Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

After Jiang Jingcheng returned home, he told his father and mother about this.

"Yeah, why didn't we think of this solution?" Jiang's father and mother were originally worried about who to make clothes for with the cloth at home, but now they don't have to worry anymore.

Father Jiang sat aside and sighed that He Zhiqing and his friends were so kind.

Jiang Jingcheng brought back so much cotton from the mountain. Jiang's parents knew about it. They just thought that these kids took out the cotton that was mailed by their family. They didn't know that they brought it back for "speculation".

Without waiting for Jiang Jingcheng to rest at home, his mother asked him to go up the mountain with his cotton coat.

"Hurry up and get your grandfather's clothes back. Your father and I will rush to work on them these few days and try to finish them before the next snow falls. The weather is getting colder and colder, don't let them get cold."

Jiang's mother was a quick and skillful person. After giving Jiang Jingcheng instructions, she went back to the house and got out a quilt, asking him to take it up the mountain and change the quilt that Grandpa Jiang and the others were using.

Jiang Jingcheng looked at the cotton coats piled on the table and said

"Mom, is there any chance that I can't carry so much by myself?"

It was pitch dark, and no matter how familiar he was with the way up the mountain, he couldn't carry so many things. What's more, there was still a lot of snow on the mountain that hadn't melted yet. He had to walk in deep snow and shallow snow, and it would also tear He Feiyang and the others' cotton coats.

Jiang's mother: "..."

He coughed lightly and said that they should change their clothes first and put the quilt in place. Then the old man and the others could sleep in their cotton clothes, and then he carried the quilt back into the house.

Then, Jiang Jingcheng went up the mountain with four sets of cotton coats.

After a conversation that appealed to their emotions and reason, the four people on the mountain took off their clothes and handed them to Jiang Jingcheng.

They were so moved that they couldn't express it in words.

Jiang Jingcheng...I dare not move!

At first, his grandfather and grandfather refused to change his clothes no matter what, and they wanted to beat him, and he didn't dare to hide.

Fortunately, I agreed in the end.

After bringing the old clothes back home, Jiang Jingcheng's family of four sat under the oil lamp and took apart the clothes. Even Jiang Xuyang was called over. He sat obediently on the kang and used a small piece of iron in his hand to pull out the threads.

There was only one pair of scissors in the house. Jiang's father got a few small pieces of iron from somewhere, sharpened one side, and gave one piece to each of his two sons, who helped him pick out the thread ends.

Jiang Jingcheng looked at the iron sheet in his hand and felt that it looked familiar. Why did it look so much like the iron sheet that was placed in the flue when he was building a kang for Song Shuangshuang's house?

The size wasn't right at the time, so the scraps were taken back by his dad?

You know what, it’s quite useful.

The family of four took apart the cotton-padded clothes overnight. After taking apart the clothes, Jiang Xuyang went back to his room and lay down. He felt dizzy and shouted that he would never do this job again. He fell asleep soon.

Jiang Jingcheng was different. He closed his eyes and the small floral pattern that hadn't appeared for a long time reappeared. However, the small floral pattern only appeared for a moment, and then turned into a bright red vest.

Jiang Jingcheng opened his eyes instantly and sat up from the kang.

How did it become a red vest?

He shook his head and lay down again.

A dreamless night.

The following steps would not require the help of Jiang Jingcheng and his brother, but only Jiang's father and mother could do it. They were only asked to wash the clothes and leather that had been taken off.

As for why Jiang's father learned to do manual labor, it was because he could no longer do heavy labor after his leg was broken, and he didn't want Jiang's mother to have to take care of the farm and the house, so he learned it slowly on his own, and his skills are quite good.

Fortunately, the clothes were ready-made, so we just had to fill them with cotton and patch up the worn areas. After all, for Grandpa Jiang and his people, the more worn out they were, the better.

In just two days, four cotton-padded coats were refilled with cotton.

"Jingcheng, you should send it to grandpa and the others tonight, and bring back a quilt. Wash the quilt skin tonight, and ask your dad to fluff the old cotton tomorrow. It looks like it's going to snow today."

It’s said that Jiang’s father knows a lot, he can even fluff cotton.

Although they don't usually interact with the villagers, they still come to them when they have something to do. But it's not often, and not every household has to make a new quilt and fluff the cotton every day.

"I see."

Before the quilt was ready, it snowed again. Fortunately, it was just a light snow and stopped after half a day.

It was snowing outside, and Jiang's father was also confused. Fortunately, Jiang's father and mother worked together, so they were much faster and finished it in two days.

Grandpa Jiang and his friends had all had new clothes and bedding, which was much better than in previous years.

He Feiyang and Song Youlin also took the small yellow croaker to the mountain in the past few days to return the things to Grandpa Sun. They explained to Grandpa Sun that they did not help for the things, and Grandpa Sun did not need to give them such valuable things.

Grandpa Sun didn't take it back after all, and the two men took the small yellow croaker back.

Because Feng Aiguo had reported them before, He Feiyang thought it would be safer for Song Shuangshuang and her brother to hide this thing. Last time, his book was left at Song Shuangshuang's place, and it was not found. It shows that their family has other places to hide things.

Song Shuangshuang directly found some storage boxes in the supermarket to store these valuable items.

Well, her money is not needed and is kept in her wallet.

Days passed by, and Song Shuangshuang and the others did not go to the black market during this period. They stayed at home, either thinking about what to eat today or what to eat the day after tomorrow.

Anyway, they couldn't live without food. Song Shuangshuang watched the kitchen stock getting less and less, and thought that she would have to go to the city with her brother one day to buy more food.

After dinner that day, Song Shuangshuang suggested that everyone only eat two meals a day before the beginning of spring. Eating three meals a day was not enough and was a bit too much.

Tan Anjing touched her increasingly round face and realized that she had indeed gained weight. Not to mention that she was the same as when she first went to the countryside, but she was much fatter than the last time she fainted on the road.

He Feiyang recalled how he had been dressing these past two days and it seemed that his clothes were a little tighter than last year.

"Okay, then let's have two meals. Have some steamed bread and cabbage and so on, and save the rice." Although He Feiyang didn't cook, he could see that the food in the bag had gone down a bit quickly during this period.

The amount he eats in one meal now is almost the same as the amount he ate in one day when he was in the educated youth camp last year. If he continues to eat like this, he will probably have too much clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year, even before next winter.

"Yeah, well, we can just eat cornmeal cakes and spicy cabbage."

After eating spicy cabbage several times, Tan Anjing has fallen in love with this dish and eats it every two days.

Song Shuangshuang: "..."

Forget it, spicy cabbage goes well with rice. She had to take it out slowly, but she didn't dare let Tan Anjing eat it often.

Song Shuangshuang planned to stay at home and read books during the winter. Although she had not forgotten the knowledge she had learned before, she had to review it frequently. She didn't dare to cram at the last minute, otherwise she would be caught off guard.

As for Tan Anjing and the others...

Well, let’s wait until they find out and then ask her.
