When Jiang Yue arrived at the place where the children lived, she was stunned.
The two low thatched huts had cracked walls. The yard was surrounded by bamboo, and there were several vegetable plots in the yard, where the vegetables were growing very well.
"Comrade Jiang, this is where they live."
Captain Zhang spoke first.
“The house they used to live in collapsed, and the house they live in now belongs to the village. Every year, the village helps them collect the tiles and repair it.”
Jiang Yue nodded.
Hearing the noise outside, the door opened, and four children appeared in front of Jiang Yue.
They were covered in patches, but they were very clean.
"Grandpa Zhang."
Captain Zhang responded with a smile.
"This is Aunt Jiang. She came to visit you and brought 100 jin of grain, two cotton quilts, and a set of cotton clothes for each of you."
Because there were other people around, Captain Zhang didn't mention the hundred yuan. He was also afraid that if word got out about the hundred yuan, it would cause trouble for the children.
If someone in the village gets jealous and sets their sights on these children, they could be in danger.
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang."
The eldest child is a boy named Li Jun.
He bowed to Jiang Yue. He is now studying at the village primary school and is in the fifth grade.
The village primary school did not charge him tuition.
The other children also expressed their gratitude.
"You're welcome."
Aunt Zhang and her two daughters-in-law took the clothes and handed them to the children.
These clothes were made by Aunt Zhang and her two daughters-in-law. They had just made new clothes for their children, and when they learned that Jiang Yue was going to make cotton clothes for the children, they specially took out these clothes.
The cotton quilt was made by a cotton fluffer in the village, and the quilt cover was made from cloth left over from the Zhang family.
Looking at the thick clothes, the children had tears in their eyes; they were deeply moved.
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang."
They finally had cotton clothes to wear and no longer had to suffer from hunger and cold.
The younger children were a little shy. After glancing at Jiang Yue, they clutched their clothes tightly. Looking at the brand-new clothes, they couldn't contain their joy.
Aunt Zhang and her eldest daughter-in-law carried the quilt into the house.
Jiang Yue then noticed that the children's beds were made of various kinds of wood, all different sizes. There was also a dilapidated cabinet in the room, containing a pitifully small amount of clothing.
Jiang Yue had just noticed that the children's clothes were covered in patches, but despite the numerous patches, they were still clean. The house was also extremely clean.
According to Uncle Zhang, these children also have excellent academic performance.
The Zhang family helped spread out the quilts and put the grain on the bench in the corner.
Aunt Zhang called Tang Zhaodi and Lin Ling to come out.
Captain Zhang took out a stack of money, handed it to Li Jun, and said...
"This hundred yuan is also from Aunt Jiang."
When Li Jun saw the stack of money, he quickly refused it.
"Aunt Jiang, I can't accept this money."
Besides studying, they also work in the fields every day, herd sheep and cattle for the village, and do other jobs. They also go to the mountains to cut firewood and sell it to the villagers.
In short, they will find a way to do anything that can make money.
But they are too young and there aren't many ways for them to earn money. They still go hungry at the end of the year and can't save up much money.
It would take ten or twenty years to save up one hundred yuan.
