Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

After simply laying a blanket on the ground as a mattress, Jiang Li lay on it, staring blankly at the ceiling, with the whistling wind outside the window and the sound of hail hitting the ground in her ears.

Around midnight, Qin Yue set an alarm and slowly woke up.

She sleepily moved closer to Jiang Li, yawning and mumbling:

"Sister Jiang Li, you go to sleep. I'll keep watch for the rest of the night."

Jiang Li added firewood to the fire and used a hook to pull out some charcoal to make the fire burn brighter.

"Then I'll go lie down. Thank you for your hard work."

Although Qin Yue was on night watch for the second half of the night, Jiang Li didn't fall asleep completely out of habit, and she subconsciously remained alert.

In the morning, sunlight streamed through the fogged glass into the room and shone on the floor.

Jiang Li groggily got out of bed, her eyes a mixture of clarity and drowsiness.

Nowadays, spending the night outdoors is nothing like having the heating on at home, or leisurely brushing your teeth and washing your face; everything has to be kept simple.

Jiang Li rinsed her mouth with hot water and then wiped her face with a towel to clear her head.

Last night, I only had a blanket that had been lying around for who knows how long to cover myself, and it did nothing to keep out the winter heat.

Jiang Li felt cold and shivering in bed.

Ye Jingmo opened the window and looked at the weather outside. The good news was that the hail had stopped, but the bad news was that it was snowing heavily.

The journey back will probably be more difficult than the journey there.

Are we going to spend another day here?

Qin Yu frowned as he looked out the window at the heavy snow.

After pondering for a while, Ye Jingmo shook his head:

"I think it's better to get back on the road."

The house here lacks insulation, and we've almost completely dismantled the furniture. If we stay here, we'll have to go to another house to find some firewood.

It's also uncertain whether this will be enough to sustain us in this situation for as long as we need to stay.

Qin Yu nodded slightly.

"I'll go to the car and cut some beef to make soup for breakfast. We'll eat our fill before we hit the road."

After he finished speaking, he walked out into the snow and came back with a large piece of frozen beef in his hand.

He and Ye Jingmo painstakingly cut it into pieces with a knife.

Jiang Li set up a pot by the fire to boil water and threw in the sweet potato pancakes that she had specially saved yesterday.

Qin Yu added the sliced ​​beef to the pot, and it was ready to eat once the water boiled again.

Qin Yue picked up a slice of beef with her chopsticks and ate it with tears welling up in her eyes.

"It would be great if we had sesame sauce; beef and sesame sauce go perfectly together."

She ate while expressing her feelings.

"Yes, tender beef dipped in the sweet and rich sesame sauce is the perfect accompaniment to hot pot."

Qin Yue and Jiang Li exchanged a knowing glance.

Ye Jingmo put a few pieces of beef from his bowl onto Jiang Li's plate.

"If you want to eat it, we can go back to the base's store and see if they sell it."

We can take it out and eat it during the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Li nodded excitedly.

After breakfast, Jiang Li boiled some water and poured it into a thermos so she could drink some hot water to warm herself up when she got thirsty on the way.

As the departure date approached, Qin Yu even filled a basin with charcoal and placed it in the car to keep warm.

Because of the low outdoor temperature, the car is very difficult to start.

After a night's delay, the two cars were finally able to set off back to the villa.

Driving through the thick snow, the vehicle felt like it was traveling through a white paradise, with everything in sight a vast expanse of white.

Jiang Li strained to see the scene ahead through the binoculars, and actively pointed out the road to Ye Jingmo.
