Chapter 146 Snow Oden
After breakfast, Ye Yan'an and Zhao Ronger discussed the mold, Ye Yanshun went to Zhao Xingjian for advice, Yunniang did housework and took care of the baby at home, and everyone else went to shovel snow.
Because of Ye Yanping's presence, the road from the Ye family to the Tietou family was quickly opened. After the two families successfully joined forces, they continued to shovel forward together.
By the afternoon, families living nearby were basically connected by the road, and the children were hugging each other, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"Xiao Jiu'er, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, the snow has stopped, come out and play!"
The dolls shouted into the loudspeaker.
"Here I come!" Xiaowen and Xiaowu rushed out.
Unlike his two older brothers, Xiao Jiuer seemed a little listless today.
Her eyes, which were usually full of smiles, looked a little dim as she followed her two brothers with a listless look on her face. Because she was wearing so many clothes, she looked like a moving little ball.
"Master, it's okay, Juanjuan will help you!" The little golden snake poked its head out.
The little dumpling glanced at it with an expression that said, "You can't help me."
"Master, you underestimate Juanjuan!" The little golden snake flicked its tail and shrank into its pocket proudly.
Xiao Jiuer sighed, there will always be a way!
Then he put on a smiling face and said, "Yeah, wait a minute!"
"Sister, come here!"
Xiaowen and Xiaowu turned around and took her hand, and the three of them walked forward along the deep snow path.
What a rare sight!
There were high snow walls on both sides of the road. Looking up, you could only see a crack of sky above your head. Snowflakes floated on the little girl's long eyelashes and quickly turned into water.
After going out and turning right, I saw Tietou running towards me pulling a big board.
"Xiao Jiu'er, my dad made a snowboard. Sit on it and I'll take you out for some fun!"
When the little girl saw the skis, she thought they were awesome and even had handrails!
“Okay!”
The little boy squatted down and sat on the skis, holding the handrails in front of the skis with his little hands.
The iron head pulls the rope in front, and the skis glide easily on the snow.
There was an open space in front, and many children had already arrived. Some were playing snowball fights, and some were making snowmen. When they saw Tietou dragging Xiaojiuer over, they all surrounded them enthusiastically.
"Xiao Jiuer, let's play together!"
"Yeah!"
Let’s have a snowball fight!
Unfortunately, the kids were playing a new kind of snowball fight today, named – “Protect our little Jiuer.”
The two teams first played rock-paper-scissors, and the winner gained the protection of Xiao Jiuer.
Little Jiuer was made to squat in a trench made of snow and receive protection from his brothers and sisters.
"I want to play!" The little dumpling poked his head out of the pit to express his protest.
"Good boy, little Jiu'er, you're too young to play!"
"The ground is so slippery, Xiao Jiuer will fall!"
"Falling hurts!"
…
"snort!"
The sounds of joyful laughter and fighting filled his ears. Little Jiuer squatted in the pit depressedly, drawing circles with a branch.
Draw a circle and curse you, don’t play with me...
After thinking about it, he sank into the space and searched around.
After a while, the little dumpling came with a small pot and scooped a pot of clean snow with his little hands.
Place the pot on the stove and turn on the heat.
The water boiled quickly, and Xiaotuanzi took out the oden seasoning packet and ingredients from the space and poured them all into the pot.
"Gulp gurgle", the soup in the pot is bubbling, and the tempting aroma wafts into the air.
"Wow!" Little Tuanzi's eyes lit up, and he picked up the wooden stick with his little hand, blew on it, and then put it into his mouth.
"Juanjuan! Juanjuan wants one too!" The little golden snake crawled out of the pocket.
It's strange. People say snakes hibernate, but the little golden snake doesn't look like it wants to hibernate at all.
"Okay!" Little Dumpling picked up a piece of oden and stuck it into the snow. "Send Jiqi!"
The little golden snake slid onto the snow, stretched its neck and started eating.
"Master, what Juanjuan said is true. I can really help you with that matter!"
