As soon as Chuchu opened the curtain of the hall, she saw Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing, and immediately rushed out excitedly.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Qin Qingman looked at Chuchu's running posture and quickly reminded her that there was snow on the ground and if they were not careful, they might fall and even slide a long way.
"Got it, sis."
Chu Chu agreed very well, but did not stop running.
He had been running around with the kids in the village with the wolf cub every day recently, and had completely lost his experience.
His feet were extremely fast, but his body was extremely stable.
Huang Wanqing hadn't seen Chuchu for more than two months. She was shocked when she saw Chuchu again. Chuchu's changes were even more obvious than Qin Qingman's.
Not only did the child grow taller, but his cheeks also became fuller.
It can be said that the appearance has changed drastically.
"Is this Chuchu?" Before Huang Wanqing could even see the wolf cub rushing towards her, her eyes were fixed on Chuchu and she couldn't take her eyes off her.
"Everyone in my family has been drinking goat's milk recently, so the changes are a little bit big." Qin Qingman knew what Huang Wanqing was surprised about.
“No wonder.”
Huang Wanqing was from Beijing, where drinking cow's milk and goat's milk had long been popular. When she learned that Chuchu's change was due to goat's milk, she immediately understood.
“Awoooooo——”
Chu Chu can't outrun the four-legged wolf cub.
Since the wolf cub grew up a little, his legs and feet have become stronger. When he runs at full speed, not only Chu Chu can't catch up with him, even Wei Ling can't catch up with him without using martial arts.
So the wolf cub ran to Qin Qingman first.
The young man did not rush towards Qin Qingman when he ran closer. Instead, he stopped suddenly and looked at Huang Wanqing warily, sniffing her with his nose.
"Don't smell it, they are all family members."
Qin Qingman knew that the wolf cub was very vigilant, so she simply signaled Huang Wanqing to put down the willow basket in her hand, and then picked up the wolf cub.
"What a cute little dog." Huang Wanqing didn't recognize the wolf cub as a wolf.
“It’s called Dudu.”
Qin Qingman introduced the wolf cub to Huang Wanqing, but did not tell her the wolf cub's true identity.
Most people are afraid of wolves, so there is no need for her to scare Huang Wanqing.
"Dudu, this is Wanqing. We are a family. Don't bully Wanqing." Qin Qingman introduced the wolf cub to Huang Wanqing, and of course she also had to introduce Huang Wanqing to the wolf cub. After saying this, she even grabbed Huang Wanqing's hand and placed it on the wolf cub's back.
The wolf cub is very vigilant. If not, not only would he not get close to Huang Wanqing, he might even cause trouble.
The wolf cub did not feel the slightest bit of enjoyment at the strange hand touching his back.
His whole body was tense, every hair stood up, and his whole body was telling of resistance.
After all, it was a completely unfamiliar smell to Huang Wanqing.
"Dudu's fur feels so good to touch." Huang Wanqing thought the wolf cub's fur was soft, but it turned out not to be soft at all, and each strand of fur was distinct. Yet it didn't prickly, and was extremely smooth, like satin.
"Sister Wanqing."
At this time, Chuchu ran to Qin Qingman and the other child, and the child greeted Huang Wanqing very politely.
He knew that Qin Qingman went out today to pick up Huang Wanqing to come home to celebrate the New Year.
"Chu Chu." Huang Wanqing's attention was diverted. She looked at the child who was looking up at her, and touched Chu Chu's head in a good mood.
After several months of nutritional supplements, my once dull and yellow hair has turned mostly black, if not completely black.
The touch is completely different from touching a wolf cub, it is soft.
"Let's go home first."
Qin Qingman saw the whole family outside and hurried over.
It's very cold, with ice and snow everywhere. Of course, home is a more suitable place to reminisce.
"Sister, let me hold Dudu." When Chuchu saw the large basket of vegetables on the ground, she knew she couldn't help, so she didn't make trouble. Instead, she took the initiative to offer the task of looking after the wolf cub.
