Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to continue speaking, He Yuzhu happened to come out of the room. He saw Yi Zhonghai talking to Qin Huairu at a glance, and then walked towards them.

"Hey, Uncle Yida and Sister Qin, what are you two talking about here?" He Yuzhu asked curiously as he approached.

He Yuzhu thought Qin Huairu was pretty. He saw Gu Nan when she came just now, but he was still afraid of Gu Nan, so he didn't come out. He only came out after seeing Gu Nan leave.

Qin Huairu turned to look at Yi Zhonghai and said with difficulty: "Uncle, and Zhuzi, you both know Dongxu's current physical condition. He is really afraid of cold! Especially in winter, it is unbearable. So, I wanted to ask Gu Nan to borrow some coal, but I didn't expect that he ignored me at all." Qin Huairu shook her head helplessly.

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was so angry that his eyes widened. He looked indignantly in the direction of Gu Nan's house and muttered, "Humph, this guy Gu Nan is not even considered a member of our courtyard! He has no human touch at all!"

Even though He Yuzhu cursed like this, he actually didn't have the courage to go to Gu Nan in person to argue.

Then, He Yuzhu turned his gaze to Qin Huairu and said sincerely, "Sister Qin, you know I haven't had time to buy coal yet. If I had already bought it, I would definitely lend it to you without saying anything."

Qin Huairu naturally understood He Yuzhu's difficulties. She smiled and nodded to show her understanding. Then, as if she had thought of something, Qin Huairu said to He Yuzhu shyly: "Zhuzi, in this case, then you see... can you help my sister install the stove?" After saying that, she looked at He Yuzhu expectantly.

Qin Huairu knew that He Yuzhu was afraid of Gu Nan, so He Yuzhu was just talking and Qin Huairu didn't take it to heart.

He Yuzhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Sister Qin, you make it sound so serious, I thought it was a big deal! Okay, I'll go with you right away."

Yi Zhonghai, who was standing aside, cast his gaze in the direction of Gu Nan's house, thinking secretly in his heart: In this courtyard nowadays, if we were to say who has the greatest influence on everyone's life, it would probably be Gu Nan!

Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Qin Huairu and said earnestly, "Huairu, go to my house and get some coal later. I still have a little bit left. It should be enough for emergency. As for Zhuzi, you have to buy more coal this year."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu waved his hands quickly, shaking his head like a rattle, and complained bitterly: "Uncle, you don't know, my life is very tight this year. The salary is not enough to support myself. I really don't have any extra money to buy coal."

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle, don't forget that I am an apprentice now. My salary is not enough for my own spending, and I have to give gifts. How can I have money?"

Yi Zhonghai stared at He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, didn't you have any savings before? You can't have saved a penny, right?"

He Yuzhu's mind was as clear as a mirror. He was very smart and naturally knew that he had to leave some backup plans for himself, otherwise he would not even be able to find a wife in the future.

Thinking of this, he shrugged helplessly and replied, "Uncle, do you think I am the kind of person who spends money lavishly? My salary is just enough to barely make a living, how can I save anything!"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood what He Yuzhu said. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and decided generously: "Okay, Zhuzi, I will pay for the coal this year! You should go and help Qin Huairu install the furnace first."

When He Yuzhu heard this, a happy smile immediately broke out on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, thank you very much! I'll go there with Sister Qin right away." After that, he left happily with Qin Huairu.

Looking at the two people's backs walking away, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "Alas... It looks like I will have to spend a lot of money again this year!"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and went back. After all, he still had to tell his wife about this matter to avoid her being unhappy.

Gu Nanduan sat at the table, looking at Ran Qiuye across from him tenderly, and asked softly, "Qiuye, what are you doing standing there after you came back?"

Ran Qiuye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and responded: "I just want to find out whether this stove is really as warm as you said."

Gu Nan couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. He stood up and walked to Ran Qiuye, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Okay, don't think about it! The food is ready. Let's fill our stomachs first. When it snows, you will naturally feel its warmth."

Ran Qiuye nodded when he heard this, stood up obediently and walked to the bathroom to wash his hands and eat.

In the early morning, Gu Nan woke up from his sleep and felt a chill. He couldn't help shivering and turned to look out the window. He saw that the outside had turned into a world covered in silver. The vast expanse of white was very beautiful.

Gu Nan never thought that the system was so powerful that it could even predict snow.

"Qiuye, look! It's snowing! How about I ask for a day off from school for you? It's too cold today." Gu Nan said as he walked to the window and looked at Ran Qiuye with concern.

However, Ran Qiuye shook his head firmly and replied: "Gu Nan, don't worry about it. As a teacher, how can I take leave just because of a snowfall?"

Gu Nan stood in front of the window, quietly staring at the falling snow outside, thinking to himself: This snow came at the right time, maybe this year's disaster can be alleviated to a certain extent. Thinking of this, Gu Nan turned around and suggested to Ran Qiuye: "In this case, let's just run to work, it's still early now."

Ran Qiuye thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Well, that's fine. This way, when I get home from get off work, I can check whether the stove is warm enough."

After saying that, the two of them went out together and set out on their way to work in the wind and snow. Gu Nan decided to send Ran Qiuye to school first and then go to work himself.
