Time flies like an arrow, and after a long journey, the group finally arrived at Qingshan Brigade on a rickety tractor. As they got off the vehicle, several enthusiastic aunties and grandmothers held Jiang Suisui's hands tightly and refused to let go, as if she were their own child.

Having finally shaken off the enthusiastic entreaties and aunties who wanted her to stay, Jiang Suisui, carrying large and small bags, trudged towards the educated youth settlement. The journey was incredibly long; by the time she finally arrived, the sun was almost setting.

The educated youth settlement was unusually quiet at this moment; not a sound could be heard, not even a shadowy figure could be seen. Jiang Suisui was filled with doubt, muttering to herself, "Where have all these guys gone?" As she pondered this, she even went to the next room and knocked on the door, but still no one answered. Jiang Suisui couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless; she truly couldn't figure out where her companions had gone. Could it be that they had all gone up the mountain together?

Filled with suspicion, Jiang Suisui turned and went back to her room, beginning to sort and organize the various items she had bought. She carefully placed the flour in the cabinet and then moved the heavy stone mill to a corner, arranging it neatly. After finishing, Jiang Suisui gently closed the cabinet door, then locked the room door, preparing to head to Li Erzhu's house at the east end of the production brigade.

Along the way, Jiang Suisui asked everyone she met for directions to Li Erzhu's house. After some twists and turns, she finally found her destination. Standing at the door of Li Erzhu's house, Jiang Suisui gently knocked on the door and called out loudly, "Is anyone home? Is anyone inside?" However, only silence answered her…

"Who is it? Someone's home! The door's unlocked, come right in!" A clear and loud female voice came from inside the house. Jiang Suisui pushed open the slightly old but still sturdy wooden door without hesitation and stepped inside.

As soon as she entered, a tall, kind-faced middle-aged woman quickly came out to greet her. She looked Jiang Suisui up and down, a hint of curiosity and doubt in her eyes: "You are…"

Seeing this, Jiang Suisui quickly smiled and introduced herself, "Hello, Auntie. I'm a newly arrived educated youth named Jiang Suisui. I've been asking around and heard that your family has excellent firewood, so I came here specifically to buy some to prepare for the winter." After saying this, she lowered her head somewhat shyly.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman, addressed as "Auntie," beamed with joy and warmly greeted, "Oh my, it's Little Jiang, the educated youth! Come in, come in and sit down to rest." As she spoke, she deftly moved a small stool over and handed it to Jiang Suisui.

Immediately afterwards, she turned her head and shouted loudly into the inner room, "Er Ya, come out quickly! Pour a cup of sweet soup for Xiao Jiang, we have a distinguished guest!" A moment later, a little girl with two braids came out in response, holding a steaming cup of sweet soup, and carefully handed it to Jiang Suisui.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman pulled up a chair and sat down next to Jiang Suisui, introducing herself: "Little Jiang, my name is Tian Zhaodi, you can just call me Aunt Tian. If you need any help in the future, just ask me." She then laughed heartily.

Jiang Suisui quickly nodded and replied, "Okay, Aunt Tian!" Then she took the sugar water with both hands and took a sip, feeling a refreshing sweetness that instantly soothed her.

Aunt Tian watched with a smile as Jiang Suisui finished the bowl of sweet soup, a satisfied expression on her face, and nodded gently. She then asked with concern, "Little Jiang, how much firewood are you planning to buy? Do you want to stock up for the entire long winter, or are you thinking of buying a little more now and gathering more from the mountains later when you have free time?"

Hearing Aunt Tian's question, Jiang Suisui quickly stood up from the stool, bowed slightly, and replied, "Aunt Tian, ​​I want to buy enough firewood for the whole winter! The autumn harvest starts tomorrow, and I'll be so busy I won't have time to gather firewood. So I might as well buy enough for the whole winter at once, that way it'll be easier. Besides, I'm living in a single room at the educated youth settlement, and I'll have to heat my kang (heated brick bed) myself all winter. But I really don't have any experience with this, and I don't know exactly how much firewood I'll need. Aunt Tian, ​​you know so much more than I do, could you help me estimate how much I need? I'll follow your advice!"

Just as Jiang Suisui finished speaking, a pretty little girl, about ten years old, carefully carried an enormous bowl in her hands and toddled over. Behind her followed a chubby-faced little boy of about four years old. Before the little girl could get close, Aunt Tian, ​​standing nearby, swiftly snatched the large bowl from her hands, warmly inviting, "Little Jiang, come and try this sweet soup! Let's drink and chat!"

Seeing this, Jiang Suisui quickly thanked her, "Oh, thank you so much, Aunt Tian!" Then she sat back down on the stool.

Just as Jiang Suisui was about to pick up the bowl and take a small sip, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure out of the corner of her eye. The child blinked his big, dark eyes, staring intently at the large bowl in her hand, his gaze filled with endless longing. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a suspicious trickle of drool at the corner of the little one's mouth!

Jiang Suisui gazed at the sweet and tempting syrup in the large bowl before her. Although she longed to taste it, she couldn't bring herself to eat it. She gently placed the bowl on the table, then smiled and waved to the little boy, reaching into her pocket. A moment later, she pulled out several colorful candies. Then, she tenderly offered the syrup to the child, gesturing for him to share.

Just then, a woman rushed over, her face full of anxiety, and said, "Oh dear, little Jiang, this is absolutely not allowed! I poured this sugar water especially for you, how can you let Tie Dan drink it? And these candies, they are rare treats, how can you just let him eat them!" As she spoke, the woman quickly snatched the candies from Tie Dan's chubby little hand and handed them to Jiang Suisui.

Seeing this, Jiang Suisui quickly waved her hands and declined, saying, "Aunt Tian, ​​don't be so polite! These things are useless to me; I just wanted to give them to the children to try, so they can have a sweet and happy time." Before she could finish speaking, a deafening wailing sound suddenly reached Jiang Suisui's ears. Turning her head, she saw that it was Tiedan crying sadly because his candy had been taken away.

Jiang Suisui hurriedly ran to Tiedan's side, squatted down, and first stuffed the candy that had just been taken from Tiedan's little hand back into it. Then, she unwrapped one of the candies and carefully put the crystal-clear candy into Tiedan's mouth. Tiedan smacked his lips, instantly tasting the sweet flavor, and his previously tearful face immediately blossomed into a bright smile.
