The winter nights are long, and the wind and snow are quietly coming.

The post house is in disrepair, many of the windows are not made of wood, and when the night wind blows, you can always hear the sound of babbling and shaking.

The cold wind slipped in through the crack in the window.

There are no lights in the house, but the snow outside the window is reflected in the room, and some afterimages can be seen inside the house.

Li Huaize woke up from his sleep and felt the warmth in his chest, he lowered his head slightly, and carefully brushed away the strands of hair, revealing someone's beautiful sleeping face.

Unconsciously, Li Huaize showed a faint smile on his face.

He tiptoed out of bed, and then helped Yu Mian tuck the corners of the quilt, and then slowly walked out of the room.

Li Huaize went to the next door, the door was not locked, and it opened with a light push.

There were a few faint fires reflected in the room.

Li Huaize went in to check the doors and windows, and then came to the bedside to see the children's sleeping faces, and his heart involuntarily became a little more relieved.

The children are afraid of the cold, so the house is warm with charcoal fire, and it is not cold if it is not far from the bedside.

"Uncle?"

In a daze, San Bao saw a dark shadow beside the bed, so he propped up his upper body and called out.

Li Wice immediately made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "Sleep, I'll come and see you." ”

With a slight smile on his face, Sambo nodded, and lay back down.

Li Huaize added some charcoal fire to the children before leaving the room.

When he left, he did not close the door of the house as he came, after all, there was a charcoal fire in the house, and the children slept in it, so he had to be more careful.

At the very least, let the room breathe.

After doing this, Li Huaize returned to the room where he and Yu Mian were located.

Yu Mian didn't wake up, just changed the direction and lay on his side, he gently lay back on the bed, and the person next to him seemed to sense it, and he rubbed it over.

Li Huaize held her in his arms, and his heart was as relieved as ever.

Li Huaize closed his eyes, thinking that he could take her to play in the snow with the children tomorrow.

In previous years, when it snowed, children always felt lost.

When they saw other children running and playing in the snow, they were very envious.

Because there are not enough cotton clothes, children will always feel cold after standing outside for a long time, and if they play in the snow, they may have frostbite on their hands and face.

It doesn't taste good.

In addition, Li Huaice's body is not good, and he can't easily accompany them to play in the snow.

So, over time, the children don't expect snow anymore.

But things are different now.

The next day, the snow was shining, and there was a scene of plain silver everywhere.

Yu Mian got up early and found out one after another thick cotton clothes from the suitcase, which she had prepared before, and waited for the temperature to drop before taking them out for the children to wear.

Yu Mian stood by the bed and prepared his clothes, and did not forget to remind Li Huaice.

"You also remember to dress thicker, today is the first snow, I think the children must be very happy, let's take them out to play in the snow."

"Okay."

Li Huaize had expected it in his heart, and responded with a smile.

Yu Mianhuan happily picked up her clothes and was about to go to find the children, but she didn't expect an excited call suddenly from outside the house.

"Auntie! Brother-in-law! ”

"It's snowing outside!"

The children stood at the door and were not in a hurry to get in.

Li Huaize smiled at Yu Mian, then walked to the door, and said with a smile: "Come in, your aunt is preparing thick cotton clothes for you." ”

The doors opened wide and the children rushed in one by one, each with a smile of excitement on their faces.

"Cotton clothes? Did my aunt give us new clothes? My sister asked hurriedly.

Yu Mian came over with a cotton coat and said, "Auntie was planning to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come faster!" Now that you're here, why don't you try on new clothes! ”

"Yay! I'll come first! ”

The younger sister rushed ahead again.

Yu Mian hurriedly took out a crimson delicate cotton coat and handed the remaining few to Li Huaice.

Sambo's legs and feet were inconvenient and he didn't come.

Yu Mian said to Li Huaice: "You take the children to change clothes next door, presumably Sanbao needs your help, and I will help Xixi change here." ”

"Okay."

Li Huaize was just about to take over the cotton clothes, but was preempted by Erbao.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Erbao smiled and said, "I'll just help hold it, uncle come with me." ”

Look at these little dolls, one by one.

Yu Mian couldn't help but smile, then squatted down and said, "Come, Auntie will help you change into new clothes!" ”

It's just a change of clothes, and it won't take much time.

At this moment, the scene in the hall downstairs is also very lively, and the miscellaneous servants and errands are gathered in one place, very happy about this first snow.

"The first snow of the year came early."

"It's a little early, but there is still more than half a month to go before the New Year, and I'm quite happy to see it."

"Yes, yes, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, I believe there will be countless good days next year!"

Everyone laughed, and the hall was filled with laughter.

Suddenly, a rickety carriage appeared in the wind and snow, and appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Eh, look, whose carriage is that?" Someone asked.

As the words fell, everyone crowded in front of the window and looked into the distance.

Someone said: "Lord Qian went out this morning, calculate the time, he should be back." ”

"Lord Qian is out? With such a big snowstorm today, what is he doing out? I'm not afraid of freezing. ”

"I guess I'm back, hurry up! Go get two more charcoal pots, it's rare to be so lively today, but you can't freeze everyone. ”

The house was busy and lively, and Qian Ruming drove the carriage and slowly stopped.

The handyman at the inn immediately went out to meet him, took the cold whip from his hand, and led the horse to the backyard.

Qian Ruming was wearing a black cotton coat, the beard on his chin was frozen with a layer of ice ballast, and even the top of his head was covered in snow, looking very embarrassed.

While dusting off the falling snow on his body, he walked into the house, and without looking back, he shouted at the handyman, "There are still things on the car, remember to unload them all in a moment." ”

"Okay!"

The handyman replied and was shut out of the door.

"Lord Qian, you're back!"

Welcomed people into the house, and the people inside hurriedly closed the door.

Someone came over with a brazier and smiled at Qian Ruming: "My lord, come over and bake the fire." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Qian Ruming took out a piece of Supa from his arms, wiped his face and hands, and then moved to the side of the charcoal basin and stretched out his hand to roast the fire.

There was a man next to him: "It's not early, and I don't know what food is prepared in the kitchen today, so it's better to let them boil some hot soup, everyone will be warm after eating." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people immediately echoed it.

Qian Ruming slowed down, smiled and waved his hand, and then said to everyone: "I just went to the market to buy some pork bones and mutton," the amount is not much, but it is enough for us to stew a pot of hot soup to drink, today I invite everyone to eat a hot pot!"
