There is no sunshine all year round, it is dark and humid, the wall covering has long since fallen off, the wall is uneven, and you can still vaguely see a lot of traces filled with yellow mud.

Although the battered wooden windows were still standing firm, the window paper above them had long been mushy. In order to block the cold winter wind, they were tightly blocked with straw mats.

Although the cold wind was blocked in this way, the room seemed darker.

The straw mat is hung on the window. I don't know if small animals have made a home on it, or something else. It is covered with various unknown black spots.

In addition, on the wall on the side of the window, there are actually traces of black and blue water flowing through it. If you look up, you can see three or two black-yellow thatch hanging down, with hanging hangings on them. The broken and almost invisible spider web was trembling.

These straws were probably used to patch holes in the roof. Over time, some of them fell off.

There was an old copper stove in the center of the house, with sparks flickering in the stove and making a "pop" sound from time to time.

Surrounding both sides of the stove are two rows of long fire pits, covered with a thin layer of straw and filled with children sleeping on them.

At a glance, there were no less than twenty of them, and they all looked like children who were less than ten years old.

Because the weather is cold, the quilts are thin and small, and some of them are no longer warm because they have not seen the sun for a long time.

The children had no choice but to huddle up and hug each other, relying on their body heat to fall asleep half-awake.

Hearing the noise, two older children raised their heads and glanced at the door. One of the little girls saw that it was a stranger and subconsciously said "Ah!" and sat up.

Fortunately, she didn't speak loudly because she was afraid of disturbing her brothers and sisters' rest.

Grandma He walked in, saw the little girl looking over, and said cheerfully, "Da Ya is awake!" As she said that, she bent down, picked up a wooden stick, and poked the stove, which was still emitting sparks.

Soon, she picked out the red charcoal fire buried underneath, delivering weak heat to the drafty house.

"Wake up!" Daya nodded, glanced timidly at Luo Siyun, lifted the quilt on her body, and quickly put on the embroidered shoes that had faded after washing and had a hole in the big toe. He ran towards her and took the wooden stick in her hand, "Let Daya come!"

"Okay, good boy!" Seeing her like this, Nanny He handed her the wooden stick, touched her head, praised her casually, and turned to look at Luo Siyun.

He said, "Miss Luo, come in and sit down!"

Thinking of something, he said with an annoyed look, "Oh, my memory has made me forget to find a stool for you, which made the lady laugh!" With that, he turned around to find a stool.

"Where are the stools?" she muttered. Her eyes were already dim when she came, and it became even more difficult to see clearly in the dim room.

Fortunately, Da Ya heard it and said quickly, "Here's the stool!" As she said that, she took the short square stool beside the Kang and put it in her hand.

Touching the stool, a smile appeared on her face and she praised again, "Good boy!"

He put the stool next to the stove and looked at Luo Siyun, "Miss, please sit down. The conditions here are limited, so please cough..." I don't know if it was because the room was too stuffy or something, but he couldn't help but cough violently. .

Luo Siyun shook his head, "It's okay!" After saying that, he stopped Lu Mei from putting a handkerchief on the stool and sat down without caring.

Seeing that she was so invisible, Grandma He smiled, and the wrinkles on her face folded like words, making people couldn't help but laugh when they looked at her.

At this moment, Liu's mother walked in. Seeing the dilapidated and dim appearance of the room, she subconsciously frowned, but didn't say anything. She just walked to Luo Siyun and whispered, "Girl, the carriage has stopped. , Huaishan asked the servant to ask if you want to put those things down!"

Luo Siyun nodded, "Let Huaishan Mountain bring you down!"

After thinking for a while, he added, "Let's bring the clothes and bedding first. As for the rice and noodles... we'll talk about it later!"

"Yes!" Liu Ma nodded and walked out again.

Luo Siyun smiled and said, "Mommy, I brought a lot of things here today, and the guards are already moving them. Where do you think they should be placed?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the children who had woken up at some point and sat up silently, and continued, "There are many clothes and shoes that I want to give to the children. I don't know how to buy these upper body items." Didn’t buy a fit!”

