Xiao Lei felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the buzzing bees. He remembered being stung by bees when he was a mischievous child, and the stings were both itchy and painful.

“I don’t want to leave. Maybe I’ll poke it down with a stick and then we can cover our heads with our coats.”

Wei Yuyan thought that since the other parts of her body were also covered with such thick clothing, she shouldn't get stung.

"No, your hands can't really cover it. If you want the honey, I'll get it for you tomorrow. Go home now."

Wu Chen promised.

"real?".

Wei Yuyan looked at Wu Chen.

"Of course it's true."

Wu Chen nodded, already pondering his plan.

After returning home, I quickly washed and dried the medicinal herbs while there was still a little light.

"You dug up so much?"

Wei Yuhan also came over to take a look.

"Yes, we also need to divide it among those two older brothers and sisters-in-law."

Wei Yuyan gathered herbs to make chicken soup.

The next morning, Wei Yuyan discovered that Wu Chen was missing.

"Could they have gone to collect honey?"

Wei Yuyan thought of his leg and was a little worried that he might not be able to run fast enough and get bitten, which would be bad.

"What kind of honey?"

When the eldest sister heard Wei Yuyan muttering about honey, she asked her a question.

"No, I just want to eat honey."

Wei Yuyan smiled.

Fifteen minutes later, Wu Chen handed a cloth bag to Wei Yuyan.

"What's this?".

Wei Yuyan seemed to smell a sweet fragrance.

"Honey."

Wu Chen still held up the cloth bag, gesturing for Wei Yuyan to open it and take a look.

Wei Yuyan was surprised that Wu Chen brought the honey home so quickly. She took the cloth bag, opened it, and saw that it was a whole honey.

Be careful.

Wei Yuhan looked at the beehive, said those words, and ran up to the second floor.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Wei Yuyan found a large bowl and a rolling pin. She tapped the honeycomb with the rolling pin and it opened.

Honey started to leak out, and Wei Yuyan quickly caught it in a bowl.

The beehive wasn't very big, containing only about a pound of honey, but Wei Yuyan was already very happy.

"It's so sweet, would you like to try some?"

Wei Yuyan licked the honey that had dripped onto her hand; it tasted sweet.

He asked Wu Chen, who was sitting next to him, if he wanted to try some.

"No need."

Wu Chen felt a little itchy on his face.

"Hey, you got bitten on the face?"

Wei Yuyan walked over and saw that there was a red, swollen spot on Wu Chen's face, a little bigger than a mosquito bite.

"It might be a little itchy, but it's nothing to worry about. Just wash it with wood ash later."

Wu Chen was unimpressed; it wasn't like he hadn't been stung by bees before.

"It's all my fault. I should have made sure you were properly protected before you went."

Wei Yuyan immediately felt a little guilty. Some people would swell up badly after being stung by honey, while others would not.

"It's okay, I've been stung before."

Wu Chen shook his head. As long as Wei Yuyan was happy, he would sting her four or five times, let alone just one.

"Let me check for bee stings."

Wei Yuyan knew that when a bee stings someone, its stinger breaks off and needs to be pulled out, otherwise it will keep hurting.

He brought his face close to Wu Chen's and took a closer look. Wu Chen immediately stopped breathing heavily.

I felt a little nervous; I had never been so close to her before.

"The thorn is gone; you must have removed it."

Wei Yuyan didn't see the thorns on her face.

"Hey, I heard that wiping it with saliva can reduce swelling."

Seeing that everything was alright, Wei Yuhan carried Yueyue downstairs again. Upon hearing that she had been stung, she quickly offered a suggestion.

"Drooling? Forget it, it's not good. Let's wash it off with wood ash water instead."

After Wei Yuyan finished speaking, she took the honey back to the kitchen cabinet and went to get water for Wu Chen.

"It's so cold, sister-in-law~".

Xiao Lei and Qian Qian came back from playing outside and felt particularly cold.

"Come warm yourself by the fire, or you'll get frostbite."

Wei Yuyan set up a brazier in the kitchen. Since there was nothing else to do, everyone hid in the kitchen to warm themselves by the fire.

"Judging from this weather, it looks like it's going to snow in the next couple of days."

My brother-in-law brought Yueyue downstairs.

"Yes, it is. It's been quite cold these past few days."

Wu Chen nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"If it snows, will the steamed bun shop still have business?"

The older sister, Wei Yuhan, is worried that the business will be affected.

"It will likely be affected, and we'll have to reduce production, but we can't stop selling."

Wei Yuyan thought that the business still had to continue, otherwise she would lose the old customers she had maintained for so long.

My sister and brother-in-law nodded, somewhat worried that the steamed buns wouldn't sell out.

Ever since I started helping out at the steamed bun shop, I've worried about this problem every day, but except for special weather conditions, there's usually nothing left.

If there's heavy rain or strong winds, there will be a little left; if it snows, it might be halved.

"It's okay. There are only two weeks left in the year. If there's no business, we can just stay idle. We'll work harder next year."

Wei Yuyan is now flush with cash and has no worries whatsoever.

That night, a heavy snow quietly covered the entire village.

"Wow, it's snowing!"

As soon as Wei Yuyan opened the door and saw a vast expanse of white, she immediately cried out.

"Is it snowing?"

"It's snowing."

Xiao Lei and Qian Qian ran out wearing only their undershirts, their eyes shining.

"Go back and get dressed quickly, sister-in-law, go cook breakfast."

Wei Yuyan knew they were eager to have a snowball fight and wanted to eat their fill before playing.

"Yay!"

The children's laughter reached Wu Chen's ears, but he didn't find it noisy at all; instead, he felt a sense of warmth, a feeling he had missed for nearly two years.
