Gu Jiandong also saw the quilt at the door. He thought for a moment, turned around and went out. After a while, he brought back two military coats. "Uncle, aunt, we have too many military coats to wear, and they take up space. Can you help us share these two?"

The military coats are thick enough to be used as quilts when sleeping. They wear them during the day and cover themselves with them at night so they don’t have to suffer from the cold.

Military coats are such a popular item, there is no way they will not be able to wear them all. Although my nephew and son-in-law are soldiers, military coats are not cabbages that the army distributes every day. Even if they are cabbages, the army does not distribute so many every day. They know how tight supplies are these days.

The child must have said this in order to get them to accept it. "We all have thick clothes. Take these two military coats back for your parents to wear."

"My parents both have them."

"Uncle, aunt, we have several military coats. We can't wear them all in the box. They take up too much space. Why don't you take them? I can make some new clothes with the space in the box. Otherwise, I won't have any room to put my new clothes."

Luo Yulan gently tapped her niece's forehead and said, "Okay, okay, uncle and aunt will accept it."

They just accepted the two children's kindness.

Shen Shuyu blinked at Gu Jiandong. This man really had a tacit understanding with her. She didn't even say anything, but he knew to go back and get the military coat. She would have to reward this sensible man when she got back.

Shen Shuyu thought of letting her uncle and aunt wear military coats for now. When she returned, she would send them quilts and more cotton, since she had cotton planted in her space anyway.

It would definitely not be possible to take it out now. They didn't bring any cotton when they came here. If she gave the cotton to her uncle and aunt, Gu Jiandong would definitely know, and she wouldn't know how to explain it to Gu Jiandong then.

What Shen Shuyu didn't know was that Gu Jiandong had already known about her secret.

The cotton coats worn by Yang Cheng, Luo Yulan and others were not warm at all, so Shen Shuyu immediately asked her uncle and aunt to put on their military coats.

They actually had military coats. The eldest son was reluctant to wear the one he was given, so he took the new one home for them to wear and wore the old one himself. However, they were sent down to the countryside at that time and had no time to pack up. The military coats were taken away by those red-armbanded soldiers a long time ago. Luo Yulan felt sad when she thought about it.

"Military coats are different. I started sweating the moment I put them on."

Luo Yulan was also amused by her husband's words. "Of course the military coat given by my nephew's son-in-law is warm. If it wasn't warm, would the child give it to you to eat?"

They were going over to eat, so neither of them stayed at home. They came with Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong to help prepare the meal for tonight.

It's not like the 21st century now, where you can eat whatever you want during the Chinese New Year. Shen Shuyu and the others brought meat and dried vegetables, so tonight's reunion dinner has meat and rice, which is considered quite sumptuous.

Shen Shuyu said she wanted to eat dumplings, and Su Yuehong also made some dumplings. When they came over, Su Yuehong had just finished making the dumplings.

"Yuehong, if there's any work to do at home, just tell us. We can't eat for free."

They didn't eat white rice at all. Shen Shuyu told them not to bring rations, but they insisted on bringing them. Su Yuehong even said to them, "Isn't it a bit strange to say that we are all family? You said that eating white rice is not appropriate.

Even if you didn't tell me, I would still need your help with the work, otherwise Lao Gu and I would be too busy.

Yulan, please help cut some pickled cabbage. Lao Yang, please help keep an eye on the rice in the pot. It should be almost done."

There were dumplings and rice. Luo Yulan had gotten used to the hard life here. She wanted to save the dumplings for tomorrow, but she thought that this was not her home. Even if they didn't eat them, the old Gu family and her niece would still want to eat them.

There were four elders busy working, and the kitchen and the house were very small, so Gu Jiandong and Shen Shuyu didn't want to squeeze in the house. Gu Jiandong went to fetch water and Shen Shuyu went with him.

The road was long enough, and Shen Shuyu felt a little tired after following him home. "Shuyu, go back to the house and rest. Don't follow me. I'll make two more trips and the water tank will be full. It will be quick."

What's the hurry? It's such a long way, and it's dark by the time we get there and back. But there's nothing we can do. They need water, and if Gu Jiandong doesn't carry it, then Gu Changfeng has to. They came here because they wanted to make their parents' life easier. Gu Jiandong tried his best to do the work he could.

Shen Shuyu tried her best. In fact, she and Gu Jiandong could fetch water faster, but he and his parents-in-law would not let them work. Before she was pregnant, Gu Jiandong did not let her work much, and after she was pregnant, Gu Jiandong let her work even less.

If she carried water, the man would be so nervous that his veins would bulge.

"Then go slowly. If you see the weather is not right, go home quickly."

"it is good."

Bai Luobo was worried about him being alone, so he followed Gu Jiandong with his tail wagging.

Shen Shuyu felt relieved with Bai Luobo accompanying him. Bai Luobo was very smart and was often trained by Gu Jiandong. If there was any danger, Bai Luobo would be a good helper.

Shen Shuyu came in through the curtains. "Mom, aunt, is there anything else you need to do?"

"There's nothing to do. Sit down and talk to us."

The room was very warm because of the kang, which was heated because of the visit of their son and daughter-in-law. Otherwise, Gu Changfeng and Su Yuehong would usually be reluctant to heat the kang because it wastes firewood, which is hard to find, so they usually try to save as much as possible.

But the children are here. The environment is harsh enough. They can't let the children fight the cold with them. It wouldn't be right if it was just their sons. Sons are rough and it doesn't matter if they are a little cold. But they can't let their daughters-in-law be affected. They treat their daughters-in-law like their own daughters.

Su Yuehong felt guilty for not being able to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, so how could she let her daughter-in-law suffer from the cold?
