Then, Tang Jianye carried in several more bags of potatoes, white radishes, and green radishes. There were also three bags of rice and flour. Lai Xiang was stunned by the sight.

"Sister Lai, let's cook. We're both starving." Just then, Tang Jianye came in carrying half a carcass of pork. "Yes, Xiao Yueyue, how about we have dumplings? I haven't had dumplings in ages."

"Okay, you two take a break, I'll start making dumplings now."

Lai Xiang didn't ask where these things came from. She just remembered Yueyue's kindness. Now she had learned many skills, and although her dumplings weren't as delicious as Lin Cuicui's, Tang Yue still ate quite a few. It was completely dark outside, and everything was quiet.

"Sister Lai, let's go to the cowshed."

Lai Xiang carried out a large black earthenware basin filled with dumplings, saying, "Let's go."

"Sister Lai, are you not in any danger here?"

Lai Xiang laughed, "No, no one can climb up this two-meter-high ice wall. Two educated youths did come and cause trouble, but the brigade leader dismissed them."

The captain had someone make this door for me; I traded it for flour. It's really sturdy. As long as I don't open it, no one can get in.

Tang Yue was relieved.

Once in the car, Lai Xiang noticed there was still a lot of rice and flour on the passenger seat and in the back. "Yueyue, I..."

Tang Yue waved her hand dismissively, "Sister Lai, don't be so polite with me. I really don't need any of these things, so please feel free to use them."

Lai Xiang could only accept it with a smile. "Yueyue, the waterproof membrane you used for my parents is really great. Now they've even laid one on the floor. It's especially warm inside when the sun is out during the day."

"We thought we wouldn't make it through this winter, but with you around, their lives have become so much more comfortable."

"Is Auntie feeling better?"

Lai Xiang sounded a little sad when this was mentioned, "No, she's fine. She'll definitely be alright this time."

The group quickly arrived outside the cowshed. Tang Jianye didn't turn on the headlights. The cowshed was on a slope, and they couldn't drive up, so they had to park below.

Now, only Lai Xiang's parents, Old Ke, and Old Xu live in the cowshed. The four of them get along very well.

Hearing a car outside, the group remained silent inside. Lai Xiang walked to the door and gently knocked. "Mom and Dad, it's me!"
