Chapter 499 Frostbone

How many years will it take for the children to reach marriage age?

Liu Yinyin is not worried about this at all. After this difficult period, there will be many opportunities to make money.

Jiang Cuihua is a worrier: "Anyway, just spend your money slowly and save more. It will be useful in the future."

That's true. You need money to do anything.

However, in Liu Yinyin's eyes, money cannot be saved, and one still has to find a way to make money.

The next morning, Liu Yinyin drove Zhou Xiaomei to Dongpo Mountain.

It took quite some time after all the trouble.

I bought ten kilograms of mangoes, ten kilograms of oranges, and ten kilograms of fresh pineapples from someone, and also exchanged them for two pickled fish, two dried ducks, and five kilograms of dried beef.

Gu Cheng drove the old couple to Qingshi Railway Station. A telegram was also sent from their hometown, and someone would pick them up when the time came.

So, it doesn’t hurt to bring a little extra.

Mrs. Liu Ersao prepared some dried seafood for Jiang Cuihua, but Liu Yinyin didn't buy any.

When the bags came back home, Jiang Cuihua was shocked again.

"You said you...your father and I are old enough to eat these things."

Liu Yinyin blushed and said, "Why can't I eat it? Older people should eat more good food to supplement their nutrition and stay healthier."

Jiang Cuihua said angrily, "It's all perverse logic."

She wanted to leave the bags of fruit for the children, but Liu Yinyin did not agree.

The fruits here are not as convenient as on the island, but they are much better than back home.

The triplets are very active and their walking is becoming more and more steady.

Liu Yinyin’s main task now is to watch them.

It's better than before, she is not trapped at home every day.

With the triplets, I can go out for a walk during the day.

I didn't go far, just strolled around the family compound.

After Jiang Cuihua and Liu Laifu left, the weather became hotter day by day.

It was already bright before six in the morning.

The triplets are full of energy. They go to bed at nine in the evening and wake up at six the next day.

After feeding the triplets full meals, Liu Yinyin would take them out for a walk and occasionally bring back some fresh wild vegetables.

If you don’t eat it yourself, you can feed it to chickens or sell it to the system.

Then I sent Gu Yanyan to school.

The weather was too hot, so I didn't dare take the children out at noon. I waited until Gu Cheng got off work and then left the triplets to him.

Day after day, half a year passed in the blink of an eye. The triplets were two years old and were getting easier to take care of.

The little guys have each other's company, and sometimes they don't need Liu Yinyin to watch over them and can play by themselves for a while.

It's winter again, and today's weather seems to be much colder than last year.

It's only been a short time since winter began, but we've already had three or two light snowfalls, and the temperature is extremely low.

The weather was too cold, and Liu Yinyin's family lit the fireplace early in the morning for fear that the children would catch a cold.

Zhou Xiaomei thought that the fireplace in Liu Yinyin's house was really useful. It could provide heating, boil water and heat meals.

She has also been thinking about putting a fireplace in her room recently.

Captain Fan didn't know how to make a fireplace, so he asked Gu Cheng for help.

Zhou Xiaomei rubbed her hands and said, "It's really cold today. If we don't have something to keep warm at home, we won't be able to bear it."

Not only them, several children have also been having a hard time lately.

Especially Liu Yinyin, who had to brave the cold wind to go to the town to pick up Gu Yanyan and Chen Xiaofei every day, which was extremely painful.

Moreover, it was very cold for the children to sit in the classroom during class.

Although Gu Yanyan was dressed very warmly, her hat, scarf and gloves were all made of cashmere, which were thick and warm.

However, the little guy still had some frostbite on his face.

This was still considered good. Many other children in the school had their hands and faces frozen like steamed buns, with cracks all over them.

Looks so pitiful.

This is what happened to Chen Xiaofei. Liu Yinyin felt sorry for him because he was alone, so she made him the same hat, scarf and gloves as Gu Yanyan.

I also bought him a pair of cotton shoes.

However, perhaps due to a chronic illness from the past, when winter comes, even if Chen Xiaofei does not go out, his hands will still become red and swollen from the cold.

Zhou Xiaomei: "It's pitiful. He must have suffered too much in the past and didn't take good care of himself."

Liu Yinyin thought of something and took out three tubes of ointment from the drawer.

"This is the ointment I bought at the hospital for treating frostbite. It's quite effective. Try it on a few children."

There's no way. The weather has been really cold recently and the school doesn't have a fireplace or a stove for heating.

The classrooms and dormitories are extremely cold.

Zhou Xiaomei's two sons also developed frostbite, and she accepted several tubes of ointment.

"I won't give it to me. I'm going to the clinic to ask in the next two days. Jingnan's hands are bleeding from the freezing cold, and I don't know when the school will be closed..."

If things continue like this, Zhou Xiaomei doesn't want her children to go to school.

There is no way. No matter how important studying is, it is not as important as health. It is so cold, what should I do if I damage my body?

Last year the school holiday was late, this year...it's because of the bad weather.

Liu Yinyin glanced out the window. This morning, small snowflakes were flying outside again.

At this moment, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes were falling down in just one or two hours.

Everywhere you look, everything is covered in silver. A layer of soft snow has already accumulated on the ground.

Liu Yinyin thought: "...It should be soon."

I don't think the snow will stop any time soon.

Snowy days are not conducive to travel. If the weather remains like this in two or three days, the school will be closed sooner or later.

Anyway, neither Gu Yanyan nor Chen Xiaofei lived on campus.

It is inconvenient to go to school from here, so Liu Yinyin will definitely ask for leave for the two children.

Zhou Xiaomei said with a smug look on her face: "Yinyin, if Jingnan and Jingbei are on holiday, will I still let them come to your house to do their homework like before?"

She would love to send her two sons here, because Liu Yinyin knows how to teach the children.

Zhou Xiaomei originally thought that Liu Yinyin could only teach children elementary school knowledge, but unexpectedly, she could even teach junior high school Chinese and mathematics!

Moreover, the teaching is not bad.

But Zhou Xiaomei had heard her eldest son say more than once that he could hardly understand what the teacher said in school.

But the knowledge that Liu Yinyin taught her eldest son was something that he could understand as soon as he heard it.

Even if Zhou Xiaomei was uneducated, she knew that Liu Yinyin’s teaching was definitely no worse than that of the teachers at school.

Liu Yinyin agreed without thinking: "Okay, sister-in-law, just let them come over."

Since it's so cold and I can't go out, I might as well find something to do to kill time.

Zhou Xiaomei smiled and said, "By the way, Zhenxing and I will move the plastic film out to build a shed later. Let's help with yours."

In winter, it is time to build plastic sheds and grow vegetables.

The weather is getting cold quickly this year, so we should set up the shed earlier.
