Chapter 57 Snow
It was already late for the two of them to return to Xiao's house.

Xiao Jingshan heated a pot of hot water, and the two of them soaked their feet and got on the kang.

The kang was not big, so the two of them sat facing each other, especially Xiao Jingshan, who was as big as Xiao Jingshan, so it felt a bit crowded. .

Jiang Hao looked at the cramped little house, hesitated for a moment and said, "Third brother, we also have some money in hand. Have you considered building a house?"

The courtyard of the Xiao family is really small, with only three rooms, a kitchen, and a low toilet at the back.Ning's house was as big as the Kang, and she and Qiu Ling lived together.

The main reason is that she sleeps on the same kang with Xiao Jingshan every day, which is really embarrassing.

There is also the issue of bathing, which is simply unbearable. She has only taken a bath once since she wore it, and it was just a scrub.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too cold to sweat and the air was dry, she would have wondered if she smelled bad.

"In the past two days, I asked Uncle Zhao to find a few skilled craftsmen, and we will build it when the spring warms up."

Xiao Jingshan's eyes were gentle, "Don't worry, I will never wrong you if I marry you."

Jiang Hao glanced at him sideways and whispered, "It's as if you don't have to build a house if you don't marry a wife."

Many men in modern times are like this. They buy a house and live with the whole family. As soon as their daughter-in-law comes in, she will take the blame. The house was bought for her, but she will not take the blame.

Xiao Jingshan did not respond and smiled.

To be honest, Jiang Hao had no intention of building a house before he entered the house. He only wanted to cure his mother's illness, raise a safe family, and prepare some dowry to marry off Qiu Ling.

But since I had her in my heart, things were different.

He couldn't let her, a delicate little girl, live such a poor life with her all her life.

Jiang Hao looked at his smile and was a little dumbfounded. Why did this man look so attractive?

……

That night, I don’t know when it started to snow heavily.

The next day, Jiang Hao went out to prepare for cooking. When he opened the door, he saw that the snow was almost up to his thighs.

If you step on it, everyone will be stuck in the snow.

"It's so cold, come inside quickly!"

Xiao Jingshan came out of the kitchen, carrying steamed buns and porridge. His legs were long and he could walk effortlessly in the snow.

"Third brother, you didn't go on duty today?" Jiang Hao shrank his neck and asked as he entered the room.

"Don't worry, no one has set up a stall in such a heavy snow, and we don't need to go out. The superiors have said hello in advance. Just eat the porridge I made."

Xiao Jingshan put the porridge and steamed buns in his hands on the lame table. His pants, shoes and socks were already soaked by the snow, so he simply took them off and went directly to the kang.

Jiang Hao looked at the porridge and steamed buns without feeling much appetite, and secretly regretted that he had forgotten that when he first came here, his eyes turned green from hunger.

After drinking half of it under Xiao Jingshan's gaze, he said he couldn't drink any more.

Xiao Jingshan didn't mind it either, picked up the rest of her porridge and drank it all.

"I'm going into the mountains later. If you have nothing to do, just stay in the house. I've sent steamed buns to Mom and Ping'an's house. You don't have to cook if they're not hungry."

Xiao Jingshan hid himself under the quilt for a while, took out his old leather jacket and told Jiang Hao.

"Going into the mountains to hunt in such thick snow?" Jiang Hao looked out the window at the vast expanse of white.

"The snow is thick so that small prey can't run away. The big ones are hiding. Most people in the village are going today."

It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and it’s almost the time every year when people go into the mountains together. Everyone comes back after hunting some prey and either sells it for money or keeps it for themselves.

Seeing that Xiao Jingshan was about to put on wet shoes and socks, Jiang Hao stopped him, "They're all wet. Stop wearing them. I'll give you new ones."

She took out a pair of thick socks from the sewing basket and animal skin boots from the kang.

These were all done directly in the factory when Xiao Jingshan was alone, and they came in handy.Xiao Jingshan took the boots and looked at Jiang Hao with a hint of secret excitement, "You made it for me too?"

