After giving instructions to Xiuhua, Ningjing pointed to the courtyard gate leading back to Tiedan, Xiuchun, and Siya.
Tie Dan and his two companions left the giant snowman with some reluctance, until Xiu Hua closed the door.
"Why don't you go back first? I'll go check on the brigade headquarters!"
Fu Hongxing took Ning Jing's hand and gently held her in his palm. After speaking, he lifted his hand and breathed on her.
The consequence of touching snow directly is that your fingers turn red from the cold.
"No, I want to go too."
Ning Jing shook her head and said to him.
Although his fingers were still cold, the warmth from Fu Hongxing's breath would dissipate within three seconds of touching his skin.
"Then when we get there, don't say anything. I'll be there for you, okay?"
Seeing that breathing on him was useless, Fu Hongxing simply grabbed Ning Jing's hand and stuffed it into his pocket.
He had been working all morning, climbing up and down to sweep snow, and was already covered in sweat.
As Ning Jing's hand was stuffed into her pocket, she felt the intense heat emanating from Fu Hongxing rushing towards her hand.
Feeling the heat, Ning Jing couldn't help but look Fu Hongxing up and down.
I didn't see him wearing many clothes, so why is he so hot?
Unlike herself, she was wearing a thick cotton coat underneath, several summer clothes underneath, and an outer cardigan, wrapped up tightly.
If she weren't so thin, she probably would have been wrapped up like a bear.
Ning Jing obediently let Fu Hongxing take her hand and put it in his pocket.
The two walked side by side, stumbling along the path towards the brigade headquarters.
However, they had only gone halfway when they were met by Zhao Dazhu and his wife.
"Brother Dazhu, Sister-in-law Guihua, are you alright?"
Ning Jing looked behind the two of them but did not see Gao Dani.
His gaze fell on the faces of Zhao Dazhu and his wife. Although they looked tired, they seemed to be in good spirits.
Wang Guihua, in particular, is much more energetic and spirited now than when she was sickly and bedridden.
"Red Star, Ning Jing, everything's alright."
They were just asking for grain. My husband and I didn't agree to give it all at once, so we only gave them 100 jin, half coarse grains and half rice.
Gao Dani came with her younger brother, took the grain, signed the papers, and then carried it away.
Wang Guihua said calmly.
Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing turned around and followed them back. As they walked, Zhao Dazhu whispered to Fu Hongxing, "Ning Jing advised us not to give it so readily. I was originally thinking of giving it all at once to avoid any further complications."
This shows that it was fortunate that Ning Jing listened to her advice and did not agree to give away all the grain.
"Red Star, the world outside is truly in chaos!"
Zhao Dazhu is, after all, a man who has lived to such an old age, and he also experienced hardships when he was young.
When Gao Dani and her brother came to ask for grain, he could guess the general situation from the few words Gao Dani's brother revealed.
There is probably a severe food shortage outside.
"When we get back, take back the food you had earlier."
Anyway, our family doesn't need to pay it all at once; we can pay it back slowly and eventually pay it off.
Don't let the children go hungry because of this.
Fu Hongxing shook his head and refused, saying, "Brother Dazhu, don't worry, do you think I would let my sister-in-law and Ning Jing go hungry?"
Although there is no food here, I bought a lot of it on this trip.
"That's enough to last until next spring. Don't rush to return that grain."
