Mrs. Zhao began talking about the winters in the Capital City.
"You don't know, when it snows, once you step out of the house, everything is covered in white. Whether it's the rooftops, the roads, the trees, or the cars parked outside, all of them...are covered in snow..."
"How do people go out with such heavy snow?"
"People still have to go to work or to school, it's not a big deal. But when the wind blows, it's especially cold. You must wear a hat, gloves, earmuffs, and a mask when going out, otherwise, if you get too cold, you're prone to frostbite."
Is it that cold?
"What about food then?"
Mrs. Zhao saw that they were all looking at her and said, "Before it starts to snow, we store vegetables like radishes, cabbages, potatoes, winter melons, and pumpkins."
"That's the same as what we do here."
"Laosan's Wife bought you new clothes, didn't she? The sweater you're wearing is new, isn't it?" One of the aunties with sharp eyes noticed Mrs. Zhao's sweater.
