Kidney beans, red beans, yellow rice, peanuts, walnut kernels, pine nuts, sesame seeds, red dates, pumpkin seeds, white fungus, chestnuts— you name it.

It was then necessary to select the bad ones and take them out before putting the edible ones to wash. She would let it soak overnight and get up before dawn the next day to stew it. It took at least two hours to simmer on a low fire to make sure the congee has a soft and sticky texture that was full of aroma.

Many women found it annoying to carry out that many steps for a meal, so they would just get some mung beans and peanuts to fool their families.

Lin Lan couldn’t do that.

Her attitude towards life had always been serious and not perfunctory. In her previous life, she lived alone and never compromised. Now that there were 7 people in her family, she should be more careful.

So although there was a shortage of supplies now, she still tried to make their lives better..

After all, the festival was not only a time for children to enjoy delicious food, but it was also a ceremony. Expressing the meaning and the sensation of the festival was the reason why it was held in the first place.

This was also Lin Lan’s own understanding of the meaning of family. After all, she didn’t get much care from her family in her previous life, so she could only make things up and adapt as she went in this life.

Even though she thought about getting up early the next day, when she woke up, she found that Han Qingsong was gone. Instead, the quilt was wrapped around her tightly, but the bed was warm.

She propped herself up, listening to the soft sound of bellows coming from the main room.

Han Qingsong had already gotten up early to help her cook the congee.

Lin Lan got up quickly. As Han Qingsong heard her voice, he said, “It’s still early, you can sleep a little longer.”

Lin Lan said with a smile, “Every day, I’m either eating or sleeping, but once I get up, I’m unable to fall back asleep.”

The main reason for her early awakening was the fact that he didn’t bother her last night, which resulted in her going to bed earlier and waking up earlier as well.

She wrapped herself in a cotton-based coat and put on the shoes Xiuyun’s mother had made for her before finding out that it was quite warm.

Han Qingsong has already poured hot water for her to wash her hands and face. After drying, she applied some cream to prevent her skin from drying up and flaking.

“Wow, it’s snowing!” Lin Lan looked up and saw snowflakes floating in the yard. Although it had just fallen, the snowflakes were quite large.

One look was all it took to know that this snowstorm was going to be brutal.

Although it became cold early this year, it started to snow in October. There were also two smaller snowstorms after that before there wasn’t a single sign of snow henceforth.

Han Yongfang, the Brigade Leader and the others worried a while ago. The auspicious snow heralded a good year. If there was no sign of snow, the pests in the ground would not freeze to death and the wheat would not have enough snow to moisten the crops. In the end, the harvest would largely diminish and there would be a ton of pests remaining.

Dawang and Erwang in the east room were woken up by the biological clocks. When it was time for them to do their morning exercises, they were relieved to hear Lin Lan exclaim that it was snowing.
