Bai Jiaojiao took the cotton out of her cotton-padded jacket, and Shen Heng asked, "What are we going to do with this cloth?"

"Tear it into strips and save it for starting a fire next time you heat the kang (a traditional heated bed)."

Shen Heng raised an eyebrow slightly. Bai Jiaojiao was living such a good life; even the Heavenly King himself could afford to support her.

Shen Heng knew that Bai Jiaojiao was usually willing to spend money in her daily life, but he had never seen her so wasteful before. There must be something fishy about this unusual behavior, but Shen Heng didn't ask any further questions.

Bai Jiaojiao took apart two cotton-padded jackets, which contained a total of five jin of cotton, and they felt quite heavy in her hands.

"Let's go, we'll take it to him."

"You rest, I'll go over and give it to her." Shen Heng noticed that Bai Jiaojiao's ears, which had turned red from the cold wind, hadn't warmed up yet.

"Then go over there and talk to her nicely, don't scare the old lady."

Bai Jiaojiao said worriedly.

"I understand." Before leaving, Shen Heng kissed Bai Jiaojiao's forehead. He didn't know why, but he felt that Bai Jiaojiao's negative emotions were not just because she felt sorry for him in the past.

Bai Jiaojiao casually cut the fabric she had cut with scissors and put it aside.

When Shen Heng arrived at Grandma Su's house, he saw the brigade leader talking inside.

"Auntie, you don't need to participate in the road repair this time."

"I'm not going. What am I going to eat with Zhigao?"

Grandma Su's voice was slurred and unclear. She had lost all her teeth and spoke weakly because of the cold.

Because Zheng Xu was there, the courtyard gate was not closed, and Shen Heng went in.

What are you doing here?

Zheng Xu was somewhat surprised to see Shen Heng here. When did Old Madam Su get together with Shen Heng?

“Jiaojiao came to find me,” Shen Heng said, throwing a bundle of cotton onto Grandma Su’s kang (heated brick bed). “She spun two old cotton-padded jackets at home, and we don’t need this cotton anymore. She told me to bring it over to Grandma Su.”

When Zheng Xu opened the package, he realized it wasn't some old cotton.

"Did Jiaojiao send you?" In Zheng Xu's mind, Bai Jiaojiao's image improved even more.

Shen Heng nodded: "Let's get rid of this burden. Let's cut it up and sew a coat for Zhigao."

This cloth wrapping was leftover from the last time Bai Jiaojiao made a cotton-padded jacket for Shen Heng; it was more than enough to make a cotton-padded jacket for the child.

Grandma Su clenched her loose eyelids again and again, and two cloudy tears streamed down her cheeks: "Zhigao, quickly thank your Uncle Heng!"

Su Zhigao is only four or five years old this year. He doesn't speak very well, but he listens to his grandmother very well: "Thank you, Heng Su."

Grandma Su naturally knew Bai Jiaojiao, because her sister Bai Shiqing knew that she couldn't do much work in the fields and had a lot of free time, so she gave her the job of weaving nets. Others could only weave one net every two weeks, but she could weave two. In the past two months, her life and that of her grandson had improved a lot.

Shen Heng looked away: "You're welcome."

By doing this, Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng solved a major problem for Zheng Xu.

"Okay, Auntie, if you want to come and help, dress warmly. Our village is short-handed!"

Zheng Xu and Grandma Su were both satisfied, and Grandma Su thanked them repeatedly.

As Shen Heng left, he remembered Bai Jiaojiao's words and glanced at Su Zhigao.

The boy leaned against Grandma Su's chest, looking bewildered. Although he was thin and small, at least he had someone to lean on.

He's better than him.

Because there was no one in the family to gather firewood, the old lady of the Su family's kang (heated brick bed) was ice cold. At night, Zheng Xu carried a load of firewood over, all of which was durable and could burn for a long time.

When Shen Heng returned home, he told Bai Jiaojiao that he had completed his mission: "Could the organization give me a reward?"

