"Okay, are you planning to grind it all?"
"Let's keep half."
"I'll come find you tonight and teach you how to pour water on the corn kernels."
"Sis, are you going to the mountains today?"
Wang Ailing shook her head, "No, I'm staying home to help my mom wash and dismantle the cotton clothes."
Jiang Xinyu returned home, took up the tools, and went up the mountain herself. Mainly to gather leaves. She discovered yesterday that at night, when the fire was almost out, stuffing a stove full of leaves made the kang warmer than the previous days.
Because she wanted to smuggle some, she went to the small valley again, and by the time she was about to leave in the evening, the leaves on the ground were all cleaned up.
When she got home, she laid out the leaves, and only then had time to tidy herself up.
