Grandmother's sheepskin jacket
It was an ordinary sheepskin jacket, satin with blue dark flowers, and a word buckle, condensing the friendship between the two generations between the grandmother and the great-grandmother, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
It was a few pieces of sheepskin that his great-grandfather had bought from a leather merchant in Ningxia with copper and silver dollars from his work-study in Xi'an, and brought them back to Jiang Wangli's hometown and asked the tailor to make a leather jacket for his great-grandmother.
In the cold winter months of decades, it is with this leather jacket that the grandmother and the great-grandmother and daughter-in-law can survive the winter cold.
In the early 1980s, when my great-grandmother drove the crane to the west, she left this leather jacket to her grandmother. It was accompanied by a leather shoulder that the third grandfather had made for his great-grandmother.
In the cold years on the banks of the Wei River. There is such a leather jacket, condensing the emotions of the two generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, these are just two ordinary leather jackets and shoulders, but in my heart, these two leather goods embody the love of the family.
With such a friendship, our family has come to recover from the crisis, although it is a leather jacket, but it has the irreplaceable glory of other down jackets.
After entering the 1920s, where can children understand this warm and beautiful family history, as well as this heart-warming memory!
