by the way, how about we all make them and take a family photo when the time comes?"

"Okay!" Qi Shuliang said, "As long as you like it, we'll make it."

Grandma Qi San was very happy to hear her son's words, and she entered the tailor shop with the help of her son.

Seeing that there were customers coming, the apprentice came forward to greet them.

"Madam, we have everything you like here!" the apprentice introduced, "Please come in, please come in!"

"Thank you." Grandma Qi San smiled and walked inside.

The shop was not very big, but it was decorated quite elegantly.

At this time, a woman in her forties came out and smiled, "Madam, there are plastic models here with various styles on them."

Grandma Qi San followed and took a look. She chose a crimson one, which was a little darker than the bright red color and had a little light on it. She also chose a printed one with a blue background and magnolia flowers, which was brighter and more beautiful than the one she had before.

"Anna, do you want to buy one?" asked Grandma Qi San. She was afraid that Anna was a foreigner and didn't like to wear cheongsam.

"These clothes are very beautiful. I want to buy one too. Mom, what do you think is suitable for me?" Anna saw that her mother-in-law liked cheongsam very much, and such clothes were indeed very beautiful, with smooth fabrics, like baby's skin.

Her husband was Chinese, and he might also like to see her wearing cheongsam.

Grandma Qi San looked Anna up and down. She was tall and had fair skin. She chose a red plaid one, which was bright and lively, and said, "This one is good. You will look good in it."

Anna nodded and said, "Then let's take this one!"

"Grandma, Grandma, I want one too. Please help me choose one too. I want to be beautiful too." Qi Zhengmin asked on the side. The clothes here are very beautiful and she wants to wear them.

Finally, Grandma Qi San picked a medium-length pink cheongsam for Qi Zhengmin, which was tender and cute.

He Tiantian's cheongsam was off-white, fresh and elegant, and delicate and graceful.

Qi Shuliang hadn't worn a long gown for a long time. He and his son each made one.

After paying the deposit, I came to pick up the clothes a week later.

The happy weekend passed. Qi Shuliang had to go to work, Anna had to participate in charity activities, Qi Zhengmin and Qi Zhenghan had to go to school. Only Grandma Qi San and He Tiantian were left at home.

Bored, He Tiantian said, "Grandma, can I take you out for a walk?"

"No, with my bound feet, I can only walk around the house. If I walk too much outside, my feet will be tired." Grandma Qi San sighed, "It would be great if I had big feet. As long as I am healthy, I won't feel tired no matter how far I walk!"

This is the sadness of bound feet!

It is also the sadness of women in that era!

He Tiantian looked at her own feet. Although they were not big, they were not bound. They were a pair of healthy feet that could take her a long way.

She couldn't walk, but she could buy a wheelchair. She pushed Grandma Qi San around.

So He Tiantian told the housekeeper to buy a wheelchair.

Now everyone in the family knows that Grandma Qi San is Qi Shuliang's mother. They dare not neglect her. In the afternoon, she bought a wheelchair.

"Grandma, come sit on it and try it. I'll push you out for a walk." He Tiantian said. She knew that Grandma Qi San was a person who liked novelty. She felt sorry that she couldn't go out for a walk due to physical reasons, but she was embarrassed to ask others for help.

"This chair has wheels, which is quite special." Grandma Qi San was interested, "What is this?"

He Tiantian supported Grandma Qi San and said, "This is a wheelchair. People with bad legs and feet use this. When the road is flat, I push you; when it is not flat, I carry you on my back."

Grandma Qi San sat on it and could turn the two wheels below with both hands.

"Huh?" Grandma Qi San found that she could also turn it, "This is a good thing! Not bad, not bad, let's go out for a walk!"

"Okay!" He Tiantian agreed.

When the housekeeper heard that the old lady was going out, he sent six bodyguards to follow her to ensure her safety.

He Tiantian brought a New York travel guide and found the Statue of Liberty.

Because of the bodyguards, He Tiantian didn't have to worry about her safety.

"Grandma, the stone statue in front is the Statue of Liberty, which is very famous. Almost everyone who comes to New York will come to see this statue." He Tiantian said, explaining to Grandma Qi San.

"This statue is of great significance!" Grandma Qi San nodded, "Tiantian, do you have a camera?"

"I've brought it, I've brought it. Why don't I bring a camera when I'm traveling?" He Tiantian said with a smile, "Come on, grandma, stand still and I'll take a photo for you."

He Tiantian took a picture of Grandma Qi San, then handed the camera to a bodyguard beside her and said, "Please take a group photo of the two of us, and then take a solo photo of me."

"Okay." The bodyguard agreed happily.

The wind was very strong at the beach. After taking pictures, He Tiantian said: "Grandma, let's go. It's windy here and a bit cold. It won't be good if you catch a cold."

"Well, okay, where should we go next?" Grandma Qi San asked, very energetic.

"The next one is..." He Tiantian said the most famous museum.

They had lunch outside.

I went to the supermarket again in the afternoon and once again felt the satisfaction brought by the dazzling array of products.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, they returned home.

Qi Shuliang and Anna returned home and asked their mother if they had fun outside today.

"Happy, you guys are busy with your work. I have a wheelchair. Tiantian takes me around. It's good." Grandma Qi San didn't want her arrival to disturb her son and daughter-in-law.

Qi Shuliang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard." He Tiantian smiled and said, "I also want to go shopping. Besides, there are bodyguards here, so it's not tiring at all."
