"Big country, Second country, you guys stay here and chat with Xia Zhi. Grandma and Aunt Xu will go make you a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach."

"Thank you, grandma." Qiao Daguo and Qiao Erguo politely thanked grandma.

"It's really cold in the north in winter. I was shivering as soon as I got off the train."

As Qiao Daguo said this, he asked Xia Zhi to pour him another bowl of sweet wine.

Qiao Erguo agreed: "Yes, when we came from Wuyang County, it snowed a little at night. I thought we were dressed enough, but we were still cold after getting off the train."

Qiao Xiazhi looked at the two people who were wearing relatively thin clothes and smiled: "Why didn't you write to me and tell me before you came, so that I could pick you up."

"It's your first time in the north. You don't know how cold it is here. You don't know to prepare a coat in advance. Put it on when you get off the train."

"Hurry up, drink something hot to warm yourself up, don't catch a cold."

As he was speaking, Qiao Xiazhi added some spiritual spring water into the kettle while Qiao Daguo and Qiao Erguo were not paying attention.

Ever since her spiritual spring water came through time and space and became super concentrated spiritual spring water, she can only release five liters of it every day.

Because of the restrictions, it cannot be used unlimitedly, and the effect on body conditioning is very obvious, so she doesn't drink the spiritual spring water all the time.

Just make sure that everyone in your family has a drink or two every day.

The rest is put out every day and stored for future use.

The eldest brother and the second brother had been freezing all the way to bring something to her, so a cup of this spiritual spring water was essential.

Otherwise, she would feel guilty to death if she got sick.

"When you wrote back earlier, it was almost New Year's Day when we received it. You thought we would come over after New Year's Day, and you were afraid that your letter might arrive before us, so you didn't write it."

"You're pregnant, and your family is so happy. They were worried that it would be inconvenient for you to exchange eggs and food outside, so grandpa asked me and dad to ask the team to exchange 200 kilograms of food for you."

"And eggs. I exchanged them for 200 eggs in total for you. I also slaughtered five chickens for you. When the brigade was slaughtering pigs and distributing the meat, I bought you 30 kilograms of meat and made it into bacon to bring over."

"Also, the weather here is cold, so grandma, mom, and your sister-in-law made two sets of thick cotton-padded clothes for you."

After hearing what his elder brother said about what he brought, Qiao Xiazhi felt touched and extremely warm.

"Didn't I tell you last time when I went back on the eleventh that I have stockpiled a lot of food here? Your brother-in-law also found a way to get me a lot of eggs. Now I can eat two or three eggs every day."

"If you don't believe me, look. There are not only eggs, but also malted milk and milk powder. We drink and eat them every day." Qiao Xiazhi said as he opened the oversized locker in the room.

It was filled with grains, eggs, milk powder and malted milk.

"As for the meat, in this cold winter, I asked your brother-in-law to build a large natural freezer in the yard, and then stored all the meat, chicken, and large bones in it."

"It's also convenient to take it out and stew it every day."

The temperature in the north is low. If you fill a large bucket with water and leave it in the yard overnight, the water on the outside will freeze into ice.

Wait until the next day and pour out the unsolidified water in the middle and it will become a hollow, natural freezer.

It is too cold to go out to buy groceries every day in winter. Every week when Jiang Yunchen comes back, he will buy a lot of meat and big bones. If he can buy a chicken, he will also buy it.

So Qiao Xiazhi will not be missing from the meal.

Especially for the four children in her belly, Jiang Yunchen was more worried and concerned than anyone else.

Seeing that his younger sister's family had indeed stockpiled a lot of food, Qiao Daguo felt relieved.

Coming here to deliver gifts was secondary. He actually came here on behalf of the whole family to see her and see how she was doing here.

Now that they saw this yard and saw that Xia Zhi was going well, they had nothing to worry about.

Although it was cold outside, the house was very warm and even more comfortable than the house in their hometown.

As long as you don't go out, you won't be cold.

"It's okay. Just eat more and eat slowly since I brought it to you. Before I came, I was worried about how you would survive the cold winter. Now that we're here and see where you live, we feel relieved." Qiao Daguo said.

