"How about I take you there tomorrow? We have a car at the factory, so it's convenient to drive there."
Fu Sinian was still worried and wanted to send Lin Siya
"How can that be possible? Oh, don't worry, I've come up with a good way to ensure that you won't fall when riding a bicycle."
"Oh, what's the good idea?"
"The solution is actually very simple. Just tie anti-slip hemp ropes to the wheels of your bicycle to increase the friction between the wheels and the ground, so that you won't fall easily."
After hearing Lin Siya's idea, Fu Sinian was very surprised, and at the same time his eyes lit up. How could he not have thought of the idea of increasing the friction between the car and the ground? It was a good thing that he had studied physics.
Fu Sinian immediately said that he would tie the hemp rope to Lin Siya's wheels. Lin Siya did not stop him and went directly to the storage room to find a bundle of hemp rope for him.
Fu Sinian took the hemp rope and carefully tied both tires.
"Come on, try it."
Lin Siya pushed the bike in the yard and rode it for a while. As she expected, the anti-slip effect was quite good. It was a pity that the hemp rope was not durable. It might be better if it was replaced with an iron chain, but the current situation did not allow it. It was already very good like this. At worst, she could change the hemp rope every day.
"It works great. We just happen to have a lot of twine left here. You can tie your car up with it too. It will be safer when you go back later."
After hearing this, Fu Sinian thought it made sense and also tied up his bicycle with a hemp rope.
Looking at the two unique bicycles, they both smiled at the same time.
"Anian, I have good news to tell you!" Lin Siya couldn't help but share.
"Oh, what's the good news?"
"Thump, thump, thump, look."
Lin Siya brought the comic book sample sent by the newspaper to Fu Sinian.
Fu Sinian took it and looked at it, his eyes immediately lit up.
“Is this published?”
"Yes, it was published last month, but I was too busy last time to tell you. This comic book is selling extremely well. I received a letter from the newspaper yesterday saying that they need to reprint it!"
Seeing the girl's proud look, Fu Sinian was sincerely happy for her.
"Great! I have to buy this book!"
"No need to buy it, I'll give it to you. This is a sample book, one of a kind!"
"Thank you so much. I came here today because I have good news to tell you."
"Oh, what is it?"
"The materials you gave me yesterday, Yang Bo went to Beijing today. I asked him to take them with him and hand them over directly to my grandfather. I also called him and told him the importance of this matter. Grandpa said he would take it seriously."
"Really? That's great!"
Both of them shared their good news as they watched the snow falling heavier outside and a thick layer of snow accumulating in the yard.
"It looks like you can't go back today."
Lin Siya looked at Fu Sinian with a smile.
Fu Sinian didn't expect that it would snow so heavily at night. Seeing the little girl's teasing face, he rubbed her head in annoyance.
"I'm just concerned about you. I didn't expect it would snow so heavily tonight. Comrade Lin Siya, please have pity on me and let me stay for one night."
"Alright, since you're so pitiful, I'll lend you my guest room."
"I thank Comrade Lin Siya for taking me in. I shall repay your kindness."
As he said this, Fu Sinian pretended to bow.
"Haha, Anian, you're so funny."
The two of them laughed and joked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they went to clean up the guest room together.
The weather was too cold, so Lin Siya gave him a charcoal brazier and told him to open the doors and windows when using it to avoid poisoning.
At night, perhaps because the person she liked was sleeping next door, Lin Siya inexplicably felt that she slept particularly soundly.
In the middle of the night, Lin Siya felt a chill and the quilt was not warm no matter how hard she slept.
It was unexpectedly bright outside the window. Lin Siya reached out and turned on the light. She looked at her watch and found that it was only three o'clock in the morning.
The charcoal brazier in the house had long been extinguished, no wonder it was so cold.
She climbed out of bed, put on a down jacket, and relit the brazier.
When both braziers were burning, the temperature in the room gradually began to rise.
Lin Siya then looked outside through the window. She was shocked when she saw it. Snowflakes were still falling, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, which was about to reach the window.
And the snow has been falling, although not as heavy as at the beginning, but given the current situation, it won’t flood the entire window, right?
The most serious problem now is that if I wait until dawn, I may not be able to open the door.
At this time, the lights in the guest room next door also came on, and it seemed that Fu Sinian was also woken up by the cold.
Lin Siya opened the window in the cold wind. Outside the window was a sea of white snow, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Fu Sinian, Fu Sinian, are you awake?"
The window next door opened, and Fu Sinian, wearing a cotton jacket, stuck his head out.
"I'm awake, how are you?"
"I'm fine, the charcoal brazier just went out. I've relit it now. You have a spare charcoal fire in your room. Please relight it. It's really cold today."
"Okay, I understand. Hurry and close the window."
What should we do now? We won't be able to leave the house tomorrow if this continues.
"I can't take care of all that right now. I'll get up and clear the snow off the windows so you can open them early in the morning. Go back to sleep."
"Oh, how can I sleep like this? I'll get up and help too."
Lin Siya felt that she would definitely not be able to sleep. She didn't want to be buried in the snow in the house. That would be too scary.
Fortunately, the house is made of bricks and tiles and is relatively sturdy. Lin Siya couldn't imagine how many families would be buried in the snow on this night.
Lin Siya got dressed, walked to the door, tried to push it, but found that it could not be opened at all. Recalling the scene she had just seen through the window, Lin Siya predicted that the snow should be more than 1 meter deep.
It looked like the only solution now was to go through the window. Fortunately, Fu Sinian had asked him to place shovels in the house and the guest room to prevent this from happening. At the time, he had thought it was unnecessary, but now he was just thankful.
If I didn’t have a shovel, I would probably be digging the snow with my bare hands.
Pushing open the window, Lin Siya discovered that Fu Sinian had already started to act.
Two people took shovels and shoveled the snow out from under the window. At first, it was only a small area. Slowly, most of the snow around the window fell away. Lin Siya climbed out of the window directly and dug the snow even harder.
In the silent night, there were only the falling snowflakes and two young men waving their shovels vigorously, slowly digging out a passage.
