At this time, the old man Sun in the room was wearing a thick fur coat, his hands and feet were stiff, his steps were staggering, and he turned around and walked out.

"Old man, it's too cold outside and the snow is too heavy. You can't hold on even if you wear a thick cotton coat!" Mrs. Sun held her husband's hand and stopped him from going out.

It was really cold outside, and Old Man Sun's hands were all frozen and had frostbite, some of which were even cracked.

"No, I have to go out. If I don't go out, our house won't be able to withstand such thick snow. If the house collapses in the middle of the night, none of us will be able to escape."

Granny Sun's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "It would be great if our son was at home. He is young and nimble. You must be careful when you go up there."

Sun Shitou from the village broke his leg when he fell from the roof.

It's really not good to have no man in the family. Their sons used to be bandits and now they have been arrested by the county magistrate.

Even so, they actually did not hate the county magistrate.

If it were any other adult, the bandits would have been beheaded after the suppression was successful.

But the county magistrate did not do that. He only performed labor service and could return home after two years.

Old Man Sun nodded, "I know, you and the child should stay in the house. Don't come out. It's too cold."

Old man Sun came out and climbed up the ladder, shivering. Just as he was about to sweep the snow, he heard someone calling him dad.

The voice sounded like his son. Old man Sun couldn't believe it and turned his head suddenly. It seemed that someone was coming towards his house.

"Dad, I'm an unfilial son and I'm back." Boss Sun saw his father trembling on the roof sweeping the snow, his face blue and purple from the cold. He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.

Boss Sun regretted very much that he became a bandit and neglected his parents and children at home.

My wife also died because of heavy bleeding during childbirth and no doctor was called.

But they were also forced. If they didn't become bandits, they might be robbed by nearby village strongholds.

Fortunately, the county magistrate was merciful. After clearing out the bandits, he only executed the ringleader.

These minions were let off.

Now that it is snowing heavily, they are asked to come back to accompany their parents and help with housework and disaster relief.

When Old Man Sun saw his son, he got so excited that he slipped and was about to fall off the roof.

Fortunately, Boss Sun and several soldiers ran fast and caught Old Man Sun so that he did not fall and get hurt.

"Dad, are you okay?" Boss Sun asked hurriedly.

Old Man Sun waved his hands quickly and wiped his tears. "I'm fine, I'm fine! Son, why are you back? Did you run away? You must not run away!"

"The county magistrate is a good man. As long as you work hard, you will be able to go home in two years. If you try to please him, you will always be a wanted criminal and you will never be able to come back in this life."

When Boss Sun heard this, he quickly explained, "Dad, I didn't run away! The county magistrate asked me to come back. Taoist Qingyun said that there was too much snow this year and there would be a snowstorm."

"Now we are also worried that the people don't have young and middle-aged people at home, and if the snow is not cleared in time, it will crush the houses, so we prisoners who have families are allowed to go home."

"Dad, you go inside to warm up, I'll shovel the snow!" Boss Sun picked up the tools, and with swift hands and feet, he rushed directly to the roof and quickly shoveled off the snow on the roof.

Old man Sun put his hands together and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, magistrate!"

A guard took out a piece of paper and said to Old Man Sun, "Uncle Sun, these prisoners should not have been released, but the county magistrate was merciful and could not bear to see the local people suffer from the snowstorm."

"Our county magistrate has made a promise to the higher-ups that all prisoners must return after the snowstorm. If they escape, not only will their crimes be exacerbated, they will also be wanted criminals forever."

"Our county magistrate will also be criticized by the upper hand because of the escape of the labor camp prisoners. We ordinary people cannot make it difficult for the county magistrate, otherwise who will come to save our Qingshui County?"

When Old Man Sun heard this, he quickly assured, "Please rest assured, sir. We, the whole family, guarantee with our lives that we will never let my son escape."

"Although we are illiterate and not smart, we are not stupid. Our son will be able to live a decent life in a year. Why should we run away? Why should we run away for the rest of our lives?"

"Besides, where can we go to run to our family, old and young? Seeing that we can live a good life in Qingshui County soon, we are not going anywhere!"

The soldier nodded. "Since Mr. Sun is reasonable, we won't say any more! Please put your fingerprints on this paper. We still need to send the person to another family!"

Old Man Sun looked at the people behind him, all of whom were from the village, and immediately put their fingerprints on them.

"Thank goodness, God has finally let Qingshui County have a good official!"

The soldier smiled and said, "Thank goodness, and your majesty is wise to send Lord Zhou to our Qingshui County. We can live a peaceful and stable life in the future. Good days are yet to come!"

Old Man Sun said yes repeatedly. This year, the bandit stronghold was gone, so he didn't have to pay grain to the bandits or the government. Although the harvest was poor, it was still more grain than in previous years.

The soldiers took their people away and sent the prisoners from Sunjia Village home one by one.

Old Man Sun watched these people leave and wiped his tears.

The son pushed the snow down from the roof, and he piled the snow in the yard outwards.

The father and son worked together and quickly cleared the snow.

At this time, Boss Sun jumped down from the roof, sweat on his forehead.

Old Man Sun quickly wiped the sweat off his son's face and said, "It's cold outside, come in and warm up. Your mother will be very happy to see you, and the children are talking about you too!"

Boss Sun waved his hand and said, "Dad, move this bag of food in and send Xuexue to the orphans in the village. Let my mother cook first, she will be back soon!"

When Old Man Sun heard this, he looked at the bag in the yard and was shocked. "Son, how come there is still food?"

Boss Sun replied: "Now let us come back to help with disaster relief. After we finish our own work, we should try our best to help others clear the snow."

"We eat a lot. If we don't have enough to eat, we won't have the energy to work and help others, so the county magistrate gave each of us a bag of more than 100 kilograms of food."

After saying that, Sun Laoda picked up the bag of grain and saw his old father was still in a daze. "Dad, please help me open the door! Mom, please open the door, your son is back!"

Old man Sun finally came to his senses and quickly opened the door to let his son in.

When she got into the house, Mrs. Sun saw her son and thought he was dreaming!

"Son, is it really you?"

Boss Sun smiled and said, "Mom, it's me! I won't say any more nonsense. Hurry up and cook. I'll go help others sweep the snow first!"

After saying this, Boss Sun rushed out to help several elderly, weak, women and children in the village shovel snow.

The snow in the yard is easy to clean.

The roof is the most difficult part. Mr. Sun is very strong, and he can shovel away the snow on the roof with just a few shovels.

There are more than a dozen people like Boss Sun in Sunjia Village.

After finishing their own work, they came out to help others.

With everyone's help, all the snow on the houses in Sunjia Village was cleared away.

Just as Boss Sun ran out to help others shovel snow, Mrs. Sun kept wiping her tears at home.
