"Third Brother, we're heading back tomorrow. The harvest is in at home, and if we return now, we can earn a few more work points," said the old man Tang.
Ye Fangfei was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly realized that it was hard to come by, so why not stay a few more days?
"Yes, Dad, let's stay a bit longer," Tang Zhicheng chimed in.
"No, there are still more children at home. We're leaving tomorrow," the old man Tang insisted.
"We should go back; only your sister-in-law and a few kids are at home, and we can't rest easy," added Old Lady Tang.
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Tang Zhicheng reluctantly bought them tickets.
He rode off on his bicycle while Ye Fangfei took out the things she had bought from the department store that morning.
"Dad, this is a coat I bought for you. You'll need it when it gets cooler," she said, pulling out a Zhongshan suit for the old man Tang.
Old Lady Tang already knew that Ye Fangfei had bought her clothes, but the old man was unaware.
"Why did you buy me clothes? I'm already half buried in the ground; I don't need new clothes," he replied. Yet despite his words, he couldn't help but fondly touch the new garment.
Not only was the old man fond of it, but Tang Zhiwen and Tang Zhiwu also looked at the brand-new Zhongshan suit with envy.
"Come on, Dad. Just because you're older doesn't mean you can't wear new clothes! This suit is for you," Ye Fangfei noticed how much he truly cherished it.
"This one is for Mom." She handed over the clothes she had bought for Old Lady Tang.
Then she took out several pairs of liberation shoes. "I bought a few pairs of liberation shoes. I asked Mom, and these two pairs will fit your elder brother and second brother."
"This pair is for you, Dad. There are two pairs left; Mom, see if Brother-in-law can wear one. If he can, give him a pair."
"You can decide what to do with the last pair, Mom."
Tang Zhiwen and Tang Zhiwu were surprised that their third brother's wife had bought them gifts as well.
And such precious liberation shoes at that!
"Third Brother's wife, look at this! You even bought us things?"
"We're truly grateful," Tang Zhiwen said emotionally while holding the liberation shoes.
"No need to mention it, big brother. These are defective items that don't require tickets; if they did, I wouldn't have been able to buy them."
"You traveled all this way to attend our wedding; I appreciate it. Buying you a pair of shoes is just a small gesture from me."
"Don't be fooled by the label of 'defective'; it's just some misprints on the soles. It doesn't affect their wear at all."
"This is why my sister-in-law works as a sales clerk in a department store; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to buy these," Ye Fangfei said.
Tang Zhiwen and Tang Zhiwu had always worn shoes made by their family. Now, to have a pair of Liberation shoes bought from a department store was quite rare and precious; they couldn't ask for anything more.
As for the small issues that Ye Fangfei mentioned, they didn't think much of them at all.
"What kind of issue is this? I've never worn shoes like these before!" Tang Zhiwu chuckled.
"Exactly! We came here not only to visit the sights of Beijing but also to eat at a state-run restaurant in the city. And now, the youngest sister-in-law even bought us Liberation shoes. This is enough to brag about for a whole year!" Tang Zhiwen said happily.
Ye Fangfei didn't care how they thought; she simply felt that it wasn't easy for them to come all this way. It would be impolite to send them back empty-handed.
When Tang Zhicheng returned with the tickets and learned that Ye Fangfei had bought clothes for their parents and shoes for his older brothers, he was surprised that she even thought of his brother-in-law, whom she had never met.
He had originally expected her to be a bit naive due to her young age and being pampered at home. He was prepared to be tolerant of her shortcomings.
However, he didn't expect Ye Fangfei to surprise him so much with her thoughtfulness and consideration in dealing with people.
Tang Zhicheng gazed affectionately at Ye Fangfei, his eyes brimming with emotion.
