"Here." Li Xin peeled a White Rabbit milk candy and handed it to He Beichen's mouth.
"Eat it." He Beichen didn't like candy very much. "It's for you."
"It's for us."
He Beichen: "..."
He still opened his mouth and ate it, and the first sip was of the milky taste.
However, it tastes quite good when fed by my wife.
"Are my parents' graves far away?" Li Xin looked at the village road that had turned white because no one had cleared the snow.
I feel like I can't even recognize the road anymore.
"Not bad." He Beichen paused and added, "For me."
"What do you mean?" Li Xin glanced at him sideways, "Are you saying my legs are short?"
He Beichen: "..."
He didn't say that!
Although compared to his, Li Xin's legs are indeed much shorter.
"What I mean is that you're wearing so much that it might be difficult for you to walk." He Beichen noticed Li Xin's displeasure and quickly tried to make amends.
"I can walk."
He Beichen: "..."
His stubborn daughter-in-law.
He Beichen's parents passed away early and were buried as close to their home as possible. Later, when He Beichen joined the army, his house was taken away.
Li Xin looked at the mountain in front of him and fell silent.
"Didn't you say you could walk?" He Beichen saw that she was silent, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking. He suddenly laughed and said, "Do you want me to carry you?"
"Need not."
This damn man is blatantly provoking her!
Li Xin has not only been drinking health tea recently, but also doing some exercise. She thinks she has no problem climbing a mountain.
Besides...
It's just halfway up the mountain.
Two hours later.
Li Xin panted and squatted on a rock. "No, no... How far is it?"
She still thinks too highly of herself. Her clothes weigh several kilograms. It is like she is climbing a mountain with a heavy load. It is so tiring.
"About twenty minutes."
Li Xin took a short break and then continued walking with He Beichen.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, He Beichen pointed to two graves not far ahead to Li Xin.
Perhaps because the wind and snow were so strong last night, the two graves were covered with white snow, and from a distance they seemed to have merged with the hilltop.
"Those two in front are them."
"It seems that there are only my parents..." Li Xin looked around. There were no other graves, only He Jincheng and Yu Manman.
"Um."
He Beichen took out some incense from his pocket. The weather was not suitable for burning paper money, so He Beichen simply burned some incense.
"Mom and Dad, Xinxin and I are here to see you." He Beichen lit three incense sticks and placed them in front of the two graves.
Li Xin also lit three incense sticks, bowed three times, and solemnly called "Mom and Dad". Then he placed the incense sticks next to He Beichen's incense.
"Xinxin, Xinxin, let's go."
He Beichen stood quietly in front of the grave for a while, then spoke to Li Xin.
"Are you leaving now? Don't you want to stay with your parents for a while?" He Beichen was gone for three days last time. Li Xin guessed that he might have a lot to say to them.
Are you only staying for a short while today?
"It doesn't matter. It's too cold. If it snows more and the mountain road freezes, it will be even harder for you to walk." The current weather doesn't allow it. The mountain road is already difficult to walk on, and if it freezes again, Li Xin can just roll down.
"good."
Li Xin thought about it and it made sense. It was difficult for her to move since she was wrapped like this. She might fall and get He Beichen in trouble.
Going down the mountain is harder than going up. Seeing that Li Xin was walking cautiously, He Beichen simply carried her on his back and walked down the mountain steadily.
"Am I heavy?" Li Xin asked.
“Not heavy.”
Although it is a bit heavier than last year, it is still not enough for He Beichen who often does weight training.
When they reached the village entrance, they got into the car.
They drove back to Guangyuan Village near dusk. As soon as they parked the car, Li Xin smelled a fragrance. It seemed that Sanmao was already preparing dinner.
"Mom and Dad, we're back." Li Xin pushed open the door. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"You're back, go wash your hands." Su Miao saw Li Xin and He Beichen coming back and hurriedly greeted them, "I made dumplings today."
It is a custom in the north to eat dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"They are all made by Sanmao. They look so beautiful." Su Miao held up the plate of dumplings in his hand and showed it to Li Xin.
As a robot, Sanmao makes dumplings like an assembly line, and the dumplings are all the same size.
"Okay, okay." Li Xin hadn't eaten dumplings for a long time.
Su Jinrong poured hot water for them to wash their hands.
"Xinxin, I have to say this. I think having Sanmao around is so convenient!" Su Minghao handed Li Xin a bar of soap. "She even knows how to make dumplings. This New Year is so relaxing."
Because of Li Jiuyuan and Su Miao's work, when they were young, the twins could only reunite with their parents during the Chinese New Year. In the past, during the Chinese New Year...
It wasn't a chaotic situation, but it was definitely a mess.
After all, the couple is devoted to scientific research and has no spare time to learn how to cook. The New Year’s Eve dinner is usually made by the four of them working together in the kitchen.
Fortunately, it won’t kill people.
Later, I joined the army and spent every festival and holiday with my comrades. This was the first time I had a formal New Year's Eve dinner like this.
Now that Sanmao is here, the twins instantly feel that this year has been complete!
"Isn't it?"
"If high-tech robots like Sanmao were mass-produced, our country's economy would surely be able to advance several levels, right?"
"It's possible, but our country's current technological level isn't up to the task." Li Xin thought for a moment, "I'll get some equipment out when we return to the capital."
Although Li Xin can only produce a few devices for the time being, the influence will definitely not be small. If he can help the Capital Research Institute develop more things, surpassing the United States will be just around the corner.
"What are you three brothers and sisters talking about here? It's time for dinner. Let's go eat dumplings!" Sanmao had already cooked the dumplings. As soon as the steaming dumplings came out of the pot, the air was filled with fragrance.
"Okay." Li Xin responded.
Sanmao diligently brought the dumplings to the table, and prepared vinegar, soy sauce, etc. in each person's bowl, adding a little chili according to everyone's taste.
Zhenzhen is a qualified little maid.
"What do you want to watch today?" Sanmao asked obediently standing aside when she saw that they had already started eating.
"Let's play one of the old New Year's films."
Li Xin recalled that on the first day of the Lunar New Year in future generations, there were always many movies released, mostly comedies, which he could watch.
"Okay~"
Sanmao turned on her home video and selected from a huge number of blockbusters.
Huh?
