That was the thermos cup that Ji Qingzhou had just bought, with labels of Xie Yanbei and his mother on it.
She didn't know what else to do for them.
But it was freezing outside, and she hoped they wouldn't be bothered by this.
Xie Yanbei glanced at the water cup, which contained red dates and ginger slices, and felt warm in his hands.
"Thank you for your hard work, Qingzhou. Don't worry about me and Auntie. I will protect them."
Ji Qingzhou helped him straighten his collar. "It's not that hard. I heard it's going to snow tonight, and the roads in the mountains are not easy to walk on. You must be more careful. I'll wait for you at home."
Her movements were gentle, and even her eyes were softer.
There seems to be an unusually large amount of snow this winter, and Ji Qingzhou's worries are not unreasonable.
Almost every winter, there are people who get injured by sliding down the mountain.
Falling is a small matter, but the biggest concern is damaging your internal organs.
The medical conditions here are not very developed, and it takes at least an hour to get from the countryside to the hospital in the city.
If it snows, it will be even more difficult to guarantee.
Xie Yanbei's leg had not yet recovered, so Ji Qingzhou naturally didn't want to overwork him.
But he is a soldier.
Xie Yanbei put his arm around her waist and brought her into his arms.
The man touched her long hair. Ji Qingzhou had been busy these days and was exhausted.
"Thank you, Qingzhou. When things here are over, I will return to the army. Then I will apply for a family housing unit. It will be much more convenient then."
After all, the countryside cannot compare to the capital, and Ji Qingzhou has been spoiled since childhood.
He didn't want Ji Qingzhou's living conditions to decline after they got married.
Ji Qingzhou touched his forehead with one hand, the smile in his eyes still there.
"I understand you're doing this for my own good, but the countryside has its own advantages. We should always do what we can to change it."
Ji Qingzhou turned his head and looked outside the window, and saw a vast expanse of white.
If we were in Beijing and salt had been spread early on, there might not have been such thick snow.
But if there weren't such thick snow, we would naturally not be able to experience the warmth and coldness of human nature.
Everyone worked together to sweep the snow in front of their doors, and red lanterns were hung on the doors.
When winter comes, the atmosphere of the New Year begins.
Ji Qingzhou just wanted to fit in, even if it was in the countryside, even if the environment was not very good.
But the enthusiasm on the faces of the people here always makes people feel happy.
They didn't talk for long before Xie Yanbei raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall.
The sun outside has risen a little. If we don't clear the snow now, the road will become more difficult to walk on when it freezes at night.
"Today the production team organized the villagers to voluntarily clear the snow and clear the road to facilitate the researchers' return to the research site. I have to go there first."
Ji Qingzhou nodded. Although he wanted to keep him a little longer, now was not the time.
The busier you are, the more you should keep the other person in your mind.
Ji Qingzhou handed him the thermal cup: "It's cold outside, wear something thicker. Also, your legs are fine, don't stay in the snow for a long time, and be sure to wear your knee pads."
Ji Qingzhou had endless words to say, as if Xie Yanbei was going on a long journey.
"You must take your medicine on time. I may not be able to do rehabilitation training for you recently, but you can't be lazy. Once this period is over, I will prescribe you a new prescription."
Xie Yanbei patted the girl's shoulder gently.
The two hugged each other tightly, then quickly separated.
"Take care of yourself. When the weather clears up, I'll have someone repair the roof. It might be cold in the house, so don't kick off the covers at night."
Ji Qingzhou nodded and waved at him. She saw that some neighbors had already gone out with shovels.
"Go quickly, don't keep people waiting for you."
Ji Qingzhou looked at everyone's backs as they went up the mountain. He felt a little heavy in his heart, but more of awe.
It seems that no matter what time, there are always people going against the flow.
Since it concerns the foundation of the country, young and old will all be involved.

In the ward.
After Xie Yanbei and Ji Qingzhou left, the atmosphere in the room was obviously a little off.
Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other alone for a long time, Shen Yunqing lowered his head and tightly grasped the quilt with one hand.
Ji Qingzhou brought it for her because he was worried that she would be cold.
"Yunqing, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. I'm your brother, and I've watched you grow up. Even if your parents aren't around, I can make decisions for you."
Shen Huaizhi stirred the medicine gently, and the black medicine soup smelled very bitter.
But when he came in and saw Shen Yunqing and Ji Qingzhou together, he looked very happy, as if honey was added to the medicine.
Shen Yunqing lowered her head even more, as if she had something to say.
But it seems difficult to talk about it.
The man said in a low voice: "Go home this Spring Festival. Your parents are not here, but I am here."
He found a chair and sat next to her. His voice was neither hurried nor slow, and not much emotion could be heard in it.
"You came here without even saying hello, and you're not planning on going back for the Spring Festival?"
Under Shen Huaizhi's series of attacks, Shen Yunqing finally raised his head.
She looked into his eyes, their gazes met, each other's figures reflected in their pupils.
"I didn't say I wouldn't go back, it's just... you're already married, so I shouldn't need you to spend the New Year with me."
"On the contrary, the countryside might be more lively. I have never liked things that are too cold since I was a child."
Shen Yunqing's voice sounded a little lonely. She sniffed, and her emotions were also undetectable.
