Faced with Zhao Xuemei's invitation, Li Shaoan agreed without thinking. He stomped his feet outside the door, shook the snow off his body, and followed Zhao Xuemei into the room.

When Zhao Xuemei turned on the lights and looked at the snow-white walls and the new carved furniture in the room, Li Shaoan sighed repeatedly that the house not only looked high-end and elegant outside, but also the things inside were not cheap.

There is a table in the middle of the main hall, with a small quilt covered on the table. Zhao Xuemei lifted up a corner of the quilt, and there was a brazier inside, covered with a pile of ash.

Zhao Xuemei used fire tongs to clear the charcoal ash, revealing the charcoal fire buried inside, like red gems scattered all over the ground, with a shiny light. Then she added a few pieces of charcoal to get in, so that the charcoal in the brazier would not be ignited long before people would sit next to the table without being cold.

Such a table is a must-have for every household in Tieshanwan. Without this, it can’t be enough for winter. To be honest, it is the difference between charcoal. Zhao Xuemei’s house burns good charcoal without smoke, and the price is even more expensive. Most people burn the smoked charcoal bag at home, which is relatively cheap.

"You're sitting here, I'll go to the kitchen to cook you a bowl of ginger soup."

Zhao Xuemei was very happy that Li Shaoan could come into the house, with a smile on her face.

"Your feet are not well yet, so let's rest first."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal to walk around the house."

"It's better not to bother. I'll roast the fire, warm my body and leave."

"That won't work. You've been blowing the cold wind for a day. If the cold air enters the body, you will get sick. Only by drinking ginger soup can you drive away the cold."

Zhao Xuemei came to the kitchen. In that era, everyone was still burning firewood, and her family had already used honeycomb coal.

The honeycomb coal stove looks like an iron bucket. The space in the middle can just put three pieces of honeycomb coal. The top is new coal, the blackest color. The bottom is old coal, which has been burned and turned yellow.

If you want to change coal, you must clamp out the bottom piece of old coal with tongs, then put the two pieces of coal in one by one, and add the new coal.

If you want to cook, just open the seal under the stove and the fire will increase. If you want to deal with the emergency, there is a faster way, which is to change the coal in the middle to the first place, so that there will be enough firepower immediately.

Zhao Xuemei was skillfully busy in the kitchen, and it was obvious that she was also a woman who could do housework. Boil the water, pour the chopped ginger into it, and then add brown sugar to boil it. After about a few minutes, a bowl of hot ginger soup was cooked.

"Drink it while it's hot."

Zhao Xuemei held the bowl and delivered the steaming ginger soup to Li Shaoan.

After taking the bowl and feeling the temperature coming from the bowl, Li Shaoan's frozen hands gradually regained a little bit of consciousness.

Li Shaoan looked at Zhao Xuemei silly, and suddenly a thought that had never happened before arose in his heart. How great would it be if he could have a wife like Zhao Xuemei so considerate and gentle?

"Look at me, drink it quickly." Li Shaoan felt a little uncomfortable and Zhao Xuemei urged.

The ginger soup was hot. Because it was frozen, Li Shaoan didn't feel hot when he drank it. It was just a warm current that passed through his throat and flowed into his heart.

"Why are you still looking at me? Is there any flowers on my face?"

Li Shaoan drank all the ginger soup in his bowl, but his eyes were still staring at Zhao Xuemei blankly, and under the light, he admired this woman with delicate appearance, white skin, red lips and white teeth.

"You are better than flowers." Li Shaoan said blankly.

After hearing the praise, Zhao Xuemei was overjoyed, but she pretended to be a little angry, "Why are you so frivolous? If you do this, I will drive you out."

"I'm really sorry, I just felt that I had no intention of being flirtatious just now. If you make you angry, I'll leave now." Seeing Zhao Xuemei angry, Li Shaoan didn't know whether it was true or not. Quan thought it was really angry with himself, and felt guilty, so he wanted to get up and leave.

