As soon as November arrived, the temperature dropped sharply and it felt like winter in an instant.
The first snow of this year came very early. On the day when Qin Yao's study was completed on the 11th and she invited relatives and friends to her home to warm up the room, little snowflakes like sand grains fell down one after another.
The snow fell all afternoon and stopped in the evening. The roofs, fields and paths were all covered with a thin layer of snow.
The villagers of Liujia Village no longer worry about the coming of winter. The children put on thick new cotton-padded jackets and run excitedly in the fields, chasing the pitiful thin layer of snowflakes. Gathering them together and making a small snowball, they can be the first among the children.
The wound on Dalang's hand has fully recovered, Liu Fei has also recovered, and the second batch of book boxes needed by Fulon Trading Company has arrived. This young man led the children in his family and ruled the snow.
They had fun until the evening when it was time for dinner, then they hurried Dalang, Jinhua and others to Qin Yao's house to have dinner.
On cold days, the villagers did not feel cold even when sitting outside. There was a charcoal basin burning under each table. The atmosphere was lively and lively, and the dampness in the new study, which had just been built a few days ago, dissipated in an instant.
The happiest person in the family was Liu Ji. After the study was built, he hurriedly moved all his things there.
Half of the original small house was demolished, leaving one side as a small ear room and the other side as a corridor connecting the front and back yards.
He, who came to help with the cooking, said enviously, "This looks like a second courtyard."
He turned around and caught Liu Bo who was busy serving dishes, and raised his chin towards the old house, "In the future, we will build a corridor like this in our house. When the door is closed, parents can live in the front yard and we can live in the back yard. The children will not disturb the elderly. What do you think?"
The villagers urged them to serve the food quickly, otherwise it would get cold. Liu Bo was busy as hell, so he didn't care what she said. He just agreed and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you want."
He knew that he might not have listened to her, but she was very satisfied with his attitude and immediately smiled.
Once again, he caught the man who was about to leave with the food and secretly stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.
Liu Bo was shocked and embarrassed. He looked around and saw someone saw him smiling at him ambiguously. His face turned red and he yelled, "What are you doing?"
He is not afraid of others seeing it. What's wrong with a wife feeding her husband?
"Sister-in-law, can you give me some too?" Liu Ji appeared out of nowhere and said jokingly.
He said angrily: "You are a child, I will give you one piece!"
Liu Ji laughed loudly and dodged the spatula that He was about to throw at him, then quickly lowered his head to check his new jacket.
Although Qin Yao didn't bring him any gifts when she came back from the city last time, she still gave him a share of the cloth she bought. Qiu's craftsmanship was really good. He just put on this new sky-blue clothes today, and it would not look good if it was stained by the oil stains on the spatula.
He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. Thinking of the teacher who was still warming himself by the fire in the study, Liu Ji begged, "Sister-in-law, please give me some more peanuts. The teacher wants some."
He was about to scold him, but when she heard that it was the great scholar who wanted to eat, she immediately agreed with a smile, "You go back and wait, I will light a small pot and fry it for you, and then I will personally bring it to you after it is done."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Liu Ji's words were still sweet. After being thanked by him, He Shi immediately lost her temper.
However, at the door of the main hall, Qin Yao saw Liu Fei bringing back six wet children. The youngest one was sneezing and holding a ball of snow to her as a treasure. Qin Yao almost couldn't help but slap him on the butt.
"Hurry back to the house and change your wet clothes, especially you, Liu Pingling. Don't think I won't scold you just because you're cute. Hurry up and throw the snow away, change your clothes and come to the kitchen to drink ginger soup!"
Qin Yao said, and seeing the others sniffing, she quickly added, "Everyone come to the kitchen, one bowl of ginger soup for each of you!"
"And you!" Qin Yao pointed at Liu Fei from a distance. He was so grown up, yet he was still so unrestrained when playing.
This is not the modern age with advanced medical care. If you get frozen to death, it could be fatal.
Si Niang threw away her snowball in a hurry and took Jin Hua into the house to change clothes. Jin Bao followed Er Lang and San Lang. The old house was too far away, so he had to wear his brothers and sisters' clothes for the time being.
Dalang watched Qin Yao walk towards the kitchen and instruct Awang to cook ginger soup for them. He quickly crossed the corridor and came to the door of the newly built study. He saw Qi Xianguan, who was talking to Village Chief Gong Liangliao and others like a little adult in the room, and "Puchi! Puchi!" He nodded and successfully attracted his attention.
Qi Xianguan found an excuse to leave the study and came to Dalang, asking in confusion: "What are you doing? Where did you go to play?"
If he hadn't been feeling a little unwell these past two days, he would really like to go to the fields with Dalang.
Unfortunately, the stone was staring too closely, so I had to give up.
I had previously planned to go bird hunting at the foot of the mountain with Dalang, but now it seems hopeless.
It's snowing, although it's a light snow, but don't even think about going into the mountains again. Not to mention that Shitou and the others don't agree, Qin Yao on Dalang's side won't agree either.
Dalang gave Qi Xianguan a mysterious smile and asked him to stretch out his hand. The two of them, covered with wide sleeves, secretly completed the handover of a ball of snow.
The palm of his hand suddenly felt cold, and Qi Xianguan opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He looked down and saw a tightly squeezed snowball. He couldn't help laughing.
He looked up and wanted to ask Dalang how he got it, but he had already run away. He just turned back and pointed to the east, indicating that he collected it from the fields in the east.
The snow is so thin that the water will melt as soon as the snow stops. It is extremely difficult to find such a ball of snow.
Qi Xiangun poked the snowball with his hand. It was soft and a hole instantly appeared on it. He quickly pinched it and called the servant boy to carry it carefully to the Lotus Courtyard and place it under the windowsill outside his bedroom. Perhaps it could survive the night.
Qin Yao saw the "secret" of the two young boys, feeling helpless and amused. After the ginger soup was cooked, everyone, including Liu Fei, drank a bowl before letting them sit down to eat.
There were eight tables in total inside and outside the house. The villagers ate in two groups, and another table was set up in the study for distinguished guests.
Liu Ji was responsible for greeting the guests, Qin Yao was responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and the sisters-in-law in the old house took care of them. The warm-house banquet went very smoothly.
For several days afterwards, the villagers held house-warming banquets. Most of the villagers either renovated or built new houses. Qin Yao and his wife took their children to visit every household and attended the banquets. They all gained weight.
If this happened a year ago, the villagers of Liujia Village would not even dare to imagine it. How could anyone get fat from a banquet?
But this year, they believed it. It turns out that if you eat too much meat, you will feel sick of it.
Carpenter Liu and his family held a lively housewarming party at the end of November.
The new house was built on the hillside opposite the stationery factory, which was the abandoned old house that Qin Yao actively recommended at the beginning.
The mute and his group had the experience of building the Lotus Courtyard, and with Carpenter Liu's own various ideas, Qin Yao saw that his new house looked very much like an antique-style B&B building specially built by modern people.
I expect a small update on the last day of the month.
