218 Chapter 217, Can I Not Wear It
Looking at Qin Mucheng’s dejected look, Zhang Kun and Li Xu looked at each other and felt it was a little funny.
“Mucheng, Uncle promise you we will come back as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Qin Mucheng’s face. “Thank you, Uncle!”
The few of them exchanged a few pleasantries before Li Xu and Zhang Kun left with the few children.
Ji Yuanyuan sat in front of Zhang Kun’s bicycle and stuck her head to look behind him. He kept waving at Qin Mucheng.
It was the same for Qin Mucheng. If people who did not know about this knew about his reluctance, they would think that they had not seen each other for years!
When the group of people had disappeared, Qin Junshan gently knocked on Qin Mucheng’s head. “Alright, Hurry up and enter the house.”
Qin Mucheng followed Qin Junshan into the house.
Zhang Kun and Li Xu walked very slowly on the way.
It had snowed a few days ago, and the snow in the city had melted completely. However, it was still a vast expanse of whiteness when they left the city.
Li Xu was fine. She was riding a tricycle. Even if she slipped, she would not fall.
However, Zhang Kun had to be very careful.
He was riding a two-wheeled bicycle. If they’re not careful, he will fall.
He was okay if he fell, but there were still children on the bicycle!
Therefore, they had to walk for two hours before they arrived.
As usual, Zhang Dali and Wang Yuechu were still waiting at the village entrance.
The two of them were wearing thick cotton clothes and pants. Only their eyes were exposed. They held each other’s hands and supported each other.
Ji Zi’ang jumped down from the back seat of Zhang Kun’s car. “Grandpa, Grandma!”
He ran to Wang Yuechu’s side. “Grandma, are you cold? Why are you waiting here? It’s not like we don’t know the way!”
Wang Yuechu pulled her hand out of her sleeve and covered ji Zi’ang’s red face. “Grandpa, Grandma, you’re wearing thick clothes. You’re not cold at all. We’ll wait here so that we can see you guys earlier.”
She then reached out and touch Ji Zi’ang’s clothes. “Why are you wearing so little? Are you cold? Let’s go home quickly. Grandma has made you new cotton-padded clothes. Let’s go home and see if they fit.”
Li Xu called out politely, “Dad, Mom!”
Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan also got out of the car and greeted in unison, “Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!”
Zhang Dali nodded awkwardly. “Hello to you too!”
The family quickly returned home. Zhang Jun’s family of three was there. Hao meiting carried the child in the courtyard while Zhang Jun busied himself in the kitchen.
When Zhang Dali and Wang Yuechu were at home, they did not burn the stove. They felt that charcoal was too expensive.
Usually, they could only burn the heated brick bed for warmth. There was plenty of firewood in the village. It did not cost money to burn firewood. If they heated the bed, it would not be so cold even if they wore more clothes.
However, now that the children were back, they could not let the children stay cold with them.
In the morning, Zhang Dali went to find the stove at the last minute and installed it.
There was still some old charcoal left in the utility room.
These charcoal were bought by the old couple when their granddaughter was still alive. It was the same at that time. Every New Year, their son would bring his granddaughter back for the New Year.
They feared their granddaughter would be frozen, so they bought the stove and coals.
But they didn’t expect that they would never use the charcoal again.
It hadn’t been used for many years. The pipe was leaking, and the handle of the stove was broken. The house was filled with smoke.
Zhang Jun came over early in the morning and started to repair it. They could finally use it now.
He heard a voice and came out of the house. “Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re back!”
Zhang Kun nodded and walked to Hao Meiting’s side. He opened his hand to his nephew. “Shuoshuo, let Uncle hug you!”
The child could only see Zhang Kun a few times a year and was very unfamiliar with him.
He hid in Hao Meiting’s arms and looked at Zhang Kun warily.
Seeing this, Zhang Jun quickly walked out. “Shuoshuo, this is uncle. Quick, let Uncle Hug You.”
Shuoshuo simply hugged Hao Meiting’s neck and pretended not to hear him.
Zhang Kun withdrew his hand awkwardly, and Hao meiting was also quite embarrassed. “Big Brother, he’s just sleepy. He didn’t sleep enough this morning!”
Wang Yuechu walked behind them. She held Ji Zi’ang’s hand and called out to everyone, “Quickly enter the house to get warm. Don’t just stand there.”
Zhang Kun smiled and did not mind. “Let’s go in. It’s too cold outside.”
Wang Yuechu led Ji Ziang into the house. “Quickly get on the Kang. Warm up on the heated brick bed!”
Ji Zi’ang had just sat on the edge of the heated brick bed when Wang Yuechu reached out to help Ji Zi’ang take off his shoes.
Ji Zi’ang was startled and quickly stopped her. “Grandma, I’ll take them off myself.”
He quickly took off his shoes and climbed onto the heated brick bed.
Wang Yuechu placed Ji Zi’ang’s shoes correctly before she pulled out a blanket. “Use the blanket to cover yourself. It’ll be warmer.”
Ji Zixuan listened to her, but she still reached out to help him with his slippers.
Ji Zixuan, who was still bashful at first, was so frightened that he quickly took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed and sat beside Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Yuanyuan naturally did not need others to worry about him. Li Xu carried her up.
Wang Yuechu turned around and went to another room. Very quickly, she came over with a pile of clothes. “I’ve made a whole set of cotton clothes for each of the children. Try them on. If they don’t fit, I’ll change them for you!”
She placed all the cotton clothes on the bed and patted them with some pride. “This cotton is all new. It just came this year. I specially went to the market to buy this flowery cloth. They are all the most fashionable styles.”
Seeing Wang Yuechu’s excited look, Li Xu could not bear to disturb her mood. She quickly pulled Ji Yuanyuan up. “Come, change into it for Grandma to see!”
Wang Yuechu pulled out a set. “This is Yuanyuan’s. The color of the flowery cloth is the best.”
To be honest, this flowery cloth was not considered good-looking. It was even a little rustic.
However, Ji Yuanyuan still cooperated and let Li Xu help her change into her clothes.
She was already delighted that someone was making it for her and thinking of her.
Moreover, in the eyes of the old woman, no matter how expensive the down jacket was, it was not as warm as the cotton clothes and cotton pants she had personally made. These were already the clothes that they felt were the warmest and most beautiful.
In the past, when she was still in the Ji family. As their biological grandmother, Xu Xiuhua did not even give them a piece of cloth, let alone cotton clothes and cotton pants.
Now, they finally had a grandmother’s love.
Wang Yuechu had a good handcraft, she only met Ji Yuanyuan twice, but the clothes she made fit her very well, as if they were tailor-made.
It had to be said that the cotton-padded clothes were indeed warm.
They were soft and pleasant to wear, and there was also the smell of sunlight.
Ji Zi’ang watched from the side as his sister’s branded down jacket was replaced by the rustic cotton-padded jacket and pants. He could not help but laugh.
“Here, this is Zi’ang’s.” Wang Yuechu took out another set and handed it to Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Zi’ang’s face immediately turned bitter. “Grandma, can I not wear it?”
Seeing this, Li Xu’s face turned cold.
Wang Yuechu was a little surprised and was about to say something when Ji Zi’ang immediately stood up when he saw Li Xu’s expression. “I’ll put it on now!”
