Before the new year, the snow fell again, and it didn't fall lightly. By early morning, large flakes were drifting down and kept getting heavier until mid-morning.
In such cold weather, even Li Zhifang didn't fancy going out.
But these two days, the kids have their final exams, and right after that, it's winter vacation. While the adults might stay indoors, the kids must go to school.
There was no helping it, Li Zhifang had to wear two cotton-padded coats and wrap up in a long scarf to take the kids to school.
When he returned, his cotton shoes were soaked through.
Anning brought him a pair of cotton slippers to change into before letting him in the house.
While handing him a sweater to change into, she asked, "With the snow this heavy, will they still have school in the afternoon?"
