Chapter 85 If We Can Spend the Snow Today
Tu Subo wondered if there was an umbrella at home. When he returned home with the last bundle of firewood, he found Yu Shi standing at the door, looking around anxiously.
Yu Shi didn't bother to brush the snow off her shoulders and hurried forward to help: "Come on, come on, put it here."
Tu Subo didn't ask her to help, but put the firewood in a proper place himself. He rubbed his aching shoulders and asked with concern, "Why doesn't Second Aunt go inside to hide from the snow?"
Yu gently withdrew her worried gaze from the door, a bitter smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and she murmured softly: "Your second uncle hasn't returned home yet, and I can't help but feel a little uneasy."
According to common sense, after traveling back and forth from the county town to here, one should have already returned home.
However, there was still no sign of it at this moment, and it happened to be snowing.
Yu kept muttering about her worries about the difficulty of the journey in the snow. Seeing the water boiling on the stove, she hurriedly turned and ran to the kitchen.
A complex emotion flashed across Tu Subo's face. He pursed his lips gently, washed the dirt off his hands, and asked, "Mom, do you have an umbrella at home?"
Xi Lanfang was helping Tu Su Minxu and Tu Su Yunxi put on their newly made jackets when she heard the voice from inside the house and responded, "Yes, what do you want an umbrella for?"
Tu Subo narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the snowflakes gradually accumulating on the ground. He exhaled a puff of white mist and said, "Grandfather and Xuanxuan are heading to Qiushan. I plan to take an umbrella to pick them up."
"You should definitely go pick it up, but you're wearing too few clothes."
Xi Lanfang handed the umbrella to Tu Subo, frowned slightly, and said with concern: "Didn't Xuanxuan stuff cotton into your clothes? Go inside and change into thick clothes to avoid catching a cold..."
"No problem."
Tu Subo waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I'm still warm, let's go get the person home first."
He held the umbrella and hurried out. Just after walking a distance, he met Gu Yuexuan, who was carrying a long basket on her head. "Grandpa, hurry up! If you don't hurry up, the snow will get us wet!"
There were two heads under the basket, one old and one young, running in the snow, white mist constantly coming out of their mouths.
My grandfather once had a luxurious canopy over his head and an umbrella with calligraphy that was priceless, but running wildly with a basket to cover himself with snow for the first time was indeed a rare experience in his life.
He walked hurriedly, panting, but his words were full of smiles: "Xuan girl, please lift the basket higher. I can hardly see the road."
"Hey, aren't my arms short?"
"Grandpa, please just make do for a while, we'll be home soon!"
She turned her head sharply and cast an encouraging look at her old grandfather sitting in the corner.
The old grandfather glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, then immediately moved sideways skillfully, avoiding the coverage of the basket.
Before Gu Yuexuan could react to this sudden change, a heavy palm suddenly pressed down from the basket above her head.
The entire basket was instantly placed on her head, and everything in front of her was immediately cut into tiny fragments by the crisscross stripes of the basket.
Through the tiny gap, she caught a glimpse of the deep black on Tu Subo's cuffs.
"snort."
The old grandfather straightened his back, showing the dignity of an elder, and walked in calmly: "I'll go in and change my clothes first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Gu Yuexuan stretched out her arms desperately, trying to pull away Tu Subo's evil hand.
"Let go now."
Let me out of this basket!
Tu Subo leaned over and looked at her through the basket, a smile forming on his lips: "Did you and Grandfather run all the way back like this?"
When did grandpa become so casual?
Gu Yuexuan responded fearlessly: "What if I run back?"
"There's drizzle mixed with the snow. If we don't speed up, we'll get soaked, and that'll be troublesome."
She herself might be able to bear it, but her grandfather was already old, and if he caught a cold...
Before she finished her words, she began to struggle again, trying to get rid of Tu Subo's hand: "Tu Subo, let me go quickly, or I will..."
"How about you?"
Tu Subo controlled the strength of his hands to ensure that the basket was firmly fastened to her head without causing her any pain.
He looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. A playful feeling surged in his heart, and he even flicked the edge of the basket lightly: "Xuanxuan, call me brother."
"Call me brother and I'll let you go."
"Oh, you're really stubborn."
Gu Yuexuan tried several times but couldn't break free. Suddenly, she sneered and shouted, "Little guys, come on!"
Tu Subo turned his head in confusion, only to hear a chaotic noise coming from inside the door. The little guys, led by Tu Su Minyang, rushed out like a whirlwind and surrounded him in an instant.
"Brother, we caught you!"
"Brother, surrender now!"
"Catch Big Brother!"
With the children's excited shouts, they all hung on Tu Subo's body. As soon as the strength in his hands loosened, the basket was suddenly overturned by Gu Yuexuan.
She swung the basket around, spun it around a few times, and then raised her eyebrows provocatively at Tu Subo: "How about it? Do you admit defeat or not?"
She noticed these little guys right from the start!
This came in handy.
Tu Suyanting was a little shy and did not rush to Tu Subo. Instead, she held Gu Yuexuan's hand affectionately and gently advised: "Brother, just admit defeat."
Two fists cannot beat four hands. You can't beat us.
Tu Subo rubbed his brows with a wry smile on his face, raised his hands high, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I admit defeat."
Gu Yuexuan showed a satisfied smile, hugged Tu Su Yanting intimately and waved her arms: "Retreat, retreat, let's retreat!"
"Victory, victory!"
"Brother, give up!"
Tu Su Minyang excitedly picked up Tu Su Yunxi and swung her in the air, making Xi Lanfang laugh and scold her, "Ouch, be careful, don't let the two of you fall."
"Everyone, get inside and avoid the snow. Don't get soaked by the snow outside."
Gu Yuexuan put the basket back in its place, and Tu Subo followed her into the stable.
Gu Yuexuan was still brooding over Tu Subo's prank and hadn't spoken a word. Suddenly, Tu Subo said gently, "Xuanxuan, don't move."
"Um?"
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yuexuan stood there quietly, and Tu Subo stretched out his hand and gently brushed her hair.
He plucked a strand of crystal clear snowflakes from the end of her hair, placed it in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Xuanxuan, this is the first snow we have seen together today."
If we can spend the snow together today, there is no need to worry about not growing old together in the future.
"Xuanxuan..."
"Tu Subo! Tu Subo, come out quickly!"
Suddenly, Xi Lanfang called out anxiously from outside: "It seems your second uncle has had an accident!"
"ah?"
“Stop!”
"Second sister-in-law, get out of the way!"
The screams instantly pierced the silence, and Xi Lanfang and Li were so frightened that they rushed forward in panic to pull them apart.
However, they were still a step behind.
He lifted the kettle on the table and smashed it hard on Yu's head. Broken pieces of pottery flew everywhere, creating a mess. The scene in front of him was instantly stained red with blood.
