So you and Lai Di can go later. Besides, we just sent a lot of things home last time, this time it's just some pine nuts, they're not that heavy, I can carry them by myself.
Also, if they really do sell charcoal this time, the few of us women won't be able to carry it all back. So tomorrow you should go see Grandpa Yang and see if you can hire his car to go to town.
These oxcarts depart at fixed times, and since I left early, I won't take one. You two will have to arrange the hiring of the cart.
"By the time you get to town, I'll have almost finished taking care of things on my end. It gets light late today, and around 9:00 AM is when that place is busiest. How about we meet at the supply and marketing cooperative at 8:30 AM?"
Chen Shuning planned to go find Hei Zi first, otherwise they might not be able to buy the charcoal they wanted.
The person who always dealt with Hei Zi was Aunt Ning, so it was naturally inconvenient for Chen Shuning, who couldn't even use her own face, to bring the two of them along.
When Chen Shuning told them that they needed to hire a cart to haul charcoal, Wang Chunni didn't understand how Chen Shuning could be so sure that they would be able to buy charcoal this time.
He patted his chest and assured her, "Oh, so that's how it is. Okay, then you go first tomorrow. I'll try to go find Grandpa Yang as early as possible tomorrow. If I can catch up with you, then you can walk a few steps. Otherwise, traveling in this weather is quite a hardship."
"Shuning, I'll head back now. Lai Di's stewing meat at home, and I need to go back and help her keep the fire going. I'll have to go back to you now, see you tomorrow."
Wang Chunni has been in the countryside for almost two months. Apart from the few days she ate meat while staying with Shuning during the autumn harvest, she hasn't seen meat at all.
So the two of them decided to stew all the meat distributed in the village today to satisfy their cravings. At this moment, Wang Chunni, a foodie, had half her mind on the meat at home and didn't notice how unreasonable it was that Chen Shuning insisted on leaving first.
Yang Wanqiu, who had just returned with the meat, overheard their conversation and became interested.
Although she suspected Chen Shuning's motives for insisting that she go to town, Yang Wanqiu decided to mind her own business, based on her previous experiences of suffering losses when dealing with Chen Shuning.
She was quite interested in the charcoal that Chen Shuning and the others mentioned.
Now that she has completely broken ties with Shen Wenge, Yang Wanqiu is starting to panic, knowing that it will be difficult for her to return to the city anytime soon.
As the days grow colder, everyone else's woodsheds are already piled high with firewood.
Even Tian Mi and Zhang Tingting, with the help of Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi, cut down a lot of wooden obstacles.
Gu Xinyi even spent money to buy a lot of firewood from the villagers, and now she has more firewood in her woodshed than the old educated youth had.
Now, only her woodshed is empty, with only a little bit of firewood. Because of this, she regrets moving out. If she were still living in the old house in the front yard, she wouldn't have to worry about firewood in winter!
Now that she's already moved out, she's too ashamed to move back, so she'll probably have to spend money to buy some firewood and charcoal.
