Chapter 96: The troops won’t send it, so I’ll send it to my wife

Seeing that rabbit meat was being cooked at home, he did not leave but sat in the living room and talked to his sister.

"It's very cold in Qingbei in winter, and the snow outside is getting heavier. Don't go out tomorrow, and don't go to the waste station for now..."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Got it. Brother, you should also wear something thicker when you go out."

Gu Dachuan patted his chest and said, "I'm wearing the cotton vest you made for me last year. It's very warm."

When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, she immediately went to the room and took out a turtleneck sweater that she had knitted on the train and gave it to him.

Originally she wanted to knit it for Lu Jiansen, but she bought better and finer cashmere yarn in Shanghai, so she knitted this one according to her brother's body shape.

"Brother, I knit this for you."

Gu Dachuan touched the soft and comfortable sweater, feeling reluctant to wear it. "Why don't you send it back to grandpa? I have clothes to wear!"

"Qingbei is colder, you can wear it yourself! It's okay in winter, I'll weave the ones for grandpa and parents later."

The main reason was that she didn’t have enough coupons to buy wool, otherwise she would have bought enough for the whole family.

"Then I'll wear it!" Gu Dachuan felt warm in his heart and put on the sweater immediately.

What's more, the sweater fits him perfectly and is very comfortable. He just won't take it off after putting it on.

When the food was served, Gu Xiaoxi's eyes immediately moved to the plate of fried snails.

She hasn't eaten in a long time!

Seeing that she liked it, Lu Jiansen picked out some snail meat for her and let her eat the rest slowly.

Gu Dachuan was very happy to see that he was so considerate to his sister, and he concentrated on eating the rabbit meat and pickled vegetables.

After eating, Gu Dachuan didn’t stay long and ran away in the heavy snow.

Gu Xiaoxi had nothing to do, so she went into the room, took out the duck and goose down she had saved, found some suitable cloth, and prepared to make a down jacket first.

The current fabric tends to tangle, so she plans to add an extra layer of fabric.

When Lu Jiansen saw the little girl making clothes, he looked at the wind and snow outside and went out immediately.

After a while, he came back carrying a sewing machine.

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned when he saw it. "Where did you borrow this?"

Lu Jiansen explained slowly, "Political Commissar Luo's family."

Gu Xiaoxi chuckled, "Then I'll make good use of it. You should get some rest early."

"I'll go take care of the remaining rabbits."

He has work to do tomorrow, so he will try his best to do what he can at home so that the little girl can feel more comfortable at home.

Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to let her do it tomorrow, but Lu Jiansen had already gone out, so she thought about it and decided to let him do it.

She had already cut the fabric, and with a sewing machine, she could make clothes very quickly.

She made two different styles of tops for Lu Jiansen using duck down, and also two pairs of pants of the same color.

She also made a set of duck down for her brother with the remaining duck down.

After finishing, she found that there was about one pound of duck down left, so she made herself an ankle-length down jacket.

The clothes were black, and they came with a hat with a circle of gray rabbit fur sewn on it.

After trying it, she was quite satisfied with it!

When she finished her work, she found it was already very late, but Lu Jiansen was not at home.

She looked outside and found that the snow seemed to have stopped.

After waiting for a while and not seeing Lu Jiansen come back, she went to sleep first.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't know that after Lu Jiansen dealt with the hare, he went to the logistics department and just happened to receive a temporary task.

A vehicle carrying military supplies to the Qingbei Military Region overturned due to slippery roads, and they had to rescue people and salvage supplies.

In this way, he was busy all night and did not return home.

However, he received some cold-resistant supplies the next morning.

He exchanged his military boots for women's warm military coats, the same as those worn by the female comrades in the art troupe.

After returning home with the things, he took off his coat which was stained with snow, and shook off the cold. He rubbed his hands to warm them, and kissed the little girl who was sleeping soundly.

Gu Xiaoxi felt a source of heat and unconsciously moved closer to him.

Lu Jiansen couldn't help himself and deepened the kiss.

He had a mission last night, so today he had the whole morning to spend time with his wife and do whatever he wanted.

…

It was already noon when Gu Xiaoxi woke up.

Looking at the man who was already asleep beside her, a very strange emotion flowed in her heart.

Just as she was looking at him absentmindedly, a big hand suddenly grabbed her waist.

Before the man even closed his eyes, he had already kissed her lips precisely.

"Wife, it's cold outside, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Gu Xiaoxi quickly refused, "No, go to sleep! I've been sleeping for too long and my waist is sore."

Lu Jiansen laughed softly, his laughter was gentle and healing.

"Then I'll rub it for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a big hand had already touched the little girl's slender waist.

Gu Xiaoxi blushed slightly, "Go to sleep quickly and close your eyes."

Lu Jiansen stopped teasing her and closed his eyes to rest.

The little girl has been tormented for too long this morning, and she needs to have a rest.

Gu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got out of bed.

After closing the door, she couldn't help rubbing her waist and legs.

Fortunately, I didn’t feel exhausted today, and I felt quite satisfied.

Thinking of this, her ears suddenly turned red. What on earth was she thinking about?

She went into the kitchen and used cooking to distract herself.

The meal was ready and Lu Jiansen got up.

After dinner, Gu Xiaoxi gave the clothes she made last night to Lu Jiansen to try on.

Lu Jiansen smiled and kissed her forehead, and let her try on the cotton coat and leather shoes he had brought back.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the man who put on his shoes himself and asked curiously, "Does your army give gifts to military wives?"

Lu Jiansen looked at the newly dressed little girl with satisfaction and said, "If the army doesn't give it to me, I'll give it to my wife."

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh, "Are you going out this afternoon?"

"Well, let's go right away. It's cold outside, don't go out alone, okay?" Lu Jiansen reminded.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Got it."

After Lu Jiansen left, Gu Xiaoxi went back to making clothes.

She used the remaining down to make a short down jacket for her grandfather and her parents.

Considering that she used the sewing machine from the political commissar's home and that the political commissar was very caring towards Lu Jiansen and her, and that she still had a lot of cotton, she also made a Zhongshan suit-style cotton coat for the political commissar.

After finishing, she felt very satisfied, so she made one for Grandpa Lu Jiansen and Father Lu respectively.

She had been concentrating on making clothes the whole afternoon. She had also lit a brazier and used the heat-collecting technique, and she had not noticed at all that the temperature outside had dropped again, and that the snow, which had not fallen for several hours, had started to fall heavily again.

In the evening, Li Guifen came over and brought half a bag of sweet potatoes to Gu Xiaoxi.

When she saw a pile of newly made cotton clothes on Gu Xiaoxi's bed, she was stunned.

"Sister Xiaoxi, how come you made so many cotton-padded clothes?"
