Ningxia handed the chives in her hand to Mu Yuanqing, "I just picked them. Don't you have mutton at home? Mix them with the chives and make some mutton dumplings for Qingtian. They'll warm him up."

Liu Qingtian was about to turn one year old, and her diet was getting richer and richer. Mu Yuanqing also took good care of her and let her eat a little of everything. The little girl was like a greedy cat, looking for food in the house every day, and wanted to take a bite of everything she saw.

After taking the medicine and saying goodbye to the family of three, Ningxia put on his cloak again and returned to the biting cold wind.

"Is the mutton thawed?" Ningxia asked Lin Yi as soon as she got home.

Now the outdoors is a natural freezer. A piece of meat at room temperature is frozen in an hour. The mutton, a dozen fish, and a few rabbits on the beams at home are all hidden in the clean snow in the yard. When we need to eat, we just go and find them. It's very convenient.

Lin Yi nodded, "It's soaking in warm water! It should be almost done."

"Okay! Call those two out, let's make dumplings in the living room instead of curling up in the bedroom all day long."

Lin Yi nodded.

"Xia Xia, what are we going to eat this afternoon?" Sangsang came out holding Xiao Jie's hand.

Seeing Ningxia's gaze sweeping over, Xiaojie broke free from the soft little hand on the back of his hand. Sangsang was puzzled and looked up at him. After hesitating for a moment, she obediently took her hand back.

Ningxia saw it and frowned secretly. Why were they all so sensitive? Xiaojie and Lin Yi were even more sensitive than when they first came to her.

Why don't you just talk things out? She didn't say anything, so why make her act like one of those annoying parents who won't let her child play with others?

Ningxia was chopping mutton with a bang, and a fire barrel was moved to the kitchen. The fire in the stove was quite strong, so the small kitchen was quite warm.

"The dough should be almost ready by now. Do you know how to roll it out?" Ningxia said without even raising her head.

Xiao Jie nodded quickly, then realized that the other party was not looking at him and spoke again, "Yes." His voice was extremely obscure.

"Okay, then you teach Lin Yi how to roll the dough, and I'll mix the filling and we'll wrap it together."

"What about me, Xia Xia?" Sangsang was a little excited as it had been a long time since they had done something together in such a lively atmosphere.

Ningxia pointed to the small basin on the stove and said, "Here, wash the leeks and green onions for me. After washing, use the warm water to wash the ginger and garlic as well."

Although Sangsang is slow in doing anything, she is very meticulous in her work. She always washes the vegetables cleanly. She is happy to wash them and will start as soon as she is called. Ningxia is very pleased.

Sangsang nodded, "Okay!"

She was wearing too many clothes, so Xiaojie squatted down and gently rolled up her sleeves before getting up to roll out the noodles.

The kitchen was bustling with activity. Ningxia cracked two eggs into a large bowl of prepared filling. She was generous with the ingredients, and the filling smelled tempting before it even entered the skin.

"Watch, like this, and like this again, just pinch and it's done!" Ningxia picked up the rolled dough, scooped the filling on it and demonstrated carefully.

Xiaojie and Lin Yi both said they understood. After trying a few, they were able to make ugly dumplings that would not fall apart when put into the pot. They were completely different from the cute, plump dumplings made in Ningxia that looked like gold ingots.

Sangsang, however, just couldn't learn it no matter what. Fortunately, she was sensible and didn't disturb the adults and delay the meal. After listening to Ningxia's request and turning on the light bulb in the kitchen, she sat in front of the stove with a dough and played happily.

"You can eat as much as you want in a while. I've asked your uncle Mu, and he's sure it's okay to eat. The weather is too cold, and eating some mutton will warm you up."

Ningxia made dumplings one after another every few seconds, like a dumpling-making machine, without interrupting her conversation.

Hearing her voice, Xiao Jie came out of his concentrated state, "Huh? Oh... Thank you, Sister Xia."

"I know what's at home. Just tell me what you want to eat. I can make it for you. You see, you're getting thinner and thinner as you recover from your illness. Liu Wenjie...be happier."

Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he forced a smile, "Okay."

By the time the dumplings came out of the pot, it was already past seven in the evening. Everyone was starving, so they just buried their heads in their food, ignoring each other. Lin Yi had finished most of the thirty dumplings in an instant.

"I told you to eat some vegetables. If you only eat dumplings again, you can't eat anymore." Ningxia threatened viciously after Sangsang didn't eat any of the cabbage in his bowl even after he said it several times.

"Oh~" Sangsang responded and slowly picked up a small leaf and put it into his mouth.

"Don't eat anymore. There are still a lot of frozen dumplings in the yard! We'll eat them tomorrow!" Ningxia saw Lin Yi get up and wanted to cook more, so she quickly pulled him back. Thirty big dumplings! It was late at night, and she was really worried that he would get too full.

Lin Yi stepped back and said, "Okay." He picked up another large bowl of vegetarian cabbage, sat down and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ningxia was ashamed and ignored him.

Xiao Jie was stunned. He was a little full after eating thirty dumplings, but Lin Yi...

Several people were lined up on the sofa, all with round bellies and unwilling to move.

"Here, drink it."

Xiaojie took the medicine Ningxia handed over, and didn't ask why he suddenly wanted to take the medicine. He drank it obediently.

After taking two doses of medicine, and with Lin Yi accompanying Xiao Jie to sleep, he was finally able to sleep steadily for four hours, and occasionally even sleep through the night. Ning Xia, who had been observing him silently, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That day, Ningxia planned to make a spicy fish stew, and Xiaojie had no more food restrictions. As she went to dig out the fish in the yard, she noticed movement behind the snow. Without saying anything, she turned around, grabbed her gun, and quietly returned.

I was caught off guard and met a pair of round eyes, "Monkey Xiaopeng!"

"Chirp." Monkey Xiaopeng's body was covered with water droplets, and Ningxia only then realized that he had grown a lot.

"How did you get in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure jumped down from the high wall of the yard. It was Monkey Boy.

Ningxia was speechless, "How did you two find this place?"

The two little monkeys sat in a row, looking up at her, obviously unable to give her an answer.

Monkey Xiaopeng was holding a 'stolen fish' in his hand. "At such a young age, he has already learned to steal fish!"

Ningxia looked at the two cubs that looked a little thin. It seemed that they were not having a good winter.

"Monkey Xiaopeng! Xiaopeng! You come to play with me!" Sangsang shouted excitedly through the doorway.

"Go back! Put on your clothes before coming out!"

The three adults and one child surrounded the two monkeys and looked at each other in confusion.

"What should I do, Sister Xia Xia?" Lin Yi looked at Hou Xiaopeng who was holding his clothes.

Ningxia is in a headache. The two little ones look so pitiful and they have some relationship. What can she do?

"Take it back to the house first."

As soon as they entered the house, a warm breath hit them in the face. Several humans still needed to wear cotton jackets to keep warm, but for the two monkeys it was indeed as warm as spring.

"You three, watch out and don't let them get on the sofa!" Ningxia went to the kitchen after giving the instructions. She hadn't made the spicy stewed fish yet, and the whole family was waiting to eat!

Looking at the plate of coarse grain steamed bread in the cupboard, made by Lin Yi, the boy was reluctant to put fine grains in it. The appetites of the family members have been spoiled recently, so it has been left there without anyone eating it.

The voices of three children rang out from the living room, accompanied by a few chirping calls. Ningxia sighed softly, but finally relented and started steaming the steamed bread. But don't rely on her family; she can't afford it.
