Chapter 1817: Spending the Holiday Alone 5
Even though she felt lonely, Feng Qingxue was quite adept at finding joy in solitude.
Now that the natural disaster had passed, the soldiers on the front lines were handling the aftermath, and no injured people had been sent to her. Without any pressure, she could indulge in this; otherwise, she’d be too worried about Lu Jiang to think about such things.
In the kitchen were two pots; one was stewing two old geese, the other five-spice beef, and smokeless white coal burned in the stove.
Both the coal and the ingredients for seasoning came from her space.
Feng Qingxue sat before the stove, her eyes fixed on the fire, turning the jade bracelet on her other wrist.
It was the bracelet that Lu Jiang had brought from South Yunnan, and she often wore it on her wrist when no one was around.
People nurture jade for three years, and jade nurtures people for a lifetime.
The more she wore the bracelet, the more radiant it became; its color deep and vivid, sparkling like crystal, naturally calming her mind.
Being alone at home, how could she not feel at peace?
Feng Qingxue sighed, poking the coal in the stove with a fire poker and turning the flame from high to low.
Around nine in the evening, Feng Qingxue pierced the stewed goose and beef with chopsticks, fished them out of the pots in turn, and placed them directly into a basin to tuck them away in her space. Feng Qingxue washed her hands and feet, did some self-care, and lay down on the bed.
New Year’s Eve passed by so quietly and uneventfully.
