The rain fell intermittently for three days before the sun finally came out.
But the temperature suddenly dropped, and even the wind became biting.
Yunling put on her thin cotton-padded jacket and then she felt warm again.
"What will you wear in winter?" Cai Shaoyun asked curiously in the office.
Yunling: "This cotton-padded coat I'm wearing isn't thick at all. You can feel it if you don't believe me."
Aunt Cai touched it and found it was indeed a bit thin. She said, "You brought it from home, didn't you? You can't wear something this thin in the winter here, or you'll freeze to death."
"Make a new cotton-padded coat," Yunling said, "otherwise it won't be able to withstand the weight."
We can't stay by the stove all day; we have to go out eventually.
Cai Shaoyun nodded and said softly, "If you're short of cotton coupons, you can ask me for some. I've saved up two jin, but I don't need them for now."
Yunling did not refuse her kindness, saying, "I'll ask you for it when I need it."
“Okay.” Cai Shaoyun readily agreed, then, as if remembering something, started gossiping with Yunling, saying, “Did you know! Hanxiu and the Hu family are arguing again.”
"Why?" Yunling leaned closer to listen to the gossip.
Cai Shaoyun chuckled twice and said, "What else could it be? The young couple hasn't been married long, and Grandma Hu is already urging them to have a baby."
"Ah...this! My own granddaughter." Yunling was somewhat puzzled. "Is there a need to be in such a hurry?"
Her parents in the city haven't pressured her to have children yet; they just tell her not to mistreat herself.
She scratched her head. They got married in October, so it hasn't even been a month yet.
Even if you are pregnant, it won't be detected.
Cai Shaoyun snorted coldly and said, "They're even thinking of having Hanxiu give birth to a big, fat son, who will then bear the surname Hu, so that the Hu family line won't end."
Yunling is someone who lives for the moment and is content as long as she can take care of herself.
As for descendants, that depends on fate.
She asked with great curiosity, "Is incense really that important? Aren't feudal superstitions being abolished now, and ancestor worship is no longer allowed?"
Of course, they wouldn't go openly or in a big way; they would all go secretly in private.
Cai Shaoyun was momentarily confused.
After a long silence, she shook her head and said, "...I don't know."
“Then it’s not that important,” Yunling said definitively.
This isn't the feudal era, where there's a throne to inherit.
Cai Shaoyun chuckled and said, "You can't say that outside, or countless people will curse you."
Customs that people have always respected.
They cannot be easily defeated.
“I’m not stupid,” Yunling said.
She was always on her guard, knowing exactly what to say and what to do.
Cai Shaoyun pointed at Yunling and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Walls have ears. Your neighbors aren't easy to mess with. They like to exploit people's weaknesses and extort money from them."
That refers to Zhao Wen.
Yunling nodded obediently and said, "Thank you, Aunt Cai."
Cai Shaoyun smiled, took out a handful of dried sweet potatoes from his pocket, gave Yunling a few slices, and said, "Chew on them, at least they'll have some flavor in your mouth."
Yunling also reached into her pocket and found some milk candy and red dates.
I put it in my pocket this morning.
She took out a milk candy and a few red dates and shared them with Aunt Cai.
Their relationship progressed further.
“Zizizizi…”
The team's loudspeaker is blaring again; we can hear the news reports again.
Yunling sat down, picked up her notebook, and jotted down a couple of notes.
I had just picked up my pen when I heard Chen Ergou's voice.
A stammering apology.
I realized I shouldn't have gone to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables when it was about to rain.
Most people don't believe it.
Wild vegetables are available at the foot of the mountain, so why bother going up?
