Chapter 283 - 283 It's Snowing
283 It’s Snowing
A gust of cold air blew against his face with fine snowflakes. The courtyard was already covered in a thick layer of snow, and even the outside of the courtyard was already a world of silver and white.
“It’s actually snowing.”
Mo Ruyue couldn’t help but sigh.
When she first came to this world, it was early spring. Now, the first snow had already fallen, which meant that she had been in this world for almost a year.
Time passed by so quickly that she had not even noticed it. Unknowingly, she had already experienced the four seasons of the year in this world.
Just as she was sighing, the door of the room next door suddenly opened. The boys rushed out of the room and ran to the courtyard, cheering and jumping for joy.
“It’s snowing, it’s snowing! I was wondering why it was a little cold. It’s snowing!”
San Bao was the most excited, jumping up and down like a living monkey, cheering as he did so.
“Big Brother, Second Brother, Si Bao, come quickly! The snow is so cold that my hands are freezing!”
He picked up a handful of snow from the ground and made it into a snowball. He wanted to throw it at Er Bao, but Da Bao was one step ahead of him. The snowball was about to hit his face.
Even though San Bao was the one who threw the snowball, he did not dare to see his big brother being hit. He hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, but he still peeked at him through the gaps between his fingers.
Da Bao had gone through so much training in the morning class. If he could still be hit by this snowball, he would not agree to it even if Mo Ruyue did not punish him for extra training.
He didn’t move his lower body at all. He only twisted his upper body slightly with his waist strength and dodged the snowball.
Before San Bao could celebrate, he saw the snowball hit Si Bao’s face, who was behind his big brother.
Si Bao was still in a daze when the snowball from the sky hit him. The cold chill covered his head and face, and his sleepiness was gone.
“Big Brother! Look at Third Brother, he’s already bored so early in the morning!”
Si Bao saw that his elder brother’s body had not twisted back and knew that he was affected. He immediately began to complain.
Da Bao also knew that his fourth brother had met with an unexpected disaster, and it was more or less related to his dodging. Without saying anything, he squatted down and formed a big snowball. While San Bao was still in a daze, he suddenly glanced over.
He hit the 10th ring, a perfect target!
The boys were already having a snowball fight in the yard, and seemed to have forgotten about the morning class.
Although Mo Ruyue was standing at the door of her room, she had no intention of reminding them.
In any case, if they didn’t do the morning class, they could make up for it with double the night class. This was the first snow of the year, and also the first snow that the babies could really have fun with. So, they should have fun first.
“Mother, it’s really snowing. Can I play with my brothers?”
Tang Tang walked to Mo Ruyue and asked in a low voice.
Her mother had said that only with self-discipline could one form good habits. Now that his brothers had forgotten about their morning classes, this was not something a self-disciplined person should do.
However, the pure white snow in front of her was too alluring.
It was as if the ground, houses, courtyards, and trees were all sprinkled with a thick layer of white sugar.
It looked like soft cotton, but it felt cold to the touch and creaked when stepped on. There were so many changes and wonderful feelings. She would never get tired of it no matter how she played.
The only thing Tang Tang could remember of the past winters was that they were cold.
She didn’t have thick cotton clothes, she couldn’t eat her fill, and she had to follow her brothers to do endless housework for her “mother.” How could she have the mood to enjoy the snow?
So even though she already knew that her mother was no longer the mother she used to be, as soon as she mentioned that she wanted to play with the snow, those bad memories of the past came back to her instantly, making her feel a sense of fear.
“Go ahead, but they’re too crazy to play snowball fights. Mother will build a snowman with you, okay?”
Mo Ruyue looked at Tang Tang’s careful appearance and couldn’t help but feel pain in her heart.
It turned out that those terrifying memories had not been completely forgotten or healed, but had been buried deep. Once the time was right, they would still be dug out from the deepest part of the memory.
Mo Ruyue felt that she had not done enough. She had to work harder to cover the bad memories with new beautiful memories. Perhaps on the next day when the first snow fell, Tang Tang would not have to ask her so carefully and could happily play with the snow.
“Build a snowman? Yes, good!”
When Tang Tang heard her mother’s suggestion, her eyes suddenly lit up. The light in her eyes was something Mo Ruyue had never seen before. Even when she ate delicious food, wore beautiful clothes, and was able to go to school with her brothers, she had never had this light.
However, such a light made her expression come to life all of a sudden. That look of disbelief and excitement made Mo Ruyue couldn’t help but pull Tang Tang into her arms and cherish her for a while.
Ever since Tang Tang had started attending classes with Mr. Du, she had rarely acted like a spoiled child in front of her mother. She felt that she had grown up and that acting like a spoiled child was something only children would do. However, she had forgotten that she was only a child who was not even five years old.
Now that she was being hugged and kissed by her mother, she felt sweet and warm in her heart. She thought that her mother would not care for her so much when she grew up, but she did not expect that her mother had not changed.
After kissing Tang Tang enough, Mo Ruyue put her down. They had more important things to do, which was to build a snowman!
Although the boys were having a snowball fight, they were also listening to the conversation between their mother and little sister. They also did not miss the words “build a snowman”.
“Mother, let us help too!”
Once again, San Bao was the first to rush over. When it came to playing, no one was more enthusiastic than him.
“But the snow in the courtyard has been dirtied. Let’s go outside. It’s still fine!”
He also looked at Mo Ruyue eagerly. His droopy dog eyes looked especially innocent and urgent.
“Alright, get a shovel and a broom, as well as a straw hat and carrots. Let’s go and build a snowman!”
As soon as Mo Ruyue spoke, the babies immediately cheered. Even Da Bao, who had always been calm, couldn’t help but smile. He turned and was the first to go to the woodshed to get tools.
Soon, six people, one big and five small, stood in the snow outside the house.
There was still a large open space between their house and the neighboring Liu’s house. Other than the six of them, no one else had set foot in this place. It was still a white expanse.
“Let’s do it here! Are we going to make a big one together or a small one each?”
Mo Ruyue asked this on purpose. She really wanted to know whether the five babies valued the group or the individual more.
“Mother, let’s make a big one together.”
The first one to speak was actually Si Bao, and his words were even more unexpected to Mo Ruyue.
