The hunter's husband is so sweet

No matter how much Qi Xuan didn't want to, winter still came as expected. "Hiss, it's so cold." Qi Xuan held the hot water bottle that Fu Jingyi had bought for him in Yundu before, and wore thick clothes, sitting in the rocking chair in the yard to bask in the sun. Although the weather was cold, the sun was still very warm.

Lin Chen's Jinxiu Pavilion really had a new batch of hot water bottles and thermal covers, which were really popular, especially the exquisite embroidery. Many young ladies from wealthy families bought them just for the embroidery, which made Lin Chen a small profit.

Lin Chen sat beside Qi Xuan with a smile on his face, counting the accounts while looking at the account book sent to him by Manager Li. Then he took the banknotes sent with the account book and said to Qi Xuan, "Brother, I'll leave them all with you. It's safer."

Qi Xuan's whole body was warm from the sun, and he glanced at Lin Chen, "What if you and big brother don't see me when you need the silver? Where will I appear?"

Lin Chen frowned upon hearing this, "Yeah, it's hard to tell when the time comes." Seeing that Lin Chen was still a little worried, Qi Xuan sat up from the rocking chair, "Brother Yi said that when big brother made the cabinet, he asked him for the blueprints, and he also made one with a secret compartment. When the time comes, just put the valuables in it."

"If you're still worried, leave some with me and keep some for daily expenses." The hot water bottle had gotten a little cold, and Qi Xuan was about to put some more hot water in it. At this time, Fu Jingyi came over and directly put a new hot one in his hand, which he had taken away.

"This is so thoughtful." Lin Chen said this deliberately. He was used to seeing his brother and brother-in-law showing affection. He used to feel shy, but now, even if they kissed in front of him, he could watch without blushing or beating his heart. But if Qi Xuan knew what he was thinking, he would jump up and hit him.

Fu Jingyi has gone up the mountain less frequently these days. There is enough food at home, and he is too lazy to go to the mountain. Who doesn't want to hold her husband at home and bask in the sun in such a cold day?

"Xiao Xuan, I have something to ask you." It was rare for Fu Jingyi to look for Qi Xuan to decide something, because at home, Qi Xuan was in charge of small matters, and Fu Jingyi was in charge of big matters, although there were no big matters at home.

"Brother Yi, what's wrong?" Qi Xuan felt warm all over and wanted to walk around. He ran to Fu Jingyi and asked him.

"During the Chinese New Year, should we kill a pig? If we do, I'll go find a butcher and order one in the next few days. If not, forget it."

Qi Xuan was stumped by his question. He whispered to Fu Jingyi, "Brother Yi, if you ask me, I don't know. Is it the custom here that every household kills a pig during the Chinese New Year? If so, then let's kill one too? But it will take a long time to eat."

Fu Jingyi then realized that Qi Xuan didn't know this, so he explained, "Killing the New Year pig is also a custom. In fact, if a family kills a pig, they will notify relatives and neighbors to share it together."

Qi Xuan nodded as if he understood, "Then we can't ask anyone to share." He laughed after he said that. There weren't many people in this village who really treated them well. If they really came to take advantage, it would be difficult to just kick them out. But Qi Xuan was not willing to share with them.

"Then don't kill them. Just buy some ready-made ones." Fu Jingyi also felt it was troublesome. The whole yard would be filled with the smell of blood. Besides, Baiji was also there. It would be bad if anyone was hurt.

"I want to buy more large intestines to make sausages. Have you ever tried grilled sausages?" Qi Xuan was already drooling at the thought of the sizzling grilled sausages. "No," Fu Jingyi replied.

"Then I'll go to the butcher's house and order some large intestines and pig's trotters from him. Do you want anything else?" Fu Jingyi asked Qi Xuan. "Buy some more pork belly. It doesn't matter if you buy more. Put it in the ice cellar for later consumption."

At this time, the peddler's shouting came from outside. After hearing it, Lin Chen called Qi Xuan, "Brother, brother, the peddler is here, let's go see what's new."

"Come on!" Qi Xuan responded and said to Fu Jingyi, "You can buy whatever you want. If the butcher has pig blood, get a basin of it. I want to invite everyone to eat hotpot tomorrow. It's the most comfortable to eat hotpot in cold weather."

Fu Jingyi wrote them down one by one and went out. Lin Chen also took Qi Xuan to see if the peddler had any fresh ones. "What is this?" After the peddler took out the goods one by one, Lin Chen pointed at a green fruit and asked. Qi Xuan also looked over and thought it looked like a green plum, but he couldn't make up his mind.

The peddler looked at what he was pointing at and said with a smile, "These are green plums. They usually mature in August or September. These are the last ones I have this year."

As soon as Qi Xuan finished speaking, he said, "I want them all." Fu Jingyi was not far away at this time, Qi Xuan called him, "Brother Yi, buy some more grain wine."

Fu Jingyi waved his hand to show that he heard it. The peddler was also happy. He liked to come to this shop every time he had new goods, because the young man in this shop was very generous. "Take a look, is there anything else?"

Qi Xuan took a look and bought some spices that could be used in cooking, and Lin Chen bought some embroidery thread. The peddler took the money and left happily, thinking that with this money, his family could have a good New Year.

Lin Chen was puzzled, "Brother, why did you buy these green plums? You also asked Brother-in-law to buy wine, and you still want to drink?"

"Of course not, these plums can be used to make wine." Qi Xuan said as he went to the kitchen to find the remaining yellow rock sugar. He weighed it and waited for Fu Jingyi to come back.

"Make wine? Aren't there still several jars of wine from before?" Lin Chen remembered that his brother had bagged up many jars, which were still placed in a cool corner of the yard.

"Plum wine is suitable for people who can't drink much, like you." Qi Xuan tapped Lin Chen's nose, "And it tastes good, sour and sweet."

Qi Xuan's description instantly aroused Lin Chen's interest in plum wine. "Wow, brother, how long does this need to be soaked?"

"It could take a few months or a year. It's okay, I'll let you drink first. Or when Xiaochen and I get married, we can take the green plum wine with us."

Lin Chen knew that his brother was teasing him again, so he agreed with him and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take them all, including the wine. Take them all for my brother Zheng to drink."

Fu Jingyi also came in at this time, and heard Lin Chen say to take them all away, and he also wanted to tease him, "Xiaoxuan, look, Xiaochen's elbows are already bent outward, and he is his brother Zheng."

"Brother, why are you talking about me?" Lin Chen and Fu Jingyi also started to tease him, and turned around and ran back to the middle shyly, leaving Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan laughing in the yard.

"Brother Yi, you're back." Qi Xuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes because she laughed too happily, and went forward to help Fu Jingyi get things.

"Well, here's the wine you wanted. The butcher said they'll deliver the pig blood and large intestines later today, and I bought eight pig trotters." Fu Jingyi put the wine on the table and said to Qi Xuan, "Wait for him to deliver the pork belly as well. He's very busy there." As they were talking, Chinese New Year was approaching, and everyone was busy preparing some meat for the New Year.
