Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Lin An'an was somewhat persuaded.

She had no experience of spending the winter here, but having lived in the south for two lifetimes, she knew that the winters here were indeed much colder than in the south.

The man spoke so seriously; perhaps holding a wedding after snowfall would indeed be inconvenient.

Gu Qingsong glanced at Lin An'an's expression and continued to pretend to be calm, saying, "I noticed you didn't bring much with you when you came. Did you prepare a thick quilt? I heard the kang (heated brick bed) that the educated youth had isn't very comfortable."

Lore!

Lin An'an has indeed been worried about the issue of winter supplies recently.

The houses at the educated youth settlement were originally abandoned courtyards in the village. Because the educated youth had nowhere to live after they went to the countryside, the village simply renovated the houses for them to live in.

Although it has been repaired, it is still an old house, and it often leaks everywhere when it rains. After patching one spot, it leaks again in another.

Especially during heavy rain, the house was like a waterfall, and the educated youth's basins weren't enough to catch all the leaking raindrops.

According to the older educated youth, the kang (heated brick bed) wasn't very good either; it produced a lot of smoke and ash when lit in winter, and it wasn't very warm.

However, no one in the educated youth settlement knew how to repair the kang (a heated brick bed), and hiring someone to repair it would cost a lot of money.

According to village custom, during the days when people are working, the invited guests must be invited to stay for a meal at least once a day, and that meal usually includes meat dishes.

They, as educated youth, were barely able to feed themselves, so how could they bear to spend this money to treat others to meat?

I heard that in other brigades, some educated youth from wealthy families came to the countryside, and two or three of them covered all the repair costs.

Some of the wealthier ones have even obtained new land grants to build houses!

But the educated youth in their settlements were all poor, so they could only envy them.

When Lin An'an went to the countryside, she only prepared a set of thick clothes; she didn't have a thick quilt.

It's been cold lately, and at night I take off my clothes and cover myself with the blankets, relying on my strong willpower to get through it, shivering as I go.

She wanted to buy a thick quilt, but she had no connections and no money, which was causing her a lot of worry. Gu Qingsong's words really hit the nail on the head.

Lin An'an hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is your kang (heated brick bed) comfortable?"

Gu Qingsong paused upon hearing this, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.

After a few breaths, he smiled again and said casually, "The kang was just cleaned up this year and repaired properly. It will definitely work well."

"I've also prepared enough firewood. If you're afraid of the cold, you can start heating the kang now."

Lin An'an's eyes lit up. The older educated youth were a little better off, after all, they had been there for a long time and had gradually gotten used to it.

The newly arrived educated youths expend all their energy on work, and after work, out of consideration for their pitiful stomachs, they are already quite diligent in finding some wild vegetables and fruits.

People simply didn't have the extra energy to gather more firewood, so they didn't have much firewood prepared for the winter.

It's estimated that we'll have to wait a while longer, until the weather gets unbearably cold, before we start heating the kang (heated brick bed).

Gu Qingsong's family can start heating the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) now, and there's a super handsome guy with a great physique helping to warm the bed. How warm it will be to sleep at night!

Lin An'an, being from the south, had never used a kang (a heated brick bed) before. During this period of hunger and cold, she longed for the days when she could use a kang with a fire, and she had already put a thick filter on the kang.

He immediately agreed, saying, "Getting married in ten days is great, I'll do whatever you say."

After saying that, she gave Gu Qingsong a sweet smile.

Since she had decided to settle down with someone, Lin An'an didn't want to be too reserved.

If we can get along harmoniously in the future and develop feelings for each other, that would be the best outcome.

Gu Qingsong was delighted to hear the agreement when he was suddenly taken aback by Lin An'an's sweet smile.

He clutched his chest and then laughed.
