Ochiha Ochiwa woke up to the fresh fragrance of plum blossoms.

Her eyes were hazy for a while, and then she gradually regained her clarity. Recently, the time she spent in deep sleep became longer and longer, and the time she spent awake became shorter and shorter. On the contrary, she needed some time to distinguish reality every time she woke up.

, tell yourself this is not a dream.

As far as the eye can see, there are beautiful red plum blossoms all over the branches.

You can tell at a glance that Uchiha's tape is someone's handiwork. People pick flowers by taking off small branches and inserting them into bottles. He is good at it. He always breaks big branches. It's a bit rough, but...

She can understand the precious intention of trying hard to bring all the good things in the world to her eyes.

So, she immediately smiled, and with a smile in her eyes, she stretched out her cold and trembling hands from the quilt, and gently stroked the red plum on the pillow.

When Uchiha Madara entered the house again, what he saw was this scene——

The wife lay on her side on the bed, her whole body curled up into a small ball, and then she snuggled up to the red plums, touching and caressing her while smiling sweetly, just like a bird sleeping among the red plums in the snow.

kitten.

His heart suddenly felt so soft that it almost trembled, and he couldn't wait to go over and hug her. Because in his twenty years of life, he had never seen such a lovely woman, and for the rest of his life... I'm afraid he will never see her again.

When I meet her, no one can be cuter than her.

But, no.

He stood by the door and waited patiently for a while, until his whole body was soaked by the indoor temperature and there was no longer any chill. Then he walked over and sat down cross-legged. Then, he leaned down and hugged her tightly through the quilt.

He smiled and said: "Do you like it just like this? If you like it, I will pick it for you every day until the plum blossoms are gone, and then I will pick other flowers for you."

"No need, this flower is already very pretty. I can keep it here for a long time." Uchiha smiled and raised his hand to touch the man's head, inserting five fingers into his thick hair and gently stroking it.

Caressing her gently, just like a mother would do to her child. She has been doing this a lot recently. Because... the way he begged her from the bottom of his heart not to leave, sometimes it really felt like he was no different from a child, no, compared to

Two real children are even more lovable.

"Hmm." Uchiha Madara leaned down and took a deep sniff of his wife's scent, and murmured, "Hitomi, the smell on your body...is getting better and better..."

With the endless resurgence of chakra in her body, the aura that originally belonged to her was also fully revealed. He couldn't tell what it smelled like. Occasionally, it felt like the trees beside the stream, with the sunlight, the gentleness of the water and the smell of the trees.

Fresh... Of course, this is more of a psychological feeling. After all, smell is indeed a personal matter in many cases. However, he likes it very much, likes it very much... even if he does nothing with this smell, he just looks like this

Holding and sucking can help you quickly settle down physically and mentally.

"Is there any?" Uchiha raised his hand and smelled it, then looked sideways at the plum blossoms in full bloom, and said with a smile, "Plum blossoms smell better."

"You smell better than flowers." The man insisted, "No flowers can compare to you."

"...Hmm." Uchiha patted her husband's head patiently for a while and then said, "Madara, can you open the window or door a little? I feel so bored with the doors and windows closed all day..."

"Okay." Uchiha nodded, then stood up and walked to the window, opening it a little.

The sunshine today is not very good.

Because she was worried that it would affect her rest, there was no light in the room. It was very dark now.

Therefore, as soon as the window is opened, light flows through it instantly.

The whole room suddenly became brighter.

Uchiha Madara turned around and saw his wife struggling to get up. He quickly walked back, hugged her behind him and supported her, and whispered: "If you don't lie down well, what are you doing up?"

Uchiha took a breath, raised his head and said with a smile: "I always feel like I have been lying down all day long... my whole body is getting moldy. I can't even remember the last time I went out..."

Uchiha Madara fell silent immediately.

Last time I went out...

It was back in the days of Kyōrei Shrine.

Before leaving, she could still sit on the bullock cart and chat and laugh with her sister Ling.

But now...

During these days, Aya, Ken and the children also came over from time to time to accompany him, but they usually came when he was not free. In other words, they all intentionally left them with more time alone.

He knew what they meant, but he still didn't want to accept his fate.

This shouldn't be their fate.

They deserve a better and brighter future.

The Uchiha boy listened to the people behind him being silent, knowing that his casual words might have ruined the atmosphere again... Hey, the big cat is a complicated man, sometimes he is very angry, sometimes he is very stingy, sometimes he is informal, and some

Sometimes he is particularly delicate, and when he is angry, a simple word may inexplicably hit him. Hey, he is such an elusive cat.

However, she has become very skilled at dealing with this, so...

She lay on his chest, looked up at the man's chin, and said with a slightly puffed face: "Not only did I go out, it seems that I haven't brushed my teeth, washed my face, and taken a shower for a long time. I must be dirty and smelly now... You just said that I feel good."

It sounds like it must be a lie."

