I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 110 Because I Miss Home

After collecting feathers, washing and drying them, and removing the feather shafts, Bai Jingzhou would look for the most compact and full-bodied linen cloth with the smallest gaps between the threads available on the market, and ask his mother to help make clothes out of it. A lot of time and money was spent during this period.

But his gift really touched Gu Wenxuan's heart.

She couldn't let go of the down jacket and pants, "Isn't he only eleven years old?"

Bai Jingzhou nodded, "He is eleven years old, but he is very brave, and he is smarter and sweeter than ordinary children. Every time my uncle delivers pressed oil to guests in the county or town, he will go along to collect it."

After a pause, he continued, "You also know that he has suffered a lot since he got lost. Although my uncle's family treats him very well now, he still has a serious lack of security. He wants to find a way to make money, and I just need someone to help collect these down feathers."

Gu Wenxuan sighed, "No wonder he refused to live in your house after learning a set of boxing techniques."

Bai Jingzhou smiled, "When my uncle's oil press has no business anymore, he will come to live in my house permanently."

Ning Qirui is a man who can endure hardships. Now he keeps running back and forth to make money without any bother. When winter comes and there are fewer people pressing oil, he will definitely focus his main energy on practicing martial arts and studying.

Gu Wenxuan also laughed, and she asked Bai Jingzhou, "So how much of this kind of fluff did he collect for you?"

Bai Jingzhou replied, "In addition to a set of clothes for you and me, we should be able to make seven or eight quilts."

He told Gu Wenxuan, "I plan to collect more and make more down quilts. I also plan to buy some sheepskin and rabbit skin to make some fur coats, fur hats and gloves."

He and Gu Wenxuan are not short of money now. Even if there is no cotton, he wants to try his best to let them and their families spend a relatively warm winter.

"Buy leather. That's easy." Gu Wenxuan put her down jacket away carefully. "When my parents go to Jia Village to give festival gifts, I will go to my grandfather and ask him to buy it for us."

The villages to the west and southwest of Baijia Village, including Jiajia Village where Gu Wenxuan's grandmother lives, all have families who make a living by raising sheep.

Although they sell whole sheep most of the time and only kill a few sheep at home during the New Year and sell the mutton to those who want to improve their meals during the New Year and other festivals, over time, they are sure to have no shortage of sheepskins at home.

Let her grandfather help ask every household and collect the money. I think we can get a lot of sheepskins.

She said to Bai Jingzhou: "Don't worry about this. When the sheepskin is bought, I will send half to your house."

Although purchasing chicken, duck and goose feathers is cheaper than buying sheepskin directly, it definitely takes a lot of time. Rather than saving a few dollars, Gu Wenxuan would rather spend more money and less effort.

In fact, Bai Jingzhou was the same. He would rather spend more money and less effort. The reason why he went to so much trouble to get down clothes was, on the one hand, because down clothes were lighter than sheepskin coats, and it would be more convenient for him and Gu Wenxuan to wear them when going out in winter; on the other hand, if a sheepskin coat was used as a quilt, it would definitely not be as comfortable as a down quilt.

Based on how cold the winter in this world is that he learned from the original owner's memory, Bai Jingzhou prefers to cover himself with a down quilt first and then put a sheepskin coat on top. In his opinion, these two things combined with a kang are the basic configuration to prevent everyone from catching cold.

After putting away her clothes, Gu Wenxuan left the village with Bai Jingzhou and headed for the small valley, under the pretext of delivering a holiday gift to her master.

When they reached a deserted place, Bai Jingzhou asked Gu Wenxuan, "Do you miss home?"

Gu Wenxuan was stunned, "Why are you asking me this question again?"

Bai Jingzhou's voice was a little muffled, "Because I miss home."

The closer it got to Mid-Autumn Festival, the more he couldn't control his longing for his former family.

His mother grew up in an orphanage, and he only has relatives on his father's side, but they are not friendly to him.

Although his parents loved him, they were always on missions, so they rarely spent time with him. In the end, he completely lost them.

It can be said that more than 90% of his fond memories of home are related to Gu Wenxuan's family. His feelings for that family are much deeper than Gu Wenxuan, a rebellious guy who is 20 kilograms more than his body weight.

There was a hint of crying in his voice that he couldn't control perfectly, which made Gu Wenxuan feel uncomfortable.

She touched Bai Jingzhou's head and said, "Then it seems I don't have to feel guilty."

Bai Jingzhou didn't understand and looked at her in confusion with his beautiful black and bright eyes.

Gu Wenxuan thought, even though he has changed his appearance, how come his eyes are still so bright and clear? They are too clean and clear, just like a little deer, making people want to be nicer to him.

She suppressed the urge to reach out and touch the other's thick eyelashes. "You have suffered a lot that should have been borne by me. There are endless medical books to read, endless traditional culture to learn, and family responsibilities that should have been borne by me. You took care of the elders for me, raised money for my grandfather's treatment, and took care of my naughty brother for me."

Perhaps she wanted to practice the trumpet because her big trumpet was useless. When she was fifteen, her mother, who was thirty-eight years old, gave birth to a younger brother for her. When Bai Jingzhou came to their house, the child was just an eight-year-old brat who was hated by everyone.

She couldn't take care of the little thing for more than three minutes before she felt like beating it, but Bai Jingzhou had been taking care of it for many years, and he managed it very well and did a great job.

This alone was enough for Gu Wenxuan to be extremely grateful to Bai Jingzhou.

"I don't think this is suffering." Bai Jingzhou looked into the distance, "I feel very happy, very, very happy."

Even his hopeless love for Gu Wenxuan, which he could not express but could not give up, did not make him feel that he was suffering.

Although he had experienced a lot of heartache and bitterness caused by unrequited love, he had never forgotten the heartbeat when he fell in love with Gu Wenxuan at first sight, and the sense of security and sweetness when Gu Wenxuan protected him under her wings.

Bai Jingzhou couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster every time he recalled her heroic and handsome appearance, her powerful strength of both wisdom and courage, and her contradictory but alluring iron-blooded tenderness.

He will never forget Gu Wenxuan's bravery and cunning against the enemy, nor will he forget Gu Wenxuan's strength and reliability when she protected him and helped him fight for his parents' inheritance. He will never forget what Gu Wenxuan said to him when he was homeless, patting him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter if they don't want you. I want you and I'll send you to my home."
