Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 335 It’s snowing

The next morning, Yu Yu turned over in the warm bed. Half asleep and half awake, she felt that the room was much brighter than usual.

She opened her eyes drowsily and saw that the window was covered with crystal ice flowers.

"It's snowing!" Yu Yu woke up suddenly, jumped out of bed excitedly, put on the thick furry coat quickly, and wrapped herself up like a dumpling.

She ran out the door in a hurry, shouting as she ran: "Mom, I'm going out to play for a while!"

Xiaoyu reminded from behind: "Come back early, don't run too far!"

In the yard, all the other dogs were huddled in their kennels, but the Husky was full of energy. As soon as he saw Yu Yu come out, he immediately wagged his tail happily and circled around her.

"I knew you were the most playful. Come on, let's go to the street!" Yu Yu touched the Husky's head, and the man and the dog went out.

The streets of Chang'an seemed to be dressed in pure white as if by the magical painter of nature with a stroke of a brush.

Snowflakes fluttered down like petals scattered by fairies.

Long icicles hung under the eaves, sparkling with colorful light under the sunlight.

Yu Yu stretched out her hand and caught a snowflake. Before she could see it clearly, the snowflake turned into a drop of crystal water in her palm.

The Husky was having fun in the snow, running forward and backward, and occasionally using his nose to push up the snow, having a lot of fun.

Pedestrians on the road slowed down their pace and admired this rare snow scene.

There were a few children making a snowman on the street. Seeing this, Yu Yu ran over to join them.

Everyone, you roll a snowball and I build a body, and soon, a snowman is ready.

Yu Yu took out her red scarf from her pocket and wrapped it around the snowman. She then found two stones to use as the snowman's eyes, and the snowman immediately came to life.

Tired of playing, Yu Yu leaned against a tree on the street to rest, and the Husky lay quietly at her feet.

Looking at the world covered in snow in front of him, Yu Yu's heart was filled with joy.

She thought that when she returned to the tavern, she must tell her mother and brother about the beautiful snow scene, and also take them to see the snow together.

Yu Yu squatted in the snow, gently scooped up a handful of snow with her little hands, and felt the coolness coming from her fingertips.

The Husky was happily digging the snow, rubbing its head against Yu Yu's arm from time to time, as if inviting her to continue playing.

Yuyu, however, was lost in her own thoughts. Gazing at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, she couldn't help but sigh, "Before traveling through time and space to the Tang Dynasty, I'd never seen snow like this. I only remember a small amount of snow falling one year, but it melted away before I could get a good look at it. It's nothing like now. The entire Chang'an is covered in snow, as beautiful as a painting."

She thought back to the past, when she lived in that fast-paced modern world with tall buildings and heavy traffic.

People are always in a hurry and don’t even have time to appreciate the snow.

And now, in the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City, time seems to have slowed down. She can play in the snow to her heart's content and feel the purest gift of nature.

The snow fell on her eyelashes, cool. She blinked, and the snowflakes on her eyelashes turned into drops of water and rolled down.

Yu Yu raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a bright smile.

She stood up, brushed off the snow on her body, and said to the Husky, "Come on, let's continue playing. We can't let such beautiful snow go to waste!"

The Husky seemed to understand what she said, barked excitedly twice, and started running in the snow again.

Yu Yu chased after it, and her laughter echoed in the streets of Chang'an after the snow.

Passersby on the street looked sideways at this lively and lovely little girl and were also infected by her happiness.

Tired from playing, Yu Yu sat on a stone bench on the street, warming his hands with his breath.

She looked at everything around her, her heart filled with gratitude.

I am glad that I came to Datang, and I am glad that I could encounter this snow in this winter.

Yu Yu played in the snow until her whole body was warm and her little face was rosy like a ripe apple.

The Husky also had a great time, sticking out his tongue and following behind Yu Yu.

She skipped back to the tavern, and as soon as she opened the door, hot air carrying the familiar aroma of food hit her face.

Xiaoyu was just coming out of the kitchen. Seeing Yuyu's expression, she pretended to be angry and said, "You're willing to come back? I thought you were going to play outside until dark."

Yuyu giggled, ran to Xiaoyu, took her arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, the snow is so beautiful today! I even made a snowman with the kids on the street and wrapped it with my red scarf. It looks so beautiful!"

Xiaoyu smiled helplessly and gently tapped Yuyu's nose: "Look at you, covered in snow. Come over and warm yourself by the fire. Don't catch a cold." As she said that, she pulled Yuyu to the stove.

Yu Yu sat by the fireplace, and the Husky lay obediently at her feet.

While warming herself by the fire, Yuyu excitedly told Xiaoyu about the fun things she had experienced outside: "Mom, the snow fell on my hands and it was so cold that it melted away immediately. Also, that husky was so naughty, running around in the snow and splashing snow all over me."

Xiaoyu listened quietly, her eyes full of doting: "You, you just love to play. But seeing you having so much fun, Mom is happy too."

At this time, Li Hao came out from the inner room and said with a smile, "Sister, you had such a great time. Did you bring anything back for me?"

Yuyu tilted her head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She took out a round stone from her pocket and handed it to Li Hao: "Brother, I found this in the snow. Isn't it beautiful? Consider it a gift for you!"

Li Hao took the stone and said, "This gift is really special."

The family sat around the fireplace, and their laughter echoed in the tavern.

Outside the window, snowflakes fell, covering the streets of Chang'an with a dense layer of white.

In the tavern, the warm fire was jumping, dispelling the winter chill.

Yu Yu's family sat around the table, on which were several cups of steaming tea, the aroma of tea wafting in the air.

Yu Yu held the teacup, took a sip, and felt the warmth spread from the tip of her tongue to her whole body.

Her eyes sparkled, filled with nostalgia for the snowy scene, and she couldn't help but speak: "You said, before we traveled through time, it only snowed briefly. It's nothing like here, where once it snows, the whole world changes."

Xiaoyu smiled, looking at Yuyu tenderly, and continued, "Yes, it never snowed there before. Coming to Datang, I actually have the opportunity to enjoy the snow and feel this gift from heaven."

Li Hao also put down his teacup and said with emotion, "Indeed, before I traveled through time, it never snowed over there. Now that I think about it, it's quite a pity."

Yuyu blinked and asked curiously, "Mom, if we hadn't traveled through time and were still in our original world, what would we be doing now?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Maybe my family is all working. Even if it really snows, we'll probably just take a quick look from the window. We won't have time to play in the snow like we do now."

Xiaoyu sighed softly and reached out to touch Yuyu's head: "No matter what happened in the past, it is a blessing for our family to be together now, sitting around drinking tea and chatting in this snowy scenery of the Tang Dynasty."

Yuyu nodded vigorously, a happy smile on her face: "I think so too, now is the best time. From now on, every year when it snows, we can watch it together!"

The fire illuminated their faces, and the laughter of the family weaved into the warmest time in this snowy winter.
