Chapter 217 Can I Not Wear It
Seeing Qin Mucheng's lost look, Zhang Kun and Li Xu looked at each other and both found it a little funny.
"Mu Cheng, uncle promised you that he would be back as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Qin Mucheng finally smiled: "Thank you, uncle!"
After a few pleasantries, Li Xu and Zhang Kun took the children away.
Ji Yuanyuan sat in front of Zhang Kun's bicycle, leaned her head to look back, and kept waving at Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng was the same. His reluctance to part was so strong that people who didn't know the truth would think they hadn't seen each other for years!
When the group of people disappeared, Qin Junshan tapped Qin Mucheng on the head gently and said, "Alright, come into the house quickly."
Qin Mucheng followed Qin Junshan into the house, looking back every few steps.
Zhang Kun and Li Xu walked very slowly along the way.
It snowed a few days ago and the snow in the city has melted away, but outside the city, the scenery is still white.
Li Xu was fine, as she was riding a tricycle, so even if she slipped, she wouldn't fall.
But Zhang Kun has to be extra careful.
He was riding a two-wheeled bicycle, and if he wasn't careful he would fall flat on his face.
He fell and it’s okay, but there are children in the car!
So, the journey, which was originally not far, took two hours to arrive.
Zhang Dali and Wang Yueju were waiting at the village entrance as usual.
The two men were wearing thick cotton coats and trousers, with only their eyes exposed. They were holding their hands in their pockets, supporting each other.
Ji Ziang jumped down from Zhang Kun's back seat, "Grandpa and grandma!"
He ran to Wang Yueju and said, "Grandma, are you cold? Why are you waiting here? It's not like we don't know the way!"
Wang Yueju pulled her hands out of her sleeves and placed them on Ji Ziang's red face: "Grandpa and grandma are wearing thick clothes, so they are not cold at all. If we wait here, we can see you earlier."
Then, she reached out her hand and touched Ji Ziang's clothes: "Why are you wearing so little? Are you cold? Let's go home quickly. Grandma made you a new cotton coat and trousers. Let's go home and try them on to see if they fit."
Li Xu called out politely, "Dad, Mom!"
Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan also got out of the car and shouted in unison, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!"
Zhang Dali nodded awkwardly: "Hello to you too!"
The family returned home quickly, and Zhang Jun and his family of three were there. Hao Meiting was holding the child in the yard, and Zhang Jun was busy in the kitchen.
When the elderly couple Zhang Dali and Wang Yueju were at home, they did not use a stove because they thought charcoal was too expensive.
Normally they could only heat the kang for heating, and there was plenty of firewood in the village. Burning firewood was free, and the kang was heated up, so they could put on more clothes and it wouldn't be so cold.
But now that the children are back, we can't let them suffer the cold with them.
So, this morning, Zhang Dali went to find the stove and installed it.
There was still some old charcoal left in the utility room.
The charcoal was bought by the old couple when their granddaughter was still alive. At that time, their son would bring his granddaughter home to celebrate the New Year.
They were afraid that their granddaughter would be cold, so they bought a stove and coal.
But I didn’t expect that the charcoal was never used again.
It hadn't been used for years, the chimney was leaking, and the stove handle was broken, so the whole house was filled with smoke.
Zhang Jun came early in the morning and started to repair it. After repairing it now, it can finally be used.
He heard the voice and came out of the house, "Brother, sister-in-law, you are back!"
Zhang Kun nodded, walked to Hao Meiting, and opened his arms to his nephew: "Shuo Shuo, uncle will hug you!"
The child only sees Zhang Kun a few times a year and feels very unfamiliar with him.
Hiding in Hao Meiting's arms, he looked at Zhang Kun vigilantly.
Zhang Jun came out quickly upon seeing this: "Shuo Shuo, this is your uncle, come and give him a hug."
Shuo Shuo simply hugged Hao Meiting's neck and pretended not to hear.
Zhang Kun withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly. Hao Meiting was also quite embarrassed: "Brother, he is just sleepy. He didn't get enough sleep this morning!"
Wang Yueju walked behind, holding Ji Ziang's hand and calling everyone, "Come into the house and warm up, don't stand here anymore."
Zhang Kun smiled and didn't care: "Come inside, it's too cold outside."
Wang Yueju led Ji Ziang into the house, "Hurry up and get on the kang, it's warm there!"
As soon as Ji Ziang sat down on the edge of the kang, Wang Yueju reached out to help Ji Ziang take off his shoes.
Ji Ziang was shocked and quickly stopped her, saying, "Grandma, I can take it off myself."
He quickly took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang.
Wang Yueju put Ji Ziang's shoes in order, then pulled out a quilt, "Cover yourself with the quilt to keep warm."
Ji Zixuan followed in, and she still reached out to help him take off his shoes.
Ji Zixuan, who was originally hesitant, was so scared that he quickly took off his shoes, climbed up the pit, and sat next to Ji Ziang.
Naturally, no one else needed to worry about Ji Yuanyuan, as Li Xu carried her up.
Wang Yueju turned around and went to another room, and soon came back with a pile of clothes. "I made a set of cotton coats and trousers for each child. Try them on. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll make alterations for you!"
She put all the cotton-padded clothes and trousers on the kang, patting them with some pride: "The cotton is all new, just harvested this year. I bought these floral fabrics specially at the market, they are all the most fashionable styles."
Seeing Wang Yueju's excitement, Li Xu couldn't bear to disturb her interest, and quickly pulled Ji Yuanyuan up: "Come, put it on and show grandma!"
Wang Yueju took out a set and said, "This is Yuanyuan's. The pattern is the most beautiful."
To be honest, this floral cloth is not really nice looking, and even a bit tacky.
But Ji Yuanyuan still cooperated and let Li Xu help her change her clothes.
She was already very happy that someone was doing it for her and that they could think about her.
Moreover, in the eyes of the elderly, no matter how expensive the down jacket is, it is not as warm as the cotton-padded jacket and trousers made by hand. This is already the warmest clothing they think, with the best-looking pattern.
Before, when she was still in the Ji family, Xu Xiuhua, as their grandmother, never gave them cotton clothes or trousers, not even a piece of cloth.
Now, they finally have their grandma to take care of them.
Wang Yueju was very skillful, and she had only met Ji Yuanyuan twice, but the dress was made to fit her perfectly, as if it was tailor-made.
I have to say, these cotton clothes are indeed warm.
It feels soft and fluffy when worn, and has a scent of sunshine.
Ji Ziang was watching from the side, and couldn't help laughing as he saw his sister's brand-name down jacket was replaced by a rustic cotton coat and trousers.
"Here, this is Ziang's." Wang Yueju took out another set and handed it to Ji Ziang.
Ji Ziang suddenly looked miserable, "Grandma, can I not wear it?"
Li Xu's face turned cold when he saw this.
Wang Yueju was a little surprised and was about to speak, but Ji Ziang stood up immediately after seeing Li Xu's expression and said, "I'll change it right away!"
