Mr. and Mrs. Li happily ran toward the oxcart, but Li Shi was not the one on it. Instead, it was Li Dazhuang who visited them.
He looked at the older couple and said, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Li. I came to deliver a message. Li Shi says it's snowing heavily today, and many customers are at the hotpot restaurant.
"He can't come home to rest, so he'll stay at the restaurant's backyard instead, mainly because he doesn't know when work will finish. Still, the snow will get heavier when he finishes, and traversing the roads will be challenging."
Li Dazhuang had gone to deliver ingredients to the hotpot restaurants, so Li Shi asked him to notify his parents that he would not be returning so they would not worry.
Mr. and Mrs. Li were somewhat disappointed. Mrs. Li had even made dumplings and was waiting for her son to come home to eat. She said, "Thank you for coming here to tell us, Dazhuang."
