"Hiss! I'm freezing! I'm freezing!"
Wei Ci wore a gray rabbit fur hat on his head, a bright red scarf around his neck, and three layers of clothes on his body, looking like a chubby little bear. In the heavy snow, he was swaying like a snowman.
She had never seen such heavy snow. When she got up early in the morning and opened the door, she saw snowflakes flying all over the sky. The child, who had never seen snow, was almost stunned by joy.
"Aci! Come and eat, aren't you cold?"
White hot air came out of her mouth. Wei Ci's nose tip was slightly red from the cold, and there were drops of ice on her long curly eyelashes. She looked like a person made of ice and snow.
“Here it comes!”
The chubby human-shaped bear staggered into the room, and the hot air hit her face, making her shiver.
"How old are you and still playing in the snow? Aren't you cold?"
It’s cold, how could it not be cold? It feels like there are icy particles in every breath.
"Brother, how can we go winter fishing in this weather? There's so much snow, we can't even see the road. If we go to the ice, won't we freeze right on it?"
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the team has already announced that winter fishing will officially begin before the New Year. All the labor force in the family must participate. Wei Qingfeng, as the accountant of the team, has to accompany them throughout the process to record work points and calculate the total amount. Wei Ci naturally wants to go with them.
"My great-uncle will check the weather. Once the snow stops, he'll probably notify us to start winter fishing."
It was supposed to start at the end of November, but who would have thought that this year's heavy snow would come earlier than ever before and the amount would be heavier than in previous years, catching everyone off guard and forcing the originally scheduled winter fishing date to be postponed again.
Wei Ci's eyes rolled around. Her space had been unexpectedly upgraded, and there was a small river running through it. The water was crystal clear, but it lacked some vitality. It was just that she could take the opportunity of this winter fishing to get some small fish and throw them into the space, so that she and her second brother would have countless fish to eat.
Thinking of her second brother's recent yellow mackerel dumplings and frozen tofu stewed fish, her cravings began to stir again.
After half a month of heavy snow, the entire village was covered with one-meter-deep snow. When the snow stopped, the village, which had been silent for half a month, became bustling again.
Wei Ci casually opened the big wooden door that his second brother couldn't open. After mocking him with his eyes, he was ready to go out triumphantly. However, he slipped and fell directly into the snow.
“Puff~”
This time it was Wei Qingfeng's turn to be laughed at, and the dissatisfied Wei Ci threw a snowball at him.
Looking around, there were few people in the entire village. One could only vaguely hear the laughter of adults and the chatter of children.
It was a vast expanse of white, as if the sky and the earth had no other color.
There was heavy snow everywhere, enough to bury people. The two-meter wooden fence surrounding the yard was also half buried in the snow. Icicles were flashing cold light and hanging high up in strange shapes.
"The snow outside is so thick..."
The brother and sister looked at each other, then smiled helplessly. They could only put on their clothes, pick up their tools and start to clear out a path little by little that was large enough for people to pass through.
Fortunately, Wei Qingfeng cleaned the yard every day, and the snow was not thick. It only covered the feet when stepped on. Using a wooden shovel to shovel out a path, the two began to clean the area in front of the gate. At least they had to clear a path out.
"Qingfeng, are you and Ah Ci sweeping the snow?"
After working hard for a while, the aunt next door stuck her head out and saw the two of them. She smiled and waved a big broom to greet them.
Wei Ci responded by jumping up and down with her gloves raised. She was afraid that if she didn't jump up, the aunt opposite wouldn't be able to see her.
Aunt Wan saw a man in a gray fur hat jumping up and down across the street, and she was amused by it and burst into laughter. The laughter was so loud that before she could react, she heard her son's scream behind her. When she turned around, she saw that the roof that had not been cleaned for two days had collapsed with snow, burying her son who was secretly eating roasted sweet potatoes under the house.
Aunt Wan:……!
Wei Qingfeng:……?
Wei Ci:……? !
“Hahahahahahaha!”
A familiar arrogant laughter came from far away. Wei Ci turned around and saw Wei Qiang wearing a dog-skin hat and a woolen jacket. He stepped on two boards and rushed over, followed by two familiar big dogs.
"Aci! My mom asked me to bring you some sticky rice dumplings!"
As he spoke, he took out a large bag of tightly wrapped and steaming soybean buns from his arms and stuffed them directly into Wei Ci's arms.
Wei Ci's eyes lit up. Sticky rice dumplings? The one they said was delicious?
Wei Ci took it and before she could put it away, just as she was about to take off her gloves to try one, she was pounced on by two dogs the next second. She fell directly into the snow and was instantly buried by it. Only her small feet in sheepskin boots were left flapping in the air.
"Ah! The sky is round and the earth is square! Second brother, help me!"
Hearing their own names, the two dogs became even more excited. Their tails wagged like propellers, and they dove headfirst into the water or rolled over. Their howling sounds could be heard from far away, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"Hahahaha! Little Dumpty!"
Wei Qiang's laughter became more and more arrogant. He took off the skis from his feet and pulled Wei Ci out.
"Tell me, you, where does all that food go? How come you're only growing in brains but not in height? Next time, eat less fish and pig brains and drink more bone soup. If that doesn't work, I'll ask Butcher Zhu to save some pig's trotters for you... Hmm!"
His chatter was interrupted by a snowball. Wei Qiang was so angry that he just made a snowball and started a snowball fight with Wei Ci.
Wei Qingfeng didn't bother to pay attention to the two people who were not as sensible as a three-year-old child, and buried his head in his work.
"Gou'er! Let me help you!"
He almost forgot why he came here. His father said that if he didn't help Wei Ci and his sister clear the snow, he wouldn't have to go back.
