Du Xiaoshuan would always bring food for his sister whenever he collected ingredients for the hotpot restaurants. Then Du Xiaoju would share her food with Li Mei, saying Du Xiaoshuan had brought enough for two of them to eat.
Li Mei no longer felt sleepy when she thought about that. She thought her sisters had already fallen asleep, but one of them suddenly spoke up, "Big Sister, it's good that Xiaoshuan came to help us fix our roof. Otherwise, it would have collapsed like before with such heavy snow, right?"
The family could not sleep if there were a blizzard in the past. It was freezing, and their brick bed would be cold because they had to use their firewood sparingly.
Now that Li Mei and Li Wei were earning money, they could afford to buy charcoal for their furnace and use more firewood to warm their brick beds. They also had new cotton blankets to keep themselves warm.
