Qingtian suddenly became happy and responded loudly: "Yes, I know, Mom, I will be back soon!"
In fact, for those who grew up outside the border, it is normal for children to go out and play in the snow.
When Mrs. Ye was a child, she would often come home covered in snow.
Although she loves Qingtian, she is not the kind of person who would tie her child tightly to her side and refuse to let go.
Children love to play by nature, and she was worried that Qingtian would be unable to let go because of his previous experience at Lao Shan's house!
Seeing that she was having fun, I didn't want to spoil her fun.
Seeing that Ye Dasao had returned from outside, Ye Sansao smiled and said, "People with daughters are different from us who have sons. They worry about everything. My two boys have been playing outside since they were young, and I have never worried about them."
Ye Juaner also said after hearing this: "That's right, my eldest was a girl, and I really worried about her every day at that time. But the two boys after that were completely free-range, and they were naughty to the extreme."
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Ye said, "Aunt, you've finally made it through. Both of your sons have secured their futures, and we're just getting started!"
“If you look ahead now, it feels like another ten years or so is too long.
“When you reach my age and look back, you’ll wonder how these ten years have flown by in a flash.
"Before, I felt that Xiang Lei was at home and I was always angry with him.
"But now Xiang Lei has gone to the capital to be an apprentice, and none of the three children are around. I feel empty inside every day.
"Why do you think I moved my things here to make clothes with you? It's because I don't want to face your uncle's old face at home every day!
"I really am fed up with seeing him every day. We can quarrel over the smallest things."
"My uncle always listens to you, so why are you still arguing?" Mrs. Ye San's face was full of curiosity.
"That's outside, pretending to be honest, but it's completely different at home.
"Like a stubborn donkey, he makes me angry every day.
"Besides, a couple has been living together for so many years, how can they not quarrel?"
"That's true. Usually, I'm busy with household chores and the children, so I don't notice it. But if the children are gone and it's just the two of us, there will definitely be quarrels." Ye Ersao said, "But it's better to avoid quarrels. Too much quarreling will hurt feelings. Aunt, if you don't like your uncle, just come to my house. You can work with us or chat with my mother. Just treat it like your own home."
"Well, to be honest, if it weren't for the New Year approaching, I would really want to go out and find a job.
"It's really boring to stay at home all day long."
Mrs. Ye said, “After the New Year, we’ll clean up and start farming. Then we won’t feel idle anymore.
"The winter here is shorter than outside the Great Wall. My wife has been eagerly waiting for the start of next spring to plant the crops."
"That's true. For someone like me, who doesn't know anything and doesn't know what to do outside, and with such a short time, it's really not easy to find a job."
"Aunt, now that the children have all been arranged, it would be great for you two old people to just stay home and farm!
"I've been busy for a year, I should take a break. Otherwise, if I exhaust myself, I'll just be asking for trouble!"
Ye Juaner listened to everyone talking and felt that what they said made sense, so she stopped dwelling on the matter.
After working in this room for a while, Old Mrs. Ye woke up from her nap. She came over and found Ye Juan'er here, so she sat down and chatted with her.
Ye Juaner told them a lot of stories about the families in the village, and the three sisters-in-law slowed down their work after listening to her.
After listening to the family gossip for a long time, Mrs. Ye suddenly remembered that she wondered whether Qingtian had returned.
She quickly got up and went out to take a look, and saw that the snow had already fallen up to her ankles.
Mrs. Ye became anxious. She was in the west room. If she came back on a sunny day, she would definitely go directly to the west room to find her instead of going back to her own room. Now the snow was so heavy, why hadn't the child come back yet?
She hurriedly waded through the snow to the backyard and saw a snowman built in the backyard that was taller than herself.
A dog's tail appeared next to the snowman.
Mrs. Ye quickly walked around the snowman and found that Qingtian might be tired from playing, and actually fell asleep in the snow behind the snowman, with a thick layer of snow on his body.
Xiao Ye lay beside her, pressing his body tightly against her, as if to keep her warm.
"How could this child fall asleep in the snow?" Mrs. Ye didn't care about anything else. She hurried forward, picked up Qingtian and walked back.
When everyone in the room saw Mrs. Ye carrying Qingtian, who was covered in snow, into the room, they all asked what was going on.
"Look at this kid. She was so tired from playing that she fell asleep in the snow. She didn't even notice she was covered in snow. She didn't even react when I brought her back!"
After saying this, Mrs. Ye angrily turned to Xiao Ye, who was following her, and said, "Usually, you always yell for help when there's something going on, but why didn't you come back and call for help today?"
Xiao Ye hung his head and murmured a few times, not knowing whether he understood or not.
"Hurry up and take off the child's outer clothes and let her get on the kang to warm up." Old Mrs. Ye said anxiously, "Have her hands and feet been frostbitten?"
Mrs. Ye glanced down and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I'm wearing cotton gloves and deerskin boots, so I should be fine."
"Then rub her quickly." Ye Juaner came over and saw Qingtian's red face. She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
She reached out and touched the child's forehead, and it was indeed hot.
It's not that he's red from the cold, it's that he has a fever.
