Lin Yizhen passed the bamboo basket in her hand to one of them and said, "Uncle, take the food in and eat first! I still need to go back."
The middle-aged man who took the bamboo basket thought she would not come back after she left, so he smiled and said to her, "Be careful on your way back."
Seeing that the uncle had misunderstood, Lin Yizhen did not explain, just smiled and left.
After returning home, Lin Yizhen packed up all the cotton-padded clothes and quilts she had prepared for them and carried them to the people in the cowshed.
When Lin Yizhen arrived, they had not finished their meal yet.
Seeing Lin Yizhen come back, everyone was a little confused.
But when they saw what Lin Yizhen was carrying behind her, these dozen people opened their mouths in surprise.
They all had the same thought in their minds: How could this child carry such a large pile of things?
Then I thought, so many things must not be light.
So, the two people near the door quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and went over to take off Lin Yizhen's cotton coat and quilt.
As they were taking their things, they asked, "Lin Zhiqing, how come you carried so many things all at once?"
Another middle-aged woman who had just put down her bowl also came over and saw that Lin Yizhen was carrying all the cotton clothes and quilts.
He said to Lin Yizhen in surprise, "So many cotton-padded clothes and quilts? Lin Zhiqing, where did you get so much cotton?"
When the others heard that Lin Yizhen brought only cotton clothes and quilts, they were shocked and put down their bowls and chopsticks and walked over.
They know that cotton is very difficult to buy.
It’s not a matter of money or tickets, but that there is not much cotton left for them.
Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary people to buy cotton.
What’s more, Lin Zhiqing bought so much at once?
But don't let those people in the town catch us because of them, otherwise they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
When Lin Yizhen heard the aunt's question, she looked up and smiled as she explained to everyone, "There has always been cotton in town, but the quantity is small, so the supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell it directly.
Instead, they are placed in warehouses, waiting for people to use their connections to buy them.
I heard about this by chance before, so I used my connections to buy more from the supply and marketing cooperative.
I thought, since there are so many people here, we must buy more cotton.
So, I asked the people in the supply and marketing cooperative to buy more.
It was also a coincidence that the supply and marketing cooperative had just received a batch of cotton some time ago. I happened to come across it and was able to pick up the bargain.
Everyone was a little skeptical of what she said, but they couldn't find any other reason except this one.
The older people were deeply moved when they saw that Lin Zhiqing had prepared so many cotton-padded clothes and quilts for them at once.
Not to mention that Lin Zhiqing was just a stranger to them, even their own children might not be able to do this.
What's more, there are those who have severed ties with their parents in front of them, which makes them feel even more touched.
Several sentimental old ladies were already wiping their tears with their sleeves.
When Lin Yizhen saw this, she quickly stepped forward to ask. One of the old ladies saw Lin Yizhen coming and hugged her and burst into tears.
This old lady was one of those who had been disowned by her children. After seeing what Lin Yizhen had done for them and thinking about what her own children had done, the old lady could no longer control herself.
Another old man nearby quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Old woman, stop crying. Let's just pretend we never gave birth to those two beasts.
From now on, we will only recognize Rui'er as our grandson, and everyone else will no longer be considered a descendant of the Liu family."
The old lady hugged Lin Yizhen and nodded while crying. It took her a while to calm down.
Lin Yizhen just squatted there and let her hold her until the old lady let her go and said, "Grandma Liu, don't be sad for those who are not worth it."
"Yes! Old lady, we have to look forward. We can just keep these old bones to see Ruier get married and have children." Old man Liu held his wife's hand tightly and said.
Grandma Liu was also sad for a moment, but now she feels much better after crying.
She let go of Lin Yizhen, wiped her tears with her sleeve and said, "Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore. From now on, we will only have Rui'er as a grandson. I want to stay alive to see Rui'er get married and have children."
Seeing that the old man had finally calmed down, Lin Yizhen finally felt relieved.
In fact, she didn't know what the situation was like at home in the cowshed.
She only knew that the people here used to have good living conditions and were considered bad elements by others.
But Lin Yizhen didn’t know exactly what a bad element was. Maybe it was similar to what her grandparents thought.
She felt that people like her grandparents could not be called bad elements, and she also felt that they were really pitiful.
That's why I'm willing to help them.
Moreover, they are all not young anymore.
Lin Yizhen, who had been taught since childhood to respect the elderly and love the young and to put filial piety first, naturally couldn't bear to let them die in a foreign land.
As long as it is within her ability, Lin Yizhen will try her best to take good care of them.
Lin Yizhen got up from the ground and saw that everyone had put down their chopsticks and was looking at her.
I said a little embarrassedly: "Grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunts, why are you all looking at me? Let's eat quickly! If we don't eat now, it will get cold."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard what she said.
Then everyone returned to their original seats and continued eating.
After everyone finished their meal, Lin Yizhen distributed the cotton-padded clothes she had brought to them and asked them to take them to their rooms to try on.
After everyone put on their cotton coats, they all walked out of the house with smiles on their faces.
They touched their bodies with joy, as they hadn't worn new clothes in years, let alone cotton-padded jackets and trousers lined with new cotton.
They looked at their new cotton-padded jackets and then at each other to see if they fit them well.
Finally, they all came to Lin Yizhen to thank her, thanking her for everything she had done for them and for allowing them to live a normal life.
Lin Yizhen waved her hand and said to everyone with a smile, "Grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunts, you are welcome.
In my heart, you are my elders. Isn't it right to provide food and make clothes for your elders?"
Everyone wearing new clothes felt warmed when they heard her words.
This child is so kind. She is so nice to these old men and women who are of no use to her and may even bring danger to her.
They all prayed in their hearts that one day they would be able to get out of here. Only by getting out of here would they be able to repay Lin Zhiqing.
But they didn't say these words.
Now, they can hardly protect themselves, let alone talk about repaying or not.
Lin Yizhen noticed that their clothes fit them well, with only a few being a little too big. Even so, they were unwilling to alter their clothes, preferring to wear two more layers underneath.
Seeing that no one was willing to change, I just let them do as they pleased.
After trying on the clothes, I asked them to put on the quilt. After changing to the new quilt, I felt less cold when sleeping at night.
After distributing all the things to them, Lin Yizhen returned home.
