Chapter 98 Helping in Times of Need 2

No matter people or things, they can't stand being talked about.

After a night of north wind, it first drizzled, then rustled, and the eyes were full of tiny snow beads like salt grains. At about ten o'clock in the morning, large snowflakes were flying.

The thatched house could not block the cold air at all. Fortunately, Feng Qingxue brought back a lot of coal among the supplies yesterday.

Now, there is a brazier burning in the bedroom.

The brazier was bought from a scrap collection station with her money. It is made of brass and has exquisite patterns. It should be an antique.

With the brazier, the room is much warmer.

Feng Qingxue threw two sweet potatoes into the brazier. Before long, the room was filled with the fragrance of sweet potatoes.

While waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked, Feng Qingyun, wrapped like a ball, jumped around the room.

"Sister, sister, it's snowing. Do we have enough food? How about I eat less at noon and save it for the next meal?"

"You don't have to save it. It's enough."

"Oh!" Feng Qingyun was tired of jumping around. The sweet potatoes in the brazier were cooked. She took the fire hook to hook the sweet potatoes out and put them on the ground to dry. When they were ready, she brought them to Feng Qingxue, peeled the sweet potatoes and fed them to Feng Qingxue. Then she looked at the needlework in her hands, "Sister, we have a quilt. Why are you still wearing a quilt? This quilt is bigger and thicker than ours."

Feng Qingxue rubbed her scalp with the needle and smiled, "It's for Tianjun and Tianzhi."

She had noticed that Lu's father and grandson all used straw piles as beds, with only a torn and rotten old quilt. It was obvious that the cotton in the quilt had already hardened into lumps. Usually, they should sleep with military coats and cotton clothes.

So, after she had taken apart and altered old clothes a few days ago, she also took apart the old quilts and clothes she had taken from her brother and sister-in-law, washed them, and dried them to make a quilt. The quilt cover and quilt lining were made from the ones that were taken apart. She thought the size was not big enough, so she put the old clothes together. It looked inconspicuous, but the cotton inside was new, fluffy and soft.

In her previous life, she bought so much cotton in the northwest. She knew that she didn't know how to fluff cotton, which would be inconvenient to use in the future. After returning home, she spent a lot of money to go to the cotton mill to fluff all the cotton into different sizes and thicknesses.

The old cotton that was taken apart was not wasted. She beat it carefully several times and made a thick mattress.

Feng Qingxue has often told her sister recently that because of the money and tickets given by Lu Jiang, they have enough supplies for the winter and don't have to go out to beg for food. So when she heard that it was for the Lu family, Feng Qingyun nodded her head and said seriously: "It should be given."

Feng Xue has never stopped. After finishing her needlework, Feng Qingxue didn't dare to delay. She was busy making pancakes, steamed buns, steamed buns, and steamed dumplings, all of which were made of mixed grain flour. She also made one or two hundred dumplings and froze them. They were basically filled with cabbage, and a small part was mixed with oil residue and vermicelli. She kept some for herself and packed the rest and sent them to the Lu family together with clothes and quilts.

During the snowy journey, Feng Qingxue didn't bring Feng Qingyun with her, so she put the things in the space and took them out when she was about to reach Wanglou Brigade. She also added some noodles, brown rice, vegetable steamed bread, eggs, sausages, etc. in the space.

Carrying large and small bags to the Lu family made Feng Qingxue very tired.

There was only an old quilt in the house. Mr. Lu was old, and Lu Tianjun and Lu Tianzhi were young. They all found the night very difficult to endure. When they saw the things Feng Qingxue had brought in the wind and snow, the eyes of the three grandfather and grandson suddenly turned red.
