Reborn in 1974, crying with red eyes while hugging her rough husband

When they returned home, snowflakes had already started to fall from the sky and soon became heavy. It looked like cotton had escaped from someone's quilt.

Xu Haonan was making fried fish nuggets for Shen Zhizhu in the kitchen. He would pour salt on the big fish to drain out the moisture, chop it into pieces, coat it with a little bit of starch, or nothing at all, and put it directly into the frying pan.

After a while, take it out and it becomes a delicious food.

Shen Zhizhu was waiting on the side, stretching her neck and occasionally looking into the pot. The aroma of food was already wafting out, and she was a little impatient.

Afraid that the oil would splash on her, Xu Haonan asked her to stay a little further away.

"Is it okay? Is it okay? I can smell it."

"Okay, it's just out, be careful with the heat, let it dry for a while."

Xu Haonan poked the fish pieces in the pot with chopsticks, then scooped them out and put them in a stainless steel basin, and then put another one in. There was originally only one fish in the house.

But Xu Haonan was worried that one would not be enough for Shen Zhizhu, so when he was in the city, he bought a few more and had them delivered to his home.

"Hey, I've been prepared."

Shen Zhizhu took out a palm-leaf fan that he only used in summer from behind his back and fanned the fish fiercely. In fact, it didn't matter much if he didn't use it, as it was cold in winter and food would get cold quickly.

Xu Haonan laughed and thought Shen Zhizhu was a happy elf.

"Bring it inside quickly. Eating it too cold is bad for your stomach."

Shen Zhizhu thought so too, but she stood on tiptoe and kissed the other person. The basin was a bit big, and there were not many pieces of a fish cut into large pieces.

So much so that it only takes up half of the pot.

"No, wait until this one in the pot is ready, then we can go inside and eat together. I'll send some to Aunt Li. Erdan and I have similar tastes, so he should like it, too."

The fish pieces were cooked quickly after being put into the pot. After a while, the second one was almost done. Xu Haonan put the one he had just put into the basin back into the pot.

In winter, it’s better to eat hot food.

"Wait, wait, let me take one first."

Shen Zhizhu was quick with his hands and eyes. He picked up a piece of fried fish at the edge of the bowl, put it in his mouth, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

Just like a cat in the sun, squinting its eyes and enjoying the time.

"Haonan, just spoil her. She's an adult, but she still eats with her hands."

Aunt Li brought Erdan to visit. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Shen Zhizhu taking out fish pieces from the basin and putting them into his mouth. Xu Haonan did not stop him. He let him take all the fish before putting the fish into the pot.

She took out two pieces of paper from her pocket and stuffed them into Shen Zhizhu's other hand, muttering something.

"At least use something to cushion the oil so that it won't drip onto your clothes. Your clean little hands will also be stained with oil."

Shen Zhizhu smiled at Aunt Li and obediently wiped his hands with a tissue.

"Thank you, Aunt Li. I knew you would blame me for not wanting to leave. The fried fish nuggets are delicious. You guys should try some too. I just told Haonan that I'll send you some when it's ready."

At this time, Xu Haonan had already taken out all the fish pieces and put them in a basin. No one could resist the tempting aroma.

"It smells so good! We just came back from the notice board at the entrance of the village. As soon as we entered the yard, we could smell the aroma. I'm so hungry. Thank you, Sister Xiaozhu, thank you, Brother Haonan."

Erdan was grinning and wanted to pick up a piece of fish from the basin, but when he saw Aunt Li's expression, he quickly withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly.

"Brother and sister, can you give me a pair of chopsticks?"

Shen Zhizhu pinched Erdan's face and took out a few pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick basket.

"Of course you can, but let's go inside first. It's warm inside. The snow is getting heavier outside, and your face is getting cold."

Shen Zhizhu held Aunt Li's arm to prevent her from refusing. After Aunt Li realized what Shen Zhizhu meant, she laughed a few times.

"Okay, it's really cold outside, and I just happened to have some news for you."

Xu Haonan followed behind, holding the fish.

"It's warm in your room, and that's a kotatsu on the bed, right?"

As soon as I entered the house, I felt the warm air blowing towards me, which immediately eliminated the coldness in my body.

Shen Zhizhu greeted them warmly and sat on the kang.

"Aunt, Erdan, do you want to come and feel it? It's very warm. No matter how warm the room is, you will always feel cold after a while of getting used to it."

"No, we'll just sit for a while. Besides, we've been wearing these clothes for a whole day. Sit on the bed and don't dirty your bedding."

Seeing his mother say this, Erdan also followed suit.

"Yes, yes, that's not necessary. I fell outside today, and my pants must be covered with dust. Sister Xiaozhu will just give me a little more."

Xu Haonan touched Erdan's head and put some fish pieces, chicken, and braised pork in a small bowl.

"You and the Ghostly One, please sit down and eat."

It turned out that while they were talking, Xu Haonan went to the kitchen and brought back a few dishes, including braised pork, fried chicken, pork stewed with vermicelli and some home-cooked stir-fries.

The soup is made by buying a large whole chicken, half of which is braised and the other half is made into soup.

"Oh, what day is it today? The food is so rich."

Aunt Li felt that she was about to get lost in the aroma of the dishes, not only her, but Erdan as well.

Shen Zhizhu felt that if Erya was there too, she would definitely be eager to start eating.

Xu Haonan picked up some dishes for Shen Zhizhu and asked Aunt Li and Erdan to start eating as well.

"This was made before frying the fish nuggets. I didn't want it to get cold after it was done, so I kept it in the small pot next to it. The staple foods are rice and steamed buns. The rice is in the pot, and the steamed buns are in the basket over here. See which one you like. If you want rice, I'll serve it to you."

Shen Zhizhu looked out through the window. The snow was falling heavier and heavier. There was already a thin layer of thick snow in the yard. It seemed that in a few hours, the yard would be covered with white snow.

"This is the first snow, so of course we need to celebrate it."

This was also the first snow she had seen since her rebirth. Before the snow fell, she successfully got the admission letter. Whether actively or passively, she had solved the problem of at least half of the people she hated in her previous life.

Moreover, she has lived with Xu Haonan for such a long time and their relationship is still pretty good. They will soon go to Beijing together to start another wonderful journey.

"By the way, where's Uncle Li? The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier. Why hasn't he come back yet at this time? If he were at home, I would call him over to eat together. Haonan cooked a lot."

Erdan buried his head in eating his meal and carefully spit out the big bone. For this kind of fish, the bones are generally big, so there is no need to worry about them getting stuck in the throat or anything.

He spoke before Aunt Li.

"My dad had something to do today, so he went to work for his employer. They provided him with dinner, and the construction schedule was very tight. They wanted to finish the house before the Chinese New Year, so he stayed at his employer's place for the next few days."

"Your uncle is not lucky. No matter how good the food there is, it is made by outsiders. Haonan's cooking skills are unique in the village."
