This……

"OK then."

He left the pen behind, but took the pencil case.

"If you give me something, I'll give you something in return."

Fu Huaiyi then took out the bracelet and said, "I polished this myself. It's really worthless, so please don't mind."

The bead was polished to a high gloss; at first glance, she thought it was some kind of jade, but when she got her hands on it, she realized it was wood.

There's also a faint fragrance.

Lin Yuyao sniffed it and looked at him questioningly. "This isn't worth much?"

Although she didn't understand these things, she did know that some wooden beads were extremely expensive.

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

He dared not lie to her any longer, and could only say, "Alright, this does have some value. But I got it for a very low price. It was a piece of wood that an old man in the countryside bought, and it almost ended up in the stove."

That piece of wood really had a rough life; it probably didn't cost much money.

He has some skill in finding it among the wood that was almost in the stove.

In Lin Yuyao's memory, only people who wear reading glasses would understand this.

She exclaimed in surprise, "You know about these things?"

"I don't really understand. My grandfather liked it, so I learned a little bit from him."

Oh, I see. I thought he had some kind of side business.

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll accept it."

Fu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't expensive for him, but he also knew that this thing was very rare.

Unlike Lu Jiangting, who was stingy and treated everyone better than her, claiming that his wife was family and that they were one, it was only right for her to share responsibilities with him.

It should be his father.

In Fu Huaiyi's eyes, his wife must receive his exclusive favor.

She deserves the best, and he wants to bring her all the rare treasures he has collected.

……

This summer was exceptionally hot, and after the heat subsided, the temperature dropped remarkably quickly.

As the autumn rain brought a chill, the temperature plummeted. Lin Yuyao, wrapped in a blanket, slept through the night and felt a bit of a cold, sneezing incessantly.

She couldn't let herself get sick, so she quickly went to the pharmacy and bought some preventative powder.

After getting off work in the evening, she went and bought herself a thicker set of clothes.

She couldn't wear her sandals anymore, so she bought a pair of Star shoes and several pairs of socks.

She had both sweaters and cotton-padded coats, which Lin Ping brought her in the summer, but it wasn't cold enough for her to wear them.

After buying these, she went and bought two more quilts.

A quilt made of substandard cotton was used as a mattress, while a quilt made of soft Xinjiang cotton was used as a bedding.

In addition, we need to buy bed sheets and duvet covers.

At this point, you have to sew the duvet cover on yourself, which is really troublesome.

Before she knew it, she had bought a lot of things. She asked the shopkeeper for a rope to tie them up and carried them back on her back.

Just as I was about to go up the stairs, I heard a series of hurried footsteps.

She recognized that voice. Was Fu Huaiyi back tonight?

She looked up and saw Fu Huaiyi hurrying down and taking the large bag she was carrying on her back.

"Brother Fu?"

"It just so happens that I came down to throw out the trash and ran into you. Let me help you carry it."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

If it was a coincidence last time, can it still be a coincidence this time?

She now suspects it's not a coincidence at all; Fu Huaiyi came specifically for her.

"Pour it for me."

He carried her purchases on his back and gave her the trash can as well.

Lin Yuyao looked down and saw that it was just a few wads of paper. Was it really worth coming downstairs to empty such a small amount?

Lin Yuyao felt a mix of emotions. She thanked him and went to take out his trash.

After she finished pouring, she looked up and saw that the brightest light was from his fourth-floor window.

She finally understood why he was able to come down so quickly.

It turned out that, without her knowing, he was standing there watching her.

The feeling of being noticed made Lin Yuyao's cheeks burn.

He carried his trash can upstairs and didn't realize he was on the fifth floor until he realized it.

Lin Yuyao looked at Fu Huaiyi standing at her door and said, "I forgot for a moment and brought your trash can upstairs."

"It's alright, just leave it by the door. I'll take it with me when I go downstairs."

"Row."

Lin Yuyao took out her key and opened the door. Fu Huaiyi carried her large bag of things in one hand and came in.

"You bought so much stuff?"

"Yes, it's getting cold, we'll need to buy some in the morning and evening."

Lin Yuyao untied the ropes and put the clothes and other items aside.

First, take out the substandard cotton quilt and lay it directly on the cooling mat.

Then they took a sheet and put it on.

Should I wash the new one?

Forget it, it's been raining these past few days, and I don't know how long it will take to dry even if I wash it.

Since we've already slept on substandard cotton, there's no need to be so particular.

As for the bedding and quilts... she only remembered when she was about to sew them that she hadn't bought a large sewing needle.

All we have at home are sewing needles, which are so thin that even if they break, we can't sew anything.

This……

"What's wrong?" Fu Huaiyi asked from the side.

Lin Yuyao said awkwardly, "I forgot to buy a large sewing needle for the quilt. Oh well, I'll sew it tomorrow. I'll just make do with the blanket tonight."

"Make do?" Fu Huaiyi said, "Didn't you check the weather forecast? It's going to get very cold tonight."

what?

"We can't make do tonight. Wait a minute, I have some, I'll go get it."

Fu Huaiyi brought it over quickly; to everyone's surprise, he actually had a needle and thread for sewing quilts.

They said it would get very cold tonight, and she could already feel it.

The wind is howling outside, and the balcony door seems flimsy, creaking incessantly. I'm really worried that if the wind gets any stronger, it will be blown away.

Fu Huaiyi had obviously noticed this as well, and was thinking about bringing the tools tomorrow to help her reinforce the door.

Just as I was thinking this, the door was blown open and slammed against the wall with a bang.

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"The wind is too strong," Lin Yuyao said as she went to close the door.

Looking at the small kitchen that had been built on the terrace, she couldn't help but sigh.

With such strong winds, won't they blow her kitchen away?

Lin Yuyao braved the wind to go to the terrace, looked at the asbestos tiles, and felt that they were quite sturdy and should not be blown away.

She went into the small kitchen and stuffed pots, pans, and other utensils inside.

The coal stove has been taken out; we'll take it inside in a bit, it won't do here.

Because this small kitchen is open-plan, it's very easy for water to get in when a strong wind or rainstorm hits.

Lin Yuyao had just put everything in the kitchen away and taken out the coal stove when she was suddenly enveloped in rain.

The strong wind, mixed with fine rain, quickly soaked her clothes.

She was still wearing light summer clothes, and the rain came so quickly that her clothes were soon soaked through.

"Achoo!" She sneezed loudly.

Fu Huaiyi, who was sewing bedding inside the house, put down his needle and thread and hurriedly went to the small terrace.

The wind, carrying rain, blew directly into his face.

"Yaoyao, come in quickly."

"Okay, it'll be ready soon."

She responded and continued with her work.

Because the small kitchen is open-plan, she can only cover it with plastic sheeting when it rains.
