Xie Zhengchuan and the kids were particularly well behaved all day. Perhaps God knew that Su Li was in a bad mood all day, so it started snowing not long after breakfast.
This was Su Li’s first snow in this world, heralding the official arrival of winter.
No matter what, Yao still made the clothes. Xie Zhengchuan's clothes were not cold-resistant. Fortunately, he made some new thick clothes yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go out all day.
While Su Li was making clothes, Xie Zhengchuan took the children to practice writing on the kang table and read picture books to them.
At noon, Su Li simply heated up 10 cornmeal buns, made a big pot of pork soup, added tofu and cabbage, and poured a glass of wine for Xie Zhengchuan.
Drinking hot soup or hot wine in winter is very comfortable.
In the afternoon, when Li Dan came to find Tiedan, Su Li gave each of them a bowl of pear soup before letting them go out to play.
Xie Zhengchuan stayed in the room and did not come out. He lay on the kang and read a book, as if he was very serious. Su Li ignored him and continued to make clothes. The woolen coat today was different from the one she made yesterday.
This one is looser and the lining inside is thicker. Last night, when no one was paying attention, she took out some down and mixed it with cotton to sew it together.
Su Li also specially made a style with a hood, which is fashionable, thick and warm.
In the evening, after Su Li took Bao Ya to wash up, she lay on the kang and hugged Bao Ya to tell a story. She was telling the story of how Sun Wukong defeated Zhu Bajie three times and snatched the White Bone Demon away.
"Sun Wukong picked up the golden hoop and hit Zhu Bajie three times. Zhu Bajie couldn't dodge and let go of the White Bone Demon's hoof. At this time, the White Bone Demon quickly ran into Sun Wukong's arms..."
After Xie Zhengchuan and his three sons finished washing up, they returned to their room, took their own bedding and moved it to Su Li's room. Fearing that his wife would be angry, he did not dare to get too close and could only place the bedding next to his sons' bedding.
"Dad! Why are you here?" Hu Zi was putting a pillowcase on his head. Seeing Xie Zhengchuan coming over, he quickly put the pillowcase away.
"Oh! I forgot to heat up the kang. It's so cold out there. I'll stay here with you for the night."
Su Li glared at him, "Haha!"
Xie Zhengchuan Shanshan smiled and touched his nose, "You still don't believe it, really."
"Hmph! A scheming man." After saying that, Su Li turned around, hugged Bao Ya and prepared to go to sleep.
Xie Zhengchuan pretended not to understand and went straight into bed.
It was the first time for the three boys to sleep with their dad. They lay there stiffly, not daring to breathe.
It was still a bit early for Su Li and the others to go to bed at this time, so the whole family closed their eyes and tried to sleep. Hu Zi was not honest, and he couldn't hold on for a while, and turned over and over.
This caused Xie Zhengchuan, who was already a little irritated, to lose his patience.
"Just go to sleep, why are you tossing and turning to make pancakes?"
Hu Zi shrank his neck and said, "Dad, are you just going to sleep for one night? Will you come tomorrow?"
"Tsk~ You're nosy." Xie Zhengchuan leaned over and flicked his head.
"Oh! Dad, it hurts. Look, we and mom are sleeping well, it's a bit crowded with you. Otherwise, you don't have to come tomorrow. I will remind you to heat the kang." After saying that, she grinned and gave him a flattering smile.
Xie Zhengchuan narrowed his eyes at him. Why is this kid so bad at reading people's expressions?
"You three are so old, and you still want to sleep with your mother every day. You need to learn to be independent. Go sleep in the east room tomorrow."
Shitou: "Then you too?"
Xie Zhengchuan felt that his two sons were meant to bring bad luck to him. "Mom and Dad should live in one room, and you kids should live in another room."
Shitou: "Then Dad wants to sleep with our mom. Dad is older than us and he is not independent yet, but he still wants to sleep with mom. Alas~"
Xie Zhengchuan was choked by what he said!
Tiedan: "Dad wants to have a little sister with mom?"
Su Li was listening to the two children choking on Zhengchuan, and suddenly she choked on what Hu Zi said, her face flushed red, "Ahem... What nonsense are you talking about, silly kids? Go to sleep."
Xie Zhengchuan looked at Su Li's back and smiled. There was still a long time to go. They had moved into the house today and had not been driven out yet. He could just move the kids to the east room in a couple of days.
Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty. He reached out and patted his three sons, signaling them to go to sleep. He then put his hands under his head, smiled, and began to plan how to move the children.
Because there was a person like Xie Zhengchuan who had a big appetite at home, Su Li had to mix coarse grains and fine grains together. The food was fine, but the meat was eaten quickly at home.
