Chapter 371 New Year's Eve



"Hey, why are you still here?" When Ningxia went to brush her teeth and wash her face, Ren Jingxiao went to the kitchen to cook noodles and was stunned when he saw Lu Hai standing beside her.

"Yeah, why am I still here? My legs are really stupid." When Lu Hai saw Ren Jingxiao like this, he knew that he should leave. If he stayed any longer, he would be annoying.

"I seemed to hear someone talking just now." Ningxia came out and looked around. She thought that it was impossible for anyone to come to their house so early in the morning.

"Lu Hai just came and he has left." Ren Jingxiao brought the cooked noodles into the house, then helped Ningxia into the house.

As for Lu Hai who just walked to the door, that is not important.

After breakfast, they went out to see a movie together. On the way back, snowflakes started falling from the sky again.

"Are you cold? Let me carry you. This way we can get home faster." Ren Jingxiao was afraid that it would snow heavily soon, so he discussed with Ningxia while looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"The snow isn't heavy. Look, the people around us aren't in a hurry at all." Ningxia looked at the people around her who were walking slowly.

"Then let's walk faster. If it snows heavily soon, I'll carry you back." Ren Jingxiao looked at Ningxia and nodded in agreement.

"Do you have the feeling that we will grow old together?" Ningxia looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, caught them with her hands, and turned to look at Ren Jingxiao with a smile.

"Yeah, we'll grow old together." Ren Jingxiao didn't understand at first, but when he saw the snowflakes in her hand, he slowly understood what she meant.

The doting in Ren Jingxiao's smile is like the falling snow. It seems cold at the moment of falling, but when you look at it again, it is romantic and subtle.

The two of them walked home step by step in the snow. When they arrived at the door, their hair had turned snow-white and they smiled at each other.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. They had received a lot of packages in the past two days. The postman came to their house every few days and said, "Comrade, there's another package for you."

A familiar voice came into the yard, and Ningxia opened the door habitually. Ren Jingxiao walked over and took several packages from the back of the man's car in.

"This time they are all from Beijing. They must be sent by my grandparents and dad." Ningxia looked at the words above and could probably guess who it was.

Because they had too many things to do during this period, they didn't have time to prepare anything to send back. Ningxia originally planned to wait until after the Chinese New Year to send some things to her godmother and grandparents.

She didn't have time to prepare, but her grandfather and the others were always thinking about it. They did nothing but receive packages for the past two days.

Most of the things sent from home were children's clothes, blankets, etc.

Their grandparents also gave them red envelopes, saying that they couldn't spend the New Year together and this was New Year's money given to them in advance.

Dad's development in Beijing was going quite well, and he even gave them a passbook.

It was said that it was for the two grandsons, and that he would save a sum of money for them every year, which he would keep as dowries or for them to marry when they grew up.

Ningxia was slightly shocked when she saw the number on the passbook. Dad was really willing to spend so much money, and the two little ones in her belly were so happy.

"Let's keep what Dad gave us." Ren Jingxiao packed up the things and read the contents of the letter. He no longer had the thought of returning it, as his father would definitely be angry if he did.

He thought that he would earn more money in the future and would give it to his father if he needed it. Similarly, they no longer refused what their father gave them.

Ren Jingxiao has now become more open-minded and instead comforts her.

"I won't return it. This is a gift from their grandfather." Ningxia touched her belly. She knew that her father and others wouldn't be able to make it in time for the birth of the baby after the New Year. This must be an attempt to make up for something!

If they go back, it means pushing the Shen family away, and the family will always feel resentful.

After they packed up their things, Ningxia pulled Ren Jingxiao into the kitchen. Today was New Year's Eve, and they had to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Even though there were only two of them, they had to celebrate the New Year well.

New Year's Eve is a time for families to reunite, and it was rare that no one came to disturb them all day. Ren Jingxiao and Ningxia stayed at home and prepared delicious food.

Because life has been hard this year, there isn't much delicious food at home, but it's the New Year, so every household is bringing out their best to celebrate.

The aroma of food coming from all around was so strong that it was hard to tell which restaurant it came from. Under such a rare cover, Ningxia let go and made delicious food.

"Let's take advantage of this time to do more. I want to make more soup and snacks so that I can eat them during my confinement period." During this period, Ningxia always made a little extra soup and put it in the space.

However, everyone's life was difficult, and she couldn't attract too much attention, so she only stewed food once or twice a month. Besides, the pot was only so big, so no matter how much she stewed, it wouldn't be much more.

In this way, everyone around knew that their family always had good food. Although they were jealous, they could only say that the man was capable, and with the tigers at home, no one dared to cause trouble for them.

"Wait a few days, I'll go catch some pheasants and put them in the space." Ren Jingxiao agreed with Ningxia's plan. His cooking skills were really not good enough.

He thought of the pheasants and small prey such as rabbits raised in the space, which were probably enough for the cannons to eat.

He thought about catching some more, and also the meat, even though Xia Xia said it was enough, that even if they didn't do anything for a year, the meat would be enough for them to eat. But he was afraid of accidents, so it was better to be prepared.

Thinking of Xia Xia's suggestion that pig's trotters and soybeans increase milk production, pig's trotters were an easy sell, but he hadn't planted soybeans last year. He had already traded the little he'd been given by the brigade for tofu, so he'd harvest some next time he went to the countryside.

The two of them worked like this for the whole day. Ningxia took this opportunity and did not stop cooking all day. With limited materials, Ningxia made the best use of them.

There are all kinds of soups and drinks suitable for confinement. Ningxia thinks that even if these are less than a month, half a month will be enough.

It was not until the evening that Ningxia started cooking a few dishes. The darkness of the night came with laughter and joy in every household.

There was a table full of food, and Ningxia thought there would be some leftovers, but Ren Jingxiao ate most of it and gave the rest to Dapao and his brothers.

Ren Jingxiao rarely feeds them food cooked by humans. In his words, they are wild beasts. Nature has its own rules, and they are suitable for food that is eaten raw.

If they were treated like humans, their fighting power would gradually decline, which would not be good for them.

Ningxia knows that every creature has its own rules of survival and nature is fair. She likes Cannon, but she can't pamper it too much.

It would not be a good thing for it if it only accepted cooked food like humans or adapted to human living habits.
