I always liked jewelry, but when I got married, my husband's family was poor, so Sanjin only symbolically bought a smooth gold ring and a thin gold bracelet. Because I didn't get my ears pierced, I saved the gold earrings, which was less than 4 thousand yuan in total.
Now that I think about it, I regret it. Why were you so sensible (stupid) then? Just because my mother-in-law said that there was no money at home and nothing was needed for bride price clothes, it was equivalent to naked marriage. Seeing my mother-in-law wearing a jade bracelet and pearl necklace in recent years, even if I am generous, my heart is always a little sour.
My husband must feel a little guilty about it. He mentioned buying me a gold bracelet several times, but I flatly refused. On the one hand, my skin is cold and yellow, and I don't look good in gold jewelry. Second, it is still poor. A bracelet costs at least 8 thousand yuan, which is equivalent to my salary for two months if I don't eat or drink. With this money, I can buy a train of snacks for my daughter.
But my husband sneaked out yesterday and bought me a little golden bull as a gift for my coming animal year. I bought her an extra little pearl for fear of causing her daughter's jealousy.
As soon as my husband came home, my daughter found the jewelry box he was carrying, rushed up like a hungry tiger, and quickly put two gold ornaments strung together with red ropes on her chubby little wrist.
Looking at her golden eyes, I looked up and sighed: "Women are born to love gold!" "
When I was a child, my family was poor, and my mother didn't have any jewelry. She had no idea about gold and silver. I didn't discover the beauty of jewelry until I grew up, but because of the limitation of economic conditions, I don't have much jewelry yet.
Since my daughter was born, I have accepted my friend's advice and bought her a little gold ornament every year, a little golden horse in the Year of Horse and a little golden pig in the Year of Pig. In fact, my friend suggested that I buy diamonds and gradually increase my money every year. When the child 18 years old, he can have a diamond over 1 carat.
But I can't get past that hurdle in my heart. Diamonds are made of carbon atoms, just like pencil lead. Although it looks dazzling, any workshop can make the same dazzling effect with glass, which is not cost-effective.
Still have to follow the footsteps of Chinese aunts, buying gold is the most practical, and the weight is the most reassuring.
According to statistics, people born after 1990 are not interested in gold at all. Looks like I'm getting old.
But who is taking the gold in my home 10?
Women's love for gold and silver jewelry must be innate, but some people bury their desires deeper, such as me; Some people are superficial, such as this little guy around me.
I tried to negotiate with my daughter to get the golden calf back from her. I told her the origin of the 12 zodiac and the traditional custom of wearing red clothes this year, and finally showed the goal of the negotiation: I need a Taurus and I need a transfer.
After listening to my words, my daughter immediately cried: "But my luck will change!" " "Seeing that my parents were about to rush out of the bedroom and accuse me of bullying my children, I immediately surrendered:" I'll give you anything. "
Great, I'm going to say goodbye to my little golden cow.
