"No, no need. You eat yourselves. We have food."

"Don't mention it. We're all friends. And you've made us such nice blankets."

"It's what we should do," Wang Sansan said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Okay. Why don't you sit down and warm yourself by the fire? Chat a bit and have some roasted corn."

"Okay." Although Wang San San was a little embarrassed, he didn't rush to leave.

He sat there, holding a stick in his hand, stuck an ear of corn on it, and roasted it over an open fire.

"Has anything major happened on the mountain while we've been gone these past few days?" Feng Ran asked, sitting next to him roasting corn.

"No. It's a very quiet mountain area."

"That's good. So what has your family been up to lately?"

"I chop firewood every day. Occasionally I'll go down the mountain to check on things."

"What about down the mountain? Is it peaceful lately?"

“The day before yesterday, I went down the mountain to the residential area. There was a disturbance there. Quite a few people died.”

"Why? Everything was fine when we went there before."

"Don't even mention it. I've heard that people are getting less and less food these days. They only get one meal a night after working all day, and it's always watery."

I got sick, but they wouldn't treat me there.

I heard quite a few people died.

"...What happened next?"

"Some people gathered a group of people to make a fuss, and the leader died. But a new leader came down from above and said that instead of eating one meal a day at night, they would add another meal at noon."

They also said that things are difficult now, but once the weather warms up and the medicinal herbs become available, they will begin making medicine. They asked everyone to wait a little longer.

"This person is quite good at talking."

"Um."

When Wang San San left, Feng Ran gave him some sea fish, as well as some shrimp and crabs, totaling about ten pounds.

...

"Bang!" A large stack of documents was slammed to the ground with a loud crash, making a loud noise throughout the office.

"South Korea wins! Look what you've done!"
