After having eaten and drunk to our hearts' content, I subconsciously looked out of the window again. The snow was already ankle-deep and showed no sign of stopping.
I was a little worried and suggested that everyone sleep in the basement.
My parents thought the temperature wasn't too low yet. They chose a bedroom and went back to the room to prepare for rest. After being busy all night, it was time for a good sleep.
If any of my parents or Aji were gone, I wouldn't want to live alone. If we were to freeze to death overnight, I also wanted to be with the ones I loved the most when I died!
Aji and I also returned to our room. Before drawing the curtains, I took another look at the sky. It seemed to be getting redder...
Next to us was a large farmers' market. The hawking sounds came one after another. Maybe everyone was stocking up. After all, with such heavy snow, everyone surely knew that the temperature was about to drop. Who would want to go out to buy groceries every day in such cold days?
Outside, children had already started to have snowball fights and build snowmen. This is childhood innocence.
I drew the curtains.
When I woke up, because the air conditioner was on, the room was very warm and the wifi network was still available.
The news said that heating would start in the urban area tomorrow.
More news reports stated that today, heavy to blizzard conditions suddenly appeared in many areas, and light to moderate snow occurred in some local areas. Our country witnessed the largest snowfall in history.
The news called on all citizens to avoid moving around if possible and stay indoors if possible.
I drew the curtains and slightly opened a crack in the window. Whew, it's so cold.
I shivered and quickly closed the window.