"Okay, you hold it."
Qin Qingman stuffed the wolf cub into Chuchu's arms, and then she and Huang Wanqing picked up the willow basket again and walked home.
"Sister, where did these dishes come from? They look so beautiful."
The Qin family had a much better winter this year than in previous years. Not only did they have a new stove, they also had coal and even a boiler that could heat water. Their winter was very warm this year, and they used jars filled with soil to grow a lot of vegetables in several rooms.
There were leeks, garlic sprouts, green onions, and Chinese cabbage, but the quantity was definitely not as much as the box of vegetables that Qin Qingman brought back for Yinhua.
The child looked at the vegetables excitedly as he walked.
When the snow covers the ground, everyone wants to see more green.
Qin Qingman heard the child ask, and did not hide it, saying, "It was given to me by Sister Meiqin from the farm."
"Mikoto-sister is so nice." Chuchu praised happily.
"Well, Sister Miqin is a nice person." Qin Qingman admired the character of Zheng Miqin's family.
Huang Wanqing also thought of Zheng Meiqin and said, "Qingman, Comrade Zheng Meiqin was very nice to me on the farm. Sometimes she would even help me. Although they were small matters, I might not have figured it out without her help."
Qin Qingman did not say that Zheng Meiqin helped Huang Wanqing at her request. She smiled and said, "Sister Meiqin's family is good and worth getting along with."
"I remember that."
Huang Wanqing believed in Qin Qingman's vision.
Also because of Qin Qingman, she felt that everyone in the farm who was born in Kaoshantun was hardworking and had good character.
After the new year, there will be many new positions in the farm that can consider these employees from Kaoshantun. Although Huang Wanqing does not have much power as the deputy director Zhou Bangguo, she still has some priority.
While chatting and laughing, several people entered the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Huang Wanqing immediately felt something was different.
It became warmer in the Qin family's house.
Not only is it warm, but there are also many new changes.
In the yard, she had seen not only dairy sheep in the sheepfold, but also a lot of coal, a refrigerator made of ice, and even heating pipes.
Currently, there are only two cities in the country that have full heating.
One is the capital, and the other is Shenyang, an important city in the north.
"Wanqing, take off your cotton coat quickly. It's too warm at home. It's not good for you to wear too many clothes." Qin Qingman reminded Huang Wanqing while taking off her cotton coat.
“Hey.”
Huang Wanqing immediately and obediently hung the package on the hanger, then took off her cotton coat, but she carefully glanced at the east and west rooms.
"A Ling hasn't gotten off work yet. I guess they all have to work tomorrow and won't be back for the New Year's Eve dinner until the afternoon." Qin Qingman saw Huang Wanqing's actions, knew the reason, and explained.
"Um."
Huang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the explanation.
She didn't know why, but she seemed to be born a little afraid of Wei Ling. Even if Wei Ling didn't show any expression on his face, she would subconsciously feel afraid and nervous.
"A Ling agrees to recognize you as his sister. From now on, we are a family. You don't have to be too restrained in your own home. Wanqing, don't worry, A Ling has no objection to you." Qin Qingman knew what was in Huang Wanqing's heart.
Huang Wanqing's face suddenly turned red.
She explained with great embarrassment: "Qingman, I don't know why, but I was scared the first time I saw Brother Wei. I was scared from the bottom of my heart."
"A Ling is a very gentle person." Qin Qingman had to defend Wei Ling.
"Well, I know you and Brother Wei are both good people. You have helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I would still be cleaning the cowshed. Qingman, thank you and Brother Wei."
Huang Wanqing had always wanted to say thank you to Qin Qingman, and finally found the opportunity.
"Wanqing, this is all just a coincidence. You don't have to take it too seriously." Qin Qingman took Huang Wanqing to wash her hands.
