Ningxia felt a surge of guilt for no reason. She didn't look at her and asked, "What are you sorry for?"
Sangsang pursed her lips. "Aunt Qing has already told me, I understand... Brother Xiaojie and I are still very young, and we can't make decisions on our own about things like marriage... I secretly married Brother Xiaojie without your consent... This isn't right..."
Ningxia wanted to say something, but Sangsang continued, "Auntie Qing also said that I shouldn't kiss boys. I'm a girl... If I don't protect myself, I'll get hurt... I can't kiss Brother Xiaojie until I'm eighteen... Kissing anyone..."
"I'm sorry, Xia Xia, I shouldn't have shouted at you... I didn't know... I thought Xiao Jie and I were husband and wife..."
Ningxia raised the corner of her lips quietly, "I...I shouldn't have hit you...I should have talked to you properly..."
The voice was so soft that Sangsang almost didn't hear it clearly. "Hehe, I don't blame Xia Xia! It doesn't hurt! Hahahaha, wuwuwu..." After laughing twice, Sangsang pouted and started crying again, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Hearing something wrong in Sangsang's voice, Ningxia quickly stood up, carried Liu Qingtian outside, and slept in the middle, hugging Sangsang. "Sangbao, don't cry. I'm sorry, okay?"
Sangsang reached out and tightly grasped the corner of Ningxia's clothes, sobbing softly, "You...you should talk to me nicely next time..."
"Okay, Sangbao is so sensible. I will definitely talk to you properly next time! Did you remember that, Sangbao?"
Sangsang wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, "Yeah! Remember! You can't kiss or hug any boys, and you can't play with naked people, not even your brother, or you'll get hurt! Not until you're eighteen! And you need Xia Xia's consent to get married! I remember everything!"
Ningxia smiled, "Sangbao is awesome! Go to sleep!"
"My butt hurts, Xia Xia, rub it." Sangsang became more and more coquettish.
Ningxia patted her lightly, "Stop making noise! Go to sleep!"
"Hehe~"
The two people who were eavesdropping on the big bed also quietly curled up their lips. This night was infinitely warm.
The next morning, Ningxia returned Liu Qingtian to Mu Yuanqing, who was still sleeping soundly in the quilt, and went to the kitchen to prepare food.
Xiaojie only drank a bowl of chicken soup and a cup of honey water yesterday, so he must be very hungry now.
There were not many noodles left at home. Except for Liu Qingtian and Xiaojie who each got half a bowl of noodles soaked in chicken soup, the rest of the people had a simple dish of spicy stir-fried potatoes and stir-fried vegetables with a bowl of mixed grain rice.
"How is it? Is there enough salt?" Ningxia sat on the edge of the bed, watching Xiaojie slurp a big mouthful of noodles. He sat up at this time, with his back empty.
"Hmm, it smells very good." Xiao Jie nodded repeatedly. He was indeed hungry. He had a low fever again this morning, but he was in good spirits.
"Okay, then. Put the bowl next to the bed after you finish eating. You can sit for a while. When the medicine is ready, you can drink it and then lie down."
"Okay, thank you Sister Xia, you go and get busy."
Ningxia nodded and went out.
"Sister Xia Xia, how is Brother Jie?"
Ningxia nodded and said, "Not bad. After you finish your meal, go get a basin from the bathroom and see if he needs to go to the toilet. Help him."
Lin Yi nodded.
"Xia Xia, why aren't we eating noodles?" Sangsang's tone was very normal. She was not complaining about not having noodles to eat. She was just purely curious why some people ate noodles and some people ate rice.
Ningxia knew her temper very well and replied, "Because we are short of noodles and I rarely make flour, I saved it for your brother Jie."
"Oh!" Sangsang got the answer and contentedly lowered his head to take a big bite of the fried egg.
Ningxia didn't let anyone else down, and fried a delicious fried egg for each person.
"I think the snow is getting lighter. Xixi and I will go back either this afternoon or tomorrow morning."
"So anxious?"
"There are still a lot of livestock at home waiting to be fed! I wonder if they are cold."
Ningxia thought of the goats, chickens, and Maomao in Mu Yuanqing's pen, and realized that they were even more prosperous than the indigenous people.
"Okay then. I'll go with you guys later with some cabbage and radishes."
"You don't have to be so polite, right? And you're sending me food?"
Ningxia rolled her eyes and said, "That's for my Maomao."
"screw you!"
After eating the noodles, Xiao Jie got out of bed reluctantly with the help of Lin Yi to urinate, and then fell asleep again.
The medicine Liu Ximu prepared for him had a calming effect. During that time, he failed to wake him up even when he changed the dressing on his back. When the cold herbal liquid dripped onto the wound, his brows even relaxed a little.
"Master, he has been having a low-grade fever. Is he okay?"
Liu Ximu shook his head. "It's normal. I'm short of a few herbs. I'll drink today's. You'll be there in the afternoon anyway, so bring some and add them to tomorrow's medicine."
Ningxia nodded to show that she understood.
The snow in the yard had piled up to the windows, and Ningxia almost couldn't open the door.
There were still snowflakes floating in the sky, but they were much smaller and the temperature had dropped a lot. It was estimated to be around minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius outside.
Sangsang screamed excitedly, holding Liu Qingtian's hand and rushing into the snow. The two of them were wrapped up like balls, so Ningxia didn't stop them.
Lin Yi was holding the two children and making a snowman. The three adults were holding shovels and buckets, pouring snow out one bucket at a time. It was almost dark when they finally cleared the yard.
Several adults had a thick layer of snow on their shoulders.
As for the three little ones, they had been driven back into the house long ago, leaving only an exquisite snowman in the yard.
"I can't go back tonight. I think the snow won't stop until tomorrow. Let's go back tomorrow!"
There was no other choice, so Mu Yuanqing and his family stayed overnight.
"It's too cold outside. You stay home and take good care of your sister and your brother Xiaojie. I've already prepared dinner and I'll be back before dark."
Ningxia stood at the door giving instructions, fully armed, and put on the wide cloak under Mu Yuanqing's envious eyes.
"Tsk tsk, it looks really good. Did Xiaoyi do it?"
“That’s it!”
"When I change two pieces of leather, I'll ask him to make two for me, no, three!"
"Beg me, and I'll let Lin Yi do it for you."
Not surprisingly, Ningxia received a hard slap in the butt.
As soon as you walk out of the hospital, it feels like you have entered a world of ice and snow. At first glance, you can't find any other color except white.
Several people were dressed warmly. The temperature outside was acceptable. A thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river. It was estimated that it would be completely frozen in two days.
When crossing the river, Mu Yuanqing almost fell off the narrow wooden bridge. She broke out in a cold sweat while holding Liu Qingtian.
Qingtian didn't understand anything. She wore the rabbit fur mask that Lin Yi had made for her before, leaving only her round eyes exposed. The world of ice and snow made her a little excited, and she kept screaming.
Mu Yuanqing slapped her butt in annoyance and said, "You little bastard, if your mother doesn't call you, you will moan all day long."
Liu Ximu took the person over with a smile. Little Qingtian lay on her father's shoulder, looking at Mu Yuanqing with her watery eyes, her heart melted by her.
