"Okay, come over quickly to eat and warm yourself by the fire. I didn't expect it to snow so soon."
"Your father and I were just discussing when you would be able to come back."
As he spoke, Tian laughed and packed food for the few people.
Gu Cheng was still a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, just eat. Since you're already with Yimeng, we're family now. Don't be so polite."
"Eat it."
Pei Shan also said something from the side.
Only then did Gu Cheng feel comfortable enough to take the food and start eating.
"This year's snow is falling really early. It's never fallen this early before."
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. This is a good sign."
Qin Miaomiao took a few big bites of the meat, then looked at Tian and laughed.
"Yes, yes, Miaomiao is right. This means that our harvest will be very good next year."
"Well, what Miaomiao said is really true. We use the settled river water for irrigation, and the harvest of crops this year has increased a lot."
"Well, we can continue to use the river water for irrigation next year, but we'll have to carry water back and forth all the time."
Qin Miaomiao took a few more bites and only then did she feel her body warming up.
"What's the big deal? As long as we can harvest a little more, it's a good thing for everyone. Why would we mind the trouble?"
The family chatted and laughed like this, and before long, it was dark.
Gu Cheng looked outside.
"Uncle Captain, I'd better go back. It's getting dark."
Qin Miaomiao stood up suddenly.
"How about sleeping here tonight?"
Everyone looked at Qin Miaomiao.
Isn’t this a bit bad?
They had already stayed there for the entire afternoon. If they continued to sleep like this all night, Gu Cheng would feel really embarrassed.
Qin Miaomiao looked at Pei Qingyuan.
I hope Pei Qingyuan can help me.
Pei Qingyuan also reacted immediately, reached out and grabbed Gu Cheng's arm, and pulled him aside to sit down with a smile.
"Gu Zhiqing, just stay for one night, okay? After all, we've never been to Beijing before. Would you like to tell us about Beijing?"
"That's right, I want to listen to it too."
Qin Miaomiao also nodded hurriedly, agreeing with what Pei Qingyuan said.
Liu Mengzhu also hurriedly agreed.
Then several people looked at Pei Qinghe.
Pei Qinghe: “…”
It was really a bit far-fetched, but seeing Liu Mengzhu's eyes, he nodded: "Yes, I want to know too. My brother and I have been lying at home for so many years, and we don't know what it's like outside. I just want to know."
"Stay here, it's rare to go back and there's nothing to do, so why not tell us about Beijing City here? I'm old now, and I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to go to Beijing City again."
Tian Daxiao also helped speak for the children.
Qin Miaomiao happily took Tian Daxiao's arm.
When Gu Cheng heard everyone say this, he felt embarrassed to refuse, so he had to agree.
If it's still like this tomorrow, I won't be able to do it. I must leave tomorrow.
"Then you guys chat while I go cook. We'll have that big pot stew that Miaomiao mentioned tonight."
As he spoke, Tian Daxiao stood up, and Liu Mengzhu also stood up to help.
"No, it's nothing serious. Just let your dad help me. You just sit here. You young people talk a lot."
As he said this, Tian laughed and turned to the stove and started working.
Even in the winter, the fire in the house never goes out, and the temperature emitted by the fire wall is very comfortable.
Qin Miaomiao leaned against the wall and looked at the small fire pit in front of her.
This is a pit dug in the ground. Firewood is burning inside, and the crackling sound is full of life.
Occasionally throw a sweet potato or chestnut in there, and it will go off with a bang.
Under the firelight, everyone's face was red.
"This fire pit, I remember it was only found in the south. Do you have it here too?"
Qin Miaomiao was a little confused.
When I was a child, I followed my grandfather to visit the homes of my comrades in the countryside, and that’s how they warmed themselves by the fire.
Some families even hang bacon over the fire pit.
I didn’t expect it to exist in the north too.
"It's always been like this here, but we put other things in it during the summer, so you didn't notice it."
Pei Qingyuan explained.
Qin Miaomiao screamed, and then she remembered that the world they lived in was just a book.
Nothing can be connected to the real world.
Qin Miaomiao was just confused for a moment, and then she immediately let it go.
"I want to eat bacon."
Qin Miaomiao said softly.
Pei Qingyuan heard it.
He moved his fingers and thought of Yuan Sheng.
That kid Yuan Sheng can definitely get some bacon.
Talk to him then.
Tian Daxiao and Pei Shan were busy on the side, listening to the children chatting, and the smiles on their faces never left their faces.
She had never felt so happy as she did today.
The children are all safe and the whole family is together. It feels so good.
Dinner was ready in less than a moment.
Take out a tripod, place it on the fire pit, then place the iron pot on the tripod, and then you can eat.
The big pot of stew also contained sauerkraut made by Tian Daxiao, and the sour smell filled everyone's nose.
Qin Miaomiao sniffed and touched her stomach. She had just eaten not long ago, but now she felt hungry again.
There are not many supplies now, otherwise she believes that Tian Daxiao can cook even better meals.
She began to get a little impatient and looked forward to the opening.
This year marks the 75th anniversary. If we persist a little longer, we will be able to get out soon.
Qin Miaomiao took the bowl and sipped the soup.
It tastes sour and really delicious.
After dinner, the family sat together again and chatted for a while before washing up and returning to the house.
Qin Miaomiao and Liu Mengzhu lay together on the warm kang.
Qin Miaomiao twisted and turned.
"It's so comfortable. I've never slept in such a warm bed before."
As he said that, he began to roll his body.
Liu Mengzhu looked at her in the light of the kerosene lamp.
"Miaomiao, I have something to tell you."
"Piggy, I have something to tell you."
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Then they went into the space together.
"What do you want to say?"
Qin Miaomiao asked first.
Liu Mengzhu was a little embarrassed because what she wanted to talk about was what happened between her and Pei Qinghe.
"That's right, I...I...I'm with Pei Qinghe, we're dating."
Liu Mengzhu let out a breath and finally said this.
After saying that, she looked at Qin Miaomiao, wondering how Miaomiao would react.
"What the hell, what a coincidence?"
Liu Mengzhu: “?”
What does this mean? How could this be a coincidence? Could this be what Miaomiao was talking about?
