98. Chapter 98: Helping in Times of Need 2



No matter people or things, nothing can stand being talked about.

After a night of north wind, it first drizzled, then there was a rustling sound, and the eyes were filled with tiny snow beads that looked like grains of salt. Around ten o'clock in the morning, large snowflakes began to fall.

The thatched hut could not block the cold air from coming in, but fortunately Feng Qingxue brought back a lot of coal among the supplies yesterday.

Now, there is a brazier burning in the bedroom.

She bought the brazier from a scrapyard. It was made of brass and had exquisite patterns. It must be an antique.

With the brazier, the room is much warmer.

Feng Qingxue threw two sweet potatoes into the brazier, and soon the house was filled with the aroma of sweet potatoes.

While waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked, Feng Qingyun, wrapped up like a ball, jumped around the room.

"Sister, sister, it's snowing. Do we have enough food? How about I eat less at noon and save it for the next meal?"

"You don't need to save, there's enough to eat."

"Oh!" Feng Qingyun was tired of jumping around. The sweet potatoes in the brazier were cooked. She used a fire hook to hook the sweet potatoes out and put them on the ground to dry. When they were ready to be handled, she brought them to Feng Qingxue, peeled the sweet potatoes and fed them to Feng Qingxue first. Then she looked at the needlework in her hands, "Sister, we have a quilt. Why are you still using one? This quilt is bigger and thicker than ours."

Feng Qingxue rubbed her scalp with the needle and smiled, "I made it for Tianjun and Tianzhi."

She had noticed a long time ago that Mr. Lu and his grandchildren all used a haystack as their bed, with only a torn and rotten old quilt. One could tell at a glance that the cotton in the quilt had already hardened into a clumping mass, so they usually had to make do with sleeping under a military coat or cotton padded jacket.

So, after she had taken apart and altered the old clothes a few days ago, she also took apart the old quilts and clothes she had taken from her brother and sister-in-law, washed them, and dried them to make a quilt. The quilt cover and lining were made from the old clothes she had taken apart, and she thought the size was not big enough, so she put some old clothes on top of it. It looked very inconspicuous, but the cotton inside was new, fluffy and soft.

In her previous life, she had purchased so much cotton in the northwest, and she knew that she didn't know how to fluff the cotton, which would be inconvenient to use in the future. After returning home, she spent a lot of money to go to the cotton mill to fluff all the cotton into cotton batts of different sizes and thicknesses.

The old cotton was not wasted. It was carefully beaten several times and made into a thick mattress.

Feng Qingxue had often told her sister recently that because of the money and tickets given by Lu Jiang, they had enough supplies for the winter and didn't have to go out to beg for food. So when she heard that it was for the Lu family, Feng Qingyun nodded her head and said seriously, "It should be given."

The wind and snow showed no sign of stopping. After finishing her needlework, Feng Qingxue did not dare to delay and was busy making pancakes, steamed buns, and steamed dumplings, all made of coarse grains. She also made one or two hundred dumplings and froze them. The filling was basically cabbage, and a small portion was mixed with some oil residue and vermicelli. She kept some for herself and packed the rest and sent them to the Lu family together with clothes and quilts.

On the snowy road, Feng Qingxue did not bring Feng Qingyun with her, so she put the things in the space. She took them out when she was almost at Wanglou Brigade after taking a detour, and added some noodles, brown rice, vegetable steamed bread, eggs, sausages and other things from the space.

Feng Qingxue was exhausted from carrying all the large and small bags to Lu's house.

There was only an old quilt in the house. Mr. Lu was old, and Lu Tianjun and Lu Tianzhi were young. They all found the night very difficult to endure. When they saw the things Feng Qingxue had brought in the wind and snow, the eyes of the three grandfather and grandson suddenly became red.
