“Why? Is the roof going bad?” Gu Chengrui turned his head and asked.


“Yup, the beam is old, and it’s hard to say how long it will last.” Tian Jiaw.a.n.g looked up at the gloomy sky and continued, “The weather is getting gloomy lately, and it will be troublesome if it snows heavily.”


“All right,” Gu Chengrui said, nodding. “1’11 go over after eating.”


After that, both of them returned home.


After lunch, Gu Chengrui changed into the sackcloth clothes he had worn before and went to the Tian family’s house. Soon, Qiu Niang came in with Dong Dong in her arms.


Zhou Ying immediately greeted them with a smile and put down the book she was reading, saying, “Ah, you’ve brought Dong Dong out too. Hurry up, put him on the bed, and don’t let him catch a cold again.”


“Sorry for disturbing you, mistress.” Qiu Niang greeted Zhou Ying as she examined the books inside a cabinet.


“What are you talking about? Come, stay here, and chat with me.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she emptied a small s.p.a.ce at the head of her bed and let her put Dong Dong down.


She then went to the small red clay tea stove on the tea table not far from the bed, picked up an iron kettle, and poured Qiu Niang a cup of boiled water. “Since you can’t drink tea now, you should drink some boiled water to warm your hands.”


“Ah, having such a small stove next to the bed is quite convenient. It’s a pity that they don’t sell these anymore.” Qiu Niang commented with longing.


If they had such a little thing, they wouldn’t have to wake up every night to boil water in the kitchen.


“You can make this with a little modification to a broken ceramic pot. It’s just that it’s a little charcoal hungry.” After saying that, Zhou Ying also poured herself a cup of water.


After putting down the kettle, she moved to the other side of the table and let Qiu Niang sit where she was so that she could take care of her child up close. “How do we modify it?” Qiuniang asked curiously as she held the teacup with both hands.


When Zhou Ying saw this, she got up and took a piece of toilet paper and a quill pen. Then, she drew a rough drawing and said, “See? Make a hole at the bottom of the pot, or two or three small holes will do.


“Then, find an iron sheet, cut a piece according to the size of the pot, and then cover it up.”


She paused for a moment. “Just like the water tank where you grow bean sprouts. You cover the bottom and have to find a few stones to prop it up.” “Now that you mention it, it’s similar to a brazier?”


“Yes, it’s just that. It’s actually quite simple.”


“I understand. I’ll get one made too.” Qiu Niang nodded.


After that, the two began to chat. When Zhou Ying found out that Qiu Niang gets hungry quickly because of breastfeeding, especially when she wakes up from hunger, she taught her how to make french fries and roast white potatoes.


Although it didn’t taste as good as roasting red sweet potatoes, it could fill one’s stomach immediately.


At the same time, she gave Qiu Niang a few pieces of dried wolf jerky as snacks.


After dinner, the couple waited for a while and confirmed that no one had come to visit. Gu Chengrui put on his coat, put out the fire, and locked the door. When he came back, he was covered in snowflakes. Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment before she stood up and asked, “It’s snowing again?”


“Yeah, and it’s snowing quite heavily. It seems that we’ll have to worry about the snow during the night. We’ll have to sweep the snow off the house in time if it’s too heavy.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he shook the snow off his coat and placed it at the end of the bed.


“Why don’t you call Er Zhuang in? Don’t let him catch a cold.”


“That’s true.” Gu Chengrui shouted out to Er Zhuang, who was hiding in the kitchen. He immediately rushed over, and they entered the inters.p.a.ce together.


As soon as Er Zhuang entered, he immediately turned around and ran to the gra.s.sland, chasing away the sheep that were leisurely eating gra.s.s.


Suddenly, there were sounds of bleating all over. Zhou Ying laughed, saying, “It’s said that dogs are nosy. Looks like Er Zhuang’s been bored..”
