Time flies. In a blink of an eye, it is already the end of the year and the Chinese New Year is just a dozen days away.
Since everyone had already exceeded the coal mining task, Zhou Bin also gave everyone a holiday so that everyone could prepare for the New Year early.
That morning, Zhou Bin woke up and found that the sky and the earth had turned white and it was snowing.
He quickly put on a thick cotton jacket, cotton shoes, a cotton hat, and walked into the yard.
All I saw was a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth, with heavy snow falling from the sky.
The mountains in the distance have turned white, and there is a chill in the air.
The yard had been swept. He pushed open the door and saw his father sweeping the road outside.
"Dad, are you cold? Come in and warm yourself by the fire." Zhou Bin greeted.
Zhou Jianming put down the broom, rubbed his red hands, and said with a smile: "I'm not cold, but my hands are a little painful from the cold."
Zhou Bin went over and took the broom, saying, "Go inside and warm up, I'll sweep the floor for us."
Zhou Jianming handed the broom to his son and went into the house with a smile.
As he walked, he said, "It snowed so heavily today! I'm sure it will be a bumper year next year."
Zhou Bin picked up the broom and swept a few times, and felt so cold that he was shivering all over. It turned out that the wind was blowing.
After a while, the biting north wind began to howl, and the snow in the air began to float everywhere, making people unable to open their eyes.
Zhou Bin found that sweeping the floor was no longer effective at this time, because as soon as you swept the road clean, a gust of wind blew and the ground was immediately covered with heavy snow.
Zhou Bin shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, I won't sweep anymore, let's go home."
At this time, Zhou Jianming also came out. He came to call Zhou Bin: "Binbin, stop sweeping. I think it's going to snow. Come back to the house quickly."
Zhou Bin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be back."
After a while, the sky became darker, the wind blew stronger, the sky and the earth became blurry, and it was almost impossible to see anything.
After returning to the house and warming himself by the fire for a while, Zhou Bin's hands finally regained feeling.
He glanced casually into the yard and found that Dahuang and Dabai were huddled in the doghouse, looking particularly cold.
It turned out that a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the doghouse, and one side was collapsed.
He hurried over to check the situation and found that there was a leak in the doghouse and it was blowing loudly.
"Oh, Dabai, Dahuang, I'm sorry! You see your nests have collapsed, I have to build a new one for you." Zhou Bin said apologetically.
Although Dahuang and Dabai were shivering with cold, when they saw Zhou Bin coming, they still came up to him happily, wagging their tails and looking very affectionate.
At this time, Li Nan also came out of the house. When he saw the scenery outside, he immediately exclaimed: "It's snowing!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Please wear thicker clothes. The weather is very cold."
Li Nan asked curiously, "Brother Bin, what are you doing there?"
Zhou Bin pointed at the doghouse and said, "Look, Da Huang and Da Bai's doghouses have collapsed. I have to build them a new one."
Li Nan took one look and said, "Oh, it really is. It's snowing so heavily, how are you going to build a doghouse for them?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I don't need bricks and tiles. I'll build them a wooden doghouse."
Xiaohua was on vacation and was sleeping at the time. When she heard her father's words, she jumped up.
She shouted, "Dad, I want to help Dahuang and Dabai build a doghouse, too."
Zhou Bin smiled and agreed: "Okay, put on some thicker clothes, I'll go find something first."
Then he found some old wooden boards and started drawing on them with pencils.
Dahuang and Dabai ran over with curious eyes to see what their owner was doing.
Xiaohua also came over and saw her father drawing on the wooden board. She asked curiously, "Dad, what are you drawing on it?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I'll design a better doghouse for Da Huang and Da Bai, so they won't be cold."
After a short while, he finished the drawing, and then you picked up the saw to cut off the excess parts, and the several wall panels of the doghouse were completed.
Then he found nails and nailed several wooden boards together, making a roof on top and a floor underneath.
After finishing the nailing, Zhou Bin called his father to help move the wooden house he had built to a sheltered place in the yard.
Then he grabbed some straw and spread it on the floor, covered the roof with straw, and put tiles on it, and a wooden doghouse was made.
Dahuang and Dabai were jumping around excitedly, waiting for the doghouse to be ready.
Zhou Bin laughed and shouted, "Da Huang, Da Bai, go in and try to see if it's warm enough."
Da Huang used his mouth to nudge Da Bai, meaning to let it go in first. Da Bai didn't hesitate and went in, immediately shouting with joy.
Dahuang also came in, wagging his tail. The two dogs lay comfortably on the straw, purring with satisfaction.
Even though Xiao Hua's face was red from the cold, she shouted happily, "Oh! Da Huang and Da Bai have a new home!"
At this time, the wind was blowing harder and the snow was falling heavier.
Zhou Bin quickly closed the small wooden door on the doghouse for them so that the wind could not get in.
He pulled Xiaohua into the house hurriedly. Although it was freezing cold outside, the stove in the house was burning brightly, and a breeze of warm air blew towards them.
Zhou Bin took Xiaohua's hand and walked to the stove, asking her to warm up quickly.
Xiaohua's face suddenly turned red, and she was full of happiness: "Dad, our stove is so warm!"
