Chapter 223 Before and after the winter solstice, the gentleman is at peace
Oda Kyoka felt a little cold in the room, so she rolled up the quilt.
Then he became lazy in a daze, woke up from his dream, and whispered: "Shiyin, I think I need to change to a thicker quilt."
Then she yawned, turned on the phone beside the bed and looked at the time: "It's already afternoon, ah~ it feels so comfortable."
But Hyacinth Curie is too quiet.
Miss Oda Hime wore a very easy-to-use pullover doll pajamas. She stepped on her little rabbit's slippers and walked out the door. First, she saw that there was only a book written on the table in the study, but there was no Andoyuan's figure.
If Miss God was a reasoning expert, she could probably calculate when Andoyuan walked out of the house, but she obviously did not have such ability.
So after going downstairs, I found that all three of them had left.
Kyoka watched the snow falling in the yard gradually grow bigger, and then the sky was stained with silver, as if under slow motion, the boundless water that overturned the world.
Oda Kyoka walked into the kitchen and saw a note with beautiful fonts in front of the desk: "Kyoka, An Jun and Xue are here to visit me. There is a lunch prepared for you in the insulator. If it is cold, turn on the power and heat it up."
There is also a cute simple sketch of a smiley face.
Miss Jingxiang suddenly felt that this winter was not too cold, although it was still necessary to change to a thicker quilt.
The scenery is magnificent, and the world is in one color, and only a piece of silver can be seen. Andaoyuan walked by the roadside with an umbrella, and the silver-haired girl and Shi Yin were completely unaffected by the snow and ice.
Along the way, only Andaoyuan's umbrella was stained with some snow. When he came back, he shook the umbrella in front of the door to prevent the snow from melting on the floor on the first floor. This year, the weather was cold in the winter of the Gengzi year, and the snow often did not melt easily. The snow covered on the soil was relatively soft, and there was a lot of non-flowing air inside. The air did not transfer heat, but it seemed like a warm quilt was covered on the earth. No matter how cold the weather was outside, the temperature below would not drop very low.
So he thought that in the flower pond in the courtyard of Hyacinth House, the seeds of those flowers and plants will bloom more brilliantly in the next year.
The sound of wind chimes rang, and it was blocked a lot when the snow fell, and it did not reach too far away.
Oda Kyoka was close to her, so when she heard it, she looked up and looked at her face. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
"You guys are back very quickly, I thought it was going to be evening."
She said while sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV.
Xue ran in first, put the shoes on her feet into the shoe rack, and then jumped to the sofa in a few steps: "Jingxiang, we had a delicious meal at Shiyin's house. As I thought, Shiyin's mother cooked very well."
The silver-haired girl had a satisfied smile on her face and rubbed her belly.
When Shiyin Shintani heard this, she naturally replied with a smile: "If my mother knew that you had such an evaluation, she would be very happy."

In the afternoon, the night slowly entered the snowy waltz.
When Andaoyuan returned to the house, he began to prepare the dumpling fillings that he would eat on the Winter Solstice and the noodles that he would use as dumpling skins.
The Winter Solstice Festival originated from the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and has been around since the present. The Qing Jialu even says that "the winter solstice is as big as the year". This shows that the ancients attached great importance to the winter solstice. People believe that the winter solstice is a natural transformation of the yin and yang energy, and is a blessing given by God. The Han Dynasty used the Winter Solstice as the "Winter Festival", and the government held a congratulation ceremony called "Holstice in the Winter", and it was a routine holiday.
There is a record in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Around the Winter Solstice, a gentleman will be at peace, all officials will be silent, they will not obey the government, and they will choose auspicious days before saving trouble." Therefore, the court of heaven has to rest on holidays, the army is on standby, the border is closed, the business is closed, and relatives and friends will give each other delicious food, visit each other, and have a happy "settlement and quiet" festival.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, the winter solstice was the day to worship the heavens and ancestors. On this day, the emperor would hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in the suburbs. On this day, the people would worship their parents and elders. There are still some places to celebrate the festival on the winter solstice.
Andaoyuan was no exception. He was going to call his parents and say a word after dinner.
Now, after washing his hands, he brought a pair of thin transparent gloves and was peeling shrimps. A string of garbled characters suddenly lit up on his phone.
Andao Yuan was not in a hurry. He took off his gloves carefully and noticed that it was still a video. He thought for a while and silently clicked on it.
The screen on the other side of the screen lights up:
It seems that outside the glaciers from ancient times to the present, countless lights are lit up in the clear sky, and there are many people wearing red scientific research clothes and sunglasses.
A smile suddenly appeared on his face, because Andaoyuan knew that this part must have been taken by his mother at the Antarctic scientific research station, and he must have been there recently.
The reason why I didn’t leave a message is probably because I didn’t need it, after all, it was just a period of information collection.
Moreover, since he gradually understood the extraordinary world, he now has different views on the Antarctic glaciers. Perhaps he can find records in the epic describing the Quaternary flood.
"It's so long, it's so long." He turned off the light on his phone screen. The light seemed to be different from the winter night. It was a little unreal, but it made the night no longer dark.
Around the winter solstice, a gentleman is at peace.
It's a blessing that suits the temperament of a literary person.
After thinking for a while, Andaoyuan turned on his cell phone again, took a photo of himself preparing ingredients on the kitchen counter and sent it over.
However, he is just an ordinary mobile phone number in Japan, and probably cannot connect to the Antarctic scientific research satellite phone.
Just as Andaoyuan was about to continue preparing ingredients, Shiyin Shingu leaned into her head. She had just taken a nap for a while and had just woken up: "An Jun, do you need me to help?"
"That's fine, then you can help me with some noodles."
He did not refuse, both of them were so familiar with each other, and there was no need for any discrete respect.
Andaoyuan likes this warm feeling very much.
Shintani Shinya pulled a strand of hair that seemed a little messy when she was sleeping to her ears, and then brought an apron from the kitchen and walked to him.
The two of them were preparing for the Winter Solstice dinner slowly, and occasionally had a few conversations, which was very harmonious.