The first thing their family does when they get home is wash their hands.
This was a habit she developed in her later generations, and it continued naturally in this era. Several people in her family were also influenced by her.
Chuchu and the wolf cub, who were the first to run in, had already washed their paws. Chuchu even cleverly changed the water for them to wash their hands.
"Qingman, coming back here, I feel like I'm back home, with the warmth and comfort of home." Huang Wanqing was truly relaxed when she arrived at the Qin's house, and she felt even more relaxed when she knew Wei Ling was not at home.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"
After washing her hands, Qin Qingman led Huang Wanqing to the stove to warm herself by the fire.
Chuchu was at home with the wolf cub. The fire in their house was not turned off, so it was red at this time.
"Qingman, I didn't feel hungry until you said it. As soon as you said it, I felt especially hungry." Huang Wanqing touched her belly and smiled at Qin Qingman without any restraint. When she arrived at the Qin family, she seemed to have become the lady of the Qin family.
"Sister Wanqing, there are two buns left at home. They were just steamed this morning. In addition to the buns, there is also blood enema." Chuchu, who had poured hot water, said while serving water to Huang Wanqing and the others.
Huang Wanqing originally wanted to say she wanted to eat steamed buns, but when she heard about blood enema, she asked in surprise, "How do you eat blood enema?"
"Roast it."
Chuchu smiled happily.
I even looked over the willow baskets against the wall. The batch of tofu I had made earlier had all fermented in the warm room and was ready to eat.
Qin Qingman saw Chuchu's greed and thought that the child might be worried that she didn't eat much at noon, so she said, "Chuchu, go and squeeze some goat milk. I'll bake some blood enema and hairy tofu. Let's have a good meal today."
"I'll be right there!"
Chuchu immediately ran to the kitchen excitedly, picked up a bucket and went to milk the sheep.
There is no stove in the kitchen and no fire is burned. The temperature inside the house is only a few degrees lower than that outside. It is just right to put the bucket for milking goat milk in the kitchen so that bacteria will not grow due to the high temperature.
“Awoooooo——”
As soon as the wolf cub saw Chuchu carrying the milk bucket, he knew that Chuchu was going to milk the goat, and immediately followed happily.
"Qingman, what can I do?"
Huang Wanqing had no intention of treating herself as a guest and was very active in looking for work to do.
"You wash the dishes later." Qin Qingman had no intention of treating Huang Wanqing like a princess, so she arranged the tasks naturally.
"Okay, I'll wash the dishes."
Huang Wanqing didn't feel offended at all, but was particularly happy.
She followed Qin Qingman, looking left and right, and figured out the locations of many things in the Qin family, so that when Qin Qingman needed help, she could help as soon as she asked. Then she saw the blood enema in Chuchu's mouth.
It was the first time for her to see blood enema with glutinous rice, and she was very interested in the taste of this enema.
In addition to cutting the sausage and roasting it in a frying pan, Qin Qingman also put two steamed buns that had long been frozen into lumps of ice on the frying pan, and then began to pick up the tofu.
"It's hairy!"
Like Chuchu, Huang Wanqing was immediately shocked when she saw tofu growing hair for the first time.
"Yes, that's why it's called hairy tofu. It will be very delicious when dipped in chili powder after it's baked." Qin Qingman patiently introduced hairy tofu to Huang Wanqing, who was seeing it for the first time. She even told Huang Wanqing an interesting story about how several people in her family became fascinated with hairy tofu after they ate it for the first time.
"So you just ordered some tofu to make hairy tofu after we finished eating?"
Huang Wanqing looked at Mao Tofu with even more curiosity.
She has a very high acceptance of food ingredients. Whenever she thinks of Qin Qingman's cooking skills, she becomes very enthusiastic about new and exotic foods.
Grilling food does not require a particularly fast time, slow grilling is the key.
Qin Qingman's cake wasn't finished yet when Chuchu came in with a bucket of milk.
