Qinghe Pastoral

The end of the new year is approaching, and at this time, Qinghe Village ushered in the first snow of the year.In the whole village, the front and back of the houses are covered with snow, and the children are very happy, and the sound of playing can be heard far away.

Lin Mu also likes snowy days. Seeing the snow in the yard, the child's temper was raised and his heart was itchy. He didn't care about Xu Xiuqin telling him to go back to the house, so he just built a snowman and came out.His cheeks were flushed from the cold, and the hand that touched the snow was also icy. He was so excited that he didn't feel the cold at all.

"Why are you outside, you're not afraid of catching a cold."

Seeing that Lin Mu was having fun, Ji Ruixiu didn't want to disturb him, but in the cold winter months, he was afraid of catching a cold. If it was Lin Mu himself who suffered from the cold, he dragged him into the house together.

"It's okay, I'm not allowed to freeze."

Lin Mu was obviously still in high spirits, but he also knew that Ji Ruixiu was worried about him, so he happily followed Ji Ruixiu into the house.

In the room, Xu Xiuqin is making a small bellyband. It will be more than a month at most, and the baby in her stomach will be born. These things need to be prepared in advance.

"Look at you, your face is blushing from the cold, the new year is coming soon, and you're going to have a family in another year, and you're still so childish."

Seeing the doting in Xu Xiuqin's eyes, Lin Mu hurried to her side, leaned his head on Xu Xiuqin's belly, and said, "Mom, I heard that the baby in my stomach said he also wants to play in the snow."

Seeing Lin Mu acting coquettishly, Xu Xiuqin put down the needle and thread in her hand, stroked his head, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

"Little baby, grow up quickly, when you can run, my brother will take you to make a snowman, and Uncle Ruixiu will hold you high."

Lin Mu didn't realize it, but Ji Ruixiu had black lines on his face. He thought he was old, and he was still an uncle?

"This child, his seniority has been messed up. It's snowing heavily, so it's not easy to walk this way?"

"The accumulation is quite deep, and there are no people along the way."

The harvest in Qinghe Village is good this year. In this cold weather, everyone must be at home, and few people will come out for a walk.

"This snowy day, are you still going as planned?"

The seventh day of January is Xiao Jue's father's [-]th birthday. Ji Ruixiu is going to take Lin Mu with him this time. Huazhou is a long way away, and it's the first time for Lin Mu to travel far, so he wants to set off earlier.

"I'm afraid that it will be more difficult to melt the snow, so let's start as planned and walk slowly."

For this trip to Huazhou, Lin Muzi was looking forward to it. He grew up in Qinghe Village, and the farthest place he has been to is Jing'an County. He has never been to Yong'an Continent, and he went with Ji Ruixiu. How could he Not excited?

"I don't know if there is snow in other places. It's a long way, which is really worrying."

Xu Xiuqin was originally a delicate person, and when Ji Ruixiu said that Huazhou would take seven or eight days, and it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, she was naturally worried.

"Mother, there is Xiu here, don't worry, I will gain three catties when I come back, don't bother, or our little baby will be unhappy."

Lin Mu is still very good at appeasing Xu Xiuqin.

"Little clever ghost can make mother happy. Along the way, if you want to listen to Ruixiu, don't let your own temper. Ruixiu, don't get too used to him."

"Don't worry, we will return safely."

Xu Xiuqin is at ease with Ji Ruixiu, and her mother is worried. Since Lin Mu came to this house, she has never been separated from her, and she cannot help but feel reluctant.Lin Mu was laughing and laughing on the surface, but he was clear in his heart. In this world, the two people in front of him loved him the most. How could he not understand Xu Xiuqin's worries?

"You all be careful, mother, just wait for my Mu'er to come back fatter."

Lin Mu naturally agreed, with Ji Ruixiu around, how could he be so thin? He heard from Ji Ruixiu that Huazhou cuisine is also famous, so he couldn't wait.

In the morning two days later, Qinghe Village was still covered in white snow, but at this time, Ji's carriage slowly drove away from Qinghe Village.

Because Lin Mu was too excited, he slept very late last night, and now he is lying on Ji Ruixiu's lap, drowsy.Because of the snow, the carriage moved extremely slowly. It was freezing outside, but it was warm inside the carriage.

"Go to sleep, let's rest at Yong'an Island tonight, and I will call you when we arrive."

It only took half an hour for them to set off, and it took half a day to get to Yong'an Island. It was difficult to travel in the snow, so it was estimated that it would be later.Lin Mu couldn't help it, and gradually fell asleep.

Lin Mu woke up again, feeling refreshed. He didn't know how long he had slept, but his neck felt a little sore. Remembering that he was pressing on Ji Ruixiu's leg, he hurriedly got up, and Ji Ruixiu opened his eyes as well.