Juanjuan shook her head while eating.
…
At the front position, the kids who were having fun suddenly smelled the fragrance of food. The fragrance was so special that they couldn't stop drooling.
At this time, they found that a burst of hot air was coming out of the trench where Xiao Jiuer was hiding, and the fragrance seemed to be coming from there.
"Xiao Jiuer, what are you doing?" The kids ran over.
The trench was empty. Little Dumpling hurriedly stuck out half of his head, his big eyes blinking innocently.
"Xiao Jiuer, were you eating just now?"
"No, no!" The little dumpling shook his little hands.
Suddenly, the little mouth opened, "Hiccup——"
The kids: “…”
Little Dumpling: “…”
Fortunately, the women's voices calling for dinner came from the loudspeaker, and the children, whose appetites were aroused, ran home in two steps.
The sky was already dark and it looked like it was going to snow again.
"Xiao Jiuer, come up and sit down." Tietou said.
The little dumpling wiped his mouth, sat obediently on the skis, and was pulled back by Tietou.
In the main room of the Ye family, the brazier was burning warmly.
Ye Yanshun and Zhao Xingjian were still discussing their homework, while Ye Yanan and Zhao Ronger were studying with thin iron sheets and small hammers.
"Come and have dinner!" Luo Qiuyue called out.
Everyone walked along the eaves to the outer courtyard. The dining room of the new house was right next to the kitchen, which was very convenient.
Yunniang placed the earthenware jar on the table. After opening the lid, mist filled the air and the fragrance overflowed.
"White radish and mutton bone soup smells so good!" Zhao Ronger sniffed, "I'll help everyone get the soup!"
Zhao Xingjian took the lead and picked up the wooden spoon, filled a bowl and placed it in front of Ye Buwei, "Have some soup to warm your stomach."
Ye Buwei nodded, "Thank you very much, Master, have a drink too."
"Okay." Zhao Xingjian smiled and sat down. "Rong'er, quickly serve everyone some soup!"
Zhao Ronger: “…”
Ye Yan'an leaned close to Ye Yanshun's ear and said, "Master, you were once a high-ranking official. Why are you acting like our father's little follower?"
"I find it strange, too." Ye Yanshun said softly, "The teacher seems a little in awe of our father. I think there's a secret between them."
"Just be respectful." Ye Yan'an cupped his hands around his mouth, his voice as low as it could be. "Think about what our father used to do. They must have known each other before..."
"Ahem." Ye Buwei cleared his throat.
“Eat seriously!”
Luo Qiuyue stretched out her hand, and Ye Yan'an shrank his head, thinking he was going to be beaten, but Luo Qiuyue just touched his head.
Ye Yan'an was stunned.
He is fifteen years old this year and has not been touched on the head for a long time. His mother's gentleness today is really surprising.
"It's snowing outside again. Let's go to bed early after dinner and stay warm in bed."
"Okay, Mom." Ye Yanping nodded. "Mom and Dad, I remember you said before that the herb can only be found when it snows. Now that it's snowing, should we go into the mountains to look for it?"
"What herb?" Zhao Xingjian asked.
"The herb that can cure my father's eyes..."
Before Ye Yanping could finish his words, Zhao Xingjian suddenly stood up, knocking over the chair behind him, and asked excitedly: "Really? Is there really such a herb?"
"It's recorded in ancient books." Ye Buwei said calmly, "I don't know if it's true or not, but I have to give it a try."
"It will definitely work!" Zhao Xingjian was overjoyed, tears welling in his eyes. "God has eyes, God has eyes!"
Everyone was stunned by Zhao Xingjian's excitement.
The three brothers of the Ye family were confused: What is the relationship between Master Zhao and daddy?
Zhao Ronger tugged at her father's sleeve, "Daddy..."
"I'm sorry!" Zhao Xingjian wiped his tears and smiled casually, but his smile fell apart in an instant. He covered his mouth and choked with sobs, "You don't understand..."
