What gift should I buy for my mother?

I bought a coat for my mother with my first salary.

I joined the work on 1990. At that time, the salary was very low, and the night shift allowance came to 42 yuan. I bought a thick coat for my mother in late autumn, 35 yuan.

The remaining 7 yuan is used as a month's food.

At that time, the price was low, and the braised pork in the canteen was only 50 cents, while the vegetarian food was only 20 cents.

I'm frugal, too. I won't eat meat every day. On holidays or night shifts, I take the company bus home for dinner, and sometimes I bring something to eat from home, one or two meals. It still costs 7 yuan a month.

I remember that coat is leopard print, the fabric is like tweed, square collar lapel, single-breasted style, simple and generous.

When I bought it back at that time, my mother was very happy, thinking that her daughter could earn money, and she could think of buying clothes for her when she got her first month's salary.

I am very happy myself. Although I was beaten and scolded a lot by her since I was a child, it was not easy for my mother to raise me. I bought her a dress to show my gratitude.

Looking back on it now, I feel quite happy, because my mother didn't dislike it at that time, put on the clothes I bought, and her face was full of happy smiles.

Just that smile, I will never see it again after decades.

Because since I took my mother to live with me fourteen years ago, no matter what clothes or shoes I bought her, she was dissatisfied and always found fault.

Once, I threw the new clothes I bought for her in the New Year out of the window and downstairs. Since then, I haven't bought it for her, so as not to spend money thanklessly and make myself angry.
