The first snowfall in Yulin City this year unexpectedly lasted a long time, lasting all night.
When Pei Xi woke up in the morning, the snow had stopped, and everything outside was covered with a layer of snow, so beautiful it was almost blinding.
She quickly washed up, changed her clothes, grabbed her schoolbag, and went downstairs.
As soon as I walked down the stairs, I smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen.
As Pei Xi walked, he asked, "Aunt Li, what did you eat this morning...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stopped when she saw the figure standing in the kitchen.
Hearing her voice, Pei Ruoyun turned around and walked to the dining table with two bowls in her hands. "You're down? Come and eat."
Pei Xi didn't react for a moment, standing there blankly, almost thinking it was his own hallucination.
Two seconds later, she walked over and found that the bowl on the table contained clear soup noodles.
A few drops of oil floated on the clear soup surface, along with finely chopped tender green scallions, and steam rose gently.
Seeing Pei Xi sit down, Pei Ruoyun stood to the side and said gently, "I can't remember how many years it's been since I last cooked this. My skills are a bit rusty. Please make do with this."
Pei Xi paused for a moment, holding her chopsticks. From childhood to adulthood, she had eaten very few meals cooked by Pei Ruoyun herself.
She couldn't remember when it was last time.
"Where's your brother?" Pei Ruoyun had just asked when footsteps came from the stairwell.
Pei Zhi, still half asleep, staggered down the stairs, wearing his school uniform jacket. His hair was unkempt, with a single strand sticking up on top.
Upon seeing the two people at the dining table, he suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
"Come and eat."
Pei Ruoyun waved to him.
Pei Zhi walked over, a little confused, and then sat down opposite Pei Xi.
The two picked up their chopsticks and took a bite of the noodles in their bowls.
"Is it delicious?" Pei Ruoyun asked, looking at them.
The two exchanged a glance, and a moment of silence fell over the table.
"Can I tell the truth..." Pei Zhi suddenly asked.
Pei Ruoyun nodded.
Pei Xi gave him a wink, about to stop him, when Pei Zhi said, "Like dishwater."
Pei Xi: "".
Pei Ruoyun: "."
Pei Zhi continued bluntly, "Mom, you're not suited for the kitchen. You should leave it to Aunt Li from now on."
Pei Ruoyun: "."
Who did he get this straightforward and ruthless personality from?
Because the noodles were too hard to swallow, the siblings eventually changed their breakfast to bread from the school's small supermarket.
After quickly tidying up, the two went to school. Because the roads were slippery due to the snow, Pei Ruoyun personally drove them there.
They soon arrived at the school gate. Pei Ruoyun turned to the two people in the back seat and said, "My flight is at noon. I'll go straight to the airport in a bit."
"Take care of yourself. If anything happens, let me know immediately, okay?"
Pei Xi nodded and replied sweetly, "Don't worry, Mom."
Pei Zhi nodded slightly and let out a soft "hmm" in his throat.
Just as she was about to open the car door and get out, with her hand on the switch, Pei Ruoyun suddenly spoke up: "By the way, I... I'll take you out to play when you have your winter vacation. Before that, you can take a look and see where you want to go."
Pei Zhi paused, subconsciously exchanging a glance with Pei Xi, and saw the surprise and joy in her eyes.
Then he nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Cheng could see the expensive car by the roadside from a great distance.
And there's that sophisticated and capable woman in the driver's seat.
He had seen her photo online when he last sent the email; she was a very famous businesswoman and Pei Xi's mother.
From the side window, you can see Pei Xi sitting in the back seat, laughing and talking, looking very happy.
The car door moved slightly, and Jiang Cheng immediately looked away, put his hands in his pockets, strode into the gate, and walked towards the teaching building.
The school cleared the snow from the main road, but the playground was still covered in a vast expanse of white, and many mischievous students had already wandered in, leaving several rows of footprints.
The school's playground is very large, and the school's workers are working hard to clear out a running track to avoid delaying the students' physical education classes.
Physical education classes on snowy days are more appealing than usual, and areas without snow removal become a paradise for students.
Pei Xi's class was lucky; their fourth period in the morning was physical education.
During free time, someone started throwing snowballs haphazardly into the air, and everyone had a fun snowball fight.
Pei Xi didn't join in; he and Shen Miaoyi quietly sculpted a small snowman on the side.
Pei Xi made two snowballs the size of a palm without wearing gloves, and his palms turned bright red from the cold.
She was so cold that she felt her fingers were more important, so she symbolically pinched them a few times, leaving behind only a messy, defective product with no nose or eyes.
"Miaomiao, I think this is great, it leaves room for people's imagination."
Pei Xi rubbed his hands together while spouting nonsense with a straight face.
Shen Miaoyi was amused by her and knew that she couldn't stand the cold, so she grabbed her arm and stood up. "It's too cold outside, why don't we go back?"
Pei Xi nodded in agreement.
As the two walked to the entrance of the teaching building, they suddenly ran into He Zan, who was passing on a message from the chemistry teacher, saying that the teacher wanted Pei Xi to go to the office to see her.
Pei Xi was the chemistry teacher's favorite student and also the chemistry class representative. Whenever the teacher needed help, he would usually ask her for assistance.
It's probably something like distributing homework and grading exams.
Pei Xi said goodbye to He Zan and Shen Miaoyi, turned around, and went to the teacher's office.
The offices and classrooms are separated; that area is mostly occupied by teachers and is much quieter than the classrooms.
