This is the coldest winter that Lin Mozhu has encountered in such a big age, but no matter how cold it is outside, his house is still warm as spring.In the morning, he woke up from the warm quilt, still a little dazed, and sat on the bed hugging the soft quilt for a while before he woke up.

The thick bed curtain in the inner room blocked the light outside, and the light in the room was dim, so every time when Lin Mozhu first woke up, he often couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

Seeing Yang Fan sleeping next to him, he got up and went out at some point, and now he is alone in the inner room.Lin Mozhu reached out to feel under the pillow, took out the pocket watch Yang Fan gave him, and checked the time in the dim light of the room.

08: 30.

Lin Mozhu thought for a while, then moved to the edge of the bed, ready to put on his shoes and get out of bed.There is a hot earth dragon burning in the house, and a charcoal basin is placed, so it doesn't feel cold.Lin Mozhu put on his shoes slowly, and then put on his coat.

The guards in the outer room heard the noise, walked behind the veil, and asked softly, "Madam, are you awake?"

Lin Mozhu responded, the veil was lifted, and two little maids walked in.

The weather was too cold, and the climate in the capital was quite different from Chihu County, so the servants who came from home were not used to it.Two days ago, Chunhua caught a cold and fell ill. Lin Mozhu gave her a holiday. Yang Fan was also worried that her cold would pass to Lin Mozhu, so he asked her to rest for a few more days.Qiuyue was going to be busy with the stove, and there was not enough manpower to serve Lin Mozhu at once. Yang Fan was worried about the new buyer from outside, so he went to Zhuangzi and recruited two little maids to come in.

The two little maids were thirteen or fourteen years old, and they started working after only two days of intensive training by the housekeeper. They were still very unfamiliar with things and timid.However, Lin Mozhu didn't need to be served attentively, the two little maids only needed to hand him hands when he was inconvenient to move.That is, Yang Fan is worried that he has a big belly now, and he is worried that he will be alone, so he needs someone to pay attention to him all the time.

Because at home, Lin Mozhu asked the servant girl to simply tie her hair behind her head, and then she left the inner room.

Outside, Qiuyue reckoned that it was time for him to wake up, so she just came in with his breakfast.It was snowing heavily outside, and the tray was covered with a thick quilt, and the food inside was still steaming after being lifted.

"Ma'am, today I made shepherd's purse wontons."

Where does shepherd's purse come from in the cold winter months?It was Yang Fan who was so generous, because Lin Mozhu was so good at it, some time ago someone had someone sow some seeds in the greenhouse.Even if there is a greenhouse in winter, the vegetables grow slowly, and finally grow finger lengths. This morning, Zhuangzi picked some and sent them to the mansion.

Lin Mozhu's favorite is the wonton stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork. The soup is made of old hen soup that has been simmered overnight, and then sprinkled with a handful of green onion. It looks very appetizing.Lin Mozhu became greedy when he saw it, so he sat down quickly, picked up a spoon, scooped one up, blew it and stuffed it into his mouth.The delicious taste that exploded in his mouth instantly made him narrow his eyes happily.

"Qiuyue, your cooking skills are getting better and better." Lin Mozhu happily ate and praised Qiuyue.

After receiving the praise, Qiuyue was also very happy, and said with a smile: "There are still some shepherd's purse that Zhuangzi sent in the morning. Madam likes it, and I will make some dumplings for you at noon."

"What's the package?" Yang Fan just came in from the outside, listened to him, and asked.

Lin Mozhu waved at him, "Brother Yang, it's shepherd's purse wonton, would you like some?"

Shepherd's purse wontons and shepherd's purse dumplings, their whole family loves this.Yang Fan opened his mouth and was fed one by Lin Mozhu, then nodded: "Delicious."

Lin Mozhu wanted to feed him again, but Yang Fan shook his head and refused: "I've had breakfast, I can't eat it now, you can eat it.

Seeing what he said, Lin Mozhu continued eating by himself.Seeing that Lin Mozhu was eating happily, Yang Fan asked casually, "Who is Zhuangzi delivering the food today?"

Qiuyue replied, "It's Tie Zi."

Both Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu were a little surprised, Yang Fan asked her: "Why is he here?"

"It was Tiezi's father who came to deliver the food today, so he came with him. It snowed halfway, and there was a delay for a while, so Tiezi delivered the food from the house first."

The warm shed on Zhuangzi began to supply vegetables to restaurants and mansions after winter began. As the weather got colder and colder, considering the safety of personnel, Yang Fan asked Zhuangzi to deliver vegetables once every two days.Those who delivered the food were all tenants in the village, and Yang Fan paid a high salary, so everyone rushed to deliver the food.So Zhuangtou arranged a shift to deliver them, two people at a time.

"It's snowing?" Hearing what Qiuyue said, Lin Mozhu put down his spoon, looked at the closed window, and asked Qiuyue, "Is everyone alright? Don't freeze."

"Ma'am, don't worry, he's fine. I'll leave him to warm up in the kitchen." As she spoke, Qiuyue laughed again, "Tie Zi is still there."

I brought a cage of sparrows, and I will have someone clean them up later, and I will make a fried sparrow at noon. "

Hearing this, Yang Fan's eyes lit up, he said yes again and again, then he took out a purse from his cuff and threw it to Qiuyue, saying, "This is my reward for you and Tie Zi."

