"Sure, what shall we play?" Lian Manman thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she whispered into Zhang Caiyun's ear, "Let's find my brother and go ice sliding... Don't let my dad and mom know."
"Okay, great," Zhang Caiyun said, delighted.
"It's so cold outside, you two better just stay inside the house," Lian Zhizhi said with a laugh, having heard Lian Manman and Zhang Caiyun's conversation.
"Sis, we're just going to play for a bit, you have to keep it a secret for us," Lian Manman quickly said.
Lian Zhizhi laughed softly.
Then Lian Manman and Zhang Caiyun put on their shoes and got off the kang (a traditional Chinese heated bed).
"Where are you two going? It's almost mealtime," Lady Zhang asked, looking concerned.
"We're going to find my brother and tell him to come home for dinner," Lian Manman said, "and incidentally, Sister Caiyun will take a look at our family's shop."
"Go quickly and come back soon, don't play outside," Lady Zhang said.
