Early in the morning, the north wind was howling, and heavy snow had fallen all night, covering the small place of Songshan County with a layer of white quilt. A little sunlight shone on the white snow, dyeing it with colorful lights.
The cold weather makes people in the county sleep in their beds and are reluctant to get up, but adults and children have to get up to work or go to school.
In Compound No. 14, the door opened with a creak.
A man wearing a military green coat, a Lei Feng cap on his head, and a stunning face came out. Jiang Baizhou put his hand to his mouth and exhaled a breath of hot air. He did a few random movements to stretch his body, picked up the shovel on the wall, and began to shovel a path from his doorstep to the courtyard.
Not long after, the door of the old Gu family opposite opened and Gu Siyi came out.
"Hey, Lao Jiang, you're so hardworking~"
"You too."
The two brothers greeted each other and looked at each other. The shovels in their hands seemed to change from manual to automatic, and they shoveled very quickly.
In the snow, the two childish men even competed in shoveling snow.
"Hey! Lao Jiang, you can't do it anymore!"
"It's obviously you who can't do it, I'm faster than you!"
"How can a man say fast? You idiot, you actually sped up while I was talking!"
"Haha! A noob is a noob, and you're blaming me?"
“…”
They quickened their pace while arguing. Fortunately, they did not shovel snow to the point of hindering each other, and two paths leading to the yard gate appeared.
After shoveling the snow, Jiang Baizhou put the shovel back against the wall of his house, ran out of the yard, and prepared to run along Tianwen Lane for a while.
Gu Siyi followed, looked at Lao Jiang, and said in surprise, "You haven't been sick this winter, and you can still run now?"
"Well, my wife brings me good luck." This reason has been repeated by Jiang's mother since the beginning of winter, and it has spread in Tianwen Lane. Everyone says that the sickly third son of the Jiang family married a wife who brings me good luck, and even his health has improved.
Jiang Baizhou naturally knew how his body improved. He didn't eat all those vegetables and fruits in vain. No one believed him when he told them the real reason. But the fact that he was good for health was believed by everyone in Tianwen Lane.
Gu Siyi didn't believe in the idea of bringing good luck to people. He was a doctor. "That kind of nonsense is only believed by ignorant people. I think it's because you, Old Jiang, were too picky about food before. You wouldn't eat this or that. Little Song is a good cook. I can make you more meat dishes a few times a month. If you can eat them, your body will be replenished."
Hey, Lao Gu is half right.
The pair of phoenix eyes stared at Lao Gu suspiciously for two seconds, and Jiang Baizhou responded casually: "Yeah, you are right."
The two brothers ran around Tianwen Lane for more than twenty minutes before returning to the compound.
Xiong Fazhu was making breakfast for the family. Seeing the two, he greeted them: "Good morning, are you back from exercise? You young people are in good health and have a lot of energy. You can still go out and exercise in such a cold day."
Gu Siyi: "Good morning, Aunt Li, it would be terrible if a young person is in poor health."
Jiang Baizhou: "Good morning, I'm going back first."
After a brief greeting, the two brothers went back to their rooms.
Walking through the main hall and into the inner room on the left, someone was lying on the burning kang. He was awake, but was reluctant to get up because he was still craving for the warmth of the quilt.
Jiang Baizhou was about to wake someone up, but he thought his wife, whose little face was flushed by the heat, was very cute. He wanted to kiss her, so he lowered his head and kissed her.
Song Jiayu covered her mouth and hummed, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
Jiang Baizhou had no choice but to kiss his wife's forehead and said warmly, "It's time to get up. You still have to go to work at the hotel today."
"I regret it. I shouldn't have participated in the competition. Getting up early every morning is almost killing me." Song Jiayu buried herself in the quilt and rubbed her head against the pillow twice.
Jiang Baizhou pulled the man out of the bed and said, "Getting up early won't kill you. Now that we're in, let's work hard."
Without the warmth of the bed, Song Jiayu acted playful, blinking her eyes and holding her heart. "You didn't actually stand by me this time. Don't you love me anymore? We've only been married for less than a year. Love will fade, right?"
The naughty guy had to get up obediently after being hit on the forehead by Jiang Baizhou.
For breakfast today, I plan to make some noodle dumpling soup.
Some people were making the fire and some were kneading the dough. Dough balls were put into the pot of boiling water. To make it taste better, two eggs were beaten, and fresh cabbage leaves, salt and other seasonings were added. Finally, two large bowls were filled.
Sitting together at the dining table in the main hall, Song Jiayu first scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon and drank it. The hot soup immediately warmed her stomach from her mouth. Then she took a bite of the chewy noodle dumplings, which had a pure wheat aroma and the salty taste of the soup. The cooked cabbage absorbed the soup very well, and the egg added flavor to the noodle dumpling soup.
"It's such a delicious meal~" Song Jiayu burped with satisfaction.
As it was almost time to go to work, this time it was not Song Jiayu who stayed at home to give Jiang Baizhou a kiss before going out, but the couple left the house together.
Jiang Baizhou was riding a bicycle, and Song Jiayu was sitting on the back seat. She put one hand around Jiang Baizhou's waist and touched it. She felt something different. Her eyes curved and she teased him, "Brother Baizhou, did you develop these abdominal muscles for me?"
Someone on a bicycle grabbed the mischievous little hand and snorted coldly: "What do you think? Who is it that keeps telling me to have a good figure every day?"
"Hehehe, thank you Brother Bai Zhou~ Love you~"
Song Jiayu really loves handsome young men with good figures. Who doesn't love such a man? She is a loyal fan of every Olympic swimming competition.
"Song! Jia! Yu!"
"fall!"
"I'm going to kill you sooner or later!"
"Looking forward to it~"
“…”
The bicycle stopped in front of the state-owned hotel. The young couple said goodbye and Jiang Baizhou rode the bicycle to the steel plant.
[Complete the mission of riding a bicycle with Jiang Baizhou and successfully check in with Jiang Baizhou to receive a Wood Energy Leaf as a reward.]
Another leaf was obtained. The tall and thin wood-type supernatural tree also gained a leaf every day, and its crown finally became dense. There were still one hundred and fifty to sixty days left for the third-level wood-type supernatural power. At this time, a leaf only increased by 0.5%, and it took time to accumulate.
Song Jiayu hasn't paid attention to the progress of her wood-related abilities for a long time. She is now focusing on her cooking skills. She has been working in the kitchen for five days and has already clocked in with Chef Xu and received two one-week Shandong cuisine learning cards. Today, there is another task related to Chef Xu, and she walked into the kitchen with a little excitement.
"Chef Xu, Xiao Liu, Dafeng, Auntie Pang, Sister Fen, good morning everyone!"
"Good morning, I really am missing something today." said Aunt Fat.
"All that's missing is Xiao Song's words." Sister Fen continued.
"Chef Xu hasn't arrived yet. We only have these dishes today. What should we cook?" Xiao Liu asked.
"In winter, the vegetables provided by the purchasing department are getting worse and worse." Dafeng sighed.
Everyone's eyes fell on the pile of wilted dishes on the large table in the kitchen.
Song Jiayu couldn't say yes against her conscience.
