However, given the current road conditions, she couldn't help but worry about Sheng Zhiyuan's car. But since it was only the first day of snowfall and the roads weren't icy and slippery yet, she could still relax a little.

However, the howling north wind carried the sound in. Jian Dan frowned, glanced at the two children's old cotton-padded jackets by the kang (a heated brick bed), suddenly slapped his forehead, and said he had forgotten something. He immediately got out of bed and put on his shoes.

"Xiao Rui, come on, let's go get our cotton-padded coats, I completely forgot."

"ah?"

Cheng Rui glanced at the heavy snow outside, then quickly got out of bed.

"Okay, sister, I'll go get the basket."

Put on your overcoat and hat, it's snowing outside.

Cheng An followed him down to the ground, sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looked at the simple armor, and gave him some instructions.

"Sister, do you have those cotton shoes with uppers? Wear those! It's snowing so heavily outside, the snow will just get so thick that it'll fill your shoes."

Where's the cotton hand warmer?

Following the two children's instructions, I simply wrapped myself up like a ball.

"Alright, let's go, I'll start sweating soon."

She couldn't say anything. The two children were like housekeepers now, watching over her so meticulously. She wasn't cold, nor did she want to argue with them. She might as well just go along with their wishes and put their minds at ease.

"Xiao An, don't do anything, just rest. We'll be back in a bit."

The two sisters carried baskets on their backs and braved the snow to go out.

Snowfall is different from rain, as people in Northeast China especially understand. Heavy snowfall is a source of joy for many children, and Cheng Rui, being a child himself, naturally had the same desire to play.

Back in the Northwest, he was always out and about. Now, he's like a little adult, spending all his time doing this and that around Jian Dan, as if he were taking care of the injured Cheng An, suppressing his own little interest deep down.

Jian Dan could easily see the excitement in his eyes when he first saw the snow.

I knew in my heart that this child had been holding back for a long time, and now that he's out here, he's really letting loose.

To be honest, it's a little heartbreaking to see a child suddenly become sensible and grow up; it's all because of the pressure they're under.

Before you know it, the child is already rolling around in the snow, and you can tell from the clear laughter that he's in a great mood.

Jian Dan secretly blamed herself, realizing she hadn't paid enough attention to the child lately. He was so sensible that she had really treated him like a little adult, completely ignoring the fact that he was just over ten years old, with his parents away, his younger brother injured, and himself clearly heartbroken but trying his best to hold on.
