"Shishi, Chou Chou, Xiao Shi, come down quickly, we need to go to the post office to call Dad."
Regarding the case of the former director of a committee in City B, it's uncertain whether any information has been uncovered behind the scenes. Since we've learned the truth here, we must report it.
Upon hearing that he wanted to make a phone call, Yu Tingshan quickly said, "Comrade Xie, how about I take you to the factory to make the call?"
"Since you've come all this way, please have a simple meal at my house. You saved my life, and I haven't repaid you yet."
Yu Hui directly helped Zhang Tong untie the baby from her arms. She had thought that if one person stayed, then they would all stay.
Zhang Tong clearly sensed her intention and went along with her wishes.
The girl's selfless act of turning her own family away touched her heart. As long as she lets go of the past and strives to live a good life, the future will not be bad.
Seeing Zhang Tong cooperating with her, Yu Hui was even happier.
"Comrade Xie, I know you said it was just a small favor, but it's a huge kindness to us. We don't have anything good to offer, so please don't refuse our simple meal."
He poured three bowls of hot water and added malted milk powder, giving one bowl to Zhang Tong, one to Xie Lin, and one to Yu Tingshan.
I made another small bowl for Nannan, and then went to greet the others in the tree.
"Comrade Zhou, Chou Chou, Xiao Shi, come quickly! I made glutinous rice strips, they've just been in the pot and they're very crispy. Come and eat!"
Upon hearing that there was food, the three mushrooms finally set aside their status and came in, bringing with them a chill.
Yu Hui helped sweep the snow off them and then made three bowls of malted milk powder, saying, "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
I put the glutinous rice strips on the table for the guests to eat themselves, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.
In winter, every household prepares vegetables, cured meat, dried vegetables, eggs, and dried seafood every day.
Both father and daughter need to take care of their health, so they prepare more supplies than other families.
Worried that his cooking wasn't good enough, he went next door and asked Aunt Qiu to come and help.
Upon hearing that she was the Yu family's savior, Aunt Qiu used her best skills to cook several delicious dishes, authentic local cuisine, with perfect color, aroma, and taste.
Yu Hui admitted her inferiority and, as she saw the old woman off, she asked with a sly smile, "Aunt Qiu, could I learn a few tricks from you sometime?"
She and her father are both too thin; they need to eat something good to make up for the years of deprivation.
Having endured six years of hardship and witnessed life and death on the farm, she deeply realized that good health is the foundation of everything.
Money is just an external thing; you can earn more after you spend it all. But if your health is ruined, no amount of money will help.
Aunt Qiu smiled and said, "Of course you can. Come find me whenever you have time, and I'll definitely teach you all the skills in the kitchen. Alright, I'll go back now. You go and entertain the guests."
Just then, the two people who had gone out to make a phone call returned. Yu Hui stuffed a small piece of cured meat into Aunt Qiu's hand, thanked her, and welcomed the two into the house.
She understands the ins and outs of social interactions.
If you keep making demands, even the best relationships will become strained. It's just her and her father at home, and it's hard to say when they might need a helping hand from their neighbors. Maintaining good neighborly relations is essential.
Aunt Qiu sighed, "The little girl has really grown up. Without that troublemaker surnamed Peng, the Yu family will only get better and better."
After eating and drinking her fill, Shishi wanted to build a snowman.
Yes, there's enough snow under the tree.
Yu Hui had built snowmen when she was a child. She knew the ropes well, so she grabbed a shovel and a bucket and led a large group of people, both visible and invisible, downstairs to play in the snow.
"Hey, can I put snow in my space?" Shishi wanted to build lots of snowmen and put them in her space to guard her.
Xie Lin shook his head, "I've tried it, it doesn't work, it melts as soon as it's put in."
The space is perpetually spring-like with a high temperature, making it unsuitable for storing things that solidify at low temperatures.
A warehouse would be fine, but it's full of grain; you can't let the children play in it.
"If you want to store it, you can make a few small warehouses, but you can't take them out."
Shishi was a little disappointed, muttered "damned space" and went to shovel snow.
Xie Lin: ...Last night I said that it would be best if the space was neither too hot nor too cold.
*Snap*
While I was lost in thought, a snowball hit me squarely in the face.
"Hahaha, you stinky egg, I hit you."
Shishi unilaterally declared war.
Then the melee began. Shishi, Chou Chou, Xiao Shi, and a whole bunch of kids who hadn't shown up yet ganged up on the patriarch from all directions, front, back, left, right, and above.
A giant snowball, an enormous snowball...
Two fists can't beat several hands.
Poor patriarch, he's already "riddled with holes" in just a short while.
Yu Hui didn't join the fray; instead, she built a snowman on the sidelines, watching them play with a smile as she did so.
The little girl sat on a small stool leaning against a tree, her tiny feet, clad in tiger-head shoes, kicking at the snowflakes.
Suddenly, he grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth.
It looks delicious.
Hiss~
It's so cool.
It turns out that cold feet are different from cold mouth.
Pfft pfft~
Zhang Tong was startled and quickly wiped the snow from her mouth.
You brat, she just turned around to shovel snow, how did she suddenly become greedy?
"Darling, did you throw it all up?"
"I vomit, it's cold." Nannan said, feeling wronged. Her little face scrunched up like a bun, and her lips turned a little pale.
You do know it's cold.
"Sit down, no more eating."
Zhang Tong quickly grabbed the baby bottle and asked Xie Lin for a small cup of hot ginger tea for her.
I didn't dare let her play in the snow anymore, so I picked her up and took her back to the Yu family home to change her socks.
Fortunately, he had brought a cloth bag, which made it easy for Xie Lin to put the items he needed into the bag.
After changing her socks, I took her to sit in front of the Yu family's house and watch the people below make a scene.
With her instructions, the snow battle didn't last long, ending with the patriarch getting his coat soaked.
Yu Hui built a large snowman, with a small bucket as its hat and a twig as its nose, which was so lifelike that it deeply attracted the group of people who were seeing a real snowman for the first time.
