"Do you still need to be polite to me in our relationship?" Xu Cheng joked with a smile. Listening to her voice, he felt that all the fatigue in his body disappeared.
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Miaomiao hung up the phone.
Xu Miaomiao wrapped herself tightly again and went to the hilltop behind.
At this time, Liu Dexing was still busy picking eggs in the chicken coop. When he saw Xu Miaomiao coming over, he smiled and said hello.
"My third daughter-in-law, I can collect hundreds of eggs every day. I can't even use them all to make bread. Some chickens can actually lay two eggs a day. It's really strange."
"That's because you raised me well, Dad."
Liu Dexing straightened up, thought for a while and said, "I think the chicken food recipe you gave me must be good. Every chicken is fat."
It's not like he has never raised chickens before. The chickens at home are all very skinny and don't have much meat.
The chickens on the mountain are so fat because they eat well every day and have a place to play, so they naturally grow meat and lay eggs quickly.
"Dad, I plan to catch two old hens to make soup." Xu Miaomiao explained her purpose.
Liu Dexing was immediately overjoyed, with a bright smile on his face, "Okay, just wait, I will catch you now."
When he thought about being able to drink the chicken soup stewed by his third wife at noon, he didn't feel cold at all, as if his saliva was about to leak out.
Liu Dexing spotted two plump old hens, locked his eyes, bent down, and called out the feeding sounds in his mouth. As expected, the two stupid old hens were fooled.
Check the time, hehe.
Catch two at a time!
Liu Dexing grabbed two old hens and came to Xu Miaomiao with a smile, "My third wife, let me kill the chickens for you."
"Okay, thank you dad." Xu Miaomiao was extremely happy.
After the chicken was cooked, Xu Miaomiao put it directly into the pot to stew.
There was a stove in the kitchen and it wasn't very cold.
Xu Meng was sitting not far away and was concentrating on making cakes. She was now completely proficient, and she could basically make the patterns that Xu Miaomiao described to her.
Sometimes she can innovate on her own. Xu Miaomiao has to admit that Xu Meng is a very talented girl.
Careful yet bold, just like her character.
After Xu Miaomiao finished cooking, she planned to come over and help Xu Meng make cakes. When her eyes fell on her hands, her eyes twinkled slightly.
"Why are your hands red and swollen? Is it too cold in the room?"
It shouldn't be that cold inside the house compared to outside, shouldn't it.
The hand was red and swollen and looked a bit scary.
Xu Meng lowered his head and glanced at his hands, and said nonchalantly, "Auntie, it's not cold in the room, not at all. My hands are like this in the winter, and there are already frozen roots. When the winter passes, it will naturally
Enough."
Her hands are only red and swollen now and are fine. If the weather was like this last year, they would have been frozen to death.
When doing laundry, cooking, etc. at home, how can you not reach out?
At her aunt's house, she only had to wash her own clothes and didn't have to worry about anything else. This was the warmest winter she had ever experienced.
"Does it hurt?" Xu Miaomiao asked with a frown.
When she was in school, she had seen her classmates' hands swollen into two pig's hooves. The bulging look was a bit scary when wearing gloves, but it was even more scary after taking off the gloves, and some places had already ulcerated.
It hurts every time I touch it.
I heard that frostbite will last a lifetime once you get frostbite. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
"It doesn't hurt. There are more and more people suffering from chilblains. My grandparents' hands get much worse than mine every year. It will be over if you endure it." Xu Meng comforted.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you something." Xu Miaomiao went back to the room and bought two chilblain ointments and ice cream from the system.
She bought another small empty bottle and squeezed the chilblain ointment into it.
Xu Miaomiao came to the kitchen with something and handed it to Xu Meng, "This is for applying frostbite, and this is for applying on the face. I bought the frostbite ointment before, it should be very useful."
"Here, for me?" Xu Meng wiped his hands, took it and looked at it carefully.
She had never seen chilblain ointment before, but it sounded very high-end.
She had seen ice cream before. Many girls who loved beauty in the village had this, but she couldn't afford it because she had no money.
In fact, it was always what she wanted in her heart, but she never expected that her aunt would suddenly give her this.
"Of course it's for you. Remember to come and ask me for it after wiping it. I still have some more." Xu Miaomiao smiled.
"Thank you, auntie." Liu Meng was very happy.
If she didn't want to make a cake, she would want to try it on her hands now.
The chicken soup in the pot was simmering, and Liu Wenxin and Liu Wenjun returned from delivering the goods.
Due to the cold weather, we basically deliver once every few days, with more delivered each time.
"Wen Xin, go call your grandfather and Yuhang, and ask Yuhang to lock the door of the warehouse." Xu Miaomiao shouted and opened the lid of the pot.
"Got it." Liu Wenxin outside responded and walked towards the back door.
We ate lunch in the kitchen. The kitchen is a big place anyway, so the food would have been cold when it was brought to the main room.
This is everyone’s favorite moment. You can eat meat and vegetable meals every day, with balanced nutrition and delicious taste. In this cold winter, every day feels like a Chinese New Year.
For Xu Meng and Liu Yuhang, this kind of life is better than the Chinese New Year.
Especially when the hot chicken soup enters their mouths, their hearts will melt.
So warm and delicious.
"I don't know when they will have a holiday. It's hard to have classes at school in this weather." Xu Miaomiao was a little worried about Liu Wenshao and Liu Wenle.
There are no heaters in the classroom like at home, and it would be nice if the windows and doors don't leak.
They still have to read and write, and even with gloves and scarves, Xu Miaomiao is still worried that they will get frostbite.
"It will probably take another month." Liu Dexing was also a little worried.
It is much harder for children to go to school than to work in the fields. Working in the fields will make them less cold if they put in a little effort. Children sit in the classroom and listen to lectures, and they have to use their brains to learn.
Riding a bicycle back and forth to catch the wind is a torture.
If it rains, only those who have experienced it can understand the difficulty of walking through strong winds and heavy rain.
night.
Liu Wenshao and Liu Wenle came back timidly on their bicycles. As soon as the bicycles stopped, they rushed into the kitchen.
Hold hands around the stove to keep warm.
"Drink some chicken soup to warm yourself up." Xu Miaomiao brought two bowls of chicken soup over.
Liu Wenle touched the hot bowl with his hand, took another sip, and his whole body warmed up, "Mom, you are so kind."
He is so lucky to have such a good mother.
Xu Miaomiao touched his head and said, "Have a drink and we'll eat later. Did your teacher say when the holiday will be?"
Speaking of this, Liu Wenle immediately put down his bowl and said excitedly, "Our teacher said that the weather is too cold and we will have an early vacation in the next week."
"Yeah, that's right. Your lower-grade classes don't have to be so tight." Xu Miaomiao thought it was good, "Wen Shao, what about you?"
