After finishing the snowman's body, Shen Zhizhu started working on the snowman's head. With her experience with the body, she finished the head very quickly.
Place the snowman's head steadily on its body and move it slightly, and the shape of a snowman will appear.
She looked at the snowman for a moment, then went back into the kitchen.
"Honey, give me a carrot and two beans. I want to use them as eyes and nose for the snowman."
Xu Haonan always responded to Shen Zhizhu's requests. He took out a carrot from the basket and two red beans and gave them to Shen Zhizhu.
"Look at you, your face is red, are you cold?"

Shen Zhizhu took these things and happily ran out again, looking back as he ran.
"Don't worry, I'm not cold, and my little snowman is almost done. I'll show it to you first when it's done!"
"The rice will be ready soon. It will cool down easily."
"Oh! Got it, I'll do it right away!"
Shen Zhizhu returned to the snowman and put the prepared nose and eyes on it. She stood up and clapped her hands, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
He put his hand on his chin, feeling that something was not right, and muttered to himself.
"I always feel like something is missing. What is it?"
Ah, she remembered, it was the scarf!
Although she didn't know why the little snowman, who existed for winter, had to wear a scarf, she believed that since everyone else did so, there must be a reason for its existence.
"Never mind, just take it first."
Of course Shen Zhizhu didn't have any ready-made scarves, and if she did, they were for them to wear themselves, so she didn't really want to use them.
Fortunately, there were enough needles and thread at home, as well as a wide variety of wool yarns. She quickly used thicker wool yarn to make a scarf that was neither too long nor too short and was a bit shoddy.
It feels like an alternative fishing net.
"A snowman is a spirit in the snow, so he probably prefers the cold. The exposed area will prevent him from feeling stuffy after wearing a scarf."
Shen Zhizhu justified her behavior by saying that she used two colors of wool to weave, both of which were very bright and colorful but low in saturation.
After putting the hastily made scarf on the snowman, it really looks good, like a bright spot appearing in the plain white space.
The two complement each other and enhance each other.
She squatted down to continue perfecting her little snowman, picked up a branch, and carefully traced the outline to make the outline of the clothes.
She used the snow next to her to fix it occasionally and made a few buttons. Just as she finished, Xu Haonan came out with steaming food.
"Azhu, eat first to warm up your body, and then continue."
"Hey, here I come."
She responded and ran to the wall to look at Erdan. She saw that he was still concentrating on carving. There was a small stool under his butt. She thought that Aunt Li was afraid that he would get tired from squatting, so she moved it here specially.
"Erdan, I'm going to eat first. I'll make some adjustments after dinner. How about you? Have you had breakfast? Do you want to come over and have something to eat?"
Erdan was concentrating and didn't even turn his head this time.
"I've eaten. Sister Xiaozhu, go eat quickly. Eating will warm you up."
Shen Zhizhu quickly returned to the house. She was used to staying outside and didn't feel the temperature outside was cold. Now that she was back indoors, she felt warm.
"Wow, it's so warm inside. My hands are burning."
The snow seeped through her gloves, and she didn't like the wet feeling, so she took them off.
My hands were frozen and stiff just now, but now I can feel warmth rising up in the palms and under the skin, accompanied by a burning sensation. It's magical.
Xu Haonan handed over a bowl of porridge and a cake, pushed the bowl towards Shen Zhizhu, then reached out and rubbed Shen Zhizhu's hands.
"I'll rub it for you. This is what happens when you touch the snow. Just take a break. Let's eat first."
Xu Haonan knew how much Shen Zhizhu was looking forward to the snow, so he deliberately placed the food in a place where he could see the snow scene outside through the window.
"This porridge must have been cooked for a long time. It tastes so good. I always think that porridge with vegetables is particularly fragrant, especially with delicious cakes. Eating breakfast with the one you love and enjoying the snow together is the greatest pleasure in life."
"Look, honey, that's the snowman I made. I chose the location so you can see it through the window. Isn't it beautiful?"
Shen Zhizhu happily shared her happiness with Xu Haonan, and Xu Haonan listened quietly, occasionally ordering food for Shen Zhizhu so that she wouldn't forget it because of her happiness.
"Why don't we give that snowman a name? It should be able to survive here for a while."
This suggestion hit Shen Zhizhu's heart directly, and she became even happier.
"That's a good idea, but what should we name it? Naming is a very brain-intensive task."
Shen Zhizhu had lived two lifetimes, and Xu Haonan had been studying and learning to write for such a long time, but they just didn't know what to name the little snowman, which stumped them.
The little snowman outside had a red nose. Shen Zhizhu had piled up the stones he had picked up under the nose to form a smiling face, which looked particularly festive.
"Why not call him Xuebao? He's a small one, born in the first snow of winter, so we give him the surname Xue. The word "bao" symbolizes our love for him. Ah Zhu, what do you think?"
Shen Zhizhu said "Olivia" in his mouth, and couldn't help but think of a movie he had seen in his previous life, which also had a snowman named Olaf.
"Olaf, what a great name. I hope he can be as happy and blessed as Olaf."
But she knew in her heart that this Olaf could not live in all four seasons like the Olaf in her memory.
But she doesn't think that the Olaf she created is miserable, because he carries her happiness. When she created him, she was very happy and was looking forward to his coming into being.
"Of course they will. Isn't there a saying that goes, if winter comes, will spring be late? Now that those who have ill intentions towards us have received the retribution they deserve, I don't think the remaining two people will bother themselves. They are too busy to pay attention to us."
Besides, they will have to leave for Beijing in a dozen days. Even if they want to do something, it will probably be too late.
Because the New Year is approaching, all the people who work outside will stay at home all day, the village will become more lively, and it will be much more difficult to cause trouble.
"Yes, even if they want to do something, with the glorious deeds of their parents, everyone will spontaneously watch over them."
