As the weather grew colder, Li Xiaoxiao made three batches of chopped pepper sauce at the request of Manager Zhao and sent them to Xiangmanlou branches across the country.

Yun Che, who was far away in the capital, watched the weather grow colder and colder. Thinking of the thatched cottage where Li Xiaoxiao lived, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He picked up the pen on the table and started making a list. Soon, he filled up a page.

He called Yun Yi in and asked him to prepare the information on the paper as quickly as possible and send it to Li Xiaoxiao's home in Lijia Village.

Yun took a look and saw that there were some food and daily necessities inside, including rice, flour, cotton, cloth, charcoal, etc. There were also several thick quilts and several sets of warm clothes, as well as some medicinal herbs and condiments for daily use.

Yun Che specifically instructed Yun Yi to select high-quality items suitable for winter use to ensure that Li Xiaoxiao's family could stay warm during the winter.

Yun Yi knew that Yun Che cared deeply about Li Xiaoxiao, so he immediately took action and personally supervised the selection and packing of each item to ensure that every bit of care could be delivered accurately.

He also specially arranged an experienced caravan who were familiar with the mountain roads and could reach Lijia Village quickly and safely in the severe cold.

A few days later, when Li Xiaoxiao was busy at home making final preparations for the coming cold winter, there was suddenly a noise outside the door.

She put down the work in her hands and walked out of the yard, only to see a simply decorated carriage parked in front of the door. Yun Yi was standing beside the carriage, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Miss Li, my master is worried that you and your family will catch a cold in winter, so he specially asked me to prepare these supplies and send them to you." Yun Yi said as he signaled the driver to unload the goods from the car one by one.

Li Xiaoxiao watched the scene before her, her heart surging with indescribable emotion. She had never expected that Yun Che, who was so far away in the capital, would consider her needs so carefully. This concern made her feel warm at heart.

"Brother Yun, please thank Young Master Yun on my behalf. I, Li Xiaoxiao, will always remember his kindness." Li Xiaoxiao said gratefully, with slightly red eyes.

Yun Yi smiled and nodded, then gave Li Xiaoxiao a few more words of advice to take care of herself before turning around and preparing to leave. Before leaving, he quietly slipped a small package into Li Xiaoxiao's pocket, saying it was a small gift Yun Che had prepared specially for her and he hoped she would like it.

Li Xiaoxiao watched Yun Yi and the caravan go away, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

She returned to the house and opened the package Yun Che had sent her. Inside was an exquisite cookbook containing many dishes and snacks suitable for winter.

She knew that this was not just a recipe, but also a token of Yun Che's love for her. He hoped that she would not only be physically warm but also spiritually nourished during this winter.

As night fell, Li Xiaoxiao and her family sat around the fire, enjoying the warmth and convenience brought by the supplies sent by Yun Che.

She secretly vowed to work harder, live up to Yun Che's expectations and care, and create a better life with her own hands. At the same time, she also looked forward to the day when she could personally go to the capital to express her gratitude to Yun Che.

The next day, a gray drizzle fell from the sky, making the already cold weather even colder and damper. Li Xiaoxiao put on the winter clothes made for her by Bai Shi, and told Li Fang and Li Linlin to dress warmly as well and be careful not to catch a cold.

Li Fang and Li Linlin smiled and nodded. After several months of care, both Li Fang and Li Linlin had gained a lot of weight and looked cuter than before. Li Fang had also grown a lot taller.

Li Xiaoxiao opened the door and a cold breeze hit her in the face. She couldn't help but take a breath. She rubbed her slightly red hands, put on a hat and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

Although the weather is gloomy and cold, Li Xiaoxiao's backyard vegetable garden is full of vitality.

She carefully takes care of the vegetables that still grow tenaciously in winter, such as cabbage, radish and spinach, which are rare sources of green and nutrition in winter.

The raindrops brushed against the leaves, bringing a hint of freshness and moisture. It also reminded her of Yun Che's warm care, and her heart felt stronger.

While Li Xiaoxiao was busy, she was thinking about how to use these vegetables to make some delicious and warm dishes so that her family could feel the warmth and happiness of home in the cold weather.

She thought about the recipes Yun Che had sent her, her heart filled with anticipation and inspiration. She decided to try a few new dishes tonight and let her family have a taste.

Back inside, Li Xiaoxiao began to get busy. She first collected the rice and flour Yun Che had brought, preparing them for dinner. Then, she selected a few fresh vegetables, washed them, and began cooking according to the recipe. The aroma that filled the kitchen drew Li Fang and Li Linlin in, their eyes sparkling in anticipation for dinner.

At dinnertime, the family gathered around the fire, enjoying a meal carefully prepared by Li Xiaoxiao. The table featured not only steaming hot rice and fluffy white steamed buns, but also several delicious new dishes, such as braised radish, stir-fried spinach, and a warming soup specially prepared for winter. Each dish was imbued with Li Xiaoxiao's love for her family, as well as Yun Che's care, which transcended thousands of miles.

After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao sat by the fire, holding the cookbook Yun Che had given her, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth. She knew this gift wasn't just material help, but also spiritual support and encouragement. She secretly resolved to work harder, not only to take good care of her family but also to continuously improve her cooking skills, hoping to one day cook a meal for Yun Che herself to express her gratitude.

As the night deepened, the sound of rain outside the window seemed to become softer. Li Xiaoxiao looked out the window at the hazy rain curtain, her heart filled with longing and hope for the future.
