Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Yu Nuan went back inside and stoked the fire in the stove to ward off the cold outside. With the snow falling so heavily, there was nowhere to go. After finishing breakfast, Yu Nuan sat by the stove with a book in her hands. After a while, she suddenly remembered a time in her past life when she and her friends ate roasted sweet potatoes during a snowfall—warm and delicious.

Yu Nuan went to the kitchen, picked out a few small sweet potatoes, buried them in the stove, and checked on them every now and then, eagerly waiting for them to cook. Just thinking about the hot, sweet roasted sweet potatoes made her mouth water. In the late afternoon, the snow stopped, leaving a thick layer on the ground. Yu Nuan stepped out of the room and looked at the vast expanse of white. The sun shone brightly on the earth, its intense white light so dazzling that Yu Nuan couldn't open her eyes. She shielded her eyes with her hand, and it took a minute or two for her vision to adjust.

Looking at the snow-white world, Yu Nuan felt an urge to have a snowball fight. However, since she was alone, she couldn't really play. Yu Nuan went back inside to get ready, put on a thick coat, and wore the scarf and gloves that Li Xiaoni had knitted for her. Then she went out to the yard to build a snowman and had a great time playing by herself.

After a lot of effort, Yu Nuan finally finished building the snowman. She found a carrot and attached it as the snowman's nose, completing the last step. Looking at her finished product, Yu Nuan felt it was very good and was eager to share it with others. However, in this place, Yu Nuan was only familiar with Wu Xianya and the others from the educated youth compound. Her home was still a bit far from the educated youth compound, and now that it had snowed, the roads were definitely covered in snow that hadn't been cleared yet.

Yu Nuan felt a moment of disappointment, and the joy she wanted to share faded away.

"Little snowman! I've built you so beautifully, but it's such a pity that only I can see it!" Yu Nuan muttered to herself as she looked at the snowman. "If only I had a cell phone." Yu Nuan suddenly missed cell phones from her future life. With a cell phone, she could post on social media and share her good mood with friends without having to meet them in person.

Speaking of cell phones, Yu Nuan suddenly remembered that she seemed to have collected cell phones in her past life. She quickly went back to her room and entered her spatial dimension. In her bedroom, she found a new cell phone, still in its packaging. Having waited so long, Yu Nuan wasn't sure if it had any power, so she prepared to turn it on and test it. Yu Nuan was lucky; the phone still had power, probably due to the flow of time within her spatial dimension, where time was relatively still. However, this also reminded Yu Nuan that if she had the chance, she should definitely put a generator in her spatial dimension so she wouldn't have to worry about running out of power.

Yu Nuan took out her phone and enthusiastically snapped several photos of the snowman, including one of her posing with it. She thought it would be nice to keep these photos as a keepsake. As she took more pictures, she felt something was missing. She flipped through the photos on her phone, then dressed the snowman in her own hat, gloves, and scarf, making it look much better. After taking quite a few more, Yu Nuan felt a chill. Even though she knew she was healthy, she didn't dare to be careless and quickly went back inside to warm up, lest she catch a cold.

The next morning, Yu Nuan got up early and swept the yard clean, pushing all the snow into the vegetable garden in the yard. Yu Nuan planned to plant some vegetables next year, otherwise taking vegetables from her space would arouse suspicion.

Yu Nuan could hear the sounds of children playing and laughing in the distance from her courtyard, mixed with the voices of villagers talking. The lively atmosphere made Yu Nuan want to go out and find out what was going on. It turned out that the village children had gathered in the wide wheat field in the middle of the village to have a snowball fight, while the village chief was organizing the village men to clear the village roads.

After finishing reading, Yu Nuan was about to go back inside when she heard someone calling her from afar. Looking up, she saw Zhang Nana and the others. They must have seen her and were calling out to her loudly. Yu Nuan waited at the door for them to approach.

"Why did you come on such a cold day?"

"Let's go inside and talk, I'm freezing," Zhang Nana said, and went inside first.

Yu Nuan went straight to the kitchen and brought everyone a cup of hot water. When she returned to the house, Zhang Nana and the others were already sitting by the stove, warming themselves by the fire.

"Here, have some hot water to warm yourself up. What brings you here?" Given how cold it was, Yu Nuan could only assume that something was wrong.

"It's nothing, it's just that the educated youth compound is too cold, we can't stand it, so we came here to warm up by the fire," Wu Xianya explained to Yu Nuan.

"Huh? Your stove is broken?"

“No, the coal we were given isn’t enough to last us through the winter. Brother Li and the others didn’t cut much firewood either, so they have to use it sparingly. That’s why we thought we’d come here to use your stove,” Zhang Nana added from the side.

"Then you should come often in the future, or I can share some coal with you." Actually, Yu Nuan didn't get much according to the quota, and she didn't have any of these things in her own space. Yu Nuan wanted to buy them on the black market, but she didn't know where the black market was; she had only heard that such a place existed. Helpless, Yu Nuan thought that she would stay in her space when she was alone, so she wouldn't be cold.

Just a few days ago, Shen Chenyi somehow managed to bring over 300 jin of coal, solving Yu Nuan's immediate problem. When Yu Nuan tried to give him money, Shen Chenyi refused, so Yu Nuan gave him all the several kinds of sauces she had made. These were sauces she had kept for herself, made with spring water from her spatial storage, and Yu Nuan thought they tasted delicious. Yu Nuan didn't care if anyone found out; Shen Chenyi had helped her so much, and she couldn't accept it without feeling guilty.

"How could we accept yours? These things aren't easy to come by." Wu Xianya refused without even thinking. They had already accepted quite a few things from Yu Nuan, and even if they were close, they couldn't accept her care so unconditionally.

"That's right, we'll come often in the future, just don't find it a bother," Li Xiaoni waved her hand and refused repeatedly.

"No, I'd love to. I'd be bored all by myself if you didn't come. It's too cold outside, and I really don't want to go out. I won't feel bored if you come."

"Yu Nuan, I saw a snowman outside. Did you build it?" Zhang Nana felt there was no need to ask; only she would have the leisure to build such an exquisite snowman.

"Mmm, isn't it pretty?" Yu Nuan asked everyone, just like a little girl showing off her toys to her friends.

"It looks really good. Only you would dress up a snowman like that." Wu Xianya stood by the window looking at the snowman, and saw Yu Nuan putting her new scarf and hat on it. They wouldn't have done that. To be honest, Wu Xianya was quite envious of Yu Nuan. She got a job as soon as she went to the countryside, and her parents loved her and sent her a big package every time. Unlike her family, since she went to the countryside, they acted as if she didn't exist, and the letters she sent back never came back.

Recalling these memories, Wu Xianya's sadness spread endlessly. Yu Nuan saw Wu Xianya standing by the window, lost in thought, so she walked over to her side and asked, "Sister Xianya, what are you thinking about? You can't hear me when I talk to you."

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some things." Yu Nuan's question interrupted Wu Xianya's memories and also made Wu Xianya stop being immersed in sadness.

Wu Xianya wasn't used to showing her vulnerability to her friends, so she forced herself to cheer up. Wu Xianya clearly understood that everyone has their own life, so envy wouldn't change anything, and she needed to learn to forget the unhappy things.
