After dinner, Qin Xiao took his mother away. Chen Congying really liked Ji Xia and held her hand reluctantly. She repeatedly told Ji Xia that if Qin Xiao was free at the end of the year, she must go back to the capital.
"I heard that Ah Xiao is getting married, and Wanxue must come with me. It's just that their leader didn't approve her leave, so she's been sulking at home." Chen Congying smiled and said, "You have a good personality, and you and Wanxue will definitely get along well in the future."
Ji Xia has always been thinking about Qin Wanxue. She doesn't know whether Wanxue was implicated because of her before the restart. She always feels that the phone call Wanxue made later must be because something happened to her, and she feels very guilty.
"I will definitely go to see the late snow when I have time!" Ji Xia said from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Congying was very happy. After getting in the car, she rolled down the window and talked to Ji Xia. Qin Xiao kept staring at Ji Xia. Ji Xia moved her gaze a little towards him. After they exchanged glances, he quickly looked away, looking a bit like a shy young wife.
After the car left, Ji Xia stood at the door for a while. Qin Xiao looked at him through the rearview mirror and always felt that Ji Xia was reluctant to let him leave. He also felt a little melancholy in his heart.
He didn't know that Ji Xia was actually thinking about Qin Wanxue.
"Sister Ji Xia, this is the firewood I sent to your family." Ji Rongbin and his sister each carried a small bundle of firewood and placed it at the door of Ji Xia's house.
Ji Xia was confused, "Huh? Why are you sending firewood to our house?"
"My brother said that your family doesn't have much firewood left. Aunt Sufen hasn't gone to the mountains to collect firewood these days. My brother and I go to collect firewood every day, so we have extra firewood." Ji Ronghua said.
The five-year-old girl was wearing very thin clothes, her face was chapped from the cold, with two patches of high altitude red on it, and her hair was messy. But it was still a big difference compared to when she lived with their second uncle before. Although she was not well fed and clothed, there was a light in her eyes.
That's good.
People can suffer physically, but they must never suffer mentally.
"My family just happened to need firewood, and you delivered it just in time!" Ji Xia smiled as he picked up the firewood brought by the two little guys, put it directly in the backyard, untied the hemp rope, and when he came back and handed it to them, he gave them a dollar.
These two bundles of firewood are not small, and they are all hard wood. It can be seen that they have been carefully selected, and you can also see the care and love of the two children.
In fact, considering the prices at that time, it was really not worth a penny, but Ji Xia had a lot of cash in her hands at that time, as well as a lot of big and small yellow croakers. She was a person who spent money lavishly, so she would naturally not be stingy when it came to her children.
"We can't take your money, sister. We came here to collect firewood to thank you." Ji Rongbin pulled his sister and was about to run away. How could he take his sister's money? Besides, their firewood was not worth that much money at all.
Ji Xia hurriedly pulled them back and said, "Just take the money first, and then continue to collect firewood for us tomorrow."
After Ji Xia said this, Ji Rongbin began to hesitate, but he finally shook his head. No one in the village would spend money to buy firewood because there was firewood everywhere in the back mountain. His sister was helping them.
But Father Yang said that we can’t ask for help from others. We have hands and feet, and we have enough food this year.
Ji Xia had no other choice but to take out a handful of White Rabbit candies and hand them to the two children. "If you won't even accept this, then don't give me gifts in the future. Do you think I must accept the things you give me, but refuse the things I give you?"
Ji Rongbin and his sister thought this made sense, so they put the candies in their pockets and gave one to every child they met on their way home, emphasizing, "Sister Ji Xia gave this to you, you should thank her!"
Ji Xia shook her head. Such a kind child was really touching. She was afraid that she would never be able to be so kind in her entire life.
He didn't have anything to eat, but he gave away what he had to others.
Thinking of this, she went into the house and asked her mother, "Mom, I see that Rongbin and Ronghua are wearing very thin clothes. I don't know if they have thick mattresses and quilts to sleep on at night. Last time I went to the county town, I bought some quilts, cloth, and cotton. How about giving them some of my old ones?"
She had a lot of space, but quilts and clothes were in short supply these days. The quilts she had used as mattress pads and covers were only about 30% to 40% new, and no matter how much she dried them in the sun, they were still hard and not warm.
She was really not used to it, so she took out some new floral cotton from the space and put it on the cushion and covered herself with a down quilt.
Although she seemed a bit saintly, there were so many things in her space, and she couldn't bear to watch the two children suffer from the cold and hunger.
If these two children had a little less conscience, she could have turned a blind eye, but these two children have such good character.
Xie Sufen was clearing away the dishes when Ji Jianguo came out and said, "I'll take it to them."
Ji Xia then brought out two quilts, each weighing five or six pounds, as well as two pieces of cloth and more than ten pounds of cotton, all of which were Xinjiang cotton from later generations. He gave Ji Jianguo a lot of things.
Ji Jianguo knew that his daughter had money. He was a kind-hearted man and sympathized with the two children. He himself didn't care much about material things, so he took the things and went over.
Carpenter Yang was cooking with a limp.
Now, thanks to the arrival of summer, every household could eat some refined rice, but Carpenter Yang still cooked a pot of sweet potatoes. They replaced the refined rice with coarse grains so that they could ensure that they could survive until the next year when the summer grain was distributed.
Each person had a bowl of sweet potatoes, and on the middle table was a bowl of boiled cabbage and a bowl of pickles. The pickles were pickled by Carpenter Yang himself. They looked black, but tasted salty.
Ji Jianguo felt a little bit sorry when he saw this. How could such a young child bear to eat these?
But he also knew that when helping others, the first thing to consider is their self-esteem.
"Jianguo, what are you doing?" Carpenter Yang stood up and looked at the things that Ji Jianguo brought over.
On the way, Ji Jianguo actually thought for a long time and didn't know how to start the conversation. But if he didn't bring these things over, it would snow heavily soon, and he was afraid that the children would not be able to survive.
"Third brother, Xia Xia is getting married. After the wedding, she will move to the military compound. Her in-laws have sent her a lot of things, but she doesn't plan to take these old things with her.
This is also because she and the two children get along well. She said that she doesn't worry about anything else, but she is worried about Rongbin and Ronghua. If you don't mind, I will leave these here."
Ji Jianguo was quite embarrassed to say this. This job should indeed be done by Ji Jianguo. If it were Ji Xia, she would definitely not say such a roundabout way of speaking.
Carpenter Yang didn't know how much of this was true or false, but he was really moved by Ji Jianguo's kindness. Not only him, but even Rongbin and Ronghua had tears in their eyes.
"Is Sister Xia getting married? Is she marrying a soldier? The guy who was driving the car earlier?" Ronghua raised her little face, especially happy for Ji Xia. "That guy looks like a really great and kind person."
"Yeah!" Ji Jianguo put the things down and rubbed the child's head. "So, please don't despise the things that Sister Xia Xia left for you, okay?"
