Chapter 1509: Holding Hands

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xue Yan continued, “I want to erect a monument for them all, build a grave. Even though there aren’t any of their bones, we can consider it as doing it out of our own goodwill. In the future, when the Qingming Festival comes, I can also pay my respects to them.”

That sounds like a good idea.” Jiang Yue had no objections.

From the chat records between the highest commander of Area E and the second highest commander of Area D, she could tell that Bai Yu’s relatives were all good to him. At that time, Bai Yu was the only one with a superpower. He was afraid that Bai Yu would be treated as an alien, so his relatives kept their mouths shut and didn’t let anyone know about his secret.

Moreover, from how Bai Yu brought his cousin, the highest commander of Area E, into the space to play, it could be seen that Bai Yu had a good relationship with his relatives.

“However, the weather is not good now, and the day after tomorrow is the New Year. Let’s wait until after the New Year to make it.” Jiang Yue said.

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded. He thought so too.

…

On the 29th day of the month, snow was raining.

It snowed heavily for an entire day and only stopped late at night. On the eve of the new year, it was covered in thick snow.

The first thing everyone did when they woke up in the morning was to clear the snow.

The snow was not cold before the storm, but it quickly turned into ice after a while. Today was freezing, but Xue Shi and the others were still rolling and playing in the thick snow even though their faces were red from the cold. There were also the children in the village playing. Moreover, wasn’t it the New Year today? Some people had already started preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner early in the morning. There was laughter everywhere.

Because Jiang Yue was pregnant, her family naturally didn’t let her sweep the snow or do anything else. At this moment, she was just standing in the corridor at the door of the room, wearing a white cloak to keep her warm. She looked up at the icicles on the roof quietly.

The icicles were extremely translucent, sharp, and thin like spears.

However, the rows along the eaves were quite beautiful.

After looking at the ice for a while, Jiang Yue retracted her gaze and continued to watch Xue Yan sweep the snow.

Xue Yan was cleaning the snow in the yard with her family. Usually, after it snowed, the sun would shine down and dry the area. After cleaning the yard, even if it couldn’t dry in the morning, it would be enough for them to roam around. At night, the children could set off fireworks and firecrackers in the yard.

Now, the Da Ling Ministry of Works has produced many kinds of fireworks, some of which could be held in one’s hand. However, because the raw materials for making fireworks were expensive, the price to have one was also expensive.

Usually, people were reluctant to buy them, and at most, they would buy some firecrackers to set off to celebrate.

The ones they used were firecrackers. They had been around for a long time and were much cheaper than fireworks.

Xue Yan helped clean up the snow before putting down his shovel and broom. At this time, breakfast was ready at home. Yu Hongyan was already standing at the entrance of the courtyard calling for the children to eat. When the children heard this, they immediately stopped playing with the snow and swarmed back. Of course, the older children did not forget to take care of the younger children. Xue Shi held Xue Qiansheng’s hand and Xue Bai held Xue Xingran’s hand to prevent the younger children from running too fast and falling.

Looking at these children, Xue Yan smiled, then walked towards Jiang Yue, holding Jiang Yue’s hand as they went to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

Because he had just finished his work, his hands were warmer than usual, which made Jiang Yue’s hands feel cozy. He wrapped his hands around Jiang Yue’s hands, keeping them warm.

Jiang Yue also let him hold her hand.

Now that she was pregnant, not only him, but even her family members were treating them like children again. They were extremely nervous that she would injure herself. Not only did they have to be accompanied wherever they went, but they were told to always hold hands.
