After thinking for a moment, she said, "Sister Fengqin, let's ask Xiaoyun to pick some reed fluff later. Although it's light and not as light as cotton, we can still keep warm by stuffing more into our clothes."
Wang Fengqin nodded, put down the cloth in her hand, and went with Zhao Xing'er to find Liu Xiaoyun.
Jiang Yimian had no time to stop them and could only let them go.
She still has a lot of cotton in her storage space, but she hasn't had a chance to take it out. She needs to find an opportunity to distribute some to each family.
Although their location isn't as cold as the north, being in the south, it's close to the central region and it does snow there.
Once the snow falls, the temperature in the mountains will drop sharply, and you won't be able to get through the winter without winter clothes.
She originally planned to plant some cotton in the mountains, but the cotton planting season had already passed, so she could only keep the seeds.
Just then, Gou Sheng excitedly waved to her and shouted, "Sister Yi Mian, come quick, my wheelchair is ready!"
The sound was quite loud, drawing everyone's attention. Combined with Gou Sheng's mysterious behavior lately, it only heightened everyone's curiosity.
Upon hearing that something was ready, everyone dropped what they were doing and rushed over.
Jiang Yimian was also pleasantly surprised and immediately ran over, asking curiously, "It's really done! Quickly bring it out so I can see it."
Gou Sheng immediately pushed out a somewhat rough wheelchair from the woodshed, but it was clear that it had been carefully polished.
Jiang Yimian tried pushing the wheelchair and found it to be very sturdy; an adult man sitting on it wouldn't collapse it.
The wheels have also been carefully polished, and the burrs on them have disappeared.
The chair back and the seat area were also covered with soft cloth cushions, which looked very comfortable.
Zhao Dashu was also somewhat surprised when he saw this magical thing. Although he had helped Gousheng saw wood in the woodshed, he had no idea what Gousheng was going to do at the time.
Zhao Erhei and Wang Xiaohei have already started pushing the wheelchair around.
The two ran very fast, circling back and forth in the yard, excitedly saying, "Gousheng, you're amazing! With this thing, Uncle Tiezhu can move around on his own and go wherever he wants. As long as the path in the small depression is smooth, he can move freely like us."
Jiang Yimian watched the two pushing the wheelchair and running so fast that her lips twitched. To move as freely as them, she would probably fall to her death.
Gou Sheng felt a little embarrassed by the praise and just smiled and said, "It was all Sister Yi Mian's idea. How could I have thought of such an ingenious thing?"
Several women who had originally planned to pick reeds were also drawn to the wheelchair and came to the Liu family's door.
Wang Fengqin was full of curiosity and said, "Erhei, Xiaohei, you two stop playing around and go let your Uncle Tiezhu sit on it and see how it goes."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Erhei and Wang Xiaohei immediately stopped pushing the wheelchair and headed towards the Liu family's house.
Chen Tiezhu was sitting on the bed weaving a basket with bamboo strips when he saw the two of them come in. He asked curiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
He had heard the noise outside, but he thought it was just some kids playing around and didn't pay much attention.
Zhao Erhei just chuckled and, without saying a word, he and Wang Xiaohei carried the person out.
Chen Tiezhu was carried out while still somewhat confused. When he saw a lot of people gathered in the yard, he was puzzled when he noticed the strangely shaped chair in the center of the yard.
"What is this, oh..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was already placed in a wheelchair. There were soft cushions, so it didn't feel uncomfortable.
Gou Sheng quickly stepped forward, grabbed the handles of the wheelchair from behind, and pushed Chen Tiezhu around in the yard.
"Dad, what do you think? This thing is pretty good, isn't it? It's much more convenient than that immovable chair."
Chen Tiezhu nodded repeatedly, sitting in his wheelchair being pushed around the yard by Gou Sheng, his eyes filled with joy and excitement.
He can move around freely now. Although his legs are immobile, the wheelchair makes it much easier for him to get around than before.
Watching the father and son's happy expressions, Liu Xiaoyun's eyes welled up with tears. She turned her head away to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes before looking at Jiang Yimian and saying earnestly, "Yimian, thank you."
Yi Mian helped them so much, so much that she didn't know how to repay her.
It not only gave Chen Tiezhu hope to live, but also allowed his family to live a life they never dared to dream of before.
Back in the village, although my father-in-law and husband were both carpenters, they didn't actually earn much money. They were also exploited by the Chen family uncles. Because my father-in-law was the eldest in the Chen family, he usually took good care of those uncles.
They would give rice, flour, cooking oil, and even silver to help their uncles and elders. But after their father-in-law passed away and Tiezhu broke, those uncles and elders not only did not help them, but also treated them like a flood or a beast, and moved away from Xinghua Village.
Since then, he hasn't asked about me at all.
They thought the rest of the village would be the same, but they met the Jiang and Liu families, and by helping each other, their lives improved day by day.
Chen Tiezhu was also very excited. After Gousheng pushed him around for a while, he started moving around in the yard on his own in his wheelchair. Although he was still a little unskilled and his arms were not very strong, making it a bit difficult for him to move around, he was at least able to move on his own.
Unlike usual, when she needs to be carried out of the house by Gou Sheng or Liu Xiaoyun.
With this wheelchair, he will be able to get out on his own from now on.
Watching Chen Tiezhu try to turn his wheelchair over and over again, everyone felt a mix of emotions—heartache, sympathy, and gratitude.
