He touched the cloak and was shocked. "How much did this dress cost? It feels so comfortable. It must be expensive, right?"

Shen Zhi: "Don't ask if it's expensive or not, just put it on first and let me see it."

The moment he put it on, Shen Zhi's eyes lit up. She circled around him and became more and more satisfied the more she looked at it. "It looks great! You look especially handsome in it!"

The saying that clothes make the man is indeed true. Once this dress is put on, the whole person looks dignified.

"Zhizhi...how much does this dress cost?"

"Don't worry, it's not expensive at all. It's just right since you don't have a cloak like this."

"Don't buy me any more in the future. Buy yourself a pretty dress. You don't even have many dresses."

"I'm not interested in clothes. It doesn't matter whether they look good or not."

She straightened his shirt and clapped her hands, "Wear this when you go out next time. It should be able to block the wind."

Although Chu Changfeng didn't quite understand, he knew that this piece of clothing must not be cheap. He could tell the difference just by touching it.

He wanted to take it off, but Shen Zhi wouldn't let him. She sat beside him and stared at him, admiring him for a long time. The more she looked, the more she felt that he had good taste!

Seeing her sparkling eyes, which were filled with him, his heart softened.

At night, there was wind and snow, the sound of the wind echoed among the fields and mountains, and the temperature seemed to drop again.

When she fell asleep, her back was exposed outside the quilt. Shen Zhi couldn't help but get into Chu Changfeng's arms, "Changfeng... I'm cold..."

Chu Changfeng hugged her in a daze, with his arms exposed, and suddenly he felt a chill.

He opened his eyes and checked the window. He forgot to close it tightly, so there was a gap, and he looked outside.

Large chunks of snow were falling and the wind was very strong, which made him feel heavy in the heart.

Why is the snow and wind so strong?

With such bad weather...how can people who go to the training palace survive?

Chu Changfeng woke up instantly.

No, or rather, this kind of weather is hard to bear even for the villagers.

Today's weather is really abnormal.

"Changfeng... Changfeng... what are you doing? Hurry up and hug me, I'm cold..."

Shen Zhi closed her eyes and softly reached out to pull him, "Hold me..."

He sighed, closed the window, and held her in his arms, "Go to sleep."

The next day, Shen Zhi woke up, got up and put on her clothes. She just shivered and didn't want to get up at all because it was too cold.

You just glanced around and didn't see the clothes you found last night.

At this time, the bedroom door opened, and Chu Changfeng came in holding clothes, "Are you awake?"

She nodded.

Chu Changfeng hurried to the bedside and said, "I've roasted all the clothes you wore today. You won't feel cold when you wear them now."

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, feeling sweet in her heart.

After putting on the clothes, she felt warm. She couldn't help squinting her eyes. "So comfortable and warm."

Chu Changfeng touched her head, then picked her up and said, "Let's go."

Shen Zhi pushed his shoulder, "Don't hold me like this, put me down quickly, I'll put on my shoes."

Chu Changfeng: "Don't worry, I've also taken your shoes out to roast. Everyone is still asleep."

Only then did she nestle in his arms with peace of mind.

The two of them sat in front of the kotatsu for quite a while before they were completely warm.

"I'll go outside and see if the temperature dropped again last night. It feels even colder than yesterday."

When I opened the door and walked out, a cold breath hit me in the face and I felt like I was freezing.

And outside there was heavy snow.

I stepped in, almost to my knees.

Shen Zhi was stunned, her brows furrowed. Although she didn't want to believe it, she suddenly realized that there might really be a snowstorm this year.

With such heavy snow and such cold weather, most people had no money to buy warm clothes or charcoal because they had already paid the fees.

How... can I survive this?

What about those who were taken away to the cultivation palace? What should they do?

Chu Changfeng came to her side with a serious look on his face, "Zhizhi... this winter... may be very long, and next year may not be easy."

Shen Zhi's heart trembled.

When Chu Xiaolin Zheng saw the snow outside, he was even more shocked.

They had never seen such heavy snow in all their years.

When Grandpa Lin got up, the adults were preparing New Year's goods and didn't let the little ones get up.

It’s so cold, just lie in bed, you’ll still be cold when you get up.

It was almost noon when Shen Zhi cut several plates of mutton rolls, made fish balls, and prepared various vegetables before waking up the little guy.

Shen Zhi heated up their clothes, so they didn't feel cold when they put on them.

As soon as they got up and entered the main room, they smelled the rich aroma of mutton soup.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

Shen Zhi scooped a bowl of mutton soup for everyone, "After you finish drinking it, let's have some hot pot."

After a bowl of mutton soup, I feel warm all over.

The pot is bubbling and boiling, the mutton is simply dipped in the water and then scooped out, it's so delicious!

"It's delicious! It smells so good!"

After dinner, Grandpa Lin wanted to go to the old house, but no one wanted to let him go.

"Uncle Lin, what are you doing in such cold weather? Stay here and keep warm. We are going to celebrate the New Year together anyway."

"Celebrate the New Year together?"

It was impossible to invite outsiders to celebrate the New Year in one's own home. Grandpa Lin was very embarrassed. Although he refused again and again, Shen Zhi and the others always invited him to come over for dinner.

Now that he no longer makes tofu, he has nothing to do, but they still gave him 200 coins for the New Year.

He felt that he and Mumu had come to seek refuge with others.

I didn't do any work, but I ate a lot.

“Don’t leave!” Chu Jinnian stood in front of him, “Grandpa Lin, you still have to sleep with us tonight. We haven’t finished telling the story from last night yet!”

"Stay. It's so cold. We'll have to slowly light a fire when we get back." Chu Xiao said.

Everyone tried to persuade him, and in the end, Grandpa Lin couldn't refuse their kindness and stayed.

On New Year's Eve, the Chu family began to prepare food early in the morning.

The lunch is simple, after all, we have the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening.

After lunch, Chu Xiao and Chu Changfeng put on thick clothes and went to the river with fishing nets to prepare to catch fresh fish.

The wind on the river was extremely cold, and frost formed on the hair, eyelashes and eyebrows of both the father and son.

After chasing fish by the river for half an hour, I finally caught the net.

The net was filled with small silver fish, a dozen large grass carps, and some river shrimps.

The harvest was not bad!

In addition to these, there are actually a few eels.

"Dad, why don't you throw this back into the river? We never eat it anyway."

"Forget it, let's not throw it away. It's meat after all. If we don't eat it, we can give it to others."

Chu Changfeng nodded and threw everything into the bucket.

They had been out for a long time and the kids at home were kneeling on chairs, leaning against the windows to look out.

"Why don't you come back? You'll be cold soon!"

"Niannian, you guys should sit still and peel garlic when you have nothing to do. They will be back soon."
