The old woman no longer yelled harshly, she just looked at Wan Qing and followed her slowly.
Seeing Wan Qing sweeping the floor skillfully, she couldn't help but take another look at Wan Qing. Making a snowman to help her could be fun as a child, but this sweeping the floor... "Whose child are you?"
Wan Qing smiled. It was not easy. The old woman finally began to talk to her calmly.
"Xiao, my surname is Xiao."
"Are you from the Xiao family?"
"yes."
"Since you are a young lady from the Xiao family, how come you know how to sweep the floor?" The old woman's eyes showed doubts. The average rich lady doesn't even know how to hold a broom, let alone sweeping the floor. Especially, her broom is not an ordinary sweeper.
The broom was half as tall as her, and even for a wealthy lady, it would be tiring to hold it empty-handed.
Wan Qing's hand movements were stagnant. She was holding a broom that was taller than her. She looked at the old woman and then looked down at the broom in her hand. She was thinking that if she threw away the broom now and said that she didn't know how to sweep the floor, she didn't know what the other party was doing.
Will you believe it?
After thinking about it, she decided that it would be better not to do such an idiotic thing.
"We used to live in a small village, and we had to clear the snow every year." Wan Qing opened her big eyes, blinking in and out, her innocent expression clearly revealed.
The old woman didn't ask any more questions, just took the basket, took a small shovel from the basket, and shoveled the snow that Wan Qing had swept into a push into the basket.
Wan Qing looked at the old woman dragging the basket, and she didn't know whether it was true or not, but it looked like she was struggling.
Wan Qing sighed softly and swept the snow vigorously. After sweeping for a while, she put down the broom and rolled the pile of dirty snow into a dirty snowball little by little, just like making a snowman before.
Go to the edge of the woods.
Seeing Wan Qing's actions, the smile in the old woman's eyes deepened, and she nodded slightly unconsciously.
Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, not afraid of getting dirty, very good, very good.
Wan Qing's movements were not too slow, but after all, she was still young, her age was young, and her body was smaller, so she wasn't going anywhere fast.
The old woman moved even more slowly, and the two of them moved so slowly that by the time they had lunch, the school grounds were only half cleaned.
"Girl, come to my place for lunch!" At noon, the old woman spoke to Wan Qing, already very kindly.

Wan Qing looked at the sky and shook her head, "No, mother-in-law, I can't leave this yard today?"
The old woman continued to invite, "You can't leave this courtyard! Ah, I know about this... But don't worry, as long as you don't say it, and I don't say it, we will be more careful and no one will find out."
Wan Qing still shook her head, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for your kindness, but I can't." Then she helped the old woman walk out of the school grounds, "Be careful, mother-in-law, go and have a meal quickly. Don't worry about me."
At the right time, Wan Qing's stomach made a growling sound, and the old woman looked over immediately. Wan Qing smiled awkwardly and quickly pushed the old woman out, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I'm fine. It's only been four hours. It's already passed."
Two hours have passed, and there are two more hours that will pass soon."
The old woman invited her again and again, but Wan Qing just refused.
She was just starving, how could she be defeated by such a small problem.
The old lady finally left alone. Wan Qing looked at the empty school ground and started waving the broom again.
In addition to helping the old lady, the more important reason for taking the initiative to clear the snow is that in such a world of ice and snow, only by keeping moving can the body not be frozen, and even be warm and sweating.
.
However, I was really hungry.
Caressing her belly, Wan Qing began to look around. While thinking, Mrs. Su only said that if you can't leave this yard, then the woods should also be accessible.
However, at this season, there should be nothing edible in the woods.
Sighing softly, he pushed a ball of dirty snow to the edge of the woods and looked into the woods again, wondering whether he should go in and try his luck.
After thinking about it, she gave up. She wouldn't starve to death if she didn't eat for a day, but if Mrs. Su refused to accept her because she ate something, it wouldn't be worthwhile.
Thinking about this, Wan Qing walked a few steps into the woods and found a piece of unsoiled snow. She held a handful of snow and rubbed her hands vigorously. She did this four or five times until her hands were clean.
He took another handful of clean snow, lowered his head, and took some into his mouth.
"His!" Wan Qing grinned subconsciously, it was really cold.

But she still pursed her lips tightly, waiting for all the snow to turn into water, and waiting for the cold temperature to slowly warm up and become no longer so cold, then she slowly swallowed it.
"Huh!" Wan Qing let out a long breath, and Wan Qing couldn't help but laugh, "It's so enjoyable."
After drinking several sips of snow water, Wan Qing felt that her whole body was trembling, and her mouth was already numb from the cold, so she returned to where she was sweeping the snow and continued to sweep it again and again.
"Junior sister, what do you think?" Hongyun asked Mrs. Su, her eyes full of heartache. At this time, she and Mrs. Su were standing on a tree in the woods. They had been watching Wan Qing there.
"I'm curious when she plans to start untying the knot." Mrs. Su said calmly, but there was also a touch of warmth in her eyes when she looked at Wan Qing.
Hongyun immediately frowned. She had untied those knots back then. It was impossible to untie them in two hours. Moreover, Wan Qing seemed to have no intention of untying the knots.
"Senior sister, let's go. You can't help us if we watch here." Mrs. Su put her arms around Hongyun's waist and jumped off the tree. If Wan Qing saw it, she would be shocked and would be extremely ecstatic.
That was martial arts. It was the martial arts she had seen on TV and in books, and it was the dream in her heart!
Hongyun glanced at Wan Qing again reluctantly, but still left with Mrs. Su.
