Chapter 195 Warmth in the Cold Winter

Because her youngest daughter knew that Rosa was very sensitive to the cold in winter, when she returned home for the first time to celebrate the Lunar New Year after starting university, she brought Rosa a thick pair of cotton-padded trousers. The others received a pair of plush insoles, and even her most filial daughter, Yiyao, only received a pair of plush insoles.

She smiled and told Rosa that the cotton pants she sold her were the most expensive gifts she had given to her family. The eldest daughter, standing to the side, noticed that her youngest daughter had brought gifts for everyone but not for her.

So she smiled and joked with her younger daughter, "You brought gifts for everyone but not for me. Don't forget that I paid for part of your college education! It's really disheartening that you didn't bring me a gift!"

Upon hearing what her older sister said, the younger daughter immediately rummaged through her suitcase and pulled out another pair of plush insoles for her.

Here's a pair of plush insoles as a gift for you! This shows how much the younger daughter adores Rosa. Even the gift she prepared for her was unique; the little one knows that these seemingly ordinary cotton pants contain her older sister's deep love for her.

She also considered these cotton-padded pants as her new pants for the Chinese New Year that year, and wanted them to match her new clothes. So, when buying new clothes for the New Year, the little one bought a cotton-padded coat.

The most interesting thing was when the little girl went to her hometown to celebrate the New Year in her new clothes, she pointed to the cotton pants she was wearing and said something to her aunt.

My older sister bought these cotton-padded pants for me! I even bought a cotton-padded coat to match them. It's because this little one always remembers the kindness shown to her that we spoil her so much!

She knew how much effort Yiyao had put into raising her! And how many disdainful looks she had received from her aunt because of it. So when the little one had something delicious, she would immediately think of Yiyao.

So whenever the family slaughters a chicken, the little one would go to the market by herself to call Yiyao over for lunch. Even the first time she bought some delicious sandwiches at the market, she would rush to the market to let Yiyao try them!

Although the little girl's action was quite ordinary, it brought Yiyao a rare moment of warmth. A few months after Yiyao passed away, the little girl cried and told us that in her memory, her grandmother was, for some reason, very afraid of this aunt.

So afraid was that when she wanted to give Rosa something to eat, she had to wait until her aunt wasn't home before she could secretly give Rosa the treats. And after Rosa finished eating the good food, her grandmother would throw all the wrapping paper into the stove and burn it all.

Or, whenever Rousa was about to go home with Jianmei, he would shake the rice jar and give her a bag of delicious food that he had hidden there. He would let her take it home and eat it! His purpose was to prevent Jianlin's second wife from finding out. Whenever Rousa thought of this, she would silently shed tears.

Because she felt that this was her grandmother's own home! Having to be so careful even when eating something in her own home! It was really distressing. She had thought before that if her family ever got a new house, she would definitely bring her grandmother to live in the new house.

She wanted to live happily with her family and never have to suffer from her aunt's temper again! But little did she know that this was a dream she could never realize.

Because when Rousa and her brother-in-law moved into their new house, Jianmei had already been gone for six years! Even her own daughter had been gone for so many years. How could a mother possibly move into her husband's newly bought house?

But what made Rosa very happy was that the night before she moved into her new house, the three of us aunts and Yiyao all stayed overnight in her new house. This is also a custom in Jiangle, where the elders of the female head of the household are invited to stay overnight in the new house the night before moving in. And on that night, all the lights in the new house were on!

Rousa never understood why her grandmother was so afraid of her aunt. It wasn't until Jianmei severed ties with her aunt that she understood why Yiyao was so terrified!

Yi Yao was once touched by something the little one said when she was being affectionate and cute. Back then, the little one was a very clever and mischievous little sprite. Just because her little shoes fell off the floor, perhaps because Jianmei was holding her at the time.

She actually spoke up to Yiyao, who was standing next to her, and said, "Yiyao, could you pick up your sister's shoes that she dropped on the floor?" When Yiyao heard Rousa say this to her, she was very excited and said to Rousa that no one had ever said such a thing to her before.

At the time, Rousa was only two years old, a time when she was very bright. She could memorize a short ancient poem after being taught it only two or three times. Seeing how good Rousa's memory was, Jianmei wanted to teach Rousa more ancient poems, but her brother-in-law stopped her, saying that Rousa was still too young and shouldn't be burdened.

There are many more examples of Rosa's playful and adorable side! Once, in the spring, wild strawberries grew in the fields and mountains. Her brother-in-law casually picked some wild strawberries from the flat ground in front of their house for Rosa to eat.

Seeing the little one enjoying the wild strawberries, Jianmei, who was sitting to the side, joked with her, "These wild strawberries are so delicious, why don't you share one with Mommy?"

When Rousa, who was originally very generous, heard Jianmei say this to her, she immediately shook her head.

No! These are wild strawberries that my dad specially picked for me! I'm not giving them to you! If you really want to eat wild strawberries, you can ask your husband to pick some for you.

Rousa's words made Jianmei and her brother-in-law burst into laughter. Perhaps it was because Rousa often did things that made people laugh that everyone was willing to spoil her?

These fun things all happened before she was three years old. Ever since she had that high fever when she was three, she has never been as clever and quick-witted as she was in her childhood.

Hey! This reminds me of the saying, "Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are destined for them, but it will first test their will and subject them to hardship." Rosa suffered greatly in her childhood! May she accomplish great things when she comes of age.

This has always been Rosa's dream since she was young!
