Unlike the host planning the same room, this is the first time the host actively invites it to sleep with her in the room.
After Xu Manman fell asleep, it sat by the kang, using its eyes to picture its host's sleeping face. In the middle of the night, it even went to add some firewood without waking up anyone in the room.
The next day was Sunday. No one wanted to get up early in the cold weather. Xu Manman, who was a lazy person, was no exception. She slept until dawn, and Xiao Jin was no longer in the room.
In the room, traces of Xiao Jin can be seen everywhere, with neatly folded clothes on the kang and a cup of steaming tea on the cabinet.
Xu Manman got up and went to the bathroom. The toothpaste for brushing her teeth had been squeezed for her, and there was a basin full of hot water next to her.
When Xu Manman finished packing and walked out of the room, Chen Ming, who had gotten up early, had already lit the stove in the east wing.
Seeing Xu Manman come in, he immediately put down his book and stood up, "Manman, are you hungry? I made some porridge and it's warm in the pot. What side dishes would you like? I'll make it for you."
"I can do it myself, you can read the book."
She wasn't very cold after just getting up, so it was a good opportunity for her to take a few steps and move around.
I went to the kitchen to get some kimchi and soybean sauce, and returned to the east wing. Chen Ming's porridge was in a lunch box, warmed in hot water, and the temperature was just right when I brought it out.
She then used the still hot water to melt the ice in the side dishes. With just these two side dishes, Xu Manman finished a whole lunch box of white porridge.
After she finished eating, Chen Ming took the pot and dishes to the kitchen to wash them.
The snow stopped today. It must have snowed all night last night, and their yard was covered with a thick layer of snow. Now the benefits of the corridor can be seen.
At least they could move freely between the rooms in their yard without getting any snow on their feet, but it was not so easy to go out. From the second room's yard to the side door, and through the parking yard, it was completely open air.
After completing the morning's study tasks, Chen Ming went out for a walk. When he came back, his trouser legs were wet with snow.
Xu Manman urged him to change his shoes and pants, "Don't catch a cold."
Chen Ming didn't change his pants, but changed into a pair of old thick-soled cotton shoes and went out of the second house yard with a broom and a shovel.
"I'm going to clear the snow from the empty yard in front. Otherwise, it will be difficult to walk on it if it accumulates snow."
Xu Manman followed behind and said, "You don't have to do it all, just clear a path."
Chen Ming stopped Xu Manman and said, "I'll clear a path as you say. It will be quick. Don't come down, or you'll get your shoes wet again."
Xu Manman didn't mind getting her shoes wet, but she was having her period now, so catching a cold would be a real hassle.
But she was not idle either. She went back to the kitchen to get a bag of salt. Her cousin cleared the way in front while she spread salt behind.
"Cousin, how's the traffic outside?"
"It's okay. There's no problem for cars and people to pass through the snow on the main streets." The efficiency of the capital's sanitation work is much better than he imagined. When he went there in the morning, the main streets were almost cleaned up. Even in the alleys, there were many people cleaning up spontaneously.
"Then I guess we'll be almost done today. We can just go to school normally tomorrow."
Not only did they clean the yard, they also opened the only door in the alley at the side of their house, so they had to clean this area as well. When they came out into the alley, they could see people working in front and behind their yard. It was impossible for them to just ignore this area, so they simply cleaned this area as well.
The diligent figures of the two young people successfully attracted the attention of the street lady.
"Hey, two college students are here to sweep the snow. Don't you have classes today?" This older sister was also wearing sleeves and holding a broom, and she seemed to be working just now.
Chen Ming straightened up and stretched his waist, which was a little sore from being bent. "Yes, Sister Wang, today is the weekend and there are no classes at school."
"Have you had lunch?" Sister Wang sent the most common greeting at this time.
"Not yet. Let's finish this first before eating." Chen Ming bent down and continued working.
"Ah? College students can't go hungry. It's already this late, and this is all we have. You put it there first, and Sister Wang will help you." As she said that, she started waving the broom in front of them, and her agility was even better than Chen Ming's.
This elder sister was really enthusiastic. Just a few days after they moved in, Sister Wang took the initiative to come to their house to register. This place is basically full of old neighbors, and suddenly two young people from other places came. Although they don’t interact with others, they are still eye-catching enough.
As a street clerk who helps maintain public order and understands the situation of residents in the area, Sister Wang naturally took the initiative to visit the residents to understand the situation.
