Although my grandmother is a bit of a naughty child, she would not easily do something like braving the snow to come to the countryside to celebrate the New Year with him.

"It's not annoying, grandma just thinks it's better for us to avoid this critical period." Seeing the difficulty on Guan Shuli's face, Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "Don't think too much. It happened decades ago. If we live our lives honestly, nothing will happen."

Talking about Uncle Qin again: "You should learn from Uncle Qin and live a carefree life like him."

After hearing this, the clerk Guan thought of Uncle Qin and laughed, but said, "We can't live like him, otherwise we won't be able to live such a comfortable life. But grandma is right, it's all old news. If we don't get involved and just live our own lives, nothing will happen."

Seeing that her grandson's mind was relieved, Mrs. Guan said happily, "Come on, take grandma to this town for a walk."

The clerk Guan had a headache: "Grandma, you have been tired all the way, take a rest first, and go shopping tomorrow."

"I'm afraid no one will open the shop tomorrow, so let's go shopping today." Old Madam Guan ignored him and got up and left.

Guan Shuli had no choice but to put on his thick cloak for going out and follow Madam Guan to see the deserted streets.

……

As soon as Grandpa Qin and his friends returned to the village, they told them about Madam Guan's visit to the town, and added, "We came in a hurry, and many things are missing. We have to bring two more carts of things... We gave them five taels of gold, which can be exchanged for at least fifty taels of silver."

"Madam Guan is here?" Grandma Qin was surprised and quickly called Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin, and Grandma Zhu, "Madam Guan has helped our family before. Let's go and prepare things."

Aunt Qin was upset and said, "Mother-in-law, although the Guan family gave us money, the roads are blocked by heavy snow now. Food and daily necessities are more valuable than gold. They have already given us two carts of gifts. Why do you want to give more? Do you think we can live off a favor for the rest of our lives?"

Before Grandma Qin could say anything, Uncle Qin jumped out and scolded: "You ignorant woman, the kindness of Old Madam Guan is worth our family's lifetime of repayment. Stop dithering, hurry up and go prepare things with mother!"

Aunt Qin understood without even Uncle Qin winking at her... Madam Guan must be extremely rich, otherwise her husband wouldn't be so attentive.

"Yes, I'll prepare it right away." Second Aunt Qin followed Grandma Qin and the others to prepare four more baskets of things.

There were slaughtered chickens, fried fish fillets, raw meat, half a basket of eggs and dried goods. Grandma Qin also packed two pieces of lotus root and a small bag of dried lettuce.

"The people from Xue's family who came to deliver New Year's goods said that this dried lettuce is very crisp and is a rare green vegetable in winter."

They also packed some staple foods such as yellow rice cakes, dumplings, rice noodles, and a jar of animal oil.

After Grandma Qin and the others were ready, Grandpa Qin and his friends also loaded a cart and a half of firewood.

Aunt Qin felt heartbroken and asked Uncle Qin quietly, "There are four carts of stuff in total, but only five taels of gold. Our family is at a loss."

Uncle Qin: "It's not a loss... The old lady is wearing a mink fur coat, which is a very expensive item worth several thousand taels. If we flatter her, we will earn it back in the future."

What the hell?

A sable fur coat costs several thousand taels!

Aunt Qin's eyes widened in shock: "That old lady is just walking around in her mink coat? Isn't she afraid of being robbed?"

She wants to rob the mink fur coat now!

"My husband, I'll go too... the more people there are, the more gifts we can bring." Aunt Qin had even found an excuse for herself: "I'll take Bai Ying with me and ask her to check Madam Guan's pulse. She's been through the cold all the way here, so she shouldn't take her pulse and take some cold-repelling medicine, right?"

"That's a good reason." Uncle Qin immediately went to tell Grandpa Qin.

Grandpa Qin agreed, but was afraid that Xiao Baiying's medical skills were not good enough, so he brought Old Man Xun along as well.

A group of people and two cars were heading towards the town.

When they arrived at the house at the west entrance of the town, Madam Guan was really scared.

Madam Guan lived up to Second Aunt Qin's expectations and gave her a round golden hairpin as a gift: "From now on, your life will be perfect."

Aunt Qin was very happy: "Thank you, Madam Guan. You are indeed a lady from a wealthy family. You speak in a pleasant way. I have little education, so my words are not so pleasant to the ears. I will have to learn a lot from you in the future."

Is this the future? You are really good at taking advantage of others!

He was afraid that being too flattering would annoy Madam Guan, so he quickly told her that he had brought two doctors, one old and one young.

Guan Shuli was very grateful and begged Madam Guan: "Grandma, please let the doctor see you, otherwise I will be worried."

Madam Guan: "Okay, call the two doctors in."

Old Man Xun and Xiao Baiying examined Madam Guan's pulse and said, "The old lady is a wealthy person and has a good body. She just needs to drink some ginger tea to dispel the cold and have a good sleep."

However, in order to prevent any unexpected events, Old Man Xun prescribed a dose of medicine to dispel the cold, relieve cough and reduce high fever, just in case.

These gifts and medicines were worth more than five taels of gold. Old Madam Guan was embarrassed and took out two palm-sized purses: "There are some gold nuggets in them. They are considered as New Year's money for the children at home."

"Thank you, old lady." Aunt Qin was not polite at all. She accepted it hastily and was very happy... It was so heavy, it must weigh two taels in total, plus the gold hairpin, this trip was worth it!

Grandpa Qin looked at the sky outside and didn't dare to stay any longer, so he said goodbye quickly.

Guan Shuli was very grateful and personally saw them out.

However, Grandpa Qin did not return to the village immediately, but went into the town to see Huang Yanglong and Xiaobai.

Now Huang Yanglong no longer lives in the restaurant. He lives with Manager Xue and others in the Xue family's house, and is currently making a snowman.

It was his first time to build a snowman, and he was very excited. When he saw Grandpa Qin and the others, he immediately called out to them, "Grandpa Qin, Brother Jiang, come and see my Snow General. Isn't he very majestic and domineering?"

Uh, Grandpa Qin and the others looked at the thing, their mouths twitched, and they praised against their will: "It's quite, domineering."

"Hahaha, you really have good taste!" Huang Yanglong was very proud, but Old Man Xun couldn't help but remind him: "Master Huang, don't play in the snow, otherwise you will get frostbite on your hands when you wake up tomorrow."

As soon as he said this, Huang Yanglong felt his toes itching. He glared at Old Man Xun and said angrily, "Why did you bring this up? I had forgotten about it, but now that you mentioned it, I feel itchy all over my body!"

Old Man Xun continued to remind him: "Also, don't look at the snow too much, otherwise you will get snow blindness."

Huang Yanglong was furious: "This lousy Northeast Province is freezing cold, but playing in the snow can cause so many diseases!"

"Young Master Huang, don't be angry." Grandpa Qin coaxed Huang Yanglong and said to Old Man Xun, "Old Xun, go check on Young Master Huang's feet. At least make sure he doesn't itch too much during the New Year."

"Yes." Old man Xun called Huang Yanglong into the house.

But Huang Yanglong refused to go in.

Xiaobai had no choice but to carry him into the house, take off his shoes and let Mr. Xun see his feet.

After examining him, Old Man Xun left him a few packets of medicine, gave him some more instructions, and then followed Grandpa Qin home.

On the way back to the village, the cold wind intensified and the temperature dropped again. Soon, sporadic snowflakes fell from the sky.
