"Okay, then I'll take it. I didn't expect you to have saved so much, more than 5 kilograms. You can make a quilt and a thick cotton coat for the little one. Your second brother-in-law and I have quilts, but we're afraid the little one will be cold."
"Can I buy so much cotton?"
"I heard from my sister-in-law that the supply and marketing cooperative will have a batch of cotton soon. I'll ask my sister-in-law to help me buy it when the time comes. I'll be able to buy it." If it doesn't work, it's not too late to buy it on the black market, but she didn't say this.
As the weather gets colder, everyone is busy preparing supplies for the winter at home, especially the most important firewood.
Cheng Fangyuan has been running up the mountain with his elder brother these days. Every time they chop enough firewood, they push the cart back. Watching the firewood in the corner gradually getting higher and higher, and when the amount is enough for the winter, they are about to stop going up the mountain and stay at home to chop firewood.
The two sisters of the Song family mentioned it again.
"Ayuan, it feels like winter is getting cold very quickly this year. How about preparing some more firewood this year? If you're too busy, I can go up the mountain with you. My little sister is watching over you at home!"
"It's okay, I'll just watch over him at home. Mumu is very well behaved. I'll carry the dried firewood back to the woodshed later." Song Tanglan suggested as he looked at the firewood drying on the side. He thought that he had carried firewood back to the woodshed a lot during this period. Although it took more effort, it was not very tiring.
She has been reminding her second sister a lot these days, telling her that the weather this year is particularly strange and she is worried that the winter will be prolonged. If there is not enough firewood, it will be difficult for them as adults to survive, not to mention that they have a baby at home.
Even her good friends reminded her many times that Song Tanglan would brainwash Su Tao whenever she had free time. Su Tao would always be confused when she heard it and would tell Sun Jianhua about it when she got home.
The next day, the three of them took Jiang Shubai to the mountain to chop firewood again. Song Tanglan reminded them of this from time to time every day.
Su Tao was made nervous by her good friend, and she chopped wood with extra enthusiasm every day. Only when she saw the firewood gradually piling up in the corner and the firewood room full of firewood did Su Tao feel a little satisfied.
Cheng Fangyuan looked at the two sisters and thought about the weather changes in recent times, so he nodded.
"Okay, I'll go get some more firewood with my brother later. The weather is really strange today, so it won't be a big deal to prepare some more. By the way, do you want to buy anything? I need to go to town tomorrow."
When Song Tangcheng heard this, she thought about the winter clothes she had prepared recently. She had prepared all the shoes, hats, and gloves for the little guy. These were all sewn for him with rabbit fur and were very warm and soft. Song Tanglan had washed them a few days ago and they were now hanging in the yard.
Clothes, pants. My sister-in-law helped me buy cotton some time ago, and she has been busy making them these past two days, so there is nothing in particular need of at home. So she shook her head.
"Just buy some salt and soy sauce. The soap at home is almost used up, so you can buy two. Is there anything you want to buy, little sister?"
"Little sister, do you want to buy anything? I don't have much to bring this time, so I can buy more for you." Cheng Fangyuan thought that he was just going there to do some business and didn't have to do anything else, so he reminded her. He was afraid that she wanted to buy something, so he didn't dare to speak.
Song Tanglan's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Brother-in-law, I have too many things to buy. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he took out a pen, paper and banknotes and started writing them down one by one. After everything was recorded, he took out all the banknotes, put them together and handed them to Cheng Fangyuan.
Most of the items written on the front of the paper are daily necessities, such as soap for washing clothes, bath soap, toothpaste, vanishing cream, etc. The rest are all various foods, including brown sugar, malted milk, egg cakes, etc.
But the last two things surprised Song Tangcheng and Cheng Fangyuan. They looked at Song Tanglan in surprise and asked.
"Don't we have enough food at home? Why do we need to use food coupons to buy food?"
"Yes, Lanlan, we haven't finished the snacks we bought last year. There will be more than 100 kilograms left after this year." Song Tangcheng's words were very reassuring. She was usually in charge of the food at home, so she knew exactly how much food was left at home.
