Cheng Cai looked at the heavy snow outside and was also a little worried. This year's snow was much heavier than in previous years, and it was going to be a cold winter. He thought of his three grandfathers in the cowshed and wondered how they were doing.

But he is doing well now because Aunt Tingting and Uncle Jianjun treat him well. However, these three grandfathers have no relation to his aunt, and he doesn't know how to bring it up.

Today was also a small test. Tingting saw that Chengcai was absent-minded, so she asked him, "What's wrong, Chengcai? What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing, Auntie. I was just looking at the snow outside and it felt really heavy. It feels colder than usual this year."

Looking at him, Tingting understood what the child was thinking. He was worried about the three grandfathers, as it was indeed colder than usual this year.

Looking at Jianjun outside working on the roof, I thought I'd discuss this matter with him after he finished, since it was indeed no small thing.

"It's really cold today. It's been snowing all day and night without stopping," Jianjun said as he closed the door.

Seeing Tingting looking at him, he knew she had something to say, so he brushed the snow off his clothes and asked, "Wife, why are you looking at me like that? Is something wrong?"

"Yes, Jianjun, come here for a moment, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's wrong, honey? Why are you so serious? Is something important?"

"I saw Cheng Cai staring at the heavy snow outside today. I think he was probably thinking about those three old men, since it's so cold."

“I heard that two of the three people you picked up the other day got sick from the cold. These old men don’t have anything to keep warm, so Cheng Cai is worried about them.”

“Hey, Chengcai is a kind person, but you know, none of our families have much cotton. If we make quilts for them and get caught, it won’t be a small matter, honey.”

"Hey, I know, I just wanted to ask you what to do about this."

“Honey, I remember there are two thick quilts in Cheng Cai’s house. Cheng Cai and You Cai stay at our house in the winter. I’m not happy with these quilts. Let’s wash them, take them apart, and make some clothes and cotton pants.”

"Honey, that's a good idea. Let's ask the child's opinion first."

“Chengcai, your uncle and I know what you’re thinking. There used to be two quilts in your house. Take them over and your aunt and uncle will cut them up and make them thicker cotton-padded coats.”

"But you also need to understand that you should tell them that you made this yourself, and that you understand what your aunt means."

“I know, Auntie. These grandfathers have been kind to me. I’m going home to get my blankets. It’s much colder than usual this year,” Cheng Cai said excitedly.

"Have your uncle go and heat up the kang (heated brick bed) in your room, and also fetch your things. It's snowing so heavily now that no one is going out."

"Thank you, Auntie," Cheng Cai said, tears streaming down his face.

At first, Chengcai didn't have much affection for those three grandfathers, but as time went by, he and Youcai had long regarded them as their own grandfathers.

This auntie treated her uncle like her own parents, so she always kept him in her heart.

"Alright, now get back to studying and stop worrying."

When Cheng Cai saw his aunt say that, he smiled sheepishly.

These past few days, Jianjun and the other children have been washing quilts. In winter, they naturally use hot water, which takes up a lot of firewood. The two children know this, and they are thinking that when they grow up, they must repay their aunt and uncle.

While the other children were studying, Tingting and Jianjun were taking apart the quilts on the kang (a heated brick bed). It took them quite a bit of effort to finish the clothes.

Jianjun then brought two more rabbits, and Chengcai and Youcai delivered the clothes to them under cover of darkness.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, are you asleep?"

"Old Hao, isn't that Cheng Cai and You Cai's voice? Has something happened to the kids?"

"I'll go check on you. You're sick, you should just rest and rest," Hao Licheng said.

"Chengcai, Youcai, what brings you here in the middle of the night? Come inside quickly."

"Grandpa, we've come to see you. The snow has been so heavy these past few years. We were worried you'd be cold, so we brought you some clothes."
