Not counting the furniture, there were so many beddings and clothes used by the family piled together that they could not be pulled by a bullock cart. What's more, the bullock was pulling a sled, which could not hold much stuff.

"Mom, we have everything at home, we don't need to bring so many things with us. Do you think we can leave these at Grandma Luo's house temporarily and only take the clothes we carry with us?" Zhao Li asked with a frown.

Ye Qiulan quickly agreed: "Yes, we have everything at home, so just listen to Li'er."

"Then I'll go to your grandmother Luo's house to ask, and call Guo'er and the others over."

Zhao Li stepped forward and took my mother's arm, saying with a smile, "I'll go with you."

Naturally, Luo would not refuse and asked them to put the things in an empty room. The rice, flour, oil, salt and unused charcoal were also left at Luo's house. Zhou just said that she could not carry so many things and asked them to help use them.

In this way, Zhou and her family only brought a change of clothes for the family and put them on the sled. There was still room to sit on it, so they let the two children, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Guoer, sit on it, while the others walked.

On the sled was the quilt that Zhao Li and the others had used when they came here, which was just right for wrapping the two children. The two children were wrapped up so tightly that if you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell there were two people on top! The group headed for Willow Village in this light and simple manner.

When passing by the door of Lao Zhao's house, Zhou suddenly seemed to remember something and said anxiously, "You go first, I'll go over there and say something and then I'll chase you away."

Having said that, Zhou hurried towards the door of Old Zhao's house.

"Hey~" Zhao Li didn't call anyone, but asked Liu with her hands in her pockets: "Sister-in-law, where is my mother doing?"

Liu shook her head, "I don't know, maybe it's something important."

Boss Ye stopped the ox cart and said, "Then let's wait a while before leaving."

"it is good."

Outside Old Zhao's house, Zhou reached out and knocked on the gate.

It was Li who came to open the door. She muttered as she walked in: "Who is this? Why are you visiting me in such a cold weather..."

As soon as the door opened, "Hey, what a rare visitor! Why are you here at this time, sister-in-law? Are you alone?"

Li looked out and saw Zhou's two sons behind the oxcart in the distance. She had an idea in her mind. She heard that the roof of Zhou's house had collapsed this morning. Seeing the oxcart and Zhao Qian, Li naturally thought that Zhou wanted to move back to live here. Ha! You still want to move back? Dream on!

"Ah, alone." How could Zhou know what Li was thinking? She was about to step into the house, but was stopped by Li: "Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing? This is my home now, how can you just barge in? No entry!" Don't you just want to go to the old lady to plead for you to move back? What a nice thought!

Zhou could only tell the truth: "I'm going in to see my mother and give her the two-month filial piety money in advance." Otherwise, it would be too far to move to Liushu Village and come back later.

Li stood in the doorway, refusing to let Zhou in. "No, my mother is just resting, you can't go in and disturb her!" Giving money in advance? Are you kidding me? Who knows what you are up to!

Zhou: “…”

"Okay then, come to the Ye family in Liushu Village to get the filial piety money for next month." After Zhou said this, she turned around and walked towards the ox cart.

Li realized at this moment that the Ye family seemed to have an oxcart. Could this be the Ye family's oxcart? She thought Zhou had borrowed it from her family. So, she didn't want to move back home, but to move to her daughter's house? Then... Zhou didn't really want to give her mother a gift of filial piety in advance, did she?

"Oh, come back! Oh, come back..." Li stamped her feet in regret. Why don't you just give me the money? Why bother with so much trouble? What's the point of asking me to go to Liushu Village to ask for money? I'm not the one you want to honor!

If Zhou could hear Li's thoughts, she would definitely roll her eyes at her. You still have self-awareness, so I give you money as a gift? Who do you think you are?

The snow on the road was almost above people's knees, and everything was white. Several people waded through the thick snow slowly, digging deep pits with every step.

It was already around 4 or 5 in the afternoon when they got home. As soon as they entered the large courtyard of the Ye family, Zhou and the others were dumbfounded. Is this Li'er's courtyard? They knew that the Ye family had built a brick house, but they dared not even think about such a large courtyard! How much money would it cost!

A path about one meter wide was cleared in the yard. Zhao Li walked in front with one hand holding Zhou and the other hand holding Ye Qiulan. In the middle was Ye Lao Da driving the ox cart, and the Zhao Qian brothers followed at the end.

When Old Lady Ye and a few others heard the noise outside, they all came out to greet them, "You're finally back..." As soon as they went out, they saw, wow, why are there so many people?

Zhao Li poked her hand and said, "Mom, this is my mom. They may have to live with us for a while..."

Ye Qiulan walked up to the old lady and whispered to her briefly about what had happened in the Zhao family.

After hearing this, Old Lady Ye touched her chest in fear and said, "Oh, it's good that he's okay. Thank goodness! It's really the Bodhisattva's blessing, the Bodhisattva's blessing..." Old Lady Ye clasped her hands together and muttered a few words, then instructed her two daughters-in-law, "Lin and Chen, go and clean up a few rooms in the backyard and light the charcoal basin to warm up the rooms first."

"Okay, let's go right away." The two sisters-in-law took the order and immediately went to the backyard to clean up.

"My dear relatives, let's stop standing outside and go into the main room to warm up first." Old Mrs. Ye said enthusiastically.

"Oh, OK." Seeing Old Lady Ye's attitude, Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile. Then she turned around and took Zhao Cheng down from the sled behind.

Old Mrs. Ye took one look and said, "Hey, this is your little grandson, right? He's so handsome! He looks about the same age as my eldest daughter."

Zhou smiled and replied, "Really? My Cheng brother is one year and five months old now. How old is Daya?"

Following behind, Guo'er also quickly jumped off the sled. As a result, as her feet touched the ground, she screamed "Ouch" and fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, Zhao Li was quick to support her, otherwise, she would have had a close contact with the earth!

"What's wrong with Guo'er?" All the people looked at Zhao Guo'er nervously.

"It's okay, it's just that my legs seem to be numb." Being surrounded by so many people, Zhao Guoer couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She stayed there for a while, and finally was supported by Zhao Li as she limped into the main hall, muttering to herself, "It turns out that riding in a bullock cart is so tiring. Ouch, my legs..."

Ye Laoer came over to help unload the luggage from the sled. There wasn't much stuff, so he and his eldest brother could move it all at once. Zhao Qian and the other man couldn't help, so they could only follow him into the main room.
