Both partners said that six dimes would be enough, and the remaining eight dimes would be given to Zhou Dong. After all, if it were not for him, they would not be able to partake.

Earning six dimes in one go was a lot. It should be known that adults' one day worth was only about four dimes. This was the average and very few earn six or seven dimes.

They, teens get at most two dimes.

Now the winter wheat has already planted, they were about to enter the day of loafing. At this time, many hardworking people chose to find firewood to sell in the county city.

This way can somehow financially support their family expense, without having to sit down and empty out their nest?

Especially when they were teens, and have the largest appetite.

After being busy for the whole day, they can't make much money. But today, they made six dimes, which is really a lot!

Then they asked if they were needed tomorrow?

Zhou Dong had checked. His Shenzi said yes. It was the same phrase, she'll take as much as possible.

Zhou Dong replied to his two partners. Hearing the answer, both's eyes lit up and agreed on to start at the same time tomorrow. Tomorrow, they will gather more back!

Each of their families was delighted when they heard about the money their son made today. They simultaneously settled on not say anything outside.

What if Lin Qing He becomes dissatisfied when it gets out?

Looking at the whole village, there was no one who can be generous like her. Even if they just got their share of food, winter isolation was soon. Once the winter was over, there would a period of temporary shortage. Now was the slack season, they would earn a little if they can, after all, there were not many days like this.

A huge amount of firewoods was delivered every day. The firewood shed Zhou Qing Bai built for his family don't any space left. Lin Qing He asked Zhou Dong to put them in an empty place in the backyard and then covered them with bundles of straw. There was a heavy dew now and also needed to defend against rain. Covering was a must.

Speaking of rain, when Zhou Dong returned with the fifth cart of firewood, autumn rain began.

Everyone in the village said that this rain came at a perfect time because the wheat was planted and naturally, the rain was needed to moisturize it.

After the autumn rain came, the day became completely cold.

Lin Qing He estimated that it might only be seven or eight degrees, so she bundled up big Da Wa, Er Wa and San Wa without hesitation.

Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law's finished cotton-padded clothes, shoes, and socks. She equipped them all on them.

She has already woven Da Wa's sweater, so she puts on Da Wa first. Da Wa especially satisfied with this new set, and going out to boast was a must.

The autumn rain stopped after five continuous days. Lin Qing He let him be. As for the firewood at home, these days Zhou Dong brought a maximum of 13 or 14 bundles of firewood when they had a lot that day, and 11 or 12 bundles when they had little. The teen boys were full of energy and that's because it was a rare opportunity. So they spared no effort to make use of the time to make money.

After so many days in a row, enough firewood was accumulated at home.

Even if she heated the kang and wasting wood for cooking at home, there was no worry about not having enough.
