When the autumn wind blows, the weather starts to get cooler!

The wind blowing on people no longer brings warmth, but still carries a hint of coldness.

Fortunately, Ning Jing had made clothes for the children beforehand. Although there was no cotton, children naturally have a lot of internal heat.

Therefore, by wearing new clothes and then layering old clothes over them, you can stay warm without being conspicuous.

Fu Hongxing saw it all but said nothing.

He simply took out an old military overcoat and asked Ning Jing to open it first, then distribute the cotton wadding inside to the children so that it could make at least three pairs of thin cotton trousers.

Thinking about what he had promised Ning Jing, Fu Hongxing frowned slightly.

What happened?

When Ning Jing saw the old military overcoat that Fu Hongxing took out, her eyes lit up instantly.

However, seeing his conflicted expression, I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"I'm sorry, those families who promised to exchange cotton coupons for me, since they also need them for their own use,..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Jing's heart sank, and she realized it made sense.

This cotton is rare, and the whole family will need it sometime.

I didn't think about it that much before because it was still hot.

Now that the weather is getting colder, naturally some people are unwilling to accept it.

"Don't we... have any other options?"

Ning Jing had a headache. Adults could say they could just tough it out, but what about the children?

Fu Hongxing's eyes darkened as he looked at Ning Jing's troubled expression.

He stepped forward and embraced Ning Jing, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Don't worry, I'll think of another way."

He didn't want to go to Fang Meng unless absolutely necessary.

Just then, I heard the monkey's anxious voice coming from outside the yard.

"Sister-in-law, is Brother Hongxing home?"

Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing separated and glanced at each other.

Logically, since it's already dark, the monkey should be resting in its dormitory.

Judging from that anxious voice, something must have happened.

Fu Hongxing told Ning Jing to sit down first, and then went out. As soon as he opened the courtyard gate, he saw Monkey looking like he was crying.

Upon seeing Fu Hongxing, the monkey immediately pounced on him, grabbing Fu Hongxing's clothes, and a look of joy flashed across its previously mournful face.

"Brother Hongxing, something terrible has happened! Brother Meng... he's in trouble!"

Upon hearing the monkey's words, Fu Hongxing frowned immediately, pulled the monkey into the yard, and quickly closed the door.

"Come in, what's going on?"

Logically speaking, as long as Fang Meng doesn't go too far and manages things properly, the possibility of something going wrong is very small.

However, similarly, once a breach occurs, it is difficult for him to repair it.

Upon hearing Fu Hongxing's question, the monkey's eyes suddenly turned red, and its teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

"Here's what happened."

He went to see Brother Meng before, and also helped Brother Hongxing get the milk powder that Brother Meng had gotten for him. It was Brother Meng's wife who treated him to the meal.

Although Meng Ge's wife was unfriendly to him and looked unwelcoming, Monkey was a grateful person and didn't care much. He just thought that he wouldn't go to Meng Ge's house when Meng Ge wasn't around.

After all, he now has a job, although he is still an apprentice and the salary is not very high, it is enough for him to eat his fill and his family to be fed.

So, it's been a long time since I've been home!

He thought that although there was nothing of value in that dilapidated house, it was, after all, the only thing his grandmother had left him.

So, I found some free time to go back and prepare to clean up.

Unexpectedly, he went back to his dilapidated house in town last night.
