"I have no way to help right now, but I'll ask around to see if we can buy coal without a purchase certificate. If it's possible, it will likely cost more. I'll check on it."
The village is about to bring in coal, and Old Yang is in charge of it. I need to ask him what he thinks.
I do feel a responsibility towards the educated youths, but others do not. It's hard to say if they will be willing to help.
"Thank you so much, Village Chief." If there really is coal, it can save a lot of firewood. And since the stove is indoors, it can heat the bed and warm the house.
"Alright, you can wait for news, but it's uncertain. Sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. So you still need to conserve your firewood; after all, you need it for at least two more months."
Hearing this, a few of them felt like crying.
Li Yungui sent off the few dispirited educated youths and headed to Old Yang's house. Just then, Yan Shuping who was returning to find him saw this.
