As they neared Xiangyang Team, snowflakes began to drift from the sky again. They danced in the air like willow catkins, then spun and fluttered down to earth like goose feathers.
After winter set in, there was little work to be done in the fields. Many villagers went back to eating two meals a day. They would sleep in late, and by the time they got up and had their first meal, it was nearly noon.
If the weather was nice, the elderly and children, who didn't need to worry about earning work points during the slack season, would go outside to bask in the sun. But on an overcast day like today, it was the opposite.
After returning the oxcart to Xiangyang Team, Shen Weimin led Xu Changqing to their new home first. As expected, they barely saw any neighbors along the way in this kind of weather.
