Old Mrs. Qin focused her gaze, "Frostbite cream, huh? How thoughtful of you." But this year, she probably won't need it, as getting frostbite is from not wearing warm clothes, and this year her daughter-in-law bought two heavy cotton-padded jackets for her.
With heating inside the house during winter, she can cook and do laundry in the kitchen without getting cold.

Li Qiao concentrated on her translation work; it had gotten dark without her noticing, and Old Mrs. Qin called her to eat.

As soon as she picked up the basin, Qin Jin came back. "Qiaoqiao, there's stilt-walking and flower boat playing in the West Street District. Want to join the fun?"
Li Qiao said, "It's far, by the time we get there they'll probably have finished."
