Cheng Feiyue and He Yunzhen exchanged a smile. Who would have thought that moving out was such a wise decision?
I had originally planned to help the child out, but I was tired of the bullying and indifference.
I just didn't expect things to turn out this way.
I didn't have high expectations; I just wanted to come out and live with my child.
I'm still very worried about you after being apart for so long.
Little did they expect that such a decision would bring them such a big surprise.
He Yunzhen deftly wrapped the buns in her hands, thinking about the events of the past few days, and couldn't help but smile.
The children are all well, everything is fine.
Seeing the happy family, he wrapped the buns even faster.
Today I made steamed buns with shiitake mushroom and pork filling, spicy vermicelli filling, ham and bamboo shoot filling, and one with jellyfish filling.
With He Yunzhen's help, the buns were wrapped very quickly.
Steamed buns need to be made by hand, but mantou (steamed bread) doesn't.
After Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin kneaded the dough and let it rest, Shao Jie and Cheng Feiyue started making steamed buns.
After Meng Yang chopped the filling, he and Zheng Yongnian started boiling water and cooking rice.
The cooked rice is to be made into rice balls; these are all for stockpiling food.
Li Xiao, Tian Tian, and Qiu Fengyu were picking and washing vegetables, which they would stir-fry after steaming the buns and mantou.
We've marinated a lot of fish pieces, and the quantity of fish is quite considerable; we need to clear out the inventory.
We also need to make some shrimp today.
After I finish this busy period, I can grab a late-night snack to relax.
That's a good idea.
Li Xiao efficiently emptied the storage container; anything of considerable quantity was taken out and processed.
Radishes, potatoes, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, bok choy, cabbage, lettuce, peppers, winter melon, pumpkin...
They were scattered all over the ground.
Looking at the various ingredients, Cheng Feiyue and He Yunzhen were both dumbfounded.
These ingredients look like they were just picked and are very fresh.
The color is crisp and bright green, and you can almost squeeze water out of it.
Neither of them looked dejected; both of them were utterly shocked.
They initially thought it was something they had stored in their spatial storage, but now it seems that's not the case.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like it was just picked from the ground.
Seeing that everyone else seemed completely unfazed, the two quickly shut their mouths again.
If no one is surprised, then why should they be?
Suppressing my shock, I quickly got to work.
While working, Li Xiao also had to keep an eye on what was happening outside.
The situation outside is not peaceful right now, so we must remain vigilant.
Fortunately, there was no commotion outside tonight; it seemed quite peaceful.
Tiny snowflakes fell from the sky, fluttering and dancing in the wind.
The north wind still howled, and it still sounded eerie to my ears.
Outside, the wind howled, but inside, it was warm and cozy.
Several stoves were turned on at the same time, and the heat filled the entire space.
Everyone worked together, and the results were remarkable.
"Okay, finally finished."
Shao Jie sat down and took a few sips of water, but despite the cold weather, he was sweating profusely.
"Enough to eat for a while."
Xiao Peng tidied up the last bit of the mess, and soon sat down to rest.
"Are you done? Do you still want some late-night snack?"
Li Xiaoxiao looked at everyone who was exhausted and asked.
"Eat, how can we not eat!" Shao Jie immediately stood up, walked to the table, grabbed a crayfish, and started pulling on its tail.
Seeing that Shao Jie had already left, Tian Tian was not to be outdone, so she quickly got up and skipped over.
With these two taking the lead, the others couldn't sit still any longer. The aroma of crayfish was simply too irresistible; no one could resist it.
"Come on, Yue-ge, let's go together." Meng Yang called to Cheng Feiyue and pulled him over.
"Wow, who would have thought we'd be able to eat crayfish at this time of year?"
"Haha, yeah. This stuff is best in the summer, it's absolutely amazing with beer."
Cheng Feiyue nodded, "That's true. I used to go with friends, three or five of us, to a roadside stall, and order a few bottles of ice-cold beer. Oh, it was so great."
"Haha, that's right, but we can't come back from that time."
Sensing the desolation and sadness in their words, Li Xiao interjected.
"Hey, what do you mean they can't come back? Who said that?"
Everyone looked over and saw Li Xiao wave his hand on the table, and the table was filled with beer.
It's just not icy.
Everyone: ………………
"Do you want the white one too?" Li Xiao asked.
Everyone looked at him and shook their heads in unison.
Li Xiao was quite disappointed. "Fine."
She rummaged through the space again, found a screwdriver, and placed it on the table.
"Drive it yourself."
Everyone stared at the beer on the table, speechless for a moment.
"Uh, want some?" Shao Jie asked.
"Have some, it's been so long since I've tasted this, I've almost forgotten what it's like. This is fine, it's not very strong."
Shao Jie readily agreed, "Okay."
As he spoke, he opened a bottle for each of them and handed one to Xiao Peng.
Meng Yang and Cheng Feiyue exchanged a glance and then laughed.
"Then let's have some too."
Meng Yang smiled and opened a bottle for Cheng Feiyue, then opened one for himself.
"Come on, Brother Yue, let's have a drink to those of us who have survived until now."
Cheng Feiyue also took a breath. "Alright, come on, let's drink to living a long life together."
At this moment, Yu Yanbin and Zheng Yongnian also opened a bottle of beer.
Everyone raised their beer bottles and bumped them together.
