Just a couple of days after New Year's Day, Lu Jiaxin went to the convenience store to make a phone call and saw Big Sister Chen showing off her newly bought leather shoes to the store owner.
Big Sister Chen lifted her shoe and asked, "Ah Li, looks good, doesn't it?"
Fatty Aunt couldn't take her eyes off the leather shoes, but she said, "What's the use if they look good? They're not warm, and not as good as my cotton shoes!"
Big Sister Chen leaned against the wall with her left hand and took off the shoe with her right hand, peeling it back to reveal the fleece inside: "See? With such thick wool, it's very warm on the feet."
Lu Jiaxin recognized the style of the leather shoe and knew it was one that she'd had a processing factory make. This model used synthetic leather and was the cheapest.
Fatty Aunt touched it and found the fleece both thick and soft, which piqued her interest in buying a pair: "Where did you buy these, and how much per pair?"
