He eats bite by bite and doesn't need anyone to coax him into opening his mouth.

"Ah woo~"

The two children ate the meat in big mouthfuls, showing their little baby teeth to Xu Qingluo.

Xu Qingluo looked at the two well-behaved children with a smile in her eyes, and the past events were over.

"Ghost."

After taking care of the two children to finish their meal, Xu Qingluo and Zhou's mother picked up their bowls and chopsticks to eat.

Next day:

Xu Qingluo sent the photos and the sweater knitted by Zhou's mother back home, and also sent five kilograms of rice to Xu's father and mother.

"Comrade Xu Qingluo, your withdrawal slip has arrived."

"Thank you."

Xu Qingluo took the withdrawal slip and went home. When she got home, Zhou's mother was carrying a basket to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and sow seeds.

The days passed slowly for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and before they knew it, the weather in Snow City had become colder.

Before the snow fell, Zhou's mother harvested the vegetables from the vegetable garden and took them home to make pickles for storage.

Xu Qingluo counted the food, coal briquettes and firewood in the house.

She brought back a lot of food one after another, and the firewood was barely enough.

There was no rush for firewood. It hadn't snowed in Xuecheng yet, so she could just go to the foot of the mountain to pick up some more in the next few days.

What our family lacks most now is coal briquettes, which require coal briquettes tickets.

Especially in Snow City, where it is cold, the coal briquettes supplied every year are not enough for everyone to use.

Even if you have a ticket, you may not be able to buy it.

These things were prepared by Zhou Yuheng last year. Zhou Yuheng knows people in the city.

But now Zhou Yuheng is still on a mission, so Xu Qingluo can only think of other ways.

"Tongzi, how many coal briquettes do I have now?"

Xu Qingluo didn't stock up on many coal briquettes.

She had never thought that she would come to this era.

She stockpiled things that were necessary for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the coal briquettes were a problem for her.

Fortunately, Xu Qingluo received rewards every day, and sometimes she would also receive coal briquettes as rewards, which she also saved up.

"Host, you still have 200 briquettes in total."

Xu Qingluo knew that 200 coal briquettes would only last for two months at most, so she had to find a way to buy some.

Xu Qingluo thought about it and decided that it would not work if she went directly to the coal briquette factory to buy it.

Even if the coal briquette factory wanted to sell it to him, they would not dare to do business openly.

But she can go to the coal briquette factory's tube building!

The coal briquette family compound is home to the families of workers from the coal briquette factory.

She can exchange some grain or brown sugar with the people in the coal briquette factory’s staff quarters!

"Mom, I'm going to the city to buy some more coal briquettes."

"Okay, be careful."

"it is good."

Xu Qingluo put on the backpack and rode his bicycle towards the city.

"Auntie, can you tell me which way is the coal briquette factory?"

It was Xu Qingluo’s first time to go to a coal briquette factory, so he could only ask people living nearby.

"The coal briquette factory is still a ways off."

The enthusiastic aunt showed Xu Qingluo the way. Xu Qingluo nodded and thanked the aunt.

"Thank you, aunt."

Xu Qingluo rode in the direction pointed by the enthusiastic aunt and found a deserted place to give himself a makeover.

Xu Qingluo used a yellow foundation to paint her face a little yellower.

There are a lot of red marks and chloasma on my face.

"Tongzi, how do you like my makeup?"

"It's good. It looks scary."

Xu Qingluo looked in the mirror and asked the system to take back all the cosmetics.

"Tongzi, find me a ragged coat, trousers, and cloth shoes to change into."

The system rummaged through the warehouse and found a set of clothes made of rough fabric.

Xu Qingluo put on his pants, took off his coat, and changed his canvas shoes into patched cloth shoes.

"Tongzi, put the bicycle inside."

"it is good."

Tongzi put the bicycle into the warehouse.

Xu Qingluo filled his backpack with ten kilograms of brown sugar and five kilograms of fine grains, and then headed towards the coal briquette factory.

Xu Qingluo arrived at the coal briquette factory's tube building, but he didn't dare to enter rashly and could only wander around the door.

Xu Qingluo looked at the people coming in and out, and pulled a friendly-looking aunt to ask in a low voice.

"Auntie, do you want brown sugar?"

When the lady who was held by Xu Qingluo heard the word "brown sugar", she quickly turned her eyes and looked around.

"Do you have brown sugar?"

Brown sugar is a lifesaver in winter, but it is hard to buy now.

"Ah."

"How to sell it?"

"One pound of brown sugar can be exchanged for 20 coal briquettes."

When the old lady heard Xu Qingluo's words, she knew that she had come specifically to exchange for coal briquettes.

The old lady was also smart. She smiled and took Xu Qingluo's hand into the tube building, saying something.

"Big niece."

"Let's talk at my house."

Xu Qingluo followed the old lady home. After the old lady closed the door, she immediately asked her what she had.

"I have brown sugar and rice."

"Whether it's brown sugar or rice, one pound is equivalent to 20 coal balls."

When the old lady heard that she still had rice, she was instantly surprised and quickly asked her how many coal briquettes she needed.

"Girl, how many briquettes do you want?"

"I have ten kilograms of brown sugar and ten kilograms of rice."

The old lady was counting in her head. The total weight of these things was 20 kilograms, which meant she needed to prepare 400 coal briquettes.

400 coal briquettes are just enough for a family to survive the winter.

Her husband is the director of a coal briquette factory, so she can probably get it by making some moves.

"to make!"

“I have some at home!”

"I want all your things."

"But I need to see the goods first."

As soon as Xu Qingluo entered the old lady's house, he could tell that the man in her family should be at the cadre level.

If you are not at the cadre level, you cannot be allocated a three-bedroom apartment.

Xu Qingluo opened the backpack and let the old lady inspect the goods.

When the old lady saw the brown sugar and rice in the basket, her eyes narrowed with smile.

"I want them all."

The old lady felt relieved when she saw the goods, but she couldn't just take away 400 coal briquettes.

The old lady had to secretly ask her son and daughter-in-law to take Xu Qingluo out.

"There are so many coal briquettes. I'll have someone bring them over to you later."

"Okay, just pull it to the foot of the mountain, one kilometer away."

"I'll give it to you then."

Xu Qingluo was not stupid enough to give the brown sugar and rice to the old lady right away.

Money is paid and goods are delivered, and both parties are cleared upon arrival of the goods.

The old lady smiled when she heard Xu Qingluo's words. She didn't expect that this girl was so cautious.

"Okay, I'll ask my daughter-in-law to pull it over to you."

The old lady immediately asked her daughter-in-law to go to the factory and explain to her son.

Ask him to take an hour off and quickly bring Xu Qingluo over.

These are all food. As long as she doesn’t get the food, she will not be able to rest assured.

Xu Qingluo agreed on a location with the old lady, then left the tube-shaped building and went to wait at the foot of the mountain one kilometer away.

Xu Qingluo went to the foot of the mountain and asked the system to take out a wooden cart.

Xu Qingluo collected firewood at the foot of the mountain for an hour.

Only then did I see the old lady's daughter-in-law and son pulling a cart over.

It is much more convenient to collect firewood here than in the staff quarters. There is no one here and there is no need to rush.

"is her."