Qiuyue took it with a smile, and thanked: "Thank you, master."

Seeing him like this, Lin Mozhu didn't know what he was thinking, so he poured cold water on him on the spot, "You are only allowed to drink a small bowl of wine."

Yang Fan had a smile on his face, but he was not unhappy, and there was a lot in one bowl, so he just drank it slowly.After thinking for a while, Yang Fan said to Qiuyue: "You tell Tiezi and his father not to rush back to Zhuangzi later, and wait for the snow to stop before leaving."

"Yes, sir."

Lin Mozhu had breakfast, and the snow outside was a bit heavy. He was worried that he would catch a cold. The window of the room was only opened a small crack. Lin Mozhu stood at the window and glanced out before being dragged away by Yang Fan.A layer of snow had already accumulated in the yard, and the wind was blowing the snowflakes flying randomly. It was very cold at first glance.Although Lin Mozhu was interested in the snow in the yard, he didn't dare to leave the room at this time.

"What do you want to do today? Reading or drawing?"

Since being instilled with the concept of "prenatal education" by Yang Fan, Lin Mozhu has been reading and writing for self-cultivation every day, and some time ago he even learned meticulous painting.Hearing Yang Fan's question, he thought for a while and said, "Let's draw, my husband just taught me a new painting method yesterday.

I want to practice. "

Seeing that he was interested in painting, Yang Fan specially found a husband for him. Lin Mozhu has been studying with him for a month, and he is just getting started.Hearing that he wanted to paint, Yang Fan went to help him take out all the painting tools and put them on the desk in the outer room.

Lin Mozhu stood in front of the desk, concentrating on painting.Yang Fan saw that he was concentrating on painting, so he took a ledger and sat on the Arhat's bed beside him to read it. While reconciling the ledger, he also paid attention to Lin Mozhu's movement from time to time.Using this skill with one heart and two minds, I am already very proficient in using it.

The two people in the room were doing their own thing. Although there was no conversation, the atmosphere was very warm.When Lin Mozhu was painting the wings of a butterfly with paint on his brush, he suddenly stopped, straightened up, and looked at his protruding belly suspiciously.

Yang Fan kept paying attention to him from the corner of his eyes, and after noticing his strangeness, he looked over: "What's wrong?"

Lin Mozhu still had some doubts, stroked his stomach with the hand that was not holding the pen, and said to Yang Fan, "Just now, he seems to have moved."

When Yang Fan heard this, he immediately put down the account book in his hand, and walked over quickly: "Really?" He had studied Liu Ping's notebooks on male and female pregnancy, and knew that fetuses usually start to move at five months, so he did the math. At this time, Lin Mozhu was five months pregnant.

He walked up to Lin Mozhu's side, and placed his hands on Lin Mozhu's stomach carefully.Since Lin Mozhu became pregnant, Yang Fan had stroked Lin Mozhu's belly countless times, but this time, he was extremely nervous and looking forward to it.It's just that the belly is the same as before, the two stood there quietly, feeling the movement under the palms of their hands, but they couldn't feel anything.

After a long time, Lin Mozhu spoke first: "Don't move."

Hearing the regret in his tone, Yang Fan laughed: "He may have fallen asleep. It doesn't matter, the fetal movement will become more severe after a while."

Lin Mozhu nodded softly at him, "En."

Yang Fan glanced at his painting again, and said, "You have been standing for a while, sit down and rest."

Lin Mozhu didn't refuse, put down the pen in his hand, walked obediently to Luohan's bed and sat down.Yang Fan covered his legs with a blanket, then asked the maid in the ear room to wring out a hot towel, and wiped Lin Mozhu's hands himself.

Seeing that they had rested, the maids brought in tea and fruits with winking eyes.Yang Fan glanced at the fruit plate, took an orange and peeled it for Lin Mozhu, and then handed it to Lin Mozhu.Lin Mozhu felt a little helpless for his meticulous care. Although he said it countless times, Yang Fan was still the same, so he gave up.

While eating, the two chatted about some trivial matters in life.

"Is the winter solstice coming soon? I don't know who will host the sacrifice at home this year."

Except for the Spring Festival, Yang Fan didn't pay much attention to these traditional festivals. Hearing Lin Mozhu's question, he said casually: "There is a housekeeper at home, and he will make arrangements."

After thinking for a while, he said to Lin Mozhu again: "Your parents, uncles and aunts will worship here this year." It is a custom in Fuyuan County to worship ancestors on the winter solstice. In the past, Lin Mozhu would do this every year. Special tribute to the deceased family members.

Lin Mozhu nodded, feeling a little emotional in his heart.In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed.Those memories of living in Qingzhu Village have become somewhat blurred.

At noon, the kitchen brought the meal to the house, and there was an extra dish of fried sparrows on the table.Yang Fan enthusiastically ordered another pot of wine to be served, took a sip of the wine, and then had a bite of the crispy fried sparrow. It was really delicious.He ate himself with delight,

I also picked one up for Lin Mozhu: "Try it, Qiuyue's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Lin Mozhu laughed, but his expression changed in the next second, and he subconsciously looked down at his stomach again.

"What's wrong?" Yang Fan quickly put down his chopsticks, "Did he move again?" While asking, he had already reached out to caress Lin Mo Zhu's stomach.
