Watching her figure disappear, Shiyue thought for a moment and said, "Go wash up first, and come over when you're ready. I have something to tell you."
It just so happened that Chu Xia also had many things she wanted to discuss with Shi Yue, so she readily nodded.
Yu Chuxia was quick and finished washing up in no time.
In just a short while, Shiyue had put on her coat, packed her basket, and was ready to go out.
Seeing Yu Chuxia come in, Shiyue didn't waste any words and said directly to her, "You'll be staying at my house from now on, so we need to talk about some things beforehand."
She pointed to the stove: "You can use the stove and pot at home anytime without telling me in advance. But we'll have to share the firewood and water, one for each day."
If I go chop wood, you have to fetch water; similarly, if I go fetch water, you have to chop wood. Neither of us can slack off, or neither of us will have anything to use.”
Yu Chuxia glanced at the bucket and carrying pole in the corner, then at the large water vat, and nervously swallowed, completely forgetting what she had planned to say.
But she didn't try to bargain; instead, she nodded very seriously.
Seeing her clearly having never done any work, Shiyue couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart.
Left with no other option, I could only add, "If you can't do it yourself, you can ask your buddies to help."
Although men aren't allowed in the house after dark, it's no problem for me to fetch water or deliver firewood during the day.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chuxia's eyes lit up, and a smile returned to her face.
Shiyue was speechless.
She picked up the bamboo basket, put the machete and the rope for binding firewood inside, and then said to Yu Chuxia, "I'm going to chop firewood. Wait for me to come back and I'll take you to fetch water."
After saying that, he left home.
Shiyue said she was going to chop firewood, but actually she had an even more important purpose today: to visit her parents' graves and talk to them.
They also offered them the best food stored in the room to eat first.
Shiyue wanted her mother to eat that white rice as soon as possible, and didn't want to wait even a day longer.
Knowing that her parents would be happy to know how well she was doing, Shiyue's steps became much lighter.
He Wenxuan was woken up quite early by the noise of Li Yousheng feeding the livestock.
The room was cold and smelly, and the blankets were still ice-cold after he had slept all night. He didn't want to sleep anymore, so he simply got out of bed.
He covered Jiang Dong, who was still snoring, with the blanket, then quickly washed himself with water that had been prepared in advance and went out.
The winter wind was biting in the countryside, but the air was very fresh.
He Wenxuan strolled towards the small hill at the edge of the village.
He didn't know how long he had walked, but suddenly he sensed some movement in the bushes not far away, and then he smelled a strong aroma of meat!
He Wenxuan stopped in disbelief and took a deep breath.
The smell instantly filled his entire nasal cavity.
Even though the biting cold wind had frozen his nose so much that it was almost numb, He Wenxuan could still easily tell that it smelled like braised pork!
He instinctively walked towards the source of the smell...
