The fifth day after Li Chang'an returned to the village.
Princess Lingnan reluctantly left the village.
The snow is so deep!
If we don't leave soon, the mountains may be blocked by heavy snow.
Li Chang'an looked at the snow covering the mountains and fields.
All I could feel was the picturesque scenery, a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth.
"I opened the door at dawn to find the mountains covered in snow."
"The snow has cleared, the clouds are light, and the sunlight is cold."
"The eaves dripped, but the plum blossoms remained frozen."
"A kind of solitary elegance is not to be taken lightly."
"What a beautiful poem! What a beautiful poem!"
Li Chang'an, fanning himself, recited poetry while shaking his head in the dead of winter.
He acts like an idiot, bragging about himself.
When Lin Youchu saw him, he was wearing a long robe in the dead of winter, standing in the courtyard fanning himself, with a hint of resentment on his face.
My husband is really something, why is he fanning himself in the middle of winter?
She took out the cotton coat she had sewn and went over to drape it over her husband.
"It's cold, my husband, wear more clothes!"
Li Chang'an turned around and saw Lin Youchu, and couldn't help but pinch her little cheek.
After being fed for several days, Lin Youchu has finally grown a bit.
To describe it in a line of poetry.
That's like a lotus bud just beginning to emerge, with a dragonfly already perched on it.
And that wretched dragonfly was none other than Li Chang'an.
Lin Youchu was a little shy and struggled to get away from his hand.
She was pulled into her husband's arms.
You Chu leaned against Li Chang'an, her whole body tense, not daring to move at all.
Her little face turned red, and the blush spread down her neck.
"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~"
The little girl opened her big eyes, tilted her head, and drooled.
Look at the two lovers embracing each other in the snow.
Making "oh oh oh" sounds.
His little head was full of curiosity.
Upon hearing her sister's voice, Lin Youchu shyly pushed her husband away.
He turned around, picked up the little girl, and took the finger out of her mouth.
These days, those poor little chicks have been played with by Xiaoya and ended up in the pot.
The husband even offered incense to them.
Thirteen spices!
It smelled so delicious that even Dongdong was drooling.
When Li Chang'an returned to the village, the system's sign-in rewards were finally not duplicated.
The rewards for staying in the village these past few days are Thirteen Spices, iced cola, ice cream, and ice cubes.
...
Li Chang'an looked at the snowflakes in the sky, and then at the sign-in rewards in his backpack.
He felt like swearing.
Hopefully I'll get something good by signing in today.
"Today's sign-in reward—a steamed bun!"
It's alright, there were no popsicles as a reward.
Li Chang'an was very satisfied.
As a southerner, I saw snow a few times when I was a child.
As I grew up, I lived along the coast.
I've basically never seen snow anymore.
With busy work schedules, there's never time to go to the north to appreciate the beautiful scenery of snow falling all over the land.
I'm in a good mood because I checked in for something nice today.
He decided to stroll around the village and admire the beautiful white landscape.
The snowflakes crunched underfoot.
The clever and brave Lin Dongdong is practicing calligraphy with Su Xiao.
The villagers were wielding shovels, clearing the ground.
The thatched houses in the village have been hit by snow these days.
The weight collapsed many rooftops.
Fortunately, before the snow fell, the son-in-law had them build a few houses.
Even if we squeeze in, we can barely fit everyone in.
The villagers didn't mind.
In previous years, many people would freeze to death when it snowed.
If I don't meet my son-in-law this year.
It's estimated that half the villagers won't survive this winter.
Things can't be like they are now.
He was wearing a thick cotton coat and warm cloth shoes.
Every day it's rice mixed with lard, and we also eat eggs.
Even in the dead of winter, they can still earn wages.
This would have been unthinkable in the past.
Seeing their son-in-law pass by, the villagers worked even harder.
Xiong Er went out for a while and was rewarded with an ox by his son-in-law, who also gave him a raise.
He was also appointed by his son-in-law as the village's security captain, in charge of more than a dozen auxiliary soldiers.
Although the villagers didn't know what the security captain meant.
But having more than a dozen subordinates makes him a very powerful official.
The villagers are now well-fed and warmly dressed.
I also had some ideas in my mind.
If you do a good job, your son-in-law might take a liking to you.
Who knows, I might become an official someday.
Xiong Er, dressed in the uniform of the Lingnan army, stood ramrod straight with a group of auxiliary soldiers.
He felt a sense of disdain seeing how hard the villagers worked.
I've been to the battlefield with my son-in-law; you bunch of scoundrels can't compare.
He was somewhat proud to be appointed as the security captain.
Although I don't know what official position it is.
But I'll be an official from now on.
I'm not like you unruly people anymore.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and shouted out the slogan that his son-in-law had made for them.
"Security guards, security guards, protecting peace!"
The other auxiliary soldiers also shouted in unison.
"Security guards, security guards, protecting peace!"
Seeing the villagers and Xiong Er's spirited appearance, Li Chang'an smiled with satisfaction.
Great, very energetic!
It seems that most of the villagers have been bribed.
After walking all the way to the village entrance, Li Chang'an cleared away the large stones by the roadside and sat down.
He took out a cigarette from his backpack and put it in his mouth.
When I'm at home, I don't smoke in front of the little girls because I'm afraid of offending them with the smell.
I always have to find an excuse to go out and smoke in secret from them.
He might have developed a psychological trauma from being scolded by his mother.
