Li Yunqiang came after dinner in the afternoon.

But I'm not here to borrow money, but to apologize.

Mao Xiaosui's ears pricked when he heard what he said.

After hearing what he said, Li Yunshan fell silent. When Li Yunqiang felt uneasy, he said calmly, "Go back and persuade her. Even if we are separated, we are still a family. Don't make it too ugly."

Li Yunqiang's heart skipped a beat. He had been doing this for so many years. When he heard him say this, he always felt that it was a warning.

But he also knew that he had no shame to say anything, so he nodded in agreement.

Li Yunshan then changed his tone, "There really isn't much money left at home. If you are really short, I can lend you a few."

"No need." Li Yunqiang said hurriedly, "I plan to sell grain in the spring. I will have enough by then."

"Okay." He didn't mention it again, and after a few more words, Li Yunqiang left.

Mao Xiaosui went out to the hut. From the yard to the forest, she could only see a foggy area. The tip of her nose was iced. She quickly raised her eyes to see white snowflakes floating in the sky.

The snowflakes fell on the ground and quickly turned into water, and soon large flakes fell down...

Li Yunshan didn't see her come back after being in the house for a long time. When he went out, he saw someone squatting at the door of the courtyard, and a thin layer of snow fell on the ground.

He stared at the back figure for a long time, and finally turned around silently and went home.

This snowfall was so violent that it continued for two days and two nights with no intention of stopping.

The water tank at home has bottomed out, the snow is thick outside, and they live high up. They usually don't feel it, but now they are in trouble.

Li Yunshan was still lying in the house. She hesitated and dug two buckets of snow on the other side of the field.

Pour the snow into a pot and boil it into water, then scoop it into a bucket to settle.

Snow water has a strong earthy smell, even if it has settled.

Li Yunshan tasted it immediately and asked, "No water?"

The sudden snowfall made him forget to store water.

"Gone."

"I'll fight later."

"How can we get there today? It's so slippery that we can't go down, right?"

"Throwing a layer of soil is fine for the moment, but when the sky clears and the sun comes out, and the snow starts to melt, it will be really muddy, and I won't be able to work for several days."

"How did you eat water in previous years when you were so troubled?"

"Water tanks, the water tanks at home are used to store water in winter."

"That's so troublesome."

"There is nothing we can do. The water on the mountain is frozen now. In the summer, people in the village wash their feet, but it can't be used."

"The snow won't stop for a while. It will take time for the sun to come out and bask in it. It will be the same even if the snow stops."

"Sure." He didn't hesitate anymore.

After dinner, Mao Xiaosui made shoes as usual.

She had pasted the soles of two pairs of shoes before, half of which she had finished, but Li Yunshan's had not yet started.

The clay oven was burning hotter and hotter, causing her knee joints to ache from the heat.

Li Yunshan was lying on the bed and suddenly said, "Someone is calling you outside the door."

She also heard the sound now, but she couldn't hear it clearly, so she got up and walked out.

As she got closer, she recognized Qi Yuzhen's voice.

Qi Yuzhen stood outside the door, without even pushing the door open, calling her in a low voice.

"Coming." She responded, and her steps became much faster.

Qi Yuzhen looked anxious outside the door and hurriedly held her hand.

"what happened?"

"Xiao Sui." Qi Yuzhen pulled her aside.

Mao Xiaosui was confused by her nervous look, but he walked over obediently and asked more quietly, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Qi Yuzhen knew there was no one, but she still looked around in panic.

"What's going on?"

"I heard that the third grandma showed Li Yunqiang a girl..."

She was shocked, "Are you... for this?"

Li Yunqiang was certainly not bad looking, Yushu Linfeng was exaggerating a bit, but he was also a young man with good features. She just wondered why she didn't see such thoughts in her before.

Or maybe she didn't pay attention? Mao Xiaosui is unknown.

Qi Yuzhen probably felt ashamed, and pursed her lower lip nervously, her face red and flustered, "Is it true?"

"It should be so. The old lady said it when she came over to ask for money a few days ago."

Qi Yuzhen began to purse her lips vigorously again, looking like she was about to cry.

She didn't say anything, just lowered her head and sobbed quietly.

Mao Xiaosui was really cold. Seeing that she kept silent, he gradually lost his patience. "Does Auntie know what you are thinking? Does she agree?"

Qi Yuzhen shook her head, "My mother thinks that the third grandma is the kind of person who likes to tease people, so she won't let me get married."

"I think your mother is right. You see, she either beat or scolded me. You suffered a lot when you were married. No matter how much you like Li Yunqiang, he still loves his grandma, right?"

"It's different." She whispered, "Third Grandma doesn't like Li Yunshan, so naturally she will hate you too."

"...Why doesn't she like Li Yunshan?" She was unconvinced but could still feel it.

Qi Yuzhen was wondering how she could speak for Li Yunshan. At the moment, she was annoyed and didn't ask, she just held her hand.

"It's useless for you to ask me. Your mother must agree to this."

"Mom doesn't agree." As she said that, she started to cry again.

"Then you can't elope. You agree with Li Yunqiang but you still don't agree."

"How do you think my mother can agree? Although the third grandma is fierce, she is good to Li Yunqiang. After I marry him, I will not embarrass me."

Mao Xiaosui couldn't understand where her confidence came from. Even the time Ding Wenxiu pinched her ears with his dead hand, he was not a kindhearted person.

"If you ask Li Yunqiang to spend more money, he will naturally be willing to do so."

"Third Grandma is definitely not willing."

"Why don't you go in and talk, it's too cold." She stamped her feet so hard that she felt numb from the cold for a while.

"Is Li Yunshan here?"

"Yes, where can he go if he's not at home on this cold day?"

"Then I'm not going."

"What's going on? Are you going back?"

Her eyes are red from crying now, and her mother knows what to say to her when she gets home.

She shook her head.

"..."

After another stalemate for a while, Li Yunshan called her in the yard, and Qi Yuzhen said, "I'll go back first."

She nodded, now not only her feet were numb, but her face was also numb.

She entered the house in one step and then saw Li Yunshan standing behind the door. She felt embarrassed and didn't know how much she had been heard.

"Come in." Li Yunshan passed her and went out.
