"I was planning to bring you some meat when I was in the county, but I arrived too late and it was all sold out. However, I did buy some apples."
It's cold now, everything's frozen, let's heat it up and eat it.
Looking at the various foods he had brought her, He Wan felt an indescribable warmth in her heart. She smiled and said, "I have frozen pears and all kinds of vegetables here. Eggplants, potatoes, winter melons, and pumpkins harvested from the garden in the fall—we can't possibly finish them all. There are also a few pieces of cured meat."
Despite saying that, He Wan was still happy to put the food away and tried on the military overcoat.
I boiled a pot of water for him and made him a cup of milk to warm him up.
Zhou Ting'an looked at her stove and asked curiously, "Is this stove made of iron? Where did you get it? It must have been expensive."
"I bought it from an employee at an ironworks in the city for fifty yuan."
"Fifty? That's quite expensive. But... this thing is definitely warm."
"Yes, at night, I don't even need to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed). I just use this with coal, and it's warm all night long."
Zhou Ting'an sat there for a while, then looked around the room and found that his sister was indeed doing very well.
That's true; she couldn't even spend all of her daily pension, and she also received food subsidies.
I suddenly have a relative, and I feel like I can take good care of her.
At noon, He Wan, who hadn't cooked much for many days, steamed rice for two people.
I stir-fried dried green beans and eggplant, and shredded potatoes.
Zhou Ting'an helped her by tending the fire.
Of course, sorghum rice is also mixed in with the rice, which is the main ingredient, but I don't live a particularly luxurious life.
After dinner, Zhou Ting'an even helped her wash the dishes. He Wan looked at the dishes he washed and joked, "You're really good at housework."
Zhou Ting'an said, "I learned all of these skills on my own when I was a child, but I wasn't very proficient. Later, when I joined the army, I worked in the cooking squad for a few months. I learned all of these skills from the old squad leader there. Later, I also learned wilderness survival from an experienced master. These skills were accumulated little by little."
He Wan suddenly realized she shouldn't have asked; look, she'd brought up all of Zhou Ting'an's painful past.
I was at a loss for a moment.
Zhou Ting'an didn't care, in fact, he never felt bitter no matter what.
The more experiences one has, the more one realizes how lucky he already is.
"What do you need to do this afternoon? Do you need me to chop wood? I can help you."
"Okay, let's chop wood then." She rarely used it before, mainly because Lao Yun prepared meals for her.
Someone has come to our house now, so we definitely can't go there through the online space.
While Zhou Ting'an went outside to chop firewood, He Wan quickly went to her spatial storage and took out all the vegetables she had harvested in the fall.
There was also flour, cornmeal, and three jin of pork, as well as the steamed buns I had made before.
After taking it out, quickly put it away so that Zhou Ting'an won't become suspicious when he returns later.
Even while he was online, he didn't forget to send Lao Yun a text message.
Tell her that Zhou Ting'an came to see her and that it's inconvenient for her to enter her online space during this period.
Yun Shudai had just finished filming an advertisement and was resting in the break room.
He replied to her message instantly: "Zhou Ting'an came to see you? Then be careful and tidy up the modern things in the house."
“I’ve never put any modern things in the house.”
"Hua Hua, the cat litter and cat food that Hua Hua usually uses."
"Hua Hua's litter box is outside, so I brought back the bottom of a jar for her. I put sand in it and secretly added some mineral sand. That's fine, but the cat food she eats... um, I'll go take care of it right away."
He Wan hung up the phone and quickly left the space.
Hua Hua's cat bowl was placed in the corner of the room, but fortunately Zhou Ting'an didn't pay much attention to it.
I quickly poured out the cat food.
I gave it some steamed buns and poured some warm water.
As soon as Hua Hua saw He Wan move its bowl, it came over and meowed.
"Huahua, I'm sorry to trouble you. You'll have to eat leftovers for a while. Leftovers are the best you can eat. If you don't want to eat them, then go out and catch your own mice."
