Lin Cuiying glanced at him and said, "We have to persevere no matter how cold it is. We need to earn as much money as possible before the New Year so we can have a good holiday."
Hearing this, Lin Tiandong perked up, "Sister, you're right. We have to keep going!"
The two arrived in town and set up their stall.
It was indeed much colder than usual today, and there were far fewer people on the streets.
However, Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong were not discouraged and continued to greet passersby warmly.
Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong packed up their stall and prepared to go home.
"Sister, how's business today?" Lin Tiandong asked.
Lin Cuiying nodded. "Yes, it's better than I expected."
As they talked, the two began their journey home.
Just then, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky.
"It's snowing!" Lin Tiandong exclaimed.
Lin Cuiying looked up and saw, sure enough, white snowflakes were falling from the sky.
"This is bad, the snow is falling heavier and heavier, we have to get home quickly." Lin Cuiying said anxiously.
The two quickened their pace and hurried forward.
However, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground.
The cold wind howled, and snowflakes stung their faces.
"Sister, the snow is too heavy, what should we do?" Lin Tiandong was a little panicked.
Lin Cuiying gritted her teeth, "No matter what, we have to get home quickly."
The two trudged forward, the snow on the road already reaching above their ankles.
"Sister, I can't see clearly anymore, I can't even see the road," Lin Tiandong shouted.
Lin Cuiying was also anxious, but she forced herself to calm down.
"Tian Dong, stay close to me, don't get lost," she shouted.
Lin Tiandong responded and followed closely behind Lin Cuiying.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, turning the world into a vast expanse of white.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong walked forward with difficulty, each step extremely difficult.
"Sister, are we going to get lost?" Lin Tiandong's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Cuiying did not answer; she knew very well that she wouldn't get lost because she had a map.
However, even though she could follow the map, she wasn't sure if she could get home safely in this weather.
"Tian Dong, don't be afraid. We'll definitely get home," Lin Cuiying said firmly.
Lin Tiandong felt a little more at ease after hearing this.
He trusted Lin Cuiying; she had always been his pillar of support.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the wind grew stronger and stronger.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong could barely open their eyes; they could only move forward by feeling.
Suddenly, Lin Tiandong slipped and fell to the ground.
"Tian Dong!" Lin Cuiying exclaimed and quickly reached out to pull him.
Lin Tiandong struggled to his feet. "Sister, I'm fine."
Lin Cuiying looked at Lin Tiandong and noticed that his cotton-padded coat was soaked through and his face was blue from the cold.
"Tian Dong, are you cold?" she asked with concern.
Lin Tiandong shook his head. "I'm fine, sister. We need to leave quickly."
Lin Cuiying gritted her teeth and continued walking forward.
Lin Tiandong followed closely behind her, and the two of them struggled to move forward.
In the wind and snow, their figures appeared so small, yet so resolute.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Cuiying suddenly stopped.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Lin Tiandong asked, puzzled.
Lin Cuiying did not answer. She looked around carefully and found that there seemed to be a cave in front of her.
"Tian Dong, look ahead," she said, pointing ahead.
Lin Tiandong looked in the direction she was pointing and indeed saw a cave ahead.
"Sister, do you mean we should hide in a cave?" he asked.
Lin Cuiying nodded. "The snow is too heavy now, we need to find somewhere to take shelter. We'll leave when the snow lightens up a bit."
Lin Tiandong listened and thought it made sense.
So the two of them struggled to the cave entrance and crawled inside.
Although the cave was somewhat dark, it was at least a safe haven from the wind and snow.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Tiandong leaned against the cave wall, panting heavily.
They were exhausted; the journey had nearly drained their strength.
"Sister, how long do we have to wait here?" Lin Tiandong asked.
Lin Cuiying looked outside and said, "I don't know. We'll leave when the snow lightens up a bit."
Lin Tiandong didn't say anything more. He closed his eyes and rested.
Lin Cuiying then asked the system, "How much longer will this snow continue?"
"Given the current situation, it'll probably rain for another two or three days," Doubi replied.
Lin Cuiying felt a little anxious after hearing this.
She couldn't help but complain to the system, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you warn me in advance about this kind of weather?"
The goofy guy chuckled, "Host, don't blame me. The weather is harder to predict than a woman's mind, how could I possibly know?"
Lin Cuiying rolled her eyes. "Your system is really unreliable."
"Host, don't say that. Although I can be unreliable at times, I can still come in handy at crucial moments."
You know you're unreliable.
Lin Cuiying ignored the system and walked out of the cave to find some firewood.
Outside the cave, the cold wind howled and snowflakes danced in the air.
Lin Cuiying shivered from the cold. She found some firewood and went back into the cave to light it.
The firelight illuminated the cave and also Lin Cuiying's face.
She sat at the entrance of the cave, warming herself by the fire, looking at the snow outside, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"I haven't seen snow like this in a long time."
At this moment, Lin Tiandong also woke up. "Sister, go find some firewood?"
Lin Cuiying nodded, looking at the snow outside, "I haven't seen such heavy snow in a long time."
Lin Tiandong also sighed, "Yes, the last time it snowed this heavily was when I was a child."
"Time flies! In the blink of an eye, Lan and Ju are almost all grown up." Lin Tiandong stretched.
"Yes, time flies." Lin Cuiying smiled. "Tiandong, are you thinking about getting married too?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tiandong's face flashed with embarrassment. "Sis, what are you saying?"
Actually, Chen had previously asked a matchmaker to come, but Lin Tiandong absolutely refused.
Lin Cuiying privately asked Lin Tiandong if he had someone he liked.
Lin Tiandong stammered, and finally only said, "There's no suitable one."
Lin Cuiying did not ask any further questions.
After all, marriage is something that depends on fate.
The two sat by the fire at the entrance of the cave, chatting idly.
Unbeknownst to her, the snow outside was falling heavier and heavier. Looking outside, Lin Cuiying couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Just then, a black dot appeared in the distance, and Lin Tiandong asked Lin Cuiying to take a closer look.
Lin Cuiying squinted and stared at it carefully for a long time.
Unfortunately, the snow was falling too heavily, and she couldn't see what the black dot was at all.
However, the black dot was getting closer and closer to them.
