Chapter 15 Quilt

After saying that, he really didn't care about the bag of rice anymore and walked straight home.

Gu Yun was stunned by his action and it took her a long time to react.

"Hey!" She wanted to call him, but she didn't expect that the man had long legs and walked into the house in a short while.

Then there was a "bang" sound, and the door was locked.

Gu Yun stomped her feet and walked towards the hut, shouting to the people inside through the door: "Teacher You?"

"Maybe someone who doesn't want to reveal his name gave it to you? Since they have sent it to you, you should accept it and don't waste other people's kindness."

After waiting for a while, the people in the house did not respond, so Gu Yun continued.

"Teacher You, you're really wasting food by throwing a bag of rice outside. If someone passes by later, it might be taken away." The people in the house seemed to have made up their minds not to pay attention to her anymore, and there was no movement.

Gu Yun had no choice. If someone really passed by and saw it, it would be troublesome. She had to move the bag of rice back to the door of the hut and put it there.

After covering the sackcloth bag again, Gu Yun continued to walk home along the road. She thought, this person is really stubborn. He just said he didn't want it. Then I'll leave it at your house and see what you can do to me.

Thinking of this, Gu Yun's steps on the way home became a little lighter.

It was winter now, and the weather was very cold. The soil on the ground was frozen. The farm work in the production team has basically stopped. No one has to go to work and stays at home to enjoy the winter.

Once you enter the house, it is warm and the cold wind outside is blocked out.

Seeing that Gu Yun was shivering from the cold, Liu Hehua poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her to warm her hands, "Here, warm it up."

When she saw Gu Yun coming back alone, she asked, "Girl, why are you back alone? Where's Xiaoling? Don't you usually go to school together?"

Gu Yun took the hot water to warm her hands and was moved. She thought that a mother's child was like a treasure. She replied, "She was left behind by her classmates to help write big-character posters. It will probably take a while for her to come back."

After holding the cup in her hand for a while, she felt warmer and her stiff fingers slowly regained consciousness. Gu Yun somehow thought of Teacher You again. She wondered if he was cold at home alone and whether he also had a cup of hot water to warm his hands.

She pretended to ask Liu Hehua casually, "Mom, when I passed by Teacher You on my way home just now, I saw that the house he lived in was very shabby and full of holes. Can it keep out the cold?"

Liu Hehua sighed again when she mentioned You Ming. "Who said it wasn't? The cowshed used to be a place for raising cows in the village. It can barely block the wind, so how can people live there? I don't know how he has been living these years."

It seems that he must have experienced something when he was sent down to the countryside, so he has given up on himself and is just getting by. Gu Yun thought.

"The last time I saw his quilt, it was full of holes, and it couldn't keep him warm. We don't have any extra quilts at home, so there's nothing we can do to help him." Liu Hehua said with regret.

Quilt... Gu Yun had an idea, yes, why didn't she think of it. In such cold weather, he couldn't throw away the quilt she gave him.

There weren't any extra quilts at home, but she had money, so she could buy one. If she didn't have enough money, she could go and exchange some food with Cao Kaijin.
