A few days later, the weather became colder and colder, and it was December in the twinkling of an eye.

Without Xue Chuan's company, the quilt is always cold. Zhang Man'er is covered with a thick quilt and sleeps very uneasily every night.

When I woke up the next morning and got out of bed, I felt very cold.

Put on the raccoon dog cape that Xue Chuan sent her, and it was immediately wrapped by the warm temperature, like Xue Chuan's fiery chest.

A pair of jade hands pushed the window open a little bit, and a cold wind poured in, which made Zhang Man'er shiver. With the snowflakes flying, the room was full of noise.

There are snowflakes. Is it snowing?

The snowflakes on raccoon dog skin melt into drops of snow water.

Zhang Man'er was stunned, and then opened the window to the maximum limit. There was snow outside. Countless snowflakes fell from the air, flying around like naughty elves.

Courtyard, eaves, stables, are covered with a thick layer of snow, from a distance, like thick white blankets.

Everywhere is a piece of silver, the yard of the two small trees, swaying in the wind, trees hanging crystal ice.

After closing the window, Zhang Man'er wrapped his cloak tightly and came to the yard. When he stepped on it, he had deep footprints, accompanied by creaking sound, which was especially clear and loud.

It's snowing. It's the first snow of the year.

Zhang Man'er shivered, went to the kitchen, cooked some millet porridge to fill his stomach, and then came out to find that the snow had stopped.

Stepping on the thick snow, I went out of the courtyard and saw that every household was shoveling snow with shovels.

The village is very busy. The sound of shovels is everywhere. Some children are happily chasing and playing with each other in the snow. One by one, they are wearing thick cotton padded clothes, just like the meat of zongzi. It's very gratifying to see them.

For these children, snowy days are full of infinite joy. They are not afraid of the cold. They run, jump, play snowball, have snowball fights and make snowmen in the village.

On a snowy day, the ox cart passed by the village road. It was very slow. The tracks of the wheels formed two long lines.

On the bus sat five or six men in thin clothes, who came back from short-term jobs in the town.

It's almost new year's day, and the life in the town is almost over. Fang Yu should be back soon, but Fang Yu is not seen on this ox cart.

But this man can't come back. It has nothing to do with Zhang Man'er. Anyway, the man's head is already green.

It's really sad that I don't even know what my pretty daughter-in-law is up to after half a year's hard work.

Zhang Man'er walked through Xue Yu's house under the thick snow and saw Xue Yang's two brand-new tile houses standing there.

The new house was built. Just a few days later, it snowed. It was a good time to build it.

The wooden door of the new house was closed, but Xue Yu's house was very busy. There were bursts of voices, including Xue Yang's and Yang Kexin's, and a childish voice.

It sounds like little stone. Is it school holiday? Why else is he at home?

Xueji snack shop is going to have a holiday in ten days. As the owner, she will give you a longer holiday so that you can have a good new year.

"Aunt three, it's really you." Xiaoshi is wearing a thick blue cotton padded jacket, which sets off his beautiful face.

He opened the door and trotted out. Just now, in the hall, the fourth uncle was doing small wooden work, and the fourth aunt was holding the sole of her shoes. He felt bored and kept staring at the door.

When I saw the elegant Cape, it seemed that someone was standing in the yard. Little stone opened the door and found it was Zhang Man'er.

He was pleasantly surprised to see his three most beloved aunts.

After half a year of school life, Xiaoshi's whole life has been transformed, and his childishness has faded away with a faint flavor of books.

As a result of being in town for a long time, the originally dark skin has turned white a lot. In addition, the quality of the clothes they wear is very good, which seems different from the children in the village.

Zhang Man'er took lotus steps and patted him on the shoulder, with a bright smile on his face.

Compared with the past, Xiaoshi's body is much stronger. His height was a little longer in summer, but now there is no obvious change.

Seeing this sensible child, she was also quite kind-hearted as an aunt: "is the school on holiday?"

Little stone just nodded, met those who had played with little partners, waving a snowball called him: "little stone, come, play together."

"Little stone, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much. Since you went to town, you have been estranged from us."

"That is, we must have a good play, snowball fighting, snowball throwing and so on while there is snow today."

Seeing these good friends who used to play, Xiaoshi jumped with joy and cheered and joined the children's team.

Most of these children are from six to ten years old, which is the age of playing.

Soon the children became noisy and chased each other with snowballs. The quiet mountain village was full of children's laughter.

Zhang Man'er looks at the small faces that run in the snow, but are very happy.

If she had children, no one would look lonely.

"Third sister-in-law, here you are. Little stone, why don't you come to the house? " Yang Kexin came out.

She wore a bun and a cotton padded jacket, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of maternal brilliance. The pregnant woman was really different from before.

With a smile, Zhang Man'er followed her into the room. Charcoal was burning in the hall, and the room was warm as spring.

"Xue Yang, you don't rest on such a cold day." It's not a day without rest to do small wooden work every day.

The most wonderful thing about a snowy day is the family sitting in front of the fire basin, knocking melon seeds and chatting about home.

See outside eaves are covered with thick snow, although the snow stopped, but this snow will lead to the mountain road is not easy to walk, right? I don't know whether Xue Chuan and his family have arrived at the border, and whether the snow will be more severe there.

"Third sister-in-law, I have nothing to do at home. I always have to do some wood work and sweat." Xue Yang said with a smile.

It's good to do wood work. I'm sweating. I don't have to wear thick clothes.

It's not flexible to wear too many clothes.

Yang Kexin brought some preserved fruits and brown sugar water: "third sister-in-law, drink some brown sugar water to warm up your body. The weather is getting cold day by day. Seeing that the new year's pace is getting closer and closer, I don't know if the third brother has arrived at the border yet?"

It's been a good day. How did Xue Chuan think about going to war? They are far away from the capital. Fighting there should not have much influence.
