The salesperson and her fiancé were relieved to hear that she was willing to change.

The two of them were indeed preparing for marriage and family separation.

"In the future, when the coal is used up, I will come to your wife. Make sure to get some good one." Lin Qing He said to the man.

"Don't let anyone else know about this." The man nodded and stated.

"This is for sure. My family still has three sons to raise. So I'm relying on your coal." Lin Qing He affirmed.

Both sides said goodbye to each other. The man rode back with a pot and a nylon polybag. Lin Qing He asked the salesperson to watch the good, then went to call Zhou Dong.

As soon as he saw that the coal stove and large half bag of coal, Zhou Dong was stunned again.

His Shenzi was capable! She can even get a coal stove and coal, which were used by city folks.

But this ... how much does it cost?

After the successful exchange, the salesperson went back. Lin Qing He ran the black market again and walked around. While she was at it, she took out another old-fashioned double-eared pot from the space, wrapped it in a nylon polybag, and placed it in the cart.

There were other things, such as the foot basin and the likes. She went to the department store again. She bought hats for each of her sons. The kind with long flaps that can cover and protect the ears from frostbite.

It took three industrial coupons.

However, there were still a few industrial coupons left. Zhou Qing Bai sent it back last time. So she looked at it and bought woolen yarn to knit sweaters for the children.

Initially, she wanted to buy shoes and socks, however, socks required cloth coupons, and canvas shoes required industrial coupons. The remaining cloth coupon and industrial coupons were used for two large duvet covers, hats, and woolen yarn. All gone now.

But with that bolt of cloth, socks and shoes can be made.

"Can little Xi make shoes and socks?"

She was mostly done, so Lin Qing He and Zhou Dong ate the white bun when they prepared to go home, Lin Qing He asked.

This time, only one per person.

"She can." Zhou Dong nodded quickly after hearing this as he ate a big white bun that he might not have had the opportunity to eat again in the future.

"Then I might have to trouble Little Xi to help this time to make a pair of shoes and two pairs of socks for each of my boys." Lin Qing He said.

"That's no problem. Do you need to make clothes? My sister also knows how to make clothes." Zhou Dong voiced out.

"No need. It's enough to ask their Eldest Aunt to make clothes for them, she is idle." Lin Qing He replied. What's more, Eldest Sister-in-law was also willing to make it.

After all, she will also be paid, and not let her work in vain.

When they returned home, it was almost four o'clock. Lin Qing He was exhausted to death.

Once things were unloaded, she let Zhou Dong enter the house to drink, and then let him go back first.

Mother Zhou and the children weren't home. They should be over at old Zhou family's side. Today, the production team went to hand over the public ration, so no work to do.

Tomorrow was the big day, food distribution.

Although Lin Qing He was very tired, she still sorted the things out in one go. She also took the old-style casserole pot from the space.
