However, thinking about the temperature here in winter, Chen Shuning asked with some worry, "By the way, Sister Shumei, I heard that the winters here are particularly cold. I'm not in good health and I'm very afraid of the cold. I also live alone, so I'd like to buy some coal to keep for burning in the winter. I don't know if it's easy to buy it?"
Through the original owner's memories, Chen Shuning knew that her family also burned coal in winter, but that was only because her parents' workplaces had good benefits and they had enough coal coupons. For ordinary people, coal was still quite difficult to buy.
She had already made up her mind. If she really couldn't buy coal through normal channels, she would risk going to the black market to buy coal. She didn't want to freeze herself.
Liu Shumei has been here for six or seven years. There is plenty of firewood in the mountains here, and no family would spend money to buy coal to burn.
So he thought for a moment and replied, "I really don't know. Usually, we go up the mountain together after autumn to collect mountain products and firewood. A dozen of us work for about twenty days. When the weather is good in winter, we go into the mountains again to collect some more. If we are careful with firewood, it should be enough for the whole winter."
So I've never bought coal before. But if you want to buy some, I can ask Meili later. Her family buys coal every winter, so she should know where to buy it.
Chen Shuning is really afraid of the cold, so her biggest concern is heating in winter.
Her space contained almost everything, except for coal. After all, in her original era, due to environmental issues, no one burned coal anymore. Now, hearing Liu Shumei say that some families in the village were still burning coal made her very happy, which at least meant that the coal was still available. Anyway, she had plenty of supplies, and even if she suffered a loss, she could always exchange them for money and coupons.
After chatting for a while, the two heard someone in the yard calling for dinner. So they went out of the house together, hoping to eat early and rest a little longer, since they had to go to work in the afternoon. Everyone wanted to make the most of their time to rest.
