It snowed all night, and the next day the snow was almost knee-deep.

Because it was difficult to move, I definitely couldn't go to work. Fortunately, I had stored enough coal in the shed at home to avoid freezing in the snow and ice.

Wei Shuqing stood in the main room, looking at the snow all over the yard, and couldn't help but sigh. Families who didn't buy enough coal would inevitably suffer from the cold.

She combed her long hair and tied it behind her head, changed into her home floral cotton jacket, and went to the kitchen to light a fire.

A few pieces of charcoal were put on the kitchen stove, and the warm flame burned, driving away the cold, and the room suddenly became warm.

Wei Shuqing took four eggs from the egg drawer, added some seaweed that Wang Chenan brought back, and made a big pot of steaming seaweed and egg soup.

She started kneading the dough again, added the cabbage and pork filling left over from making dumplings, and made a big pot of pies.

Take out the small radishes and pickled vegetables from the pickle jar, cut them into shreds, drizzle them with a little sesame oil, and it becomes a refreshing and delicious side dish.

Only after the food was served in the main room did Wei Shuqing go to call her family to eat.

She also called Wei's father and mother today. It was so cold, and she didn't want her mother to have to touch cold water to make breakfast. "Mom and Dad, you can try my cooking skills. Let's have pie this morning!"

"Okay, it's rare that you get up so early today!" Wei's mother teased her daughter with a smile and pushed the snack box back. She originally wanted to have two pieces of snacks with Wei's father.

Niu Niu and Niu Niu were still sleeping. The Queen Mother put on her cotton jacket and got up. As soon as she got up, there was warm water for washing her face and breakfast, which made her feel warm inside.

"Xiao Wei, thank you for your hard work."

While serving soup to Wang Mu, Wei Shuqing said with a smile, "Mom, come and try my cooking."

Wang Chenan fell ill because he caught a cold last night.

Wei Shuqing was naturally also worried about her husband. She made some egg noodles and brought them to Wang Chen'an's bedside: "Come, eat something first, then take your medicine and go to sleep."

Wang Chenan ate noodles from Wei Shuqing's hand and sighed, "With a sickly child like me at home, the eggs must go down quickly."

Because she felt sorry for him, Wei Shuqing put two poached eggs in his bowl.

Hearing this, Wei Shuqing chuckled: "Our place is quite spacious. After the New Year, we can reclaim two acres of land and raise some chickens. Then eating eggs won't be a big deal."

"That's a good idea." Wang Chenan said, feeding a fried egg to Wei Shuqing, "Try it too."

"I've already eaten, you eat yours!" Wei Shuqing shook her head and refused.

After watching Wang Chenan drink the medicine, she put on her military coat and went to the street with a shovel to sweep the snow.

This is a notice from the street. Every family should send one person to shovel the snow on the street as soon as possible so that traffic can be restored quickly.

"Why are you here, Comrade Wei?" Many people on the street and in the yard knew Wei Shuqing, and they also knew that she was the daughter-in-law of the Wang family.

Doesn’t Doctor Wang usually love his wife very much? Why did he ask his wife to come out and sweep the snow at the critical moment?

Wei Shuqing was afraid that others would misunderstand Wang Chenan, so she said loudly, "My husband Wang insisted on going out to pick me up last night, and now he has a fever! I told him he was weak, but he refused to listen. Now he's sick and it must be so uncomfortable."

"So that's how it is!" Sister Zhao laughed out loud. Her husband was in the army and never came home for years, so it was natural for her to go out and sweep the snow. "I told you that Doctor Wang loves his wife the most."

Xiao Hu, who rented a house nearby, was among the crowd of people sweeping snow. Seeing Wei Shuqing working skillfully while chatting and laughing with the neighbors, he felt extremely sorry.

The gap between people is really huge. Wang Chenan and Wei Shuqing have gained each other's hearts and are now living a happy life, while the eldest daughter Qi Zhifang can only be served by others.

If he had liked Wei Shuqing at the beginning, everything would have been different.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. The snow on their streets was cleared in half a day, but the snow on the main roads had to wait for the government to spread salt.

Wei Shuqing went straight to her room when she got home. She felt relieved when she saw that Wang Chenan's face had become much rosier.

She reached out to touch Wang Chenan's forehead, and it finally wasn't hot anymore: "Would you like some water?"

Wang Chenan shook his head: "I drank seven or eight cups this morning. Mom said you went to shovel snow. Are you cold?"

"It's not cold. I'll keep warm while working." Wei Shuqing said as she changed out of her military coat. "I'll go help Mom cook some food."

She came to the kitchen and while helping Queen Mother pick vegetables, she said, "Mom, spring is almost here. I want to plant some vegetables and raise some chickens."

"Okay." The Queen Mother laughed as she chopped the meat. "Don't you like dogs? Let's get one too."

Wei Shuqing smiled and nodded. She was becoming happier and happier these days.

For lunch, we had pork and fennel stuffed buns and millet porridge.

Naturally, Wei's father and mother were also called to eat together.

"This little bit of fennel was brought by Shuhai," the Queen Mother sighed. "The little bit of food Shuqing asked me to store has saved my life."

Thinking of the basement full of food, the Queen Mother felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Father Wei smiled and said, "Don't we have some sweet potatoes at home? Let's throw some in the oven and roast them this afternoon. Our sweet potatoes are really sweet. Mother-in-law, please try some later."

"Okay, then I'll wait." The Queen Mother said this and she felt a little greedy. Who wouldn't be confused by eating roasted sweet potatoes on a snowy day?

Wei Shuqing prepared a special lunch for Wang Chenan: egg pancakes, stir-fried shredded pork with pickled radish, and millet porridge.

Wang Chenan felt a little embarrassed. His mother was very kind as a grandmother, but she was very strong-willed as a mother. He was often sick, so he had never been treated specially. "Xiao Wei, I'll eat whatever you eat."

"Eat something nutritious and you will get better quickly." Wei Shuqing handed the chopsticks to Wang Chenan and walked aside to review her homework.

The Wang family is harmonious, but the Qi family is unhappy because of the lack of coal.

Because this month's salary hadn't been paid yet, there was no money to buy coal, and the temperature had dropped. Qi Zhifang was very unhappy: "There are elderly people and children at home, and they will definitely freeze to death!"

Seeing that Qi Zhifang was unhappy, Zhao Guoqiang hurried outside to collect firewood and burned the kang vigorously.

In order to please his daughter Fangzi, he also made a pot of mixed noodle dumpling soup with an egg in it.

Needless to say, this egg naturally belongs to Qi Zhifang.

However, the egg happened to be seen by Qi's father. He naturally thought it was for Qi's mother, and without even saying goodbye, he put the egg into Qi's mother's bowl and said, "Xiao Zhao, you are very filial."

He didn't like his son-in-law very much. He was too old and didn't have his own house. If it weren't for his high salary and his willingness to take care of him and his wife, he would have kicked him out long ago.

Now, Zhao Guoqiang was a little embarrassed, because this egg was for Fangzi.
