Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 254: Chapter 252: Ye Lei Goes to Work, Three Family Members Play in the Snow Busily

After washing up, she stepped out of the room again.

She carefully checked her cotton clothes and shoes, making sure they were wrapped tightly, before continuing forward with big strides.

Feeling annoyed, she realized that she had forgotten to buy gloves!

It wasn’t really her fault, as she never liked wearing gloves in her previous life!

In the courtyard, Di Yelei had already led the jujube red horse out of the stable and was meticulously grooming its mane. His attention to detail far surpassed how he combed his own hair.

The saddle was also now on the horse’s back, ready to go.

“Huh? Are you planning to ride it?”

“Well, yesterday I went to the county government office. I said I’d report today and officially start my holiday. From now on, we’ll have more income.”

Di Yelei had a big smile on his face, obviously very happy.

Liu Sisi thought about it and didn’t stop him.

“Okay, can you come back tonight?”

“Of course, I’ll be back. This horse can handle these distances easily. I’ll go now and be back in the afternoon. Don’t worry.”

Di Yelei turned around and hugged her gently to reassure her.

“Alright, go early and come back early. Although the sky is clear now, who knows if it will snow tonight.”

“I know! I’ll hurry back.”

Di Yelei said as he untied the horse and led it outside.

At the doorway, Elderly Mr. Di turned his head and saw Di Yelei leading the tall horse over. His eyes instantly lit up. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Di Yelei walked quickly to his side and gently called, “Dad! It’s cold outside, put on more clothes. I’m going to the government office for work, I’ll be back tonight.”

Elderly Mr. Di nodded repeatedly, his hand reaching out instinctively. But as the horse snorted, he quickly withdrew his hand.

“Good, good, good!…”

He muttered, his eyes full of satisfaction.

“I’ll come back as soon as possible, so don’t worry! Just take care of the house.”

“I know. Ride slowly, and be careful on the icy roads when it snows.” Liu Sisi waved her hand at him.

Watching Di Yelei quickly mount the horse and ride away, she took a long time to snap back to reality.

At the moment, although it was still early, there were already a few pedestrians on the road. Seeing Di Yelei riding the tall horse, they pointed and whispered among themselves.

It wasn’t until his figure disappeared at the end of their sight that Liu Sisi put away her mixed feelings.

She suddenly missed the feeling of her previous life when she could just pick up her bicycle and ride it whenever she went out. But here, she had to rely on her two legs to get around, which was really unpleasant!

She thought to herself, it’s about time our family got a carriage!

She turned her head and followed Elderly Mr. Di’s gaze, looking at the group of children playing wildly on the grain-drying field. Liu Sisi once again felt annoyed at forgetting to buy gloves.

But even without gloves, how could it stop Liu Sisi’s playful heart?

She quickly went to the kitchen and came out with a water bag wrapped in a towel, handing it to Elderly Mr. Di who was leaning in the doorway watching the two children play.

“Father, hold this water bag in your arms; it’ll make you feel less cold.”

Having said that, she smiled at Elderly Mr. Di and quickly ran towards the two children.

On the grain-drying yard, many children and adults were playing around.

Snow fell heavily yesterday, but today the weather cleared up and the sun came out early in the morning, making it the perfect time to build snowmen and have a snowball fight.

When Liu Sisi arrived, Xuan’er and YingEr’s snowman was almost finished.

“YingEr, Xuan’er, is your snowman missing something?”

“Mom! You’re here too!”

From afar, YingEr pounced towards Liu Sisi: “Mom, come build snowmen with us! Look how big their snowmen are!”

Indeed, there were already several snowmen on the grain-drying field.

“Don’t worry! Mom will help. Our snowman may not be as big as theirs, but it’ll definitely be the best looking.”

Liu Sisi was excited and began shoveling snow with a scoop nearby.

“Mom, come to Xuan’er’s side, there’s more snow here.”

Di Xuan’s cheerful voice came from the other side.

“Coming, coming!”

Liu Sisi happily approached, where the snow was thicker near the haystack and easier to shovel.

“Xuan’er, YingEr, are your clothes wet? Are you warm enough? If you’re cold, go back and put on a few more layers. Understood?”

While shoveling snow, Liu Sisi spoke somewhat breathlessly, packing the snowman firmly.

“We’re not cold! Mom, YingEr is wearing this coat, so she won’t get wet inside.”

YingEr smiled with a pout.

Liu Sisi looked up at her free time. YingEr was wearing a padded coat, but also a large poncho on its surface. The poncho was a bit old, obviously made last year.

“Look how thoughtless I am. I forgot that our little YingEr needs a poncho. It’s alright. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the small town and make another one for our YingEr.”

Liu Sisi spoke cheerfully, and after a thought, she added: “also gloves and socks.”

The snowman’s head was soon formed, and she also held YingEr to put eyes, nose, and mouth on the snowman. The group laughed and played happily.

At the moment, many people had already arrived at the grain-drying yard.

Everyone knew each other as fellow villagers. Moreover, after Di Ah-bao got married recently, everyone learned that Liu Sisi was Miss of Gan Family’s female tutor. The passing crowd unconsciously showed more respect towards her, greeting her one after another, and she responded in kind.

Soon, groups of three or five were gossiping and discussing the first snow of the season on the grain-drying yard.

In a short while, Guihua arrived, waving at them from afar: “YingEr! Oh my, you guys are here so early. Look at these little hands, they must be freezing cold, right?”

“Hi Auntie.” YingEr smiled and greeted, taking the opportunity to hug Guihua.

“Good, good, good, everyone’s good.”

Guihua spoke while holding YingEr in her arms, giving her a kiss, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe her clean: “Just in time, I remembered that I had just knitted two pairs of gloves for the two children, but I always forgot to bring them. Today, when I saw snow, I remembered.”

While talking, she also handed over the pair for Xuan’er.

Liu Sisi was a bit embarrassed: “Sister Guihua, you’re always helping out with these things. I really don’t know how to do any of them. To be honest, it’s…embarrassing.”
