"It doesn’t matter if you don’t. Usually, if so classmates don’t co to class at night, there’s no need to specifically go to school to ask for leave unless they haven’t co for a week and there’s no news. Then the teacher might ask nearby classmates to check up on them."
"Okay."
In the middle of the night, the temperature suddenly dropped. The next morning, I got up and saw that there was frost on the ground.
The sky was gloomy. Luckily, when Lin Wan ca, she had brought a knitted cardigan. Wearing a cardigan at ho is fine, but if you’re going outside, you have to wear a wool coat to look good.
If the temperature drops so more, I’ll have to wear a thin cotton-padded jacket.
When Han Yi left in the morning, he said he might not co back for lunch and told her not to wait for him.
Lin Wan was fine, wearing clothes and sitting on the kang knitting a scarf. Sister-in-law Zhang ca over after a while and dragged her to visit Jiang Ailian’s house, which was the second house in the row in front of them.
The layout was the sa, and the tables and cabinets were the type uniformly distributed by the team, so there was nothing to compare here.
Jiang Ailian’s ho was very clean. When Director Shen was at the camp, she was the only one at ho. Usually, when there’s nothing to do, she’d only find soone to chat with. Won together always talk about dostic affairs to pass the ti.
When they arrived, Jiang Ailian was making shoes at ho.
"Saozi is already making cotton shoes." Lin Wan couldn’t make shoes, her mom could, but she only made single shoes, not these particularly thick northern ones.
They bought cotton shoes to wear in the winter.
"I’m just idle, might as well make a few more pairs at ho. In winter, the n wear out shoes easily. They often get wet with snow, so I prepare a few more pairs for him." Jiang Ailian laughed and invited them to quickly get on the kang.
"That’s right." Only then did Lin Wan notice that Sister-in-law Zhang was holding a shoe sole.
"Xiao Wan, are you starting to knit a sweater again?"
At this mont, Lin Wan was holding the yarn, already halfway through.
"No, it’s a scarf."
"Speaking of sweaters, I’ve been knitting one for Brother Shen these few days, but I’m slow at it, and it’s still just a piece now." Last ti in the city, she specially bought several pounds of yarn ho.
Jiang Ailian said as she took out a half-knitted sweater from the wardrobe.
She stopped making shoes and kept Lin Wan company by knitting the sweater.
"Last ti, Xiao Wan taught to knit a sweater, and in the spring I knitted one for each of my two kids. I didn’t even knit one for myself. Next month’s paycheck, no matter what, I have to knit one for myself."
"We won always care too much for our n and kids, reluctant to eat or wear anything good. We work hard and turn ourselves into yellow-faced won. In the end, the n even look down on us. So, we must be a bit kinder to ourselves."
Jiang Ailian’s words made Lin Wan secretly give her a thumbs up. "Saozi, you’re absolutely right."
"By the way, there’s a local market this morning. Let’s go take a stroll. We don’t have many groceries left at ho these days," Sister-in-law Zhang suddenly suggested.
"Sure, let’s go now," Jiang Ailian was bored at ho, even if they didn’t buy anything, a walk would do.
Lin Wan thought about the few things left at ho and nodded. They each went ho to get baskets.
There was a basket in Lin Wan’s yard. She took ten yuan when she left.
Lin Wan didn’t feel like eating at anymore. Apart from so leftovers at ho, there wasn’t much else.
"Isn’t the market every morning? How co it’s starting in the afternoon too?" The three of them walked over, and Lin Wan curiously asked along the way.
