Chapter 974 She Will Repay the Favor
Because she felt the warmth, her fingers were no longer numb, but warm. She touched the quilt, which was also very dry, and filled with fluffy cotton, unlike her rotten quilt, which was so wet that you could almost wring out water.
There was also a smell of detergent on the quilt, not too fragrant, but there was no special smell. In short, it was clean.
That is, she lowered her head and looked at the clothes on her body. The clothes were too dirty. She was afraid of dirtying the bed, so she folded up the bedding and lay on the kang with her clothes on, without covering the quilt.
She thought she could really have a good sleep.
When Changsheng's mother came in, she found Yan Huan sleeping like this.
"Ah..." She sighed, "This child is also pitiful."
She put the things in her hand on the table, then walked over and pulled the quilt over Yan Huan. In fact, she looked carefully. This girl is very good-looking, but there is a scar on her face and one leg is like this. Otherwise, the people in the village may not treat her like this. I am afraid that they are thinking of finding a wife for their bachelor sons. Even so, the old bachelor Jin Gen who can't find a wife has also made up his mind.
Of course, Changsheng's mother didn't think so. Even if she wanted to, she had to get the girl's consent, and her son had to be willing. Although she has always lived in the village and has not had much experience, she still knows the four words "you are willing and I am willing".
And Yan Huan was sleeping too soundly, so she didn't know that Changsheng's mother had come in at all. When she woke up, it was already very late. She didn't know how late it was. There was no watch here, so she didn't have much concept of time. She just knew that it was dawn or dark.
"Child, are you awake?"
Changsheng's mother thought that Yan Huan should be awake, so she shouted outside that it was time to eat. If she didn't eat, it would be bad. She had been hungry for three days, so she had to have a good meal.
Yan Huan sat up and took a look at the clothes on the table. It was a colorful cotton jacket, but she knew it was old. It should have been worn by Changsheng's mother. Of course, she would not dislike it. She would only feel warm in her heart.
She got off the earthen kang. For the first time, she was not cold, uncomfortable, and did not want to cry.
She opened the door and smiled with red eyes.
"Aunt, just call me Xiaoyan."
"Is it the Yan in Yan's name?" Changsheng's mother asked with a smile.
"No, Yan Huan shook her head, it's the Yan in Yanyu."
"Oh, that Xiaoyan," Changsheng's mother knew, "Then, Xiaoyan, go wash up and have dinner. By the way, she took the cotton coat from the table. Although I have worn this one, it was a new coat from last year. You can wear it for now. The conditions in the village are not good, so these are the only ones we can take out. When the weather gets better, I will make you a new one."
"Thank you, aunt," Yan Huan held the coat, and her fingers could feel the softness of the coat and the warmth in her heart. Although it was an old coat, it was obvious that the coat was still very new, and even the cotton inside was soft. It might be that Changsheng's mother had been reluctant to part with it, and only kept it for the New Year.
Her hands were shaking slightly as she held the coat. She actually couldn't take it, but in the end she still gritted her teeth and took it back, because she really had no clothes to wear.
She remembered Changsheng's mother's kindness in her heart. When she returned home, she would definitely return Changsheng's mother a hundred, no, a thousand pieces of clothes.
Auntie boiled some hot water, you also wash, Changsheng's mother touched Yan Huan's tangled hair, sighed and said, you look at you, you are so pitiful, you don't even dare to cover the quilt.
Yan Huan smiled shyly, she looked back at the cleanly washed quilt, because she was too dirty.
Changsheng's family didn't have a so-called bathroom, there was only a big iron basin, everyone in the family used this big iron basin to take a bath, and they also used it during festivals, and most of the villagers boiled some water for themselves when taking a bath, and then found a basin to wash like this.
Yan Huan put her hands in the big basin, the hot water gently caressed her hands, soothing the chilblains on her hands and making them itch. She hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and a large piece of mud almost stuck to her skin. The water in the basin was almost black after she washed it. Even so, her hair couldn't be combed out, and it was still tangled.
She was so cruel that she took the scissors and cut off all her hair. She touched her short hair, but couldn't shed tears or cry.
Perhaps she had suffered too much, so she was too strong or too numb, she didn't know.
Dinner was homemade noodles, steamed buns, and a plate of pickled vegetables, which were also pickled by herself. Some oil was added to the pickled vegetables, which looked very appetizing. Changsheng's mother felt sorry for Yan Huan, so she fried an egg for her. However, Yan Huan did not eat it and gave it to Changsheng's mother. She knew that eggs were rare in the village, and some people even sold the eggs they saved. When she was filming Uncle Xiang Qinghua, she lived in the village. The conditions in that village were much better than those in Changchen Village, and eggs were not easily eaten. At least, that village had electricity, but Chen Village did not.
Yan Huan bit a piece of steamed bun and ate a piece of pickled vegetables, as if she was eating some delicious food. She ate very slowly, not wolfing down, and not occupying her own food. She only ate one. Although she felt that she could eat at least three, she only ate one in the end. She was thinking in her heart that the first thing she would do when she returned home was to build a road for Chenjia Village and then connect electricity.
Then she would build a three-story house for Changsheng's family, which would have all kinds of electrical appliances. This night was the most peaceful, stable and warmest night she had slept in such a long time. The quilt smelled of sunshine. The temperature of the kang was neither high nor low, but it was very comfortable to lie down. She didn't sleep for a while, but her whole body was aching. She knew very well that it was because she was frozen.
When Changsheng's mother got up early in the morning to clean the house, she was surprised to find that the floor at home had been swept, the water in the water tank was full, and even the kitchen was on fire, and Yan Huan was busy in the kitchen,
