Thinking there would be many people, Zhu Qinghao specially asked Si Tian to "get" a relatively large casserole, which turned out to be just right when it was brought over.
The whole family was gathered around the stove, where the second pot was bubbling with some meat that Zhu Qinghao had taken out of her spatial storage, along with several kinds of very fresh vegetables.
Everyone sat around the warm stove, eating and chatting. Their faces were flushed from the heat, completely unaffected by the howling cold outside.
Moreover, Wen Chuyi's first trimester is over, her morning sickness has disappeared without a trace, and she enjoys eating everything.
In truth, she secretly longed for Zhu Qinghao to come over, because every time Zhu Qinghao came, there would be all sorts of fresh and delicious things to eat. However, she didn't say a word about it, so no one knew about her little secret.
Actually, the food cooked in the cowshed wasn't bad, and often tasted quite good, but Zhu Qinghao's variety of dishes fascinated her.
This time, Zhu Qinghao brought a lot of fresh vegetables, which made her unable to resist eating until she was stuffed. As a result, after dinner, she had to walk around the room a few times with her belly before she could get into bed.
Zhen Zhu and Zhu Qingyun both noticed, but it didn't seem serious, so they both pretended not to have noticed.
Wen Chuyi is quite shy, so it wouldn't be good if she saw through it. It's better to pretend you don't know.
Sure enough, Wen Chuyi didn't wander around the room for long before getting into bed. After the two of them watched her quietly and found nothing wrong, they felt relieved and went to sleep together.

The next morning, as expected, Si Tian came to find Zhu Qinghao with a bunch of miscellaneous things.
"Good morning! Today is the Winter Solstice, shall we celebrate it together?"
Zhu Qinghao had already made preparations, so when Si Tian knocked on the door, she was already waiting by the door.
"Okay, how does Sweetie want to spend her time?"
Si Tian carried her things in and told Zhu Qinghao about her arrangements as if she were reciting a menu.
"I've heard that people in the south eat glutinous rice balls on the winter solstice, while people in the north eat dumplings, and people in the southwest drink mutton soup to ward off the cold... I spoil you so much, so naturally I want to arrange all of these for you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinghao understood everything.
I thought to myself that the little girl was quite greedy, wanting to eat everything.
However, she didn't expose her, but simply nodded in agreement.
"Sure, let's make the arrangements! So what should we have for breakfast this morning? Sweet rice balls? Or dumplings?"
In Zhu Qinghao's past, they also ate dumplings on the Winter Solstice.
So when she took things to the cowshed yesterday, she also brought a lot of ingredients for making dumplings, so her family is probably making dumplings right now.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qinghao's expression softened, and she prepared to start making dumplings with Si Tian.
When Si Tian took everything out, she discovered that the glutinous rice balls and dumplings were already packaged and ready to be cooked, which was quite convenient and didn't require any effort at all.
Since it was just the two of them, she couldn't be bothered to listen to Si Tian's lame excuses, so she didn't even ask if Si Tian had wrapped the dumplings herself.
To make it less obvious and to make it taste better, Si Tian really did take handmade dumplings, and she took many different flavors.
Because there were so many different fillings, she was too lazy to take them out one by one and then wrap them herself, so she simply took the pre-wrapped ones.
Seeing Zhu Qinghao pause in what seemed like an attempt to make dumplings, Si Tian covered her mouth and smiled.
"Surprised? No need, we'll make them ourselves. To be honest, I doubt whether the two of us can even make a decent pot of dumplings..."
