The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 197 Preparing for the New Year

Vermicelli is not easy to cook, so you need to simmer it in the pot for a while longer. Meanwhile, the ginger and sugar water was ready, and those who were playing snowballs outside were exhausted and sat there. Qi Xuan frowned when he saw them all sitting in the snow, "Hurry up, are you cold? And Lin Chen, Qi Yue, you two go back to the room and change your clothes."

Hearing Qi Xuan's roar, everyone got up at once. Zhang Hui shrank her neck and said to Fu Jingyi, "Your husband is so fierce." After saying this, Fu Jingyi stuffed a neck full of snow. Zhang Hui was so cold that she howled and stamped her feet.

"Alright, all of you, go back to your room and change your clothes." Qi Xuan glared at them and went back to the room to find clothes for them. Qi Zheng and Zhang Hui were both similar in size to Fu Jingyi, so Qi Xuan found two of Fu Jingyi's clothes for them. Lin Chen and Qi Yue didn't need Qi Xuan's help, and held hands and went back to the room to change clothes.

There was a charcoal pot burning in the room, making it warm. After they had packed up, Qi Xuan held a few bowls of ginger sugar water with a stern face, "If anyone doesn't drink it, I'll pinch my nose and force them to drink it." No one dared to speak, and drank all the ginger sugar water obediently.

The pork stewed with vermicelli was ready. Everyone had just changed their clothes and didn't go to the yard to eat. Zhang Hui praised while eating, "This tastes so good. I didn't know this vermicelli is eaten this way. It's still crystal clear after being cooked. It turns out that the ones I ate before were not cooked."

Fu Jingyi said coldly, "Don't forget what you said before." "Go after you finish eating." Qi Zheng picked up a piece of food for Lin Chen and agreed. Lin Chen and Qi Yue covered their mouths and laughed.

Qi Xuan was puzzled, "What are you talking about? What do you know that I don't know?" Qi Yue explained to him that Zhang Hui had just broken the snowman that Fu Jingyi had built for him, so he had to compensate him with a pig. Also, he had just hit Lin Chen several times, so he also had to compensate Lin Chen with a pig. "Xiao Chen said he would give his pig to me and my brother."

Qi Xuan glanced at Zhang Hui, who looked pitiful, and smiled, "Remember to send the pigs over later." After dinner, they sat in the corridor to enjoy the snow scene. Fu Jingyi even set up a small stove and boiled some tea. He brought a few charcoal basins and prepared a blanket for each of Qi Xuan and the other three brothers.

Several people just sat there quietly, no one spoke, but they felt very comfortable. A gust of wind blew through the yard, blowing the snow off the branches, and it happened to fall next to the snowman made by Fu Jingyi. Outside the yard was also covered with snow and fog.

Zhang Hui was really nice and sent the pig in the afternoon, but it was delivered alive. Qi Xuan looked at the pig tied up with four legs and hanging upside down, still screaming, and suddenly felt a little pain in his head. Fu Jingyi came over and found a piece of rag to cover the pig's mouth so that it could not make any sound, and then said, "It's okay, I'll kill it, and we'll kill the New Year pig."

"Do we need to call someone?" Qi Xuan heard him say that the custom of killing the New Year pig is to share the pork with relatives and neighbors. "No need." Fu Jingyi shook his head, "We don't have anyone to share. Godmother has one, so we can just keep it for ourselves."

Qi Xuan really didn't want to share it with others. After hearing what Fu Jingyi said, he chuckled twice and said, "Well, let's close the door and kill them."

Zhang Hui was also sent to Aunt Wang's place. After that, he didn't stay long and went back to see his grandfather. Qi Yue chased him out, "Brother An, wait a minute."

Zhang Hui stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" Qi Yue paused, "How is Grandpa Zhang's life over there? You're not here during this heavy snow, it's not good for him to stay alone."

Qi Yue's worry is not without reason. Doctor Zhang is getting older and older. He used to be able to live on his own, but now Zhang Hui has also returned. "Grandpa doesn't want to go to town with me. I asked him to renovate the house, but he refused. The old man is very stubborn." Zhang Hui was helpless. He and the old man had quarreled several times over this matter.

Aunt Wang frowned when she heard this, "This old man has a stubborn temper, and he has been like this since he was young." When Grandpa Zhang came to this village, Aunt Wang was still as young as a flower, and she had not yet married. One day, she heard that a doctor had come to the village and was going to settle here. Everyone ran to see him out of curiosity, and some even wanted to ask him to see their illnesses.

Some of them thought that Dr. Zhang was deliberately trying to cheat them out of money, and they said some sarcastic things. Dr. Zhang ignored them at the time, but he refused to see them when they came to see him later, saying, "I'm not here to cheat you out of money? You still dare to see me, aren't you afraid that the more you treat me, the worse it will get?"

Those people then begged Doctor Zhang with tears and screams. With a compassionate heart, Doctor Zhang cured their illnesses, but charged them double the medical expenses. He then used the money to buy a lot of medicinal herbs and provided free medical treatment to those poor people.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang couldn't help laughing. Qi Yue hurriedly asked his mother what she was laughing at, and Aunt Wang told them about it. Zhang Hui also laughed, "My grandfather was like this. He used to be..." He paused halfway through his words, "It was like this when he was in Yundu Medical Clinic." Zhang Hui changed the subject. He better not talk about his grandfather's past. If he got to Old Man Zhang's ears, he would be beaten again.

Qi Yue felt that things were going a little off track. "Oh, what I mean is, can we invite Grandpa Zhang to live with us? If he's thinking about his medicinal fields, can't we give him a few more dollars?" "Yes, yes." Aunt Wang also felt that it was not right to let an old man like him live alone in such a remote place.

Zhang Hui shook his head. "It's useless. I've said it many times. I've also mentioned the matter of the medicinal field. But Grandpa said that only this piece of land is suitable for a medicinal field. I don't understand what the soil moisture and softness are."

Qi Yue didn't know what to say for a moment. Could it be that there was no more land to grow medicine? This matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

It's not cold when it snows, but when it melts. A few days after the snow stopped, the unmelted snow gradually froze into ice, and Qi Xuan didn't go out for several days. But the New Year is coming soon, and some New Year's goods must be prepared. Fu Jingyi can't buy them all by himself, so even if he didn't want to go out, Qi Xuan still dressed warmly and went to the town with him. Qi Yue and the others also went together, and Zhang Hui was already waiting for them in the town.

On the way, Qi Yue and Qi Xuan told them about Grandpa Zhang, and Fu Jingyi also felt worried. This old man was really stubborn, "We can only look around the village to see if there is a place close to us that is suitable for making medicinal fields." That was the only way.

When they arrived in the town, Lin Chen and Qi Zheng went to Jinxiu Pavilion first. As the New Year was approaching, the business of Jinxiu Pavilion was booming. Lin Chen took advantage of the fact that he had a lot of inspiration for painting recently and drew some blueprints for the craftsmen. Unexpectedly, they were welcomed by all the ladies and the jewelry they made was sold out several times.

Not wanting to delay everyone from wearing them during the New Year, Lin Chen had no choice but to ask Manager Li to hire some craftsmen and embroiderers from outside to make more, and their wages were doubled.

When coming out of Jinxiu Pavilion, Qi Zheng had a heavy bag of silver in his hand. He put the silver in the backpack and went shopping for New Year's goods with Lin Chen.