Soon things will get busy, and Shen Heng knows that the days of lying close together with Bai Jiaojiao on the kang (heated brick bed) will be coming to an end, so he quickly seizes the time to seek out some perks.

Bai Jiaojiao slapped Shen Heng's head away: "You've only done a little work and you already want a reward? The organization is very disappointed in you."

Shen Heng buried his head in Bai Jiaojiao's soft embrace, placing his large hands on Bai Jiaojiao's slender waist and hips, carefully and greedily inhaling the scent of his rare treasure.

Bai Jiaojiao's upper body involuntarily leaned backward, and Shen Heng took the opportunity to push her down. In a short while, he stripped Bai Jiaojiao down to only a set of close-fitting milky white thermal underwear.

Shen Heng smiled wickedly, while Bai Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

"Bang bang bang!" "Little sister, are you home?"

"..."

Li Shuxian's knocking came from outside. Shen Heng felt as if a taut string had been snapped, leaving him feeling deflated and frustrated.

"Go open the door!"

Bai Jiaojiao pushed Shen Heng, and as she spoke, she put on a sweater and cotton pants.

Shen Heng opened the door with a dark expression: "What do you want?"

Li Shuxian smiled at Shen Heng: "Brother-in-law, I've come to see my little sister."

Shen Heng parted his lips slightly, and Li Shuxian entered the room beside him.

"What's wrong, brother-in-law?" Bai Jiaojiao asked, having already straightened her clothes.

"It's nothing, sigh, it's just..." Li Shuxian said, when he suddenly noticed Shen Heng staring at him gloomily from the side.

Li Shuxian hadn't felt this fear of Shen Heng for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Li Shuxian asked Shen Heng hesitantly, glancing at him with his white eyes, looking as if he was afraid of doing something wrong and needed help.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at Shen Heng, who seemed like a child who had his food snatched away, and laughed, "It's nothing, brother-in-law, what brings you here? Tell me."

"Your sister ate the glutinous rice balls you gave her last time and loved them so much that she can't eat anything else now, she just wants to eat those."

Li Shuxian explained his purpose: "You said last time that it was hard to get that stuff, does it require milk? I have milk coupons at home, and your sister asked me to come and ask what else you need. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town tomorrow to buy some! We'll have to trouble you to make some for us then."

“We have everything else at home, so I can make some for my sister without any problem. It’s just that this can’t be eaten as a meal, so you’ll have to persuade her.”

"My mom's trying to persuade her at home. Your sister's become the matriarch of our Li family now," Li Shuxian joked. Feeling a little uncomfortable under Shen Heng's gaze, he finished explaining his purpose and took his leave.

Shen Heng brought Li Shuxian back, bringing back a room full of cool air.

"Your brother-in-law really knows how to come. Everyone else is rushing to dinner, what do you call him?"

Bai Jiaojiao smiled and moved closer, snuggling into Shen Heng's cotton-padded coat: "Brother Heng, let's continue."

Bai Jiaojiao rested her chin on Shen Heng's chest, her beautiful face looking up at him. A dark current surged in Shen Heng's eyes, hot and turbulent.

He smirked and asked, "Where were we just now?"

"The autumn clothes have arrived," Bai Jiaojiao said obediently.

Her clear eyes were the most alluring. Chen Heng reached his large hand into Bai Jiaojiao's sweater, wanting to tear apart the innocence in her eyes and taint them with the fiery passion he had given her.

“Heng-ge,” Bai Jiaojiao blinked, “when you went out to deliver cotton, I went to the toilet and found out that I started my period today.”

"..."

He knew that if Bai Jiaojiao took the initiative, the sun must have risen in the west!

Bai Jiaojiao laughed as she escaped from Shen Heng's clutches. Shen Heng rolled onto the kang (a heated brick bed): "Come here! Let's see how your brother Heng will teach you a lesson!"
