The weather is getting colder and colder. There have been two heavy snowfalls just after entering the winter months. There is also a thick layer of ice in Qinghu Lake. The thickest part can accommodate a man weighing 140 to 50 pounds walking around.

, and for a time this place became a paradise for children.

When Qin Xiaoxiao has nothing to do, he takes Rhubarb and Meie for a walk on the lake and watches the children playing and playing. Sometimes when he gets into the mood for fishing, he digs a hole in the ice and uses only a fishing line.

With a fishhook and a few small earthworms, you can catch plump fish.

Every time at this time, the black raccoons on the mountain and the domestic cats in the village would run to the lake in groups. The fish Qin Xiaoxiao had caught had no time to throw it into the bucket, so they grabbed it with their paws and caught it in their mouths.

Have a great meal on the side.

Naturally, the thin domestic cats couldn't grab the black wild raccoon, and they didn't dare to grab it. They could only watch Qin Xiaoxiao meowing helplessly. If they could speak human words, they would definitely ask Qin Xiaoxiao to take care of the black wild civet.

Raccoon dogs, let them not be too domineering and leave some space for them.

Fortunately, the black raccoon wasn't too aggressive. After eating, he gave up his position and went to the side to bask in the sun and lick his fur. When Qin Xiaoxiao caught another fish, he wouldn't pounce on it and compete with the domestic cats.

The scene of a group of big and small furries gathering together is so cute. The children playing on the ice are very eager for their smooth and smooth fur. They always forget the warnings of the adults and quietly touch them.

I came here to play with the black raccoon dog.

The black raccoons were very aloof. They bared their teeth and gasped as soon as they stretched out their hands. When the children were scared away, they didn't move their buttocks and continued to lick their fur leisurely, squinting their eyes and enjoying the quiet time.

"Let's go home." After catching a few fish that he wanted to eat, Qin Xiaoxiao put away the fishing line and the pony, greeted the stuffed animals, and walked home with the fish bucket.

Dahuang and Meie slowly followed her, and the black raccoons and domestic cats followed her around. When Qin Xiaoxiao and the other three arrived home, they meowed twice before scattering.

"Hey, this black fish is very fat. Let's use it to heat up the pot and cook the vegetables at night!" Zhao Cao'er just walked into the house from outside and met Qin Xiaoxiao at the door. He looked at the four or five kilograms in the bucket.

Big Black Fish couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and proposed to Qin Xiaoxiao.

"Okay, it's too cold today. I caught it just to boil it in a hot pot and eat it." Qin Xiaoxiao responded, handed her the fish in a bucket, and said in a low voice: "The pot cooked by my second aunt is better than that of my mother."

The food is much more delicious, I have had a hard time today."

Hot pot is a way of eating that came from the south a few years ago. Fish, chicken, duck or pork bones are added to make a thick soup base, and various meats and vegetables are blanched in it. Eating this in the winter will warm your stomach.

It warms the body and is very popular.

Zhao Cao'er just wanted to eat ready-made, so she didn't bother to heat up the pot. But Qin Xiaoxiao was so good at coaxing people, she took the bucket over with a smile and said proudly: "Don't worry, the second aunt guarantees that the pot will be boiled."

It’s delicious and delicious, so you can enjoy it!”

Qin Xiaoxiao also smiled happily, and slapped her with another flattery: "Second aunt, don't cook too well. If the fragrance spreads and attracts people from the village, these fish will not be enough to eat."

Zhao Cao'er laughed louder and walked quickly with the bucket: "Let's bolt the door, no one will call the door so shamelessly. You can also go into the house and tell your grandparents not to cook at night.

Come to my place to eat."

"Yeah, yeah, there are still some seafood that brother Li had sent to him a while ago. I went to wash them and use them to put in the pot and cook some rice." Qin Xiaoxiao responded loudly, reminding Zhao Cao'er not to cook.

Zhao Caoer happily agreed, praising Qin Xiaoxiao for her ability to do things well.

Qin Xiao smiled and took Dahuang and Meie through the door of his house. Then he saw his mother standing in the middle of the yard, and the boss stared at her unhappily.

She secretly thought it was going to be bad, and hurriedly walked over to coax people: "Mom, the black fish is slippery and fishy, ​​and it is too troublesome to handle. I feel sorry for you because you are afraid that you will be frozen, so you coaxed the second aunt to cook the soup base. It is really not as good as the pot that was not made by you.

Second aunt."

Lin Qiuniang was doubtful: "Really?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly: "It's really true. It's more real than real gold. If you don't believe me, ask dad. He won't lie to you!"

Qin Shan happened to come out of the house and asked casually when he heard this: "What do you want to ask me?"

Lin Qiuniang wanted to know who made the delicious pot between her and Zhao Cao'er, so she said before Qin Xiaoxiao: "Your daughter said that the pot I made was not as delicious as the pot cooked by my second brother and sister. What do you think?"

"Hahahaha, isn't this the lice on the monk's head? It's obvious." Qin Shan didn't notice that his daughter was winking at him crazily, and laughed and said, "The bottom of the pot you boil is called soup at most, and the soup cooked by my second brother and sister is the only one that tastes good."

Qin Xiaoxiao on the side covered her face, her father is really a fool who deceives girls!

"Okay, okay, okay, you two, father and daughter, just dislike it. You have to eat hot pot to survive on your own from now on!" Lin Qiuniang was very calm and did not quarrel with them. She left these words and walked away expressionlessly.

Qin Shan scratched his head and looked confused: "Daughter, what happened to your mother?"

Qin Xiaoxiao sighed: "Dad, let's be more diligent these days and take care of all the laundry and dishes. And Mom points to the east, please don't go west. I can't help you with anything else."

.”

After saying that, she put down the ponytail and fishing line and went to the kitchen house to collect the seafood, wash what needed to be washed and soak what needed to be soaked, then washed the rice and put it into the pot, and started cooking rice honestly.

In the evening, there was a strong fragrance coming from the stove in the second room, which attracted the dogs to poke their heads at the door and linger. Seven or eight kinds of vegetables, meat and rice were also prepared in the first room, and they were brought directly to the second room from the backyard.

Main hall.

Qin Xiaoxiao brought two jars of wine, one of peach blossom wine and the other of black wine. She poured peach blossom wine for Mrs. Miao, her daughter-in-law, Xue Ya and herself, and poured black wine for Mr. Qin, his father and his son, and gathered around

He ate it lively against the boiling pot.

Halfway through the meal, Dabao, who had been wandering outside for half a month, came back. Seeing the fragrant pot, he screamed excitedly, sat down on a chair, picked up the spare chopsticks on the side, and ate

.

Zhao Cao'er didn't want to see him for a long time. Seeing his appearance, he suddenly got angry and cursed: "You bastard, you are willing to come back. I thought you were freezing to death outside!"

Dabao drank half a bowl of wine in one breath and said with a playful smile: "Your son is so handsome and talented. It would be a pity to God if he froze to death."

After saying that, he fished for something to eat from the pot with one hand and touched his arms with the other hand. Amidst Zhao Cao'er's constant scolding, he took out a thick pile of stuff and slapped it on her face with a "snap" sound.

On the table in front of you.

"What is this?" Zhao Cao'er's attention was attracted by this stack of paper-like things. He took it over and opened it. The next moment, he slapped Dabao hard on the back: "You brat, you went to rob the bank.
