A stunning beauty came to the compound[70s]

At four o'clock in the morning in Beijing, the cold wind was howling, mixed with snowflakes, blowing coolly on people's faces.

Gu Chengan regretted it after just a few steps.

The man who was like a wall stopped and looked back at Su Yin, "It's too cold, you go back and rest, I'll go to the queue to buy, give me the food."

Su Yin's face was still red from the cold even though she was fully armed. She raised her head in the cold wind, hiding the lower half of her face in the gray scarf, and put her hands in the pockets of her cotton jacket with gloves to keep warm, "No, we agreed, I still want to see what it looks like, let's go."

There was no such opportunity in the countryside before. During the New Year and other festivals, we hoped that the village would have a good harvest, and we could get one or two pounds of pork when slaughtering pigs, and cook a few more rich dishes than usual. It was a luxury to be able to cook with pork fat.

No matter how cold the weather was, Su Yin, who had already mustered up the courage to get up, would never go back.

"Let's go, hurry up!" Su Yin raised her chin towards him, "Otherwise we won't be able to buy the best hairtail fish."

Seeing Su Yin's insistence, Gu Cheng'an reached out from his military coat, pressed down the brim of her cotton hat, covered her cotton ear clips with both hands, and tightened them, and then he was satisfied, "You walk behind me, the wind will be less."

Su Yin was startled by Gu Cheng'an's actions, and felt his hands busy on her hat and ear clips. For a moment, the thick palm covered her, and she seemed to be able to feel the scalding heat through a layer of cloth.

The sky was full of wind and snow. Su Yin wrapped herself in a cotton padded jacket and walked forward with her neck shrunk. The man in front of her did block most of the cold wind. Su Yin's thick cotton boots stepped on the snow, and her feet were soft, leaving shallow shoe prints.

In front was the shoe print of Gu Cheng'an. Su Yin fell two steps behind and stepped on it, leaving a slightly smaller shoe print next to him, as if they were walking side by side.

In the dark morning, the sky was still dark, and a long queue had formed in front of the grocery store. The residents were dressed warmly, yawning and queuing, holding grocery books in their hands, with a list of grocery products specially provided for this year's Spring Festival.

Gu Chengan asked where the team was, and found that three columns had already been formed. He took Su Yin to the middle column.

"The left and right columns can still block the wind for you."

Su Yin only showed a pair of clear eyes. When she heard this, she was worried that the people in the two columns next to her would hear it, so she whispered to Gu Chengan, "Huh~"

It was not nice to hear this, but it made sense. The middle column was longer, but it was warmer.

"Are you still cold?" Gu Chengan spoke as if he was breathing out white air.

Su Yin looked at Gu Chengan and shook his head, and his round body wrapped up showed a bit of playfulness.

There were crowds of people around. It was the first time Su Yin had seen such a scene. Those who came early had already chosen their side dishes and left with satisfaction.

Aunt Wu said yesterday that all the special foods for the Spring Festival were of the same type and would only be sold in installments. From today to the day after tomorrow, hairtail, tofu, preserved eggs, and sesame oil and sugar would be on sale. They would not be available after these four days.
