Space Farming: The Rough Man Orion Dotes on His Wife Excessively

Chapter 296 It’s Snowing

This was the first time for Gu Rao and Bieye to celebrate the New Year together. After Xiaoguai Restaurant was temporarily closed, they had some free time. According to local customs, they usually prepare all the meals the day before New Year's Eve. , and then I ate leftovers for several days.

But for ordinary people, the meals during the Chinese New Year, even the leftovers, are better than usual, and they are very satisfied.

Many people look forward to this day all year long.

After working hard all year, only the New Year seems to be satisfying and relaxing.

Gu Rao asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Bieye's answer was the same as before.

"It's all right."

Gu Rao said, "...Okay, I'll do whatever I want." After being married for so long, she knew Bieye's appetite well.

They eat meat almost every day. Even if they sometimes want to eat something lighter and don't want to eat meat, they only eat it every once in a while, but they are not greedy for meat.

Now that I have a restaurant, I can ask the chef to cook whatever dishes I want, so I am not obsessed with what dishes to eat during the Chinese New Year.

But this is the Chinese New Year after all, and the food is too simple and perfunctory. This is the first New Year she has spent with Bieye, so she should celebrate it properly.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Rao decided to make six dishes and one soup. In the past year, there were too many unsatisfactory things, and he hoped that everything would be smooth in the coming year.

They are sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish, braised pork, spicy and sour potato shreds, tomato scrambled eggs, ground three delicacies and pickled fish.

She controlled the portion of each dish very little, after all, she still didn't really want to eat leftovers.

But even so, eating six courses and a soup for two people is a bit exhausting.

Bieye's appetite was big, but not so big that he could eat as much as he had. In the end, there were some braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs left.

The braised pork is a bit greasy. They had eaten a lot of big fish and meat during this period, so they didn't touch this dish much. The sweet and sour pork ribs were a dish that Gu Rao liked to eat, but Bieye didn't like it very much, but he could still eat a little bit. , so there is quite a lot left.

The night of New Year's Eve.

Gu Rao originally planned to cook a few more dishes, but Bieye persuaded him, "The leftovers are enough. Aren't there still uneaten stewed vegetables brought from the restaurant?"

"Eat whatever you want tonight."

Gu Rao was also a bit lazy.

"Ok."

"If you're not full, there are also pastries and fruits."

Beyeye nodded.

"Ah."

After dinner, the family lit up the lanterns. Bieye moved a ladder, came to the gate, climbed up the ladder and lit the two red lanterns at the door.

Gu Rao and Bieye gave their servants a holiday two days in advance.

The servant was bought from Yaxing, and he was a domestic servant. He had no other family members, so he lived in the courtyard even during the holidays.

However, Gu Rao and Bieye did not let them work after the holiday. They did these small things themselves.

The servants went out to watch the excitement after dinner. During the Chinese New Year, the streets were still lively even at night.

Gu Rao stood below holding the ladder.

After coming down from the field, he moved the ladder to the utility room and put it away, and then took out the couplets and blessing characters he bought at the stall a few days ago.

He is tall and can stick the couplets on both sides of the door at a suitable height without standing on a ladder. He can just stand upright.

Gu Rao stood behind him and directed him to paste the couplets on the left and right sides neatly.

"A little lower..."

"wrong!"

"Move it down too much, move it up a little more."

……

Bieye worked hard and moved it several times to meet Gu Rao's standards. He pasted the couplets covered with paste, then turned the two characters "Fu" upside down and pasted them in the middle of both sides of the door.

-

The night was very good tonight. Gu Rao and Bieye moved two deck chairs, and they lay in the yard, looking up at the stars tonight.

Gu Rao's memory flew to his previous life.

Before anything happened at home, the family of three was very loving. As the chairman of a large group, his father, even if he was busy, would spare a whole day on New Year's Eve to accompany her and her mother on the New Year's Eve vigil. , at that time she was like a carefree little princess.

Everything was broken at the age of sixteen.

My father's company went bankrupt.

My mother, who used to be as loving as my father, actually had a lover outside and gave birth to two children to her lover. When my father's company went bankrupt and the family was most short of money, she ruthlessly took away all the family's property. , and stole his father's chance to make a comeback.

She couldn't accept this blow, and her father, who loved his wife so much, couldn't accept this fact even more. The blow was so great that she didn't recognize him.

The good things in the past are like bubbles, disappearing at the touch of a finger.

She never spent the night with anyone again.

In the more than ten years that I spent alone, there were times when I was lonely, and there were times when I wanted to find someone to spend the rest of my life with, but those thoughts were very short-lived every time. After what happened, she didn't trust anyone but herself.

Turning to look at Bieye.

If she had not come to this world by mistake, she might have been a loner in that world her entire life.

"Mr. sir, let's keep vigil together tonight."

Bieye turned to look at her.

"Ah."

The corners of Gu Rao's mouth curled up, and her heart was filled with an emotion called satisfaction and happiness.

She had found the one person she would watch with for the rest of her life.

-

On New Year's Day, someone set off firecrackers on the street. Gu Rao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. He rubbed his eyes and opened them, only to find that he was lying on the bed.

Consciousness gradually returned.

She stayed up until early in the morning. When it was almost dawn, she couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep on the chair at home. You didn't need to think about it to know that Bieye carried her to the bed.

Just as he was about to take off the quilt, he was so cold that he hugged the quilt tightly.

"Squeak..."

The door opened, bringing in another gust of cold wind. Fortunately, the door was quickly closed again.

Bieye came to the bedside with a brazier.

Gu Rao said, "I heard the sound of wind just now. Why is it so cold today? It wasn't so cold yesterday..."

Bieye smiled and said, "It's snowing, do you want to go out and take a look?"

Gu Rao's eyes lit up.

He quickly got out of bed, regardless of the cold, walked to the closet to look for clothes, and found something warm to wear for himself.

There is a brazier in the room and it warms up quickly.

Gu Rao looked at Bieye and found that he was still wearing thin clothes. He went back to the closet and found a set of thicker clothes and threw them to him.

"Change into it, don't catch a cold."

Bieye said, "I'm going to chop firewood later and get some charcoal myself. I'm wearing too many clothes and it's inconvenient to work. I'm strong and not afraid of the cold."

Gu Rao was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't I stock up on a lot of charcoal a while ago?"

"It's enough for us to burn the whole winter. Even if the charcoal outside runs out, I still have a lot stored in the space and can be distributed evenly."

Bieye explained, "A bundle of firewood is about twenty kilograms. The person who sells us firewood is an honest man. Every time he delivers firewood, each bundle is one or two kilograms more than other people's firewood."

"A bundle of firewood costs six cents, but a pound of charcoal costs three cents."

"I have calculated that five kilograms of firewood can produce one kilogram of charcoal, and one bundle of firewood can produce four kilograms of charcoal. Four kilograms of charcoal costs twelve cents."

“So we can make double the money by burning the firewood into charcoal.”
