However, they have heard a bit from Second Sister-in-law Zhou, that there were a coal stove and coal, as well as a new pot!

Last time Lin Qing He did to buy rice, but it was only a few jins, and it was very expensive. It also required a lot of food coupons. But it happened long time ago, how could there any left?

Needless to say, she must have bought a lot from the county city yesterday.

Putting aside the sesame seeds, there were ribs. This was too gluttonous. Their team had not divided meat yet!

The last time they ate meat was when they finished the autumn harvest last year!

Here, they divided the meat twice a year, once during this period, and again before the New Year.

Then it will be next year.

But look at Lin Qing He acting like this, this was obviously being rich and willful!

"There are still some at home, but not much." Zhou Da Wa's eyes spun before he answered.

Nobody doubted that a five-year-old kid will tell lies. After all, such rice was not easy to buy. Many people eat it in the county city, while the villagers don't eat it.

Because it was too expensive and can be compared with white flour. So who would have more spare money to buy it? And what's more, it needed food coupons!

At the end of the year, the ration coupons get distributed. But these coupons do not include food coupons, only imported oil coupons, and cotton coupons.

Around six o'clock, Zhou Dong was back with two bundles of firewood.

Lin Qing He wanted to settle the firewood money, but Zhou Dong did not accept it.

Last night the brother and sister duo brought the quilt home in the dark. It was really a good quilt, so warm and soft. It wasn't like their family's quilt. Not only were they old, but also dry and hard. Although they were better than nothing, it really didn't keep warm.

The quilt Lin Qing He gave was obviously very new. At least with such a quilt, his sister didn't need to freeze this winter.

As for him, it was okay. He was more resistant to cold.

After taking Shenzi's quilt, how could he accept payment again? In fact, he planned not to accept money for the firewood he brought back.

"If you don't accept it, I don't want this firewood." Lin Qing He declared.

"Shenzi..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Dong was interrupted by Lin Qing He: "Shenzi's quilt can't be used. If I can use it, I won't have to give it. So no need to be concerned about it. And also you helped me transport my food back today and Little Xi is helping to make the boys' shoes and socks at home now. You don't need to get even with me. One matter for one matter."

Then she stuffed him with three dimes: "Remember, when winter wheat is planted, you have to gather firewood back."

"Shenzi..."

"Hurry back to get something to eat. You have been busy for a whole day." Lin Qing He said. Then she closed the door, not bothering with Zhou Dong.

It was pretty late now. Just six o'clock and it was already cold. The sky also turned gray.

There wasn't much kerosene left at home. Only a little more than half jin per month. How could that be enough?

The next time she finds Mei Jie to buy meat, she must ask her if she had any channels. She must prepare more kerosene for her home.
