AND BACK TO OUR REGULAR PROGRAMMING:

Both partners said that six dimes would be enough, and the remaining eight dimes would be given to Zhou Dong. After all, if it were not for him, they would not be able to partake.

Earning six dimes in one go was a lot. It should be known that adults' one day worth was only about four dimes. This was the average and very few earn six or seven dimes.

They, teens get at most two dimes.

Now the winter wheat has already planted, they were about to enter the day of loafing. At this time, many hardworking people chose to find firewood to sell in the county city.

This way can somehow financially support their family expense, without having to sit down and empty out their nest?

Especially when they were teens, and have the largest appetite.

After being busy for the whole day, they can't make much money. But today, they made six dimes, which is really a lot!

Then they asked if they were needed tomorrow?

Zhou Dong had checked. His Shenzi said yes. It was the same phrase, she'll take as much as possible.

Zhou Dong replied to his two partners. Hearing the answer, both's eyes lit up and agreed on to start at the same time tomorrow. Tomorrow, they will gather more back!

Each of their families was delighted when they heard about the money their son made today. They simultaneously settled on not say anything outside.

What if Lin Qing He becomes dissatisfied when it gets out?

Looking at the whole village, there was no one who can be generous like her. Even if they just got their share of food, winter isolation was soon. Once the winter was over, there would a period of temporary shortage. Now was the slack season, they would earn a little if they can, after all, there were not many days like this.

A huge amount of firewoods was delivered every day. The firewood shed Zhou Qing Bai built for his family don't any space left. Lin Qing He asked Zhou Dong to put them in an empty place in the backyard and then covered them with bundles of straw. There was a heavy dew now and also needed to defend against rain. Covering was a must.

Speaking of rain, when Zhou Dong returned with the fifth cart of firewood, autumn rain began.

Everyone in the village said that this rain came at a perfect time because the wheat was planted and naturally, the rain was needed to moisturize it.

After the autumn rain came, the day became completely cold.

Lin Qing He estimated that it might only be seven or eight degrees, so she bundled up big Da Wa, Er Wa and San Wa without hesitation.

Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law's finished cotton-padded clothes, shoes, and socks. She equipped them all on them.

She has already woven Da Wa's sweater, so she puts on Da Wa first. Da Wa especially satisfied with this new set, and going out to boast was a must.

The autumn rain stopped after five continuous days. Lin Qing He let him be. As for the firewood at home, these days Zhou Dong brought a maximum of 13 or 14 bundles of firewood when they had a lot that day, and 11 or 12 bundles when they had little. The teen boys were full of energy and that's because it was a rare opportunity. So they spared no effort to make use of the time to make money.

After so many days in a row, enough firewood was accumulated at home.

Even if she heated the kang and wasting wood for cooking at home, there was no worry about not having enough.

Because even if she was a big wood burner, a bundle of firewood can be used for two days. There was also a half a bag of unused coal. The accumulated firewood was enough.

There were food and firewood in the house. This winter was definitely going to be comfortable.

Lin Qing He let Da Wa go out to play on the first day the autumn rain stop, but the next day they were required to stay back and watch the house. She told them that if the food at home was stolen, then they would have nothing to eat. At that time, don't blame her for not cooking.

Da Wa and Er Wa naturally expressed their willingness to stay at home.

Da Wa was six years old after the new year. And these days having been subtly influenced by Lin Qing He, he cared about family a lot more and no longer didn't care about anything.

Now he knew that he need to protect food.

So as soon as they heard that their mother was going to the supply and demand cooperative to see if there was any meat to buy, the two of them immediately said they would stay behind.

Because they haven't eaten meat for a good few days, and the eggs were almost finished!

Needless to say, Lin Qing He wouldn't use meat every day. Even if there was meat distribution before the autumn rain, it couldn't be justified as she didn't go buy any.

So she planned to go around today. Of course, she called Mother Zhou over to her house.

However, she had locked her own room door and asked Mother Zhou to watch the kids at home.

Mother Zhou heard that she was going to buy meat and did not stop her. She thought she had no money, so she didn't expect her to buy meat. Why didn't she go over to buy when the team divided the meat?

Mother Zhou didn't know that it was Lin Qing He spurning the meat from the team as they were leftovers, what's more, the community's remain. Only the original owner, who didn't have Mei Jie, would want it. She wouldn't.

Leaving Mother Zhou looking after her three sons at home, Lin Qing He came over to the supply and demand cooperative to find Mei Jie.

It just happened that Mei Jie was working today. She has also inquired about Lin Qing He, the identity she said wasn't false. But she also heard that Lin Qing He was infamous for her love to spend money and was a family ruining, gluttonous woman.

However, this has nothing to do with Mei Jie. She won't interfere so much. It was enough as long as her identity was true and the military food coupons that were usable all over the country she given last time was from proper channel.

As for others, it was take what she needed.

Lin Qing He was naturally happy to see Chen Mei.

"Qing He Mei, what are you going to buy today? Yesterday, a new batch of shrimp skins and red dates arrived. Would you like to buy some back for nourishment?" Mei Jie greeted.

"Of course, I want." Lin Qing He said.

"Ah Mei, is this your relative?" The salesperson next to her asked Mei Jie.

"Yes, my sister," Mei Jie said with a smile.

Lin Qing He heard the salesperson tell her: "Got subsidiary food coupon? If not, it might be more expensive."

Under normal circumstances, without a subsidiary food coupon, one can't buy anything. But if the salesperson was willing, one can buy a half a jin, because there was an internal share. This part didn't a coupon, but that required acquaintance.

Toward this kind of calcium supplement, Lin Qing He naturally wanted it. Although there was some at home, she wouldn't disdain haven't too much. Throwing some in when cooking soup and congee, make it fresh and nourishing.

So Lin Qing He got the red dates and the shrimp skin. After paying, she came out with Mei Jie to talk outside.

"Mei Jie, can I trouble you to set aside some meat for me tomorrow." Lin Qing He said.

"What kind? How much?" Sister Mei whispered.

"Give me one jin of lean meat. Also, grab some ribs and big bones for me." Lin Qing He stuffed two yuans and a one-jin food coupon over as she spoke.

"No fatty meat?" Mei Jie accepted without a trace and blurted.

It was acknowledged that fatty meat was the best meat at this time.

"Will it be difficult?" Lin Qinghe hesitated slightly.

This indicated that she wants, but didn't want to make it difficult for her.

Sister Mei grinned and said, "I can get you half a jin."

"Then many thanks Jie." Lin Qing He responded immediately.

"No need. It's because of you that my kids at home can eat more." Mei Jie said.

This time Lin Qing He gave her a universal coupon. It was good to use. It can be exchanged for whatever she needed, with additional of two yuan.

Lin Qing He politely made small talks and then mentioned matter about Third Sister-in-law's breastfeeding after she gave birth.
