After the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ren He completely relaxed. It was only then that he learned that Zhou Wumeng and the others hadn't even gone home for the holiday but had spent it in the mountain village instead.
It wasn't that they wanted to celebrate the New Year with the children; the children also needed to celebrate with their own families. However, when they were ready to return, a heavy snowfall had sealed off the entire mountain road, and they had no choice but to stay in the newly built school dormitories to get through the Spring Festival.
The newly built dormitories were very damp, and they didn't have enough living supplies. They could only buy from villagers in the mountainous area. Even so, they couldn't eat or sleep well, and it was so cold at night that they couldn't sleep at all.
Elder Zhou fell ill with a high fever that lasted for seven days; only now was he slowly recovering.
