On the last day of November, it snowed for the first time this winter in Kyoto.

In the minus ten degree weather, water dripping outside turned into ice.

Xinyu Community.

"Hey, Grandpa Cheng, why did you come out on such a cold day? Walk from here and take your time."

When the second child woke up early in the morning, he exclaimed excitedly when he saw the snowflakes falling outside, but then he stopped laughing.

First, Grandma Li on the [-]th floor almost slipped when she went out to buy groceries, and then Uncle Wang on the [-]th floor fell flat on his face. Fortunately, he was young and didn’t hurt his muscles and bones. He got up and limped after a while. I went to work in a hurry.

Then I saw Grandpa Cheng, who was in his seventies. He must have gone downstairs when his nanny was not paying attention. He was wearing a military coat and a locomotive hat on his head. Although he was well-dressed, he was swaying and slippery. The way he came over was still thrilling to see!

This old man, can he still get up after falling?

He quickly ran over and pulled the person into the computer shop.

The second child couldn’t help but sigh, the snow is great, but it’s just too exciting!

Grandma Li sat in the computer shop and looked outside worriedly, "It's snowing so heavily and the roads are so slippery. How can we buy groceries?"

Uncle Liu also came down from upstairs. He held his hands and asked his second son, "You go to buy it and I go to buy it?"

"Does that need to be said? Just stay in the shop, I'll go."

"Your down jacket isn't warm enough, so put on the military coat I gave you."

The second brother put on a half-worn military coat and a hat. He was about to walk out but suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Grandma Li, "What do you want to buy? How about I bring it back together."

Grandma Li's eyes lit up, "Oh, that's a good feeling. Grandma, thank you, Xiaotie."

In order to prevent himself from forgetting, the second child took a pen and wrote down the groceries that Grandma Li wanted to buy.

As soon as I finished memorizing, I saw Grandma Zhu from Building [-] coming in carefully with a cane. When she saw Grandma Li speaking, she asked loudly, "Old Li, have you gone shopping for groceries? How could you get out of here yesterday when the road is so slippery?" It’s raining, it’s snowing today, and it’s all freezing. It hasn’t been so cold this early in the past years.”

"No, you said that if the snow is heavier, it won't be impossible to walk. It's only half a big one, which is the most annoying. Well, Xiaotie happened to go shopping for groceries, so I asked him to bring them to me return."

Grandma Zhu immediately turned to look at the second child.

Yes, one piece.

"What do you want to buy?" The second child continued to write down with a pen and paper.

The nearest vegetable market is not far from the community. Turn right when you go out and walk for ten minutes at most.

Snowflakes were falling, quickly turning the roads and roofs white.

The second child felt quite interesting walking on the snow all the way. When he was approaching the vegetable market, he saw the familiar tricycle again in the corner where the bicycles were parked.

The second child turned around and walked over, lifted the plastic sheet covering the tricycle and took a look. It was still the same as the third child, cabbage, spinach and coriander.

The little girl squatting next to the tricycle with her head hunched raised her head and looked at him with hopeful eyes. Her thin string hat was already covered with white snow, her face was red from the cold, her lips were slightly purple, but her eyes were exceptionally clear.

The second child said, "I want all the food. You wait here for a while while I buy the others. Then you ride with me to the community."

Want it all?

The little girl was stunned, then stood up quickly and said, "Brother, you can't eat so much, this and this."

Today she brought twenty heads of cabbage, a big bag of spinach and a bag of coriander. Even if there were four or five people in his family, he wouldn't be able to eat them all in a short time.

She was afraid that the elder brother who often came to her place to buy groceries was kind-hearted and pitied her, but he couldn't spend money in vain.

The second brother stretched out his hand to brush the snow off her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not the only one who wants it. The road is not good today, and it's inconvenient for some grandparents in our community to go out. I'm buying it for them, and you used to sell it too." It's for them. Just give me a few minutes."

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly into the vegetable market.

The vegetable market, which is usually bustling and noisy, seemed particularly deserted today because of the snow.

The second child quickly followed the list and bought all the vegetables and meat that Grandma Zhu and Grandma Li wanted to buy. He also bought a lot of food that he and Uncle Liu wanted to eat, and then walked out carrying a few big bags.

<divclass="contentadv">"Brother, this way."

The little girl had already pulled the tricycle out of the corner and was waiting at the intersection not far from the market gate. When she saw the second brother coming, she waved and shouted.

In just such a short time, another layer of snow quickly fell on the plastic sheet.

"Brother, put what you bought in here."

The little girl opened the plastic sheet, picked up the bag of spinach and placed it on the cabbage.

The second child didn't refuse. He pushed everything in his hand inside and quickly covered the plastic bag.

"I'll ride, you come up."

After the second child finished speaking, he strode onto the seat of the tricycle and held the handlebars with both hands. When the little girl saw it, she didn't hesitate and quickly jumped up and sat on the side of the car.

Braving the increasingly heavy wind and snow, Lao Er quickly returned to Xinyu with the little girl on a tricycle.

When I entered the gate, I spoke to the security man. The man opened the window, stuck out his head and shouted, "Is it a cabbage? Leave one for me."

The second brother agreed and quickly rode the tricycle under the cover of the door of the computer shop.

"You go in first to warm yourself up, then weigh the dishes later. By the way, what's your name?"

"Brother, my name is Maomao."

"Maomao?" The second child looked at the little girl who was less than [-] meters tall. She wore a beige woolen hat on her head and had round eyes like a kitten. This name is quite vivid!

Maomao stamped her feet on the cement floor outside the computer shop, patted the snow on her body, waited for the second son to come over with the bag, and then followed him in.

As soon as the sliding door opened, the warmth inside rushed in.

"It's because the young man is so agile that he came back so quickly."

Grandma Li held a cup of tea in her hand and looked at Maomao behind her second son with a smile, "Hey, little girl, why are you here? Why are you selling vegetables in such a heavy snow today?"

They all often go to the wet market to buy vegetables. Occasionally, Grandma Li will go to Maomao's stall to buy some cabbage and spinach.

"I rode her tricycle here. What do you need for her to weigh?"

Grandma Zhu asked hurriedly, "What kind of dishes are there?"

Maomao talked about the food she had brought, and then weighed the two grandmothers the amount they wanted at their request.

After a while, people in the community came out and saw vegetables being sold here, and they all came over to ask for some. Although the varieties are relatively simple, excluding the seasoning coriander, they only include cabbage and spinach. You can buy them without going out, which saves trouble.

So in less than an hour, all the dishes that Maomao brought were sold out.

"Come here, have a bowl of soup before leaving."

The second brother cooked spicy soup in the morning. Uncle Liu saw Mr. Cheng there and knew that he liked to drink it, so he brought the pot down from upstairs. As a result, all the old men and women chatting here drank their bowls.

Fortunately, there was a lot of burning, otherwise it wouldn’t have been enough.

He left a bowl for Maomao. The little girl's hands and face were all red from the cold. If she didn't drink something hot to warm herself up, he was really afraid that she would fall down before she could hold on to the house on the way back.

"Thank you, brother. You're welcome."

Maomao took the bowl handed by the second child, picked it up and drank it all in one breath. As a result, she breathed out the spicy food when she put down the bowl, but her body was warmed from the inside out.

Her cat eyes were so bright that she burst into tears.

"If you still have vegetables to sell tomorrow, just bring them over."

"Yeah, okay." Maybe it was because he was annoyed, but Maomao obviously had a thick nasal voice when he agreed.
