Chapter 659: Several Matters (1)_1

As October waned into its final days, a consistent gloom settled over two consecutive days. Though rain or snow never fell, the weather turned colder still, and padded jackets proved insufficient against the chill; thus, everyone began donning somewhat thinner cotton-padded clothes.

Yang Ruxin, having stored an ample supply of firewood, had started using the stove in the main room. Consequently, the kang beds on both sides were toasty warm.

Sini was the most delighted; each night, she would roll around on the kang in her underwear, for she had never slept on such a warm kang during winter.

Her antics always provoked Xiaobao and Erya to roll around as well, and the bunch of little girls would giggle away while Xiaofeng, from the opposite room, joined in their laughter.

At such times, Xun Hui would smile and then secretly wipe away tears, for she had never seen the children so happy before.
