    Whenever Su Binn made food and wanted to send it to the rest of the family, Shen Qiuhua would do it. She wanted to see everyone’s expressions when they received the food.


    Since they were always delighted, Shen Qiuhua was always happy to deliver the food. Now that the Su familys conditions had improved, they could share their resources.


    Su Binn was happy to cook for the whole family, especially during the holidays.


    Su Fengmao was proud, saying, “The food my daughter makes is always delicious. I can’t wait to taste these glutinous rice balls.”


    Although the family made glutinous rice ballsst night, they did not eat them. No one knew how they would taste. Even so, they knew it would be delicious.


    Sincest afternoon, Su Wenzhe and the others had looked forward to eating the glutinous rice balls.


    Su Binn could not help butugh when she heard her parents’ words. She said, “We’ll make dumplings after Mother returns from delivering the glutinous rice balls. After that, we’ll go to the river in town to lightnterns.”


    She initially nned to makenterns for Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai. However, she was too busy to make them and ran out of time. Still, the family could buynterns in town.


    ording to tradition, everyone would go to the riverside to put outnterns. Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were ecstatic. After all, children loved to y. They also liked visiting the town with their parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts.


    After packing everything, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua went to deliver the glutinous rice balls. When they entered the yard, they found that it was snowing.


    Shen Qiuhua was shocked as she looked up and asked, “Is it snowing?”


    Su Fengmao looked at the snowkes on his wife’s hair. “Yes, it is.”


    Su Binn was busy at the stove when she heard her parents’ voices in the yard. She looked toward them and saw snow falling from above. Her eyes lit up as she said, “I didn’t expect it to know.”


    She always became excited whenever she saw snow. Perhaps because it was a sign of a bumper harvest, or maybe it made her feel pure and peaceful.


    Lu Jin!an was helping her when he looked into her eyes and asked, “You like snow, don’t you?”


    Su Binn nodded. “Yes, I do.”


    She remembered Luo Jin’an going on a long journeyst year and only returning on a snowy day. She was thrilled when she saw him that day. Su Binn turned and asked Luo Jin’an, “What about you? Do you like snow?”


    Luo Jin’an raised a brow, thinking, ‘Honestly, I don’t like it.’


    That was because enemy countries would attack and rob the viges at the border whenever it snowed. There was nothing much the soldiers could do because the viges were scattered.


    If the soldiers received an emergency letter from one vige, another vige would get plundered. Most soldiers had to guard the city walls, while only a few could patrol. Moreover, some soldiers would freeze to death during battle.


    Luo Jin’an looked at his wife and said, “l like snow if you like it.”


    Shen Qiuhua noticed it was snowing heavily and returned inside with Su Fengmao. They wore their hats and scarves and went out again. Otherwise, the snow that fell on their heads would melt and wet their hair.


    Su Wenzhe told his parents, “Father, Mother, why don’t I send those rice balls? You two should stay home.”


    Shen Qiuhua smiled. “That’s okay. Everyone lives nearby anyway. Besides, I want to see everyone’s reactions.”


    She enjoyed delivering the food, so she rejected Su Wenzhe’s offer.


    Su Wenzhe thought, ‘All right, then. I only wanted to be considerate. 1 didn’t expect them to reject me.’


    Shen Qiuhui looked at the snow outside and thought of the capital. Shen


    Mohen hurriedly got on the bed and hid under a nket, saying, “Ah, it’s nice and warm on the bed.’


    Su Binn could not help butugh when she heard his words. Shen Mohen had intended to help her in the kitchen, but he ended up not helping at all. He only needed to cook a few thingster.


    Usually, Su Teng Market would be open until nighttime. Everyone nned to close their stalls early because it was the Lantern Festival, but it suddenly started snowing.


    The vigers who were shopping at that time rushed home. When the vendors saw them leaving, they packed their stalls and went home. Gradually, the market was empty.


    Before going home, most wanted to buy multi-grain pancakes, so they queued at the shop’s entrance. Meanwhile, many others came and went from Su’s M Hotpot. After eating the m hotpot, they felt warmer.


    “The M hotpot was delicious.”


    “l agree. The seasoning was perfect and reminded me of the regr hotpot.”


    “It’s cheaper than regr hotpot because I decide how much I can afford to eat. I spent a little over twenty copper just now.”


    “Yeah, 1 got full from just one pack of noodles.”


    Everyoneughed and chatted as they walked home. When they left, they saw a young man standing near the restaurant’s entrance. The man wore a white cloak while holding a horse.


    Those who had just left the restaurant could not help but take a few more nces.


    “Who’s that?”


    “l don’t know. Is it one of the Su family members?”


    “We saw the family just now, but they went home for dinner.”


    “If that guy’s here to eat, why doesn’t he just enter? He’s standing at the door covered in snow instead.’


    “If he’s not here to eat, is he looking for Third Young Master Su?”


    Everyone wondered who that man was, but it was snowing, so they did not stop walking home.


    Su Wenwu was still busy in the shop. He wanted to close when he saw the snow. However, someone entered and asked, “Third Young Master Su, I saw a man standing at the door with a horse.. Is he looking for you?”
