The oil in the pan was already hot. Shen Xingmian put the starch sausages in, occasionally stirring them with chopsticks to turn them over, before going to take care of the sweet potatoes and potatoes.
This kept her very busy.
Thankfully, Dao Dao was there to help her the whole time, otherwise she would have been sweating profusely from all the work.
The snow outside hadn't stopped, and in just a short while, a layer of snow had accumulated on the tent roof. She quickly called out:
"Daddy, take that stick over there and poke the top of the tent to knock off the snow so it doesn't collapse."
Don't forget this when you go to sleep tonight. I don't want to be digging people out of the snow the next day, hahaha.
The thought of that scene made her feel amused, and after returning to this body, her mind seemed to have returned to that of a twelve-year-old.
When acting cute with elders, I even feel like a little kid, so it's very natural and casual.
Of course, it was also because her family gave her enough love that she became more and more unruly. If she were to return to her grandmother's side, she would probably go back to her old ways.
She doesn't want to deny her past self, but that kind of growth was really tough and tiring.
If one can live a carefree and easy life, who would choose to suffer?
She always felt that people who glorify suffering were sick, saying things like "suffering is a blessing." If you gave them even a little bit of that blessing, they would be furious and want to curse you.
But if it were someone else, those sarcastic remarks would come out of nowhere.
She hates people like that the most. If she ever meets one again in this life, she promises to slap him across the face.
Yes, you have to be strong yourself to succeed. She's very strong now. She wants to kick these scoundrels when she sees them, and she can still get away unscathed.
In my past life, I was just an ordinary girl. I had to stay far away from injustices and had no ability to help.
If you get even a little too close, you're afraid of getting hit on the head and suffering an undeserved disaster.
Besides, she has no money. If she really gets hit on the head and can't get anyone to take responsibility, she won't even be willing to go to the hospital herself. Waaah, just thinking about it makes me want to cry.
If she gets stabbed twice more while trying to hold someone accountable, then she'll truly be the unluckiest person in the world.
Fortunately, God was kind to her, allowing her to come with her spatial ability. Now, guarding such a gold mine, she is no longer afraid of anything.
Life is getting better and better!
As she drifted into a daze, the starch sausage gradually cooked. Since there were no bamboo skewers, she used chopsticks to pick it out and put it on the table.
"Come on, have a taste, it's delicious!"
Shen Xingyan was the most anxious. She quickly picked up a stick, blew on it a few times, and then gently bit into it. She hissed and sneezed for a while because it was hot, which amused Shen Xingmian.
After she finished her "hissing" sound, she didn't forget to give Shen Xingmian feedback: "Little sister, this is delicious! I love this!"
"Then sister, eat more. There's more. If you run out, we can make some ourselves. It shouldn't be difficult."
Shen Xingmian didn't forget her previous intention to take good care of Xiao Yanyue, so she specially used clean chopsticks to tie one for both of them before sitting back down on the small stool next to the stove.
Although the heavy snow blocked her way, the experience of her family happily gathering around the fire was something she would cherish for a long time.
Everyone has to go through "detours," and not every "detour" is something to be hated. Some, like today, are things that bring happiness when you look back on them.
She ate while admiring the snow outside through the transparent side wall of the tent.
She thought she had only seen snow this heavy once before, when she was in high school. The day before school ended, the teacher asked them to gather in the classroom at noon the next day for a short meeting.
As a result, it snowed very heavily in the middle of the night, and the dormitory door was blocked the next day. However, the girls still trudged through the waist-high snow to their classroom, and their pants and shoes were completely soaked in no time.
However, the teacher who told them to be punctual never appeared.
Shen Xingmian only realized then that keeping some promises depends on the circumstances; being too honest might end up with nothing.
Later, after she started working, she belatedly realized that being a teacher is just a job, and there's no need to make things so difficult for yourself.
It would only take them half an hour to get from their dormitory to the classroom, while the teacher might not get there even if they walked for two hours without a car, and it wasn't anything particularly important to them anyway.
It's not worth it.
In the adult world, we may have to make trade-offs every day, though the issues vary in size.
What she longs for most deep down is probably to become someone whom, after weighing the pros and cons, would not be willing to give up but would choose first.
She doesn't believe in such love, so she remains single and won't even look at introductions.
Besides, after reading so much gossip online, she not only distrusted men but also felt a bit afraid of them, thinking that if they got angry, killing someone would be no problem at all.
How could a normal, ordinary person like her possibly compete with those desperate criminals?
Now things are different. She is still normal, but she is by no means ordinary, especially in this era where there is only martial arts and no superpowers. She can practically do whatever she wants.
Playing around with men isn't necessarily a bad thing, hehehe.
Even if they eventually turn to the dark side, they can't do anything to her.
It turns out that real strength really can make people do whatever they want; it's so satisfying just to think about it.
Sitting next to her, Xiao Yanyue watched her, sometimes looking melancholy and sometimes secretly laughing, completely unable to understand what was going on in her little head.
However, it seems he doesn't need to worry too much. She does have emotions, but she's also good at comforting herself, and everything will pass in a little while.
This mindset is something he should learn from.
It wasn't until they finished dinner, cleaned the tableware and kitchen utensils, and brought back a lot of snow to boil into hot water and wash everything that the snow began to lessen.
After eating her fill, Shen Xingmian felt warmer and put on her down jacket, planning to go out and play in the snow for a while.
The snow here is very clean; even when boiled, it contains no impurities, unlike the snow in later generations that has a layer of black ash on top after a day.
It would be such a shame not to give it a try!
At this moment, only the women remained in the tent, since they needed to be washed separately.
She looked around and figured the only person she'd go out to play in the snow with was her older cousin. Just then, her cousin was looking at her too and asked curiously, "Little sister, are you going out dressed like that? Do you need to pee? Do you want me to come with you?"
In Shen Xingyan's mind, her younger sister couldn't learn internal martial arts and only knew some fancy moves, so she was definitely not as good as her.
So he made a decision in his heart: he had to protect his younger sister at all times and never let her be bullied.
"I want to play in the snow, do you want to come too, sister?"
Shen Xingmian's eyes sparkled with anticipation for "going out to play in the snow," which made Shen Xingyan immediately jump up and start getting dressed, hurriedly replying, "Go, go, go, take me with you!"
