When the first snow fell, it happened to be Saturday,
Jin Zichu told them he had something to do the day before, and although he left his key with them, neither brother nor sister went. Xu Manman went straight home after the fourth class.
Chen Ming was too lazy to go there at noon, so he just stayed in the study room. After class in the afternoon, he didn't stay in school, but rode his bike back directly.
When he came back, Xu Manman had lit the stove in the east wing and was curled up on the sofa chatting online with Xiao Jin from Hong Kong.
Hearing the doorbell, she got up, put on her military coat, and went outside to open the door, which she had locked when she came back.
"Cousin, you're back." The weather was getting colder and colder, and you could see the hot air coming out of her mouth as she spoke.
"Well, when I passed the street ahead, I happened to see some freshly baked roast ducks. I ordered one and brought back the duck bones as well." Chen Ming pushed the cart into the carport and took a net bag off the handlebars.
Xu Manman took it and said, "I'll make some spring rolls tonight. The duck bones are perfect for stewing soup. Adding some radish won't make it so greasy."
"Let me do it. You go back to the house first and be careful not to catch a cold."
Although there is an iron stove in the east wing, Xu Manman doesn't like the smell of oil smoke in the house, so she usually just boils some hot water and makes some tea in the stove.
Cooking is usually still done in the kitchen, but fortunately there is a fire so it is quite warm. Besides, it is cold now and both of them are too lazy to make too much trouble. We only eat a few meals at home a week and the food is not complicated.
When the two of them drank the hot duck bone and radish soup, Xu Manman saw the snowflakes falling outside through the window.
"Ah, it's snowing."
Chen Ming turned around. He had just done it with his back to the window. "When you heat the kang at night, add thicker firewood and prepare an extra quilt. In case the fire goes out, you won't freeze."
Xu Manman swallowed the radish in her mouth and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I won't be cold. But do you have enough quilts?" She always slept in the space at night, so she would never be cold.
It was the first snow of this year. After dinner, Xu Manman turned on the lights in the yard, held a hand warmer she bought at the flea market, wrapped in a military coat, and sat under the porch to enjoy the snow.
The falling snowflakes are particularly clear under the light, and the warm light also adds a warm filter to them.
Chen Ming didn't seem to be in tune with Xu Manman's artistic spirit at the moment. He looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and frowned. "If it keeps snowing this heavily, I won't be able to ride my bike anymore, right?"
Xu Manman withdrew her gaze from the snow and said, "If there is snow on the road, someone will clear it. At least the main road should still be passable." After all, this is Beijing City. It is incomparable to the villages they had visited before.
"I'll go out and take a look tomorrow. If it's too serious, you won't be able to ride your bike then."
"Oh well."
"It's cold outside, don't stay here and get some cold air. It's almost time to go back to the house. I'll heat up the kang for you and I'll turn off the stove here."
Okay, the mood of enjoying the snow is just for a moment. It will be really cold after a long time. Xu Manman didn’t plan to sit there for long.
Before Xu Manman reached the corridor on the main side of the house, she heard Chen Ming say from behind, "Manman, if you want to wash up, it's better to do it early. The water will cool down quickly if the temperature is too low."
"Okay, cousin." Xu Manman responded directly without turning around.
When she opened the door, she shivered at the warmth inside. It was because she had just been sitting outside for too long. This shows that not everyone can be a literary youth.
Back in the room, Xu Manman made herself a basin of water for soaking her feet. Now that she lived in the main house, there was no one to give her a foot massage, so she had to rely on herself for everything.
"Xiao Jin, are you done?"
Jin Yinan ran around Hong Kong all day today. Before Chen Ming came back, the two were chatting about what they had seen and heard along the way.
"Manman, I'm done here. Have you had dinner?" The money from several accounts was transferred yesterday. One million and five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars was in place and was taken directly to the VIP client room.
I ignored the staff's recommendations on several stocks with good market performance and operated on my own. I selected several medium- and long-term stocks with one million yuan and used the remaining 500,000 yuan for short-term trading. There will be ups and downs in the future, but of course there will be more ups.
It is all arranged strictly according to the host's rules of development, but the speed of making money is a bit slow. According to this trend, it will take half a year to buy a villa halfway up the mountain for the host.
