Chapter 192 Extreme Cold. The Snow Is Different Tonight
After deciding on the menu, I started washing fruits, cherries, strawberries, lychees and peaches. Finally, I took out some candies and chocolates. It was only half past seven when everything was ready.
I opened my phone, searched for a piece of light music and played it, then went upstairs to collect the goods. I accidentally found a pair of couplets, which seemed to be brought when I moved. Although the year did not match, it was also a good omen.
She went downstairs happily and found that Gu Ye had already gotten up and was looking at the fruits and candies on the table.
Gu Ye was a little flustered when he met her gaze. It had been a long time since he saw Chu An smile like this. No, he had never seen her smile so gently.
The smile in front of him instantly dispelled all the haze. He just heard what Huo Sisi said. Although he told himself not to care about other people's opinions, his body still felt uncomfortable uncontrollably, and he even had stomach cramps.
"Awake? Still feeling bad?"
Gu Ye shook his head, "It's not painful anymore."
"Go take a shower, and then we'll make dumplings."
“Making dumplings?”
"Yes. There is also a New Year's Eve dinner, which is indispensable."
Gu Ye nodded hurriedly and immediately ran to the bathroom with his pajamas.
While he was washing up, she took out the prepared dumpling-making tools from the space, waited for Gu Ye to finish his shower, and then they started working together.
Gu Ye rolled the dough while she made dumplings in many different styles, including lotus leaves, little rabbits, and gold ingots. She also made two with sugar and two with pistachios.
There is no point asking for money in the last days, as it does not include coins.
It was already nine o'clock when the two of them finished. Chu An took out his iPad and found an interesting episode of the Spring Festival Gala. The two of them ate melon seeds and fruits while complaining.
Snowflakes began to fall outside the window unknowingly. Chu An felt that the snow tonight was different from the previous ones. It was just like the New Year's Eve in the past, gentle and ethereal, implying that auspicious snow would herald a good harvest.
When it was ten o'clock, Gu Ye went to cook dumplings while she put the fruit plates on the bedside table and brought over the crayfish and chicken feet.
At the New Year's Eve dinner, the two of them exchanged blessings with drinks instead of wine, and there was already some space left in their stomachs so they could enjoy the meal.
Gu Ye ate a candy filling, and she ate a pistachio, which hurt her teeth, causing Gu Ye to laugh so hard that he fell over, and the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed.
After eating the dumplings, Gu Ye mysteriously took out a roll and gave it to her.
Take it and unfold it slowly.
Inside, she was sitting on the stairs, listening to music with her eyes closed, looking relaxed and contented.
She couldn't remember when she had done this before, but the painting was really good.
Gu Ye looked at her expectantly, like a child asking for praise. "This is my New Year's gift to you. I originally thought I couldn't give it to you."
“Why can’t it be delivered?”
Gu Ye shook his head and said nothing, "Anyway, I've given it to you now, so the previous ones don't count."
He chuckled and went to add fuel to the stove, then poured the boiled water into the thermos and placed it at Chu An's bedside. This was something he must do every night before going to bed.
"Thank you. I am very happy."
Chu An turned around and went to the desk, rummaging through the drawer containing the papers.
Gu Ye was immediately shocked, "I...I don't need a return gift."
Chu An rolled his eyes at him, took out a red envelope from the bottom and handed it to him, "Happy New Year."
Gu Ye opened it and found that it was not coins, but a note that said "All wishes will be granted".
"I can give you one chance to make any request, you must seize it." Chu An said earnestly.
"Any request is OK?"
"Well, that's on the premise that I can do it."
"Okay, I'll keep it well." Gu Ye waved the red envelope in his hand at her, "I'll use it later."
The two of them curled up in their own beds, one reading a book, the other looking at his phone, chatting about random things, and staying up together to celebrate the New Year.
After midnight, Chu An finally succeeded in staying up all night. He was so sleepy that he said good night and fell into a deep sleep.
The next second he entered the space, but he didn't find Shen Xun, and found a note in the living area, "Happy New Year, I'm going to live in the mountains for a few days."
He is trying to avoid all days that represent reunion.
Never mind, let him be.
There was also an egg-laying record on the back of the note. The adult chickens, ducks and geese we bought at that time laid about 3,075 eggs in half a year, with duck eggs producing the most and goose eggs the least.
Now the cubs have reached the breeding period and can lay eggs one after another. After a rough calculation, she will have 20,000 eggs every year in the future. I am happy just thinking about it.
However, some will be left to continue incubating so that it can last for a long time.
Turning around to look at the dogs, they were all full of energy. Logically, since Chen Xun had raised them, they should be closer to him, but the dogs were obviously more excited to see her.
There are too many dogs and I can’t pet them one by one. I finally understand why ancient emperors always showed mercy to evil concubines. Dogs are so cute, they just want your favor, not the moon in the sky.
She played Frisbee with them for a while outside the fence and then went to plant vegetables.
I have given away too much recently and I need to make up for it. In addition to the previous varieties, I have added beans, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, bell peppers and onions.
On the first day of the New Year, Chu An was awakened by the delicious smell of rice porridge.
She poked her head out from under the quilt, looked at Gu Ye's broad back as he cooked porridge, and suddenly felt that he had grown up.
Yes, after the Chinese New Year, both of them are one year older.
"Get up, it's time to eat." Gu Ye heard a rustling sound behind him, and without turning around he knew she was sleeping in the quilt.
"Yeah." Chu An plucked up the courage to get out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Ding ding ding, someone is knocking on the door.
Gu Ye wiped his hands and hurried to open the door, but he didn't expect that the first person to come on New Year's Day was Ouyang.
He was holding something wrapped in newspaper in his hand and said with a smile, "Happy New Year."
Gu Ye didn't invite him into the house. In fact, they had never invited anyone into 1111.
"Happy New Year." Gu Ye responded politely, "Brother Ouyang, is there anything I can do for you?"
When Chu An heard Ouyang's name, he poked his head out of the bathroom, took a look, and then went back in because the door was too cold.
Ouyang said sheepishly: "Well, I have some bacon at home, I'll give you some."
After saying that, he handed over the thing in his hand.
Gu Ye knew Chu An's temper and pushed back hastily, "Brother Ouyang, it's not easy for anyone right now. Just a happy new year from you is enough. We can't take the things."
"Not much, just a thank you for helping me over the past six months."
There really wasn't much meat on this piece, not even as big as the palm of his hand, but now that he had the meat, it was really not easy for him to be willing to give it away.
"Brother Ouyang, we really can't take your stuff." Gu Ye tried to hold him back, "You can keep it."
Chu An washed up, put on his down jacket and came out. Looking at the two people arguing in front of him, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem...Brother Ouyang, take the things back. We really don't need them."
Now that we have settled down, we can get along the way we want.
As soon as Chu An spoke, Ouyang gave up. He understood that no matter how the relationship between the two sides eased, it would never be as good as before.
"Xiao An, I came up this time to say goodbye to you. I plan to take the remaining people in the building to build a base."
Building a base?
There are quite a few elderly, weak, women and children in the building.
"Building the base is very hard. Aunt Li can't even get off the land. Here you can get food for free every month. Have you really thought it through?"
Ouyang's decision surprised her.
