Gu Zhonghua walked very fast with the child in his arms, followed closely by the people behind him. When they entered the house, Gu Weiqi came forward and asked, "Is everything arranged?"

"Yeah." Gu Zhonghua responded.

Tang Zimo looked at the cloth and saw that his aunt cut it in an irregular way. He said, "Aunt, let me help you cut it."

Considering the time issue, Gu Qianrou handed him the scissors and said, "Then you cut it. It's fine as long as the size is about the same as the one I cut." Then she got up and got the needle and thread. After seeing this, Tang Hua also wanted to help cut, but was stopped by the adults.

So, under the dim light, a tense and orderly busy process began. The two adults and two children each held a pair of scissors and cut the cloth; the eldest aunt sat in front of the sewing machine, skillfully operating the machine to sew the pieces of cloth together; the aunt and uncle held needles and threads in their hands, carefully mending every damaged place.

Time passed by minute by minute, and four hours later, the clock pointed to one in the morning. After unremitting efforts, the cotton-padded jackets, quilts, gloves, hats, scarves and cotton shoes were all sewn with patches of various sizes. Although these clothes looked very worn out, not to mention the people who came down to check, even they felt pity when they saw them.

After everything was ready, Gu Jianguo brought a cart of firewood, while Gu Zhonghua and Gu Weiqi picked up the finished clothes and came to the shed together. When the people inside saw that it was Mr. Gu, they roughly understood his identity and were about to speak, but were stopped by Gu Zhonghua.

He looked at everyone and said slowly: "We have put patches of various sizes on the outer clothes, and you will need to sew the inner clothes yourself. These clothes are enough for you to wear for the next few years. You can distribute them according to the number of people. Basically, everyone can get two sets. In addition, this package is specially prepared by my sister for the ladies in the shed."

After saying that, Gu Zhonghua handed the package to the person next to him. The people in the shed took the package and felt the weight of the love contained in it. The ladies in the shed were already in tears. Gu Zhonghua sighed and took his people back.

In the simple shed, everyone looked at the food: a full 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, and an equally heavy 100 kilograms of coarse grains! In addition, there were dozens of kilograms of fragrant bacon, a few tempting cured chickens and rabbits, and a large pile of clothes. Not to mention the ladies, even the men's eyes were red when they saw it.

Faced with so much food and clothing, everyone present was dumbfounded and at a loss for a moment.

The first few people to come to their senses, they acted quickly, moved the precious food into the shed and hid it properly, and the ladies distributed clothes and quilts to everyone. After all this was done, everyone sat together as if awakened from a dream, but no one spoke at this moment, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely solemn.

In silence, everyone's heart was filled with doubts and worries - why did they help them like this? Was there some hidden secret behind this? Or did the other party have other intentions? Countless questions lingered in their minds, but no one could give a definite answer.

The first to react were the older, more experienced elders. Their faces were full of traces of time and life wisdom. After a moment of silence, they slowly said, "Let's do this for now. After all, we can be said to have nothing at the moment. We are penniless, like a barren desert. We have nothing to lose except our lives. So, we have nothing to be afraid of. Since they are willing to help us, they must be out of kindness. Maybe they saw our predicament and felt pity for us; maybe they have their own purposes, but it doesn't matter. What's important is that they gave us a chance to live and a hope to stand up again. As for their purpose, we will ask them when there is a suitable opportunity in the future."

After hearing this, although everyone still had doubts in their hearts, they also felt that what the old man said made sense. They knew that the current situation was already very difficult, and if they refused help from others, they might fall into an even more desperate situation. Moreover, from the current point of view, the other party did not seem to show any malice. Perhaps, as the elder said, when the time is right, everything will come to light.

So, everyone nodded, expressing their agreement with the old man's opinion. Although they were still uneasy in their hearts, at least now they had a direction and a motivation to move forward. They were no longer afraid of freezing or starving to death in a foreign land at any time. At this critical moment, they chose to believe in those who were willing to lend a helping hand, especially the little girl, who was like a beam of light in the darkness that had been illuminating their hearts since they arrived here.

Sure enough, it started snowing early the next morning. The snow was not heavy, but when Tang Hua and his sister got up at noon, they saw a vast expanse of white. The brothers had adapted to the weather here in the past few days. At this moment, the three siblings were sitting at the gate, each holding a bag of melon seeds and eating them. Tang Hua was eating the seeds that his brother had peeled while saying, "Brother, I will take you to see your grandparents tonight, and to your uncle and aunt tomorrow night, and give them some clothes."

Tang Zimo and Tang Zijun nodded, looking at their sister with doting eyes. Such a small person, chubby, delicate and cute, but most importantly, she has a big heart, and is impartial to everyone who treats her well. Who wouldn't love her? Who wouldn't spoil her?

Gu Zhonghua was cooking lunch. He poked his head out of the kitchen and looked at the three little heads sitting together at the door, whispering to each other. He shook his head helplessly in his heart: "Don't these kids feel cold?"

He shouted to them, "Huabao, you guys go and ask your aunt and her family to come for dinner!" They had slept too late last night, and now was the time for hibernation, so they were probably just getting up at this time. He guessed this and cooked more.

Tang Hua responded after hearing this, then ran to the next room. Seeing that her aunt was preparing to cook, Tang Hua quickly said, "Aunt, my great grandfather told you to stop cooking and go over to their place to eat together." Liu Chunxing didn't say anything after hearing this. She put down the pot in her hand, walked out and said, "Then I'll go over and help cook now. Your uncle and aunt are in the backyard, go call them."

Tang Hua ran to the backyard again and called Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu to come out. Uncle Gu had gone to the brigade in the morning, so he was not at home. Gu Qianrou locked the door directly, thinking that if the old man came back and saw the door was locked, he would definitely know that he had gone to his eldest brother's place.

Gu Weiqi...was clearly disliked???

Sure enough, Gu Weiqi came over not long after he saw us. He said, "I saw the door was locked. I thought you must be here at this hour."

Tang Hua looked at her uncle's face, which looked aggrieved, and said with a smile, "Uncle, come on, wash your hands and get ready for dinner. I just saw my great grandfather get some wine, so you'll have a treat at noon."

Gu Weiqi's face changed instantly, and the corners of his mouth grinned so hard that he couldn't even suppress it... The Tang Zimo brothers turned their heads away silently, not looking at that silly smile...
