It was Su Zhihao who took action first. He made a few snowballs and threw them at the dazed Su Zhicheng.

Su Zhicheng was stunned for a moment after being hit, but after he came to his senses, he started making snowballs to fight back.

After a while, the cousins ​​started fighting, and snowflakes began to fall in the yard again.

Su Yuanyuan heard the noise in the yard from her room and knew they were having a snowball fight.

Su Yuanyuan asked Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao to put on their clothes, saying, "Sister, sister, hurry up and put on more clothes. Let's go out and play in the snow." As she spoke, she wrapped herself tightly.

Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao were also jealous when they saw the snow outside. This was the first time they had seen such heavy snow since they were young. It would be a lie to say that they didn't want to go out and play. In fact, except for the few people who came from the other family, no one else in the Su family had ever seen such heavy snow.

Li Hongmei stopped a few girls who were about to go out to play and said, "We're going to have breakfast soon. Let's go out and play after breakfast."

They were all dressed up, so why would they wait any longer? As they walked out, they said, "Let's go out and play for a while, and then come back to eat."

Li Hongmei looked at the people who ran out of the door and smiled helplessly.

Zhou Huilan said at the side: "Second sister-in-law, it's okay, they are wearing a lot of clothes, they won't be cold, let them go out and play for a while!"

Li Hongmei nodded and said, "Leave some food hot in the pot for the children! It's cooling down quickly now."

After the girls went out, Su Yuanyuan joined the brothers in playing snowballs. No matter who was who, they just threw snowballs.

Su Zhihao, who was hit by his sister, saw that it was this little kid, so he made the snowball he was going to throw in retaliation smaller and threw it out.

In less than a year, Su Zhihao's height has grown rapidly. Now Su Yuanyuan, who is four years younger than her, is just a tiny kid in her eyes.

When Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao saw their sister reaching out to throw snowballs, they also joined the fight.

The boys in the family still have some sense of propriety and still give in to the girls. The snowballs used to hit the girls are obviously smaller than those used to hit the brothers. Not only are the snowballs smaller, but the strength used is also smaller.

After a chaotic fight, none of them felt cold at all. In the end, the oldest Su Zhicheng was buried in the snow by his brothers and sisters.

The one who buried himself should dig himself out. After digging Su Zhicheng out of the snow pile, the others had enough fun and started to clean up the snow in the yard.

Su Yuanyuan looked at the snow in the yard that was trampled into a mess and thought: I'll make a snowman next time I have a chance! I won't make one this time. Su Yuanyuan learned from Mrs. Su that it would snow again soon, and it would be no less snowy than this time.

With strength in numbers, they quickly cleaned up the mess in the snow.

After going into the house and having breakfast, everyone started studying.

The next day, Su An Dong planned to go to the county. First, he knew it would snow again and it would be more inconvenient to travel, so he went to the county to buy some things. Second, he wanted to go to the county to see what the situation was like outside. Third, he wanted to sell all the remaining charcoal.

Finally, the four brothers of the Su family drove an ox cart and a mule cart to the county together, and the carts were full of charcoal.

When he arrived at the county, Su Anton went to Ruyifang first.

The shopkeeper Lan Niang was very happy to see him, thinking that he had more goods! She walked up to him and asked, "How much goods did you bring this time?"

When Su An Dong heard this, he knew that he was going to disappoint Lan Niang this time, so he said, "How can there be so many goods? This time I came to ask if you still need charcoal."

The Su family did save some rabbit fur during this period, but Old Mrs. Su kept it for making clothes for the men in the Su family.

Lan Niang was a little disappointed when she heard this, and said, "Remember to send it to me if you have more. I really need charcoal. I just don't know how much you sell it for per pound?"

Su An Dong trusted Lan Niang very much and asked, "What is the price if you buy it somewhere else now?"

Lan Niang told the truth: "Now the price of charcoal has risen to six cents per pound." The price of charcoal can be known by asking around. There was no need for Lan Niang to lie, and she wanted to cooperate with the Su family for a long time in the future!

When Su An Dong heard this, he said, "Then I'll sell it for five cents a pound. How many pounds do you want, boss?"

When Lan Niang heard the price, she decided to buy more: "I want three thousand kilograms."

Su An Dong agreed happily: "Okay, I brought a lot this time, you can weigh it!"

Lan Niang asked the waiter to bring a scale and weighed it in front of everyone. Su An Dong still trusted Lan Niang in this respect, and she would not play tricks on him because of this little bit of charcoal.

After weighing and paying the bill, Su An Dong said, "Please ask the shopkeeper to ask the family who bought charcoal from me last time if they need more charcoal."

Lan Niang readily agreed and asked the shop assistant to go and inquire.

Su An Dong unloaded another 100 kilograms of charcoal from the cart for Lan Niang and said, "I trouble you every time I come here. This is our way of thanking you."

Lan Niang declined for a moment, then accepted Su An Dong's thank-you gift. She thought to herself: This guy is quite good at dealing with things.

Soon, all the people who bought charcoal last time came.

When the shopkeepers heard that it was cheaper than the market price, they all bought a lot of charcoal, more than the last time, and sold another 5,000 kilograms. Su An Dong agreed on the delivery time with several shopkeepers and said goodbye.

After coming out of Ruyifang, Su Anton took his brothers to Dingshun Restaurant like last time.

When Su An Dong met the owner of the restaurant, he directly explained his purpose.

The shopkeeper was very happy when he heard that the customer was selling charcoal, and the price was lower than the market price. He was just thinking of buying more charcoal! The idea Su Anton gave last time of using a casserole to hold the dishes and a charcoal fire underneath was very good, and now other restaurants have begun to follow suit.

The restaurant owner asked for two thousand kilograms of charcoal. Without waiting for Su Anton to ask, he took the initiative to ask the shop assistant to call the merchants he was on good terms with.

After a while, all the people who bought charcoal last time came. At this time, Su An Dong only had 5,000 kilograms left, so he divided it among several people, but there was still some left. Su An Dong and several people also set a delivery time.

Su Anton gave the remaining charcoal in the car to Dingshun Restaurant. It was not enough for 2,000 kilograms. After ordering the rest to be delivered, the few people said goodbye.

At this point, the Su family had sold out all of their 25,000 catties of charcoal. Last time they sold 10,000 catties; this time they sold 15,000 catties of charcoal, at five cents a catty, earning seventy-five taels of silver.

The four Su Andong brothers used two vehicles to transport the goods. They made another trip that afternoon and transported all day the next day to deliver all the charcoal to everyone. During this period, they also bought a lot of things for their family in the county.

When Su Anton went to the county to sell charcoal, he also learned that the winter was better because of the kang. But even so, there were still cases of people freezing to death.

It is said that the family did not have a kang, and the old man in the family could not stand the severe cold and died.

Su Anton felt powerless when he heard this.

Three days later, it snowed heavily again. Su Yuanyuan seemed to understand what it meant to close the mountain due to heavy snow. In this place where transportation is already inconvenient, if it snowed this way, it would definitely close the mountain due to heavy snow.

After the snow stopped, Su Yuanyuan took her two sisters to build two snowmen in the yard, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were guarding the house.

This was the first time for Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao to make a snowman, unlike Su Yuanyuan, the tomboy, who had made a snowman before she came here.

Several girls were having fun in the yard, not feeling cold at all. Sometimes, happiness is just that simple.
