Age: My Small World

Chapter 106: Intimate Cotton-padded Jacket
And buying cotton clothes is not that easy.

It’s too expensive to buy it directly, and it’s very troublesome or even impossible to find cheap fabric.

Therefore, some people will not buy cotton-padded clothes even if they can afford them.

Cheng Xiaoyu is very conflicted now. It would be warmer if she could get her mother a set of cotton clothes so that she wouldn't get sick easily.

If you love the people, don't worry too much, just stay at home in the winter.

As for herself, Xiaoyuer never thought about it.

But she was extremely reluctant to take Yang Jun's things.

The shoes from last time could be considered a token of trust and could be repaid later, but the cotton-padded jacket now was not a good option. Not only was it valuable, but Yang Jun’s family also needed it, so she couldn’t take it away.

Perhaps knowing that the little girl was worried about this issue, Yang Jun simply opened the bag in front of her.

"I bought a few extra pieces, this one is extra."

However, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't believe his nonsense at all. She glared at him with her two crescent eyes: "Is that really a lot?"

"Yeah." Yang Jun scratched his head. Why did he feel that the little girl's attitude suddenly became a little wrong?

Cheng Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Humph, do you really think I'm stupid? It's just too much."

Then she hummed, "The ramie will be harvested in a few days, and I'll give you the money then."

The reason why she had the confidence to accept it was naturally because the family had an income, half of which was the result of her labor, so it was only right for her to buy a cotton-padded jacket for her mother.

When they returned home, Li Xiaohua naturally felt distressed when she saw the cotton-padded clothes that Yang Jun brought.

"Baby, how did you buy the clothes?"

The material felt not bad, but not great either. I breathed a sigh of relief, but then I started to wonder where Yang Jun got the money.

Yang Jun had already explained this.

"Mom, I don't just have one article. The newspaper owner asked me to write a full-length story and send it in. That way, I can get more money. So, the fee is not just the two hundred yuan."

With the foundation laid by the previous newspaper, Li Xiaohua quickly believed his words.

She didn't have much of an opinion about Yang Jun hiding some money, but she said worriedly, "Son, be careful when you use money. I heard from your seventh uncle that things haven't been peaceful lately. Why don't we go home first and go back to school later?"

My worries are indeed normal. After all, the number of students in each class in the school has begun to decrease sharply, and it is considered good if we can get ten people together.

According to information told to him by his deskmate Wang Kui, even something happened in the home of the class monitor Ma Xin. It was said that a group of people broke into the house and took away a lot of things.

If he hadn't been in class and his parents were still at work at that time, the matter might have been even more serious.

So Ma Xin didn't come to class either.

As for the students in the village, they all stayed at home. Only Yu Li was bolder and came here every day regardless of rain or shine, showing a strong desire to learn.

But she also went back and forth with her third grandfather. If she left later every day, she could be seen helping the old man with work in Sanli Lane.

According to Yang Jun's prediction, schools will have to suspend classes in about a month.

This is still the best case scenario. If several students in the city also go home and don't come, then the time will have to be brought forward.

In small places, young people don’t really take going to school seriously. In addition, the university admission rate is too poor, resulting in a high high school dropout rate every year.

Eighty students this year is a pretty good situation. Last year, there were only thirty high school students enrolled, including Yang Jun and his seniors in the second year of high school. This summer, there were only ten people left. They were not even seen during morning exercises, and their presence was extremely low.

As for this year's senior year, it is said that there is only one person left and he has not been seen for years.

So during the school period, the only ones who looked decent were this year's freshmen.

But judging by the current situation, it's probably over.

"Mom, let's wait and see what happens in a few days. Besides, I'm a grown man and I'm not afraid of anything."

"That's right, Mom. My brother is different now." The second sister came over, smiled and pinched his arm, saying, "Before, Xiaoshan just looked taller and had no flesh on his body. People said he was a stick. Now he looks much more normal."

Li Xiaohua was also quite relieved when she saw this and said, "My baby has grown stronger."

Yang Jun looked at the two people's dark faces and quickly changed the subject:

"By the way, these two cotton-padded jackets are for mom and second sister. I can just drop by for eldest sister when the time comes."

He took out four cotton coats in total; any more would have been too conspicuous.

Who would have thought that Li Xiaohua's mouth moved but she didn't say anything.

Instead, he turned and went into the inner room.

Yang Jun pursed his lips at his second sister and asked softly, "What's wrong with mother?"

Yang Yumei said angrily, "Don't you usually see mother making clothes? She made them for you. I don't have any."

"Mother just finished sewing it today, and you brought back new clothes."

Yang Yumei's words made Yang Jun understand that he had interrupted the surprise prepared by his mother.

Sure enough, when Li Xiaohua came out of the inner room, she took out a piece of clothing, which was the cotton-padded clothes she had mended during this period.

Although the material was defective, it was repaired quite well with my mother's superb craftsmanship and even changed into a shape that resembled a down jacket.

The stitches are densely packed, and you can tell it took a long time and effort to make.

"Baby, I made you some clothes too. You can change into two pieces."

Li Xiaohua didn't think much about it. Instead, she happily held the clothes to him for reference, fearing that they wouldn't fit him.

Yang Jun took it and put it on to try it out in no time.

You know what, I have a really good eye, the clothes fit me perfectly.

The outer layer, which should have been bloated, did not look like anything on Yang Jun, but instead made him look more delicate.

"Mom, it's so warm." Yang Jun said with a smile.

"Then I'll wear this one. As for this one, keep it for now."

He put aside the cotton-padded jacket he had prepared for himself, thinking that the one his mother had sewn was quite comfortable to wear.

"Okay, let's put it aside for now." Li Xiaohua then picked up the other two cotton coats and looked at them.

The second sister changed into her new clothes and the warm feeling made her smile immediately.

Especially since she hadn't worn new clothes for a long time, Yang Yumei suddenly fell in love with the clothes she was wearing and was reluctant to take them off.

"Mom, I want to sleep in my cotton clothes tonight."

Li Xiaohua was furious watching this scene.

"You girl, you act like I've wronged you."

I feel that I have not done anything wrong to any of my children, and there is nothing wrong in always leaving the good things in the family for my son.

"Hehe, Mom, I just like the clothes Xiaoshan gave me." The second sister was not angry. Instead, she spoke to me closely, like a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

This is probably a trick that all children know, but parents really fall for it.

The next moment, Li Xiaohua pretended to be annoyed and said, "Okay, okay, go ahead and ruin this dress."

Both of them were actually cheerful.

Yang Jun felt quite warm when he saw this scene.
