Taking out the letter she had written at home, Lin Qian added some words on the back of the letter paper, then sealed it and affixed a stamp.

The same goes for Gao Xiao'an. The two of them originally planned to send some dry goods back this time. The fungus, pine nuts and other dry goods here are of good quality and cheap, so it's perfect to give them away.

Friends with better connections, such as the Zeng family, also added smoked chicken and smoked rabbit to the package. These things can be stored for a long time.

During this period, under the introduction of Aunt Dani, they exchanged a lot of dry goods and dried prey in the village.

In addition to writing letters yesterday, I packed these things separately and planned to send a copy to my close relatives and friends.

The cabinet customized by Master Yang has been delivered, and all the luggage they brought has been put into the wooden cabinet.

So the big backpack that contains the luggage is finally free, and it is just used for stuffing today.

After the two of them mailed the letters and dry goods, they were already so hungry that they put the package directly into the big backpack without even having time to open it.

Then we went straight to the state-owned hotel for lunch.

Hurry up now, it's already past meal time and there aren't many people eating.

After looking at the menu, Lin Qian took out her money and food stamps and ordered a braised pork, three kinds of ground delicacies, and cabbage and pork dumplings.

The first thing to come out was the hot pork dumplings. Lin Qian took a look when she went to the window to bring them. There were about twenty in one serving.

The dumplings are white and plump, and come with a small plate of vinegar.

When she took her first bite of pork dumplings, Lin Qian was stunned for a few seconds, she was simply shocked by the food.

There are only two words in my head - delicious!

But think about it, purely handmade, purely natural materials, coupled with the skills of master chefs of this era, this plate of dumplings is simply not in the same dimension as those quick-frozen dumplings.

Gao Xiao'an also enjoyed the meal very much and suggested packing another portion to take home. Lin Qian was very happy when she heard this and didn't want to think about it together.

Anyway, they went out today and picked up empty lunch boxes. They came to the state-owned restaurant to pack them so as not to have to cook when they got home too late at night.

When the braised pork and ground fresh meat came, the dumplings were almost finished by the two of them.

Looking at the shiny braised pork and ground fresh meat, Lin Qian touched her belly and sighed. If she took it back and heated it up to eat at night, the taste would be much worse.

But there is no way, I am almost full after eating dumplings. Lin Qian picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. The meat was fat but not greasy, and it melted in your mouth. It tasted really good!

The unfinished dishes were packed into one lunch box, and the newly ordered dumplings were packed into another lunch box.

Next, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to make major purchases. The most important thing was to buy an iron stove to heat the house in winter.

In addition to these, I also bought some snacks and pastries such as chicken cakes, hemp flowers, chestnut cakes, etc. I stopped after spending the newly obtained tickets.

This time, many people came out of the village to buy things in the county. Later, the snow became heavy and the oxcarts stopped running.

You can only travel by sled, but there are few sled dogs in the village, and the sled's capacity is relatively low.

So everyone in the village wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get all the things needed for the New Year.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the people in the village gathered together and got on the bullock cart to drive to the village. Lin Qian had to thank Aunt Dani for helping them make the rabbit skin hats, otherwise the cold wind at night would have frozen them to death.

After returning to Heilingtun, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan first went to Uncle Wang's house to pick up Maomao.

Now Maomao is used to coming to Wang's house, where there is an older brother playing with him and a group of adults coaxing him.

So now he no longer cries every time he comes to Uncle Wang's house. Instead, he packs snacks and carries them in a small crossbody bag, saying that he wants to share them with Uncle Wang's grandson and his little friend Wang Zhongsheng.

Gao Xiao'an used rags to sew the crossbody bag for him as a reward for memorizing ten poems.

Seeing the two people coming to pick up Maomao, Yang Dani pulled them into the house without any explanation, "Sit down, I'll go to the kitchen to bring you millet porridge. It's been warming on the stove. It's freezing cold here. Let's drink some millet porridge to warm it up." Warm your stomach before going back.”

"Sister Dani, I'm really troubling you!" Gao Xiaoan said a little embarrassedly. They had to let Maomao go to the Wang family almost every time they went out.

"Hey, why are you saying polite words to me? Maomao is so good! He even taught Zhong Sheng to recite poetry today!" Yang Dani waved her hand indifferently.

What was served was not only millet porridge, but also warm corn pancakes and salted duck eggs.

The millet porridge is very thick, with a few red dates in it, which makes it taste a little sweet.

Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan couldn't help but pick up the bowl and take a sip. After eating the millet porridge, it was really heart-warming and comforting!

The two of them ate two more corn pancakes with millet porridge before they stopped.

Uncle Wang helped Grandma Wang out of the back room. Now, under Gao Xiaoan's treatment, Grandma Wang can walk.

Acupuncture has been temporarily suspended for now, as Gao Xiaoan said it was too late. The feet should be moved slowly and the feet should be soaked with medicine every day.

After finishing the millet porridge, Lin Qian took out a pound of chicken cakes bought in the county today from her backpack, put it on the table, and said, "I just bought it today, let's try it together!"

"Take it back to Maomao to eat!" Yang Dani immediately refused.

Gao Xiao'an smiled and took out two chicken cakes, stuffing one into Uncle Wang's hand and giving the other to Grandma Wang. "There are some more in the bag. This is for uncle and aunt to eat. This chicken cake is soft and won't damage your teeth!"

"Hey, don't say it, we won't know how to play with this novelty!" Uncle Wang was unceremonious and ate deliciously.

Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't say anything, Yang Dani felt at ease, took the chicken cake handed over by Gao Xiao'an, and took a delicate bite. This thing is so delicious!

The adults chatted for a while, and finally Grandma Wang said it was too late and asked Wang Daniu and his wife to send Lin Qian and the others back, and also packed eight corn pancakes for them to take with them for tomorrow morning.

Yang Dani hugged Maomao, and Wang Daniu helped them carry the iron stove they bought in the county with one hand and held a torch with the other.

After arriving home, she opened the door and saw that the temperature inside and outside the house was the same. Lin Qian quickly went to the kitchen to heat up the kang first, and then boiled the hot water.

Today is another day outside. I should at least wash my face, wipe my body, and soak my feet before going to bed.

While the water was boiling, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan packed the things in their bags together.

Li Mulan sent six oranges that were bigger than Maomao's fist, as well as a package each of dried clams, dried scallops, and shrimp.

Lin Qian was very happy after seeing it. The things in the space can be taken out again. Seafood porridge is also delicious in winter.

Ms. Zeng Jingcai sent over three boxes of cream and an arm-long piece of bacon, as well as two cans of malted milk and two very practical small hand stoves.

The small hand stove looks a bit old, and I don’t know where I got it, but it should be very comfortable to hold in my arms in winter.
