The three coachmen thanked each other and left.Meiliang took Su Yunman to the old man's yard to distribute cotton clothes.Yunman led a team to each room to deliver cotton clothes.Some old people don't even have names.They are only known as "great-grandfather and three grandmothers".

Every old man who got cotton clothes and trousers was very excited.There was an old woman with age spots on her face.Her mouth is flattened.She was so excited that she didn't know what to say.After a while she buried her face in her wrinkled hands and wept.

What else did she say.Su Yunman didn't respond, Meiliang next to her suddenly changed her face.

All the old people live in this yard.After sending them away one by one, Hai Chao and Su Yunman met again in the yard.They were very puzzled by the cotton coats they were holding.

Meiliang's face changed, and she said something hoarsely, which scared Xu Yunman to tears.

"Grandpa Feng and Grandma Sanyuan were still measuring..."

After speaking, Meiliang lowered her head.Xu Yunman didn't know how to describe her current mood.Unknowingly, she shed tears.She suddenly understood what grandma had just said.She said: "Third sister is really unlucky..."

Xu Haichao also lowered his head.He felt that it was right to go out with his sister today.After reading the books of sages for so many years, he saw the cruelty of this world for the first time.

He couldn't help doubting this "Anping prosperity" for the first time.It was just a cold winter.How could he send away so many people who wanted to live?
Su Yunman wiped away her tears. "When did it happen? Why didn't we come to see him off?"

"How can we be so picky?" Mei Liang wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief. "It's much colder this year, and Yizhuang outside the city can't let it go. My mother-in-law took the lead and sent my grandparents away early..."

Su Yunman couldn't bear to ask again, but the next year Su Yunman heard the shocking news again, and Yizhuang couldn't put it down.
He was shocked and heartbroken.Only then did he know why his sister was busy living outside these days, serving porridge and making clothes.Su Haichao didn't take it seriously at the time.Now she was deeply ashamed of her narrow-mindedness.

Luckily, the kids didn't leave because they couldn't stand the cold.When Yunman and her children came out of the yard where the old man lived, all the children lined up in the yard according to the records on the list.

Xing Wu was surprised.Clothes were piled across from them, but no one came to grab them.But she stood there obediently, waiting for Xing Er and them to come.

Meiliang called out the name of the person who came happily.He took a cotton hat and a sea tide cotton jacket from Su Yunman.In the end, he printed a handprint on Meiliang's account book.

After getting the clothes, the children reacted differently.Some people bought cotton-padded clothes and washed their hands early, rubbing their hands happily.Some people just wipe the frostbite on their hands with a soft radish, and dare not touch new clothes.They can only watch others try on clothes.Some people rubbed their faces pityingly, but did not wipe their faces on their bodies.

"Don't get your new clothes dirty. How much do you need to wash before you wear them at night?" After Mei Liang handed out the cotton coats and hats, the excited and overwhelmed children explained one after another.The children answered in various languages. The seven or eight-year-old boy, with missing front teeth, was grunting.

There was a little girl who didn't have much hair on her head.She wanted to take away the new cotton hat, but was discounted by her brother. "You can wash your hair with gray water tomorrow!"

The little baby's mouth was puckered, but there were no words of rebuttal.

Seeing Xu Yunman's eyes looking there, Meiliang pulled up her sleeves embarrassedly. "Xiao Er was infected with fleas, so he had no choice but to shave his hair off."
