Chapter 264 Winter is Coming
As the cold winter approaches, everyone wraps themselves in thick winter clothes, gathers around the fire, and chats about trivial matters.
Ye Li's family lit a charcoal fire, placed the charcoal basin under the table, and then surrounded it with thick cloth. The whole family gathered around the table to warm themselves by the fire, drinking hot milk and eating chestnuts and walnuts picked in the autumn.
Xiao Xun was playing with the two kids, while Ye Li was writing and drawing with a charcoal pencil, planning the development of the farm for the coming year.
"What did you write?" Xiao Xun peeled a chestnut and handed it to Ye Li's mouth.
Ye Li lowered his head and ate a chestnut. He said, "Planning. When spring comes, there will definitely be a lot of things to do on the farm. I'll finish the plan first so that I won't be too busy and confused when the time comes."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ye Li glanced at Xiao Xun and smiled faintly, "Nothing in agriculture can stump me."
"Haha." Xiao Xun also laughed twice. He looked out the window. The wind in the forest was blowing hard, shaking the branches of a tree outside the window. It felt less cold in the tree house by the charcoal fire, but as soon as he went outside, the cold wind bit him. He continued, "It might snow in a few days."
Ye Li looked up, looked outside and said, "It's great if it snows. I can take Xiao Mu and Xi Xi out to play in the snow. I must build a snowman on the balcony outside."
"Make a snowman like me." Xixi pointed at herself and said, "A cute snowman like me!"
Ye Li and Xiao Xun were both amused by Xixi.
"What would you like to eat for lunch?" Xiao Xun asked. "I'll cook today."
"Uncle, can you handle it?" Xixi said, "Let's ask Uncle Xue Cun to cook. His dishes are delicious."
"Little girl, don't underestimate me. Wait until I make it for you to try. I guarantee it will be so delicious that you will even lick the plate clean." Xiao Xun reached out and scratched Xixi's little nose and said.
"Uncle Xiao Xun, let me help you." Xiao Mu offered, looking at Xiao Xun with admiration.
Ever since Xiao Xun saved Ye Li and Xi Xi from the wolfdogs and defended his family and Winnie in front of everyone, Xiao Mu has admired and respected Xiao Xun immensely. Because Xiao Xun is exactly who Xiao Mu wants to be, strong enough to protect his mother!
"Okay." Xiao Xun got up and went to the kitchen. Xiao Mu quickly followed him and the two of them were busy in the kitchen.
Xixi took a ball of paper and threw it around, playing with Winnie.
Ye Li looked back at the kitchen, smiled, turned back and continued to work hard.
Ever since Xiao Xun moved into the guest room in the name of protecting Ye Li's family, he refused to leave and seemed to integrate into the family day by day. The two children did not reject him. On the contrary, sometimes they would even stick to him to sleep together. Unknowingly, Xiao Xun became the father of this family.
Soon, the smell of food wafted from the kitchen, which tempted Winnie to stop playing and run to stand by the kitchen door. Seeing this, Xixi also squeezed into the kitchen.
Ye Li continued to work hard, and she was ambitiously preparing to do a big job when spring came!
"Knock knock..." There were hurried footsteps outside the house. Li Yuan pushed the door open suddenly, and a gust of cold wind swept in, almost blowing Ye Li's plan away.
"Great Elder!" Li Yuan said hurriedly, "Follow me to the square quickly. Something big has happened."
"What's wrong?" Ye Li quickly used something heavy to press down the plan, and she raised her head and asked.
"The people of the Farmland Tribe couldn't rebel against the people of the Mountaintop Tribe, so they just fled and came to us. There are more than a hundred of them, and they are now staying in the square in front of us." Li Yuan said panting.
"What?!" Ye Li suddenly jumped up in shock. "Have the people from the mountaintop tribe caught up with us?"
