After dinner, everyone didn't immediately retire to their rooms, after all, it was too stifling inside compared to the openness outside.
Everyone was casually chatting and packing their belongings. Teacher Chang rummaged through the car and found some expired food. He looked pained as he threw them away.
Tan Xiao, however, seemed relatively cheerful, reassuring him, "Autumn is just around the corner, so the corn and grain must be ripe by now. We can just pick up a bag from the village, that should be enough for us, there are fruit trees on the mountains, and fish in the water, we won't starve!"
Teacher Chang asked, "But what about winter?"
Tan Xiao was expected to say that we need to gather more supplies for the winter but seemed like he hadn't considered this at all. After a pause, he simply replied, "Let's focus on surviving until winter."
Despite the seemingly tragic nature of his statement, somehow Tan Xiao made everyone burst into laughter.
