After talking to Grandma Bai, Lin Manman and Wang Qingmiao went to the captain's house and explained their purpose to the captain's wife.

When Aunt Wang heard that she wanted to help make the bedding, she readily agreed:

"Okay, of course. Lin Zhiqing, just put your things down. I and your three sisters-in-law will help you get your quilt and mattress back in three days!"

Lin was full of gratitude and said:

"Thank you so much, Aunt Wang. I'll bring the remaining 10 kilograms of cotton over later!"

Aunt Wang was surprised when she heard this:

"Lin Zhiqing, how thick do you want to make your quilt? Ten kilograms of cotton is enough for two sets of quilts!"

Cotton was rare in those days, and most people made cotton quilts, most of which were 2-jin mattresses and 4-jin quilts.

Lin Manman can use the 10 kilograms of material in the middle and make the surrounding areas thinner, which is enough to make two sets of bedding!

However, Heilongjiang Province is so cold and the kang is so hard, so Lin Manman is not prepared to make such thin bedding.

Lin Manman explained:

"Auntie Wang, I'm very afraid of the cold. I want to make two 4-jin mattresses, a 4-jin quilt, and an 8-jin quilt. Do you think it's okay?"

Aunt Wang nodded in agreement:

"That's fine. Heilongjiang Province is much colder than Beijing in winter. As long as the cotton is thick, it should be thicker!"

"Leave this to me. I promise to make it thick for you! I won't let you suffer from the cold in winter!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Manman went back to deliver the remaining cotton. When delivering it, Lin Manman deliberately put in an extra pound of cotton and a piece of floral cloth that was enough to make a cotton-padded jacket. These two items were just enough to make a cotton-padded jacket.

Normally, if you make two sets of bedding and put one of these two things in, that would be more than enough!

But Lin Manman was chatting with Aunt Wang just now, and it was obvious that she was a very sensible person, so Lin Manman expressed her envy of Wang Qingmiao's pig farming at the right time. Now she has given him a generous gift. Aunt Wang will definitely understand what she means!

Captain Wang is not easy to break through, and the same goes for his wife!

The busy farming season is about to begin, so it is necessary to prepare in advance!

Sure enough, after Aunt Wang expressed her admiration for the good things used by the educated youth in the city, she discovered something wrong when she checked the cotton and cloth.

She looked at the ten kilograms of cotton that were delivered later, which obviously had one more piece than the previous ten kilograms, and the piece of floral cloth, and fell into deep thought.

If they only gave one thing, we could still admire the generosity of the city's educated youth, but if they directly gave them a flowered cotton jacket, that's not just generosity!

What did this Lin Zhiqing want? He gave such a valuable gift!

After sending the gift back, Aunt Wang felt reluctant to part with it. Her daughter had been wearing the cotton-padded jacket for three years and the sleeves were too short. She had been thinking of adding another piece to it. Now that she had this piece of cloth and new cotton, she could make a new one for her daughter!

This little pink flower is so pretty, it will definitely look great on my daughter!

Thinking about what Lin Zhiqing had just chatted with her, Aunt Wang suddenly realized something and slapped her thigh!

This Lin Zhiqing has been saying that the pigs are well taken care of. Does this mean he wants to follow his daughter and feed the pigs?

That’s right, the busy farming season is coming soon, and how can a young girl like her do farm work? She might as well raise pigs!

After realizing this, Aunt Wang was happy. It was not a big deal and she could accept the gift!

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang could no longer sit still and had to get this matter done quickly so that she could start making her daughter's flowery cotton-padded jacket!

Aunt Wang hurried to the warehouse at home to find Captain Wang and said:

"Qingmiao's father, Lin Zhiqing is about the same age as Qingmiao, but she doesn't look as strong as Qingmiao. If she works hard during the busy farming season for a month, she will definitely get sick. I think it's better to let her follow Qingmiao to feed the pigs!"

Captain Wang looked at Aunt Wang in confusion and said:

"Why did you think of talking about this? There are only five pigs in the team, one big and four small. Aunt Bai and my daughter are enough. How can we add more people? This is not possible!"

Aunt Wang got anxious when she heard this. If Lin Zhiqing couldn't get the job done, when would her daughter's flowered cotton jacket be ready? If she relied on this old man, it would take who knows when!

Aunt Wang glared and said:

"Why not? The old sow is about to give birth. Can two people handle it? Do you want to tire Aunt Bai to death, or do you want to tire your daughter to death?"

Captain Wang heard Aunt Wang keep saying good things to Lin Manman, and he knew what was going on. He glanced at Aunt Wang and said:

"You old woman, did you accept any gift from Lin Zhiqing? Return it to her immediately!"

"This Lin Zhiqing, who gave gifts as soon as he arrived, is no pushover!"

Aunt Wang disagreed:

"What gift? I gave a piece of flowered cloth and a pound of cotton. But that was a thank you gift for helping me make the quilt. It wasn't for you. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Besides, it was me who said to let Lin Zhiqing feed the pigs, not Lin Zhiqing who asked for it!"

"Just get the job done and stop talking nonsense! What? Do you want to make me sick from working so hard? Why don't you just clean up the mess afterwards?"

After saying that, Aunt Wang stopped arguing with Captain Wang and turned back to the house!

Anyway, she said that if this damn old man has the heart to let her daughter wear an old cotton-padded jacket instead of a new one, then he shouldn't do anything!

Sure enough, Aunt Wang still understood Captain Wang. If it was for any other reason, Captain Wang would definitely not agree. But for the sake of his daughter's flowery cotton-padded jacket, Captain Wang coughed lightly and agreed that this was not impossible!
