Chapter 243 Making a Snowman
Even Fang Ziheng and Hui Niang were stunned. They didn't expect this.
Little Yuanbao's eyes sparkled and he gave Xu Qingmeng a more healing smile.
Hui Niang joked, "This brat is so close to you. Now that Zhizhi is so little, he can remember her. When he left last time, he was still thinking about her!"
As everyone was talking, Xu Qingmeng went back into the house to check on the two little guys. She fed them before coming out. When she came out, Yun Sheng, Yun Mo and Xiao Yuanbao had already gone out to make a snowman.
Yun Sheng was wearing a red cotton jacket and running around in the snow like a little fireball.
I saw her trying hard to roll the snow into a big snowball. Her hands were frozen red, but she didn't feel cold at all. She kept muttering, "Brother, I want to save this snowball for making the body of the snowman. It has to be big."
Yun Mo stood aside, using a shovel to shovel together the surrounding snow. After gathering it into a pile, he compacted it with his hands. He frowned slightly, and looked very focused.
Little Yuanbao was quite small and wore many clothes, so he really wanted to help, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything.
Seeing that it was already noon, Fang Ziheng and the others stayed for lunch. Xu Qing thought that it would be perfect to have hotpot on this day.
Xu Qingmeng asked the servants to prepare the ingredients while speaking: "In this weather, hot pot is the warmest food."
It was the first time for Fang Ziheng and Hui Niang to eat it, but they knew that Gu’s hotpot was very popular, so they were still very excited.
Everything was prepared quickly, the steaming hot pot exuded an enticing aroma, and the table was filled with a variety of fresh ingredients.
Although I have never eaten it before, it does not affect the eating. Watching Gu Yunyi and others prepare the condiments one by one, I realized there is no need for me to teach them. I can learn it after watching them.
Little Yuanbao's cheeks were bulging from eating so much that he looked like a little squirrel.
Not long after the meal, little Yuanbao felt sleepy, so Hui Niang took him back home.
Xu Qingmeng was talking to He when they heard someone coming.
"master!"
As Xu Qingmeng just walked to the door, she heard Liu Zhigang shouting loudly.
Liu Zhigang himself is not very old. After not seeing him for a few months, he seems to have grown a lot taller and is wearing a thick blue shirt and cotton jacket.
"Yesterday I was telling you that you would be here in a few days. Come in and rest for a while. Are you cold? It snowed all night. I guess there are no cars on the road. How did you get here?"
"No, Master. I went out yesterday, but it snowed in the afternoon, so the car moved slowly. When I arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. So I found a place to stay nearby. This morning, some snow on the road was shoveled away, so I came into the city." Liu Zhigang said.
It's true. I encountered heavy snow when I first came to the capital. I feel sorry for it.
He hurriedly called for people to come in, "It's so cold, kid, come in and warm up."
Liu Zhigang was indeed quite cold. He was not wearing thin clothes when he went out yesterday, but rather thick clothes. However, it snowed yesterday and the temperature difference at night was large, so his clothes were no longer warm.
Seeing that the child was shivering from the cold, Xu Qingmeng quickly asked Gu Yunyi to find a thick coat for him to put on first.
The room was warm, and his body was warm too. Liu Zhi felt a lot warmer.
"Have you had lunch yet? I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat?"
Liu Zhigang scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "No, I only had a piece of dry food yesterday, and I helped shovel snow this morning, so I didn't eat anything. Master, I'm not picky, I just want to have something hot with soup now."
Xu Qingmeng didn't know what to say to him after hearing this. She could only glare at him and said angrily, "You really are... You don't need that little money. You can just have a hot meal in the store. How can it be so cold, huh?"
Although he felt a little disappointed with his friend, he still quickly gave orders and asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of hot noodle soup and send it over. This one would be quick and still be hot while eating.
Taking advantage of the time when Xu Qingmeng was giving orders, Gu Yunyi asked someone to serve him a cup of hot tea.
"I didn't ask just now, you said we, who did you come with?" Xu Qingmeng asked.
Liu Zhigang took a sip of hot tea and said quickly, "Master, I came here with Master Huang. Master Huang wanted to come over to give you a gift. Madam Huang knew I was coming, so she asked me to come along. By the way, Master Huang also asked me to tell Master Gu that we can come to your courtyard to drink together in the evening."
In the eyes of the Gu family, Huang Boyang is a foodie. Every time he says he wants to drink, he just eats the food.
Liu Zhigang also knew his master's craftsmanship. Xinting's craftsmanship was also very good. Thinking back to the past, he was that...
But it's no use thinking about it now, Xinting is already engaged to Mr. Zhou.
"Mr. Gu, this is what Mr. Huang asked me to teach you."
After Liu Zhigang finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gu Yunyi.
Gu Yunyi raised his eyebrows, took it and took a look.
The envelope was addressed to Gu Yunyi himself, and the signature on it was Mr. Shen.
Mr. Shen is Gu Yunyi's teacher. He had taken good care of him in Yan County and taught him a lot patiently. They were really as close as father and son.
Although Xu Qingmeng had never met Mr. Shen, he had been out of town and had not been in Yan County. Although he did not know Mr. Shen very well, Xu Qingmeng knew Mr. Shen's daughter, Shen Yunyi, very well.
After all, she was the heroine in the original book, Gu Yunyi's original wife.
Even now that Xu Qingmeng had given birth to her child, she was still a little nervous, but she didn't show it.
However, Mr. Shen had previously written to Gu Yunyi saying that he would be back during the August Festival. But now it is already the twelfth lunar month and he has not been seen yet. I don’t know if it was her appearance that caused the plot to take a different direction.
However, when Gu Yunyi and his friends moved out of Yan County, Gu Yunyi left a letter for Mr. Shen. I guess by the time he received the letter, Mr. Shen must have already returned.
Gu Yunyi was extremely excited and quickly opened the letter to read it.
There were only a few sentences and not many words, but from Gu Yunyi's expression, it seemed that he was very excited.
"Mr. Shen is back in Cheng County? By himself?"
Gu Yunyi nodded: "Yes, I'm back. I just came back. When he learned that we were in Yan County, he sent a letter to ask about the situation."
Then the smile on Gu Yunyi's face faded a little, and he turned his head and said, "Mother, Meng Niang, I want to go back to Yan County."
"We have all moved to Cheng County, and Mr. Chen seems to have returned to Cheng County alone. It's the New Year, so he must feel a little lonely. I want to bring Mr. Chen over to celebrate the New Year with us, and to see Zhizhi and Ruirui. What do you think?"
