"It's already October, it's cold, Sergey, do you feel cold in the house, if it's cold, I'll burn some wood in the fireplace after eating." Sergei was hospitalized for two weeks, and it was mid-October when he was discharged, and the weather had turned cooler.

"It's okay, it's not very cold."

"I've been watching my neighbors hoarding items for the past two days, and our family should be ready too."

Sergei frowned and said, "It's time to prepare, there isn't much wood at home, right?" ”

"Yes, there isn't much left, I think I'll catch the market tomorrow, and after the stall is closed, I'll go to the lumber mill wholesale point in the town, buy more this time, and keep it for the winter."

"The wood is heavy, how can you move it?" Sergei was a little worried, he used to do the work of buying wood and splitting wood, but now that he has a foot injury, these jobs will fall on Jingjing, how can Jingjing do it as a woman.

"It's okay, the lumber mill isn't sawn, it's not a whole piece of wood, I can move it."

"Jingjing, be careful."

"I know, by the way, in addition to wood, we also have to stock up on meat, vegetables and milk powder, which I think the neighbors buy."

"Yes, meat, vegetables and milk are expensive in winter."

Yao Jingjing nodded and sighed: "It will cost a lot of money again." Fortunately, in a few days, the potatoes, cabbage, and peppers in the field should be ripe. ”

The next day, on Saturday, Yao Jingjing rushed to the town with three bags of goods to sell. The goods were swept away in less than a morning, because she was the only one selling the goods, and she was not idle for a moment, and when the stall was closed, Yao Jingjing was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Whew, Yao Jingjing sat paralyzed in the car, exhaled a long breath, she took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads on her forehead, she used to have Sergei to help her, she was not so tired, now she is alone, and her body is really a little unbearable!

"Yao Jingjing, are you going to close the stall?" At this time, a familiar male voice came, Yao Jingjing turned her head to look, and saw Artyom coming over.

"Yes, it's all sold out, and I'm going to close the stall and go to the lumber mill."

"Lumber mills? Are you going to wholesale wood? ”

"Yes, I see that the people in the village have been wholesale wood for the winter for the past few days, and I have to hurry up and prepare!" In rural Russia, there is no natural gas, and wood is burned for heating and cooking, and a few villages have installed heating and use coal for heating.

"Well, then, I'll accompany you to the lumber mill, and I just so have to buy some more timber, and help you move it by the way."

"How can this work, don't you still have a stall! I'll just go alone. ”

"Sergei has a foot injury, how can you move wood as a woman, it's heavy. Wait a minute, I'll ask a friend to help me look at the stall. Without waiting for Yao Jingjing to speak, Artyom turned and left.

Yao Jingjing was both happy and a little embarrassed, she was happy to have someone to help, but she didn't want to cause trouble to others.

Artyom got on Yao Jingjing's tricycle, and the two went to the town's timber mill together, Yao Jingjing wholesaled a large amount of timber, but fortunately, with Artyom's help, the timber was successfully moved to the tricycle.

"Artyom, thank you so much for today." Yao Jingjing thanked Artyom when she returned it to the bazaar.

"You're welcome, it's all from the villagers, it's a trivial matter."

After saying goodbye to Artyom, Yao Jingjing drove back to the village, passing by a shoe store on the way, she parked the car, and a pair of men's shoes in the window caught Yao Jingjing's attention.