Grandma He shook her head, "It's good for us people to have clothes to wear. As long as we can put them on, we don't have to choose anything that fits!"

She said, it would be best to make it a little bigger. If it is too big, you can just put it on and tie it tighter and you can wear it. If it is small and you can’t put it on, then there is nothing you can do!

But these are clothes given by others. She can only receive them, so naturally she can't say anything else!
"Okay, let's go out and take a look!" Hearing this, Luo Siyun nodded.

Then she looked at the children who were still huddled on the bed, watching her muttering in a low voice, "Do you want to wear new clothes? My sister bought you beautiful clothes and shoes... There was a whole car full of them. This is a gift for you, do you want to go out and see it together?"

Even though the four of them came to deliver things, they just came in a carriage, as if they couldn't bring anything.

In fact, the carriage they were riding in was specially designed by those who made money by renting carriages. The carriage was enlarged, and the cabinets inside and outside had hidden mysteries on the panels.

The amount of things that can be loaded is not much less than that of an ordinary carriage, but it is obvious how much stuff they brought here.

The children blinked and said nothing, silently looking at Aunt He aside.

Da Ya also looked up at her, her dirty little face and big black eyes flashing, full of expectation, obviously she wanted new clothes.

Seeing this, what could Nanny He say? She could only smile and said, "Let's all go, put on all the clothes you have, don't get too cold!"

"Oh yeah!"

"I have new clothes to wear!"

Hearing her nod in agreement, the children present cheered in disbelief, lifted up the quilt and quickly put on their shoes.

Someone boldly ran up to Luo Siyun and said loudly, "Thank you sister for the gift!"

"There are new clothes and new shoes to wear!"

"Thank you, beautiful sister!" This is what the bolder child said.

"Sister is so beautiful!" A thin little girl praised!

As soon as these words came out, the children present laughed, and some boldly said loudly, "Sister is not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted. Thank you, big sister!"

"Thank you beautiful sister!"

"thanks……"

Listening to the continuous thanksgivings, the smile on Luo Siyun's face never stopped.

I just feel that these children are too well-behaved and have such sweet mouths!

With a big wave of his hand, he said domineeringly, "Let's go, sister will take you to get your clothes!" After saying that, surrounded by the children, he walked outside.

Seeing that Grandma He agreed, Da Ya jumped up excitedly and wanted to run out.

Thinking of something, she turned around, ran to the fire bed on the side, and pulled up the little boy who was still lying in bed with no intention of observing.

She was so immersed in excitement that she didn't see his unhappy expression at all, and said, "Tongtong, get up, Sister You gave us something, let's go get some nice clothes?"

Tongtong raised his head, glanced at her, and then turned to look at the window.

When he saw the straw mat that blocked the window tightly, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head silently, "Sister Da Ya, you can go alone, I won't go!"

With that said, he lay down again.

Seeing this, Daya scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go?" "It's too cold outside, I don't want to go!" As he said that, Tongtong turned over silently.

Hearing what he said, she thought it was really too cold outside. Da Ya nodded and silently covered him with a quilt.

"Then just go to bed and sister will get the clothes for you!"

"Yeah!" A muffled response came from the bed.

It's a pity that Da Ya didn't hear it, she had already ran out happily!

……

yard.

"hiss--"

The horse shook its head, hissed, and stamped its feet, making the children surrounding it scream out in fright.

"Go back!"

Fearing that he would be stepped on, he quickly stepped back.

After taking a few steps back, feeling safe, the children started chirping excitedly again.

"It screams so horribly!" A little girl shook her body and said.

"It's not a bark, it's a horse's neigh!" A little boy said slowly, holding his hands behind his back and shaking his head.

This sophisticated posture seems to have been imitated by Grandma He.

"Ah, this horse is too tall, taller than me!" A little girl with a runny nose sighed.

"Taller than adults!" said another little boy, "We are still children, so naturally we are short!"

"I wish I were as tall as a big brother!" Looking at Huaishan, who was standing next to the carriage with a rare cold face, the skinny little girl not only was not afraid, but also said, "If I were so tall, I could help Mother He It’s a heavy load of grain!”

