The next morning, Su Xiaoxue and the children got up early.

But Qin Chi got up earlier.

Aunt May gave her a day off today, so she is not at home now.

"Are you up?" Qin Chi asked with a smile when he saw Su Xiaoxue coming down with the child.

"Well, get up."

She stretched her head to look into the kitchen and asked, "What delicious food have you made?"

"I went to the market this morning and bought some pork offal. I'll make some pork offal porridge for you."

"Hmm, it smells very good!" Su Xiaoxue exclaimed.

Qin Chi laughed, "Mm, it smells good. When we take it out of the pot later, just add some chopped green onions and celery."

"Ah."

"Okay, you go out first, and I'll take it out for you after it's cooked."

"Uh-huh."

Su Xiaoxue first put on the children's coats, then sat quietly at the dining table, waiting for breakfast.

……

After breakfast, the family set off.

Because it's cold today, Su Xiaoxue and the others are wearing thicker clothes.

This time when she went back, Su Xiaoxue also brought a lot of warm things for her parents.

For her, now that she has money on hand, she needs to prepare all kinds of warm things.

When we arrived at the village, there weren't many people there. Maybe it was because the weather was cold and the busy farming season was over, so most people were probably staying indoors to keep warm.

Su Xiaoxue headed towards home, calling her parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm back."

Today is New Year's Day and Xiaoni is also at home.

She ran out first, saw her sister and her family, and said excitedly: "Sister, you are finally back!"

Su Xiaoxue laughed, "Well, I'm back. How are your studies going recently?"

"It's pretty good. The teacher even said I've made progress."

Su's mother followed out and saw Su Xiaoxue's family. She quickly shouted, "Hurry up and let your sister and the others in. It's cold outside."

Xiao Ni finally reacted and said with a smile, "Yes, sister, brother-in-law, you guys go in quickly, it's cold outside."

Children like to come to their grandparents' house. The sounds come in before they even enter the door.

Mother Su touched the little ones' heads happily and said, "Okay, come in quickly, don't get cold."

A broken iron pot was being used to roast a fire in the house.

Su Xiaoxue said: "It's been cold these two days, are your quilts warm?"

Mother Su nodded quickly, "It's warm, don't worry."

Last year, Su Xiaoxue had bought a lot of things for her parents, and had also made arrangements for bedding, so what she said was true.

But seeing my parents warming themselves by the fire, I know the weather has been cold these days.

Su's mother felt sorry for her. "The weather is so cold, don't come back. Wait until it's warmer. Be careful that the child will catch a cold."

"It's okay. They are wearing thick clothes."

As Su Xiaoxue was talking, several little kids were taking off their coats.

The coats they wore were all goose down coats that Qin's parents had asked someone to get for them. The coats were double-layered with goose down mixed in, and were very warm.

Xiaoguai also explained: "Grandma, we are not cold."

The little guy was not cold, but his cheeks were still red from the cold wind.

Su's mother touched her little face and said, "It's not cold yet. Look at your little face, it's red from the cold."

She made the children comfortable by the fire.

Qin Chi put the things down, and Su Xiaoxue introduced the things she bought to her mother and sister.

Father Su made some tea for Qin Chi, and the two sat beside him and chatted.

Qin Chi looked at the house and reminded Father Su, "If you are roasting a fire, you must open the windows for ventilation. The fire will emit carbon dioxide, and too much will cause poisoning."

Father Su smiled and nodded, "It's ventilated, it's ventilated, I dare not not open the doors and windows."

Everyone in the village knows that ventilation is necessary when making a fire.

The older generation said that it was very cold back then, and many families stayed indoors by the fire, but because the doors and windows were all closed, some people died in the houses.

After that, although no one knew the principle, no matter how they made a fire, they would open windows and doors for ventilation, or make a fire at the entrance of an alley sheltered from the wind, and they would never dare to close the door.

Qin Chi nodded.

Neither of the two men were talkative people, so there was little to talk about, so they just asked a few simple questions about work and family matters.

It was Su Xiaoxue who arranged the things she brought with her and came to the two men before asking, "How is the construction of the house going? Is it almost done?"

Father Su nodded, "Well, it's almost done. The only things left are the doors, windows, beds, etc. I'll have someone fix them."

It has been several months since we started building the house. The overall work has been completed, but the doors and windows have not been installed yet, so we cannot live in it yet.

Su's mother came over and also said, "Your father said that he would prepare the bed for you and your family to come back and there would be a place for them to move in. You will be able to move in by the end of the year."

"Well, that's good. I can also help with the furniture."

Father Su waved his hand and said, "That's okay. I've already asked your uncle to help. I'll find a good tree for him and he'll help with the work. There's no need to transport it."

Su Xiaoxue knew that Su's father would not do anything rash in this matter, so she nodded and said nothing else.

The family sat together, Su's mother brought food to the children, and the adults chatted on the side.

Su's mother asked Su Xiaoxue about her recent situation and the business in the store.

"Everything is fine, don't worry!" Su Xiaoxue said, "Those pairs of shoes are the ones I sold recently. It's cold outside, so you can wear them when you go out. It's more convenient."

When Su Xiaoxue came back this time, she brought shoes for her parents and Xiaoni.

When the shoes arrived, she arranged for them to be given to her family members, including Xiaofang and Chen Wei.

But Xiaofang couldn't bear to spend the money, so she sold it for one piece.

Mother Su pretended to be disgusted and said, "You, you make so many things for us every day, and we can't use them all."

"If you can't use it all, just use it slowly. There's no rush."

When it got warmer, Su Xiaoxue and her husband went to see the new house with Su's father and mother, while Xiaoni stayed at home to look after the three little ones.

Because it's right next to it, just two steps away.

The house is one and a half stories high. The second floor is not covered with tiles, but with cement and some beams. There is a staircase leading up to it, and there is a large terrace.

Su's mother said as she walked, "Originally, one floor would have been enough, since we don't have many people. But your father said that when you sisters get married and bring your husbands and children back, you'll have a place to stay, so we built this back half, which has two rooms and a large flat roof, so we can use it to dry things in the future."

Of course, these things were not just thought of by Su's father alone, but were suggested by the builder when they were building the house.

At first, the couple thought it was unnecessary and would waste a lot of money.

Later, he heard from the house builder that a hundred more would be enough. After thinking about it, Su's father decided to use the money Erni had left at home for them to do work.
