After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Xiaoxiao has spent the last few years of spring and autumn in the quiet and simple land of Lijia Village. Although strictly speaking, it is only a few months, it is enough for her heart to take root quietly and blossom with love and adaptation to life here.

Winter is coming quietly, bringing with it a bit of chill, and also bringing the most anticipated scene of the year in Lijia Village - the first snow of winter.

In the early morning, when the first ray of morning light penetrates the thick clouds and gently brushes across the sleeping earth, Lijia Village is gently covered by a thin layer of silver gauze.

Snowflakes, like feathers falling from the sky, land silently on the eaves, branches, fields, and even in every sleeping dream.

Li Xiaoxiao opened the window, and the world in front of her instantly became strange and familiar. She couldn't help but be stunned, and an indescribable excitement and emotion surged in her heart.

She put on the thick cotton coat that Bai had prepared for her, and ran to Bai's room to wake up Li Fang and Li Linlin. "Fang'er, Lin'er, get up quickly, it's snowing!" Li Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

When Li Fang and Li Linlin heard their sister's call, they quickly put on their clothes and ran out.

When they saw the white snow scene, they also laughed happily.

The three of them ran to the yard and started a snowball fight. "Be careful, don't get your clothes wet, or you'll catch a cold." At this time, Bai's voice also came from the kitchen.

"Don't worry, Mom, we know what's going on." Li Xiaoxiao replied with a smile while running.

Laughter and joyful chatter echoed in the courtyard, as if warming the cold air.

Tired of playing, they decided to go to the mountains to have a look. The snowy scenery on the mountain was even more beautiful, with crystal clear icicles hanging on the branches, just like a fairy tale world.

Li Xiaoxiao felt the gentle caress of the snowflakes, her heart filled with happiness.

She knew that this snow not only brought her joy, but also foreshadowed a good harvest next year. In this snowy world, she truly experienced the warmth of home and the beauty of life.

Li Xiaoxiao stood on the mountain and looked towards the village. In the distance, a group of children were playing and fighting in the snow. Their laughter was clear and pleasant, like the most beautiful music in winter.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at them, her heart filled with envy and nostalgia.

She had once been so carefree, but the pressure of life had made her forget that innocence and happiness. But now, in this place full of love and warmth, she seemed to have returned to that carefree childhood.

Her thoughts returned to her mind, and she called Li Fang and Li Linlin in the distance to go down the mountain and go home.

As the sun rose higher, the snow gradually stopped, and the sunlight shone through the clouds, making the snow sparkle.

When Li Xiaoxiao and the other two returned home, Mrs. Bai had already prepared a hot breakfast.

She sat at the table, savoring the meal her mother had prepared, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness. She knew that all this was hard-earned, and she must cherish this hard-earned peace and tranquility.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go to town tomorrow to buy some things to worship your father." Bai said to them.

"Okay, Mom." Li Xiaoxiao said to Bai with a smile.

After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao went to find Lin Bo and asked him if he wanted to go to town tomorrow. It was cold now and villagers generally didn't want to go to town. Lin Bo originally planned not to go, so Li Xiaoxiao suggested renting his ox cart, and Lin Bo agreed.

It's cold now and it looks like it might continue to snow today. Li Xiaoxiao finally made her way to the town and planned to buy more winter supplies. If she went there on foot, she wouldn't be able to bring anything back.

The next morning, Li Xiaoxiao got up and packed up as soon as the sky was just getting light. She also called Li Fang and Li Linlin, "Hurry up and get up, otherwise you will be late and the market will be crowded."

After the three of them washed up, Bai came out with a cloth bag. Li Xiaoxiao took Li Fang and Li Linlin to the village entrance.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Uncle Lin was already waiting there with a ox cart. After the four of them got on the cart, Uncle Lin drove off.

It was really cold that day. The cold wind hitting the face felt like a knife. Li Xiaoxiao held Li Linlin in her arms, and Bai also held Li Fang and let him bury his head in her arms.

Along the way, no one spoke, and the only sounds were the creaking of the oxcart and the whistling of the cold wind. Li Xiaoxiao watched the snow on the road getting thicker and thicker, and she thought about getting to town quickly so that she could buy things and go home early.

Finally, at daybreak, they arrived in town. The market was already crowded with people, all wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, braving the cold to browse. Li Xiaoxiao first bought some paper money, incense, and candles, then some food and vegetables, and some thick clothing for Bai and her siblings. Finally, she spotted someone selling candied haws (tanghulu), so she bought three and shared them with her siblings.

After buying everything, they set off on their journey home. The wind was still cold, but Li Xiaoxiao's heart was warm.

After arriving home, Uncle Lin helped carry the things into the yard. Li Xiaoxiao gave Uncle Lin thirty cents. Thinking that the weather was so cold, people were still willing to take them to the town, Li Xiaoxiao was grateful to Uncle Lin, so she gave him ten more cents. Uncle Lin refused to take more, so Li Xiaoxiao stuffed the money into his arms and went home.

Uncle Lin said to himself, "Xiaoxiao is a good child. I don't know what the Su family is thinking. They are willing to drive away such a good girl..." Then he shook his head and drove the ox cart back home. It was really cold that day!

The next morning, after breakfast, Bai took a basket of paper money, incense and candles and took Li Xiaoxiao and the other two to a small hill east of the village. Most of the villagers were buried here after their death. When they came to a grave mound, Bai stopped.

She put down the basket and said to herself at the grave, "Head, I've brought the children to see you. Are you all right over there..." As she spoke, Bai began to sob. Li Fang and Li Linlin also wanted to cry when they saw her. Li Xiaoxiao, because she was not her original self, was not too sad. She just felt a little blocked in her heart. She gently patted Bai's back and said, "Mom, don't cry. Dad will be sad if he sees you."

After hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said, Mrs. Bai stopped crying. She took out some incense and candles from the basket, lit them, and placed them in front of the grave. She also took out some paper money and started burning it.

Li Xiaoxiao also pulled Li Fang and Li Linlin to kneel in front of the grave and helped Bai burn paper money. Looking at Li Shan's grave, Li Xiaoxiao said silently in his heart, "Dad, don't worry. Since I have taken over this body, I will definitely take good care of mom and my brothers and sisters for you and the previous Li Xiaoxiao, and let them live a good life. Rest in peace." After saying this, Li Xiaoxiao felt a lot more relaxed, as if a string that had been pressing on his heart had been plucked out.

After all the paper money was burned, the family said goodbye to Li Shan and went down the mountain to go home in the cold wind.
