Li Yu smiled. "Go ahead. You don't have to be so polite when you're outside."
"Aye! Young Madam," He Tiezhu agreed with a smile and went out with the fodder.
Li Yu walked to the courtyard and saw that the sky was still gray. There were no signs of sunny weather. It was already white outside the house. Under the eaves and on the treetops behind the house, they were hung with crystal clear ice.
On the way out of the courtyard, Li Yu stepped on the snow until it reached the back of her feet. She looked up and saw no traces of anyone walking on the road. The world seemed to have lost other colors and turned into a vast expanse of white.
Li Yu watched from outside for a while. When she returned to the house, she realized that everyone had woken up. Xiaoyu and Ah Gou had already started cooking.
When Xiaoyu saw Li Yu return, she pointed at the copper pot on the mud stove. "Young Madam, have you washed up? There's hot water in the pot."
