After finishing, Shen Xiaoyan turned to look at Shen Xiaoming's snow creation. Seeing that his pile of snow still had no shape, she couldn't help but laugh even louder.
She then looked at Zheng Wei and discovered that he had actually used snow to build a "person" shape.
Although it lacked facial features and its body was a bit plump, compared to Shen Xiaoyan's creation, this was undeniably a "person."
Finding it novel, Shen Xiaoyan walked over to examine it closely.
Upon closer inspection, she realized there were two characters on the snowman, written with what appeared to be a finger. From a distance, it was hard to tell what they were.
Shen Xiaoyan looked carefully and discovered that the two characters were "Mi Mi."
Did this mean the snowman was her?
Shen Xiaoyan looked at Zheng Wei, puzzled. Was this his intention?
As she looked up, she met Zheng Wei's smiling eyes and instantly knew her guess was correct.
"Fine, you dare to make me look so ugly, hmph." Shen Xiaoyan finished speaking, turned, and walked away.
Zheng Wei found it strange. Given the woman's temperament, she should have come over to argue. Yet, now she had turned and walked away, which struck him as odd.
Curious, Zheng Wei followed Shen Xiaoyan's footsteps, wanting to see what she intended to do.
He saw Shen Xiaoyan return to her own snowman, squat down, and write two large characters on its belly... "Zheng Wei."
Zheng Wei chuckled, finding her childish behavior amusing.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Xiaoyan asked directly as she looked up and saw the smile on Zheng Wei's face.
Zheng Wei said seriously, "Nothing, I just think your snowman is very well-made."
Shen Xiaoyan was suspicious. She had written his name on the snowman, and this was his reaction?
Well, in reality, it wasn't a big deal. From another perspective, it was a kind of playful affection.
Now that the snowmen were built, they should go inside. It was very cold outside.
She hadn't felt it while running around earlier, but now that she stopped, her hands that had touched the snow were completely numb.
The three of them quickly entered the house, washed their hands with hot water, changed their clothes, and finally, each holding a hand warmer, sat on the heated kangs, shivering for a while until they felt their bodies warm up.
In her previous life, Shen Xiaoyan was neither a northerner nor a southerner; her hometown was in the central region.
It snowed in winter, but heavy snow was rare, and the weather wasn't as cold as in the north. Therefore, in this kind of weather, she found it difficult to stay outside.
However, her playful nature meant that even enduring the cold, she had to run around outside for a while.
Before going to bed that night, it began to snow again. Shen Xiaoyan looked at the softly falling snowflakes outside the window and sighed softly.
"Mimi, what's wrong?" Zheng Wei asked, finding it strange. Didn't this little woman love snow very much? Why the sigh?
"Nothing, I'm just very bored being cooped up in the house day after day," Shen Xiaoyan said listlessly.
Zheng Wei understood. Yes, although she didn't usually run around randomly, the feeling of being confined indoors voluntarily was different from being confined involuntarily.
"How about we go out tomorrow? As long as you don't feel too cold," Zheng Wei asked tentatively. He would do his best to fulfill her every request when possible.
"Go out? Go where? It's all snow outside too, where can we go?" Shen Xiaoyan replied listlessly.
Looking at the thickness of the snow in the courtyard, one could imagine what it was like outside.
Fortunately, their house had a covered walkway. Otherwise, with this much snow, a walk outside would likely result in soaked shoes.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoyan became even more reluctant to go out.
Seeing her low spirits, Zheng Wei didn't say anything more.
In this world, everything had two sides. Not everything could be a complete blessing.
Right up until she fell asleep, Shen Xiaoyan was still contemplating whether she should go out tomorrow or stay home honestly.
As a result, when she woke up the next morning, it was still snowing. This made Shen Xiaoyan completely give up the idea of going out and decided to stay indoors honestly.
After breakfast, Zheng Wei said he had to go out for a bit.
Shen Xiaoyan didn't object or ask what he was going to do. She just told him to dress warmly and walk carefully, and then watched him leave.
After Zheng Wei left, Shen Xiaoming also returned to his own room, taking Lao Hei and Er Hei with him.
In the room, Shen Xiaoyan was suddenly left alone. Looking at the large room, Shen Xiaoyan suddenly felt very lonely.
Luoluo walked in from outside, saw Shen Xiaoyan sitting alone on the kang with a somewhat dejected expression, and quickly ran forward, jumping directly into Shen Xiaoyan's arms.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Whenever Shen Xiaoyan was in a bad mood, Luoluo would be exceptionally well-behaved and, incidentally, call her "Master."
Normally, it was very difficult for Shen Xiaoyan to hear Luoluo call her "Master."
Shen Xiaoyan sighed. "I'm bored."
"How about going into the portable space to take a look? You haven't been there for a long time. I'll watch outside, and if I see them returning, I'll call you out," Luoluo suggested.
Shen Xiaoyan was stunned by this.
Yes, she hadn't been into the portable space for a very long time.
Because she was living with Zheng Wei, and she was busy during the day some time ago, she didn't have time to go in.
When she finally had free time, Zheng Wei was always by her side day and night, making it even more impossible for her to enter the portable space. Now that she thought about it, she hadn't entered the portable space for four months.
Shen Xiaoyan then directly entered the portable space. As Luoluo had said, she left her outside to watch, lest Zheng Wei return or Shen Xiaoming suddenly come looking for her.
Upon entering the portable space, Shen Xiaoyan immediately felt warmth.
The portable space had no seasons; the temperature was always moderate, suitable for crop growth, and made one feel very comfortable.
Although the heated kangs in the room outside were similar in temperature to the portable space, they weren't as comfortable.
Shen Xiaoyan walked around the portable space and looked at the empty land, feeling regretful. Such good land was just lying fallow, a waste.
After walking around the portable space, Shen Xiaoyan finally arrived at the bamboo building.
Sitting in the bamboo building, Shen Xiaoyan felt idle. If she didn't farm, there wasn't much else to do in the portable space.
When Shen Xiaoyan returned to the room, only a short time had actually passed.
Luoluo looked at Shen Xiaoyan's return and asked curiously, "Why did you come out so soon?"
Shen Xiaoyan smiled and said, "There wasn't much to do inside."
After saying this, a spark of inspiration suddenly struck Shen Xiaoyan. The temperature in the portable space was the same as in this room, so perhaps she could grow some vegetables in the room?
Shen Xiaoyan instantly thought of the vegetable greenhouses from her previous life.
