The four of them spent that night in Ruan Mengmeng's space.
As the year draws to a close, the weather is getting colder and colder. On the 28th day of the lunar year, snowflakes were faintly falling from the sky.
"It's snowing." Standing under the eaves, Zhang Xinxin looked at the sky in the distance.
The sky was like a big black net, covering the entire earth.
It was pitch black.
It was just past three o'clock and the sky was already dark.
It seemed like it was going to get dark soon.
"Well, auspicious snow means a good harvest. Maybe we can build a snowman tomorrow." When Ruan Mengmeng came back from the bathroom, she saw her standing there in a daze.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Bai Rong asked as she sat by the fire in the living room.
"It's cold, let's eat hot pot." When talking about food, Zhang Xinxin came back to his senses and followed Ruan Mengmeng into the living room.
"Okay, I'll go make some bone soup." Bai Rong got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"I'll go to the cellar to get some vegetables." Ma Dahe also stood up.
"Are you almost done knitting this glove?" Zhang Xinxin picked up a glove that Ruan Mengmeng had already knitted and looked at it over and over again.
It's really magical. Two small knitting needles can be strung together to make sweaters, woolen pants, socks, school bags, gloves, etc.
"Well, it's almost done." Ruan Mengmeng didn't even raise her head. She had already knitted two-thirds of the gloves on her hands and would be done soon.
"I don't know when they will come back." Zhang Xinxin sighed.
Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai went to their comrade's home and said they would be back in the evening.
It was almost dark and there was no one around.
"It should be soon." As a man, you can't always watch over your wife 24 hours a day. You have to have your own things to do.
Otherwise, even if the other person is not tired of it, she will be tired of it.
"Sister, do you want to eat potatoes?" Ruan Zilong, who was squatting there, took out potatoes from the bottom of the fire.
In winter, when we have nothing to do, family members will put a few potatoes at the bottom of the fire and roast them. When they are cooked, we peel them and eat them. They are soft, sweet and taste good.
"If I don't want to eat it, you eat it." Ruan Mengmeng shook her head.
She still had some leftovers; the potato skins were so black they were everywhere.
There was no way I could eat a baked potato while I was crafting.
"How many more?" Zhang Xinxin squatted next to him.
"Three." Ruan Zilong picked one out with tongs and placed it on the ground next to him to cool down.
"Do you want to eat it?" he asked, picking up another one.
"Have a small one." We're going to have hotpot later, so we need to save some space.
"Okay." Picking out the smallest one for her, Ruan Zilong exhaled and peeled the potatoes.
Ruan Mengmeng has had nothing to do recently, so she has been immersed in various knitting activities.
Each person knitted a sweater, all made of wool, which kept them warm.
Each person has a scarf made of ordinary rabbit hair yarn.
The wool yarns of later generations came in many colors and were very soft.
With Zhang Sinian's help and cover, Ruan Mengmeng's life is so comfortable.
Bai Rong also completely let herself go.
No matter whether it was something Zhang Xinxin took out or something her son brought back, she accepted it all.
Eat it when you are given it, use it when you take it.
Seeing how considerate their mother was, the two best friends even took out a few light down jackets from their space.
I am afraid of the cold when I get older, and there is no heating now.
If you have something and don’t use it, you are a fool.
…..
New Year's Eve.
A group of people sat around the table, where the mother and her two daughters had cooked a large table of dishes.
Braised carp, four-happiness meatballs, candied sweet potato, twice-cooked pork, roast chicken with chestnuts, glutinous rice lotus root, stir-fried lamb with green onions, scrambled eggs with shrimp, braised spare ribs, plus a winter melon meatball soup.
There are ten dishes in total.
There was also a bowl of dumplings in front of each person.
Everyone loves the ones stuffed with white Rong and sauerkraut and pork.
"Come on, let's toast to the new year and wish everyone all the best." Tian Kai poured a glass of juice for everyone and said excitedly.
"cheers."
"Hmm~ It smells so good." Zhang Xinxin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Let's eat." Someone shouted, and everyone started picking up their favorite dishes.
The atmosphere in the house was warm, and outside the house, heavy snow was flying all over the sky.
The new year is approaching, and it’s time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
Outside, the sounds of firecrackers and laughter could be heard everywhere.
…..
"Happy New Year." Zhang Sinian was slightly drunk while holding the little girl in his arms.
"Happy New Year." Ruan Mengmeng shrank her neck to avoid the hot breath from the man behind her.
"Haha~" the man chuckled.
"Itchy." Ruan Mengmeng protested, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
"What?" Ruan Mengmeng was puzzled when she felt something extra in her arms.
"I hope my baby will become younger and more beautiful." After saying that, he kissed her soft face.
Mm, fragrant and sweet, and as kissable as ever.
"Thank you." Ruan Mengmeng put the red envelope into her pocket with a look of surprise.
Unexpectedly, this guy still remembered to give her a red envelope.
Money doesn't matter, what she wants is that atmosphere.
Who doesn’t look forward to receiving red envelopes during the Chinese New Year?
Ruan Mengmeng is no exception.
"How do you want to thank me? I don't need any verbal thanks." The man stared at her eyes with a deep gaze, not blinking.
"Rogue." How could Ruan Mengmeng not know what he was thinking?
She cursed inwardly and said something coquettishly.
The night is long, the snow is heavy, the house is full of beauty and spring...
Time flies, and it’s soon after the New Year and school is about to start.
A day in advance, the two of them rushed to school together.
Bai Rong also came with them.
Tian Kai and Zhang Sinian passed the military assessment and entered the military academy, and were not with them.
But it doesn’t matter. Both girls are smart and neither of them will suffer any loss.
With her overwhelming fighting power, Bai Rong is not worried at all.
They pushed the bicycle they had bought some time ago, packed up their bedding, clothes, washbasin, etc., hung them on the bicycle, and the three of them set off.
Ruan Zilong was sent to school by Ma Dahe. There were many things that needed to be handed over in the new semester, and it would not be possible without the parents around.
Ma Dahe took the initiative to assume the responsibility of Ruan Zilong's parent and volunteered.
This made Ruan Zilong very happy.
He liked this uncle very much. He loved him, spoiled him, and liked to tell him stories.
"Mom, please walk slower. It's still early." Zhang Xinxin was speechless.
Her mother didn't know if it was because she was excited, but she dug her two best friends out of bed early in the morning.
Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s only half past six and her mother is already running very fast.
School officially starts tomorrow. In order to get a better bed, the two of them went to school a day early. There is no need to rush at all.
"Oh, Mom was so anxious that she forgot everything." Bai Rong then remembered that today was not the first day of school. It was all her fault that she was too excited. Once excited, she forgot everything completely.
The only thing left in my mind was to leave quickly.
It was cold, so the three of them wrapped themselves up tightly.
They all had rabbit fur scarves around their necks that Ruan Mengmeng had made a few days ago.
I was wearing a light down jacket on top and a thick cotton-padded jacket on the outside, it was so warm.
