Chapter 122 New Year's Eve
On New Year's Eve, the snow stopped.

It was rare for Su Mo to be lazy, and it was already Chen's time when he woke up.

She yawned, came out of the warm blanket, quickly put on her clothes, then turned around and pinched the corner of the blanket for Gu Xingnian who was still asleep.

The temperature dropped completely after the snow, and the wind was not strong, but it seemed to condense all the chill, seeping into the bones through the clothes like water.

Su Mo had only been out for a while, and her hands and feet felt cold, and her shoes and socks seemed to be soaked in snow, making them wet and damp.

She rubbed her hands together and hurriedly lit the stove.

The water in the bamboo tube was frozen, not to mention the water in the pond outside. Fortunately, Su Mo had the foresight to fill everything in the house that could hold water.

There is little water in the barrels and these things, and they are also frozen.

The big water tank was frozen. Su Mo smashed the ice surface with a wooden spoon, scooped some water into the pot and boiled it.

When the water boils, take a spoonful and pour it on the side of the wooden barrel. When the ice inside melts, lift it up again, pour it on the pot, and boil it with the remaining hot water in it, and it will melt quickly. .

Su Mo sat on the small table and was warming up by the fire, wisps of white mist came out of his sleeves and shoe uppers.

The stove was very hot, and it warmed up after a while, and her face was hot and flushed.

Taking advantage of her warm body, Su Mo stood up and lit the stove, then took out the kitchen, and quickly ran to the bedroom.

The stove is placed under the table first, and the temperature in the room can rise when you are waiting for dinner. The windows in the room have gaps, so you are not afraid of carbon dioxide poisoning.

After going back and forth, the heat on her body was almost dissipated, and Su Mo sat by the fire for a while before starting to work on breakfast.

The porridge is corn and red bean porridge. There is no rice, just corn and red beans. It is boiled soft and rotten. Putting sugar in it, it is very sweet.

There was one boiled egg per person. It was cold and there was less goat milk, so Su Mo didn't go to milk the goat, but thought about slaughtering the goat one day.

In winter, eat mutton for nourishment.

Considering these unsatisfactory stomachs, Su Mo spread out a few cakes and ate them with porridge.

The porridge will be cooked for a while, and Su Mo takes advantage of this time to spread the noodles. After kneading the noodles, the porridge will be ready.

Su Mo took out the porridge, put it on the tray, put the plate of cakes and the bowl of eggs on it, brought it into the bedroom at once, and put it on the table.

When they went out again, Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian both got up, wearing thick cotton clothes, their bodies were still warm from the quilt, and their cheeks were slightly flushed.

But as soon as they went out, the cold wind drove away all the remaining warmth, occupying every corner of their bodies inhumanely.

Gu Pingan hugged himself with both hands, and went back into the house without looking back.

It's too cold this day.

Gu Jinnian's expression didn't change.

Compared with last winter, they lived in that dilapidated house, wore worn-out cotton clothes given by the villagers, sat on the thatched ground, lit the picked branches, and reported to the group for warmth.

These days, it's not much better.

And all of this is because of her arrival...

Gu Jinnian raised his eyes and looked at Su Mo who came out from the door of the living room. He raised the corners of his lips and walked over.

"mother."

Su Mo followed the voice, nodded in response with a smile, and then saw Gu Pingan shrinking his neck and going back into the room with a very obscene posture.

Su Mo: "..."

"Ping An, why are you going back to the house?"

Gu Ping'an turned around in embarrassment, "Mother, it's too cold today, I'm going to lie down under the quilt, it's warm in the quilt."

"What time is it, go back to bed and lie down."

Su Mo gave him a white look and walked towards the kitchen.

"I lit the stove in the room, and the hot water has been boiled for you. Come and wash up, and then go to my room to have breakfast."

"Oh."

Gu Pingan reluctantly walked into the kitchen.

Gu Jinnian was in a good mood.

Mother just smiled at him.

After washing up, the two children followed Su Mo into the bedroom.

There was breakfast on the table, and Su Mo asked them to eat first, while she walked to the bed with hot water and called Gu Xingnian up.

"Xingnian, get up and have breakfast."

The little girl opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw Su Mo, she stretched out her hand to hug Su Mo's hand, and rubbed it coquettishly.

"mother…"

Su Mo pulled her up, then sat down, letting Gu Xingnian lean on him, and with the other hand, she brought over the clothes she had prepared beside the bed.

"Hey, mother will put clothes on for you."

Gu Xingnian half-opened her sleepy eyes, letting Su Mo manipulate her, her little head was bit by bit, obviously not awake yet.

After the clothes were put on, the little girl fell asleep again.

Su Mo shook her head helplessly, woke her up again, and let her lean against the head of the bed, while she took out the handkerchief soaked in warm water and wrung it dry.

The warm veil was stuck to her face, the little girl regained consciousness, sniffed her nose, Gu Xingnian immediately looked to the window, her fleshy face was flushed.

"Mom, what's for breakfast?"

"I cooked corn and red bean porridge, as well as eggs and bread."

Corn red bean porridge is sweet.

Gu Xingnian's eyes lit up, and he was about to get out of the quilt with a groan.

Su Mo carried her out, put on her shoes and socks, and handed her a willow branch and a bowl of warm water.

"Hey, wait until you rinse your mouth before eating."

Gu Xingnian nodded obediently.

Su Mo waited for her to wash up, went out with water, washed her hands, and then came in for breakfast.

Gu Pingan scooped up the porridge with a spoon in one hand and the cake in the other, his mouth was full of oil.

Gu Xingnian likes to eat sweets, so he takes a sip of the porridge and smashes it, the aftertaste is endless.

Gu Jinnian, on the other hand, sat on the sofa and stared at the door. When Su Mo came in, he handed over the freshly peeled egg.

"Mom, eat eggs."

Su Mo didn't show courtesy to Gu Jinnian, and took it cheerfully. After complimenting how good she was, she ate the egg.

Seeing this, Gu Jinnian handed over the porridge he had weighed. Watching Su Mo move the spoon, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

He sat down and put a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

so sweet.

Su Mo ate quickly, and after finishing a bowl of porridge, Gu Xingnian was still smacking his mouth, savoring the sweetness.

"Xing Nian, don't just drink porridge, eat some cakes, after this meal, you have to wait for Shen Shi to eat the New Year's Eve dinner."

Su Mo said, pushing the cake towards Gu Xingnian, and at the same time not forgetting to tell Gu Pingan and Gu Jinnian.

"You two too, eat more, so you won't be hungry again later, you know?"

The two children nodded obediently.

After breakfast, the three children nestled on the sofa to warm up by the fire, while Su Mo went to work on the New Year's Eve dinner.

This is not only the first year after Su Mo arrived in this world, but also the year when Gu Pingan and his three brothers and sisters changed their destiny.

Su Mo was determined to take care of herself, and she never stopped when she got busy.

For New Year's Eve dinner, fish is naturally indispensable.

Fishing in the village was closed on the 22nd. In previous years, almost all the fish would be sold, and the money could be used to buy some pork, chicken and duck.

But this year everyone has grown vegetables and raised chickens and ducks. They are self-sufficient, and the family has saved a lot of money.

So I didn't sell them all, and kept some as New Year's gifts.

The daughter-in-law's natal family, the daughter's husband's family, in short, those who were too shy to move around because of their lack of money in the past, are now moving around.

And Su Mo also received a lot of fish from the villagers.
