After Secretary Wang finished speaking, Captain Zhang also went up to speak. He was more practical and assigned some tasks for next spring.

As Lin Qian listened, she felt more and more panicked. This workload is not low! It seems that I will need to do some endurance training sooner or later.

After the meeting, the three of them walked slowly home. It was very cold, but the winter sun was very comfortable.

After walking for a while, Lin Qian and Maomao stopped to look at the ice flowers on the trees, and taught him to memorize them word for word, "Suddenly, a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed on the trees."

Gao Xiaoan followed them, smiling warmer than the sun.

After arriving home and entering the yard, Lin Qian remembered the new green leeks growing in the kitchen and the taste of cabbage and pork dumplings, and said to Gao Xiaoan: "Why don't we eat dumplings stuffed with leeks and pork tonight? Make more and give them to your grandparents." Send a copy over there as well.”

"Okay!" Gao Xiao'an didn't disagree with anything about eating.

Go to the kitchen and cut a handful of leeks with a knife. Keep the rest and it will continue to grow.

Gao Xiaoan put Maomao to sleep, then went to the kitchen and started cutting meat.

Lin Qian soaked the leeks in water and put them in a basin. The leeks were natural, pollution-free, and very fragrant.

Then go to the cupboard to get flour and knead the dough. You can make more dumplings and leave them out to eat for a few days.

Kneading dough, mixing stuffing, rolling out dumpling wrappers, everything was ready. Lin Qian washed her hands and went to the kang to wake up Maomao. It was not good for the child to sleep for too long, so she let him make dumplings together.

Maomao regarded making dumplings as a game. He learned it very seriously, but the child's hands were so small that he couldn't make dumplings well.

Gao Xiao'an and Lin Qian didn't stop him. They kept praising him for learning quickly and just quietly rewrote the dumplings he made.

"Wow, sister, this is so beautiful. How did you make it?" Maomao looked at the rose dumpling flower in Lin Qian's hand with a look of surprise on her face.

Gao Xiaoan also admired her whimsy and asked uncertainly: "Is this a rose?"

Lin Qian nodded with a smile and demonstrated again.

She picked up four pieces of dumpling wrappers and placed them on the table. From left to right, she folded the four wrappers one on top of the other, placed the filling in the middle, and then folded the top and bottom edges of the dumpling wrappers in half.

Finally, roll it up from the right side, and a rose dumpling flower is ready!

Gao Xiaoan tried it, and it was successful. After seeing it, Maomao hurriedly shouted: "I want to eat this flower later!"

"Okay, I'll eat this tonight." Lin Qian agreed readily, and then said to Gao Xiao'an: "This kind of dumpling flowers can only be steamed, and they will fall apart if cooked."

This is what Lin Qian learned after becoming the host of the living area. She also squeezed dragon fruit juice, dyed it into flour, and made red rose dumplings.

After making ten roses, Lin Qian stopped making them. This kind of rose dumplings only looked beautiful, but the actual taste was not as good as the dumplings.

The three of them were full again in the evening, and the unfinished dumplings were left outside to freeze.

Lin Qian told Gao Xiaoan that she would put the meat in the firewood room tomorrow and weigh it down with bricks to prevent small animals from stealing it at night.

Of course Gao Xiao'an nodded in agreement. She hadn't cooked for a long time, and her skills as a mother were not as good as her daughter's.

Lin Qian planned to boil those dragon bones into big bone soup, which could be used to make noodles in the morning or drink while eating steamed buns. It would be very convenient.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Qian quietly opened the door and went to the cowshed. In addition to dumplings and noodles, the most important things she carried in the basket on her back were the pills made by Gao Xiao'an.

Lin Qian saw that she had to work for several days every time before finishing it.

Snowflakes were falling from the sky and visibility was not high, so it was okay to go out early, since no one in the village would come out anyway.

The temperature at night has already reached minus ten degrees, and this is not the coldest time in Heilingtun.

The number of warm babies on Lin Qian's body has also changed from two pieces to six pieces now.

When she arrived at the cowshed, she looked at the time and saw that it had taken twice as long as before it started snowing.

Lin Tianyou and Ye Shihua looked at the snowflakes on her body and felt heartbroken, telling her not to come here at night in the future. Getting sick from the cold was not a trivial matter.

Lin Qian circled one of Ye Shihua's arms and responded coquettishly, "I'll see if I can find a chance to come here during the day. Anyway, the pigs have been killed, and the hay for the cows has been prepared. People from the village should not come here during the day."

After taking stock of the situation in the room and confirming that the two old men were not frozen, Lin Qian felt at ease.

Before she could say more words, Lin Tianyou urged her to go back quickly, fearing that the snow would get heavier and harder, making it difficult to find the way.

Lin Qian had no choice but to step into the wind and snow again. After walking for a while, she found that the flashlight's light shone on the snow, and the reflected light was a bit dazzling, so she wanted to go into the space to get some goggles and put them on.

But she found that she couldn't enter the space. Lin Qian was shocked. There was no one in front of her!

She turned around and looked back, seeing Grandpa Lin leaving the cowshed holding a torch and following her from a distance.

Lin Qian's eyes were hot, and she waved to him, indicating that he should go back, and then walked quickly home.

When I got up the next day, the light came into the house and it was a sunny day again.

Every household in the village started to smoke bacon. Gao Xiaoan went to Uncle Wang's house to ask if he could help, but Yang Dani stayed behind and chatted with him for a long time.

After returning home, Gao Xiao'an told Lin Qian the news that the village's hunting team was going into the mountains tomorrow.

I thought this matter had nothing to do with Lin Qian and the others, until the fourth night after the hunting team went up the mountain, their door was knocked late at night.

Lin Qian was awakened by the rapid knock on the door. After opening her eyes, she immediately raised her body and saw the light of a torch outside. She was a little confused. What was going on?

After a few seconds, my brain realized that someone had entered the yard, and there were more than one!

Gao Xiaoan also woke up immediately. She subconsciously covered Maomao's ears and shouted loudly: "It's so late, who is outside!"

The person outside the door cried and said: "Doctor Gao, I am Wang Zhongqiang, please save my cousin!"

The two people in the room felt as if their hearts were blown by the cold wind outside, and they instantly felt the biting coldness.

After putting on their clothes, they got off the kang and opened the door. What they saw was a group of hunters with tired eyes and embarrassed bodies.

There was a man lying on a stretcher made of branches, covered with a quilt, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Gao Xiao'an couldn't help but gasped, clenched his hands, glanced at Wang Zhongqiang, and said, "Bring the person into the house first!"

There was such a big movement that the surrounding villagers' homes also lit up their lights.

Lin Qian's teeth were chattering. She didn't know whether the man on the stretcher could survive. The blood flowing from his body had already dyed the yard red.

Maomao is still on the kang! Lin Qian hurriedly rushed into the room, blocked his view, and quickly helped him put on his cotton coat.

Then he wrapped Maomao in a small quilt, hugged him into his arms, and entered the kitchen.
