Chapter 124 The more I read, the more I like it
Summer cicada is afraid of the cold, but on a special day like today, her interest in the mountains overcomes her fear of the cold.
Moreover, she was wearing warm clothes, a sweater on the outside, and a down jacket. These clothes were enough to cope with the weather outside.
Oh, I forgot to mention, you also need a pair of over-the-knee moccasins.
With this outfit, you don’t have to be afraid of the cold even on snowy days.
There is nothing else in the pedestrian street, but there are a lot of clothes.
Everyone in the family accepted it well and put on the "strange clothes" that the summer cicadas had brought out. They were a little uncomfortable at first, but when winter came, they discovered the benefits.
That thin-looking down jacket, made to fit the human body, is so warm to wear.
Not only does it keep you warm, the clothes are also very light. Wearing them does not interfere with your work and is very comfortable.
The children in the family love to wear them, the elderly love to wear them, and even Brother Xie the eldest and second brothers, they all like the clothes that Xia Chan took out.
In their philosophy, there is no such thing as wearing the same clothes as others.
As long as it is brought out by the summer cicada, no matter what color it is, they like it.
This is even more true for Xie Lin.
Not to mention that Xia Chan gave him men's clothes, even if Xia Chan gave him women's clothes, he would put them on without any hesitation.
Before Xie Lin could say something, Xie Yunying's voice rang out from outside the yard.
"Sister-in-law, my brother, Wenjun and I are going to the mountains. Do you want to go?"
After being busy for several months, I finally have some free time today. The work is almost done, so Xie Yunying and the others don't have to stay in the kitchen anymore.
You can go out for a walk with me now.
They are the only family living in the area within dozens or hundreds of miles around here.
If you want to go shopping or something, that is naturally impossible.
You can only go for a walk in the mountains.
Fortunately, Xie Yunying was happy to go to the mountains.
She came over to invite Xia Chan, which happened to be what Xia Chan wanted.
"I'll go as well."
Xia Chan responded to the outside world.
She looked away and saw Xie Lin looking at her helplessly. She smiled and hooked her finger, then knelt on the kang, pulled him over, hugged him and kissed him.
"Just let me go, okay?"
Although summer cicadas are not very coquettish.
But that doesn't mean she won't.
She hugged him, kissed him and acted coquettishly. Even Xie Lin couldn't resist her attack.
"Cicada..."
His tone was helpless, yet full of doting.
The summer cicada knew it was successful.
Xie Lin could never bear to be cruel to her.
She chuckled and said, "Brother is the best."
Xie Lin looked at the smiling girl in front of him and his heart softened.
He stretched out his hand to hug the person in his arms, but as soon as he did so, Xia Chan slipped out from under his raised arm like a nimble loach.
The man got off the kang.
Trotting out the door in her slippers.
"Chanchan, slow down, be careful not to fall."
Xie Lin looked at his empty hands, turned around and shouted to the people running out with a somewhat amused look.
"fine."
The slippers on her feet are non-slip, so the last thing she has to worry about is falling.
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door.
Xie Yunying stood under the eaves, her face a little red from the wind.
When she saw Xia Chan coming out, a big smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Sister-in-law."
"Why aren't you wearing a hat?"
As Xia Chan spoke, he took out a red hat from the space and handed it to Xie Yunying.
"Put it on. It's windy outside and your ears will freeze."
They were fine inside the house. The fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the walls and kang were warm.
But it’s different outside, it’s cold.
Xie Yunying took the red knitted hat with a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I was in such a hurry to come out that I forgot to wear my hat."
She was a little ashamed.
Her sister-in-law had already given her a lot of things, but because of her negligence, her sister-in-law gave her a hat.
I feel like I got a great deal.
Xia Chan ignored Xie Yunying's thoughts.
"I have a lot of stuff, you know that."
No one knew how much she actually had.
She doesn't know it herself.
In short, it is a renewable pedestrian street and she can use it as she pleases.
As long as something is useful, who would count how many there are in total, right?
The aunt and sister-in-law chatted and laughed, waiting for Xie Lin to come out of the house, and then they left the small courtyard and went to the big courtyard together.
On this side of the compound, everyone who wanted to go up the mountain gathered in the room outside the old lady's bedroom.
This room is the largest room in the entire building. When the house was first built, it was thought that everyone could gather together around the old lady.
Talk to her, eat here together, etc.
Next door, connected by a corridor, is the large kitchen on this side of the compound.
Xia Chan and the others are eating here now.
Although several small courtyards were created when the courtyard was built, no one expressed the intention to split up the family.
We simply slept separately, but had to eat together in the old lady's room.
This will be a lot more lively.
Besides, there is no need for their family to split up.
When Xia Chan and the others came over, the temperature in the house was very warm, and as soon as they entered the door, it felt like they had entered another world.
This is also thanks to the preparations they made before winter.
The thing that is most in short supply in the mountains is firewood.
Before winter came, the three brothers Xie Chang, Xie Yuan, and Xie Lin, together with the two brothers Xie Wenhao and Xie Wenjun, chopped firewood together for two days and burned a lot of charcoal.
Each of their small courtyards was allocated half a room of charcoal, and in the big courtyard, there was a large room filled with burning charcoal.
There is no need to worry about heating in winter.
Moreover, at Xia Chan's suggestion, this house was built with a kang and a fire wall, so charcoal is basically no longer needed.
The side rooms in each small courtyard are used for storing things.
The east wing was filled with charcoal, and under the eaves was a high pile of chopped firewood.
In the remaining side room, there are some jars and pots filled with the goodies that the summer cicadas have dug out from the mountains in the past few months.
Such as Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and some other rare medicinal herbs.
She has prepared them all, either by soaking them into medicinal wine or drying them.
The wing on the west side is simply a large pharmacy.
In addition to Xia Chan's medicine, there were also the furs of rabbits that Xie Lin occasionally caught in the past few months.
The house was filled with all kinds of things.
Seeing Xia Chan and the others coming in, the people who were talking and laughing stopped and looked at them with smiles.
"Xiaochan, come, sit over here."
The old lady waved to Xia Chan and asked her to sit next to her.
She made no secret of her preference for summer cicadas.
Xia Chan took Xie Yunying's hand and walked over with a smile.
"Grandma, how are you feeling? Are you still coughing today?"
A few days ago, the old lady accidentally caught a cold, but fortunately, there was the miracle doctor Xia Chan at home. So, those minor colds and coughs were easily cured, right?
Xia Chan took a look at the old lady and knew that she had a cold caused by excessive internal heat.
She prescribed some Chinese medicine for the old lady, and she heard that the old lady slept better that night.
"I'm fine. With Xiaochan here, what can happen to me?"
The old lady smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
She held Xia Chan's hand and patted the back of her hand gently. The old lady liked this granddaughter-in-law more and more.
