As winter approaches, the weather is getting colder, but today is a good day. The sun is shining on people and it feels warm.

Shen Zhizhu bought a recliner. She lay on it, covered with a blanket she had woven herself. Beside her were a teapot and a teacup. She took a sip of the tea and felt so happy.

In her yard, several people were sitting around her, each with a beautiful blanket covering their legs.

Aunt Li was knitting a sweater and feeling the warmth on her legs, she couldn't help but praise herself.

"Xiaozhu has more ideas. My own quilt is too big and inconvenient to hold. I want to sit and talk, but I feel cold when the wind blows. With this little blanket, I feel much happier."

Mrs. Wang was also among them. She felt that this little girl Shen Zhizhu was much more interesting than the people in the village.

"We usually do those common patterns, and we are tired of them. This colorful and pink one is more in line with the aesthetic taste of young people like us."

Mrs. Wang is knitting a scarf for herself. She also wants to embroider a few small flowers or some beautiful and interesting patterns on the scarf.

There is another one, who is a good friend of Wang Saozi from the next village, but he is shy and doesn't like to talk.

This was my first time here and I was not familiar with the place, so I just listened and didn't say anything.

Shen Zhizhu also had a ball of wool in her hand, which she was also knitting a scarf with. She put a piece of green bamboo at the end of the scarf.

"I just made these up when I was bored. They are not as good as you say. This is the first time since the beginning of winter that we have such good weather. I took out all the bedding at home and dried it. I slept comfortably at night."

Shen Zhizhu can now lie in bed until noon every day, and Xu Haonan will bring breakfast and lunch to the room.

Mrs. Wang heard about this.

"Xiaozhu, Haonan really ate with you on the bed."

"Yes."

Shen Zhizhu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The weather was cold, so what was wrong with everyone eating in a warm place?

She thought about it, then added.

"I asked my husband to buy a small table in the city that can be placed on the bed. Then he found something to cover the table with a thick quilt to keep the heat from the kang. I put my legs and feet inside the quilt. We ate at the table, so it didn't count as being in bed."

This was a scene I accidentally caught sight of in my previous life when my employees were watching anime during their lunch break. I thought it must be very comfortable to lie in a warm bed in the winter.

In this life, when she couldn't get out of the quilt, and even though she was staying in it, the temperature in the quilt would easily dissipate after a certain period of time, she thought of that scene.

So she tried to draw something and asked Xu Haonan to make one according to the drawing.

For bedding, she used two quilts joined together, which just covered the entire bed and did not waste the heat from the kang.

After she woke up, she put on her clothes, moved the homemade table upstairs, and sat down to read a book and eat.

It would be even better if I could watch TV.

Aunt Li thought about the scene she saw when she went to the inner room to call Shen Zhizhu this morning. It was exactly the homemade table she mentioned.

It looks a bit exaggerated, but it should feel warm.

"I don't know where your brain comes from. It's full of ideas. Young people's brains are just better than ours."

Mrs. Wang nodded and she thought so too.

"But we don't have any extra quilts at home, so why not try making one?"

Shen Zhizhu thought about it and gave his own suggestions.

"I think this thing is not necessary. You are more diligent than me. You get up so early every day and don't stay in bed all the time. Once it is made, it may be put aside most of the time. There are quite a few people in your family. It is okay to use it only when you sit together and chat. If you want to eat, you need a big table. It is not only laborious to move it back and forth, but it also takes up space wherever you put it."

"Or if you really want to get together and chat, you can just build a fire and roast some peanuts together. Children are more active and can run around. When they get tired, they can sit by and rest. That would be great."

Shen Zhizhu also had an idea and asked Xu Haonan to make this. Although it worked, its disadvantages became apparent after a day.

She really didn't know where to put the table. There was a quilt on it, and she couldn't just throw it on the floor. If the quilt was pulled to the floor, it would be so dirty.

Therefore, Shen Zhizhu specially cleaned up a place to put it separately.

Another thing is that once you sit at the table, you tend to feel lazy and don’t want to do anything. You just want to lie there and do nothing.

"After hearing what you said, my excitement has subsided a lot. People like my aunt are used to doing something every day. If I really sit at the table and do nothing, I'd feel uncomfortable."

The older generation is all like this, and Shen Zhizhu expressed his understanding.

Aunt Li took another look at the place where firewood was stored in Shen Zhizhu's house.

"Do you have enough firewood at home? Your uncle Li and I checked the firewood at home. We still have more than enough for the end of winter. If it's not enough, tell Auntie and ask Haonan to come over and get some, or I can ask Erdan to bring it over."

Mrs. Wang also spoke up after her.

"Yes, I listened to your aunt. Your sister-in-law's family also has quite a lot. Although Du Zaide is a bad person, he at least made a decision that was good for everyone before he went in. Last time, he brought back a truckload of firewood with a tractor. Everyone shared it out, and each family got a lot."

Shen Zhizhu went there with everyone else that time, and they were all shocked when they saw the tractor full of firewood.

I almost wondered if everyone had plucked all the trees on the mountain bald.

But later I heard them talking and they only picked up those on the ground. Some of them were already dead or broken, so they didn't touch them yet.

It can be said that the mountains are wealth, but they know that they cannot take it all at once, so they have never gone up the mountain again.

After all, what they brought out last time was enough.

Shen Zhizhu doesn't do anything at home. Everything is taken care of by Xu Haonan and she doesn't have to worry about it. So she actually doesn't know how much firewood is left at home.

"This... Usually it's Haonan who cooks and chops wood, so I haven't been there to see him. But I think it should be enough. He didn't tell me about this."

Although Xu Haonan didn't let her do the housework, saying that those heavy jobs were what he, as a grown man, should do, he would discuss it with her if there was anything.

Hearing her say this, Aunt Li felt much more relieved.

"If someone else answered like that, I would definitely give some advice. Husband and wife should support each other and not just one person should be responsible for the family. But if it's you and Haonan, I, your aunt, won't say a word."
