Bai Yuhua put out the fire and watched Jiang Xue heading out. She reminded her, "It's cold outside, wear more layers so you don't catch a chill."
"Mom, I know."
Jiang Xue didn't want Bai Yuhua to worry, so she said this while returning to her room to grab a jacket before heading out again.
As soon as she stepped out, Jiang Xue headed straight to her family's vegetable garden. However, she hadn't even reached her destination when she ran into a few sisters-in-law on the road.
Each of them was carrying a carrying pole, suggesting they were going up the mountain to gather firewood. Indeed, it was already December, and time to stock up on firewood for the New Year.
If they weren't prepared, they'd run out of firewood for the New Year. After all, in this place, it often snows for several days during the New Year. Without enough firewood, it would be a tough New Year.