"Chuchu, go to the west room and stew the goat milk on the stove. I'll chop some meat for Dudu."
Qin Qingman took out the thawed meat and started chopping it while instructing Chuchu. Since the wolf cub started eating meat, its demand for goat milk has decreased a lot. Now, every meal is a mixture of meat and milk, and three meals a day is enough to meet the demand.
"Does your dog eat meat?"
Huang Wanqing was shocked when she saw Qin Qingman chopping meat.
Even though she was from Beijing, her family was well off and many people in her family worked, but even so, it was impossible for them to eat meat every day. So when she saw Qin Qingman feeding the wolf cub with meat, she was really shocked.
The Qin family lives better than anyone else in the capital!
Qin Qingman couldn't tell Huang Wanqing that the wolf cub was a wolf, so she could only explain vaguely, "Dudu is a little special. He needs to eat meat and goat's milk for the time being."
"oh."
Huang Wanqing was sensible enough not to ask any further questions. Instead, she used chopsticks to naturally turn the food in the pan.
Grilled food needs to be turned over frequently, otherwise it will get burnt easily.
Qin Qingman smelled the aroma of food wafting from the frying pan, glanced at the sky outside the window, and estimated that it was about three o'clock in the afternoon. Thinking that it would be dark in less than an hour, she simply cut some more pork belly and washed some vegetables.
They're not cooking dinner today, so just add these things to some batter and bake a few spring rolls and they'll be full.
"Qingman, this hairy tofu is really delicious."
Huang Wanqing's eyes became brighter and brighter as she flipped the food in the frying pan.
She smelled the combined aromas of various foods.
It can be said that the aroma is refreshing.
"It tastes better if you grill some pork belly." Qin Qingman put the large slices of pork belly into the frying pan.
The pork belly is cut thinly and curls up naturally quickly when placed on the frying pan.
Qin Qingman added some leeks and potato chips, and the fat was immediately absorbed by the vegetables.
By this time, both Qin Qingman and Chuchu had finished their work, and the brother and sister returned to the frying pan carrying three bowls of fragrant goat milk.
"Wanqing, try the goat's milk." Qin Qingman naturally handed one of the bowls to Huang Wanqing.
After the wolf cubs drank less goat's milk, the milk produced by the ewe was enough for their family to drink, and sometimes there was even some left over.
"What a fragrant goat milk! Not even a fishy smell at all." Huang Wanqing was shocked when she took the bowl.
This was the least smelly goat milk she had ever seen, completely different from her impression of it.
"It's made with almonds and cooked using a special method. It's not only fragrant but also has no smell." Qin Qingman took a sip of goat's milk with satisfaction. The warm goat's milk not only warmed her body but also soothed her slightly hungry stomach.
“It’s delicious. Very delicious.”
After Huang Wanqing drank a mouthful of goat's milk, her eyes lit up like the stars in the sky.
"Sister Wanqing, please try the food. Everything is delicious. There is no best, only better." Chuchu had already reached for the frying pan with chopsticks. He had grilled food in a frying pan with Qin Qingman before, so he knew how to use chopsticks.
"Wanqing, don't be polite, try them all."
Qin Qingman took the lead and put a piece of hairy tofu into Huang Wanqing's bowl.
She thought this dish was the rarest, so she recommended Huang Wanqing to eat hairy tofu first.
"Okay, I'll try it." Huang Wanqing unceremoniously picked up the hairy tofu and followed Chuchu's example to dip it into the dried chili powder. Qin Qingman had added a lot of spices to the chili powder. "How can this tofu be so delicious?"
"Sister Wanqing, try this pork belly again. It's not greasy at all and is especially delicious." Chuchu also picked up some food for Huang Wanqing.
"Uh-huh."
After that, Huang Wanqing no longer cared about anything else and just focused on eating hard.
Even roasted leeks are delicious.
