Xia Jin and his family's room was also heated up. Afraid that the two of them would be cold at night, Aunt Xia took out the thickest quilts in the house for them.
When they met the next day, breakfast was ready at home. In the winter, everyone liked to drink something hot, so they cooked corn porridge.
He really likes to drink this kind of thing, which has a fresh corn fragrance, so every time the family sends her something, they will also send some of this thing.
After dinner, the snow had stopped and a deep layer of snow had piled up outside.
At first glance, everything is white, as if you are trapped in a white world, and the roofs are also covered with snow.
And there was no one walking outside, so it looked particularly beautiful. Looking at the white snow, Xia Jin and his second brother looked at each other, and their eyes told the other what to do.
After dinner, the two of them quickly ran back to the room, armed themselves fully, put on thick gloves, called home, and went to the yard.
When they came back from the capital, it hadn't snowed there yet. They didn't expect that as soon as they got back here, they would encounter such a heavy snow.
Both of them were very excited. Although they were not young anymore, their mental age was sometimes like that of a child and they liked to play around.
Xia Jin was writing and drawing in the snow, having a great time when suddenly a snowball hit her neck, giving her a chill.
Xia Jin didn't even need to look back to know who hit him, so he turned his back to him and secretly threw a super big snowball in his hand. When he wasn't paying attention, he suddenly turned around and threw it at him.
Then the two of them started chasing each other, and finally when they were tired of playing, they built a snowman together.
Xia Jin's head rolled quite tightly, but Xia Yanbing's body rolled into a weird shape and didn't look good at all.
So the two of them started to fix it, but in the end it still didn't look that good, but they had no choice but to use it like this.
There wasn't much at home, so I used chili peppers on his nose and mouth, and then put two black beans on his eyes, which made it look a little weird.
After all, he has such a big head, dotted with two eyeballs the size of black beans. If you don't look carefully, you can't see his eyes at all from a distance.
I thought something dirty fell on it. It doesn't match his big head at all, so it's funny no matter how I look at it.
In order to scare others away from seeing his two eyes as big as black heads, Xia Yanbing also drew a black eyebrow on him with charcoal.
Then the contrast became even funnier. The two men were looking at the snowman and laughing happily when Father Xia and the others came out of the house.
"You guys are the most ridiculous. Find something bigger for your eyes. If my eyes weren't good, I wouldn't be able to see it."
"Play for a while and then go back to the house. If you catch a cold, it won't be worth it. There's no doctor in our village, so we'll have to go to town."
"Especially Xiaojin, you should wear more clothes. If you are going out for a walk, put on more clothes. Yan Bing is fine. He has thick skin and is not afraid of the cold."
After hearing what his uncle said, Xia Jin smiled and nodded, then looked at the things in their hands and asked:
"Are you guys going to town? We two want to go too. We're bored at home, so let's go for a walk in town."
"Yes, Dad, we are really bored at home. The young people in the village are going out to work, and some are going into business."
"Among the young people in this village, we are the first to come back. We can't even find a playmate. All the people I get along well with are out."
"There's so much snow on the mountain, it's all white. We can't go up there, so we can only stay at home. So you should take us two to town."
"Okay, okay, go inside and put on those two military coats. I'll take you there after you put on your coats. You really don't mind the cold. It's so cold outside, who wouldn't stay inside if they could? But you guys are the opposite."
After hearing his agreement, the two were so excited that they didn't even think the coat was ugly anymore. After all, it was warm to wear.
The two men quickly ran into the house and put on their military coats. Then Xia Jin put on a pair of thicker gloves and set off towards the town together.
Although the weather outside is very cold and it is not easy to walk because it has just snowed, there are still many people in the town.
In addition to the original residents of the town who came out to buy things, there were more people coming from the countryside. After all, the snow was getting heavier each time, and who knew if the next snow would block the roads.
Besides, the weather is so cold now, even if the things they buy are kept at home, they will not go bad, so they come out early to eat and buy New Year's goods while the road is still passable.
Anyway, it can be stored outside, so it’s better to prepare it early. Moreover, if you buy it early, the price will be very cheap.
So everyone will come out to buy it as soon as they have time, just like today and yesterday after it snowed. Although the road was a bit difficult to walk on, everyone came out early because they were afraid that it would snow even harder.
They first went to the meat shop and looked at the remaining meat on the chopping board and thought to themselves that it was a good thing they came early, otherwise they would not be able to buy the meat later.
Xia Jin had money, so he just bought all the meat. After all, there were many people in his family and they would definitely be able to finish it in time.
There are not many left, half of which are bones, but in winter it is suitable to eat some soups, and this bone stew is the best.
After getting the meat, they put it on a bullock cart and then went to the department store to buy some things.
The Xia family has already started preparing for the New Year. Every time they come, they bring a little back. Little by little, they accumulate and by the time the New Year comes, they have enough to prepare.
Otherwise, if they bought everything at once, they wouldn't be able to carry it all. Although there was a bullock cart, there were so many things to buy.
Looking at the White Rabbit milk candies and some other fruit candies in the department store, Xia Jin also bought a pound of them, after all, he had been visiting more people this winter.
Especially after the two of them come back, there will definitely be many aunts coming to visit the house, and there will definitely be something on the table at that time.
If the elderly do not give people food or water to drink at home, people will say that they are stingy when they go out.
Besides, everyone will still eat it during the Chinese New Year.
The greenhouse vegetables in their village have been growing quite well in the past two years. Although it is still in the exploratory stage, they can already make money for everyone.
Those young people did not think highly of this job before, so they all chose to go out to work instead of doing it at home.
