The Village Chief took out three small clothes and handed them to Ni Yang, "Yangyang, these were prepared by all of us for the children, they’re ’Hundred Family Clothes’ personally sewn by Aunt Wang from the village."
’Hundred Family Clothes’ is an ancient child-rearing tradition.
It’s made by gathering small pieces of fabric from neighbors and friends, sewn into one garment for the child to wear. This clothes embody blessings from a hundred families, warding off illnesses and calamities, helping the child grow up healthy.
Although ’Hundred Family Clothes’ are not invaluable, the sentiment of the villagers is priceless.
Its profound meaning is already very good.
If the maker of the ’Hundred Family Clothes’ is an elderly person with high seniority, the significance is even better.
Aunt Wang is the oldest elder in the village.
This year, she is already 99 years old.
By rank, Ni Yang should call Aunt Wang, Grandma Wang.
Most importantly, she is in good health, not deaf or visually impaired. She spent more than five months hand-sewing these three clothes.
Holding the ’Hundred Family Clothes’, Ni Yang felt extremely touched.
She is very grateful to everyone.
During the most challenging time of her life, Jinghua Village embraced her and her daughter.
To her, Jinghua Village is her hometown!
The villagers of Jinghua Village are her family.
Ni Yang is very grateful to everyone.
Similarly, everyone is also very grateful to Ni Yang.
If it wasn’t for Ni Yang seven years ago, they wouldn’t be where they are today.
In mere seven years, the changes Ni Yang brought to Jinghua Village are numerous.
Seven years ago, they couldn’t even fill their bellies.
They lived in thatched huts and walked on mud roads.
Now, every household has built small villas, asphalt roads are wider than those in the city, and there are street lights illuminating the way at night...
Some households have even bought small cars.
Ni Yang led them to prosperity.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu, and thanks to everyone! Especially Grandma Wang! It’s hard for her to do this kind of handiwork at such an old age!"
The Village Chief replied, a little embarrassed, "There’s nothing to thank for! We are all family! Besides, Grandma Wang was quite happy, she felt pleased to do something for the three children!"
Ni Yang continued, "Oh, Uncle Liu, don’t forget what I mentioned to you last time. If everyone has a bit of spare money, don’t rush to buy cars, it’s better to buy houses in the city, buy as many as possible!"
Cars are consumables.
