As soon as she showed up, Tian Sisi immediately became a stunning sight in the classroom. Not only did her own classmates come to see her, but many boys and girls from other classes also came over to gawk and chat:
"Tian Sisi's sweater is so pretty!"
"The red leather shoes she's wearing are really cute, especially with those white socks – so beautiful!"
"I think her red hair clip is the best. My sister who studies in the town told me that the Supply and Marketing Cooperative sells them for fifty cents each!"
"Fifty cents? That's expensive, fifty cents can buy several pounds of salt. The Tian Family must be really wealthy."
"That's nothing, the leather shoes she's wearing are even more expensive. My sister said they cost 15 yuan a pair!"
"15 yuan? Tian Sisi is so lucky, she gets new clothes and shoes every day, I think she has several pairs of leather shoes alone!"
"Is there anything Tian Sisi wears that isn't valuable? Anything she wears would be something we can't afford."