He thought it was only done by that brat Xiao Pingan.

"Keep your mouth tight so the snow won't get your shoes and socks wet."

Xiao Jingshan jumped on the spot wearing thick socks and animal skin boots, feeling very happy.

The days without a wife are really incomparable to those with a wife.

Jiang Hao spent the whole day on the kang, either drawing sample clothes or doing needlework to pass the time.

Hearing noise outside, he stood up and opened the door, and saw Xiao Ping'an shoveling snow, basically clearing a path in the yard.

"Ping An, what are you doing out here in such cold weather?" Jiang Hao called her hurriedly.

Xiao Ping'an's little face turned red from the cold, "I'm wearing thick boots, I'm not cold at all. Sister-in-law, please come in quickly, don't get cold."

He cleared the snow from the yard to make it easier to go out.

This year I’m wearing the new cotton-padded jacket and boots made by my third sister-in-law, and it’s not cold at all.

"Come in quickly, I'll shovel the rest later." Jiang Hao pulled the person into the house.

Xiao Ping'an's hands were so cold that he couldn't straighten them. There were many chilblains and cracks on them, which made Jiang Hao feel uncomfortable.

She asked Xiao Pingan to sit down, went to the kitchen to boil a basin of hot water, and secretly bought chilblain ointment in a porcelain bottle, and asked Xiao Pingan to apply it on him after washing his hands.

Xiao Ping'an smiled and smelled his hand, "Sister-in-law, what kind of ointment is this? It's quite expensive, isn't it?"

"I bought it specifically for you to treat chilblains. I forgot to give it to you. You take the rest and touch it every day. Otherwise, your hands will be itchy in the spring, which will be very uncomfortable for you." Jiang Hao pretended to be angry.

"Thank you, third sister-in-law." Xiao Ping'an's nose turned red again.

His third sister-in-law was so kind to him, even better than his mother.

Since his mother became ill, all he thinks about every day is to work more and make the family more relaxed. It has been a long time since anyone cared about him so much.

Jiang Hao touched his head and said, "Okay, let's go back to the house."

Xiao Pingan was sent away.Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Hao made himself a pair of rabbit skin boots.

There is not much else in the Xiao family, only animal skins, a circle of white fluff around the boots, and two snow-white rabbit tails, which look cute and cute.

Jiang Hao paid the money and was very satisfied. He put down his boots and came to the kitchen to cook.

The path from the door to the kitchen has been cleared by Xiao Ping'an. Her boots are of no use for the time being and are reserved for going out.

It's very cold today, Jiang really wants to make a hot pot, but he doesn't have a suitable pot, so he can only wait to order a pot.

I simply used the vermicelli that I had dried before, soaked it until soft, and made hot and sour noodles.

As soon as I made the soup base, I heard a noise at the door of the courtyard.

Xiao Jingshan and the villagers came back carrying a big beast, as well as a lot of pheasants and hares. It looked like they had a good harvest.

"Brother Xiao, it seems that my sister-in-law can't live without you. She has only been out for a day and she is looking at you at the door!"

Zhao Fugui, who was walking with Xiao Jingshan, saw Jiang Hao at the entrance of the hospital from a distance and couldn't help but tease Xiao Jingshan.

Xiao Jingshan looked at his wife's figure, and his heart felt hot even in the cold weather.

With a loud voice and a bit of complacency, he said, "That's because my wife feels sorry for me going into the mountains in the cold weather. Look at my boots, they are so warm for my feet. If you are jealous, you will marry me too!"

Zhao Fugui and several other unmarried young men couldn't help gritting their teeth as they looked at Xiao Jingshan, walking numbly on his feet that had long been numb due to the cold.

Showing off after showing off all the way is too much!
The remaining married men were also itching to hear this. Xiao Laosan seemed to have no mother-in-law, but their mother-in-law didn't know how to use animal skins to make boots.
