As I walked, the familiar building of the police station appeared before my eyes.
Officer Xiao Fan pushed open the door and walked into the hall. A warm atmosphere greeted him. He glanced back at the people around him and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm back. Let's get back to work. I'll go report to Officer Liu."
Everyone nodded without saying anything, just lowering their heads to tidy up their clothes.
Cheng Jiawen rubbed his frozen face. The weather had been good these days, with sunshine, so he didn't feel that cold. But today it suddenly became cloudy, and then it snowed heavily, causing the temperature to drop sharply. He had just walked back, and his face was frozen stiff.
He looked at the light snow still falling outside the door and felt a little worried about Xu Qianjiao.
She was in poor health because of falling into the water and couldn't catch a cold. Now the temperature dropped sharply and she wasn't wearing much clothes today. Besides, the station wasn't like their place where they could set up a charcoal brazier to keep warm.
He sat there thinking more and more worried. Suddenly, he walked up to Officer Liu and said, "Brother Liu, I want to go out for a while to bring some clothes to my wife."
Their work here is relatively free, and Officer Liu is not too strict with them. In cases like this, they usually just need to tell him.
Officer Liu nodded without looking up, completely immersed in the documents. "Okay, go ahead. Don't take too long."
"good."
After getting permission, Cheng Jiawen immediately rode his bicycle home.
-------------------------------------
On a bitterly cold winter day, heavy snow fluttered down, blanketing the sky and earth in a blanket of white, as if the entire world were shrouded in a blanket of silver. Inside the Xu family's house, Xu's mother gazed anxiously out the window at the snow-covered ground, thinking to herself, "This year's weather is truly unusual! It suddenly snowed so heavily today, and the temperature plummeted. What should we do if this continues? If it continues like this, won't spring planting be affected..."
Just as Xu's mother was feeling worried, she suddenly heard a slight noise in the yard—a "creak!" It was the sound of a door opening. She couldn't help but wonder who could be there in such a cold weather. She quickly got up and hurried to the door.
When she opened the door, she saw a figure appear in front of her. Mother Xu looked closely and exclaimed in surprise: "Jiawen? Why are you back?"
"Mom." Cheng Jiawen parked his bicycle at the door. "I came back to get Jiaojiao some clothes. The temperature dropped so much suddenly. I'm worried she'll catch a cold if she doesn't wear enough."
"Okay, so you still want to go back to work?"
"Yes, I'll go back to work after I deliver the clothes." Cheng Jiawen said as he went back to his room to get dressed, then took Xu Qianjiao's clothes and put them in the backpack. "Mom, I'm leaving first. I have to go back to work later, so I can't leave for too long."
"Okay." Xu's mother nodded.
-------------------------------------
Outside the station, the wind was biting cold, and the temperature plummeted, catching everyone off guard. Xu Qianjiao sat at the ticket counter, shivering. The biting wind lashed at her face mercilessly, threatening to tear her skin apart. The chilly air seeped into her body through her collar, sending shivers down her spine.
She hugged her arms tightly, trying to bring herself a little warmth in this way, but it was no use. Goose bumps still crawled all over her skin involuntarily, which was the body's most direct reaction to the cold.
"Ah Qiu~" A loud sneeze broke the silence, and Xu Qianjiao quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands. Afraid that this inappropriate sound would attract the attention of those around her, she quickly fumbled for a tissue in the drawer beside her and quickly wiped away the snot running from her nose. Then she let out a long sigh: "Phew, it's so cold..."
"If only I had a piece of thick clothing or a cup of hot cocoa, it would be great. It's so cold and uncomfortable." Xu Qianjiao sat on the counter, silently looking forward to it.
She sat for a while and said, "Oh, I can't take it anymore. Let me get a cup of hot water. It's so cold." She took out the 'temporarily suspended service' sign from the drawer and placed it on the table. She picked up the cup and prepared to go to the cafeteria to get some hot water.
When she passed by the station hall, she suddenly heard a group of people chatting there. She didn't pay attention and just listened to a few words.
"Oh, you said the weather, why is it so abnormal this year?"
"Yeah, it's strange. At this time of year in previous years, the temperature would have warmed up long ago, and spring planting would have already started."
"Yes, with the weather like this this year, what should we do for spring planting? What should we do next year?" As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone fell silent, with sad expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, an older woman looked around furtively, then whispered to everyone, "I heard the weather's so abnormal this year is because of some people up there who did something wrong, and now they're paying it forward."
