"Mom, don't worry about that brat. With his clever and mischievous nature, I don't think you need to worry about him." Zhao Hongmei knew her nephew well. From childhood to adulthood, he had gotten everything he wanted. Now that he had finally found someone he liked and they were even at the point of discussing marriage, she was not going to let him run away.
"It's getting late, I'll go cook dinner first. It didn't snow today, I'll have Haoshi go to Huanhuan's house later and shovel the snow off the roof."
After lunch, Ruan Ruan gave Huo Haoshi the suit he wore at his wedding, and then took Li Huan's suit with Huo Yue and Huo Haoshi, and went to the Li family home.
The three siblings felt cold from the moment they left the courtyard, even though it wasn't snowing and the wind was blowing. Even though they were wearing gloves and hats, they still felt cold. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't seen Li Huan for so long, Ruan Ruan would have immediately turned back home.
So now, the three of them walking on the road formed a triangle. Huo Haoshi carried his clothes in front, blocking most of the wind, while Ruan Ruan and Huo Yue hid behind him, pulling on his clothes, and slowly walked towards the Li family with their bodies bent over.
As they approached the Li family's house, Li Huan was sweeping the snow off the roadside outside the yard. When she saw Huo Haoshi approaching from afar, she didn't see the face behind him at first and thought Huo Haoshi had been kidnapped. She grabbed a broom and rushed towards them.
"I'll kill you two robbers!" Li Huan had already rushed up to them, but neither of them noticed. They only heard her shout this, and then Huo Haoshi took a step to the side, blocking Li Huan's path, and grabbed the broom she was holding above her head with both hands.
"Huanhuan, Huanhuan, calm down, calm down, they are Ruan Ruan and Huo Yue, not robbers."
As he moved, Ruan Ruan and Huo Yue straightened up, and when they heard his words, they stared at the two who were still holding hands.
At this moment, Li Huan finally saw the two of them clearly, let go of the broom in his hand, realized he had made a fool of himself, and said a little embarrassedly, "It's you two? What are you doing hiding behind Brother Haoshi for no reason?"
"Uh... I just wanted to see if you could recognize me." For a moment, she thought of the times they played hide-and-seek when they were little, so she said it casually. She couldn't say it because the wind was too strong, and we used your man to shield us from the wind, right?
"Oh, Ruan Ruan, I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you at all. When did you get back?" Hearing her words, Li Huan felt a pang of sadness. Her friend must have come back to tell her about her upcoming marriage to the Huo family, but she didn't recognize her. She really wasn't a good best friend.
"It's nothing, we were just joking. I came back yesterday afternoon, and you were carrying a broom. What were you planning to do?"
Ruan Ruan didn't want to continue the topic, so she pulled her along as they walked home, asking what she was doing. In such cold weather, why was she carrying a broom? She couldn't think of any other answer besides shoveling snow.
“There was snow all over the roadside. I was worried that if Grandma wanted to go out, she might slip and fall, so I wanted to sweep the snow away.”
"Let Haoshi handle these matters. Come on, it's been so long since we last met. Let's go inside and see what good things I brought back for you."
As she spoke, she stepped forward, took the bag that Huo Hao was carrying, and pulled Huo Yue and Li Huan into the house.
"Grandma Li, I'm back to see you!" As soon as Ruan Ruan entered the house, she saw Grandma Li standing there, probably walking towards her.
"Ruan girl is back! When did you arrive? You look great, Haocheng must have taken good care of you!" Hearing the sounds in the courtyard, she was about to go out to see what was going on, but as soon as she got up, she saw them come in. It turned out that the girl had returned. She had been gone a little longer than when she left, which was good.
"Grandma Li, I came back yesterday afternoon, hehe. I didn't have many close friends over there. When I had nothing to do, I would go hunting in the mountains with Haocheng and my brother. Maybe that's how I got used to it."
"It's good to get some exercise. You girls can chat by yourselves. I'm a little tired, I'm going to lie down for a while." With that, she left the girls alone and went back to her room to get some sleep.
After seeing her grandmother enter the house, Li Huan led them into her own room. Since she got engaged to Huo Haoshi this year, he had openly sent a lot of firewood to their family, so she had kept the kang (heated brick bed) in the house warm and cozy.
Once inside, Ruan Ruan immediately opened the bag in her hand and took out the clothes. "Take a look, this is the wedding dress I made for you. Try it on and see if it fits."
"Wow, Ruan Ruan, your dress is so beautiful! I want one too!" Huo Yue had only seen Huo Haoshi's dress at home, and she thought it was alright. But now that she saw Li Huan's dress, she really loved it.
Don't worry, you'll get your share.
"Ruan Ruan, this dress is so beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful dress before!" Li Huan was stunned when she unfolded the dress. It was truly stunning. She never expected that she would bring her a wedding dress from so far away. She was immediately moved to tears.
"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal. Try it on and see if it fits. I made it based on your previous figure. You haven't gained weight recently, have you?"
"No way! I promised I'd be a beautiful bride, and I've been very careful lately." During this time, Huo Hao would occasionally bring her meat, sometimes pheasant, sometimes fish. If she hadn't been so self-disciplined and controlled herself well, she would have been fattened up by him.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and put it on, let us have a good look." Huo Yue took the clothes from Ruan Ruan's hands and stuffed them into her hands, telling her to change quickly. She and Ruan Ruan then left.
A few minutes later, when Li Huan came out again after changing her clothes, she really amazed them. Li Huan already had the kind of face that makes you feel like a first love, and she was nearly 1.7 meters tall. Now, standing there in a formal dress, she made them stare in amazement.
"Wow... Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful!" Huo Yue was stunned for two seconds before letting out a scream, which immediately woke up Huo Haoshi, who was sweeping snow outside, and Grandma Li, who was sleeping inside.
When they saw Li Huan dressed in her wedding attire, they were immediately captivated by her beauty.
"Huanhuan, you look really good in this," Huo Haoshi stammered, staring intently at the person in front of him. In three more days, he could take her home.
Hearing his words, Li Huan was at a loss for words. Her face turned red, and she ignored him, turned around and went into the house. She closed the door and changed her clothes amidst Huo Yue and Ruan Ruan's chattering. She folded them carefully and placed them on the bed.
Seeing that Grandma Li had also gotten up, they didn't want to go back to Li Huan's room, and Huo Haoshi was also there, so they sat in the main room and chatted.
Seeing that it was almost time, the three siblings hurried home, unlike when they came, because they were afraid that if they weren't careful, they might actually be mistaken for robbers and arrested.
