When I went home for Chinese New Year, I spent a million times more money on my foreign wife.

Last night's snow turned the world into a blanket of white, making it difficult to even open the door, as the snow was up to our calves.

Katyusha was so excited that she skipped breakfast. Wearing a brightly colored floral jacket and the handmade cotton shoes she had just changed into yesterday, she crunched through the snow in the yard.

She scooped up a handful of snow and threw it into the air, then opened her arms to catch it.

"Chen! Let's build a snowman! We're going to build a huge snowman!" Katyusha pointed to the open space outside the yard and gestured that it was even taller than the roof.

Chen Yang stood at the door with a toothbrush in his mouth, spat out a mouthful of white foam, and wrapped his military overcoat tighter around himself.

"What's the point of a snowman? That's for kids." Chen Yang rinsed his mouth. "Let's do something more exciting for adults."

Half an hour later, Katyusha stared wide-eyed at the yellow bulldozer that drove into the village and the two trucks that had brought in clean, fresh snow.

"This is the thrilling project you were talking about?"

"Absolutely." Chen Yang directed the bulldozer operator, "Driver, pile it over there, yes, in that big open space at the village entrance. I need a ramp ten meters high and one hundred meters long to push all this snow up there!"

The bulldozers roared, billowing black smoke. The massive buckets shoveled snow into small mountains as if cutting through tofu.

The ten bodyguards in black were also busy. They took off their sunglasses, took off their expensive cashmere coats, and wore only thermal underwear and black vests. Each of them had a large iron shovel and began to repair the guardrails on both sides of the slide.

The scene left the villagers dumbfounded. What was the Chen family up to now?

Katyusha was thrilled by the scene.

She grabbed a large, widened shovel, rushed up the snowdrift, and started working.

"Get out of the way!" Katyusha shouted, swinging her large shovel across the snow track.

boom! boom! boom!

With each shovelful, she patted the soft snow until it was as hard as cement.

The snow track, which normally requires water to set its shape, was slapped into a mirror-like surface by her brute force.

The bodyguard captain was about to go up and help, but seeing this situation, he silently retreated.

That force would probably cause a comminuted fracture if it hit a person.

They were busy until evening.

With the main body of the slide completed, Chen Yang connected a long water pipe, which contained groundwater pumped directly from the village's well.

呲——

Water mist was sprayed onto the snow track.

Temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius act as a natural quick-freezing machine; water immediately emits white smoke upon contact and instantly freezes into a hard, smooth ice shell.

Layer upon layer, until the entire slide is crystal clear, like a jade ribbon lying across the snow.

The next morning, the sunlight shone on the ice, the reflection so bright it was blinding.

Chen Yang rummaged through the warehouse and found four old truck inner tubes, as well as two large red plastic bathtubs of unknown age.

"Want to sit here?" Katyusha circled the tire, her eyes looking discerning.

"Don't underestimate this thing. It has low friction and is lightweight. Plus, with the slope of this icy track, taking off is a breeze." Chen Yang placed the tire at the top of the slope. "Dare to give it a try?"

Katyusha gave a cold laugh, a look of disdain for the challenge.

Without saying a word, she plopped down in the tire, crossed her legs, and gripped the edge of the tire tightly.

"Go!" Chen Yang gave him a hard shove from behind.

Whoosh!

The tire instantly transformed into a black cannonball and shot out.

It was so fast that even the sound of the wind turned into a shriek.

Katyusha felt the scenery on both sides transform into streaks of light, her adrenaline surge, and she couldn't help but scream, "Ura!!!"

The sound boomed from the top of the slope all the way to the bottom.

The long slide ends in the blink of an eye.

But that wasn't the end of it. The inertia propelled the tires off the track, and they slid for another ten meters on the snow before crashing hard into a huge, soft snowdrift by the roadside.

Pong!

Snowflakes splashed everywhere, and Katyusha was completely buried in them.

Chen Yang was startled and quickly ran down the slope with his bodyguards, calling out, "Wife! Are you alright?"

A hand emerged from the snowdrift, giving a thumbs-up. Then Katyusha, her head covered in snow, her face red from the cold, but her eyes shining brightly, exclaimed, "That was awesome! One more time! I want that big bathtub!"

The commotion here was so loud that it attracted all the children in the village.

Little heads peeked out from behind trees and along walls, sniffling and gazing enviously at the giant slide.

They usually only dare to slide on small dirt slopes, they've never seen a professional track like this with guardrails, all ice, and so long.

Chen Yang saw the group of children and waved: "What are you all standing there for? Those who want to play, come and line up! Hey you, go and get all those broken tires."

The children cheered and rushed over like madmen.

Chen Yue, having somehow gotten wind of the situation, brought a group of young people to join in the fun.

The once deserted village entrance was instantly transformed into an amusement park.

"Don't push! Line up by head!" Chen Yang used a megaphone to maintain order, while ten bodyguards acted as safety officers on both sides of the slide to prevent any unlucky kids from flying out.

Katyusha stopped skating and took over the job of maintaining order, like an impartial drill instructor.

"You're not in the right position, lie down!" Katyusha pushed a child into the bathtub. "Hold on tight to the edge, don't be afraid, charge in like a warrior!"

The chosen child was both nervous and excited. With a push from Katyusha, he screamed as he rushed down the slope.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen came out carrying two large pots of freshly boiled brown sugar and ginger water.

Steaming hot ginger water, one bowl for each person, warms you from your throat to your stomach as you drink it.

"Drink slowly, don't burn yourself!" Chen Ma smiled from ear to ear, looking at the children running around the yard and her foreign daughter-in-law who was like a king of the kids. She felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey.

Chen Yang stood on high ground and watched as Katyusha lifted a chubby little boy into a tire and thoughtfully helped him put on his hat.

The girl laughed carefree, revealing two rows of small white teeth.

At this moment, Chen Yang felt that all the effort he had put in would make his wife happy, his parents able to go back to school, and give the kids a wonderful memory.

In my mind, that familiar mechanical voice rang out precisely on time.

[Ding! Detected that the host genuinely created a snow playground for his wife and shared the joy with the villagers. Katyusha is overflowing with happiness.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a special skill reward: Mastery of Top-Tier Residential and Landscape Design.]

[Skill Description: Possessing this skill grants the host a master-level skill in environmental modification and landscape design, allowing them to effortlessly create both traditional Chinese gardens and modern landscapes.]

Chen Yang stroked his chin, looking at the bustling village before him. This skill came at just the right time.

After the New Year, shouldn't we give this dilapidated village a proper makeover?

Just then, Katyusha, panting heavily, dragged two large tires up and grabbed Chen Yang's sleeve.

"Chen! Those kids down there want to have a race, a two-person speed race! You're in my team, the loser gets a flick on the forehead, hurry up!"

Chen Yang looked into her blue eyes, which were full of fighting spirit, grinned, and threw his coat to the bodyguard.

"Come on! Today I'll show you what a true racing legend from Kaoshantun is all about!"
