Chapter 423: Anticipation for Snow
Upon hearing this, Su Li followed his mother’s gaze out the door, his voice tinged with a touch of excitement. It seemed as though he was eagerly anticipating the arrival of a very cold winter.
Gu Zi found his reaction intriguing. She turned to Su Li, curiosity etched on her face, and asked, “You seem quite pleased. Why do you like cold weather?”
Su Li turned to his mother, his eyes sparkling, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. He replied earnestly, “It’s not that I like the cold weather. I’ve heard that it only snows when it’s very, very cold. I really want to see snow. I’ve never seen it before. Mom, have you ever seen snow?”
Lele, noticing that her mother and brother were both at the door, joined them. She positioned herself between them, facing Gu Zi. Gu Zi knew that the little girl had come to be coddled. Having spent a lot of time together, Gu Zi often understood Lele’s intentions without her having to say a word.
Gu Zi fondly caressed Lele’s face, bent down to pick her up, and said to Su Li,
“Yes, I’ve seen it more than once.”
Upon hearing that his mother had seen snow, Su Li became even more excited and began to chatter away.
“Mm-hmm, some of my classmates have seen it too. One of them moved here from the north with his parents. He said that it snows heavily there in the winter, and after the snowfall, everything is blanketed in white. It’s incredibly beautiful!
“After the snow stops, the adults take the children out to build snowmen, have snowball fights, go sledding, and even make a natural refrigerator in the snow to store food.
“The most amazing thing is that they bury fresh pears in the snow and then eat them. They taste incredibly sweet, and juice bursts out with every bite!”
Su Li and his classmates were extremely envious. Even now, as he spoke, his mouth was watering at the thought of tasting a pear frozen in the snow. It must be a marvelous experience.
However, thinking about this made Su Li’s eyebrows furrow slightly. He had grown up in Daqing Village, where the winters were not very cold, and it had never snowed. He really hoped it would snow this year.
Gu Zi understood his wish after hearing his story. “So, you want to see snow! I’ve seen it, but where we live now is a warm region. It usually doesn’t snow in the winter.”
Su Li’s cheeks puffed out slightly, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. “Mom, does that mean I won’t be able to see snow this year?” He had initially planned to wait at the door for his father to return, but now he didn’t want to wait anymore.
Su Li turned and walked towards the sofa. Gu Zi, holding Lele, followed him. She didn’t want to lie to him, but she also didn’t want him to be upset.
She comforted him in a soft voice, “We definitely won’t be able to see snow, but I know that people in the north love to eat dumplings when it snows. We can also eat dumplings and experience that atmosphere, right? I promise you, when we get the chance, our family will go see the snow together!”
Gu Zi could truly empathize with Su Li’s anticipation for snow. In her past life, it was only when she went to college in the north that she saw snow for the first time.
As she reached out to catch a few snowflakes, the cool sensation was indescribably wonderful. It was then that she realized that the snowflakes depicted in textbooks were not fictional but realistic, and that snowflakes were indeed dreamy hexagons!
Upon hearing his mother’s words, Su Li’s eyes lit up even more. “Can we really go see the snow as a family?” he asked.
Gu Zi nodded and extended her pinky finger. “Of course, let’s make a pinky promise.”
Where his gaze fell, his mother was holding his little sister, sitting on the couch at an angle from him. His mother’s long dress today made her look even more gentle and soft, which eased Su Li’s sense of loss. He knew that if his mother said she would take them, she definitely would. So far, his mother had never lied to him.
Su Li smiled, rushed to his mother’s side, and hooked his finger around his mother’s pinky. “Okay, let’s have dumplings today!”
Gu Zi patted the boy’s head with a warm smile. At the same time, steady footsteps sounded from the doorway. She turned her head to see Su Shen just entering from outside, bringing in a gust of damp, cold air.
His attire today was slightly different from usual. He wore a moon-white round -necked long-sleeved shirt that revealed part of his firm and strong collarbone beneath the protruding Adam’s apple. His messy hair was scattered on his forehead, giving him a stylish look. His black trousers were clean and straight, and his overall demeanor was extraordinarily noble.
Gu Zi was very satisfied with the outfit she had chosen for him today. Her lips curled up even more. Indeed, she found it more pleasing to the eye to dress her man herself..
