A heavy snowfall blanketed Kao Shan Village, and the distant mountains and streams were covered in silver-white.
The village houses were buried under the snow, each one turning into mounds of various shapes.
As she walked through the snow, a trail of deep footprints was left behind.
Passing by Li Gen Sheng's house, she happened to see Erhua coming out with a basin of water. Seeing Yi Chichi alone outside, she called out, "Miss Yi, what are you up to?"
"Looking for Qin Jiu."
Yi Chichi replied against the wind and snow, and Erhua raised her hand to point, "Xiao Jiu is at the secretary's house."
"Got it, thanks, Aunt Erhua."
"Hurry along."
Erhua waved to her and went back inside.
Yi Chichi headed straight to the secretary's house, and before entering, she could hear the children's laughter echoing loudly, so much so that it shook the icicles from the eaves, crashing down everywhere.
