In December, heavy snow finally came, and the dry earth was slightly moistened.

Early in the morning, Su Yan opened the window, took a deep breath of air, and carefully admired the heavy snow outside.

"Madam! Why are you standing here?"

Rumo walked in from outside with a white head.

Seeing the window wide open, Su Yan just stood in front of it to enjoy the fresh air.

He was so scared that he didn't even bother to brush off the snow. He ran over and closed the window.

He helped Su Yan to sit aside, and then reminded her, "Madam, it's snowing! It's so cold."

"You're in a double condition now. If you catch a cold, it will be no joke!"

Su Yan rubbed her belly carefully and said with a smile, "I know. Go and pat the snow first. If it melts in a while, your clothes will get wet."

Rumo then remembered that there were still snowflakes on his body, and hurried to the outer room to brush them off.

I came back and walked to the brazier in the house and used a fire stick to stir the carbon inside.

Only then did he return to Su Yan.

It was snowing and it was quiet outside.

Su Yan sighed to Rumo who was walking over, "Finally it's snowing! The crops in the fields can be saved."

In these two months, there were only two rains, which eased the drought.

When Su's mother came to see her, she told her that this year's crop yield was expected to decrease.

It’s just in time that such a heavy snow has arrived.

Rumo poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Su Yan, "That's right! This heavy snow came just in time, otherwise there would be trouble next year."

Su Yan took a sip carefully before saying, "Yes! The harvest is not good, and everyone is having a hard time."

Rumo: "That's true. I passed by East Street a few days ago and saw people coming and going. Everyone had sad faces."

Su Yan: "It's almost the New Year, but the crops in the fields are still half dead. Who can be happy?"

"But with this heavy snow, everyone feels better at least. We just hope it lasts longer."

Su Yan turned to look at the window, only to remember that it had been closed by Rumo, so she could not see the scene outside.

He had no choice but to turn around and was about to speak when the door opened and He An came back.

Rumo bowed quickly.

He An asked her to get up, and he took a handkerchief to pat the snow off his body, while talking to Su Yan, "It's snowing so heavily today! Fortunately, Erlang went back two days ago, otherwise it would be difficult to walk in this snow."

After shaking off the snow on his body, he dried the moisture on his body over the brazier before walking over.

He picked up Su Yan's unfinished tea and drank it in one gulp, then poured himself another cup and drank it down in one gulp.

"Hey, we're out of firewood at home. We can't boil water. I'm dying of thirst!"

Su Yan waited for him to finish drinking before saying, "Ask Lao Zhao to buy more. Build a shed in the yard and stock up more."

He An pulled a stool over and sat next to Su Yan. He rubbed his hands to warm them up before carefully caressing her belly.

"Okay, when the snow stops, I'll go find him and ask him to send more to our house."

Then he asked, "Did the child bother you today?"

Su Yan has been pregnant for more than five months. She was already showing signs of pregnancy last month and had fetal movement.

This made the two new parents very happy, so every time He An came back he would greet the children and say a few words.

Su Yan looked down at his head pressed against her abdomen and pushed it away, "What are you doing! There are people here."

He An then remembered that Rumo was still there and quickly stood up.

I have to do it every day when I come back. It’s so easy that I forget about it for a while.

He coughed to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Rumo, you go down first!"

Rumo had not expected the male host's actions and was at a loss as to what to do.

Now when he heard He An's words, he quickly responded "yes" and ran out without looking back.

Seeing that the person had left, He An turned around and pretended nothing had happened and continued to stick to him, "Did the child behave well today?"

So calm?

Su Yan was a little surprised.

The next moment, he glanced at He An's red ears, understood what he meant, and did not expose him.

"They were a bit noisy in the morning, but now they are probably all tired and asleep."

He An listened for a while and found that there was no movement.

But he still patiently spoke a few words to the child through his belly.

Su Yan suddenly felt her stomach swell, as if the child heard his father's voice and turned over inside to greet his father.

He An also felt it, and said to Su Yan in surprise, "There is movement, there is movement!"

Then he added, "My dear daughter, I am your father. Now that you are back, did you miss me?"

Su Yan laughed, "It's not even born yet, but you're calling it a daughter every day. What if it's a son?"

He An didn't care: "A son is fine too, as long as it's our child."

"But," he raised his head to look at Su Yan, "I saw Uncle Wu's granddaughter a few days ago. She was so pretty, fragrant and soft. I didn't want to let go when I held her!"

After saying that, he touched Su Yan's belly with a look of longing, "If it were our daughter, she would definitely be cuter than her!"

Su Yan burst out laughing, "I was wondering why you kept calling me girly these past few days. It turns out you got irritated outside."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Su Yan thought about the business in the store, so she asked He An how things were going recently.

He An frowned, "Not so good. It's winter now, and there aren't many fresh vegetables to sell, except for those two."

"As for grains, they have been selling less and less recently. But I checked other grain stores in the county and found that the prices of grains have gone up."

“I just follow other people’s pricing.”

He thought about the heavy snow again and discussed with Su Yan, "With such a heavy snow, next year's grain supply is somewhat guaranteed. Should we continue to sell less grains like this?"

Su Yan thought about it, but still felt uneasy.

The snow has just started, and it is hard to say how long it will last and how heavy it will be.

She said cautiously, "Let's just keep selling like this. The less money we make, the better. This will give us a way out."

"Besides, didn't my uncle contact the people in his village to sell all the mountain products in our house?"

"It's Chinese New Year, and there are more wealthy people in the county, so there should be a lot of people buying it, right?"

Speaking of this, He An happily said to Su Yan, "That's true. The mountain products from my uncle's village are praised by everyone who buys them. They also bring many repeat customers to our store."

"It's all thanks to these mountain products that we are able to keep our business going, otherwise our business would be even worse."

Su Yan consoled him, "It's okay. We can earn money slowly. This is our first year in business, and we are already much better than others."

"Just keep working hard and things will get better and better."

He An nodded in agreement.

The two chatted about other things until the maid came with the food boxes and served the meal.

It was snowing today, and Grandma He was afraid that the roads would be slippery, so she sent someone to tell her to eat in her room today.

No need to go to the dining room.

After dinner, the heavy snow still did not stop.

He An simply decided not to go back to the store. With such heavy snow, he didn't think anyone would come out to buy anything.

So the two of them just did their own things in the room.

Su Yan has now started her second book.

The previous book, "Surviving in the Wild", was written in two volumes, which were just completed at the end of last month.

Sales have been very good. I heard from Zhao Wan that it has already been sold to the provincial capital.

And it seemed to be taken to a further place.

Su Yan has received more than three hundred taels of silver in royalties so far.
