The cold moon comes and the first snow falls.
Every household in the village is sitting in front of the stove.
There are naughty children running wildly in the heavy snow, and adults grab their ears and carry them home.
Today is Mu Qi's last day at work.
Early in the morning, he only drank a bowl of egg water specially prepared for him by Ma Yuehong, then wrapped himself tightly in his cotton-padded jacket and walked into the heavy snow.
There was too much snow and the ground was slippery.
The village's bullock cart is out of use.
Can only walk.
"Fourth uncle, be safe!"
Mu Nannan was wrapped in a quilt, lying on the wooden window and yelling at him.
"Okay -"
Mu Qi turned around and smiled at her, then disappeared into the heavy snow.
Mu Nannan closed the wooden window and retracted his extended head.
In just a short moment, her face was as cold as ice.
She sat on the heated kang heated by firewood, feeling unhappy in her heart:
"Mama Shu, Fourth Uncle is working so hard."
It was freezing weather, and it would take at least an hour for Fourth Uncle to walk to the county seat.
People are freezing into popsicles.
"I want to call my fourth uncle back."
She was afraid that something would happen to her fourth uncle on the road.
Just when Liu Shu wanted to comfort her, she heard Ma Yuehong's voice:
"Beinian, it's snowing so early?"
"Nan Bao is still in bed. It's cold today and her parents didn't let her get out of bed."
"You . Go in and play with her, I'm steaming egg custard and will deliver it to you two later."
There were footsteps at the door, and the door was pushed open with a creak.
The cold wind blew in, and Mu Nannan shrank herself into a thick ball.
When Ji Beinian saw this, he quickly closed the door, patted the snow on his body, and then approached with his backpack on his back.
"Little brother, sit here, it's warm on the bed."
Mu Nannan patted the bed.
Ji Beinian took off his boots and climbed onto the kang.
As soon as he sat down, Mu Nannan came over.
He paused and opened his backpack, and a strong smell of chicken cake came out.
Mu Nannan's eyes lit up and he shrugged his little nose.
Like a greedy little hamster.
Ji Beinian opened the oil paper bag unhurriedly, and found five or six fist-sized chicken cakes still steaming.
The golden luster makes people want to eat it just by looking at it.
He wiped his hands with a handkerchief before picking one up, breaking off a small piece and feeding it to her.
It was sweet and delicious, with the flavor of eggs and milk. Munan Nanmei's big eyes narrowed.
"It's delicious!"
Seeing that he was only focused on feeding her, she said,
"Brother, you should eat too."
Ji Beinian shook his head and said,
"I don't like eating."
He only likes to feed her.
Half of the egg cake was eaten by Mu Nannan. Ma Yuehong came into the room with the egg custard and saw Mu Nannan who was eating deliciously.
"Why did you eat the chicken cake?"
She put the bowl on the small table on the kang and looked at Ji Beinian with a smile:
"Did Beinian bring it here again?"
"Yeah."
Ji Beinian pointed the chicken cake towards her. There was a push over there:
"Grandma Ma, you can eat one too."
The smile on Ma Yuehong's face deepened:
"Good boy, Grandma Ma doesn't want to eat."
She gave the two spoons to each of them:
"There are so many steamed egg custards that Nanbao can't finish them all by himself, so Beinian eats a little for her."
A bowl of egg custard every morning is Nanbao's privilege, and now Ji Beinian can also enjoy it.
He thought for a moment and took a small bite with his spoon.
Ma Yuehong looked at the two of them lovingly.
Beinian was very kind to Nan Bao, and he would give Nan Bao a share of any good things as soon as possible.
She is not heartless, and of course she will love Beinian as her grandson.
