The fifth room opposite Luo's house.

After breakfast, Yang Huazhou and Dabao were sweeping the snow in the yard.

It snowed all day yesterday, and again last night. The snow in the yard reached up to my calves.

On New Year's Eve, the children ran around playing, having snowball fights, setting off fireworks, and blasting snow with firecrackers. The yard was originally a mess, but snow continued to fall in the second half of the night, covering it all.

So when I woke up this morning, the roof, treetops, and ground were completely white.

The chickens and ducks at home don't dare to let out of their cages, for fear that they will get lost in the white world.

Chickens and ducks can be kept in coops, but people still have to come out and move around, especially on the first day of the new year. This year, the old lady is celebrating the New Year in the fifth room, so the old Wang family has to come over in the morning to pay New Year greetings.

Yang Huazhou got up early in the morning to shovel snow and sweep the yard, but the workload was too heavy and he only finished half of it before it was time for breakfast.

After breakfast, Yang Huazhou took Dabao and Mianmian to shovel the snow together and clear a path in the middle of the yard leading to the courtyard gate.

Bao Suyun was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen and preparing meals for the noon visitors.

Jiang Guiling spends time with her children in the warm room in the backyard.

As for Mr. Tan, after breakfast, she held a small copper stove to warm her hands and frequently came to the yard to look around.

"Dad, why is my mother always looking around in the yard when she leaves the heating bucket in the main room? Isn't she afraid of the cold?"

Dabao asked Yang Huazhou in a low voice.

Yang Huazhou smiled and said while shoveling the snow: "Your grandma is waiting for your aunt and her family!"

Dabao suddenly understood. He thought that Nai was here to supervise the work, but it turned out that he was not.

Mianmian was a little confused: "My aunt fell into the water a few days ago and is still ill. Can she come out to pay New Year's greetings today?"

She looked at the sky. Although the snow had not fallen at the moment, the sky was gray and she was holding back a big move!

Yang Huazhou shook his head: "I don't know if your aunt can come out to pay New Year's greetings. Most likely she won't be able to come."

"If my aunt can't come, wouldn't my grandma be very disappointed?" Mianmian said again.

Yang Huazhong grinned, "There's nothing we can do if we're disappointed. You can't just go visit relatives before your illness is over, right? Catching a cold will make your condition worse."

Mianmian nodded, that was true.

After a while, footsteps and voices were heard outside.

"Could it be my aunt and the others who have arrived?"

Dabao put down the shovel in his hand and was about to pick him up at the entrance of the courtyard, when Tan, who was lingering at the door of the hall, rushed out, "Is it Mei'er and the others?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people passing by the door.

The courtyard door is open. It's brothers Li Jia and Li Yi from Lijia Village, with Li Wei and Li Wei's sister.

The four of them were carrying things in their hands and were heading to Yang Yongjin's house next door.

Seeing Yang Huazhou and his son shoveling snow in the yard, brothers Li A and Li B stopped and raised their hands to say hello to Yang Huazhou, and brother and sister Li Wei also paid verbal New Year greetings to Yang Huazhou.

Yang Huazhou took a few steps forward with a shovel and enthusiastically said "Happy New Year" to them, and then politely greeted them to come home for tea later.

When the elders on both sides were exchanging greetings, Li Wei looked at Mianmian vaguely.

Today, Mianmian wears a light pink cotton-padded jacket on her upper body, a ginkgo yellow high-waisted skirt underneath, and a belt that outlines her slender waist.

The bangs that reach her eyebrows and the hair that reaches her waist stand tall and graceful, like a shining white magnolia in the snow.

Li Wei's heartbeat skipped a beat, and the amazing feeling he felt when he first met Mianmian came out again.

Mianmian also saw Li Wei.

He stood next to his father and uncle, with a tall and straight figure and broad shoulders. Although his skin color was still a little dark as before, he exuded a vigorous atmosphere.

He is obviously not a handsome man like Jiang Xianjun, with red lips and white teeth, but he has another kind of masculine beauty.

Especially when she thought about that time when Jiang Xianjun stopped her by the small bridge behind the village and said some stupid words to prevent her from coming back, it was Li Wei who showed up in time and beat Jiang Xianjun.

This matter was her secret, and she was worried that Li Wei would tell it.

Unexpectedly, Li Wei actually kept silent in a tacit agreement. He didn't even say a word about Xiu Xiu.

Thinking of this, Mianmian couldn't help but smile gratefully at him.

This smile was like thousands of flowers blooming in an instant, and Li Wei was a little unable to recover.

It was his sister who pulled him aside and whispered: "Brother, it's time to go."

Li Wei suddenly came to his senses and followed his father and uncle forward slowly, but he couldn't help but look back to look for Mianmian's figure. Mianmian had already turned around and started shoveling the snow again.

That smile before was short-lived, as if it was just an illusion on his part.

Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Brother, why do you feel so downcast all of a sudden?"

My sister deliberately lagged a few steps behind and asked him in a low voice.

"No." Li Wei said dullly.

The younger sister pouted, "Brother, we are here with you to pay New Year greetings to your father-in-law. Sister-in-law Xiuxiu is still waiting at home. You'd better cheer up and don't ask everyone to worry about you."

On the words "Sister-in-law Xiuxiu", my sister deliberately bit it hard.

Li Wei glanced at her sister. She didn't know whether it was because she felt guilty or something, but she always felt that her sister's eyes were a little different.

And there is something more in this statement.

"I don't have anything, so don't talk nonsense, let alone worry about it."

Li Wei frowned, mumbled something, took a long step away from his sister, and chased after his father and uncle.

The younger sister glanced at the five-bedroom courtyard behind her and sighed softly.

Does the brother think he is pretending to be good? His eyes did not escape his sister's eyes.

My brother likes a girl named Mianmian, and Mianmian is the aunt of my future sister-in-law Xiuxiu.

My brother likes someone he shouldn't like.

Does the brother think that her sister knows nothing?

Wrong. After my brother got engaged to his sister-in-law Xiuxiu, he went to help his aunt in his shop in the town. No doubt he chatted with her about his marriage and heard her talk about the two girls from the Yang family who came to the shop.

While eating there, one of them left behind a bundle.

The aunt asked my brother to give a gift to the girl, but the brother went there for nearly two hours.

When he came back, he was in a mess and his head was bleeding.

No matter how you ask, my brother will refuse to say even a word.

My aunt guessed that 80% of them had something to do with the old Yang girl who left the baggage behind. If my brother didn't tell me, it would be hard for my aunt to ask any more questions.

But the girl's aunt later found out that she was the daughter of the fifth room of Lao Yang's family, named Mianmian.

When my brother got married to the daughter of the old Yang family, my aunt thought at first that she was marrying Mianmian, but to her surprise, she was marrying Mianmian's niece, Xiuxiu.

Originally, the matter was over as it was, and my brother was engaged to Sister-in-law Xiuxiu. The two of them went back and forth. My brother sent firewood to Sister-in-law Xiuxiu's house and helped with the work.
