Chapter 255: Darkness
"We don't need any at home. Let them take it back and knit a few more pairs of gloves."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and handed the box to Shen Yanming.
Shen Yanming gave it to Chen Shunwei, who opened it immediately. Looking at the sky blue wool that had some creases but was still bright and smooth, he instantly fell in love with it.
"Aren't these wool yarns so good?" Although Chen Shunwei didn't understand these things, just from the feel, the wool yarns were better than the wool sweaters his wife bought for him.
"I picked out good yarn when I bought it, but when Qiao An was wearing it, it got a hole in it by accident, and we didn't know how to fix it, so we tore it into yarn."
"I can ask my wife to help reweave it."
Chen Yanming knew that Chen Shunwei meant to use the wool to knit Bi Qiaoan a new sweater, but he still refused.
"What I promised to give you is what I promised you. Qiao An still has sweaters to wear. We bought several of them when there was no purchase restriction."
Thinking of something, Shen Yanming added, “There is a pair of gloves for Wang Lai in here.”
Chen Shunwei chuckled, "Okay, I won't forget him. Let my wife knit it for him as well."
Seeing that the two had not forgotten him, Wang Lai hurriedly thanked them: "Thank you, Brother Shen, thank you, Brother Chen."
It was getting late, so Chen Shunwei, Wang Lai and Shen Yanming said goodbye.
Shen Yanming walked to the balcony and looked out. Although there was no light outside, he could vaguely feel that the rain was getting heavier.
He took out two umbrellas from the cabinet and handed them to the two men. After thanking him, the two men left.
On the way, Chen Shunwei gave Wang Lai some instructions as usual, asking him not to tell anyone what happened tonight.
When he returned home, Chen Shunwei's wife Wang Xiaoyue and daughter Xinxin touched the wool in the box, both showing eager looks.
"Ah Wei, where did this wool come from? It's so clean, you must have picked it up, right?"
Chen's mother knew that her son was a little clever and that he could often get some good things, but she was afraid that Chen Shunwei would go astray without her knowing.
Facing the worried eyes of his old father and mother, Chen Shunwei quickly explained: "This was given to me and Wang Lai by an owner of the community because we helped each other tonight."
"Then is this for our family?" Wang Xiaoyue asked excitedly.
"No, they asked us to use them to knit gloves. There's a pair for Wang Lai in there."
"Such good wool to knit gloves..." Wang Xiaoyue was reluctant to do so as she touched the smooth wool.
Chen Shunwei paused while drinking water and asked, "So what do you want?"
Wang Xiaoyue struggled for a while before she said, "Knit a pair of gloves for Wang Lai, and use the remaining yarn to make a sweater for Xinxin, okay?"
"My parents don't have gloves, and they got several cuts on their hands while working last time." Chen Shunwei was also moved after hearing this, but he could not turn a blind eye to his parents' needs.
"We're fine. We don't have to work every day. Just knit a sweater for Xinxin. Little girls should be pretty." Father Chen said happily.
"Yes, yes, it's winter now, and my old man and I don't want to go out and suffer the cold. But Xinxin is different. She either goes to school or goes out to play, so she deserves a new sweater." Mother Chen also quickly agreed.
Chen Shunwei thought about it, then turned to ask Wang Xiaoyue, "Except for Wang Lai's gloves, is this enough wool to knit a sweater for Xinxin?"
"Let's try it. If it's really not enough, we can find some other yarn to add to it. Or, we can make it into a shirt collar, which can also save some yarn."
"I don't understand these, just do what you want."
When she saw that her parents were going to knit a new sweater for her, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.
At this time, Chen Shunwei said to Wang Xiaoyue and Xinxin: "Although our family has no control over how they deal with the things they gave us, no matter what, their original intention was to let us knit gloves.
Now that you have decided to knit a sweater, I have no objection. But from now on, the farm work in the field will have to be done by the three of us.
We can’t let people see my parents working on the farm with bare hands. What kind of people would we be then? Don’t you think so? "
Wang Xiaoyue and Xinxin nodded quickly.
"Leave the work in the fields to me from now on, and let mom and dad take a rest. If it weren't for the tight time and heavy task last time, I wouldn't agree for mom and dad to go out together to pull out dead weeds." Wang Xiaoyue said.
"Don't blame Xiaoyue. It was us two old people who insisted on going out, and in the end we couldn't help much. Xiaoyue gave me gloves to wear, but I didn't want them." Chen's mother was afraid that Chen Shunwei would have a problem with Wang Xiaoyue, so she hurried to explain.
"We are old and move slowly, not as fast as Xiaoyue, so it is right for her to wear gloves." Father Chen also added.
Chen Shunwei nodded, "I know my wife is a good person. She has taken care of everything at home over the years. My wife, thank you for your hard work. I will help you in the future."
At this time, Xinxin nodded her head and said, "I will also help grandpa, grandma, dad and mom!"
When Chen's father and mother saw this scene, they smiled knowingly. No matter how his family's life was, the way they got along with their family was something that no one could envy.
After the guests left, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan first washed the dishes, then turned off the table lights everywhere in the house, and finally went into the space to wash up before going out to sleep.
Why do we have to sleep outside? Of course, it is to force ourselves to adapt to the external environment and weather.
Of course, before going to bed, the two of them put the small stove into the space.
The next morning, Bi Qiaoan was woken up by the cold. Her nose was icy and she felt that every breath of air she took was cold.
In fact, she was covered with a quilt below her neck and was hugged by a human-shaped heater, so she was very warm.
But there is no protection above the neck, so you can only withstand the invasion of cold air from the room.
When Bi Qiaoan opened his eyes, the bedroom was still dark.
She rarely woke up so early, so she reached out and pushed aside the curtains.
But just this slight movement woke up the man next to her.
"It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Shen Yanming buried his head in Bi Qiaoan's neck, sniffing the fragrance of her hair and muttered.
"I just woke up and wanted to check the sky." Because the curtains in the bedroom are a bit thick, it is not so accurate to tell the time by relying on the indoor light on cloudy days.
While Bi Qiaoan was talking, he had already opened the curtains a little.
She looked out through the gap and saw that it was pitch black outside. It seemed that it was still early.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Bi Qiaoan heard the sound of strong wind whistling past, and a gust of wind came in through the gap in the glass and blew on Bi Qiaoan's arm.
The fair and smooth skin was instantly covered with goose bumps.
Bi Qiaoan quickly lowered the curtains and tucked his cold arms into the quilt.
She wanted to hide her arms behind her back, but before she could move, a pair of large hands came up to her.
Rubbing her up and down to drive away the cold...
