The next day, Lin Xia and the others started pickling cabbage and preparing cabbages, potatoes, and radishes for the winter.
They didn't skimp on the pickled vegetables; Lin Xia estimated that they would surely have leftovers well into the following spring.
After busying themselves all day, they ate meat dumplings for dinner, satiated and quenched, everyone retired to their rooms to sleep.
The following morning, Lin Qiu, just like Lin Xia, got ready and went to work at the garment factory.
Lin Xia told her to ride the ladies' bicycle, while she rode Lin Chun's large-frame bicycle.
Lin Chun had to go register for something not too far away, so she could just walk there.
Lin Dong also went to school, so all four of them left the house.
While Lin Xia was working, around nine o'clock when the saw stopped, someone told her there was a person looking for her outside.
Lin Xia guessed who it might be looking for her and suspected it might be Lin Aiguo!
