Gu Xiaoyu, who was in the room, heard the commotion and ran out. “Don’t worry, leave this to me. I’ll go and give it to them as soon as possible!”
“We’ve been busy all year round, and everyone can finally get a few copper coins to celebrate it with. I’ll definitely give them what they deserve.”
“Thank you for your trouble.”
“By the way,” Gu Xiaoyu said as she handed over the clay pot in her hand. “Poor families like us don’t have anything to give you to thank you. These are pickled vegetables I usually pickle at home. Take it back for you and Jiaojiao.”
Just as Zhao Zhan was about to decline, Yang Maozhong took the jar and stuffed it into Zhao Zhan’s hands without giving him a chance to explain. “My wife’s cooking skills are average, but I know she can make great pickled vegetables. You’ve helped us so much. If you don’t accept it, we won’t even be able to spend the New Year in peace. Alright, it’s getting late, you should hurry back.”

Seeing this, Zhao Zhan could only silently hold the pot in his hand, and then shuffled his way back home in the dark.
When Yue Jiaojiao woke up, the light was already shining through the window.
Zhao Zhan walked into the house with a layer of frost on his body. He did not approach her immediately when he saw that she was awake, for fear that the coldness on his body would freeze her.
“The shop is closed for the next few days. Yang Dashan and Li Miao followed Lizheng’s ox cart to town early in the morning. I asked him to help me look for Fang Tianliu in the shop. They’ll ask Fang Tianliu to see if he is willing to come home with him for the New Year.
“Do you want to get up and take a walk in the yard, or do you want me to bring breakfast over for you to eat before you sleep for a while?”
Yue Jiaojiao could feel a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose. She stretched lazily and slowly sat up while hugging the blanket. When she turned her head, she saw a bottle of red plum on the table.
“Where did you get these?”
She immediately got off the ground with a look of surprise. Zhao Zhan quickly ran over and pulled her onto his lap. Then, he thoughtfully put on her shoes. “It’s winter, it’s very cold to step on the floor barefooted.”
“When did you make this pair of shoes?”
“I asked Li Miao to help me make it. I gave her an extra piece of rabbit skin as a form of payment. Otherwise, I’ll feel bad troubling her.”
Zhao Zhan knew that Yue Jiaojiao usually didn’t like to wear shoes that fit her feet when she stayed in her room, so he imitated the style of the shoes she had asked Li Miao to make for her a long time ago. He asked for two new pairs of shoes using animal skin so that she wouldn’t freeze her feet in winter.
“Let’s go see the flowers.”
After putting on the shoes, Zhao Zhan placed the woman on the ground and walked over to take the warm coat that had been placed by the stove to put on her. “Be careful not to catch a cold.”

She leaned closer to the plum blossom and sniffed it. Zhao Zhan looked at it, and only one thought remained in his mind — people are more delicate than flowers.
“Zhao Zhan, where did you pick these plum blossoms?”
“In the courtyard.”
Yue Jiaojiao looked at him in confusion. “Since when did we plant plum blossoms in our courtyard? ”
“Let me show you.”
As he spoke, he wrapped the woman’s hand in his palm and held it as he lifted the curtain in front of the door and went into the courtyard.
The courtyard was dazzled by the thick layer of snow, and the red plum blossom tree in the corner of the courtyard was the main attraction.
