The temperature was already very low right after the autumn harvest and before winter had even begun. Low temperatures were not suitable for brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor), so the village's collective distillery closed down at that time and reopened in the spring.
Therefore, Luo Jingyan, like other members, has time to enjoy hibernation during the winter.
"Grandma, is it too cold?" It's much colder than Beijing.
"It's nothing. Back when we were fighting, it was even further north and colder than this. We survived the freezing winter in the snow and ice, so this is nothing. Compared to the past, we're just enjoying life now."
Luo Jingyan poured another cup of hot water for Grandma Xue: "Grandma, this will make you feel warmer."
"Thanks."
"Grandma, you don't need to be so polite with me."
Luo Jingyan is back, so Black Tiger no longer needs to stay in the space. She went outside for a while, and when she came back, she brought Black Tiger back with her.
When Grandma Xue saw Luo Jingyan holding the cat, she asked, "Jingyan, why did you bring a cat back?"
Black Tiger: "..."
Grandma, I've seen you before, hehe.
"Grandma, its name is Black Tiger. It's a cat I raised. I left it at home when I left. It usually stays in the kitchen and can go out to catch mice whenever it wants."
Grandma Xue saw that the black tiger was plump and had shiny fur; it was very beautiful.
"Give me a hug."
Luo Jingyan first handed the black tiger to Grandma Xue, who then held the kitten in her arms and wrapped it in a blanket.
"Black Tiger, this way you won't be cold."
Black Tiger meowed twice, indicating that it was satisfied.
That evening, Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen took Grandma Xue to the cowshed. As soon as Grandma Zhang saw Grandma Xue, she noticed that she looked radiant and asked, "Young lady, how old are you?"
Anyway, she felt that the other person was younger than her.
"Me? I'm sixty-eight, almost seventy."
"Oh my, you're so old, I feel like you're not even sixty yet."
Grandma Xue has a good attitude and exercises regularly, making her look much younger than the average elderly woman.
"I'm seventy-two this year," Grandma Zhang said.
"Then I really should call you 'older sister'," said Grandma Xue with a smile.
"Girl, let's talk more in the future."
"yes."
The two old ladies got along very well, and Luo Jingyan had to admire Grandma Xue's social skills; she could please people of all ages.
Back home, Grandma Xue wanted to sleep with Luo Jingyan, while Xue Yanchen continued to sleep with Luo Changtian.
However, because Old Mrs. Xue was here, Xue Yanchen had no chance to be intimate with his wife, and his eyes were filled with resentment from the moment he returned.
Luo Jingyan saw his eyes, and their gazes met. He gestured towards the window.
Luo Jingyan immediately understood what she meant and said to Grandma Xue, "Grandma, I'm going out for a bit. If you can't wait for me to come back, you can go to sleep first."
Grandma Xue glanced at Luo Jingyan, then at Xue Yanchen, and immediately understood what was going on.
She's just standing there, a living person, probably acting as a third wheel for those two.
The grandson is leaving tomorrow, so the two of them will definitely have a chance to spend some quality time together.
"Why don't you go out, Grandma?"
"How can that be?"
Both of them disagreed, saying that the elderly person should not be allowed to suffer in the cold outside.
"Grandma, we'll be back soon."
"It's cold outside, wear something warmer."
"knew."
Luo Jingyan put on a thick cotton-padded coat, and after the two of them went outside, Xue Yanchen gave her his coat.
"Where are we going?" Luo Jingyan asked softly.
If it were in the kitchen, which is next to the bedroom, the old lady might hear the noise.
They are on the edge of farmland, with a small grove of trees and haystacks outside.
"Let's go to the haystack outside. It's so late, no one will come out anyway," Luo Jingyan said.
She never imagined she would be secretly doing something like this outside, something only a villain in a book would do. She almost laughed, and her pretty face flushed in the darkness.
"Okay, let's go over there."
The two jogged over to the haystack, and upon noticing that no one was around, they instantly embraced and their lips met.
They just hugged and kissed, and because it was too cold, they went home after half an hour.
Meanwhile, Grandma Xue, who was at home, hadn't seen them return. Afraid they would get cold, she didn't dare go out to look for them and could only wait inside.
After Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen returned, Xue Yanchen went to Luo Changtian's room, while Luo Jingyan went back to her own room.
Seeing that the old lady was still awake, she asked, "Grandma, aren't you sleepy yet?"
"I'm not sleepy. Grandma is waiting for you to come back and tell you a story. Do you want to hear it?"
"Okay, Grandma, tell me the story after I lie down."
Luo Jingyan took off her clothes and lay down in bed: "Grandma, please begin your story."
"Alright, let me tell you about the time I killed Japanese soldiers when I was young. That was the fifth year the Japanese had been here..."
The old lady talked for about five or six minutes and then fell silent. Before the listeners could fall asleep, she herself had already fallen asleep.
Luo Jingyan smiled. If the old lady can't sleep in the future, this method of coaxing her to sleep is quite good.
The next day, Xue Yanchen and Zhao Jun took the train back to their unit. After arriving at the unit, they prepared to submit the materials for their marriage application to their superiors.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was not flustered, he wondered, "This guy said he wanted to get married with me, but now he doesn't want to anymore?"
Have you prepared your report materials?
Zhao Jun shook his head. Actually, he was prepared. Given his and Qin Zhenzhen's family's circumstances, passing the political vetting would definitely not be a problem.
