This was the first time Little Bowen had seen his two cousins. Since Ma Xiulan was about the same age as him, as soon as they arrived, he followed behind Ma Xiulan.
Mu Yangling let the three children stay in the kitchen while she went into the house to find her old clothes and boots.
Mu Yangling grew up quickly and had to replace her clothes almost every year. Other than the most difficult years where she had to recycle her clothes, Mu Shi and Shu Wanniang were unwilling to let the two children suffer. Shu Wanniang made two sets of new cotton clothes for the kids every year and kept most of their old clothes.
Ma Xiuhong and Ma Xiulan were much smaller than Mu Yangling, so they could wear her clothes from a few years ago, as well as her old boots.
Mu Yangling found three to four sets of clothes for them and said, "Go take a shower and change into them first. I'll make some hot food for you."