"Where are we now? My neck is sore. Is your leg numb?"

"We will arrive at Yong'an Continent in another hour, come, let me rub it for you."

Lin Mu moved to Ji Ruixiu's side, and Ji Ruixiu rubbed his shoulders just right, Lin Mu sighed comfortably.After rubbing for a while, Lin Mu felt better, and Ji Ruixiu stopped.

"Are you hungry or not, eat some snacks first."

Ji Ruixiu opened the food box, which contained several exquisite snacks. Ji Ruixiu asked Lin Mu to pick and eat by himself, and asked Zhou Dashan, who was driving the car, to stop and eat some.

Lin Mu took a few of his favorite foods, and picked out a few not too sweet ones for Ji Ruixiu. Both of them were a little hungry. After eating some snacks, they didn't feel so hungry anymore.After sitting in the carriage for a long time, I wanted to go out to get some fresh air.

The two got out of the carriage, and now they were in a dense forest, and they saw a vast expanse of whiteness.This year, the first snow fell for two days in a row, but today it is gradually getting smaller.Because they had to hurry, they didn't stay for too long, they sat back in the car after a while, and Zhou Dashan drove the car to continue.

Ji Ruixiu hugged Lin Mu habitually. Lin Mu opened the curtain and looked at the snowy scenery along the way. It was probably because Ji Ruixiu's embrace was too warm. Even if he opened the curtain, he didn't feel the coldness at all.

When the carriage approached the gate of Yong'an Island, there were gradually more pedestrians.Yong'an Island is the main traffic route of the Dayu Dynasty, where riches and nobles gather, and the trade is extremely developed.Entering the city gate, there are many shops and pedestrians, all of which show the prosperity of this state.

Ji Ruixiu is no stranger to Yong'an Island, he asked Zhou Dashan to drive the car directly to a top-notch inn, obviously it was not the first time to stay in it, and the little girl came forward to entertain Ji Ruixiu when he saw him.

"Master Ji, you are here, it's freezing cold, drink a cup of tea to warm yourself first."

The shop waiter was very good at business, so he hurriedly led the two of them to the private room and served a pot of hot tea.

"Is there anyone living in the Tianzi room?"

Ji Ruixiu is a frequent visitor to this store, and whenever no one lives there, he always lives there.

"It's empty, do you still live in this room?"

"Yes, let's go to the upper room, put two more braziers in the room, let's have a hot pot first."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

Ji Ruixiu has always been generous in his actions, Xiaoer took the reward and went down to prepare with a smile on his face.This week, Dashan followed Ji Ruixiu to run the business in the early years, and he knew some martial arts. He looked honest, but he was actually very shrewd.After following Ji Ruixiu for a long time, he is not so restrained when getting along.

Soon, the hot pot was on the table. This restaurant is very famous in Yong'an Island, especially the mandarin duck hot pot in cold weather. Everyone who has eaten it praised it.The red pot is warming, the white pot is delicious, and the taste is very good. In this kind of weather, it couldn't be more suitable.

After eating this meal, I felt warm all over my body. When Ji Ruixiu took Lin Mu back to the room, the brazier was left on for a while, and the whole room was warm.

"Take a break first, and I'll take you out for a stroll later."

It was cold, and Ji Ruixiu originally meant that the two of them could rest in the room, but Lin Mu wanted to go out for a stroll. He had heard Lin Zi'an talk about the prosperity of Yong'an Island earlier, so he wanted to see it.Knowing Lin Mu's temperament, Ji Ruixiu thought it would be enough to add an extra dress, so he agreed.

"Are you tired? If not, let's go. I'm curious."

Seeing Lin Mu's eagerness, Ji Ruixiu also wanted to go early and return early. He had to rest well tonight, and they would not have such good conditions tomorrow night.

The two walked out of the inn together. From the moment they entered the door, the shopkeeper and the waiter found that Ji Ruixiu was very caring and thoughtful towards Lin Mu. Ji Ruixiu was always indifferent to outsiders, but he was special to this young man. It seemed that the two of them looked like lovers. Good match.

Due to the continuous snowfall for several days, Yong'an Island was not as lively as before, but Lin Mu was still dazzled by the numerous shops and the dazzling array of goods, especially those he had never seen before, so he took a closer look.

Just walking around like this, the time passed quickly. When Lin Mu felt tired, the two walked back along the road.

At night, the inn was considered clean, and Lin Mu nestled in Ji Ruixiu's arms, but he wasn't used to it because he changed places.Ji Ruixiu kissed Lin Mu's forehead again and again. Lin Mu had long been accustomed to it. Today, after a long journey, he gradually fell asleep under Ji Ruixiu's kiss, and had a good night's sleep.
