Lu Yinheng left that evening and didn't return until noon the next day, covered in snow and wind.

Seeing her son return, Gu Chunzhi quickly brought over a clean cloth, saying, "Hurry up and dry your hair, or you'll get headaches when you get old."

After Lu Yinheng took the cloth, she asked again, "Have you eaten? Your wife made pancakes for lunch, they were delicious. She saved a few for you, they're still warming up on the stove. Change your clothes and eat quickly."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yinheng felt a warmth in his heart. He looked around and, seeing that only his mother was home, couldn't help but ask, "Where are the others?"

"Your wife says the snow is going to continue for who knows how long! Anyway, we've almost finished furnishing the new house, so we might as well move in sooner rather than later."

Gu Chunzhi said with a smile, "She took her two children and went over there first, saying she was going to tidy up."

As she spoke, she pulled Lu Yinheng aside and whispered, "When Shuangniang first came to our house, she was a bit immature. But lately, I've noticed that she's getting better and better. You shouldn't always have such a long face in front of her; it's just annoying."

Lu Yinheng looked at his mother with a complicated expression, somewhat speechless. "Mother, don't worry about my affairs. I know what I should do."

"You know nothing." Gu Chunzhi rolled her eyes at him. "I think your wife doesn't want to talk to you at all. If you keep wearing that long face all day, you'll drive her away. Don't blame me for not warning you."

Lu Yinheng paused in his hair-drying motion, his thoughts drifting to Ji Yunshuang. It seemed she really didn't want to talk to him lately.

Was it because she sensed his coldness? Or was she playing hard to get? Or something else entirely?

Gu Chunzhi was unaware of her eldest son's complicated thoughts. Seeing that he didn't respond to her, she felt quite annoyed. Carrying two bundles, she went to the new house in a huff.

In the new house, Lu Wuzheng had already set up the beds in each room. In addition, the large dining table and benches in the main room, the kitchen cabinets, and other urgently needed furniture were all ready.

There are also some five-drawer chests, small coffee tables, etc., which haven't been made yet.

However, Ji Yunshuang felt that the current furniture no longer affected her daily life.

The bedding and other quilts needed for the bed have already been prepared. Only a few small items need to be added before moving in.

She glanced at the ground outside. The snowfall hadn't lasted long, and there wasn't much snow on the official road yet, so it wouldn't affect her journey.

Under the guise of concealment, she took out some pastries from her spatial storage and gave them to the two children, saying, "You two stay home with your second uncle and stay here. I'm going out for a bit."

"Mother, it's snowing outside. Where are you going?" Lu Yuzhu asked her mother with her big, worried eyes.

Ji Yunshuang pinched her cheek and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just going to buy some things, I'll be back soon."

Lu Yanqi said, "I see that the house is quite well-equipped. Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Seeing his awkward expression, Ji Yunshuang chuckled and asked, "Are you worried about me?"

"I didn't care about you at all!" Xiao Yanqi said coldly, her face full of disdain.

Ji Yunshuang reached out and ruffled his hair, saying, "You're clearly concerned, but you insist on pretending not to care. Why are you so awkward at such a young age?"

"Don't rub my head like you're petting a dog." Lu Yanqi pouted, but did not avoid Ji Yunshuang's touch.

Ji Yunshuang gave him a couple more squeezes without any hesitation before laughing and saying, "I'm leaving, you stubborn little dumpling."

Lu Yanqi: "..."

Lu Yuzhu said sweetly, "Mother, it's snowing outside, be careful!"

"I know, my good daughter." Ji Yunshuang squatted down, kissed her on the cheek, and then got up and left.

Lu Yanqi looked disgusted, but that didn't stop him from staring at the path outside the house until Ji Yunshuang completely disappeared from sight before he took his short legs and left the doorway.

After arriving in Hongdu by carriage, Ji Yunxia bought incense, candles, paper money, brooms, and other items from a shop, and then drove the carriage to her new shop.

The new shop is currently empty, which makes it convenient for her to enter the space.

After the apocalypse, not only is there air pollution and plant mutation, but there are also zombies and viruses everywhere, as well as extremely difficult weather.

After her rebirth, in order to cope with the extreme weather after the apocalypse, she stockpiled a lot of solar generators, kerosene, gasoline, steel, charcoal and other supplies in her space.

Since it was inconvenient to take out supplies such as solar generators, kerosene, and gasoline for the time being, Ji Yunshuang decided to take out some steel and coal for use temporarily.

Besides steel and charcoal, I also took out some of the new bowls, chopsticks, and other small items needed for the new house, as well as some flour and other grains.

She loaded her car with a full load of things, picked up Lu Xumu and his brother from Tianxiangfang before returning home.

According to local custom, the first step in moving into a new house is to choose an auspicious day and then offer sacrifices to the local earth god.

Afterwards, invite relatives and friends, cook a pot of sweet soup or something similar, and sit together in the room to make the house lively and full of life.

Although no master was consulted to choose the date, Ji Yunshuang was considered by Gu Chunzhi, Lu Wuzheng and others to be a person blessed by the gods. She said that today was the day to move, so today must be an auspicious day.

Gu Chunzhi immediately led her people to make preparations.

When Ji Yunshuang returned with Lu Xumu and his brother, they first offered incense, candles, and paper money to the local earth god, and then invited several families in the village with whom they had a good relationship to come and visit.

Besides the Mu and Zhou families, who fled from Yunshui Village together and had a good relationship, there was also the Zhao family, the Fang family, and the Wang Erniu family.

Fang Zijian learned that the Lu family was celebrating their new house today, so he specially prepared a gift and came to present it.

Besides the guests invited by the Lu family, two uninvited guests also arrived at the Lu family today.

Holding several bolts of luxurious cloth, Li Yaozong looked at Ji Yunshuang with a fawning expression and said, "Sister, your family is moving into your new house today. I wish you a prosperous new home, a peaceful and wealthy life, many descendants, and abundant blessings and riches."

Ji Yunshuang glanced coldly at Ji Wanying, who quickly pulled her headscarf tighter, revealing a weak and pleading expression.

Ji Yunshuang then said, "Guests are welcome, please come in and sit down!"

The two entered the room, and Ji Yunshuang didn't pay much attention to them, turning around to go to the kitchen to busy herself.

In the new house in the countryside, Ji Yunshuang set up two ovens in the kitchen.

Today she used an oven to roast duck and pork belly.

In the large iron pot on the stove, the sweet soup was boiling. Aunt Zhou and Niu Dahua were ladling the sweet soup into bowls while muttering auspicious words like "May wealth roll in."

After the two women carried the sweet soup out, Ji Wanying came to the kitchen and whispered, "Sister, Li Yaozong has obtained a kind of medicine. He wants to secretly feed it to you. Be careful."

Ji Yunshuang looked at her coldly, and Ji Wanying immediately felt guilty.

She clenched her fists tightly, trying to suppress her fear, and said, "He insisted on dragging me here today. If you don't want to see me, I'll leave now."

Ji Yunshuang said, "Why are you leaving? Stay and watch the show!"

Ji Wanying didn't know whether she knew the truth about the medicine in Li Yaozong's hand, but Ji Yunshuang asked her to stay, so she had no choice but to obediently stay.
