Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu heard Cui the Loudspeaker’s words and, instead of showing gratitude, her face darkened. She said, "If you want to mock me, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?!"
Cui the Loudspeaker felt wronged: "Why are you accusing me? I’m offering you advice out of good intentions, not mocking you. Xu family, you can’t behave like this, you know?"
However, Mrs. Xu did not respond, turning to walk towards her own courtyard entrance. She only felt that the villagers chit-chatting by the path were all looking over, more accurately, looking at her. For a moment, she wished she hadn’t run into Cui the Loudspeaker.
Occasional firecracker sounds popped up now and then. Familiar women and men stood in groups chatting along the village road, while lively children ran around in gang formations. In a moment of carelessness, they would slip on the snow and fall.
But almost none of them cried out loud.
They got up and started running again, laughing and chasing after their little friends.
"Big brother, big brother, it’s so fun spending New Year at home!"
Ming Wei and her brother Ming Rui stood at the courtyard entrance. Watching their brother Ming Han and cousin Henghao with other younger cousins hold hands and slide on the snow, the little girl was increasingly eager to join in. She couldn’t help but say to her brother Ming Han, "I want to play too, big brother, can you take me sliding for a while?"
Unexpectedly, Kang Yikai, just coming out of the courtyard, heard this. He casually tugged on the pom-pom of the little girl’s earflap hat, and said with a smile, "Come on, cousin Kai will take you sledding."
"Great! Great!"
Ming Wei clapped her hands in delight and asked her brother Ming Rui, "Big brother, are you coming too?"
Before Ming Rui could respond, Kang Yikai reached out his two hands: "Come on, Luo Mingrui classmate!"
