Fu Xin Ci did not speak, she just smiled and waved Qi He back.
Sitting on the donkey cart, Fu Xin Ci propped her chin with one hand and gazed at the hazy sky, wondering when the snow would fall.
And, how were her companions in Dragon City doing?
Her companions in Dragon City were in high spirits. Yesterday, when Xin Ci didn't open the vending machine, there was quite a stir in Dragon City.
Thinking of the base leader's face, as if he hadn't been to the toilet for fifteen days, the companions' moods were as bright as the sky after snow.
"Haha, Xin Jie, what are we eating today?" Fatty Dun was in a good mood, and his appetite also increased.
"How about we have pickled cabbage stewed ribs tonight?"
"Xin Jie, I really love you. How did you know I wanted ribs today?" Xiao Ai hugged Yang Xin Jie and almost gnawed on her.
"No one needs to say anything about each other, everyone is someone who can't live without meat."
"Yes, to eat our fill, stew that half a rib."
With the captain's words, the companions cheered.
Xu Ru Yi suddenly remembered something, "Won't the children next door cry from envy?"
"Whether the children cry or not, I don't know, but we'll strive to make all the residents in the dormitory area drool, every single one of them."
As soon as Xu Jia Can finished speaking, everyone chuckled maliciously. Fatty Dun even let out a few words: "How wicked! But I like it." After saying that, his "aow aow" sound became even louder.
"Hahaha."
The neighbors, a few companions, burst into laughter.
Base Leader: Is this considered making trouble for himself?
Zhang Ning: You forgot how to write "you deserve it."
Xiao Bao: He is the child next door who cried from envy.
"Hahaha."
...
Not long after Fu Xin Ci and the others arrived home, small snowflakes began to flutter down.
At first, it wasn't much, and Yu Er even pulled Qi He to play with him in the yard.
But the snow kept falling, and by evening, only a vast expanse of white remained between heaven and earth.
Grandpa Meng sat on the heated brick bed in his room, chatting with his son by the Kang table.
"Looking at the heavy snow today, I don't know when it will stop."
"Judging by the momentum, it's unlikely to stop tonight."
"Fortunately, we don't lack anything at home, otherwise this heavy snow would be enough to endure."
"That's right. If this snow keeps falling, who knows if some roofs might collapse."
Fu Yu glanced at his worried old father and wanted to say: You don't need to worry so much, we just need to take care of ourselves.
But he knew his old father's temperament better than anyone, so it was better not to say anything more, just listen.
At most, he would help his old father do it.
For dinner, Qi He and Yu Er requested hot pot.
When the large copper pot was brought out, Qi He was the happiest, "Grandpa Meng, ever since we had it once, I've been craving this hot pot."
"Haha, it's not just you who's craving it, we like it too."
"Grandfather, I want to eat too." Yu Er also liked the dishes in the hot pot, especially the seafood, which tasted different from usual.
"Mmm, let's wait for your Uncle Qi. We'll start eating when he arrives."
"Okay." The laughter of children echoed in the room. Qi Yuan Shan, who had already entered the courtyard, could hear it.
As night fell, large snowflakes showed no sign of stopping. People in every household were going onto their roofs to clear the snow, otherwise they would really be afraid of waking up in the middle of the night to find their roofs collapsed under the weight of the snow.
Fu Xin Ci, taking advantage of the unawareness of others, used her vines to clear the snow from the roofs of the main house in front and the small building she lived in.
Later, still feeling a bit uneasy, she went to the front again and cleared the snow from all the roofs in the house.
Heh heh, now that she could mobilize her wood-element ability, she felt like she only left shallow footprints on the snow.
She was having some thoughts now, wondering if her wood-element ability could achieve 'stepping on snow without leaving a trace' after her space upgraded.
Thinking of that possibility, she suddenly felt a bit expectant.
But just thinking about it, how easy was it for the space to upgrade?
Fu Xin Ci had only one thought in her mind before she drifted off into a daze.
Tonight, Grandpa Meng also couldn't sleep. He lifted a corner of the curtain and, using the snow light outside, looked at the two bottles of white wine in his hand.
"Oh my, it's really clear and transparent, looking as pure as spring water."
Grandpa Meng mumbled quietly, afraid of being overheard.
Such good stuff was a filial gift from his granddaughter. His granddaughter had also said that he could only take a small sip, not drink heavily, or she would never give him wine again.
Fortunately, Grandpa Meng's drinking capacity was only enough for a light taste. Even if he had a small drink with his son every night, these two bottles of white wine could last them at least half a month.
Heh heh, his son didn't know yet. He would definitely make his son envious when he took it out tomorrow.
The heavy snow fell all night. The next morning, the heavy snow stopped, and the sky cleared up.
Fu Yu woke up early. After getting dressed, he went to push the front door, only to discover that it was blocked by heavy snow.
"Hey, hey." He shouted a couple of times, but couldn't push the door open.
"Husband?" Fang Shi, who was about to go out with him, thought he was joking, but when she got close, she realized it was true.
"What's going on?"
"How would I know?" Fu Yu thought for a moment, then went into the house, planning to go from the toilet to the side room to see if the side room door could lead outside.
Fortunately, "Wife, this door can go out."
When Fang Shi heard this and was about to go through the side room door, Fu Yu stopped her.
"Wife, the snow outside is too deep. You'd better wait in the house. I'll clear the snow outside the door before you come out."
"Okay." Fang Shi was also afraid of getting snow in her boots, so she readily agreed.
Fu Yu picked up the snow shovel and then heard Meng Qi Cheng knocking on the door from the side house. "Brother Yu, come quickly and help us open the door, we can't get out."
"Yes, Uncle, hurry up and help us open the door." Meng Yu Luo, like Meng Qi Cheng, was looking out from the crack in the door with eager eyes.
"Hey, wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Their commotion woke up Grandpa Meng, Qi He, and Yu Er.
Qi He pushed aside the curtain. The glass window was covered with frost. "Wow, it's so beautiful." Yu Er, who had just woken up, was captivated by the crystal clear, variously shaped frost flowers on the window.
Qi He also thought the frost flowers were beautiful, but he was more concerned about the voices in the courtyard.
He looked through the edge of the glass window and saw that the snow in the courtyard was as high as his waist. He was quite surprised. "My goodness." This was the first time he had seen such thick snow.
Hearing Qi Ge's surprised voice, Yu Er also crawled to the windowsill.
"Wow." Yu Er widened his eyes exaggeratedly. This was also the first time he had seen such thick snow. His little chubby hands kept tapping on the window covered with frost.
