The winter of 1972 was exceptionally cold. Si Yang had originally planned to take Xiao Yubao to Xiangcao's house to celebrate the New Year, but she had to give up because of heavy snow blocking the mountain.
Many family members of the military who had originally planned to go home for the New Year chose to stay in the military family compound because of the rare heavy snow.
How heavy was the snow? In just one day and one night, the gate of the military family building was completely blocked by snow and no one could get out.
The military family building where Si Yang lives has six floors, with four households on each floor, and two households on each side of the east and west sides of the corridor.
After winter came, they arranged a snow-clearing duty roster. Every day, two households were responsible for clearing the snow in front of their doors to ensure basic access.
Today it was Si Yang, Qiu Xia and the others' turn, but Pei Tingyu and Qi Jingyan had already taken their annual leave, so it was naturally not up to these women to do the job of shoveling snow.
Pei Tingyu picked up a shovel and was about to go out wearing only a green sweatshirt.
"Baba, Dad, Dad..." Nine-month-old Yubao can already consciously call dad and mom.
When the little guy saw his father was about to go out, his nimble little figure crawled over like a little rocket.
Pei Tingyu smiled helplessly, picked up his son and put him back in the isolation area where he usually played.
"Wait here for Mom. It's too cold outside to take you."
Si Yang was stirring the matsutake and shredded chicken porridge she had cooked in the kitchen. She stuck her head out to remind Pei Tingyu to hurry back as it was time for breakfast.
Pei Tingyu strode out and quickly closed the door, barely preventing 'Little Rocket' from crawling out.
In the corridor, Qi Jingyan and his son just happened to go out with shovels in their hands. Qiu Xia came out with a plate of freshly steamed white buns and was about to give it to Si Yang.
Ever since Si Yang and Qiu Xia became neighbors across the street, the food on the tables for every meal in their two families has been similar. Anyway, the two women always send food to each other.
The two men are no longer surprised, as long as they are happy.
When Qiu Xia pushed the door open and entered Si Yang's house, she happened to push Xiao Yubao, who had chased to the door, and made him fall on his butt.
Little Yubao sat on the ground in a daze. Before he could get angry, he was picked up by Qiu Xia.
"Xiao Yuxiu, do you miss your godmother? I made you some red bean paste buns."
Little Yubao looked at the white steamed bun with his big round eyes, stretched out his little paws to grab it, but was confused by Qiu Xia's rubbing.
"Oh~ What should I do? Xiao Yuxiu is so fragrant and soft, godmother likes it so much."
"Hurry up and have a baby!" Si Yang came out of the kitchen and saw Qiu Xia holding little Yubao in her arms and couldn't let go.
"What if I don't like the one I gave birth to, but I like the one you gave birth to?" Qiu Xia laughed.
"Then I'll give it to you, take it away!"
"Can you bear with it? Even if you can, will Captain Pei agree?"
Si Yang smiled and said, "So I'd better give birth to the baby myself!"
When Xiao Yubao saw his mother coming, he quickly extended his hand to her. This godmother was so enthusiastic that he was a little overwhelmed.
Qiu Xia stopped joking and started talking about serious matters with Si Yang.
She and Si Yang had been "advertising" the clothes they made for almost half a year, and it finally worked.
