It was Saturday morning, the eighth day of the tenth lunar month.
Ye Chen was still curled up in bed when he was woken up.
"Daddy, wake up. Open the door!
Daddy, it's snowing! It's snowing! "
His daughter, Mengmeng, was knocking on the door. Her voice was filled with excitement. The bedroom door that had just been replaced could not withstand her strength.
"Is it snowing?"
Ye Chen got up and walked to the window to take a look.
As expected, snowflakes that were like goose feathers fluttered down. The window lattice was covered in a thick layer of snow, and the willow trees outside the window were covered in a layer of silver, like cedars.
Yes, it was snowing!
It meant that winter was here!
Ye Chen could not help but smile warmly.
It was the first time it had snowed in Lin City since he returned to Earth!
It was also the first winter he had spent with his daughter!
Mengmeng was still knocking on the door outside, and he could hear her complaining to Su Yuhan, "Mommy, I can't wake daddy up. He's even lazier than me."
"Kick the door open if you can't wake him up."
Su Yuhan's voice came faintly.
Ye Chen walked over and opened the door immediately.
The little girl was wearing a yellow down jacket, and her face was red from the cold. Even so, she was still in high spirits, and excitement was written all over her face.
Qianqian, who was wearing a sky-blue down jacket, followed behind her.
Compared to Mengmeng, Qianqian rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of thin and slender hands.
When the little girl saw him, she smacked her lips and said, "Daddy, why did you only open the door now? I've been calling you for a long time! "
Ye Chen squatted down and pinched her red cheeks, "Daddy was thinking about where to bring my good daughter to play today."
"Daddy, are we going out to play today?"
The little girl's expression immediately brightened up, and she said with a beaming face, "Daddy, I want to build a snowman and have a snowball fight …"
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, alright, alright. I'll do whatever you want. But aren't you going to kiss me?"
After saying that, he moved his face closer.
"Daddy hasn't washed his face and hasn't shaved in a long time."
The little girl was a little annoyed, but for the sake of her father building a snowman with her, she still leaned over and kissed Ye Chen's face.
"Let's go out first. When mom makes breakfast, let's go make a snowman, okay?"
Ye Chen walked out with the two little girls.
His parents, Ye Hai and Wu Lan, were sitting at the door looking at the snow outside. After taking Ye Chen's medicinal pills, the two of them did not have rheumatism.
Ye Hai stared fixedly outside. "Auspicious snow indicates a bountiful year!"
Ye Chen smiled and walked into the kitchen.
Su Yuhan was wearing an apron while she kept putting noodles into the pot. The hot steam made her face red.
Ye Chen hugged her from behind.
Su Yuhan turned her head and slapped his hand with her chopsticks. However, Ye Chen moved his mouth closer. She said in disdain, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth. You're already so old, yet you're acting like a kid."
Ye Chen refused to let go. "Have you thought about how you're going to celebrate her birthday today?"
"Of course!"
Su Yuhan rolled her eyes at him and peeked at the two little girls outside. She said, "This is what I plan to do. I'll celebrate my daughter's birthday tonight. I've already ordered a cake. You guys can do whatever you want during the day, and we'll go watch a movie as a family at night."
"What movie?" Ye Chen was interested.
To be honest, he had never been to a movie theater since he returned to Earth. Even Su Yuhan was no exception. It had something to do with his experience and age. After all, they were no longer a couple.
Su Yuhan revealed a charming smile. "It's snowing today, isn't it? So, let's go watch Wandering Planet. I heard from my friend that it's pretty good. "
"Whatever you say!"
Ye Chen pecked her on the lips when she was not paying attention and ran into the bathroom as if he was escaping. In reality, after stepping into the cultivation world, not only could one abstain from eating, but one's body would also be spotless.
However, since he was at home, he might as well do as the Romans do.
After washing up, he heard his parents talking and laughing. He could not help but ask curiously, "Dad, Mom, what are you guys talking about?"
Wu Lan was overjoyed. "Your dad said that it's Lidong the day after tomorrow. He was wondering if he should eat dog meat. Then, Mengmeng immediately said that she should eat Cutie."
Lidong marked the true arrival of winter!
On this day, there were differences in the diets of the north and the south. Most people in the north ate dumplings around the kang. As for the south, most people ate meat, especially dog meat.
It was because dog meat could warm the kidneys and strengthen the yang. It could also keep out the cold.
That was also the origin of the custom of eating dog meat in Lidong.
Ye Chen glared at Mengmeng after hearing that, "Cutie used to suck up to you, but you actually want to eat his meat. What are you thinking? You have a bad conscience. "
Although Ye Chen had changed the way he addressed the Patriarch of Hell, the entire Ye family was still used to calling him Cutie.
It was almost impossible for the patriarch to get rid of that title!
Seeing that his father was unhappy, the little girl stuck her tongue out playfully and said, "Cutie is bad. He ran away secretly and didn't even say goodbye to me. If I catch him, I'll definitely pluck his fur."
"That's right, Xiaochen. Cutie has been gone for a long time. Where did he go?" Wu Lan asked from the side, her eyes filled with longing.
Ye Chen comforted her, "Mom, Cutie has something to do outside. But don't worry. He'll be back soon."
As they were talking, Su Yuhan placed the noodles on the table. "Dad, Mom, it's time for breakfast …"
Ye Chen stood outside the house and glanced at the snow outside. He could not help but think of the Patriarch of Hell, "I wonder how the patriarch is …"
…
Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away in the northeast, it was already covered in snow.
In a peach blossom forest, a beautiful woman dressed in white was still trapped in a stone pavilion, just like before. She was still wearing the same white dress, and she was still playing the piano day after day.
Almost when Ye Chen looked north, the lady in white seemed to have sensed something and said slowly, "Third Brother, how's that guy at the back of the mountain?"
A giant python dashed over and spoke in human language, "Big sister, that guy with the surname Huang has been inside for more than ten days. He hasn't eaten or drunk, and he hasn't come out either."
At this point, it seemed to have thought of something, "There's a formation at the back of the mountain. We can't enter, so we don't know if that guy is dead or alive."
A gleam flashed in the white-bearded Meiling's eyes, "Interesting."
Just as they were talking, the Patriarch of Hell's voice sounded in their minds, "Hey, sister, I'm hungry. Can you get your people to get me something to eat?"
'Sister?'
The giant white python was immediately enraged.
Hu Meiling was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"
The Patriarch of Hell's voice sounded again.
"Cough, cough, dog food!"
"Erm, I want the brand McFaddy …"
