"Xiaojun, close your eyes. Mom wants to give you a surprise."
Liu Xiaojun was about to announce to everyone that he had obtained a first-level machinist certificate when he was interrupted by Liu Huizhen.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Liu Huizhen said.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Huizhen holding an oversized cotton coat in her hand. The coat was long enough to reach his ankles, and no one in the family could wear it except him.
This is for myself.
Liu Xiaojun was touched and blamed at the same time: "Mom, didn't I tell you that we didn't buy enough fabric? It's just enough for you and Tangtang to make a suit!"
"I told you to focus on yourself and Tangtang first, but why did you do it to me first?"
Liu Huizhen didn't say anything, but He Yushui spoke:
"Brother Xiaojun, Aunt Huizhen is worried that you'll be cold running around outside all day!"
"Yes, Yu Shui and I are so envious!" Sha Zhu also said.
It would be great if Aunt Huizhen was his mother. A child who is loved by his mother is like a treasure.
His mother passed away early, and no one had cared about whether he was cold for a long time.
Seeing Liu Xiaojun and Aunt Huizhen like this, Sha Zhu is really envious.
He Yushui couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. Brother Xiaojun was so lucky to have Aunt Huizhen. It would be great if she also had a mother.
Liu Huizhen put the clothes on Liu Xiaojun and said, "Look, you went hunting alone in the cold weather, and came back frozen like a quail. Mom saw it all."
"In this situation, Mom must make clothes for you first!"
Liu Xiaojun has been busy lately, going out early and coming back late. When he comes back, he adds rice and buys cotton for the family.
She saw it all and felt so distressed!
"Button up quickly and see if your son looks handsome in this outfit?" Liu Huizhen couldn't help but joke.
Liu Xiaojun buttoned up his coat, and as soon as he put on the new cotton-padded jacket, he felt immediately different.
The old cotton-padded jacket was heavy and not warm enough to wear.
Liu Huizhen's jacket is made of thick material and stuffed with plenty of cotton. When you put on this new cotton-padded jacket, you will feel much warmer immediately!
The fabric is army green, and it looks like the military coats in TV dramas when worn.
"Turn around twice for everyone to see." Liu Huizhen said happily.
My son looks even more handsome in this green coat!
In two years, he will be talking about getting married. This will surely fascinate all the girls!
"Brother is so handsome!" Tangtang looked at Liu Xiaojun with starry eyes.
He Yushui also looked at Liu Xiaojun with a crazy look on her face.
Before, Xiaojun was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket, and I just thought he was a little handsome.
I didn’t expect that once I put on this new cotton-padded jacket, I would look more handsome than the stars in the posters!
Sha Zhu looked at his sister's face full of tea and couldn't help but give her a chestnut:
"You're just being mean, Yu Shui. Only your brother Xiaojun is handsome, but I'm not your real brother, right?"
As he spoke, Sha Zhu looked at Liu Xiaojun with envy.
Not to mention, the old cotton-padded jacket really suppressed the boy's temperament.
Now that I put on this new cotton-padded jacket, that feeling comes up immediately!
He looks like he has been a soldier, tall and handsome!
Hearing his brother's words, He Yushui rolled his eyes and jokingly said, "Brother, don't you know what you are like?"
"Hey, you girl!"
"Okay, okay, Shazhu, Yushui, stop playing and sit down to taste your aunt's cooking." Liu Huizhen also said with admiration.
"Okay! I'm sure my aunt will do it well."
Liu Xiaojun also sat down and looked at the worn cotton coats on his sister and Liu Huizhen, and he had an idea of what was going on.
The weather is getting colder and colder. I remember it dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius at the coldest time.
The tattered cotton jackets they were wearing could not withstand the temperature at all, and they might even catch a cold.
It seems that I have to go to the black market tomorrow to buy enough cloth and cotton, at least I can't let Liu Huizhen and Tangtang go hungry anymore.
After the meal, Sha Zhu took out twenty-five yuan and said:
"Aunt Huizhen, this is my salary and food allowance for this month. Yu Shui and I will stay at your house for the next month. Just provide us with food."
Liu Huizhen took one look and immediately pushed it back: "That won't do. Why are you giving me so much money? Even if you provide meals, I won't spend that much!"
"Aunt Huizhen, just take it. In just the week I've been here, your family has cooked meat several times. Yushui and I just helped you take care of the rabbits and didn't do anything else. I feel bad about this!"
"Xiaojun, say something." Seeing that she couldn't persuade Sha Zhu, Liu Huizhen looked at Liu Xiaojun for help.
Liu Xiaojun was also stunned.
I didn't expect Sha Zhu to do this.
You know, 25 yuan can buy a lot of things these days.
Rice, meat and other things can always be obtained by Sha Zhu, a cook, and there is no shortage of them at all.
They are probably doing this now because Liu Huizhen is truly good to them.
Liu Xiaojun: "Brother Zhu, even if it's just for food, how much can you and Yushui eat? You don't need so much money!"
"How about this? I see that the cotton clothes you and Yu Shui are wearing are too thin. Why don't you use this money to buy some cotton and have my mother fill your cotton-padded jackets to prevent you from getting cold outside."
When Liu Huizhen heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "That's a good idea."
Now, it was Sha Zhu's turn to feel embarrassed: "Aunt Huizhen, Xiaojun, cotton is so hard to buy right now. If you could get some cotton for me, it would be a huge help to me!"
"I value favors the most. Now, not only did I not lose the food money, but I also owe Aunt Huizhen a favor."
Liu Huizhen naturally would not forget that when her family was in the most difficult times, Sha Zhu was the only one in the entire courtyard who helped the most.
