Chapter 436 First Snow
The workshop was shut down due to Li Shoucai's sudden heart attack. It was almost the end of the year and every household was preparing for the New Year, but because of this incident, they had to cut back on their preparations.
I thought I could have a prosperous new year, but now it's all gone to waste.
Until the New Year's Eve, the atmosphere in the village was very depressing. However, this depression did not affect the people living in Qingyue Villa at all.
One day, Shangguan Qingyue, who was bored at home, heard the servant report that the second young master was coming.
She immediately put Wuyun and Chiyu, who were sleeping soundly on her shoulders, on General Hei's back and went to the front yard to meet people.
However, when she saw Shangguan Lan, who was tanned and had lost a lot of weight, she almost didn't recognize him.
"Brother, have you been working in the fields for two months? How did you get yourself into this state? Did someone bully you?"
As she said this, she looked at Xuanyuan Yan, her eyes seemed to be saying, "Who on earth is so blind as to run wild in your territory?"
Seeing his young fiancée being so protective, Xuanyuan Yan shook his head in amusement.
"No one dares to bully the future brother-in-law of Prince Yong'an, even if they have a hundred guts!"
Shangguan Lan scratched his head embarrassedly and explained with a smile,
"No one bullies me. No one bullies me. I just didn't expect Fengshi County to be so poor. I have been busy going around these past two months, trying to find ways to make life better for the villagers."
As he spoke, he looked around and was almost looking for someone under the table.
"Um, where's Linglong? Why doesn't she come over?"
Seeing his second brother who seemed to have aged several years, Shangguan Qingyue felt distressed and sad.
"Linglong has been obsessed with carpentry work recently, and should still be at Grandpa Liu's house at the foot of the mountain.
While she's not back yet, second brother, go back to your room and tidy yourself up and change into some fresher clothes. If you go to see someone like this, be careful that your future second sister-in-law will despise you and regret marrying you."
Shangguan Lan subconsciously rubbed his chin a few times. After feeling a patch of hard stubble, he finally realized that he had become too sloppy recently.
When he thought of the surprise and disappointment on the face of the girl he had been thinking about when she saw him, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
So he immediately jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly to the door:
"Yuanbao, help me wash up!"
……
When the refreshed Second Master Shangguan finally walked out of his room, two hours had passed and it was already dark.
He hurried through the moon gate and headed for the hall where everyone usually stayed. Before he arrived, he could smell an alluring aroma from afar.
He quickened his pace in excitement, and as soon as he entered the yard he shouted:
"What delicious food are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?!"
Wan Linglong had been looking forward to it for a long time. She had been waiting for Shangguan Lan to show up since she knew he had returned, but she was too embarrassed to ask others what he had been doing.
But when she finally saw the person coming, her eyes couldn't help but become sore. She knew that taking over Fengshi County would be a tough job, but she never thought it would be so tough.
He blinked hard, picked out a few of the most delicious skewers from the pile, and trotted over to the other person.
"Brother Qingyang, this is the food that Ayue has just developed. It tastes really good! I'll give it to you. Eat it while it's hot."
Qingyang is Shangguan Lan's pen name, and he felt very happy when his fiancée called him that.
He took the skewer with joy, and imitated the others by using his teeth to pull off two pieces of meat. The spicy and fragrant taste stimulated his taste buds, and he ate with great joy.
Some people shouted incoherently:
"Good, delicious! Our Qingyue is a genius in this area!"
Shangguan Qingyue, wearing a furry cat-ear hat, kept flipping the skewers in her hands and interrupted with a smile:
"Brother, you'd better stay away from this oven, otherwise your whole body will be covered with the smell of smoke and meat, and your new clothes will be in vain.
Linglong, although my second brother has become darker and thinner, he is still very handsome, right? He has been tossing and turning in his room for half a day just to see you! "
The two blushed at her teasing. One went back to help skewer the meat, while the other sat in a corner, but the smile never dropped.
Someone forced a grey hat with wolf ears on Xuanyuan Yan's head. He looked at the little girl beside him chatting happily with her family with a look of doting yet helpless.
In the end, he simply took over the barbecue work, and several of his men helped him. Xiao Shitou and Daniu were in charge of serving the dishes, and they were very busy and happy, with constant laughter.
Zhao's legs have almost recovered now. She is wrapped tightly by the children and sits next to the charcoal basin. In her hands are the tender and easy-to-cook grilled fish and vegetables that Shangguan Qingyue specially made for her.
Their family is probably the only one in Shancang County that can eat fresh vegetables in the winter. This granddaughter of hers is really the lucky star of the family!
Nan Rongyuanzhi was halfway through his meal when he finally remembered that something was missing. He put down the half-eaten skewer of meat and shouted to Xiao Shitou:
"Shitou, go get me a jar of pear blossom wine. How can we have such delicious meat without wine?
No, one jar is not enough, bring a few more so that everyone can drink!"
Shangguan Qingyue looked at this old naughty boy with displeasure.
"The little stone is not even as heavy as the wine jar, how can he move it? Grandpa Nanrong, please don't always bully him. The child is still growing, and he won't grow tall if he is too tired!"
The little stone, who originally wanted to puff out his chest and say that he could move it, immediately became obedient. He is a man and must grow tall and strong!
The clever servants had already run to the cellar to move the wine. The moment the cork was opened, the whole yard was filled with the elegant fragrance of pear blossoms, giving people the illusion that spring was approaching.
As we were toasting each other, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky. The first snow of winter came without any warning.
Everyone laughed and helped to carry the plates, tables, chairs and other items back to the house. They also moved the oven to the pavilion and asked the servants to cook the remaining ingredients.
The indoor heating was burning brightly. Everyone changed into light and comfortable clothes and found a comfortable place to enjoy the falling snow outside through the glass windows.
Although it was a little late at this time, it was still very bright outside because of the contrast of the white snow.
Shangguan Qingyue held her chin with one hand and looked at the snowflakes falling outside, feeling deeply moved.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in the yard. Because the glass was a little blurry, it was impossible to see clearly who they were.
But she suddenly had a strong premonition, so she stood up suddenly and rushed out the door.
Xuanyuan Yan quickly stopped the man.
"It's so cold outside, do you want to catch a cold by rushing out like this? No matter who you are, just wait patiently, you can't run away."
Although he said so, he still took the cloak and put it on the little girl, and let her walk to the door and shout excitedly:
"Father, mother, elder brother, elder sister and elder brother Fu, why did you come here suddenly?!"
