Chapter 124: Making a Snowman
Li Meng also lay down in the warm bed, not knowing what Pei Yu was doing at this time? Did you go home for the holidays and miss her?
Pei Yu was sitting in the dormitory reading a book at this time. He spent the Chinese New Year in the army this year. Xie Lei did not go home either. He had used up all his vacation time this year, so he could only spend the Chinese New Year in the army this year.
"Brother Yu, have you written to your sister-in-law? When will you cook my spicy rabbit cubes for me? I've been eating so much lately!" Xie Lei sighed while half lying on the bed.
"Stop making noise, I'm reading! I will definitely give you what you lack. Now shut up and go to sleep." Pei Yu looked up at Xie Lei, then lowered his head and continued reading.
After receiving Pei Yu's glare, Xie Lei sighed again, and obediently lay down in bed and went to sleep, not daring to talk back.
Soon Pei Yu heard Xie Lei's snoring. He closed the book, took out a photo of Li Meng from under the pillow, and stroked Li Meng's smiling face in the photo with a smile on her lips.
The two people who care about each other are missing each other silently at this moment.
Have a good night’s sleep!
The next day, Li Meng opened the curtains and saw a vast expanse of white outside. It turned out that there had been a heavy snowfall last night. The snow had stopped by then, and the thick snow was perfect for making a snowman!
Li Meng quickly put on her clothes. She hadn't seen such heavy snow in modern times for a long time. She had only seen it when she was a child, so she was really excited.
When I opened the door and saw Xiaodouzi still sleeping, I went over and pinched his red little face.
"Wake up, lazy pig, it's snowing outside, get up and make a snowman"
Xiaodouzi opened his sleepy little eyes, rubbed them, and looked like he didn't know where he was.
"Yes, I just saw it. Let's go make a snowman later." Wu Ruirui was also dressed, with an excited look on his face.
"Remember to dress warmly. The sisters are going to cook first and will wait for you." Li Meng pinched Xiaodouzi's soft little face again and went to the kitchen with Wu Ruirui.
As usual, I eat steamed buns and multi-grain porridge in the morning. The buns were steamed yesterday and just need to be heated up.
Brothers Da Song and Xiao Song also came early and started sweeping the snow with tools.
Li Meng told them to pile the snow together and make a snowman after breakfast.
"Sister Mengmeng, when are we going to make a snowman?" After Xiaodouzi put on his clothes and saw the yard full of snow, he excitedly rushed to the kitchen like a little swallow.
"Let's go together after dinner. Go brush your teeth, wash your face and have breakfast." Li Meng playfully scratched his little nose.
"Okay!" Xiaodouzi jumped up excitedly.
Mr. Song and Zhou Hui also came over carrying things, followed by Li Laidie holding two large cabbages.
"What are you carrying?" Wu Ruirui asked curiously when he saw something on the ground.
"Didn't I make some money taking pictures a few days ago? I went to the next village to collect glutinous rice noodles, dried vermicelli, and this cabbage, and I brought them all over here," Li Laidie put the cabbage and other things away before answering Wu Ruirui's question.
"Sister Lai is so thoughtful. I can use this glutinous rice flour to make rice dumplings in the evening. Thank you, Sister Lai," Li Meng quickly thanked her.
"Hey, I should thank you. I have eaten so many delicious foods from you and you helped me make money. I should thank you," Li Laidie said with a smile.
"Okay, let's have a good meal today, and we'll need your help." Li Meng smiled and patted Li Laidi's shoulder.
"Okay, don't worry. I, your sister Lai Di, don't have any other skills, but I can definitely help you. If you need any instructions from me, just tell me," Li Lai Di patted his chest and promised.
"And me, and me, I can help too." Wu Ruirui also raised his hand to indicate that he could help too.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't forget it." Li Meng also patted Wu Ruirui's head.
After they finished breakfast, Li Meng took Wu Ruirui and Xiao Douzi to make a snowman.
Everyone else was busy sweeping the snow. Even the snow on the roof was swept away by the brothers Da Song and Xiao Song.
"Are you cold? If you are, wear gloves when you play," Li Meng said to Xiaodouzi with concern.
"I'm not cold, I'm not cold, I want to build a big snowman." Xiao Douzi was still actively rolling the snowball.
"I'll go to the kitchen to get some black beans to use as eyes for the snowman," Wu Ruirui said and ran into the kitchen to get something.
The three of them worked together to build a snowman at the door, using black beans as eyes and red dates as a mouth. Li Meng stuck the broom next to the snowman, which looked cute and majestic.
"Xiaodouzi, these two little snowmen are now handed over to you. You must take good care of them and make sure they are not destroyed by other children."
"Don't worry, I will protect them well," Xiaodouzi immediately assured.
New Year’s Eve dinner is always eaten at night, so they just fried two dishes at noon and saved their stomachs for a good meal in the evening.
"Sister Laidi, please give these buns to Wang Fang later and let her keep them for herself." Li Meng took 6 buns, packed them and handed them to Li Laidi.
"Well, I'll give it to her in a while. I heard this morning that Liu Huan wanted to eat separately from them and cook for herself. I felt that she seemed to have taken a fancy to your previous small kitchen," Li Laidi said mysteriously.
"Oh, that's how it is. If she really wants to use it, let her use it. We'll see what she says then. Wait until she comes to me," Li Meng said calmly.
"Well, just pretend you don't know. Wait until she comes to find you. I'll go give the buns to Wang Fang first and be back soon." After saying this, Li Laidi took the buns and walked quickly towards the Youth League Courtyard.
Li Meng didn't think about it anymore and started to get busy with the New Year's Eve dinner. Li Meng prepared 10 dishes. She would never let her stomach suffer. It was New Year's Day, wasn't it right to have a good meal?
Braised pork, spare ribs, fish, meatballs, bacon, and cured pheasant are all meat dishes. If you add some wild vegetables, mushrooms, and eggs, the ten dishes can be easily put together.
Compared with other educated youth in the Youth League Home, the dishes here can be regarded as the best New Year's Eve dinner in the whole Huanglong Village.
After delivering the buns, Li Laidi came back and handed Li Meng a bag of brown sugar, saying that it was given to her by Wang Fang and asked her not to despise it.
"I told her to give it to you herself, but she insisted on forcing it on me, so I had no choice but to take it," Li Laidi said helplessly with his hands spread out.
"Just take it. When you go back home in the evening, bring some dumplings for her. Don't friends always interact with each other?" Li Meng didn't care about these little things. She just simply thought that Wang Fang was an okay person who wouldn't do anything naughty and had good character.
Next, Li Meng began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner seriously. Li Laidie cut the vegetables and prepared the side dishes, while Wu Ruirui lit the fire. The three of them cooperated better and better.
