At the other weekend, my roommate and I went to go shopping hand in hand, like many other young ladies in this city. When it was late, we had bought a pair of Nike shoes, a pair of Gucci sunglasses (of course copy ones), two T-shirts and two pairs of earrings. After that, my friend left her sharp eyes on a new style silk shirt in a display window. Though it’s very expensive, she fell in love with it at first sight. And finally, she slotted her credit card and took it home.
But when she was eager to put the cherish shirt on, we found there was a thread hole on the back. The problem was not very big so we decided to ask the sewing mid-age woman who did sewing work at the gate of a department store. This was our first time to get close to the woman though we often saw her at the gate.
After carefully examine the shirt, the mid-aged woman began to scold us ceaselessly. Like a garrulous mother, she spoke very fast and complained our lack of experience and carelessness. And even became angry and did not want to help us mend the small hole. Both my friend and I felt very strange and even wronged because we had never known each other before. So we felt a little angry and kept silent. Moments later, the mother like woman began to give her suggestions and sewed a piece of small cloth inside the shirt. Minutes later, the shirt became bright and more beautiful. She only charged us 5 RMB as a reward.
After I talked about this to another girl friend, she said: “she is really a mother who is more bark than bite!” Now, mother’s day is coming, I wish this mother a happy festival and all the best!
