After Jiang Cheng severed ties with the Jiang family, the family quickly got back on track and began preparing for the winter in an orderly manner.
In order to thank Jiang Cheng, He Xiaomi's mother invited the entire Song family to dinner.
The two families chatted happily at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
————
"When I woke up this morning, I felt like I was in an ice cellar." Jiang Cheng got out of bed after wearing three layers of quilts, and walked to Song Tingzhi to straighten his clothes.
"The weather this year is not right, it's too cold!" Song Tingzhi rubbed his hands, "You should be careful when you walk outside."
Nowadays, there is a thin layer of ice on the ground in the morning, which makes it easy to slip when walking on it. Someone in the village accidentally stepped on it and fell. Not only did they suffer, but they also spent a lot of money.
"You should be careful too. Don't go to the mountain after today. I'm worried!" Jiang Cheng said, holding Song Tingzhi's face.
"Well, we won't go up the mountain anymore." Song Tingzhi promised.
The two of them had breakfast with their family, and then Song Tingzhi went out.
Jiang Cheng watched his back until he could no longer see him clearly before turning back.
"Mom, has the family prepared food for the winter this year?" Jiang Cheng walked to Xu Sanniang, took the bowl from her hand and began to wash it.
"It's all ready." Xu Sanniang didn't seem annoyed when Jiang Cheng pushed her aside. She wiped her hands with her apron. "Speaking of which, the weather this year is quite a bit colder than usual. You and Tingzhi should be careful tonight and don't catch a cold. It would be terrible if you caught a cold today!"
Jiang Cheng felt that Xu Sanniang's concern was a bit strange at first, but when he saw the teasing smile on Xu Sanniang's face, he understood. He blushed, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Okay, okay, mom won't tease you anymore!" Xu Sanniang looked at Jiang Cheng's shy look with a motherly smile on her face.
"mother……"
Jiang Cheng ignored Xu Sanniang and just focused on washing the dishes.
"Although it is much colder this year than in previous years, we have everything we need at home, so we will have no problem getting through the winter safely, don't worry." Xu Sanniang returned to the topic.
After saying that, Xu Sanniang was called out by Song Yu.
It turned out that when Song Yu was playing with a village doll, the doll accidentally pulled out a few tufts of Xiao Hui's hair, leaving a particularly obvious bald spot on Xiao Hui's body. Song Yu was scared and cried, and came back holding Xiao Hui while crying.
"Oh, my little ancestor, it's okay. Xiao Hui just had some of his fur scratched off. You see, there's not even a wound. The fur will grow back after a while and it will be gone."
Xu Sanniang carefully pulled apart Xiao Hui's fur to show Song Yu and coax him.
"Really? But Xiao Hui just screamed miserably!"
When they were playing just now, Xiao Hui suddenly let out a "wow", and his usually silly dog face suddenly became ferocious, scaring the baby to tears and also frightening Song Yu.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Sanniang coaxed, "If you don't believe me, go ask your brother Jiang Cheng!"
Xu Sanniang really couldn't coax him any more, so she quickly pulled Jiang Cheng out to use as a shield.
"Brother?" Jiang Cheng just came out after washing the dishes and saw Song Yu looking at him with tears in his eyes.
"Yes, Xiaoyu, it will look nice when Xiaohui's fur grows out."
Jiang Cheng walked to Song Yu, squatted down, touched his head and comforted him.
"Really?" Song Yu still didn't quite believe it.
"Really? Otherwise, why don't you wait for your elder brother to come back and ask him?" Jiang Cheng stroked Xiao Hui's fur and turned to look at Song Yu.
"No need." Song Yu wiped away her tears and snot, "I believe in Brother Chengcheng."
"Xiao Yu is the best!" Jiang Cheng touched Song Yu's head and praised.
Song Yu was no longer sad, so he naturally felt better and went out again with Xiao Hui in his arms.
"Xiao Yu, be careful!" Xu Sanniang said worriedly as she watched Song Yu running away.
"Chengcheng's words are still useful!" Xu Sanniang was really exhausted by this little ancestor. Fortunately, in addition to Song Tingzhi, there was also Jiang Cheng in the family who could control him.

It was dark, and Jiang Cheng was chatting with Xu Sanniang and others in the house.
Jiang Cheng looked calm on the surface, but he was always nervous inside. It was already dark today, and Song Tingzhi still hadn't returned. Jiang Cheng was very worried.
"Dad, Mom, Chengcheng, I'm back!"
When Jiang Cheng was daydreaming, Song Tingzhi's voice came from outside the door.
Jiang Cheng ran out without thinking too much.
"Why did you come back just now?" Jiang Cheng used the moonlight to shake Song Tingzhi back and forth to see if he had any injuries.
"Something went wrong on the way, and that's why I'm late." Song Tingzhi explained, "Don't worry, I'm back!"
"Hmph, let me take a closer look when we get back to the house..." Jiang Cheng didn't want to argue with him outside, so he patted him and went in angrily.
Song Tingzhi pulled the donkey cart and followed Jiang Cheng in.
"Oh, look how anxious you made Chengcheng today!" Xu Sanniang complained to Song Tingzhi when she saw him coming back.
Although Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, Xu Sanniang could tell from Jiang Cheng's expression that he was absent-minded. He was just worried about Song Tingzhi's safety because it was getting late.
Xu Sanniang was used to Song Tingzhi going out early and coming back late, but Jiang Cheng was not. He had only been married into the Song family for half a year, and now he was married so early, so naturally she would be worried about Song Tingzhi, and Xu Sanniang understood.
"It's my fault." Song Tingzhi drank a glass of water and apologized to Jiang Cheng. "From tomorrow until the snow melts next year, I won't go up the mountain anymore. That way, my husband can rest assured."
"Really?" Jiang Cheng was so happy that he couldn't sit still.
"Of course, I promised you before, how could I go back on my word!" Song Tingzhi looked at Jiang Cheng gently.
"Alright, alright, you two young couples, stop being so affectionate in front of me, your father, and your younger siblings. It's late, go back to your room!"
Xu Sanniang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she quickly waved her hand and told them to go back to their room to be together.
Jiang Cheng's face turned red after hearing what Xu Sanniang said. Song Tingzhi said hello to his parents and took Jiang Cheng back to the house.
In the room, Jiang Cheng stuffed the hot water bottle that he had prepared long ago into Song Tingzhi's hands to warm his hands.
"Why are you back so late today?" Jiang Cheng walked behind Song Tingzhi, massaged his shoulders and loosened his muscles.
"I...hiss..." Song Tingzhi groaned in pain.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng stopped in fright when he heard Song Tingzhi's voice and asked quickly.
"It's okay, I accidentally fell on the road and pulled my shoulder." Song Tingzhi said disapprovingly.
Compared to the injuries I suffered in recent years, this kind of strain is considered minor.
"I don't know what to say to you." Jiang Cheng looked at Song Tingzhi unhappily, then turned around and went to the cabinet to get Tiger Balm.
"Go to the bed and take off your clothes." Jiang Cheng instructed.
Song Tingzhi didn't dare to talk back. He walked to the bed, took off his clothes and lay down.
Jiang Cheng rubbed the Tiger Balm in his hands to warm it up, and then pressed it on the injured area of Song Tingzhi.
"Hiss—" Song Tingzhi's back muscles tightened and he cried out softly.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt?" Jiang Cheng didn't stop moving his hands and continued to exert force.
"No...it doesn't hurt." Song Tingzhi didn't dare to say it hurt, he just gritted his teeth and persevered.
"That's fine. I'll see if you can be more careful next time!" Jiang Cheng said as he continued to press on his wound.
