She opened her eyes dazedly and found that there was no one in the room, but she could hear people talking outside.

She got up, rubbed her eyes, and put on her clothes. She didn't know if it was Wen Shutang's illusion, but she felt that it was even colder today. She put on a thick coat before pushing the door and going out.

When I opened the door, I saw a woman in a floral cotton coat standing in the yard with her hands in her pockets, talking to Wen Qing.

When the woman saw Wen Shutang, she greeted him warmly: "Sister, you are here too."

Wen Shutang recognized that this woman was the Er Fengniang, Cui Qiuhong, whom he had met last time.

"Sister Qiuhong, why are you here?" She responded with a smile.

"Something happened in the village. My husband is now the village chief and is busy with everything. He asked me to come and pass on the message." Cui Qiuhong looked worried.

Hearing her sigh, Wen Shutang gathered his clothes and asked, "What happened? Why are you so worried?"

"It snowed heavily last night and blocked all the roads. Not only was the road to town blocked, but even the road to the neighboring village was blocked. He asked all the young people in the village to help shovel the snow. That's why I came to call your two brothers."

Wen Yaoshi and Wen Ruizhou changed their clothes and walked out of the house: "Let's go, we are ready."

The three of them left the yard together. Wen Shutang turned his head and looked around but did not see Xiao Yizhuo.

Before she could ask, Wen Qing answered her while getting dressed: "The son-in-law left first, and he saw that you were still asleep so he didn't call you."

"How long will it take to deal with this heavy snow? Dad, are you going too?"

"Of course I will go. Although Dad is old, he is still in good health." Wen Qing laughed heartily.

"There's yesterday's old rice in the pot. When the child wakes up, you four can heat it up and eat it." After saying that, Wen Qing walked out of the yard.

Wen Shutang stood at the door and watched his back gradually disappear under the snow. She noticed that the snow had not stopped yet and there were still small snowflakes floating in the sky.

She felt an inexplicable anxiety in her heart, not knowing where this emotion came from. Just as she frowned and was stunned, Xiao Wan came out of the room rubbing her eyes.

"Mom, is it still snowing?"

"Yes, put on your coat quickly, be careful not to get frozen."

Wen Shutang came back to his senses after hearing the voice. He turned around and looked at Xiao Wan, who was wearing thin clothes, and immediately gave instructions.

After the three children got up, Wen Shutang heated up breakfast for them, then went into the house to accompany Liu Sufen and Zhou Tong.

After a few days of rest, Zhou Tong was able to get out of bed. She sat beside the bed and talked to Liu Sufen.

The two of them smiled as soon as they saw Wen Shutang.

"Xiao Qiu'er, are you awake? Are you cold?" Liu Sufen took her hand and asked her to sit next to her.

"It's quite cold, but the stove is warm in the house, so it's okay."

"This is all thanks to my son-in-law who got up early in the morning to light the stove. You know what, this son-in-law is really hardworking." Liu Sufen praised with a smile.

Zhou Tong also smiled and agreed: "Yes, my little sister is so lucky to have found such a good man."

"It's the same for my sister-in-law. She found a good man like my elder brother." Wen Shutang teased her with a smile.

When talking about Wen Ruizhou, Zhou Tong pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of shyness on her face.

Xiao Wan and Xiao Ye were sitting next to Wen Shutang. Hearing the conversation between them, Xiao Ye raised his hand and spoke.

"I will definitely be a good man in the future."

"That's for sure, and our Xiao Ye will definitely find a good wife in the future, unlike your eccentric second uncle who is still single even though he is already grown up." Liu Sufen touched Xiao Ye's head, with a hint of dissatisfaction towards Wen Yaoshi in her tone.

Wen Yaoshi, who was shoveling snow at the village entrance, suddenly sneezed a few times. He rubbed his nose and wondered if he was not wearing enough.

Wen Shutang couldn't help laughing when he heard what his mother said: "It's useless for mother to worry about this matter. My second brother is not anxious."

"I'm just worried about his leisurely attitude. All the virgins in the village are almost snatched up, but he hasn't made any move yet. He won't even go for a blind date." Liu Sufen sighed helplessly. She was really worried about her second son's marriage.

"What's the big deal? It would be great if my second brother could marry a girl from the town when he makes money in the future."

"That's right, the second son is quite capable and he's not bad looking either. Don't worry, mom. He will definitely have no shortage of girls who like him." Zhou Tong also echoed.

After hearing this, Liu Sufen sighed and said nothing. As a mother, she knew her second son's character best.

In the blink of an eye it was noon, and the white snow looked even more dazzling against the sun.

After Wen Shutang prepared lunch and brought it into the house for Liu Sufen and Zhou Tong, he went to deliver lunch to Xiao Yizhuo and the others.

They haven't come back since the whole morning. I guess they don't even have time for lunch.

She walked to the village entrance with the food and realized how serious the situation was. There were two rows of poplar trees planted at the entrance of the village. Now several tall tree trunks were crushed by the snow. The trunks were lying across the middle of the road, forming a small snow mountain.

Xiao Yizhuo also stood out in the crowd, and Wen Shutang saw his tall figure at a glance.

Xiao Yizhuo caught a glimpse of a petite figure from the corner of his eye. He turned around with the farm tools in his hand and walked towards Wen Shutang: "Why are you here?"

When he approached Wen Shutang, he found that the man's handsome cheeks were red from the cold, and there was also a stiff red on the tip of his ear. It seemed that he was severely frozen.

She raised the food in her hand and said, "I'm here to bring you food. I'm not cold, but you must be frozen." Then she handed him the lunch box.

Xiao Yizhuo took the lunch box with a raised eyebrow, a little surprised. Before he could say anything, a warm palm was directly pressed against his ear, and he suddenly froze.

Wen Shutang looked at the red tips of his ears and reached out to touch them as if possessed. They were indeed very cold.

Meeting Xiao Yizhuo's calm dark eyes, Wen Shutang finally realized what she had done and withdrew her hand a little embarrassedly.

"this..."

"This young couple has such a sweet relationship. Now they are covering their ears. Do you feel bad for them?" Wen Yaoshi popped up from the side, his tone full of joking.

Wen Shutang turned his head and glared at him: "I don't think Second Brother is hungry, and he still has the time to talk nonsense here."

Wen Yaoshi suddenly wilted. His stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time, and his eyes were fixed on the lunch box in Wen Shutang's hand.

Wen Qing and Wen Ruizhou were both amused by his behavior.

Xiao Yizhuo was still standing there looking at Wen Shutang with his eyes flickering. Although Wen Shutang had withdrawn his hand, he felt that the cold air on his ears had been completely dissipated, and there was even a hint of warmth now.

Wen Shutang couldn't ignore Xiao Yizhuo's extremely eye-catching gaze, so he could only stiffly avoid looking at him and ran to the side under the pretext of delivering food to Wen Qing.

Wen Yaoshi had already received his lunch. Seeing her actions, he muttered softly, "Isn't this just shyness?"

The corners of Xiao Yizhuo's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were always on Wen Shutang.

The harmonious atmosphere did not last long. Suddenly, a villager came running from a distance, shouting as he ran: "Oh no, oh no! Something happened on the mountain!"
