Now they were the only family in the yard, and Yan Dashan couldn't help but tell them about this.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Are you serious? 1,000 jin?" Yan Bingfa, who was laying the roof, almost lost his balance when he heard this. He stood up and looked around, "Come on, this is a big deal. Let's talk about it inside."
"Dad, there's no one around here. Did you see anyone up there? Who comes here?"
"We have to be careful, just in case." Yan Bingfa climbed down the ladder. "If you hadn't told me about this big thing earlier, I would have arranged for people to go up the mountain by now."
The family went to the main hall together. Tian's heart was beating fast. If Chunxiao took over this order, how much money would they have to pay?
Zhou went to the front to close the courtyard door, then came back and sat with everyone.
"Chunxiao, what are you going to do about what Dashan and the others just said?"
"Dad, we're out of wood. We only have about 100 pounds of charcoal. Even if we chop wood tomorrow, it's too wet to be used."
After hearing what she said, everyone started to sigh.
Yan Bingfa felt particularly sorry, "Then this means that the order is definitely gone."
Chun Xiao saw that everyone was depressed. "Not necessarily. So I'm going to go to town tomorrow. If they can give me more time, maybe I can take the job."
After hearing her say this, everyone immediately became happy again, "Yes, as long as we give us time, we will definitely be able to deliver the goods to him."
"So there's no point in getting anxious right now. We have to wait and see what the outcome of tomorrow's talks will be. If he insists on handing it over within these two days, we'll have no choice but to give up. There's still time anyway, and we can slowly earn back the 1,000 kilograms." Chunxiao was afraid that they would be too disappointed if the deal failed, so she gave them a heads-up in advance.
"Whether this succeeds or not, we will go up the mountain to chop wood for you tomorrow. But you need to tell us in detail what kind of wood you want to chop."
Chunxiao then went to the utility room to get the only two remaining pieces of wood, and went to the kitchen to get a firewood stake. She explained to them in detail the difference between the two and the difference in the charcoal they made. Everyone felt that they had learned a lot, as no one had paid attention to these things before.
"Dad, isn't there a funeral for Uncle Mu's family in the village tomorrow? How can you guys have time to go up the mountain? I was wondering if it would be my eldest or second brother who would accompany me to town tomorrow, so that we don't end up going to the wrong place and making a wasted trip."
"There were people there before, but now there are none. I can go to the funeral, it only takes half a day. You can go to town tomorrow and buy an axe. It's troublesome to work without tools."
"We only have one axe at home, and it's not good to keep borrowing from others. How about this: let's not divide the money we earned today. Tomorrow I'll buy two axes, and then each of us will have one. We don't have to borrow from others all the time. If we borrow for too long, people will probably feel dissatisfied even if they don't say it out loud."
Several people agreed.
After saying that, everyone returned to the yard and hurriedly put up the roof. This work had to be completed today, as they felt that there were still many things waiting for them.
