After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Avery began to prepare for winter. Last year, he had no experience and started preparing a little late. The winter in Shuifu Village was more difficult than he had imagined. This year's situation might not be better than last year, so he might as well prepare everything at home early.
However, the weather had not cooled down completely yet, and some foods could not be stored for the time being. Avery first stocked up on dry goods and other supplies that were easy to preserve, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, coal and other daily necessities that would definitely be used.
The generator that Avery wanted to buy was not available in the town, so he had to go to the city and buy one. Along with the generator, he also bought diesel for the machine. Avery bought quite a lot, thinking it would last until February next year.
In addition to the most important generator, Avery also bought a lot of quilts, bedding, down jackets and other items for the family, as well as coal for heating the kang. He directly ordered a truckload of coal from the town's coal seller and planned to take it home when it arrived. Avery also bought candles, battery-powered table lamps, flashlights and other small items for the family, just to avoid any malfunction of the generator and prevent the house from being completely dark.
Hu Shu from the town saw Avery carrying large and small bags of these unusual daily necessities home and felt it was really strange. He said it was still early for winter, so what was he doing? Was he starting to stock up as if the world was going to end?
