Chapter 188: Ice and Snow Courtyard
Chapter 188: Ice and Snow Courtyard
Perhaps there were too many bandits, the kitchen in the mountain village was very large, even the stove and the pot were very big.
It just so happened that Qin Yan used to have a big pot at home.
They also took it with them when they fled famine.
However, there was no chance to use it along the way, and Shen Nuo put it into the space.
Now, I finally have the chance to use this big pot.
After washing the pot, Qin Yan lit the fire and added a lot of firewood to the stove.
Then pour all the clean snow in the wooden barrel into the pot.
The stove is very large and the fire inside is burning very brightly.
Qin Yan also added a few large pieces of firewood into it, and it looked like it could burn for a long time.
Shen Nuo just sat there and didn't need to add any more firewood.
He pursed his lips. A'Yan just didn't want him to work, so he deliberately filled the stove with firewood.
"Haha, be good, Nuonuo is already very good, you don't need any help."
"Can I go out and help shovel the snow?"
Shen Nuo wanted to play in the snow as he hadn’t played enough that day.
His thoughts were written on his face, and Qin Yan could see it clearly.
Seeing that Shen Nuo really wanted to go play, he had no choice but to say:
"Nono, it's okay to go out and play, but you have to wear gloves. Look, I'm wearing gloves."
Shen Nuo actually wanted to turn into a little fox and go out to play, but there were too many people in the village and he couldn't turn into a fox at will.
I just nodded:
"Okay, then wear gloves before you go out."
Qin Yan picked up the gloves from the side and put them on him, and he put them on quickly.
"Okay, you can go out now."
Shen Nuo took out a small shovel from the space and walked out behind Qin Yan.
There were other villagers making fire next to the stove, so Qin Yan asked them to help watch the fire and prevent it from falling out.
Shen Nuo thanked others.
"It's just a small favor. I'm just watching. You're welcome."
Many elderly people have nothing to do and usually just keep themselves busy.
In the past, people in the village went to farm every day, and then fled from famine. Now that we have finally stopped, we have nothing to do.
Now I wish there was something for them to do.
Qin Yan carried the wooden barrel and took Shen Nuo out.
He specifically brought Shen Nuo to the small hillside at the back of the mountain, which was also surrounded by the mountain village.
“The snow here will be much cleaner.”
It hadn't been walked on, and there were no trees, so there wouldn't be any wood falling into the snow.
The snow was very thick. Qin Yan shoveled away with his shovel and shoveled up a large amount of snow.
It didn't take long for the wooden barrel to be filled up. Shen Nuo still had some snow shoveled in his hand with the small shovel, and he was holding it here, feeling it was neither right to put it down nor to take it away.
He looked at Qin Yan resentfully:
"Ayan, I haven't even shoveled it yet."
But the wooden barrel was already full, so Shen Nuo could only put the snow on top.
Fortunately, he didn't shovel too much, otherwise the barrel would not be able to hold any more.
Qin Yan pressed the snow down:
"It's okay, Nuonuo can just go play over there."
He had no intention of letting Shen Nuo do the work from the beginning. How could he let his Nuo Nuo do such rough work?
If Nuonuo has to do everything, then what is the point of having him as her husband?
Shen Nuo snorted and went to dig the snow by himself.
He dug the clean snow together and started to pile something on the ground.
"Nono, what are you doing?"
Shen Nuo didn't even raise his head and continued with what he was doing.
Soon, a small house appeared, but the house had no windows or doors.
After finishing building the small house, Shen Nuo continued to build houses on both sides of the small house.
"In the future, we will build a small yard like this."
Qin Yan watched Shen Nuo building the small house seriously, and he squatted aside to watch.
Shen Nuo's movements were slow. He glanced at Qin Yan:
"Ayan, help me do this, build the wall."
Shen Nuo used a stick to mark the location of the wall.
Qin Yan did as he said and began to build a "wall" around the small house, just like Shen Nuo did.
The two of them played here for nearly a quarter of an hour and finally built a small snow-white yard.
Shen Nuo liked it very much when he saw it, but it was a pity that he couldn’t take pictures.
But it would be nice to keep this little yard this winter.
"Ayan, let's build a small yard like this in the future."
Qin Yan nodded:
"Okay, let's build a small yard like this in the future."
Qin Yan always satisfies Shen Nuo's requests. This is his little husband and his eternal lover.
Shen Nuo also built two small snowmen in the "small yard".
“This way, it feels more like a home.”
Shen Nuo is still looking forward to his future home.
But, maybe not that fast.
Floods are predicted in half a year, so winter will probably be over soon.
But it still snows, especially these few days.
The snow outside was visibly heavier, as if all the winter snow was about to fall.
The men spend much less time going out. Except for chopping wood, basically no one goes out.
That day, Qin Yan and Shen Nuo filtered a lot of snow water.
The villagers also cleaned all the large water vats in the village, and Qin Yan and Shen Nuo were given two.
They filled the two large vats with water so that they didn't have to boil snow water and filter it every day.
With nothing to do, everyone in Yunzhu Village was warming themselves by the fire in the village.
Some people took out some cloth to make clothes and shoes.
Even Qin Yan took up needle and thread and started making shoes every day.
Shen Nuo was very curious; he didn't know how shoes were made.
Just keep watching Qin Yan take action.
Qin Yan sewed the soles and then started making the cloth on the shoes.
The boots he made were deerskin boots, and judging from the size, they were obviously made for Shen Nuo.
Shen Nuo is not tall, only 39 meters, and in modern times he wears size shoes.
Qin Yan's was different. When we first met, he looked to be about 1.9 meters tall. The last time Shen Nuo measured him, he was at least 1.95 meters tall. Those shoes looked like small boats.
Qin Yan could easily pick him up with one arm.
Shen Nuo was always worried that Qin Yan would get tired, but Qin Yan said:
"Nono is too thin, it's like he has no weight, I can't even feel anything when I hug him."
But Shen Nuo has been eating very hard, and he doesn’t want to gain weight, he actually wants to grow taller.
What a pity, I haven’t grown taller in such a long time here. It’s really heartbreaking.
He looked at the shoes in Qin Yan's big hands, as if he was holding a small toy, and soon he had made a pair of soles.
"Ayan, how come you know everything?"
Shen Nuo couldn't help but ask him.
It seems that there is nothing Qin Yan can't do. Whenever he has free time, he likes to braid Shen Nuo's hair, and sometimes even draws eyebrows and lipstick for Shen Nuo.
"Well... you'll learn it if you watch it more. That's how Dad treated Mom in the past."
As he said this, Qin Yan's eyes were full of nostalgia.