After saying that, Qiao Daguo took out 130 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Xiazhi: "This 100 yuan is what my mother asked me to give you. Twenty of the 30 yuan is for my eldest aunt, and ten is for my youngest aunt."

Qiao Xiazhi looked at the money that Qiao Daguo handed over and accepted it without saying much. It was all about everyone's love for her.

Qiao Erguo also took out thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Xiazhi.

It was all family love. There was no reason for Qiao Xiazhi to refuse. He just accepted it all.

Qiao Daguo and Qiao Erguo stayed here for only two days. On the third day they went back because if they didn't go back it would be the New Year.

Qiao Xiazhi wanted to keep them here for the New Year, but the weather was not good this year and they were worried about their family, so they wanted to go back early.

Qiao Xiazhi didn't try to keep them, since they weren't going back home for the New Year, so he took his eldest brother and second brother and bought some things here to take back.

The eldest and second aunts still only give money secretly.

Then, on the third day, they were sent on the train.

When they first came, Su Fang helped greet Uncle Lu, so they were able to come here smoothly with so many things.

On the way back, Uncle Lu naturally recognized the two brothers and knew to take good care of them without asking them.

However, Qiao Xiazhi still sent Uncle Lu two kilograms of bacon and a bottle of good wine.

Just consider it as a New Year gift.

After seeing his elder brother and younger brother board the train safely, Qiao Xiazhi prepared to go home.

As soon as I turned around, I almost bumped into a child of about twelve or thirteen years old.

After all, Qiao Xiazhi was different from others. He reacted quickly and successfully dodged by just turning sideways.

Otherwise, the collision would be terrible.

The child hit nothing and fell directly to the ground.

Aunt Xu stepped forward and helped the child up.

When the child stood up, he just raised his hand and was about to reach into Aunt Xu's pocket, but was caught by Qiao Xiazhi.

The child knew he was discovered, so he struggled to break free from Qiao Xiazhi's hand and ran away.

Aunt Xu, who didn't understand what was going on, looked confused.

"This kid is so fussy. Are you okay?"

Qiao Xiazhi shook his head: "I'm fine, let's go home."

After coming out of the train station, Qiao Xiazhi and his friends were planning to take a three-wheeled motorcycle home.

But then the sound of beating was heard from a nearby alley.

"You idiot, useless thing. If you can't even do this little job, what's the point of keeping you?"

The person being beaten made no sound, not even a groan.

He just let the tall man punch and kick him.

Qiao Xiazhi naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business at this time, after all, he was not alone now.

It was just curiosity that made her unable to help but glance over there, and she saw that the person who was beaten was the child who had just bumped into her.

Is it because he failed to succeed in getting what he wanted from her that he got beaten?

"Let's go." Aunt Xu had negotiated the price with Sanbengzi and reminded Qiao Xiazhi in a low voice.

"Yeah." Qiao Xiazhi withdrew his gaze, and the tall man who beat someone happened to look at Qiao Xiazhi.

Then he watched Qiao Xiazhi and the others get on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

When the tall man discovered that the other party was just two women, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Go call some of the guys over, there's business coming."

The little boy who had just been beaten immediately called over a few of his brothers at the train station.

The tall man hired a three-wheeled motorcycle and quickly chased in the direction where Qiao Xiazhi and the others left.

Because Qiao Xiazhi was pregnant with four little ones, Aunt Xu asked the three-wheeled motorcycle driver to ride slowly.

The tall man and his men quickly caught up and followed behind them.

There were still people on the road at this time, and the tall man was not in a hurry to stop them.

Instead, he just followed quietly, preparing to take action when he got to a place where there was no one around.

It's so cold, and there are fewer and fewer people after leaving the train station.

Some small streets were completely deserted.

"Master, let's go around to the alley on the left. It's closer there." Qiao Xiazhi said.

"Okay." The master agreed and obediently followed Qiao Xiazhi's request, turning a corner and going through the alley on the left.

At this time, the master and Aunt Xu didn't know that the three-wheeled motorcycle behind them was following them.

Aunt Xu didn't think much about it at the time. It was cold, so it was normal to take a detour.

However, not long after they entered the alley, when it was empty, the three-wheeled motorcycle following them suddenly accelerated and blocked them.
