He didn't hide anything and told the truth directly. Xu's father and mother also knew what he was doing. He was very relaxed in this family and didn't hide anything from them. He also believed that Xu's father and mother knew their limits and would not tell anyone.
In fact, Xu's father and mother did this. They would help him cover up in front of outsiders and fill in any loopholes he made carelessly.
When Xu's mother heard this, she immediately said with concern: "You only ate steamed bread? How can that be? It has no nutrition. You do manual labor, how can you only eat steamed bread?"
She thought about it and immediately made the decision: "How about this? You bring your own lunch every day, and at noon, you can just find a place to heat up the food and eat it. Is that okay?"
Cheng Jiawen looked up at Xu's mother and said, "Mom, this is too much trouble for you. It's so early in the morning and I still want you to cook."
"Well, what's the trouble? It's the slack season and I don't have anything to do, so let's just decide it." Xu's mother said indifferently, she had already secretly planned what to eat tomorrow.
Cheng Jiawen nodded with emotion, "Okay, thank you, Mom."
Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Xu Qianjiao suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow."
"Huh? You're taking a break after only two days of work?" Father Xu looked at her in confusion. They knew that Xu Qianjiao had four days of rest every month, but they didn't expect that she would take a break after only two days of work.
Xu Qianjiao waved her hand. "Well, it's just a matter of scheduling. Everyone wants to take a break at the end of the month to go shopping, but I don't need to, so I just randomly scheduled it."
Xu's mother nodded. "That's right. People in the city always grab things at the end of the month. We don't need that, so it's good to do a favor."
"That's right. I finally don't have to get up early tomorrow. That's great." Xu Qianjiao said excitedly, "I must sleep until I wake up naturally tomorrow."
Xu's mother rolled her eyes at her and reminded her, "Didn't you say you were going to visit 'Sister Huang'? Why not go tomorrow? Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so it wouldn't be out of place to visit."
"Well, I can't sleep in again." Xu Qianjiao pouted and said dejectedly.
"Sleeping in, sleeping in, thinking about sleeping in every day, how could I give birth to such a lazy girl like you." Xu's mother complained unhappily.
Cheng Jiawen smiled faintly, touched Xu Qianjiao's head and comforted her: "It's okay, we can come back early and have a good nap."
"Yeah." Xu Qianjiao nodded in agreement.
-------------------------------------
The next morning, snowflakes drifted from the sky, falling in large flakes, covering the ground with a layer of pure white gauze. Snowflakes landed gently on roofs and tree branches, and the whole world seemed to have turned into a fairy tale world covered in silver.
On this cold winter day, the sun struggled to peek through the clouds. The sunlight shone through the thin clouds and onto the snow, forming golden streaks. This tiny bit of sunlight brought a touch of warmth to the cold winter day.
Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen snuggled in bed and looked out the window. "It snowed heavily again last night."
Cheng Jiawen hugged Xu Qianjiao from behind and covered her back with a blanket. "Yes, the weather is getting colder. It's already February, and the weather is still so cold. This winter is hard to endure."
Yes, this year there was heavy snow and the temperature was much colder than in previous years. Many poor families braved the snow to collect more firewood. Cheng Jiawen had bought a batch of coal for their family before, and together with the firewood they had collected before, it was enough to get through the winter.
So they did not risk going into the mountains to collect firewood.
Xu Qianjiao leaned against Cheng Jiawen's chest and said, "Those people in the cowshed only have a few thin blankets. How are they going to survive this winter?"
Xu Qianjiao's casual sigh made both of them fall into silence. Although they knew about this matter, they did not intend to take any action.
People are selfish, and they will not put themselves in danger to help others, so feeling sorry for them is just feeling sorry for them. Whether you call them selfish or cold-blooded, they just want to protect themselves and not put themselves in danger.
"Forget it, don't think about it. Get up, we still have to visit Sister Huang." Cheng Jiawen touched Xu Qianjiao's head and said casually.
"good."
The two changed their clothes, took some agricultural products prepared by Xu's mother, and rode their bicycles to Sister Huang's house.
The gift that Xu's mother prepared for Sister Huang was not very expensive, but it was thoughtful enough. It included bacon and sausages they had made before, as well as dried mushrooms and some sweet potato noodles they had made before.
The gifts were not expensive, just some agricultural products from the countryside. They were all city people and leaders, so they had seen all kinds of good things. They took out what they thought were the best things, which were just ordinary things to them.
So it is better to prepare some agricultural products carefully according to your ability.
Xu Qianjiao sat on the back of the bicycle and rode out with Cheng Jiawen.
On the village roads, children, dressed in thick clothes, played in the snow, having snowball fights and building snowmen, their laughter filling the air. Adults quietly admired the beautiful snowy scene, eating sunflower seeds and chatting with those around them.
The snowflakes are still falling and the sun is trying hard to emit light. All of this constitutes a peaceful and beautiful picture that makes people intoxicated and forget all worries.

They followed the address and found where Sister Huang lived.
