Li Yunshan came back late. She had been lying down for a while after dinner when she heard the door ringing.

When I went out, I found that there was another thick layer of snow on the ground.

Li Yunshan stood at the door, a thick layer of snow fell on his head, and the tip of his nose and ears were red from the cold.

It wasn't until he entered the house and put the basket down that Mao Xiaosui discovered that there were still many things in his basket.

"What?" she asked.

Li Yunshan took them out one by one.

A child's wavy drum, two bunches of red and attractive candied haws, a piece of snack wrapped in oil paper, three packets of herbs, and the frozen hard sweet fruits I bought last year...

Li Yunshan bought so much that the bottom layer of the basket was full of them.

She was a little surprised and asked, "Why did you buy so many?"

"I heard it can stop vomiting, but you can't eat more. When the time comes, put it in a bowl and let it melt before eating."

Li Yunshan untied the string wrapping the snacks and said, "The snacks are given to you by Ping An. I bought the rattle because I thought it looked good. My sister-in-law said she was vomiting badly at the time and she liked eating candied haws. Press it down and I bought it for you." Try two."

Mao Xiaosui looked at him with a smile, picked up the candied haws and took a bite.

The outer sugar coating is very sweet, and the fruit inside is sweet and sour, which is really delicious.

Li Yunshan smiled when he saw her eating happily, washed her hands and sat by the clay stove to eat.

Mao Xiaosui took a few bites of one candied haws, and when he ate the third one, Li Yunshan took it away, "Don't eat too much, it will cause acidosis."

She responded with a smile, pinched some more peel and put it in her mouth.

The snack was oily and not as fragrant as candied haws, so she didn't touch it again. She tied it up again with a rope and put it in the kitchen.

It's snowing heavily outside, but it's warm and cozy inside.

Li Yunshan was lying on the bed sleeping, and she was sitting by the clay stove.

She was boiling medicine and sewing clothes at the same time. After a while, she heard a sound at the courtyard door. When she went out, she found that it was Mao Mingzhu.

Mao Mingzhu asked, "Is Yunshan back?"

"I'm sleeping. Come in and warm yourself up." She still felt strange, "Don't you have a fire in your house?"

"It's still alive. The wood hasn't been chopped this year. The firewood at home is tight for Shi'er and the others. The house your uncle and I live in is not very warm. Your uncle is sleeping on the bed. My bones hurt all over my body when I lie down. The ground is cold when I sit on it." If we don’t live here, it’s not convenient to go to Xiaoxiao’s house, so I might as well come here to stay warm.”

In the room, Li Yunshan turned over after hearing the commotion and said nothing, and the two of them paid no attention.

Mao Xiaosui brought her the jelly fruit in a bowl on the table, "Try it, Yunshan bought it."

"Why are you buying this?" Mao Mingzhu said and took a bite. She was a little surprised when she found that it was very sweet. "I saw others selling it in the past years, but I didn't buy it, but it is very sweet."

She smiled and explained, "Yunshan bought it for me to stop vomiting."

When Mao Mingzhu heard this, she quickly looked into the bowl on the table and said reproachfully, "Then what do you give me to eat? You keep it for yourself."

"A little more."

Mao Mingzhu felt relieved after hearing this.

Mao Xiaosui asked her, "Will you go back to Mao's house this year?"

"I'm not going back. I'll get a lot of money for a trip back. It depends on my face. Besides, I don't have any money at home. I'm afraid your uncle will scold me."

Mao Xiaosui didn't have such worries and couldn't comfort her.

_

It snowed heavily for five days before it stopped, and the yard and the road in front of the house were piled with snow.

Li Yunshan got up early in the morning and didn't even bother to wash up. He hurried out to fetch water. There were many bumpy steps shoveled out on the way downhill. If you look at the road carefully, it's not easy to fall.

Mao Xiaosui saw him going downhill and then went to the backyard with firewood in his arms.

No need for a brazier, just light the firewood directly on the ground and smoke it with the door closed.

After the weather got cold, Heizi was lazy. In the morning, she and Li Yunshan came in and out, and he lay beside the clay stove without moving.

Mao Xiaosui kicked its butt with his foot, and Heizi just looked at it and lay down again.

Li Yunshan said that the dog does not come into the house because he did not care about it because it was small before, and he will not let it in next year.

Li Yunshan was afraid that the road would be muddy and difficult to walk when the sun came out, so he filled both water tanks. However, the sky turned cloudy again soon, and snowflakes began to fall again in the afternoon.

The cabbage in the backyard was growing well, so the two dug up the roots and put them in the grain house.

Mao Xiaosui helped hug him a few times, ran to the backyard to take a look at the chickens, and asked Li Yunshan, "Do you want to eat chicken soup?"

"you want to eat?"

"A bit." She hasn't had anything meaty these days, either porridge or noodles, and she hasn't even made stir-fries, but now she is craving for chicken soup.

After hearing this, Li Yunshan walked out with Baicai in his arms and said, "I'll kill him later."

She also quickly helped put it into the room, and after putting it away, she quickly brought a basin and knife over.

The three roosters were about the same size, so Li Yunshan caught one at random and killed it.

When she came out of the hut, she found that the chicken blood had been put on the ground.

Without saying anything, he quickly went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of water.

When Li Yunshan came in with the chicken, she took the bag that contained chicken feathers and pulled out all the chicken feathers and put them in. She said to Li Yunshan, "Your cotton coat is a bit thin. When we save some chicken feathers, I will renovate it for you." Your cotton coat."

Li Yunshan is actually not very afraid of the cold. He is mostly at home when the weather is cold, but he still responded with a smile.

A rooster had very thick fur, and he needed a handful of it after plucking it. Li Yunshan took the laundry basin and put the chicken in and poured water to scald it.

The moment the boiling water was poured down, the stench suddenly came up. Mao Xiaosui was instantly nauseated by the fumes. He covered his mouth and ran to the door to vomit.

Li Yunshan chased her out, patted her back, and waited until she finished vomiting before saying, "Just go back to the house and warm yourself up, and I'll clean up."

She covered her nose and ran into the house, taking a bite of the sweet fruit that had melted in the bowl. The aroma of the rustling sweet fruit barely diluted her nausea after swallowing it.

Li Yunshan wouldn't let her eat the iced ones. She had to melt them all and let them cool down before letting her touch them. She couldn't finish them all, she could only eat half. After taking a bite, she quickly put them back.

It takes time to cook the chicken, and it was almost dark when Li Yunshan finished scalding, killing and chopping.

He came into the room with blood on his hands and asked, "Have you cooked it half or all?"

"Half of it."

"How to cook it?"

"Put it in a pot under cold water. When the water boils, take out the blood foam. Put a piece of green onion and two peppercorns in it, and let it simmer over low heat."

Li Yunshan went there, and after a while he settled down and came back. Seeing the empty bowl on the table, he asked, "Have you finished eating?"

Mao Xiaosui felt guilty, "I always put it on the stove and wait for the ice to melt before eating it."

Li Yunshan obviously didn't believe it, "You can't eat cold food, it will cause stomachache."

"I know." She responded honestly, still a little afraid that Li Yunshan would scold her.
