Chapter 259: Fighting the Pimple

Buying coal requires money and coal coupons, and in winter everyone has to rack their brains to get honeycomb coal.

People say that cities are good, but in fact they have their downsides too.

When it gets cold in the countryside and people can’t afford coal, they can burn corn and rice. People go to the mountains to chop firewood and pick up dry branches diligently. Even the corn roots growing on the ground have to be dug out before they freeze, commonly known as digging out corn lumps.

We picked the corn lumps and brought them home, knocking off the soil at the roots, which were also good for making firewood. The school in the brigade relied on corn lumps for making firewood during the winter. If there was no corn lumps as high as a hill in the corner of any class, we would feel uneasy during classes in the winter.

There are no mountains or land in the city, so you can’t buy honeycomb coal. Or if there are too many people in your family and not enough coal to go around, you can only go to the countryside and get it at a high price.

Even though Mr. Su Jiu is rich, he still has to overcome the hurdle of burning coal.

Shen Xingjiang hugged her waist: “It’s a convenient thing.”

Jiang Wanwan rubbed her head against Shen Xingjiang's head: "Hey, how come you are so good? You are amazing."

"I often ask Jiu Ye to help me. He won't even give me some money. He even buys things for me out of his own pocket. If you send him coal, he will be so happy that he won't refuse."

"Just do it. Load it onto the truck. I'll send him a telegram and ask him to pick it up at the appointed time."

Shen Xingjiang: “Yeah.”

If he doesn't coax the old man into staying with him when he goes to Beijing in the future, he might want to separate him and Wanwan.

He was good to Wan Wan, so Shen Xingjiang could only find other ways to live in harmony with him.

Jiang Wanwan hugged Shen Xingjiang and fell asleep quickly.

After a night, light frost appeared on the glass windows. The sun hadn't come out yet, but Shen Xingjiang was already dressed and heating up the fireplace in the kitchen.

After burning the fire wall, he returned to the house before going out and took out the letter from Mr. Su Jiu to Jiang Wanwan from the drawer.

Seeing that he still had to wait to change his fate, his eyes revealed a sinister coldness.

After reading it, Shen Xingjiang put the letter back into the drawer as it was, and put Jiang Wanwan's clothes into the quilt where he slept to warm them up.

After thinking about it, he boiled a pot of hot water outside to make sure that Jiang Wanwan would not have to wash her face with cold water when she woke up and could wear warm clothes before he felt at ease to go out.

Cheng Du lived in the residence that Cheng Shi had locked out.

After that night, although Cheng Shiguan went to see a doctor, his foundation was still injured. Recently, he has been unable to lift his head from that area. No matter how hard Zhang Yuanyuan tried to treat him, using her hands or mouth, it was of no use.

Cheng Shiguan looked even colder than usual, as cold as a knife.

Everyone in the system is smooth and slick, but he has a stern face every day, as if someone owes him millions, which makes everyone unwilling to talk to him.

Jiang Lian and the others had not yet completed their education, and Cheng Shiguan couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.

After breakfast, he went out with his briefcase, leaving Cheng Du alone at home.

The weather was cold, so Cheng Du got up and smoked a cigarette first.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Cheng Du impatiently went to open it.

"Who is it?"

Outside the door, Shen Xingjiang’s voice was faint: “It’s me.”

Recognizing Shen Xingjiang, Cheng Du quickly opened the door. He looked down on everyone and was very reserved in front of Shen Xingjiang: "Son, why are you here? Are you cold? Come in, I'll pour you some hot water."

Cheng Du felt distressed when he noticed that Shen Xingjiang had a cold aura.

Damn weather, even his son was frozen.

Fortunately, Cheng Shiguan was not there. Even though such a big thing happened to him, Cheng Du didn't show any concern. Shen Xingjiang was fine, but he was in so much pain.

Shen Xingjiang bought some tea and white wine, spending more than ten yuan.

It is considered a good thing locally, but in Cheng Du's eyes...if anyone dares to ask him to do something with these rubbish, he will never help him in his life.

The things were brought by Shen Xingjiang, and their meanings are very different.

Cheng Du put the water on the coffee table, looked at the cigarettes and alcohol on the table, and his mouth blossomed with joy, like a late chrysanthemum blooming in the wind, with its branches shaking.

"My son is really filial. Cigarettes and alcohol are quite expensive."

Shen Xingjiang sat on the sofa and hummed lightly: "Wan Wan paid for me to buy it."

After going through so many things, Cheng Du has realized that his son was born here and has never had a good meal, so he protects Jiang Wanwan like a treasure.

This matter cannot be forced. Jiang Wanwan has bad intentions and can separate the father and son with just a little wind.

Don't worry, there is a long time to come. First, recognize Xingjiang, give him money, and take him to experience the taste of different women, then he will not think about Jiang Wanwan.

He originally wanted to introduce Dong Shanying to him, but the dead girl suddenly found him a few days ago and told him that she had found true love and that she must find the man who saved her and marry him.

Out of respect for the Dong family, Cheng Du did not point fingers at her and scold her for not knowing her worth. He just sent her away, but he was angry for several days.

Of course, that bit of anger disappeared when he saw Shen Xingjiang.

Cheng Du complimented him against his will: "She is thoughtful."

Chen Xingjiang brought the things over. Cheng Du was already filled with guilt without saying anything. He clenched his hands and then released them: "It was my fault for not taking you back the first time. Gao Shulan and I have had four or five fights during this period. I will definitely take you back."

Shen Xingjiang asked in a questioning tone: "What if you can't recognize it?"

"If she doesn't recognize me, I will divorce her!" He can change his wife, but he only has one son, and Cheng Du can't bear to give him up.

Shen Xingjiang got a reply, rejected Cheng Du's invitation to have dinner together, and returned to the army.

Jiang Wanwan woke up and divided the bacon and smoked bamboo shoots into two portions, preparing one to send to Director Xu and the other to send to Old Lady Shen.

She carried her things to the factory director's office first. It was almost the end of the year and Xu Fengyu was overwhelmed by a pile of information.

"Director, I'll bring you some bacon that my relatives sent me."

Jiang Wanwan would bring food to Xu Fengyu from time to time. Xu Fengyu knew that she brought good things: "You are the only one who is thoughtful. By the way, don't think that I won't miss the braised pork just because you bring me bacon. Have you done it?"

Jiang Wanwan smiled and said, "It's being cooked. It's already in the jar."

Xu Fengyu doesn't know how to do it, just know that she did it.

"Go get busy."

After leaving Xu Fengyu, Jiang Wanwan went to the farm.

The farms have completed the early winter harvest. The second and fourth farms have removed the green tents, leaving only bare fields. The people who have finished their farm work have nothing to do, so they pick the remaining beans and wheat ears in the fields.

Jiang Wanwan passed by the supply and marketing point, and Sister Yang opened the small window on the side and called her: "Xiao Jiang, come here."

Jiang Wanwan turned around and came over: "What's wrong, sister?"

Sister Yang took out a bag of dried sand apples: "I dried them in the sun, you can take them home and soak them in water and eat them."

Dried sand apples taste sour when soaked in water, and the flesh is very chewy when soaked, making it a perfect snack in winter.

Jiang Wanwan wanted to eat some, so she accepted the dried sand apples: "Thank you, Sister Yang."

Sister Yang is a hot-tempered person and hates people who are pretentious and pushy. Jiang Wanwan was straightforward and open, which made Sister Yang very proud.

If Jiang Wanwan hadn't married early, Sister Yang would have asked her younger brothers to work harder to marry Jiang Wanwan.

Sister Yang asked, "Have you heard about your second wife's affairs recently?"
