Another day of shoveling snow

More than 20 minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao prepared breakfast. Seeing that Zhang Yuanyuan hadn't woken up yet, she walked to the door of the room where Zhang Yuanyuan was sleeping and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked subconsciously after being awakened by the knock on the door.

"It's me. Breakfast is ready. Get up and eat quickly."

Zhang Yuanyuan said hello after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, and then she got up and got dressed. After she got dressed, she left the room and went to the bathroom to wash up.

A few minutes later, she washed up and came out of the bathroom. Then she walked to the dining table and sat down. She said to Lu Xiaoxiao embarrassedly, "Sorry, I went to bed late."

"It's okay. In this house, no one cares about how late you want to sleep. If I weren't afraid that you would be hungry, I wouldn't have asked you to get up to eat."

Zhang Yuanyuan was particularly moved when she heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, but she did not say it out loud because she knew Lu Xiaoxiao didn't like to hear this.

So she said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "I understand, let's eat quickly and then go to my house."

Lu Xiaoxiao said hello after hearing Zhang Yuanyuan's words, and then she picked up the spoon to eat.

After they finished eating, they went back to the house and put on their thickest clothes. Then they went out together and walked towards Zhang Yuanyuan's house.

More than half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at Zhang Yuanyuan's house. She saw that the ice hanging under the eaves of Zhang Yuanyuan's house had begun to melt, so she said to Zhang Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, give me the key, and I will open the door."

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Zhang Yuanyuan gave the key to Lu Xiaoxiao directly, and then said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Be careful, don't get hit by the ice."

"Okay." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he swept away the row of ice on the door, then took out the key and opened the door.

But when she opened the lock, she couldn't push the door in no matter how hard she pushed it. It seemed that the snow was too thick and blocked the door.

So she took a few steps back, then quickly jumped towards the wall, and soon she safely jumped into the yard.

Then she asked Zhang Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, where is your shovel?"

"In the utility room."

"I know." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she went into the utility room, quickly found a shovel, and went to the yard to shovel the snow.

After she shoveled away the snow blocking the door, she opened the courtyard door and said to Zhang Yuanyuan, "Come in."

After Zhang Yuanyuan heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she entered the yard. Then she saw the thick snow in the yard, and she didn't know what to do.

So she asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, how about we hire someone to help clean up the snow?"

"Forget it. I'll clean up the snow. You can do whatever you need to do."

"Really don't need it?"

"I said no."

"Okay, then I'm going into the house." After Zhang Yuanyuan finished speaking, she walked towards the house.

After Lu Xiaoxiao entered the house after Zhang Yuanyuan, she picked up the shovel again as if resigned to her fate, and then started shoveling the snow one shovel after another.

After she shoveled all the snow out of the yard, she saw that Zhang Yuanyuan hadn't come out of the house yet, and she didn't know what Zhang Yuanyuan was doing in the house, so she put the shovel back in the utility room and walked toward the house.

When she entered the room, she saw Zhang Yuanyuan sitting on the kang. She asked Zhang Yuanyuan, "What are you doing?"

"No...nothing."

"Cried?"

"No, I just...just got dust in my eyes."
