The grandmother and grandson were bickering and teasing each other, which Chen Shuning, who was watching the commotion, found very entertaining, until Tiedan ran over and grabbed her hand to lead her outside.
Chen Shuning then remembered that she hadn't locked her woodshed, so she quickly grabbed Tiedao and said, "Tiedan, wait for your aunt for a moment."
As he spoke, Chen Shuning took out a pre-prepared lock from his pocket and locked the door to the woodshed.
When building the house, Chen Shuning had a better idea. He figured it was just a one-time thing anyway, and since it was all made of mud bricks, he simply let Shen Dahe build it like a normal house. When he had the carpenter make the door, he even added a door latch. Now, looking at the wooden door that could be locked with just one lock, Chen Shuning really felt that he had been very prescient.
When Chen Shuning took out the lock, Shen Baogen nodded in satisfaction. This girl was not only diligent, but also shrewd and easy to take care of.
So when Chen Shuning locked the door, neither the grandfather nor the grandson said a word. Only after Chen Shuning locked the door did the three of them walk into the village, chatting and laughing.
Yang Wanqiu, who had been hiding by the door eavesdropping on the sounds outside, waited until there was no more sound from outside before hurriedly opening the door and coming out.
She was wearing a thick blue cotton-padded coat with coarse cloth, black cotton-padded trousers, and her head was wrapped tightly with a blue and white checkered headscarf, looking exactly like she was already preparing for winter.
This also shows how cold it was in the room where the stove wasn't lit.
This is also the point that Chen Shuning can't understand the most. What is this person thinking? There is plenty of firewood on the back mountain. One trip is enough to burn for a whole day. If you are diligent, you can collect firewood at least twice after work. If you are quick, you can collect it three or four times.
If you keep collecting firewood like this, you'll gradually accumulate enough for winter.
Besides, isn't this how the older educated youth always did it? Among the new educated youth, only Gu Xinyi didn't go because she had a boyfriend.
Even a pampered young lady like Tian Mi would go with Gao Hongyuan to the back mountain to pick up trash every day.
But Yang Wanqiu just wouldn't budge, and her injured leg a few days ago gave her even more reason to stay.
I just don't know what she'll do when it gets cold.
