Chapter 455: Galloping

At this time, Han Ying and Lu Yuan were also eating supper in the space.

Spicy crayfish, seafood platter, various grilled skewers, and a few bottles of beer per person, it's a great meal.

They are usually busy with space matters, so the two of them haven't had a drink for a while.

When eating, either drink soup or other beverages.

After finishing his midnight snack, Lu Yuan took out the large meteorite that he had placed in the space basement at night.

After taking it out, the meteorite began to slowly dissipate, and then the two came to the foot of the mountain.

There was still a winding stream across the meadow, and nothing had changed except that the fog had retreated a little.

Climbing up the mountain, a pool of water has now appeared in the place that was previously covered by thick fog.

The water from the stream at the foot of the mountain flows down from this pool.

The pool doesn't look big, with a diameter of only about 5 meters, but it seems quite deep.

Drops of water splashed down from the top of the pool, and Han Ying guessed that it must be a waterfall.

But now the location of the waterfall is shrouded in thick fog.

Sure enough, what the two guessed was correct. The small meteorite could only make the thick fog retreat, but if anything else different was to appear, they could only rely on the large meteorite.

In other words, if you want the waterfall to appear, you need another big meteorite.

After coming down from the mountain, the two men released the two horses that were kept in the livestock pen onto the grass at the foot of the mountain.

The mare has been pregnant for seven or eight months and will give birth in another three or four months.

So if the two of them want to ride a horse now, they can only ride that stallion.

Putting on the double saddle that Lu Yuan made himself, the two of them mounted the horse one after another.

The grassland surrounding the mountain is very large, with at least twenty acres of it temporarily exposed.

There are more than 20 acres of grassland, so you can relax even if you want to gallop on horseback.

These two horses are indeed Kozin's favorites. Although he doesn't know their specific breeds, they run really fast.

When it was running wildly, Lu Yuan roughly measured it and found that its speed could reach 60 kilometers per hour.

This speed is already very fast among horses, after all, he almost died before.

After running the horses for a while, I let the two horses play on the grass by themselves.

Then the two of them took a shower and took the dog out of the space.

After I came out, the room was not too cold, so I heated the kang and put up two sets of radiators.

The temperature is measured daily and today it is -53.6 degrees.

At this temperature, everyone's houses are as cold as ice cellars. Except for those who have to go out to earn points, no one wants to step out of the door.

Many people were shivering from the cold even while warming themselves by the fire.

As long as there is one side of the body that is not heated, the cold air will continue to penetrate into the bones from that side.

Even if you lie on the kang, the side that is not touching the kang is still cold.

So even when sleeping on the kang, everyone has to wear a scarf or hat.

However, Han Ying and her family didn't have to do so, because in addition to the kang, they also installed a radiator.

Even when I go out, the radiator is always on.

The temperature in the room is generally maintained at around 10 degrees.

Lu Yuan added two more pieces of firewood into the stove, and then the two of them got on the kang and hid under the quilt.

Han Ying was checking her phone as usual before going to bed, and it was only then that she saw the messages from Wu Tingfang and Lin Ting.

I knew there was a bag of dumplings hanging outside the door, but I had already gotten on the kang and didn't want to get off.

The weather is so cold that the dumplings hanging outside have already become hard and there is no need to worry about them going bad.

Just wait until tomorrow morning when you go out to shovel snow and bring it in.

When I woke up and opened the curtains, it was all white outside. I could vaguely see someone shoveling snow in front of their yard.

It should be the person assigned by Lei Gang. I didn't expect he came so early.

You can't look at this kind of white snow for too long, or you will get snow blindness.

Without looking outside, the two took the dog into the space to wash up, after all, it was too cold outside.

After washing up and having breakfast, I got dressed and planned to go upstairs to shovel the snow off the roof.

I opened the door and saw a bag on it containing two boxes.

There were about thirty dumplings in each box. Knowing that they were given by the two families downstairs, Han Ying put them directly into the space and cooked them another day.

Han Ying and Lu Yuan placed plant pots on the stairs on every floor of the building, leaving only space for walking up and down the stairs.

Some of these planting pots are planted with corn, some with potatoes and sweet potatoes.

They are growing well. We water them with nutrient solution every 5 days and they can be harvested in about two months.

Carefully avoid the plant pots and go to the 5th floor.

Han Ying first collected the snow that had fallen on the plastic film on the ground into the space symbol, and then the two of them climbed up the ladder.

A large patch of snow near the skylight, along with the plastic film that was underneath it, disappeared.

After re-laying a piece of plastic film, the two men began to use tools to push the snow off the roof downwards.

The snow was so heavy that we basically had to clean it up twice a day, otherwise it would be too thick to clean up.

After clearing the snow upstairs, I went downstairs and helped everyone clean the snow in the yard.

At noon, Han Ying wrote a lot of couplets and "Fu" characters, and gave two pairs of couplets and two "Fu" characters to each of the two families.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan also pasted the couplets and the word "Fu" written by Han Ying on every remaining floor.

Today is New Year's Eve, so at around 4 pm, everyone gathered on the kang at Lei Minghu's house on the second floor to make dumplings.

Han Ying and Lu Yuan took out seven or eight dishes that had been prepared long ago from the space. Except for a pumpkin pie, they were basically all meat dishes. They put them in an insulated box and carried them down.

The weather was too cold, so Qin Qinghai took off the bedding on their kang.

Put a layer of plastic wrap on it and then put the prepared dishes on it so that they won’t cool down so quickly.

There were more than a dozen dishes, with each family contributing some. Han Ying also contributed two bottles of white wine, two bottles of red wine and a pitcher of milk tea she made herself.

“May this day come true every year!”

“May the coming year be better than the last!”

....

Everyone picked up their cups, clinked them together, and said an auspicious word.

These words were really just auspicious words before the end of the world, but in these end times they are everyone's expectations for the future.

When everyone raised their heads to drink wine and milk tea, there was a bang in the distance, and a brilliant firework exploded in the sky.

Then one sound after another.

When everyone heard the sound, they knew that the government was setting off fireworks.

Every year on New Year’s Eve, the government will set off one or two fireworks.

It was on this day, watching the fireworks exploding in the sky, that everyone briefly forgot that they were living in the end times.

Everyone was satisfied with the meal. Qin Qinghai was a little drunk, so Lin Ting helped him go in to rest.

The few of them chatted for a while and then soon dispersed.

As for the venue, we agreed to clean it up together tomorrow, and then everyone went home.

Everyone drank some wine tonight, to warm themselves up and indulge themselves a little.

The new year arrived after midnight, and the entire Penglai base was basically silent except for the patrol personnel.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Tangyuan, who was sleeping on the other end of the kang, suddenly stood up.
