Shen Shuyu brought back these two large bags of cotton at the right time. Old Mrs. Shen was thinking of going back to her parents' home tomorrow to ask the neighbors if they had any extra cotton so that she could exchange some for it. But now they were no longer needed.
There is so much cotton that I can’t use it all. I can make two quilts with some left over.
But you don't need to make a quilt. At most, you can add some more cotton in it. In winter, you can heat the kang and it will be very warm in the house. Even if you don't add more cotton, it won't be cold.
After getting the cotton back, Mrs. Shen and her daughter stopped doing other things and sat down to make cotton clothes, cotton shoes and cotton pants.
It was no longer time to go to work, and Zhang Cuicui and the others had nothing to do, so they went back to the house to get needles and thread and help with the work.
If my parents-in-law can finish their cotton-padded clothes, trousers and shoes earlier, they can also distribute the remaining cotton earlier.
The cotton was grown by Shen Shuyu herself in the space. The color was not pure white, but light yellow, and there were some small black spots on the cotton balls.
The black spots on it don't look very nice, but it doesn't affect it at all.
Gu Jiandong grabbed a handful of cotton, rolled it into a ball, and called Shen Jiabao, Jiawei, Jiaguo, and Shen Qiu to join him.
They were playing ball tossing in the yard, and everyone was having a lot of fun. Shen Shuyu sat next to Old Lady Shen. She was not very good at needlework, but she could sew clothes. The result was just not very good-looking.
Today she became interested, so she picked up the needle and thread and cotton and sewed a rabbit-shaped doll for Gu Jiandong.
After sewing it, she showed it to Old Lady Shen, Shen Chunling and the others, "Grandma, Second Aunt, and Auntie, do you think the doll I sewed is pretty?"
Old Lady Shen was about to praise, but when she saw the odd-looking doll in Guaibao's hand, she hesitated and said, "Oh, this is really beautiful. Is this a duck?"
Shen Chunling laughed, "Mom, you must be dazzled. This is not a duck, it's clearly a goose!"
Zhang Cuicui shook her head, "Mother, you two are wrong, second sister, what Shu Yu sewed is clearly a chicken."
Li Caixia said, "This isn't a duck, goose, or chicken, it's clearly a dog."
Liu Pan looked at it and said, "It's not a dog, it's a bird!"
Shen Shuyu: "This is a rabbit. I sewed a rabbit for Gu Jiandong."
"..."
Old Mrs. Shen took a sip of water and said, "It's a rabbit. Oh, I'm old and my eyesight is blurry. I didn't recognize it. My sweet baby is so clever and skillful. He sewed it just like the real thing.
Sewing dolls is a waste of your eyesight. Whatever you want to sew, tell your second aunt next time and let her sew it for you."
Liu Pandi: Her mother-in-law is lying with her eyes open!
Liu Pandi complained in her heart but didn't dare say it out loud. She still wanted cotton.
Shen Shuyu was quite satisfied with the rabbit doll she had sewn. She waved to Gu Jiandong and said, "Gu Jiandong, this is what I made for you. Do you like it?"
Gu Jiandong pinched the doll, his eyes smiling into crescents, "I like it!"
Gu Jiandong cherished everything Shen Shuyu gave him. He wanted to play with the ball and put the doll back in the house. Then he came out and saw Bai Luobo returning to the house. He thought about it, turned back to the house and locked the doll in the box, not letting Bai Luobo touch it.
White Radish came out with its head hanging down, and kept scratching Shen Shuyu with its paws, indicating that Shen Shuyu should sew one for it as well.
Shen Shuyu sewed a puppy-shaped doll for it. Bai Luobo held the freshly made doll in its mouth and went out to show off to its good friend Dahuang.
At night, Shen Shuyu went to the cowshed while the family was asleep. It was cold, so Shen Erzhu moved them to a new room opposite the cowshed.
They were sent down to the countryside, so they didn't even have to think about living well. The houses they lived in could at best shelter them from the wind and rain, which was considered pretty good.
Like the captains of other brigades, they didn't care about the lives of the people in the cowshed, and naturally they didn't care about the houses they lived in.
Seeing that the weather was getting cold, Shen Erzhu offered to let them move to another room, which was a rare kindness from the captain.
Shen Shuyu thought she would have to spend a lot of time to convince her second grandfather, but she didn't expect that her second grandfather would change the house for her grandparents without her even saying a word.
The thatched hut they lived in had no door, so Yang Zhen found two wooden boards to serve as a door.
Shen Shuyu knocked on the wooden board before entering the door and then pulled it open.
Taotao was still awake. Seeing Shen Shuyu coming, the little guy rushed over and hugged Shen Shuyu's thighs, "Sister, you are here. Taotao missed you so much."
Taotao spoke softly and looked very cute. Shen Shuyu liked this little brother very much in her heart. She touched his head and hugged him, "Sister misses Taotao too."
Liang Jun was folding clothes. He turned his head and said with a smile, "Shu Yu, Taotao is a heavy child. Put him down so that he won't get tired later."
Yang Zhen took the little grandson without saying anything and patted his butt. "After the New Year, you will be six years old. You still want your sister to hold you. Aren't you ashamed?"
Taotao giggled, revealing his leaky front teeth. "I like my sister hugging me. She smells so good, just like mommy!"
When the couple heard their grandson talking about his daughter-in-law, a trace of sadness appeared in their eyes. Shen Shuyu saw this scene.
"Grandpa, grandma, the weather is getting colder. You don't have thick cotton coats and trousers, so I brought them for you."
This time, Shen Shuyu brought three sets of cotton coats and trousers, one set for each of them, as well as three pairs of cotton shoes and a quilt.
Shen Shuyu sewed patches on the cotton coat, quilt, cotton pants, and cotton shoes. Shen Shuyu's needlework was really ugly. The broken patches, coupled with her terrible needlework, made the cotton coat, cotton pants, and cotton shoes look torn and tattered.
Taotao put his little face on the quilt and said happily, "Quilt, grandpa, grandma, and sister brought us thick quilts, as well as clothes, pants, and shoes. With these, we will never catch a cold when we sleep at night again."
"Yes, yes, we won't catch a cold at night. Sister is so good to Taotao, Taotao must always remember it in his heart, okay?"
"I know. Sister is good to Taotao and to Grandpa and Grandma. Taotao will be good to Sister and protect Sister when he grows up!"
Yang Zhen smiled with relief!
When Shen Shuyu came this time, Yang Zhen gave her an address. Shen Shuyu was confused and asked, "Grandpa, what is this address?"
Yang Zhen said solemnly, "Son, if it's convenient for you, please go on a long journey and help Grandpa take out the things on the address and hide them in a safe place."
Liang Jun, who was standing next to him, looked embarrassed. He opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Shen Shuyu put away the note with the address on it. Without asking anything else, she only said, "I'll go buy the ticket tomorrow. I'll leave as soon as I buy the ticket."
"Be careful. If you find something wrong, don't worry about it. Your safety is the most important thing."
Shen Shuyu nodded and talked to Liang Jun for a while, then left the cowshed.
When she left the cowshed, Liang Jun's face changed and she got angry with her husband for the first time.
"Old Yang, what are you doing? If you know Shuyu's safety is the most important, why did you let her go? Shuyu has been here all her life, and we've never been by her side to protect her for a single day. Why let her risk her life to get those things out? Don't you know how cruel and ruthless those people are?"
