The two chatted casually while eating red soil sweet potatoes.

"Wife, we still have half a bag of sweet potatoes at home. I'll give some to mom later, and go visit Granny Zhao while we're at it."

"Okay, I'll pick out a few big ones and put them in the basket."

Li Mingqing helped Sun Jiaxue out of the house. When they reached the door, they saw a snowman that had been built and even had a hat and scarf on it.

An operation that will make your mother beat you.

His face was red from the cold and he took off his scarf to put on the snowman.

But a few people were very happy, children's happiness is so simple.

"Uncle, aunt, look at the snowman we made. It's exactly like the one in the textbook. Isn't it pretty?"

"It looks good. Go back to the house and warm up. Your ears are frozen off."

"We're not cold, not at all."

Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Here are some sweet potatoes. Each of you can pick one and take it home."

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen such a big sweet potato. It's as big as two of the sweet potatoes I have at home."

"Come on, pick one."

Da Niu, Er Niu and Xiang Nan each picked one.

"Xiangdong, take this to your grandma. My aunt and I won't go over."

The children returned to the old house happily.

A small path was cleared on the main street of the village, and everyone spontaneously cleaned the road in front of their doors.

Of course, there are also people who just sit there with their necks stiff waiting for the snow to melt.

There were only footprints, some deep and some shallow, at the entrance of Wu's house and Li Cuihua's house.

Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue came to Grandma Zhao's house.

Even the snow in front of the gate of Grandma Zhao, who had difficulty moving, was cleared to make a path.

"Grandma Zhao, what are you busy with at home?"

"Why are you here in the snow? Jiaxue is pregnant and shouldn't go out."

Sun Jiaxue smiled and said, "I'm wearing so much clothes, I'm almost like a ball."

Before going out, Li Mingqing wrapped her tightly around him.

It’s really not cold, it’s extremely warm.

"These are the sweet potatoes from home. I'll give you two to try."

"You two kids, I don't lack anything. Next time, don't send me food. Keep it for yourself. The baby will be born soon and I'll need money."

"Okay, I won't send you next time."

Grandma Zhao smiled and said, "You said the same thing last time. Even my own son can't compare to you."

"It's not that exaggerated. Come and take a look when you have free time."

The old man gave the bracelet he had kept in the bottom of the box to his wife. If they didn't come to check on her from time to time, wouldn't they be ungrateful?

She took out the millet porridge that had been saved at home.

A big ladle full.

"Grandma, what are you doing?"

"Millet porridge nourishes the stomach, and in the middle of winter, adding sweet potatoes to the porridge warms the body."

"We're here to see you, not to buy from you. Put it away quickly. We have everything we need at home. Keep it for yourself and don't be reluctant to eat it. I work at the supply and marketing cooperative and get a salary and food coupons. It would be a shame if I asked for your food again. Jiaxue and I just came to check on you. Wang Dazhu's house in the village collapsed under the snow. If you're worried, come over and take a walk."

"It collapsed? No one was hurt, was it?"

"He's fine. He's living in the City God Temple in front of the village."

Old Lady Li said, "I didn't sleep for a few hours last night. I stood in the yard with a stick and poked at it for half an hour. It's a good thing I did it, otherwise it would have collapsed too."

It was almost noon, and Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue walked home.

Wang Daguo is sweeping the snow in front of his own door by himself.

Li Cuihua's angry voice came from the yard.

"You're just free, aren't you? What's there to sweep? If you can't sweep it this afternoon, you can sweep it tomorrow. It seems you have energy but nowhere to use it. Is this a job for a grown man like you? Let Daya do it."

Then Wang Daya came out with a shovel to help.

Everyone should clean the snow in front of their own door and not worry about the frost on other people's roofs.

Don't worry too much about other people's affairs. Li Mingqing is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

And at the door of the Wu family, two streets away.

Wu Xiaoya was wearing slippers and sweeping the snow in front of the door with a broom that was much taller than her.

Zhou Xiaoshuang stood in front of the door with her hands on her hips.

"Sweep faster! Did you miss your meal or what? You can't even do this little job!"

"Mom, I—"

"What do you mean by 'you'? You were the one sweeping the snow in front of that old fool's door. I saw it all. Even though I'm your mother, I can't make you do any work!"

Old Mrs. Wu had originally wanted to come out to find Wu Daya for dinner, but when she heard this, she immediately left.

"Xiaoya, go back with grandma."

Before, Wu Liguo and Zhou Xiaoshuang vowed not to have children.

I thought of her while I was working.

Old Mrs. Wu threw the broom in her hand to the ground and pulled Wu Xiaoya back.

I have never seen a mother like this, she treats me like an enemy.

In such a cold day, directing a child to work in the snow, those who don’t know would think she is a stepmother.

Sun Jiaxue thought of her past self.

She took Li Mingqing's hand and said, "It's so cold, let's go home quickly."

"It's cold. It will be warm when you get home."

When they arrived at the door of the old house, they were dragged back to the house by Old Lady Li.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Cooked big bones at home, come and eat instead of going home to work."

"Is that the big bone that Third Brother brought back?"

"Yes, it will be ready soon."

Li Mingqing followed Mrs. Li to the kitchen and took out two sweet corns and a lotus root without anyone noticing.

"Mom, cut it up and put it in the pot to cook together."

"Be careful, kid. This isn't your home. I can't say anything about fresh corn in the middle of winter."

"It's okay, just say I brought it back from outside yesterday."
