The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 516 Neighborhood Mutual Assistance

Chapter 516 Neighborhood Mutual Assistance

After tidying up briefly, Li Qin climbed into bed.

Although snowflakes were falling outside, Li Qin's home was warm and comfortable.

I didn't feel cold at all.

After studying in bed for a while, Li Qin fell asleep immediately.

He had originally planned to go to Hong Kong tonight.

But in this kind of weather, Li Qin really didn't want to move.

Of course, the main reason is that there are no major or important events happening in Hong Kong.

It doesn't matter if it's a day late; at least it won't cause any major impact.

It was already the second day.

Normally, Li Qin would sleep until around eight o'clock before getting up.

But today he was woken up by the noise outside.

Fortunately, Li Qin slept very well and for a long time, so he wasn't grumpy when he was woken up.

He was just curious about what was making all the noise outside.

Li Qin got up, put on his clothes, and quickly washed up with the hot water heated by the fireplace.

At the same time, the fireplace was repaired.

Only then did he open the door, lift the curtain, and step out of the house;

The moment Li Qin stepped outside, he saw nothing but pure white.

It felt like the whole world was a vast expanse of white.

"I didn't expect it to actually snow all night last night."

After glancing at the thickness of the snow on the ground, Li Qin was already certain that the snow had been falling almost continuously last night.

Moreover, even now, tiny snowflakes continue to fall from the sky.

"Li Qin, you're up."

Upon seeing Li Qin emerge from his house, Xu Damao, who was shoveling snow in front of his own door, immediately greeted him with a smile.

Li Qin noticed that not only Xu Damao, but also Liu Haizhong's sons and others were all sweeping the snow off the ground.

He was just woken up by the noise of these people shoveling snow.

Li Qin smiled and nodded at Xu Damao: "Yes!"

"Shouldn't we wait for the snow to stop before shoveling it? If we shovel it now and it snows again later, wouldn't all our work have been for nothing?"

""

He then asked Xu Damao.

According to Li Qin's idea, they should definitely wait until the snow stops before doing this.

Xu Damao nodded first, then smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but if we don't clear the snow in front of the door, it will be inconvenient to come and go."

Xu Damao paused briefly at this point.

He then pointed to the sky and continued, "And look, the sky is starting to brighten today, so this snow will probably stop completely soon."

Li Qin looked up and immediately realized that it was indeed as Xu Damao had said.

Compared to yesterday's gloomy weather, the sky is indeed much brighter today.

And the snowflakes are indeed getting smaller and fewer.

It looks like this snow won't last much longer.

Thinking of this, Li Qin smiled immediately;

"Then I'll shovel the snow too."

After saying that, Li Qin turned around and went back home, where he took out a shovel and a large broom from the storage room.

Snow removal is not simply about shoveling it away; after shoveling, it also needs to be swept to ensure that the snowflakes are completely removed.

Otherwise, wait until the temperature rises a little, and the snowflakes will begin to melt.

Everything will be wet then.

With Li Qin joining the team, the snow-shoveling crew in the backyard grew even larger, and the scene became even more lively.

Everyone chatted while working.

It's so discordant.

Although Li Qin looked down on Liu Haizhong, he didn't have much prejudice against Liu's sons.

Although in the story, the three sons of the Liu family are very disrespectful to Liu Haizhong and his wife, just as the deaf old lady said;

Unkind parents lead to unfilial children.

This cannot be entirely blamed on Liu's sons.

At this time, the relationship between neighbors is still very close, except for those who have grudges against each other.

At least most of the neighbors have very amicable relationships.

The saying "a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative" is not a figurative expression or an exaggeration, but rather a reflection of the truth.

Li Qin, Xu Damao, and the others first shoveled all the snow in front of their houses, and then they worked together to clear the snow from the backyard as well.

Because the deaf old woman was very old, they even shoveled the snow in front of her door.

Li Qin had no objection to this matter.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Qin was willing to be close to the deaf old woman; he simply treated her as an elderly person and took care of her.

Moreover, doing this can also boost one's reputation.

There were other people working together, but Li Qin didn't actually do much.

As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and with everyone's concerted efforts, the snow in the backyard was quickly cleared away.

"I felt a bit cold just now, but I didn't expect to feel warm up after just a little activity."

Xu Damao patted the snowflakes off his hands.

Li Qin nodded in agreement.

The activity just now thoroughly warmed up my body, so I naturally didn't feel cold anymore.

"That being said, don't be careless. The worst thing in winter is to go from cold to hot, as that can easily make you sick."

Li Qin looked at Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu.

"Especially you younger ones, you need to be careful."

After saying that, he immediately reached into his pocket, took out a handful of fruit candies, and distributed them to everyone.

Don't underestimate these ordinary fruit candies; they still have a considerable appeal.

This is especially true for Liu Haiguang and Liu Guangfu.

Although the Liu family was well-off, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were treated like stepchildren, holding the lowest status in the family.

Even if there are good things in the house, they never get a chance to have them.

They could count the number of times they had eaten fruit candy on one hand from childhood to adulthood.

Moreover, on several occasions, he received the candy from Li Qin.

Li Qin knew about the two little ones' situation, so after giving some fruit candies to Liu Guangqi and Xu Damao, he gave the rest to Liu's two youngest sons.

After receiving the candy, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu immediately thanked Li Qin repeatedly.

Their eyes were filled with gratitude as they looked at Li Qin.

Li Qin, however, did not care much about this.

Even excluding the candies he ate before transmigrating, Li Qin was still able to enjoy candy freedom after transmigrating.

So he really didn't like candy much.

After sending away the children who had received the candy, Li Qin took out a box of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to each of Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and two other residents in the backyard.

The group then went home separately.

Although I felt warm after exercising, it didn't change the outside temperature.

Now that the event is over, if you stay outside, you'll soon feel the cold again.

Besides, everyone came out to shovel snow early this morning, and now it's time to go home and have breakfast.

Li Qin didn't realize that while they were shoveling snow in the backyard, the deaf old woman had actually gotten up.

However, the other person is indeed quite old and is somewhat sensitive to the cold.

So the door was not opened.

However, he did get up and stood quietly behind the window watching Li Qin and the others work.

Especially when she saw Li Qin leading everyone to help her sweep the snow, a strange light flashed in the deaf old woman's eyes as she looked at Li Qin.

The deaf old woman's figure disappeared behind the window only after Li Qin and the others returned to their respective homes.
