Wu Zhen was also very angry when she heard that it was Li Dachun who proposed this.
She knew perfectly well that the people who came later would definitely have opinions about her.
This is indeed a case of not being able to underestimate anyone. This sudden move caught her off guard, and she is now prepared to counter it.
She and Lin Xiujuan both reserved the spot on the kang (heated brick bed) first, because the winters here were just too cold.
Living in the middle is simply not good; it will get cold very quickly. If it were a regular kang (heated brick bed), the middle would definitely be better, but with a kang this long, you would definitely choose the head of the kang.
The two of them were now going to collect firewood, since winter was coming soon and they had heard that the winters here were very cold.
The two went up the mountain to collect firewood. Since they couldn't carry it themselves, they had to drag it down the mountain. They went twice a day, which left them exhausted and dizzy.
Lin Xiujuan sighed as she dragged the firewood, "This is so tiring. Now I know why Liang Tiantian got married. We're just collecting wood like this every day, and we don't even know when we'll be able to use it."
"Are you stupid? Of course we should pick more. It's too cold in winter, and we need it for cooking."
"Let's cook separately from them. After all, there are more of them, and we don't know what they're like."
Lin Xiujuan believed what Wu Zhen said. She knew how clever Wu Zhen was; even Li Dachun had almost lost the argument back then.
It was almost time for snow to fall, and many more people came to the village, which Jianjun and his group went to pick up.
"Honey, you watch the kids study at home, then I'll go pick them up. There are quite a few people this time," Jianjun instructed.
"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and come back soon."
Don't worry about me.
Jianjun went to the local area to pick up people. There were seven people this time. Including those who came before autumn, there were 13 educated youths this year.
Jianjun looked at them and felt that they were all very energetic. After all, they were all young people who had aspirations for life.
After dropping the person off, Jianjun rushed home; his wife and children were waiting for him.
Wu Zhen and Lin Xiujuan greeted the girls first, and then went to cook.
Five girls and two boys came this time. There's plenty of room now.
One of the girls, Wang Yan, borrowed some firewood from Wu Zhen and the others to cook, as they were all starving after traveling for so long.
Wu Zhen looked at her and said, "You should hurry up and collect some wood to make a fire before it snows, because you won't be able to collect any once the mountain is closed."
"Okay, thanks for reminding us. We'll go tomorrow and return the things we borrowed to you then."
Wu Zhen nodded and didn't say anything.
You'll realize how tiring it is when you go up the mountain to carry wood down the next day.
Li Hairu was also sullen, feeling like her shoulders were about to be ripped apart by carrying the piece of wood on her back.
Her family was well-off before, but something happened in her family, so they sent her here.
Having grown up in comfortable circumstances, she had never suffered like this before, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He was also thinking that he could spend money like Wu Zhen and Lin Xiujuan to buy some wood.
"Wu Zhen, I'm not feeling well. I was wondering if you could sell me some of all that wood you've stockpiled?"
Wu Zhen looked at her face and was not very happy either. We're all here to work, who do you think you are?
She replied coldly, "No, we don't have enough firewood yet. You and the others came together, so they will definitely help you."
Li Hairu was thinking to herself, "If you don't want to, fine, why are you putting on such a long face?"
He turned to ask the other people, but they all shook their heads. They were exhausted from the trip up the mountain and no one wanted to go. They would have been willing to exchange food for it.
