The room was quiet except for the sound of Shui Ling slicing meat with a knife.

Although she figured it out, she didn't want to say it because it would be embarrassing to say it.

But Gong Qianyu is a smart but stupid guy, he said: "I think..."

He glanced around and then said: "It may be afraid that Shui Ling will starve to death. If anything happens to Shui Ling, no one will care for its child."

Shuiling cut the meat dully, this is the so-called straight man, he has a headache.

The patriarch took out the tobacco bag, but looked at the baby and put it away again.

He smiled and said: "Eighty percent yes."

The patriarch's share of venison and Shui Zhehao's share were both kept, so Shuiling's wish to eat hot pot came true.

She silently prepared the ingredients and made the pot base, and even secretly opened a pack of spicy hot pot base ingredients in the kitchen. She didn't dare to put more ingredients, but only put as much as her finger.

When the pot boils, the aroma immediately makes people's mouths water.

Shui Ling also took a Chinese cabbage and pinched a lot of the tender tips of water spinach.

Mushrooms and the like can be cooked directly in the pot. These are the only three things that can be blanched.

Shui Zhehao couldn't see, so Shui Ling took care of him. After eating a few bites of meat, he said, "Just give me some vegetables."

Shui Ling smiled and said, "Eat more. If you are weak, you will be afraid of the cold. If you eat venison, you will be warm. If you don't eat it, you are dissatisfied with my cooking."

As for the four injured people, they could only watch and eat whole grain porridge because they were injured and could not eat venison.

The patriarch was very happy and laughed, "What is this called? Stewed indiscriminately?"

Shui Zheran quickly smiled and said: "This is called a hot pot. It's the most comfortable to eat in the winter. It's a pity that there is no wine." His eyes flicked back and forth on Su Qin.

Su Qin's eyes widened, and Shui Zheran immediately lowered his eyebrows and ate the meat.

No matter how much Shuiling there was, he couldn't eat much even if he wanted to. He soon became full, so he resigned himself to his fate and went to the campfire to cook porridge in a hanging pot.

The porridge is also delicious with herbs and sugar in it, but it's a bit troublesome to serve three grown men lying down. You have to be very careful not to spill it.

The three grown men were moved to tears and vowed to help Shui Zheran's family with more work when they got better.

After eating the venison, the clan leader did not go back to his house, but went with Shui Zhehao. The stove in their cave was also lit. The chimney was made of bamboo, and the inside and outside were covered with clay to prevent fire.

Now the room is very warm and comfortable. Although the bed is not as hot as the Kang, it is not cold even with a layer of reed mats spread on it.

The patriarch sat by the stove, took out his pipe and smoked, his face glowing red from eating the hot pot.

He looked at Shui Zhehao, who had gained weight, and asked, "How do your fourth brother's family treat you?"

"Okay, very good. No one has been so kind to me except my grandfather and parents." Shui Zhehao sighed.

The patriarch's eyes darkened and he cursed: "Boss, you just failed to find a good wife, and you almost starved to death."

Shui Zhehao shook his head, "My eldest brother is away all year round, and my eldest sister-in-law has no man to support her at home, so she can only find ways to make profits on her own, so we can't blame her for today's situation."

The patriarch nodded, "Well, you still think clearly, but I'm worried that people from the other side of the river will come after the river freezes."

Shui Zhehao was silent for a moment and asked: "Hongzao Village and Walnut Village are old residents, so they are more dangerous, right? After all, no one knows about us just coming here."

The patriarch's movements froze, and then anger appeared on his face, "I know, the Hongzao Village upstream must have been looted. They must have diverted the trouble eastward and led those people to us."

"Otherwise, how would they know that there is a village here? We live in a cave, and there are no windows to let in light. From a distance, it is just a mountain of dirt. Who would have thought that there are people living here?"

There was no surprise on Shui Zhehao's face. He had already thought of this, so he said: "So we can't take it lightly. The main thing to guard against is not the other side of the river, but the upstream and downstream directions."

"Well, you're right, I know what to do." The patriarch nodded, with a heavy look on his face.

The atmosphere here is not good, but Shuiling is pretty good.

After they had eaten and drank enough, they began to play with their children. A fire wall was built in the house so it was very warm. The two babies were lying on the bed wearing bellybands.

They stared at the person teasing them with wide eyes, giggling from time to time.

They are already three months old, and they all talk about rolling over, sitting up, and crawling. However, the two babies are still unable to roll over because the original owner was malnourished and was born prematurely.

Su Qin looked a little worried, "I still can't stand up, it's been three months."

Shui Zheran slapped his thigh, "Oh, today is December 20th, so New Year's Eve is only a few days away."

Su Qin, "..." I really want to strangle this old man to death.

Shui Qing felt Su Qin's anger and said quickly: "Yes, the younger brothers and sisters are about to celebrate their first year. We can't spend it in a deserted way, right?"

Shui Zheran was very sensitive to his wife's emotions, so he naturally sensed that she was unhappy, and immediately followed Shui Ling's words and said: "Yes, I can't let my daughter-in-law spend their first year in a deserted state. I must get something good to warm them up."

It’s lively.”

Finally, he smiled flatteringly at Su Qin and said, "Am I right, wife!"

Su Qin raised his hand and pinched his ear, and said angrily: "You are quick, I will forgive you this time."

Shui Ling was snickering on the sidelines.

Gong Qianyu, who was still awake, was extremely shocked. He couldn't understand why Shui Zheran, as a man, could be so tolerant of his wife, even if his wife was harsh to him and pinched his ears, she didn't care and still smiled.

This kind of thing is impossible to happen in my own family. My father's low status doesn't allow my mother to twist her ears...

My mother also often taught herself that men are gods, and women should not be allowed to ride on their heads. They should just treat each other with respect as guests.

Even if a woman seeks a wife, she cannot beat or scold the man, she must show him enough respect.

But why do I actually envy Shuiling? I always feel that growing up in such a family can be unscrupulous and carefree.

Shui Ling actually noticed that Gong Qianyu didn't sleep, and she didn't complain. She used to eat dog food by herself, but now it's better to have one more person to share the burden than to eat alone.

The family chatted for a while, and after the two babies fell asleep, they also fell asleep. There was only the sound of snow outside and the sound of firewood burning.

The next day, it was not sunny, but the heavy snow stopped, and it fell nearly a foot thick in total.

Someone cleaned the stairs and aisles at night, and started clearing the snow below during the day.

The people who came out to get some fresh air talked to each other, and they were all asking how to eat the venison.

Because the three seriously injured people were out of danger, they were sent back to their respective homes. They couldn't live here forever with Shui Zheran.

When only a family of five was left in the house, they announced that they wanted to sleep a little longer, so they closed the door and entered the space to see the gift package.
