"Niannian, can we go to town? I want to advance next month's wages to buy clothes for Er Zhuzi," Cuihua asked her, showing such a pitiful expression for the first time.
Gu Nian reached out and grabbed Er Zhuzi's clothes. Although they looked shabby on the outside, the clothes were quite substantial and felt soft to the touch.
However, the soft texture seemed somewhat different from the cotton clothes she was wearing.
Cuihua suddenly became enlightened and explained, "These clothes are filled with reed flowers. They may look thick, but they don't have the warmth of cotton."
She was afraid Gu Nian thought Er Zhuzi was pretending to be cold.
"Reed flowers?" Gu Nian recalled this from the original owner's memory.
Most poor families filled their cotton clothes with reed flowers. The original owner and her brother had worn clothes sewn with this material before because they were too poor and had no choice.
