Chapter 68 pt 2 (1/2)

On the other end, Xue TingRang waited for a while, but instead of seeing her approaching, he heard the sound of the abacus beads and felt aggrieved in his heart.

He wanted to call her but didn’t have the face, so he rubbed her feet with his calf and nudged her over and over with hatred.

“Don’t bother me. Wait until I finish this.” She swept him with her leg with disgust, and Xue TingRang’s resentment grew even greater. Just as he was about to say something, there was a sound of talking outside, and then a familiar voice rang loudly. It was Mao Badou.

The two of them got off the kang hurriedly, put on thick clothes again, and then lifted the cotton curtain to go out.

There was a mule cart parked in front of the courtyard. Not only Mao Badou but also Li Datian and Chen Jian came.

The three of them wore thick cotton-padded jackets and cotton caps on their heads. Their cheeks were red from the cold, and their mouths breathed white gas.

Xue Qinghuai, who was leaning on the wooden ladder and watching the third brother shoveling snow on the roof, said: “Tingzi, they said it was your classmate.”

“Fourth uncle. They are my classmates.” Xue TingRang replied, and then said to the three of them: “Why are you here? How did you find me?”

Zhao’er greeted them from the side: “Quickly come and sit. Come in and talk.”

Li Datian went and drove the mule cart in. At this time, Xue Qingbai also got off the ladder, and Xue Qinghuai helped untie the mule. Then one person pulled the cart aside, and the other led the mule into the barn.

It’s freezing cold today, and the livestock cannot be left out anymore.

Li Datian hurriedly thanked him, and then walked into the house with everyone.

Mao Badou smiled and said, “Your home belongs to Yuqing Village, and there is a road near me. That’s why I found you. I was too bored in the house, so I ran to look for Datian, and then took Datian to look for Ah Jian. I came to you last.”

The cotton curtain hanging in front of the door was lifted, and a rush of heat rushed toward his face.

Mao Badou stomped his feet several times and stomped off the snow on his feet before he said, “Hey, this place is so warm.” As he said this, he leaned towards the brazier.

Several people sat in a group in front of the brazier. Mao Badou was still complimenting that the brazier was so good, and he said that he would make one at home when he went back.

Li Datian scoffed at him, saying that he was fooling around. The town was different from the countryside. There were very few kangs burning. Most of them burned charcoal and used the brazier. Was he not afraid of burning the house?

When talking about this, Mao Badou was in bitter tears. Speaking of the comfort in winter, the town is really not comparable to the countryside. The countryside is full of firewood. From the beginning of autumn, the villagers start to collect firewood for the winter, and in winter they keep the kang warm at home.

But it’s not the same in town because the place is small and it’s inconvenient to burn wood. Don’t look at how Mao Badou is fat, but he is just a bit fat, and his fat is neither heat-resistant nor cold-resistant. When it snows outside, he curls up on the couch and can’t get off. Because he got bored from lying on the couch and spending a long time at home, he decided to come to the countryside to play.

“The fire pit in your house is really big, and your dog is fat.” The teenager from town came to the countryside for the first time and felt that everything was so novel. He praised Heizi so much that even the dog looked at him, thinking that this man was really ignorant even though he is a town resident.

“After you have dried your trousers, you can go to the kang since the kang is warm.”

“Zhao’er Jie is beautiful and hardworking, she is simply a flower in our Huyang Township.” Mao Badou said sweetly.

Li Datian exposed him: “You have said this to Yanran Jie.”

“Really?” Mao Badou looked shocked: “You must have remembered wrong.”

Even if Xue TingRang discredited him more than once, Zhao’er still felt that Mao Badou was very likable. She smiled and said: “I bought a lamb before it snowed at home, and the meat was frozen outside. Yesterday I chopped a piece of it to defrost. It just so happened that you came, so I will make you a lamb stew at noon.”

“Zhao’er Jie is so good. I knew that there would be delicious foods here.”

This is the reason why the four of them would rather go so far just to come to Xue’s house. Because they have delicious food.
