A cold wind, carrying rain, arrived at Jiufeng Mountain, and everyone put on thick clothes.
Just a couple of days ago, everyone thought that boiling water and cooking rice were things that would make you sweat profusely, but these days everyone loves to flock to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Huang Yiyi warmed her cold hands in front of the fire. "Although this earthen building is quite old, it's much warmer than the houses we used to live in."
Behind them, Mr. Huang was peeling an eggplant. “It is indeed warmer. I’ve seen it these past few days. The walls of this earthen building are so thick that they block out the wind.”
While they were still chatting, Zheng Wan's family on the other side had already started eating.
While eating, Zheng's father suddenly remembered that French Fries hadn't come home for dinner yet, so he stood up and searched the whole house but couldn't find the chubby, white figure.
Zheng Wan quickly told her father to sit back down and eat, "Don't look for it anymore. If the fries aren't at our house, then they must have eaten at someone else's house."
The second sister sitting next to her laughed when she heard this, "Since we moved here, French Fries and Liu Liu have been playing together every day. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be at Cheng Zhi's house."
Hearing that it had food to eat, Mr. Zheng felt relieved.
He had barely sat down, not even picked up his chopsticks, when he thought of the owner of the fries again. "Where are Qi Yanche and the others? Haven't they arrived yet? I haven't heard you mention this for the past two days."
Zheng Wan shrugged and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
The older sister didn't believe she didn't know. "That shouldn't be the case. You knew what happened in Yangzhou before, but you don't know what's going on with those two in Yudu now? Have you forgotten your third eye?"
Zheng Wan nodded as she ate, and said seriously, "Yes, I overexerted myself a while ago and injured my Heavenly Eye. I can't use it for a while now."
"..."
The two families next door had already finished eating and their children were playing together. Cheng's parents were bored, so they brought mahjong to visit Chen Siyu's house.
Sitting on the sofa, Chen's mother was delighted to see the mahjong set in their hands. "Oh my, the three of us were just talking about finding a set to play, and here you are! This is wonderful, hahaha..."
Mr. Chen was also very happy and pulled Mr. Cheng aside, saying, "Old Cheng, you two came just in time, you're my saviors."
Cheng's father put the mahjong tiles on the table. Judging from Chen's father's tone, he didn't seem very interested in playing mahjong. "What? Do you not like playing mahjong, or do you not know how to play?"
Chen's mother helped her grandmother sit down. "He can play, but he's not very interested in these things. He's fine with playing once or twice, but he gets bored after that and starts nagging to get off the table."
Grandma waved to Chen's father, "Xiao Zhou, we have playmates now, you should go play too."
Having received the clearance, Mr. Chen readily agreed, "Okay, Grandma, you all have fun. I'm going to find Old Huang for tea."
At this moment, Cheng Zhi's room on the fourth floor was also in an uproar, mainly because Cheng Ye was about to explode.
Cheng Zhi, Xiao Feiran, and Chen Siyu were chatting inside, while Cheng Ye played house with Zhiyu.
The little sister was adorable, but she was still a child and wouldn't stay quietly playing one game for a long time. In just one hour, she called for her brother at least 50 times and played eight different games. Cheng Ye felt his head was buzzing.
Right now, my little sister is doing a jigsaw puzzle, and Cheng Ye is sitting next to her, almost falling asleep.
Suddenly, his little sister said to him, "Brother, I've finished!"
Cheng Ye was startled by the word "brother" and almost fell off the stool. "Zhiyu, you finished a 300-piece puzzle so quickly?"
Zhiyu pointed to the jigsaw puzzle in front of her. "Really, you can check it yourself. There are absolutely no mistakes."
Cheng Ye glanced at it and confirmed it was correct. He reached for the other box, but Zhi Yu stopped him.
"Brother, I don't want to do puzzles anymore, I want to play with makeup," Zhiyu said, looking at him.
Cheng Ye looked at her and smiled, saying, "But my brother has nothing but Da Bao, and the older sisters probably won't lend us anything, so we probably won't be able to play."
Zhiyu blinked. "It's okay, I have cosmetics."
Cheng Ye was still a little skeptical when he heard this. He glanced into the inner room and lowered his voice, saying, "Zhiyu, did you take my sister's cosmetics? You'd better return them right away, or you'll be in big trouble."
Zhiyu shook her head repeatedly, saying that she hadn't taken anyone else's things, that they were hers, and then pulled out a pink makeup case from among the many toys.
Cheng Ye's eyes widened as she looked at the product description at the bottom of the box. There are even children's cosmetics these days; the times are really progressing fast.
Since it was his own toy, Cheng Ye felt relieved. "Go ahead and play. I'll put the puzzle pieces away for you."
Days passed by, and a whole week went by, but they still hadn't seen Qi Yanche and Chen Yiyi.
French Fries had become listless because it hadn't seen its owner for a long time. Even when Liu Liu brought it a ball to play, it wasn't interested.
Xiao Feiran squatted down next to the fries and groomed its fur. "Do you think Qi Yanche and the other guy have come out yet?"
Cheng Zhi was boiling water in front of the stove when she heard Xiao Feiran ask this question. She shook her head and said, "Who knows? Let's ask Xiao Zhi later."
Upon hearing that she wanted to have Xiao Zhi do a fortune telling, Xiao Feiran became a little nervous. "What if it's a bad omen?"
Cheng Zhi put down the fire tongs and didn't respond for a long time. The whole room was so quiet that the only sound was the crackling of the burning wood.
"No, they brought this on themselves. No one is allowed to save them. They'll never learn their lesson until they've suffered enough!" After saying this, Cheng Zhi angrily threw a piece of wood into the stove.
When French Fries saw that Cheng Zhi seemed angry, he immediately came over and nuzzled her arm with his head, as if to comfort her.
