Now there was only one stove in the house. All the water boiling, cooking rice, and frying dishes were done there. If there was another coal stove, it will be much more convenient.

However, the coal stove was obviously not so easy to get

What's more, on top of the coal stove, she also needed coal ball coupons. Only the talented in the city have these, and none in the countryside.

If she wanted to get this, she had to go over and look around the county city.

Besides the stove, was some kind of earthen pot. However, she can take it slowly. She should be able to raise the living conditions after Zhou Qing Bai returns.

Realizing that's about it, she covered the basket with a cloth. As for what she bought, no one would know.

Now she can pull anything out of the space.

When she also arrived in the village, she took some pork out of the space. As for the fatty meat, she did not take it out, because it would be too eye-catching to take it out and decoct oil. Better wait until the village divided the meat.

There were others like ribs, meat, eggs, etc. In short, she had to make the basket look full. However, all got covered by a cloth, so it was unknown what she bought.

She went early in the morning. But the road was pretty long, so after going to and back, it was already past nine o'clock and nearly ten o'clock.

She didn't pick up her three sons first. Mother Zhou would certainly take good care of them. She filled up her egg jars with eggs and loaded the barrels with rice and flour again. Then she began to sort the meat.

Two large pieces of pork belly were salted. As for lean meat and the likes, she planned to make meat congee for three children.

They liked the meat congee she cooked a lot and was satisfied eating it. This made her content.

She chopped the ribs by herself. As for the big bones, she will send it to Mother Zhou later on as an expression of sincerity.

After finishing this chore at home, Lin Qing He looked at the time. It was still early and started to go to the vegetable garden in the backyard. After tending it for a while, she heard someone shouting.

She went to open the door and check. It was Zhou Dong, who carried two bundles of dry firewood.

"That fast! I thought you'll go in two days." Lin Qing He widened the door and let him bring it in, as she spoke.

"For peeling corn, let my sister and others do it. I'm not needed." Zhou Dong explained.

He was only needed when it was time to plant winter wheat, and that had not yet begun.

The two bundles of firewood were not small. Two bundles like these cost three dimes. Straight away, Lin Qing He took out three dimes from her pocket and settled the bill. And also said: "We're still short a lot at home."

They were short a lot because she used more firewood than the original owner. And at the end of October, Zhou Qing Bai should also come back and he had injuries. She dared not force him to go out get firewood like the original owner did, who wanted to vent her anger.

That's right, in the novel, the original owner did this. And it was because of this villains' father gained a long-term illness, which was an endless cycle of pain. When he reached his fifties, his body was even worse.

"Shenzi, rest assured, I can go to the mountains to pick up firewood before the snowfall. After the food distribution and my sister will be able to go with me. We will ship it back with a cart, that way we can transport more." Zhou Dong promised to her.
