Upon hearing Mu Jingzhe mention sandals, the children looked down at their shoes.
The shoes they were wearing were cloth shoes but not the rubber-sole kind.
Rubber-sole cloth shoes and cloth shoes were the best shoes in the countryside, but sneakers were popular in the city.
White, fashionable sneakers were more fashionable than rubber-sole cloth shoes. Everyone was proud to wear sneakers. Most of the students who came to the art school came from good families, so most of them wore sneakers.
Last week, when Mu Jingzhe had discovered this, she had wanted to buy them for the kids. However, the children were unwilling and had said that their shoes were new and that she didn't have to buy them new ones.
As they had yet to buy sneakers, the children were wearing cloth shoes in the rain.
