When Xu Qianjiao heard that they could go to the city to play, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She jumped up excitedly and took Cheng Jiawen's hand, chattering, "Really? Really? Are you really going to take me to the city to play?"
Seeing her so happy, Cheng Jiawen wanted to tease her and said seriously, "It's fake."
The smile on Xu Qianjiao's face immediately fell. She shook off Cheng Jiawen's hand, pouted her lips and said with a look of grievance: "Tsk, you lied to me again."
Seeing her pouting lips so tight that they could hold a bottle of wine, he smiled helplessly, reached out and touched her head to soothe her emotions, with a faint smile on his lips, "I'm kidding, I'll take you there, I'll take you there, get ready, we'll leave right away."
"I don't believe you." Xu Qianjiao still pouted and said aggrievedly.
"Hahaha." Seeing her childish temper, Cheng Jiawen really couldn't help it. "Look at your pouting lips. You can hang a bottle of wine on them. Can I lie to you? Do I dare to lie to you? Hahaha."
Xu Qianjiao stared at him eagerly, "Are you really taking me there?"
"Really, really, go pack up quickly, we'll leave right away, okay?" Cheng Jiawen nodded with a smile and said seriously.
Xu Qianjiao immediately became excited, "Yeah, that's great, I'm going to go to the state-owned restaurant to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."
"Okay, okay, go pack up quickly, we'll leave right away." Cheng Jiawen stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead, saying with a doting look on his face.
"Yeah." Xu Qianjiao looked excited and skipped back to her room to change into her beautiful clothes, apply clam oil, and tie her hair up again.
"I'm fine, let's go." Xu Qian stood in front of Cheng Jiawen with a charming look. Cheng Jiawen put on the backpack and said, "Let's go."
-------------------------------------
Today, the two were not so lucky. They didn't meet anyone along the way, nor did they see any ox carts. They could only walk to the city.
The weather today was not very good, with a biting cold wind. Although there was a faint sun, the cold wind still cut through their cheeks like a sharp knife. Xu Qianjiao and the others were wrapped tightly in thick clothes and walked with difficulty on the frozen road.
Their breath formed wisps of white mist in the cold air, which then dissipated without a trace in an instant.
Cheng Jiawen looked at Xu Qianjiao, whose face was pale from the cold, and felt a little distressed: "Why don't we go back? It's too cold today."
"No, we're already halfway there." Xu Qianjiao shook her head firmly. She didn't want to go home. It was too boring at home. She had finally come out to play today. Besides, she was already halfway there. If she went back now, wouldn't all the cold weather ahead be in vain?
She didn't want to. "Besides, it's still early. It won't be so cold later when the sun is bigger."
Seeing that she was determined to get to the city, Cheng Jiawen had no choice but to pull her scarf to block the cold wind, then reached out and held her hand tightly, and the two continued to walk towards the city.
An hour passed, the sun gradually disappeared, and the sky became gloomy and gray, as if covered by a heavy curtain. The wind whistled, lifting the corners of their clothes from time to time, making people shiver.
The streets were deserted, with only the occasional car passing by, bringing with it a biting cold wind.
Once inside the city, Xu Qianjiao and the others let go of each other's hands and walked side by side, their bodies occasionally bumping into each other, trying to gain a little warmth. However, the cold seemed to penetrate every pore, penetrating through layers of clothing and gradually making their hands and feet lose feeling.
Cheng Jiawen looked at Xu Qianjiao's face which was a little pale from the cold, and couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. Why did he suddenly bring her to the city? In this horrible weather, her face was so pale from the cold.
"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat something and warm up. You look a little pale." Cheng Jiawen quietly pulled Xu Qianjiao's hand and found that her hands were red and stiff from the cold.
Xu Qianjiao was excited, "Okay, okay, let's go."
She was very happy to be in the city. Although there was nothing fun in the city, it was still better than home. It was because home was too boring and she had nothing to do except sleeping.
Today, she has to go to the scrap collection station. She also wants to buy some books to read, otherwise she will have nothing to pass the time.
The two of them went to a state-owned restaurant first. After drinking a bowl of soup, Xu Qianjiao's complexion looked much better, no longer pale, and her body gradually warmed up.
Cheng Jiawen finally felt relieved. The two of them sat in the state-owned restaurant and ate slowly. Cheng Jiawen looked out the window at the weather and said calmly, "Are there any places you want to go later? We have to go back early today. The weather doesn't look good."
While eating, Xu Qianjiao said, "I want to go to the scrap yard to find some books to read. I'm too bored at home, and I want to find something to kill time."
"Okay, let's go after dinner."
-------------------------------------
After lunch, the two walked out onto the street again. The cold weather made them shiver. The sky was gray, as if covered by a thick layer of fog.
The cold wind howled, shaking the branches and making them creak. Pedestrians on the road were wrapped in thick cotton clothes and walked hurriedly, as if trying to escape the cold weather as quickly as possible. The air was filled with a dull atmosphere, making people feel depressed.
In such weather, the sun has lost its former warmth, and only a faint ray of light occasionally appears behind the clouds. Fine snowflakes are floating in the sky, falling down one after another, covering the earth with a thin layer of silver.
