Xia Zhiyao, Xia Zhaoning and Xia Qingyu prepared dinner together.
Everyone was tired after traveling all the way, so after dinner and a shower, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Zhao and Han Chengwu had a good relationship, so Song Qingyun directly let them live in the same house, both in the front yard, and the house in the backyard remained empty.
Song Qingyun and Xia Weian had a lot to say. Although they corresponded, some things were not clear in the letters, and they were afraid of worrying each other, so they did not discuss many things in detail.
The night was as dark as water. After Xia Weian and Song Qingyun turned off the lights, they entered the space together.
"Did Chen Zhihe go back?" Song Qingyun asked.
Xia Weian nodded.
"He took our Suihe medicine and recovered very quickly. He stayed at home for another week and passed away when he felt he was fine."
"Brother Shen said he was busy with his own affairs for about a week, and then he signed him up to go to the countryside. I guess he should leave in the next two days."
"It's not bad. Going to the countryside is better than working in the black market."
Xia Weian sat down on the bed with Song Qingyun in his arms. "With Shen Zhihe's intelligence, he will definitely be able to seize the opportunity. Who knows, he might even become the richest man or something."
The two people smiled at each other.
"As long as he doesn't touch those dangerous things anymore. Has he gone to Wolf Howling Valley?" Song Qingyun asked.
"Yes, I took them there. They brought gas masks and protective suits. I also prepared one for me. We found a body just as we entered the miasma forest."
"Is it Wang Cui's relative?"
Song Qingyun suddenly thought of the cruelty in Wang Cui's eyes when she confronted the man.
At that time, Wang Cui pushed the man directly into the Wolf Howling Valley, and the man died soon after.
Xia Weian and Song Qingyun did not move the body, and the villagers living near that place would not go there.
That's why the body has been there all the time.
"Yes, that man."
"Two young soldiers, use wood to move him to the stretcher and carry him out. The body will be placed in the morgue at Brother Shen's place."
"After such a long period of exposure to the wind and sun, as well as the erosion of poisonous gas, his face has been rotted away beyond recognition, but the pattern of his clothes can still be seen."
"But it's useless. Everyone wears similar clothes these days, so we can only determine basic information like age and height."
"In Wolf Howling Valley, our comrades returned empty-handed and found nothing."
"So what did they say? Will they continue looking?" Song Qingyun asked.
"I think they're still planning to look for it. They've already found a place, so they won't take me with them next time."
"If we go hunting over there, we have to be careful not to run into them." Song Qingyun stretched his body.
"Um."
"Wang Cui makes me feel a little dangerous." Xia Weian reached out and hugged Song Qingyun in his arms.
They had been apart for too long. During this time, he had lived alone, feeling lonely. Now, hugging his wife...
Suddenly I don’t want to say anything else.
Song Qingyun was just about to say that he should find a way to lead the clues to Wang Cui... but Xia Weian came over.
Okay.
It is the same for old couples: a short separation makes the heart grow fonder.
The night is as gentle as water.
The next day, Song Qingyun overslept.
Xia Weian woke up early. Even though the children were on vacation, he still kept the habit of getting up early.
He moved Song Qingyun from the space to the kang, covered her with a quilt, and then got up and went out.
He closed the door gently.
Xia Ruokui and Xia Suihe were both sleeping.
Han Chengwu and Li Zhao got up early as they were used to their daily training.
Everyone spoke in low voices.
"Good morning, Dad."
"Good morning, Third Uncle."
"Good morning, godfather."
Xia Weian smiled at everyone.
"Dad, breakfast is ready." Xia Zhiyao said.
"Let's eat first. Your mother, elder sister and younger sister can eat when they wake up." Xia Weian invited everyone to the kitchen.
It is very cold in Qingshan Village now.
Everyone wore new cotton-padded clothes, and there was plenty of firewood at home, so every room was warm.
The kitchen is even better.
Xia Weian also made a floor stove, which he kept burning while eating, making the room warm.
Very comfortable.
After breakfast.
"If Third Uncle has any work to do, you can take care of me and Li Zhao. We are usually busy too."
"When your Third Aunt wakes up, we need to see what to buy for the New Year. We still have to visit relatives and friends during the New Year, so there are a lot of things to prepare." Xia Weian said, "We need to make a list."
"When they wake up, we have to clean up."
"Dad, what can we do now?" Xia Zhiyao asked.
Xia Weian thought for a moment and said, "Let's clean up our cellar first, take out all the things and put them together."
"Zhaoning and I can do this job." Xia Zhiyao said.
"Well, then Qingyu will help the sisters with their homework."
"Okay, Dad." Xia Qingyu responded.
Xia Weian looked at Han Chengwu and Li Zhao again, "Chengwu, take Xiaozhao around."
"Okay, Third Uncle." Han Chengwu also responded.
Han Chengwu decided to take Li Zhao for a walk in the mountains and chop some firewood before the heavy snow closed the mountains. It's okay to have more firewood, but if there is not enough, people will suffer.
Xia Changle: Ahhh, I also want to work, why didn’t my second sister choose me!
Xia Changle kept winking at Xia Zhiyao, and Xia Zhiyao raised her hand and rubbed her head hard.
"Xia Changle, you not only have to do your school homework, but you also have to finish the homework I assign to you."
Xia Changle: I am the most miserable little girl...
"I'm going to the county to pick up Lulu and Xuxu today." Xia Weian said.
"Is Lu Lu arriving today? Dad, I am Lu Lu's best friend. I have to go with you to pick him up, otherwise he will be sad if he doesn't see me the first time." Xia Changle immediately ran to Xia Weian.
Before Xia Weian could say anything, Xia Zhiyao grabbed Xia Changle by the collar.
"If your best-best friend knew your grades, he would definitely think carefully about whether being with you would lower his IQ."
Xia Changle: My second sister was heartbroken and didn’t hesitate.
"Second sister..."
"Please, I have to go pick up Lulu. I promised him."
Xia Changle clasped his hands together and looked at Xia Zhiyao with a pleading look.
"Do you really want to go?" Xia Zhiyao asked with a frown.
"Yeah! I want to think about it."
"The workload will be doubled. If you agree, go. If you don't agree, stay home." Xia Zhiyao said ruthlessly.
Xia Changle: I feel like my second sister wants to kill me...
Finally, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, "Double it, I'll double it. For Lulu, I'll fight for it."
Xia Zhiyao's lips curved into an almost invisible arc.
Li Zhao: Wow, my second sister is so smart! My fifth sister is so pitiful. She tried so hard but still couldn't jump out of her second sister's Five Finger Mountain.
Xia Changle's heart was still trembling when he sat in the back seat of Xia Weian's car.
When I see Lu Lu later, I must tell him how much I have sacrificed for him, woooo...