"We want it too!" the children said in unison.

Just when the children were sighing at the height of the horse and the strength of the man, Luo Siyun and Lu Mei came behind the carriage.

Huaishan, who was quick with his hands and feet, had already moved everything down and was waiting for Luo Siyun to deal with it.

The children naturally saw the things on the ground, but seeing that Huaishan did not move, they stood around politely and did not reach out to touch it.

Some of the younger ones were naive and wanted to touch them, but the older ones stopped them. Obviously, Grandma He taught these things very well.

Seeing the things on the ground, Luo Siyun didn't hesitate and asked Lu Mei and Liu Ma to help open the package.

When they opened the first package and saw a lot of stuff inside, the children couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow!"

When I opened the second one and saw the clothes again, the children still said "Wow!"

"Wow!"

Listen to the sound of frogs…

After spreading everything out and making sure that nothing was missing, Luo Siyun stopped delaying and started sending it directly.

It's too cold outside. Let the children go back inside as soon as possible.

Seeing their movements, knowing that it was done, the children spontaneously began to line up.

The first one standing was a little girl. Luo Siyun glanced at her and took out a set of clothes from several large packages spread out in front of him, and then took out a pile of shoes from another package. He handed her the blue embroidered shoes and said, "These are yours!"

Seeing the pile of things handed to her, the little girl's eyes widened in disbelief, "Are they all for me?"

Luo Siyun nodded and said with a smile, "A set of cotton-padded clothes, a jacket, and a pair of shoes, not many, they are all for you!" Don't look at it as a lot, but in fact it is really not much, just one set for each person. , not expensive either.

Moreover, Luo Siyun specially selected the cheapest cotton-padded clothes and bought so many of them that one set cost less than two hundred cents.

Although two hundred pennies seems to be a lot for ordinary people, but I don't know why Luo Siyun has never been short of money since he was a child, and he has never been short of money since he came here.

The little girl blinked her eyes, took the clothes with trembling hands with excitement on her face, hugged her tightly in her arms, and then bent down, "Thank you, sister!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Seeing this, Luo Siyun quickly pulled her up, "You don't have to do this!"

"Sister, I don't need you to bow. If you take the clothes and grow up well and healthily, my sister will be very happy!"

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded, "I will grow up well and repay my sister when the time comes!"

"Okay!" Luo Siyun didn't say no, he just stretched out his hand and touched the soft hair on her head, "After you take it, go to the side. Your friends will also want to take it!"

"Yes!" The little girl nodded heavily, then walked quickly to Grandma He holding her clothes.

"Mom He, look, new clothes!"

"It smells good!" When she said this, her eyes were bright.

She is six years old, and this is the first time she has received new clothes that truly belong to her since she can remember.

It turns out that the new clothes are so soft and smell so good!

There is no pricking feeling at all, no ugly patches, no dirt and no big or small holes...

After touching her head and arranging her soft yellow hair, Grandma He nodded, "I got new clothes, I'll wear them later!"

You can't take a bath in winter, it's too cold, there's a risk of getting cold when taking a bath, and they don't have that much firewood!

The most I can do is wipe myself with a handkerchief.

"Yes!" The little girl nodded and silently hugged the clothes in her arms tightly.

Just smelling the unique fragrance of the new clothes and feeling the soft touch in her arms, her eyes couldn't help but turn red... The fragrant, soft new clothes were hers!

After about a quarter of an hour, all the food was distributed to all the children. The rest, such as candles, rice and noodles, did not need to be divided. They could be handed over directly to Aunt He later.

Looking at the package that was mostly empty, Luo Siyun clapped his hands with satisfaction.

He turned to look at the children who were eagerly gesturing after getting their clothes, shoes and socks, and quickly reminded, "Go inside as soon as you get them. It's very cold outside!"

If it weren't for the fact that there was no room in the room and it was very dark, she wouldn't have thought of posting anything directly here.

"Okay!" the children said in unison, running towards the house in unison.
