Playing in the snow?
She declined.
Yuanyuan was a well-behaved and sensible girl. After hearing what Feng Juan said, she didn't make a fuss and nodded obediently. "Then let's go together."
Feng Juan stayed in the kitchen to help Aunt Feng light the fire and did not go out with them, but she did remind them: "Wear gloves when playing in the snow, and never take them off."
"I know."
As soon as Yun Qiao finished speaking, he picked up a small shovel for planting vegetables and led Yuanyuan out of the yard.
The snow on this side of the residential area had almost all been cleared, and it was covered with a layer of gray mud, which was too dirty to make snowmen.
The two walked around the family compound and finally arrived at the small square.
The snow in the small square has not been cleared yet, it is clean and perfect for making snowmen.
Yuanyuan volunteered to make a big round snowman head, and Yunqiao took a small shovel to make the snowman's body. She piled snow on the snowman's body little by little, trying to create a stable and solid "foundation".
However, before they finished making the snowman, another group of children came to the small square. There were both boys and girls among them. The oldest was about fourteen or fifteen years old, almost as tall as Yun Qiao. The youngest was only five or six years old, and only tall enough to reach Yun Qiao's waist.
Yun Qiao recognized one of them as Yang Hongxing, the eldest daughter of Zeng Qi's sister-in-law, but Yang Hongxing probably didn't remember her anymore. When she glanced at Yun Qiao, there was a look of complete unfamiliarity in her eyes.
Yun Qiao expressed her understanding of this. After all, they had only met once a year and a half ago. It was normal for them to forget after such a long time.
"Big sister, are you new here? I've never seen you before." There was an outgoing boy who took the initiative to run up to Yunqiao and Yuanyuan and talk to them.
Yuanyuan had rolled the snowman's head into the size of a basketball, and was so tired that she was out of breath.
She was raised very well by Feng Juan. Although she was a little silly, she had a very kind personality. She was enthusiastic and cheerful and not introverted. She never had any inferiority complex.
She smiled and replied, "Yes, little brother, we just got here yesterday."
Yun Qiao also nodded.
The little boy's eyes lit up and he invited enthusiastically, "Are you going to build a snowman? Let's play together! I want to build a big snowman too."
"Yes." Yuanyuan agreed happily, and Yunqiao also nodded with a smile.
"My name is Lu Qi, I'm eight years old, and I live in the second alley behind the small square." Lu Qi started introducing herself and her family. After explaining her own information, she asked Yuanyuan, "Sister, what about you? What's your name?"
Perhaps because Yun Qiao looked like an adult, he ignored Yun Qiao and started chatting with Yuan Yuan.
Yuanyuan smiled and replied, "My name is Qin Yuanyuan, and I'm fifteen years old."
"At fifteen years old, you are older than my big brother!" Lu Qi exclaimed immediately.
Yuanyuan asked, "How old is your older brother?"
"My big brother is twelve years old!" Lu Chen boasted. "He's not as old as you, but he's taller than you. He can also shoot a gun. Can you?"
Yuanyuan shook her head: "Gun, what is that?"
"A gun is a gun. How can you not understand this? It's really boring."
After a few words, Lu Qi, who was originally very excited, lost interest in playing with Yuan Yuan and ran away directly: "I don't want to play with you anymore."
Yuanyuan was at a loss. She opened her big, innocent eyes blankly, not knowing why Lu Qi suddenly ignored her.
Yun Qiao patted Yuanyuan's little head and said, "Yuanyuan, if he doesn't want to play with us, we won't play with him either. How about we build a snowman together?"
Yuanyuan pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Yun Qiao said: "First, let's assemble the snowman's body and head."
With Yunqiao's patient company, Yuanyuan quickly put aside the unpleasantness and concentrated on assembling the snowman.
However, although the half-human-height snowman gradually took shape, it successfully attracted the attention of another group of children.
Lu Xixi seemed to have forgotten what she had just said about not playing with Yuanyuan, and she ran to Yuanyuan again, wanting to paint eyes on the snowman with her.
Yuanyuan shook her head: "No, I don't want to play with you anymore."
Lu Qi tried every possible means to persuade her, calling her sister and saying sorry. Finally, when Yuanyuan wasn't paying attention, she poked two holly leaves into the facial features of the snowman that Yuanyuan had drawn.
Yuanyuan was very angry. She didn't like the snowman's leaf eyes. She wanted to use colorful buttons to make eyes for the snowman.
"No! This is my snowman, don't touch it."
But little boys are naughty. The more Yuanyuan forbids him to touch, the more he wants to touch.
The two leaves were picked off and put back on again and again, and Yuanyuan became more and more angry. The little boy was also provoked and suddenly kicked the snowman's head off.
"If you don't let me play, then you don't have to play either!"
Seeing the snowman she had worked so hard to build destroyed, Yuanyuan burst into tears and pointed at Lu Yu and said, "Bad boy! Sister, he hit my snowman, he is a bad boy!"
Yun Qiao quickly stepped forward to comfort Yuanyuan, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and then glared at Lu Chen and asked sharply, "Lu Chen! Why did you kick Yuanyuan's snowman?"
Lu Chen still had one foot on the snowman's head, his hands on his hips, looking like a little bully, and said confidently: "Who told her not to let me play!"
"Snowmen are round. Even if she doesn't let you play with them, you shouldn't kick her snowman just to vent your anger!" Yun Qiao said directly, "Apologize!"
"I won't!" Lu Chen, who was probably spoiled by his family, didn't feel he was wrong at all and shouted, "I won't apologize!"
The two sides were about to start a quarrel. The other children were frightened by this scene and no longer cared about playing in the snow. They retreated and stayed away from them.
At this moment, a slender figure came over. Yun Qiao looked up and saw that it was Yang Hongxing.
Yang Hongxing looked at the crying Yuanyuan, took the initiative to step in front of her, handed her a candy, and said softly: "I'm sorry, it was Lu's fault just now. He was naughty and shouldn't have kicked your snowman. This candy is for you. Don't cry anymore, okay?"
Yuanyuan stopped crying, took the candy, and whispered, "He kicked the snowman. I want him to say sorry."
Yang Hongxing immediately turned to Lu Chen and said seriously, "Lu Chen, apologize! If we want to play together, we must get along with each other and not bully others."
Lu Qi was a stubborn person. He stuck his head out and said, "No! I won't apologize to a fool!"
