It snowed all night long. The next morning, Ye Jin opened the window and saw the outside covered in snow.
She opened the door and ran out, followed by her grandmother in an apron from the kitchen.
"Jinjin, Jinjin, it's snowing so heavily outside and the weather is so cold, don't run around."
"Grandma, I'm not a child anymore. I know my limits."
Ye Jin originally wanted to build a snowman, but when she stepped into the yard, she found that the snow was almost up to her knees.
This snow is ridiculously thick!
It was almost impossible to go down the mountain in this kind of weather. The snow had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. Not being able to go down the mountain meant that she couldn't do business, and she couldn't raise 10,000 yuan within a week.
Ye Jin frowned tightly. She should have expected this situation to happen yesterday. If she hadn't replied then, she wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament.
But because of my arrival, my grandmother spent a lot of money and ate up all the food stored in her house.
If I hadn't returned in time, my grandmother would not have been able to survive without food at home.
No matter what, I have to come back this time, Ye Jin thought to himself.
There will be no regrets.
"I'm afraid it will snow again today."
Grandma's face was solemn. She looked up at the beams of the main room and saw that they had collapsed a little more.
The old house at home has not been repaired for a long time. Now the snow is so thick, I wonder if the rotten roof can still withstand it?
"This snow keeps falling. What's going to happen if it keeps falling like this?"
Ye Jin was also very anxious. The grandfather and grandson had their own thoughts, but they both eagerly hoped that the snow would stop soon.
But unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The sky was dark and heavy snow fell.
"It's snowing again. Let's go back to the house. I'll get you a kettle so you can warm it up in your hands."
The two were about to enter the house. Ye Jin had just walked to the door when he heard the sound of snow crunching not far away.
She turned around in confusion and saw Gu Yan carrying two loads of firewood on his shoulders and two dead rabbits hanging around his neck.
"I came here earlier and saw that there wasn't much firewood in your yard. It's cold now, and since you have elderly people and women at home, it's not convenient for you to do these things, so I brought some for you."
Gu Yan carried the firewood into the kitchen without anyone asking him to do so. He untied the bundled firewood and stacked it neatly beside the stove, sorting the large and small ones into different categories.
Grandma stood beside Ye Jin in silence, her cloudy old eyes staring at Gu Yan's every move.
Although this young man is young, he is very efficient and forward-looking. The key is that such a person is willing to be with her granddaughter, which forces her to consider it carefully.
Gu Yan did these things completely out of his own heart and never thought about any reward. He also never thought that because of his attentiveness, his grandmother had already put him on probation from the bottom of her heart.
Ye Jin's mind was clear as a mirror. How could he possibly be on his way here in such a cold day with such heavy firewood? Looking at the bloodshot in his eyes and his haggard face, it was clear that he was exhausted after a night of work.
He did so many things without saying a word. This man who was so subtle and gentle made her owe him a lot of favors without realizing it.
He put the rabbit hanging around his neck on the stove again.
"Last night's harvest was pretty good. Besides these two rabbits, we also killed a wild boar. The wild boar hasn't been killed yet, so I can't share it with you for now. Although these two rabbits are not as good as the wild boar, they are also very plump."
Gu Yan put down his things and prepared to leave. He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was pounding with nervousness.
He brought firewood without saying hello, and I wonder if this strong-willed girl would be unhappy?
"Would you like to eat spicy rabbit head?"
After asking this question, Ye Jin quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Gu Yan again.
"Did you make this? Eat!"
Gu Yan turned his head in surprise. His eyes were originally dark and bright, but now the light in his eyes was so bright that it could burn people's eyes.
"I did it! You rest here for a while while I get busy in the kitchen."
Ye Jin rarely cooks by herself, but today she is eager to cook a meal for Gu Yan.
In this cold winter, Gu Yan kept to himself. Even as the New Year was approaching, he was not seen getting close to any of his relatives.
I don't know where this person came from, are his parents and family still alive? Why could they be so cruel to such an outstanding man?
Ye Jin carried the dead rabbit into the kitchen and was immediately troubled again.
She had never killed a rabbit, not even a fish. The kitchen knife at home was sharpened to a shine, and she only used it to cut pork and beef.
Ye Jin was just thinking about it when a white rabbit's leg suddenly bulged. Ye Jin was stunned. This rabbit had been hanging on Gu Yan's shoulder for a long time, but it was still breathing. Its vitality was really strong.
She pondered with the kitchen knife for a while, holding the rabbit's head with her left hand and holding the kitchen knife high with her right hand. There were only her and her grandmother at home, and if she didn't do the rough work of killing chickens and ducks herself, then her grandmother would have to do it.
"Do you need help? Since you can't do it, let me do it."
Gu Yan took the rabbit, peeled the skin off it in no time, washed it and cut it into pieces.
He did his job efficiently and effectively, and Ye Jin only needed to help out on the side, and he harvested a large pot of rabbit meat and two intact rabbit skins.
These two rabbits, one white and one gray, are both quite fat. Their fur can be made into scarves and gloves, or saved as fur collars for winter clothes in the future.
After dealing with the rabbit, the next thing will be easy. Ye Jin asked Gu Yan to rest outside, and she closed the kitchen door and worked alone inside.
Soon, bursts of fragrance came from the kitchen. Gu Yan was already a little hungry, and now his mouth was full of salivation.
Half an hour later, the kitchen door was opened and Ye Jin walked out quickly holding an enamel bowl.
There was a large bowl of stewed rabbit meat in the enamel bowl, and the rich aroma filled the whole room.
Two spicy rabbit heads were specially placed next to where Gu Yan was sitting, and a plate of green vegetables was stir-fried until they were juicy and green.
These three simple home-cooked dishes are all cooked to a delicious taste, making people's mouths water at the sight.
Gu Yan was not a person who cared much for food. He hadn't had breakfast in the first place, and Ye Jin cooked such delicious dishes. However, he felt hungrier and hungrier as he looked at the dishes.
Grandma brought the fragrant rice to the table and specially changed a big bowl for Gu Yan, filling it up completely.
"Thank you for the firewood, young man. You've worked hard. You should eat more."
There were three people in the family, but there were only two spicy rabbit heads. No one picked up their chopsticks, and Gu Yan didn't even look at them. Ye Jin picked up a spicy rabbit head and put it in front of Gu Yan.
"Try my special dish."
"You've worked hard all morning, you should eat."
Gu Yan put the rabbit head into Ye Jin's bowl again. The two of them pushed it for a long time. Grandma put down her chopsticks and put the remaining rabbit head into Ye Jin's bowl.
"You guys can eat the rabbit head. I'm not used to it."
