At this moment, Gu Nan was playing outside with Ran Qiuye, enjoying the rare leisure time in winter. The sky was gloomy, and the cold wind blew, making people feel a little chilly.

(Write the time here. It was in 1961. As for the events, there are some changes. Thank you for your understanding.)

Gu Nan shrank his neck, turned his head to look at Ran Qiuye beside him and said, "Qiuye, the weather is getting colder and colder! Maybe it will snow in a few days. Let's buy some coal on the way back, so as not to be in a hurry when it really snows."

Ran Qiuye nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Well, that's fine. I heard that burning those iron sheets can be very warm, so I can try it out to see if it's really that magical."

Ever since Gu Nan put it on, Ran Qiuye has wanted to see the magic of it, but she never had the chance. Now the weather is finally going to change, and she can see if these things Gu Nan made can warm things.

On the other hand, when Gu Nan signed in this morning, he was lucky enough to receive a large amount of coal as a reward from the system. He knew that it was going to snow soon, so it was always a good idea to prepare more coal, which would also prevent the courtyard from being in chaos and restlessness due to the sudden appearance of coal in Gu Nan's house.

Looking at the Jia family, Jia Dongxu's leg injury has not healed yet, and he is particularly afraid of the cold. He looked eagerly at Jia Zhang who was sitting next to him, and begged, "Mom, I think we should light the stove, please go buy some coal."

However, Jia Zhang shook her head disapprovingly and replied unhappily: "Why buy coal? With our current situation, how can we have the spare money to buy coal? We can just go to each household in the courtyard and borrow some. I want to see who dares not to lend us some!"

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he couldn't help but think carefully about what his mother said. He narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what his mother said seemed to make some sense.

So, Jia Dongxu slowly turned his gaze to Qin Huairu, who had been standing quietly beside him. His eyes revealed a trace of anxiety and dissatisfaction, and he urged her bluntly: "What are you doing standing there? Go to the neighbors and borrow some coal! Do you want to watch me freeze to death?"

When Qin Huairu heard this, she first glanced at Jia Zhangshi. Seeing that her mother-in-law did not say anything, she explained softly, "Mom, don't worry. The neighbors in the courtyard haven't had time to buy coal yet, but they will go to buy coal soon. After everyone has bought the coal, I will go door to door to borrow some."

However, Jia Zhang remained silent, just sitting there quietly, with no expression on her face. But Jia Dongxu became more and more impatient after listening to Qin Huairu's words.

He glared at Qin Huairu fiercely and raised his voice and said, "Qin Huairu, what on earth are you thinking? Are you deliberately trying to make me suffer from the cold?"

Seeing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly said with a smile: "Dongxu, look at what you said, how could I have such an idea. Look, I am planning to go to the old man's house to borrow some coal for emergency, and then ask He Yuzhu to come and help install the stove for our family."

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu's expression softened a little, and he nodded gently to show his agreement. But when he saw Qin Huairu still standing there, he suddenly became angry and shouted, "What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for a pie in the sky or for food to be served? Hurry up and get out!"

Qin Huairu secretly complained in her heart. She had originally wanted to take the opportunity to taste the delicious dishes that He Yuzhu brought back, but who knew that she would be driven away so rudely by Jia Dongxu. In desperation, she could only turn around and walk out the door reluctantly...

Just as Qin Huairu was about to head to Yi Zhonghai's house with light steps, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her - it turned out that Gu Nan and Ran Qiuye had returned together. Moreover, they were followed closely by several workers who were responsible for delivering coal.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but widen her eyes, thinking to herself: This Gu Nan seems to be quite frugal on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he would buy so much coal today! Isn't this a godsend? Thinking of this, she hurriedly stepped forward, her eyes fell directly on Gu Nan.

However, what she never expected was that Gu Nan seemed to ignore her, not even paying any attention to her. He even walked around her sideways with Ran Qiuye without hesitation.

Qin Huairu just stood there blankly, watching Gu Nan's back as he walked away, feeling a little upset. She couldn't understand why Gu Nan was so cold and heartless that he didn't even want to pay attention to her. However, Qin Huairu soon realized that this was definitely not the time to lose her temper.

Qin Huairu didn't even think about what she had done during this period of time, otherwise why would Gu Nan ignore her.

So, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then hurried to Gu Nan, blocking his way, and asked with pretended concern: "Hey, Gu Nan, and Teacher Ran, why did you buy so much coal?"

Gu Nan stopped when he heard the voice, looked up at Qin Huairu, and responded expressionlessly: "Qin Huairu, how much coal I buy is my business, what does it have to do with you?"

After saying that, he no longer looked at her, turned to the masters who were pulling coal and shouted, "Masters, please follow me." After saying that, he raised his foot and continued to walk forward.

Qin Huairu was shaking with anger, but she still held back. She came to Ran Qiuye and grabbed Ran Qiuye's hand. "Teacher Ran, you are a teacher, you can't just stand by and watch us die. You know our family's situation. Dongxu has become disabled and Banggeng is still in prison. Please save us."

After Ran Qiuye came to the courtyard again, he saw too much, so he naturally knew what kind of person Qin Huairu was: "Qin Huairu, I have to tell you, no one can save your family, you can only save yourself, I gave you coal, but my house is still cold."

After saying that, Ran Qiuye no longer paid attention to Qin Huairu and went back directly.

Qin Huairu didn't know what to say after hearing what Ran Qiuye said. At this moment, Yi Zhonghai came out and saw Gu Nan coming back from buying coal.

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing here?"

Qin Huairu walked over. Now she wanted to tear Gu Nan and Ran Qiuye apart, but what could she say?

"Uncle, didn't you see that Gu Nan bought so much coal?"
