Amid Mu Xiu's disturbing thoughts, the ox cart slowly pulled everyone home. Zhou Shuilian came out and had already prepared the meal, waiting for them to come back.

"You guys wash your hands quickly, keep your luggage first, and then pack up after dinner." Zhou Shuilian saw the children, and her face was filled with smiles.

This time, because we had to take the exam and wait for the transcripts in the county, we didn’t come back for three weeks.

Today, Uncle Chen went to the county town to pick them up. As soon as he left, Zhou Shuilian started to get busy at home. He ran to the door from time to time, looked out the door, muttering constantly, why haven't he come back yet?

"Grandma, grandpa, I miss you very much." Mu Chunfeng hugged Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui again.

"Grandma, grandpa, I miss you so much!" Li Hu rushed towards Zhou Shuilian without being outdone, and pulled her arm.

Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui immediately laughed so hard that their mouths could not close.

A few people talked and laughed, washed their hands, and ran into the house. Life is already very cold now. Everyone is sitting on the ox cart, blowing the cold wind. Although they are all wearing thick clothes, their hands and feet are still cold.

The kang in the room had already been burning warm. As soon as a few people entered the room, a warm current rushed towards them, and everyone felt relieved all over.

"Ah, the house is still comfortable, it's so warm, unlike in the city that I've frozen to death every day." Mu Xiu took off the big cotton jacket outside and sat on the kang and said comfortably.

"What's the matter of death, life, it's almost the Chinese New Year, so you are not allowed to say such words." Zhou Shuilian quickly explained to Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu stuck out his tongue and looked at the dishes on the table on the kang. Today's dishes are really rich, including chickens, ducks, fish, and vegetables...

"Eat quickly, it's hot." Zhou Shuilian called out to the people and had a meal soon.

"There is a loss for this. Otherwise, the food will be cold in a while." Mu Xiaoshu picked up a mouthful of vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth, sighing while eating.

"If I eat hot pot, the food will not be cold." This thought suddenly flashed through Mu Xiu's mind, and then he couldn't help it.

In the last life, Mu Xiu didn’t like to eat hot pot very much. It was a waste of time when eating hot pot. After eating hot pot, it tasted the same and had to wash your hair and take a bath. It was so troublesome. Therefore, after rebirth, Mu Xiu never thought about eating hot pot.

But Mu Xiu's ex-husband loves hot pot, so Mu Xiu's family stocks a lot of hot pot base ingredients. These hot pot base ingredients are carefully selected by Mu Xiu on Taobao according to the hot pot base ingredients ranking, and the taste is very good.

When he divorced, Mu Xiu stuffed all the things at home into the space, so he would not have to worry about the lack of ingredients if he made a hot pot.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiu decided that she would prepare to prepare a hot pot for this year's New Year's Eve dinner so that everyone could taste fresh. People like the Mu family must have never eaten hot pot.

"Grandma, thank you for preparing such delicious meals for us." Li Hu suddenly thanked Zhou Shuilian as he ate.

Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui were stunned when they heard this, while Mu Xiaoshu and Mu Xiu were used to continuing to eat.

Zhou Shuilian smiled and said to Li Hu, "What are you thanking? Family, hurry up, eat more, look, you've lost weight."

"The teacher said, you must be grateful, and... you must say thank you to the person you take care of." Li Hu thought for a while and said in the teacher's tone.

"Oh, the teachers in this city are really capable and teach very well!" Zhou Shuilian heard Li Hu's stern words, and her tone was full of surprise.

Mu Xiaoshu's mouth smiled. Li Hu had indeed changed a lot since he went to kindergarten. From the beginning, he had fought and cried with the children to the more and more rules he became. From time to time, some words like adults would appear in his mouth, which made Mu Xiaoshu feel more and more gratified.

Mu Xiu is right. The child really needs to be well educated and guided since childhood. Fortunately, he was sent to kindergarten, otherwise she would definitely not be able to teach these principles.

"Grandma, thank you." Mu Chunfeng quickly said to Zhou Shuilian.

"Tsk tsk, you have grown up and you are all sensible!" Zhou Shuilian happily hugged one of them, and the smile on her face never stopped.

After dinner, everyone started to pick up their luggage to their respective rooms. Everyone's room was clean. Zhou Shuilian cleaned it every day so that they could stay as soon as they came back.

"The quilt has been dry for two days, and the bed sheets and quilt covers have been replaced today." Zhou Shuilian shouted in the yard.

"It's better to be at home, everything is ready-made." Mu Xiu sighed.

"You little ungrateful, you think I'm not serving you in the county town." Mu Xiaoshu pinched his waist and looked at Mu Xiu.

"My sister has made the most contribution. I mean, don't look at it in the county town, you are not as comfortable as you live in the countryside." Mu Xiu explained with a smile.

"That's true. In the county town, you have to go out to buy some vegetables. You can't go at home. You can pick a handful of vegetables in the yard and make a plate of vegetables." Mu Xiaoshu was moved.

"Grandma, grandma, we can still burn the kang in the house. It's so warm when we enter. At school and in the county town, it's cold when we do our homework at night. Sometimes, we have to wash and warm it with hot water to get a good pen." After Mu Chunfeng came back, he took off his big cotton jacket and put on only a small thin jacket.

"Yes, I slept until midnight at night, and the quilt was cold." Mu Xiu said pitifully.

"I'm really suffering. Then I'd better stay at home. I won't go to the city." Zhou Shuilian has been used to the days of burning kangs in the past two years, and it's warm and even the problems of headaches and fever in previous years have been cured a lot.

This time, Mu Xiu still brought the least luggage. Mu Xiaoshu and Mu Chunfeng brought a lot of things. After packing up, several people got up early in the morning, and at this time, they all looked tired.

"You all sleep for a while." Zhou Shuilian said with heartache.

"I'm so dirty all over my body. I'd better take a shower and go to bed early at night." Mu Xiaoshu didn't wash his hair for three days. It was too inconvenient to take a bath in the county town.

"Yes, boil water and take a shower." After Mu Xiu came back, the room was warm. With a slight movement, he could sweat a little. At this moment, he felt itchy all over his body.

"Okay, I'll go and boil water, come one by one." Zhou Shuilian took the wooden bucket to collect the water, Mu Xiu put on her clothes, followed her to burn the fire, Mu Xiaoshu went into the shower and washed all the basins inside.

Soon, a large iron pot was set up in the kitchen for cooking bath water and started to boil.