The snow stopped that day and the children went out to play. Su Li stayed at home to write a novel. The royalties and dividends from the previous novel had been mailed to her, a total of more than 3,700 yuan. With this much money, the Su family could build a house next year. The house was quite old and would become a dangerous building if they were to live in it for a long time.
If the snow falls too heavily, the house might collapse.
Xie Zhengchuan, Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang went to Damao Mountain near the village. In winter, the men in the village would get together to hunt on the mountain. If they were lucky, they could catch some pheasants and rabbits.
At this time, the rules were not so strict. In previous years, if the game was found, it had to be handed in. But they just turned a blind eye. They couldn't let people starve to death.
At noon, Su Li cooked a pot of mutton soup, steamed a pot of steamed buns, fried some leeks and eggs, and made some spicy and sour potato shreds.
After waiting for a long time, Xie Zhengchuan still didn't come home, so he let the children eat first.
"Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet?" Tiedan asked
"It's okay. Guo has left some food for your dad. You can eat first and don't go out in the afternoon. It's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when it snows. Don't get cold."
"oh!"
"Li Dan said he would not come over this afternoon. His mother would not let him go out and asked him to stay home to take care of his brother."
Su Li hummed, a little absent-mindedly.
After dinner, Tiedan and his friends played with sandbags in the yard. Su Li had some leftover cloth from making clothes a few days ago, so she made two sandbags for them to play with.
Su Li sat at the door of the main room, knitting sweaters while watching the children play. To be honest, Su Li was a little worried. Xie Zhengchuan retired due to a leg injury. During this period, she gave everyone some spiritual spring water from time to time, but she didn't know if it had any effect on Xie Zhengchuan.
Anyway, I didn't see any changes in him.
After waiting for a while, Xie Zhengyang and Xie Zhenghe tied up a wild boar with straw ropes and lifted it up with a thick tree trunk. Xie Zhengchuan held three pheasants and two hares in his hands.
Such a big wild boar looked like it must be quite heavy. Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang were sweating after carrying it for so long.
Su Li was stunned when she saw the wild boar. It was her first time seeing a wild boar. She quickly put down her needle and thread and walked over. "Oh my! How did you kill such a big wild boar?"
"Dad, Dad"
Several children stopped playing and watched the wild boar squealing excitedly.
Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang were so tired that they were gasping for breath. After putting it down, they squatted on the ground to rest.
"It was also good luck. We were lucky enough to hunt a few pheasants and rabbits. But when we were about to come back, we saw this wild boar falling into the ditch. We went over and knocked it unconscious, tied it up and carried it over here. Haha." After Xie Zhengchuan finished speaking, he smiled at Su Li, as if inviting her.
Su Li: “…”
Just talk, can you please not send out flirtations casually?
The story of Xie Zhengchuan's three brothers carrying a wild boar back was spread by the person who was hit, and soon everyone in the village knew about it.
Although wild boar meat is not as delicious as domestic pork and is tougher, it is a meat dish after all. The pork distributed by the team had been eaten long ago, and they had also gone up the mountain. Not to mention wild boars, they didn't even bring back a single pheasant.
The Xie family is really lucky, and people in the village are envious of them.
They slowly gathered in groups of three or four in Su Li's yard.
Looking at the wild boar grunting on the ground, I was so greedy.
"Oh! That's a lot of wild boar meat. How long will it take to finish it all?"
"I said that the Xie family's kid is capable, look and see, isn't he?"
"Zhengchuan used to be a soldier, so he must be very good. Zhenghe and Zhengyang are also good at their jobs. They can just beat the wild boar without any hesitation, haha~"
"We can get a lot of meat from hunting such a wild boar! The Xie family is in for a treat."
.......
The villagers were talking about it. They were jealous, but they didn't have the ability to take it down. They wondered if Xie Zhengchuan could give some to them. They were all from the same village. Thinking of this, they looked at the wild boar on the ground more eagerly.
The children looked at the wild boar, pheasant and rabbit, and then at Xie Zhengchuan, their eyes were full of admiration.
Su Li couldn't care less about so many things now. The wild boar would not run away if left here. Xie Zhengchuan and the other two had been in the mountains for so long and had not eaten, so they must be very hungry.
So he called the villagers and told them to kill the pig later and come back to see. Xie Zhengchuan and the others had not eaten yet, and the people who came to watch were sensible and left one after another. Su Li closed the door.
She quickly went to the kitchen and took out the hot mutton soup and steamed buns from the pot. There were also two plates of leftover vegetables. Afraid that there would not be enough, she cooked another pot of tomato and egg noodles.
