Hearing Xu Lanxiang talks about the method of pickling, He Xiaoyun thought that it\'s very similar to pickled vegetables, except that they used more salt, and that they have to pour in clear water to make it ferment.

The two of them spread the cabbages with coarse salt and sealed them tightly in the new large tank. After a day or two, they have to wait for the water to dry out and pour some again. After waiting for about a month, if the cabbages tasted sour, they can finally eat it.

Xu Lanxiang counted the dishes that could be cooked by then, such as sauerkraut stewed vermicelli, sauerkraut stew, sauerkraut fish head... just hearing the dishes names made He Xiaoyun\'s saliva flood.

The next day when the sauerkraut was marinated, the three people received a letter from home and a large bag of dried persimmons.

When He Xiaoyun and Wei Yuanhang left Qingshuihe, the persimmon tree in the backyard was just about to mature. After the persimmons were picked, Wang Chunhua made a special treat for the three of them and sent them over as dried persimmons.

The three people gathered around the fire, reading the letter while eating dried persimmons.

Wei Yuanhang squeezed beside He Xiaoyun and kept asking: "What did grandma say? Does grandma miss me?"

"Yes, grandma said she missed you very much." He Xiaoyun dealt with him casually.

"I miss grandma too," the child said, and then asked again, "Does grandpa miss me? How about uncle?"

He Xiaoyun had to say: "Everyone in the family misses you, even your little sister misses you."

Only then was Wei Yuanhang satisfied and ran to the next door to play.

After reading the letter, He Xiaoyun wrapped five or six dried persimmons in paper and sent them next door.

Xu Lanxiang was knitting a sweater, and when she saw what He Xiaoyun had brought, she asked, "Where did it come from?"

Wei Jianwei was writing a reply under the light, and when He Xiaoyun came back, he showed her what he had been writing to see if there was anything she wanted to add.

When the letter was handed over, he also squeezed her fingers.

He Xiaoyun glanced at him and said nothing. Recently, the two of them have had more physical contact like this. She feels like a frog in boiling water and has gradually become accustomed to his touch.

After reading his letter, she said: "For now, let\'s see what the little kid has to say, and then add it."

She put the letter on the table, turned around to walk away, but Wei Jianwei held her hand.

He Xiaoyun turned her head, "What\'s the matter?"

The child was a little crazy playing next door. On such a cold day, there was a bit of sweat on his forehead. When He Xiaoyun took him back, he was still a little bit unsatisfied, "Mom, can I sleep at Rongrong\'s house tomorrow?"

He Xiaoyun paused, and her heart jumped vigorously. She glanced at Wei Jianwei and felt a little relieved when he saw that he hadn\'t noticed the movement here, but her mind still couldn\'t stop.

If the child goes to sleep next door, won\'t they be the only two people in the house? Looking at Wei Jianwei\'s recent behavior, Xiaoyun felt that if they were lying on the same bed without Wei Yuanhang in between, something will definitely happen! 

As a single dog who has just left the single association(in her mind), this is...
