Zhao Xi thought about it and thought it was feasible. Anyway, if two more people inquired, she would have more hope. If they inquired, she would not treat them badly.

So before the two brothers left, Zhao Xi told them about the inquirer.

"Ms. Zhao, we will pay close attention to it. If there is any news, we will inform you as soon as possible."

After the two brothers left, Zhao Xi began to tidy up the house.

The two-story building only covers an area of ​​60 to 70 square meters, and the upstairs and downstairs combined are only 130 to 40 square meters, so the area is not large.

The first floor is the living room, kitchen, and a bathroom, and the second floor has three bedrooms.

The house is fully equipped with all kinds of furniture, but there is no electricity, water, or heating. The only heating device is the wood-burning fireplace in the living room of the house.

In the past three days, Zhao Xi pushed the sofa in front of the fireplace and slept in the living room with the children. The weather was getting colder and colder, so sleeping with a fire made it warm.

There was a fireplace downstairs and the temperature was acceptable, but upstairs it was not. The bedroom was as cold as an ice cellar and it was impossible to live in it.

The base in Province M is located in the mountains of thousands of miles. There are many trees on the mountains, but there is no shortage of firewood. Zhao Xi heard from the two brothers that there are coal seams under the surface near the base, and the military is responsible for the management and control of development.

It's just that the snowstorm outside is getting bigger day by day, and the temperature is dropping every day, making it more and more difficult to cut firewood or mine coal.

The price of firewood in the base is constantly rising. As for coal, it is already a luxury item that can only be exchanged for supplies.

There are dozens of tons of coal in Zhao Xi's space, but during the past two days when she visited the base, she still bought a lot from the firewood seller. The neatly piled firewood stacked on the side of the living room was as neat as a hill. This amount was enough for two or three people.

It’s been used for a month.

The bedrooms upstairs were all covered in dust, and the previous owner probably hadn't used them. Of course, Zhao Xi didn't plan to use them. After all, heating was not easy these days, so she made the first floor warmer and more comfortable so that she and her children could stay warm.

There is space for activities and sleeping.

The area around the fireplace is the warmest, so it is used as a sleeping place. Zhao Xi spread the plush carpet he used when he was on the rubber boat on the floor in front of the fireplace, and placed the original low coffee table in the living room on the carpet. The positions of the surrounding sofas have not changed.

, forming a half circle around the coffee table and fireplace.

Zhao Xi filled a few pieces of firewood into the middle of the fireplace, took out the toys and flashcards he had found under the water and placed them on the coffee table for the children to play, while he went to the kitchen.

The kitchen has a rectangular stove made of red brick cement, with a long aluminum chimney on the stove.

In Zhao Xi's memory, she only saw this kind of stove when her grandma and grandpa took her to visit relatives in her hometown when she was very young.

The furnace mouth is brand new without a trace of black ash from the fire. It seems that the original owner's family has never used it, and Zhao Xi has no intention of using it.

It was almost noon. After closing the kitchen door, Zhao Xi stepped into the space.

I have been busy for the past three days at the base, and I haven't cooked a delicious meal for the children yet. Let's cook a big meal at noon today to celebrate that they have finally settled down.

First use a rice cooker to steam the rice, and then use a casserole to stew a freshly slaughtered old hen that has just been taken out of the planting space. The old hens in the planting space are natural and pollution-free, and the stewed chicken soup only needs to add some ginger slices.

It tastes very delicious when mixed with salt, and children love to drink it.

After the chicken was simmered, Zhao Xi continued to prepare other dishes. Stir-fried broccoli, braised pork with potatoes, sweet and sour short ribs, and stir-fried green beans.

Da Mao and Lan Lan have been suffering from persistent fevers, and their food intake in the past few days has increased much more than before. Zhao Xi's own food intake is not small, and she is not afraid of not being able to finish it even if she makes so much food.

Speaking of Da Mao and Lan Lan's illnesses, Zhao Xi asked the brothers to find several doctors the day after coming to the base, but nothing was found.

The doctors could not find the cause and could only treat it as a common pediatric fever. They sold Zhao Xi some "expensive" pediatric fever and cold medicine and left.

However, after three days of taking these medicines, these medicines had no effect. Fortunately, although the two babies had a fever, they were active and active and did not feel uncomfortable at all. Zhao Xi had to suppress his worries.

"Children, dinner is ready!!"

Medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements. The food in the planting space is rich in nutrients and tastes more delicious than ordinary ingredients. It seems to have miraculous effects on the human body. Now that she has settled down, she will try her best to use the things in the planting space to prepare meals for the children every day.

Eat to condition your body.

At the same time, in another two-story building.

"Auntie, haven't I eaten meat for a long time? This chicken soup smells so good~"

"Go, don't be greedy, this is all for your mother's health, you have no part in it!"

Fang Le inhaled the fragrance in the air and nodded repeatedly:

"I know, I know, doesn't this smell so good~"

"You brat, you're the only one with a sharp nose. Hurry up and eat. It's great that we can still have a meal of white rice now~" Fang Le's father looked at his son's greedy look and tapped his son's head with chopsticks.

.

During meal time, Fang Le's mother was half-lying on the sofa in front of the fireplace, covered with a quilt, and the family gathered around the coffee table to eat.

"Ahem~ Sister, I can't drink so much soup. Let's share a bowl with each of you. You are running around outside every day, especially the two children. You have to take a supplement. Don't be like me. If you get sick, you won't be able to drink it.

alright."

"Why is this? It's specially cooked for you to replenish your health. We've already replenished ourselves by eating white rice. Come on, it's just out of the pot. Drink it quickly!"

Qin Xun's mother filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to her sister, but she didn't pick it up. Seeing this, Fang Le's father, who knew his wife's temper, quickly persuaded her:

"Sister, just listen to Xiaojuan. You still don't know her temper. She won't be able to eat it if she is asked to eat it by herself."

How could a sister be so clear about her own girl's temper? "Hey, forget it, let's each share a bowl of soup. You can quickly take it and drink it. I'll keep the chicken for you. After you finish the meal, eat the chicken."

Seeing her sister relent, Fang Le's mother immediately took the bowl with a smile on her face, not forgetting to say: "Okay, thank you sister, but I can't finish the chicken, so I'll give it to everyone..."

"If you can't finish it, save it for next meal. Don't push me too hard~" Qin Xun's mother didn't like his sister this time, so he showed the majesty of being the boss.

As the two sisters looked at each other, other family members were also smiling. The two families got along very harmoniously.

The last pot of chicken soup was a bowl for each member of the family of six. At Fang Le's strong request, the two brothers each received a chicken wing and a little chicken.

"It's so fresh~" Fang Le's mother took a bowl of chicken soup from her sister and sighed after taking a sip.

"Sister, when did your craftsmanship become so good?"

"Is it as good as you said? Let me try it." Qin Xun's mother looked at her sister's intoxicated expression, took a spoonful and put it to her mouth, tasted it, and then said with a surprised and confused expression.

:

"Hey, don't tell me, it's really fresh~ But in this chicken soup, except for red dates and wolfberry, I just put a pinch of salt when it came out of the pot. I don't have any seasonings at home. I didn't even add ginger. I was afraid that the chicken soup would be...

It’s fishy, ​​I didn’t expect it to be so delicious and not fishy at all~”