Seeing that Huang Wanqing was enjoying her meal, Qin Qingman stopped paying attention to her and instead focused on adding ingredients to the frying pan.
The meal they had today was equivalent to barbecue in later generations.
The whole family was extremely satisfied with the meal, even the wolf cub who was squatting beside them drinking milk and eating meat was eating very happily.
Wolves are originally afraid of fire. Since living with the Qin family, the wolf cub is still afraid of fire instinctively, but dares to stay close to the stove. The wolf cub is very smart and will follow Qin Qingman and others and learn from them.
Just as Huang Wanqing and Qin Qingman were enjoying a feast, at Hongqi Farm, Gao Yefang looked at the locked door and cursed Huang Wanqing over and over again in her heart.
Originally, she thought that the person who came to see Huang Wanqing had a grudge against Huang Wanqing.
As a result, the more she listened under the bed, the more she felt something was wrong. No matter how she listened, she didn't feel that Qin Qingman had any intention of harming Huang Wanqing, and Huang Wanqing not only did not resist Qin Qingman, but there was even an unconscious intimacy in her tone.
She realized something was wrong and wanted to rush out from under the bed.
But feeling the low height of the bed and smelling the dust, she finally did not rush out.
Gao Yefang didn't know why Huang Wanqing wanted to humiliate her like this.
But she didn't want anyone to see her vicious side. If word got out that she was hiding under Huang Wanqing's bed, it would probably spread all over the farm in no time. For the sake of face and to get to the bottom of what happened, Gao Yefang swallowed her anger while Qin Qingman was still around.
Then, we received the shocking news that Huang Wanqing happily went home with Qin Qingman to celebrate the New Year.
Before Gao Yefang could come to her senses, Huang Wanqing left, and not only left, she also locked the door.
Looking at the small dormitory, Gao Yefang kicked the door angrily.
The door is locked, how can she get out!
Gao Yefang became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She couldn't help but search Huang Wanqing's dormitory, turning over all the cabinets, boxes, and even the bed sheets.
Huang Wanqing didn't find anything good, so she just left behind a few pieces of clothing.
Although the clothes look new, they have all been worn before.
This made Gao Yefang even angrier.
Looking at the warm room, she didn't plan to leave. Anyway, she was assigned an eight-person room, which was not as comfortable as Huang Wanqing's single dormitory. Besides being warm, she didn't have to share a kang with others.
Gao Yefang showed a look of disgust when she thought of her dormitory.
She was unlucky and was only assigned to a room with eight people, and they had to sleep on a brick bed. Not to mention the inconvenience, the tempers and smells of each person were unbearable enough.
Some people may appear to be clean and tidy when they go out, but they are actually not that clean in private.
Not only does he go to bed without brushing his teeth, washing his face or feet at night, he even farts after falling asleep.
The fragrance and the stench were all mixed together, and she felt like she was about to vomit.
And she didn't know what was going on with the people in her dormitory. No matter how hard she tried to make friends with them, they seemed to keep a distance from her and no one really opened up to her.
Gao Yefang didn't know what was going on, and she disliked the people in the dormitory even more.
Now that Huang Wanqing is gone, there is no one in the dormitory. She plans to live in Huang Wanqing's dormitory temporarily. Why should she squeeze with so many people when she can live alone?
Gao Yefang's idea is beautiful, but there are also practical problems.
That's the door lock. How does she solve the problem of eating and going to the toilet?
Feeling dissatisfied with Huang Wanqing, Gao Yefang shifted her gaze to the window. This dormitory was on the first floor, so it wasn't difficult to climb out.
After taking precautions, Gao Yefang tidied up the room with peace of mind.
She put all the things back in their places and even swept the floor.
Just as Gao Yefang was making her wishful thinking, someone was looking at the dormitory not far from the window. It was Wan Liang.
Wan Liang, who has been working in the cowshed, is going crazy. He desperately wants to leave that disgusting place.
