She got up, hugging the quilt, and looked out the window at the dazzling white. "Snow!" She had never seen it before. Last night was dark and she was only concerned with the cold.
Cao An walked to the door and said, "Put on your clothes before you come out, don't catch a cold."
Xia Youyou wore a thermal jacket inside and a goose down jacket outside and rushed out.
The yard was already covered in snow. That morning, Cao An had swept a path from his doorway. The snow was still falling, and I didn't know if the two men had arrived yet. It had snowed so heavily last night that the ground was already covered in a thick layer.
Grab a handful of snow from the ground under the eaves.
"Don't play in the snow, you'll get cold." Cao An poked his head out of the kitchen.
Xia Youyou wouldn't listen to him. She squeezed the snow in her hand tightly and threw it at Cao An with evil intentions. She missed the target and the snowball exploded on the kitchen door frame.
Cao An didn't even move and just let her throw it.
He rolled up a snowball and threw it again.
Cao An raised his hand, grabbed it, and threw it back. Xia Youyou was so frightened that she quickly stepped back, but she accidentally stepped on her clothes that had been scattered due to squatting. She lost her balance and fell directly off the eaves. Xia Youyou's heart was pounding, but thankfully the snow was thick, so the fall didn't hurt, so she simply started rolling in the snow.
Cao An rushed out and watched her playing tricks in the snow. He sighed helplessly, "She's really still a child!" The eaves of the corridor were half a meter higher than the yard, so it wouldn't hurt if she fell, not to mention the snow on the ground.
"Come up quickly when you've had enough fun and change your clothes in time, otherwise you'll catch a cold." He returned to the kitchen to help his mother light the fire.
Liu Hui shook her head and smiled. These two siblings couldn't be closer. Even though Cao An always liked to tease her, he was also very clear when he felt sorry for her.
"Don't play for too long, change your wet clothes and get ready for breakfast."
Xia Youyou then got up from the ground, and with a feeling of being unsatisfied, she lay down on the snow she had never touched before, spread her arms and legs, and began to draw butterflies on the ground.
"Brother! Come and see me grow wings!"
Cao An brought out the dishes and saw that she had changed her position and laid down. He scolded her in a low voice, "Hurry up and get up. It's time to eat."
"I won't!" She was having a great time, and there was no way she would get up so easily so quickly. Suddenly she thought of something and took out something like a small notebook, "Brother, come here and take a picture for me!"
Cao An really had no resistance to technological products. He put the dishes on the table in the main hall and walked over to her.
"How do I use this thing?" The small notebook is the size of a palm, and strangely enough, it is transparent, like a piece of glass.
"This is also a communicator. Start recording and taking photos." Xia Youyou operated it in his hand, opening the photo interface. Her image appeared in a flash on the glass. "Aim at me, press this red button, and you can take a photo of me!"
Cao An awkwardly held the glass, pointed it at her and pressed the red button, freezing the image. Xia Youyou leaned over to look at the photo he had taken, "Hey, not bad!"
The girl in the photo had her hair loose, having barely had time to tie it up. She wore a loose red goose down coat, her head tilted to one side and her eyes narrowed in a smile. Behind her was a blanket of white snow, and a bright smile graced her delicate cheeks. The red mole on her forehead made her even more charming.
"Take a few more pictures for me, and I'll take pictures of you and your mom, and we'll take a family photo."
Cao An got the hang of it and quickly adapted, starting to film her. Xia Youyou kept changing her movements, and neither of them could stop.
Finally, Liu Hui couldn't stand it any longer and said, "You two troublemakers, hurry back and have dinner! Anzi, you're fooling around too."
Cao An looked embarrassed. He liked playing with these things. He had played with everything in his space, but this was the first time he had played with something that could take pictures.
Xia Youyou stood up and brushed off the snow on her body. Seeing Cao An couldn't let go of the photos, she knew he liked them. "Brother, you can play with them. Just don't delete them. I'm going to change my clothes and we'll take a family photo later."
Without waiting for Cao An to say anything, he ran back to his room and changed into new clothes.
Sitting at the dining table, I set up my phone and took the first family photo of the three of us.
The mother and daughter sat together arm in arm, Cao An stood behind them, bent down and put his hands on their shoulders, and the three of them looked at the camera.
"This thing is amazing. It's clearer than the ones in the photo studio."
Liu Hui looked at the photo in her hand and felt curious. The photo turned out better than the real person.
Xia Youyou took a picture of the two of them, then gave it to Cao An. "Here you go."
"What are you doing for me? Don't you have enough things here?"
"I'm tired of playing with these. You can play with them."
He had no choice but to take it and said, "I'll study it tonight and give it to you tomorrow."
After breakfast, Cao An went out to the fields as usual. The seeds had already been sown in the greenhouse. It snowed so heavily last night, so he wanted to check if the greenhouse had been crushed.
He told his good sister to stay at home with her mother and not to go to the black market again, then he rode his bike away.
Xia Youyou helped collect the dishes and fetched water to wash them. Liu Hui quickly stopped her, "Get out of the way! Don't go in the water! You'll get frostbite."
"What are frostbite?"
"Hands that are in the water alternate between hot and cold easily become itchy, and then sores and ulcers develop. Protect your little hands well. Our daughter must be pampered."
"Mom is so nice!" I hugged my mother's waist from behind, smelled her scent, and rubbed against her. I felt extremely happy. I no longer had the hesitation I had when I first came here. My heart finally settled down.
"It's almost New Year's Day, should we go out and do some shopping?"
"Have you forgotten what your brother said again? He said to stay at home and have a good time." Liu Hui quickly washed the dishes, wiped her hands on her apron, and turned around to help her tidy up her messy hair.
"Brother only said that we are not allowed to go to the black market. We can go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
"You!"
Xia Youyou dodged her poking hand and ran out of the kitchen. "Mom, I'm going to get something. Go back to your room and change your clothes. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some delicious food!"
The mother and daughter packed up and headed out to the supply and marketing cooperative. The snow on the road had been swept to the side of the road, making it a little wet. Xia Youyou skipped along, not wanting to get her shoes wet.
Liu Hui pulled her and said, "Don't jump, walk gently." Only then did she calm down.
When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, probably because the Chinese New Year was approaching, the production teams had already started distributing dividends one after another, and every household had started preparing for the New Year, so the supply and marketing cooperative was extremely bustling.
The two squeezed through the door and went inside, their ears filled with noisy sounds.
"I want this candy, give me two pounds."
"Alas, I came here first! How can I give it to her first?"
Xia Youyou heard a familiar voice, but couldn't remember who it was. Turning around, she saw that the shrill voice belonged to the mother of her original self, Liu Daya.
Disgust flashed across his face. How could we meet here? He pulled Liu Hui and started to squeeze in again, but there were too many people. There was also a candy store here, so there was no way to squeeze in.
"Liu Daya!"
