The day soon arrived and it was New Year’s Eve.
When Xu Jianguo got up early in the morning, he found that snowflakes like goose feathers were floating in the sky outside again, and he couldn't help feeling happy.
After getting dressed, they went to the main room. After waiting for a while, Wenwen came out from the west room. When the father and son took Xiaohei and Erhei to lift the door curtain and walked into the yard, the little guys also found that it was snowing and immediately became energetic.
"Why are you laughing so foolishly?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Dad, I love snowy days the most. I can play snowball fights with my aunts and build a snowman with Lele. It's so much fun!" Wenwen said excitedly.
Xu Jianguo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard this. The steady words reminded him of the scene when he took Funiu to make a snowman. At that time, Funiu was still a baby and couldn't speak clearly. She chased after him all day long, shouting "ga gaga gaga", which was extremely cute.
In the blink of an eye, Funiu is already eleven years old. In a few years, she will become a grown-up girl.
"Dad, what are you laughing at?" Wenwen looked at his father with the corners of his mouth raised and asked.
"I remembered how your aunt looked when she first saw snow. At that time, she was as happy as you were," Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Hey, after I finish practicing, I'll go into the house and call them."
"good!"
While the father and son were talking, Xiaohei and Erhei had already jumped down from the stairs, buried their entire bodies in the snow, and were having a lot of fun.
Because the temperature was so low, the snow that fell some time ago had not melted yet. A thick layer of snow accumulated overnight. At this time, the deepest snow in the yard was more than one meter.
Fortunately, Xu Jianguo took Wenwen to clean up the yard some time ago, otherwise the entire yard would be buried in one meter deep snow.
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Son, we won't practice this morning. We need to clear the snow in the yard and then go visit your great-grandfather."
When Wenwen heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go get the tools!" After that, he jumped down the stairs.
When it snowed before, Xu Jianguo and Wenwen cleaned the area from the gate of the yard to the steps, and then swept out the area leading to the warehouse boiler room. No other places were touched.
As a result, now as soon as you open the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is the snow walls about one meter high on both sides.
It was also because of the thick snow in the yard that the five children in the family had more fun.
Wenwen was a smart boy. He dug out a snow cave in the yard and then went in with his three aunts and sister. The five of them had a lot of fun playing in it.
Especially Lele, the girl. Wen Sitian called her several times but she refused to go home and insisted on eating dinner in the snow cave, which made Wen Sitian very angry.
Because she was young and had not yet taken the gene-enhancing drug, Wen Sitian was afraid that she would be cold, so she dressed her in several layers, turning the little girl into a little fat girl.
Wen Sitian, who was furious, crawled directly into the snow hole and slapped Lele's little butt twice. However, because she was wearing too thick clothes, the girl didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, she giggled non-stop, which made Wen Sitian depressed.
A moment later, Wenwen brought two flat-head shovels, one large and one small, from the warehouse, returned to Xu Jianguo, and handed the large shovel to his father.
Xu Jianguo took the shovel and said with a smile, "Old rules?"
"Yeah, old rules!"
"Let's get started!"
"Okay!"
The father and son smiled at each other, divided the work clearly, and each took charge of one side and started working.
Both of them were in excellent physical condition, so they worked very efficiently. In less than half an hour, they shoveled the snow on the aisle onto the thick snow on both sides of the yard.
When Wenwen saw Xiaohei and Erhei wiggling around in the snow, he couldn't help but think of playing a prank on them. He took advantage of the cat and the dog not paying attention and threw all the snow he had shoveled up onto them.
Xiao Hei noticed something was wrong, and as soon as he showed his head, he was covered in a shovel of snow in the face, causing him to whimper at Wen Wen with a look of resentment on his face, which made the little guy laugh out loud.
After clearing the snow in the yard and at the gate, the father and son carried shovels and walked towards Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong's house.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xu Jianguo heard the voices of two elders talking in the courtyard.
Wenwen took the lead, pushed open the gate and walked in. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted, "Grandpa, I'm here to help you sweep the snow!"
The two old men who were sweeping the snow with brooms heard the sound and looked up, and saw Wenwen and Xu Jianguo walking in from outside. Smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
"Wenwen, come here!" Su Dingshan waved at Wenwen.
"Great grandfather!"
"What are you doing here in this cold weather? Are you cold?"
"It's not cold. My dad and I were just sweeping snow at home. I'm so hot from working so hard!"
"Hahaha, that brat is quite powerful!"
At this time, Xu Jianguo also came over and shouted with a smile: “Grandpa Su, Grandpa Wu!”
"Why!"
"You two can go inside and take a rest. We two can do this job!"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you two then. Once you're done, come inside and eat!"
"Okay!"
After watching the two elders return to the house, the father and son continued to shovel snow. After a while, they had shoveled away all the snow in the aisle and at the gate of the courtyard.
Back at the main hall door, the father and son placed the shovels in their hands against the wall. Xu Jianguo helped to shake off the snow on their hats and clothes. Then the two of them stomped their feet, opened the door, lifted the curtain and went into the house.
"Come quickly, get on the kang and warm up!" Wu Tianlong shouted quickly when he saw the two people enter the room.
"Hey, here it comes!"
At this time, the kang table was already set with bowls and chopsticks, grits porridge, steamed buns made of two-grain flour, fermented tofu and pickles. Although the breakfast was simple, it was nutritious.
The father and son didn't hesitate to take off their cotton shoes and got on the kang. Su Dingshan grabbed a big steamed bun and stuffed it into Wenwen's hand, saying with a smile, "Here, eat it quickly!"
"Thank you, great-grandfather!" Wenwen said, then grabbed the steamed bun which was almost as big as his face and started eating happily.