In other words, it's not that she can handle this skillfully, it's his connivance that allows her to say whatever she wants.

Uchiha Madara immediately smiled. He put his arms around her increasingly thin waist, lowered his head and buried it in her neck. He took another deep breath and said with a smile: "I didn't lie to you. And, peace of mind."

Well, I have to help you wash and change clothes every day. Hitomi, I promise you, every hair on your body is clean."

Ochiha Uchiha also laughed immediately. After laughing for a while, she said with a bit of coquettishness in her tone: "Madara, I want a small stove." In fact, she didn't want it that much, but for him

Making a request seemed to make him feel better.

This is indeed the case. Uchiha Madara likes this feeling of being needed. No matter what she wants, he will find it for him. He wants her to know that no one in this world can do this. So,

Stay with him and don't go anywhere else.

"What do you want a little stove for?" he asked. "The house isn't warm enough?"

As the man said this, he subconsciously touched his wife's face, neck and hands, but in fact... it was useless. Her body seemed to have lost its ability to sense temperature. No matter how warm the room was, it would not get warm at all.

.

"No." Uchiha smiled and shook his head, "I just suddenly want a small stove, and then roast sweet potatoes, peanuts...ah, by the way, and oranges. The whole house will become warm in an instant.

It's fragrant. I read in a book that it feels like celebrating the New Year." She raised her hand and touched the man's face and asked softly, "Is it good? Ban."

Uchiha Madara grabbed his wife's hand, kissed it, and replied: "I feel good." Listening to her description, he suddenly remembered that he had done this with his brothers when he was a child, and a group of children sat around

There is a small oven with an iron mesh on it. There is a teapot in the middle of the grill, and some dried fish, sweet potatoes, nuts and oranges are randomly placed around it. Izuna likes to eat roasted peanuts, Arata likes to eat roasted sweet potatoes, and Setsuna likes it.

When it comes to brewed tea, Zhenhong likes the fragrant dried fish. But his favorite is oranges.

Oranges that are already sweet but too cool suddenly become even sweeter after being roasted. If you eat them in large quantities, you will not shiver with cold. You will only feel warm, as if winter has turned into a warm season with the scent of oranges.

.

It's been extremely cold this winter...

Therefore, it would be great if you can warm up this winter with such a move, and then embrace your wife to the fullest in a house filled with the scent of oranges.

Therefore, Madara Uchiha immediately had someone bring the oven, brought it into the house himself, and placed it not far from his wife's quilt, and warned: "I can only put it so close to you, but you can't do it when you are alone.

"And he said, "When using the oven, there must be gaps in the doors and windows inside the house, otherwise something will happen."

"Hmm~"

Uchiha Madara, who was placing small sweet potatoes and oranges on the oven, looked at his wife's sweet smile and couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her sweet cheek gently. He felt that she was even sweeter than roasted oranges.

Even more fragrant.

after……

Uchiha Izuna, Hojo Aya, Hojo Ken and two children also came. The family sat around the oven lively, chatting casually while eating.

Ochiha Uchiha didn't speak much because she was in low spirits. Most of the time she just snuggled in her husband's arms and looked at everyone with a smile. But even so, she still felt very satisfied, because she wanted it very much a long time ago...

A home.

A home that is not too big but warm enough.

And the man hugging her at this moment, although he had hardly promised anything verbally, he truly gave her everything.

"Huh?" Uchiha Madara looked down at the person in his arms and asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me all the time?"

"Because I want to kiss you." Ochiha replied honestly, "So I want to find a good place."

The man chuckled and asked, "Have you found it?"

"Yes." She nodded, and under the gaze of others who were almost accustomed to it, she raised her head and kissed the corner of his mouth quickly. Then, the tips of her ears suddenly trembled, she turned her head to look in the direction of the door, and murmured

, "It's snowing."

"What?" Hojo Aya asked with a smile, "It didn't snow when we came."

"But I heard..." Uchiha replied softly, "the sound of large snowflakes falling from the sky..." She didn't lie. With the recovery of chakra, her five senses also became extremely sharp.

"It's true." Uchiha Izuna nodded, "I heard it too, right, brother?" After that, he stood up and walked to the door, opening the door slightly.

Everyone saw that there were indeed large tracts of white snowflakes falling from the sky.

This is also the first snow this winter.

"It's so beautiful..." Uchiha murmured. Then, he raised his hand and pulled the man's sleeve, pleading softly, "Madara, hold me and go out for a look."

"No, I'll catch a cold."

"Please, Madara..." She looked up at the person, pleading with her round and big eyes, "This may be... the snow we saw together at the beginning and at the end. I want to take a good look at it and then remember it.

,May I?"

"..." Uchiha Madara's expression suddenly darkened, he closed his eyes, and then, without saying a word, he picked up the person in his arms wrapped in a quilt and strode towards the door.

At the same time, he finally made a decision in his heart.
