He Xiaobei burst out laughing after hearing this:

"It's truly thoughtful of our mom to still be thinking of us at this time. It's just that Professor Han is a little ridiculous. During extremely hot weather, the temperature outside can approach 60 degrees Celsius. Water on the ground will slowly evaporate, and the groundwater level will drop rapidly. At that time, even drinking water would be a challenge for those still alive, let alone those outside the base. He actually suggested using ice to lower body temperatures. At that time, only a few people in the base could afford ice, unless they were truly high-ranking officials. What an unrealistic guy."

After cooking noodles for a few days, He Xiaobei started to make dumplings and wontons with various fillings. He would cook them while making them. When he was hungry, he would just scoop some out and eat them, saving the trouble of choosing meals in the space.

The days of one person and one cat were spent in the aroma of food lingering in the house every day, and time soon came to the Waking of Insects.

Customs across the country are generally the same with only slight differences. According to the custom in the area where she lives, families usually eat pears on the day of Jingzhe. It is said that eating pears on Jingzhe will keep insects and snakes away.

Although this sentence does not mean what it seems, the pear symbolizes "separation", which means that the person hopes that pests will stay away from his crops to ensure a good harvest this year.

But He Xiaobei didn't care. She was really afraid of insects. She thought it would be great if this sentence only had the superficial meaning. She could just eat a pear and keep those hateful creatures away from her.

Peel the snow pear, hollow it out from the bottom and remove the core. Add spices, rock sugar, and lemon leaves to the pot. Pour water into the pot and cook it over high heat until the aroma of the spices is thoroughly cooked. Then put the pears in and cook them together for about fifteen minutes. Take the pears out of the pot and put them in ice water to cool. This will make the pears more crisp and sweet. Of course, He Xiaobei used his supernatural powers to complete this step.

For her, snow pear and mint are like pearls and milk tea, which is a perfect match. Put the pear ice in a bowl, peel some lemon on it, add a little honey, and finally put some mint. It can not only refresh, moisten the lungs, and reduce noise, but also serve as a decoration. This can be regarded as our own dessert in Longguo.

Just as she was lying in the rocking chair, enjoying her own cooking, the satellite phone in the living room rang.

He Xiaobei's eyes, which were narrowed in enjoyment, opened instantly, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Only Qi Yang would make this call, and Qi Yang is not a annoying person. He called her at this time, so she thought there was a high probability that there was news about the sniper rifle.

Thinking of this, she happily stood up from the rocking chair, tiptoed to the phone, and even cleared her throat pretentiously before answering the phone:

"Ahem, hey."

Hearing her voice, Qi Yang on the other end of the phone also spoke in a very cheerful tone, making people feel that he was in a very happy mood:

"Xiaobei, are you home now?"

"Yeah, I'm at home."

"Can I come see you today?"

He Xiaobei understood what was going on after hearing this. Since they had shown their goodwill, he couldn't be stingy.

"Well, you're in for a treat. Today is the Waking of Insects. I just cooked some pears and am also preparing to make dumplings. When will you come?"

After Qi Yang heard her finish, his laughter turned in his throat:

"Haha, then you can wait for me to make dumplings together. If I go there now, I'll be there in about an hour and a half."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home."

He Xiaobei's voice was so sweet today that it was sickening. After the two of them made an appointment, they hung up the phone.

Looking at the hung up phone in her hand, she raised her eyebrows:

"Tsk tsk, you're quite arrogant. You don't even say a word about serious matters. It seems like you're planning a surprise for me."

Then he put down the phone and started to clean the house, clearing away things that shouldn't be there, and opened the windows to let the smell out of the room.

She had been staying in the house and didn't notice it before, but after she opened the balcony window and breathed in some fresh air, she turned back to the house and found that the smell in the house was not only strong, but also very mixed.

So she directly used her special power to clean the room thoroughly, and then found a bottle of perfume that she liked very much in the space, opened the lid and sprayed a little bit in the corner of the wall, and then placed it on the entrance with the lid open to let the smell dissipate on its own.

After finishing all these, she did not forget to choose a beautiful home outfit for herself, a silk long-sleeved nightgown, and a long pink coral fleece jacket on the outside. She tied her hair into a bun at the back of her head, and used a hairpin with a big pink bow in front to gather up the loose hair, which made her look very girlish.

Then he took out a pear that had just been cooked, and specially selected a beautiful plate, placed the pear on it and carefully arranged the dish.

After finishing all this, I continued to nestle comfortably in the recliner waiting for Qi Yang's arrival. I already began to happily imagine what my sniper rifle would look like.

More than an hour later, she sensed someone entering the building, and the corners of her mouth immediately curled up.

She stood up, opened the door, removed the ice from the corridor, opened the door to the fire escape directly, and stood there waiting for the other party to show her utmost sincerity.

Before long, a figure entered her sight. The person, with her lustrous black hair neatly tied up and a gorgeous fur coat draped around her, stood out. It was Qi Yang.

Qi Yang always seemed to exude an elusive aura, as if he never played by the rules. However, it was undeniable that his face was extremely charming, full of evil charm and temptation, making people want to take a few more glances.

When she saw clearly what the two men were carrying, she felt that they were truly her sweet little darlings. She even felt that even if she had other men in the future, Qi Yang would definitely be the strongest in this field.

Because not only Qi Yang was holding a big box, but A Long behind him was also holding two long boxes.

Yes, there are two. He Xiaobei tried his best to control the corners of his mouth that were almost stretched to his ears, so that his smile would not be so exaggerated.

She walked forward and took Qi Yang's coat. In a good mood, she didn't even blame A-long for being too talkative before, and greeted him happily:

"Along is here too. Come in and sit down. I'll get you a pear."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the side bedroom, and smuggled out a cooked pear, but he didn't put it on a plate. He just threw it casually in a bowl and took it out.

She doesn't have time to do these unnecessary things now, her two babies are still outside.

Aaron looked at the bowl handed over by He Xiaobei, reached out to take it and took a look, then turned his head to look at the exquisite plate of his boss. Although it did not look as exquisite as his boss's, it was a pear after all, and fruits were so expensive in the apocalypse.
