As autumn turns to winter, the first snow in the northwest falls suddenly and quickly.

The white snow was blown wildly by the biting north wind, and the gray Dong'an City turned snow-white overnight.

Since the beginning of winter, a steady stream of people have been fleeing into the city.

Now that the snow has fallen, the number of people fleeing in panic has decreased a lot.

It was freezing outside, but the charcoal stove inside was warm and comfortable.

Li Nian's belly was already showing, and with the heavy snow outside, she didn't like going out to begin with, and now she hardly even left the house.

Under Li Nian's guidance, Xiaoying can already recognize some words and is currently practicing her name at the table in the room.

The rattan chair that was originally placed in the yard was moved into the house and covered with a soft velvet blanket. Li Nian nestled comfortably in it, with Bai Bai lying next to her.

"Knock knock knock" There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Aunt Pei's voice: "Niannian, it's me."

When Xiaoying heard the sound, she immediately put down her book and went to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong wind blew in, carrying snowflakes. Aunt Pei felt the warm air blowing on her face and quickly turned around and closed the door tightly.

She stamped the snow stains on her feet and complained, "Oh, God, it snowed so heavily without any warning. It's impossible for people to go out."

She stood at the door and cleaned off most of the snow left on her body before continuing to walk inside.

His eyes noticed Li Nian's belly and he said with concern, "Niannian, you are already pregnant now, so you must be careful. The snow outside is thick and the roads are slippery. Don't go out. What if you fall?"

Li Nian stood up from the rattan chair, put on her shoes, and responded obediently: "I know, Auntie."

Aunt Pei walked to the table, opened the bundle in her arms, and took out two hats, two scarves, and two pairs of gloves. She smiled warmly and said, "I made these for you and Sisi myself. Try them on and see if they fit you well."

She enthusiastically picked up the hat and put it on Li Nian, saying, "Winter is coming, and the New Year won't be far away. The city will be full of fireworks and lanterns, and you'll definitely want to go out and join in the fun. So, you and Sisi should wear these before you go out to avoid getting cold."

Li Nian obediently let Aunt Pei help her. The hat and gloves were specially sewn with fluff inside, which was soft and warm. The color was bright red, which looked very bright and beautiful.

Her eyes were full of joy, as if they were hiding scorching stars as she looked at Aunt Pei. Her voice was sweet and sweet: "Thank you, Auntie, your craftsmanship is really good. It's warm and beautiful. It's freezing outside, and you still specially sent it here."

Aunt Pei smiled and waved her hand: "Hey, it's just a few steps away. Why are you being so polite to me? As long as you and your child are safe and healthy, I'm relieved."

Li Nian took off her gloves and hat and asked Xiaoying to put them away.

She turned around and happily took Aunt Pei's hand and sat down. She took the kettle from the stove next to her and skillfully made a cup of tea for Aunt Pei with her slender white fingers.

She said happily, "Auntie, don't go back at noon. Yu Niang has been learning to cook Nanjiang cuisine recently, and her cooking skills are getting better and better. You should stay and try it."

Aunt Pei watched her smooth movements, and even just watching her was a pleasure, not to mention drinking.

"Then I'm in for a treat today." She didn't refuse and took the teacup handed to her by Li Nian with a smile on her face. "By the way, has Sisi also been having lunch at the government office at noon like Yanli recently?"

Li Nian couldn't drink tea now, so she poured herself a glass of boiled water and replied, "Yes, the government office has been busy lately, and the city gates are under martial law. Everyone entering the city must be checked to prevent spies from sneaking in. Now she can only come back in the evening for dinner."

Aunt Pei blew away the steam rising from her tea. "I also heard from Yanli that the government office is very busy. Sisi must be just as busy as Yanli."

The tea was still hot, so Aunt Pei put it on the table for the time being. She looked at Li Nian with a concerned look and carefully reminded her, "She goes out early and comes back late every day, so how can she take care of you? If you feel unwell, ask Xiaoying to come to my house to find me. Don't carry it yourself."

Li Nian curved her lips in response: "Well, don't worry, Yuniang and Xiaoying are at home, nothing will happen."

Since they came to Dong'an City, they have received a lot of kindness from Aunt Pei and her family. If they had not met Aunt Pei and her family, she and Sisi would not have such an easy and stable life as they do now.

Li Nian was extremely grateful to Aunt Pei.

Aunt Pei smiled and nodded: "That's good, then I feel relieved!"

Yu Niang prepared lunch and brought it into the house.

As modern people, their family does not care about social status. They usually eat at the same table for convenience and liveliness.

The square table in the room can just seat four people.

Aunt Pei was not in a hurry to leave after lunch. She chatted with Li Nian about big and small things like cheating on one family and fighting on another. She could talk for half a day alone. Although Li Nian didn't like going out, she loved listening to gossip!

So he listened quietly to what Aunt Pei said, occasionally interrupting with a few words to express his own views. The two of them chatted like this for the whole afternoon.

It wasn't until the sky grew darker that Aunt Pei finally said, "Aiya!" "It's getting late. I have to go back and make dinner."

Aunt Pei stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing Li Nian also standing up, she hurriedly held her back and said, "Oh, don't see me off. It's cold outside. Don't let yourself get cold."

Li Nian said honestly, "Auntie, I'll go close the door."

Xiaoying was helping Yu Niang in the kitchen at the moment. There was only her, Aunt Pei, and Baibai who was taking a nap in the room.