Seeing that Li Shaoan was about to leave, Zhao Xuemei became anxious. Unexpectedly, this guy was really a fool. He was so domineering and unreasonable during the day, so why did he become a elm-head now?

Zhao Xuemei called Li Shaoan, "Stop, who told you to leave?"

Li Shaoan looked puzzled and touched the back of his head, "Ah? I made you unhappy. Didn't you say you wanted to drive me out?"

"If you let me leave, you will leave? Then I have changed my mind now, you are not allowed to leave." Zhao Xuemei said in a sweet voice.

Li Shaoan was amused and crying for a moment. He said that women's faces change at the same time. It seems that this is correct.

"You are roasting here on fire, I'll find you a set of clothes to change. The clothes inside are wet and can easily catch cold when worn."

"No need, I'll go back later and I'll arrive shortly."

"No, you have to listen to me. If you wear wet clothes, the cold wind will catch a cold."

Zhao Xuemei said that, then went upstairs and found clothes for Li Shaoan.

Li Shaoan, who was baking on the fire at the table, always felt that something was wrong. Where was it? Wait, just now Zhao Xuemei said to find me a set of clothes to change?

Suddenly, several thunders slashed over Li Shaoan's head. Where did Zhao Xuemei get the man's clothes and the underwear inside? Li Shaoan's mood suddenly became a little confused. He thought about many possibilities in his heart, but he was not sure. After thinking about it, he had to wait for Zhao Xuemei to come down and ask her clearly.

Not long after, Zhao Xuemei walked downstairs with a set of men's thermal underwear, handed it to Li Shaoan, and reminded him: "Come on, change it."

Li Shaoan finally couldn't help but feel confused and asked, "Xuemei, where did you come from this dress?"

Zhao Xuemei was stunned at first, then understood what Li Shaoan was worried about, and smiled generously: "This set of clothes was originally to be bought for my man, but he has never come back and has not had time to give it to him. It's better to wear the new one first."

Li Shaoan was at a loss and didn't know how to respond. This was a bolt from the blue. Zhao Xuemei was already married.

"Yes, why am I so stupid? Judging from her dress and temperament, she is probably married. I still think about everything here. It's ridiculous."

Li Shaoan cursed himself in his heart. The sudden change made him feel a little bitter. It turns out that he was thinking too much.

"Your man won't come back, right?"

Li Shaoan felt that he could no longer sit still. He stayed at her house with a married woman at night. If someone saw her, it would be unreasonable.

Zhao Xuemei laughed contemptuously: "Are you scared?"

Li Shaoan said arrogantly: "What am I afraid of? We are so open and we have nothing to do. What's there to be afraid of?"

Looking at Li Shaoan's complicated expression, Zhao Xuemei smiled and suddenly realized that the man was nervous. It was so interesting.

"My man works in the gold mine on Xuefeng and comes back once a month." Zhao Xuemei explained.

"Oh." When Li Shaoan learned that Zhao Xuemei was already a woman, she felt depressed and suddenly felt that no matter how beautiful this woman was, she was someone else's wife and had nothing to do with her.

"What's wrong? I'm suddenly feeling depressed."

"Nothing, then I'll leave first."

"You...ah, then you go..."

Zhao Xuemei looked at Li Shaoan resentfully. She probably understood the reason why Li Shaoan became lost. She was not the same for Li Shaoan, but what could she change?

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

Just as Li Shaoan was about to open the door and leave, he heard a knock on the door outside.

Li Shaoan was so scared that his hair stood up. It was over! He was about to be blocked in the house. He couldn't explain it clearly if he was beaten to death. He was completely finished.

Although the two of them did not do anything, they would be seen, and how can it be explained by the fact that they are alone and widowed and living together in the same room.

The two looked at each other, and Zhao Xuemei's panic was even more than Li Shaoan. Who else would knock on the door late at night? Could it be that his man is back?

"Hurry up and hide in the kitchen." Zhao Xuemei was so scared that she lost her blood.

Li Shaoan didn't dare to stop and immediately hid in the kitchen.
