Chapter 251: Well, it’s so beautiful!
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xiaoxi whispered a few words in her mother's ear.
"I asked someone to buy some imported warm fabrics and made some warm clothes for you. You can put them on after you take a shower."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves to let her see the thermal underwear underneath her clothes.
"This fabric is so expensive. I'll go outside and try it to see if it really keeps me warm!"
After saying that, she ran out of the yard.
Jiang Xiuqing sighed helplessly.
After all, she is a little girl and loves to be pretty!
Five minutes later, Gu Xiaoxi came back and said with a smile, "Mom, it's very warm! You can wear less clothes. I'll let grandpa take a bath and change into new clothes first."
"Okay. I'll pour some water!" Jiang Xiuqing immediately turned up the heat, poured out a large bucket of water, and quickly boiled another pot of water.
Gu Xiaoxi carried the water to the bathroom, then used the heat gathering technique around it, then took a large bucket and carried a bucket of hot spring water from his own soul-gathering hot spring. Only then did he call his grandfather.
Grandpa Jiang originally wanted to take a bath in the evening, but the creek was full of water, so he had to take a bath first.
Gu Yimin quickly went to get some spare clothes for his grandfather.
Gu Xiaoxi took the opportunity to change into the warm clothes prepared for his grandfather.
When Grandpa Jiang came out after taking a bath and changing into warm clothes, I couldn't help but praise him.
"This thermal jacket may look thin, but it is really warm! It is more resistant to cold than wearing two or three sweaters."
Gu Yimin just listened, and thought in his heart that the old man had just taken a shower and his body was warm.
But after he took a shower and put on new thermal clothes, he immediately fell in love with this thin thermal clothes.
With this dress, I can wear two fewer pieces of clothing.
It turns out that the lady is considerate!
Feeling warm and in a good mood, Gu Yimin hummed a song and went to the kitchen to show off to his wife.
"It's better to raise a concubine! A concubine is like my intimate little cotton-padded jacket. It's neither too big nor too small, and it fits me perfectly. It keeps me warm!"
Jiang Xiuqing said with a smile: "She is also my daughter. You come and watch the fire, and I will go take a bath."
"Okay! Okay!" Gu Yimin responded with a smile.
It is said that taking a bath early during the Chinese New Year will bring good luck in the coming year, and the people in their family will be lucky next year!
After everyone had taken a shower, Gu Xiaoxi prepared the things he was going to take to the troops.
When she saw her grandfather wearing a pair of socks with exposed toes, she slapped her head, ran back to the room, and brought out a bunch of woolen socks.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, wear this! I bought a lot of wool socks. They are so warm."
As she spoke, she gave twenty pairs to her grandfather and twenty pairs to her father.
Gu Yimin raised his eyebrows, "Xiaoxi, why did you buy so many socks? Just buy one or two pairs!"
Gu Xiaoxi coughed lightly and said, "Dad, it's so cheap! Can the factory price and retail price be the same?"
As she spoke, she reserved twenty pairs of women's woolen socks and put one pair on her feet.
For a moment, her little feet also felt warm, and she felt so comfortable.
Then I put on the cotton leather shoes that Lu Jiansen gave me, wow, I look so beautiful!
Just when the family had changed their clothes and shoes and were ready to go to the army, there was a knock on the door.
When Gu Xiaoxi looked up, she saw Lu Jianlin pushing the door and walking in, carrying a lot of bags.
"Sister-in-law...Grandpa, uncle, aunt..."
Lu Jianlin called everyone one by one, looking sunny and handsome.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled slightly and immediately introduced it to her parents and grandfather.
"He is Lu Jianlin, Jiansen's second brother!"
"He looks a bit like Jiansen!" Jiang Xiuqing nodded with a smile, then went into the kitchen to pour him tea.
Gu Xiaoxi actually had somewhat forgotten about Lu Jianlin. When she saw that he had brought a lot of New Year's goods, she quickly invited him to eat.
"Sister-in-law, my brother is not at home?" Lu Jianlin drank tea and chatted casually.
"Yes. He just joined the army this afternoon. You will go with us later."
"Okay." Lu Jianlin nodded with a smile.
As they were talking, the voices of Gu Dachuan and Ding Lanyi were heard from outside the door.
Gu Yimin saw his son coming and couldn't help asking, "Why are you so idle? Lu Jiansen is so busy that he doesn't even come home."
Gu Dachuan touched his head awkwardly, "Our first regiment leader asked for leave to go home, and Lu Jiansen is the deputy regiment leader, so he must be busy. I have nothing to do now, and my mother must have boiled some hot water. Lan Yi and I will come over to take a bath and keep warm at night."
Gu Xiaoxi blinked but said nothing.
After his brother and Ding Lanyi entered the kitchen, Gu Xiaoxi looked at Lu Jianlin and asked, "Are you staying at home tonight?"
Lu Jianlin smiled and shook his head, "I live over there in the infirmary."
"Then why don't you take a hot bath before going to the army? That way it will be warmer at night."
Lu Jianlin wanted to refuse, but Grandpa Jiang suddenly said, "Wash them! I see your shoes are a little wet."
Only then did Gu Xiaoxi look at Lu Jianlin's feet.
Yes, the quilt on his feet might have been wet from stepping into a puddle of snow, so his shoes and trousers were a little wet.
Lu Jianlin felt a little uncomfortable and coughed lightly, "Then I'll just soak my feet!"
Gu Xiaoxi immediately went back to the room, took out a cloth bag, and took out a pair of new cotton shoes and twenty pairs of woolen socks.
"I prepared this for you early in the morning as a New Year's gift! Your brother and family members also have it."
As she said this, she smiled and blinked her eyes, "It's to send you warmth, but giving you shoes doesn't mean you can leave!"
A smile flashed across Lu Jianlin's eyes, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Ding Lanyi came out of the kitchen and saw this scene. She lowered her head with some emotion.
Over the years, her family has never prepared a New Year gift for her!
Just when she was feeling depressed, Gu Dachuan came out with hot water.
"Lan Yi, don't you have to rehearse later? Go wash first."
"Okay." Ding Lanyi nodded.
She was really feeling a little cold, so she wanted to take a hot bath.
But the troops don't have hot water until the specified time.
Gu Dachuan considerately poured her bath water and then sat back in the main room.
Gu Xiaoxi also found a clean foot basin for Lu Jianlin and brought him two thermos bottles.
Lu Jianlin felt a little flattered and felt warm in his heart.
No one has cared about these little things in his life for many years!
His parents were always busy, and he and his brothers were all boys, so they were very independent from a young age and did almost everything they could by themselves.
"Sister, are you wearing too little? It's cold outside, wear more when you go out!" After Gu Dachuan sat down, he couldn't help but poke his sister's clothes.
Gu Xiaoxi snorted, "What's missing? I'm wearing a down coat, which is much warmer than the cotton coat you're wearing."
Grandpa Jiang nodded at this time, "Yes. It's warm. We all wore warm clothes, it's warm."
"What warm clothes?" Gu Dachuan asked curiously.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at her brother, then at Lu Jianlin, then walked back to the room and took out another bag.
Inside were two constant temperature vests and twenty pairs of men's wool socks. She took out a constant temperature vest and gave it to Lu Jianlin.
"This vest is made of good material and is warm. If you wear one inside, you will be very warm."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Lu Jianlin smiled slightly and did not refuse.
Gu Dachuan was also very happy, especially after seeing that there were a lot of new socks inside.
Many of the socks he wears now have their toes exposed.
His sister is so thoughtful and considerate!
