After all, he is a child, Xiao Zhao's chubby little face can't hide his disappointment.

He is very fancy about the government examination four months later. He gets up every day when the cock crows and recites the poems taught by his master yesterday. He never dares to be distracted in class, just to get good grades in the government examination.

The twins bonded, feeling Xiaozhao's sadness, Xiaoyou also stopped gnawing the chicken leg, with her small mouth deflated, feeling that she was also depressed.

She didn't care that her little hands were still greasy, and hugged Xiao Zhao to comfort her: "Zhao Zhao, don't be sad, you are so smart, even after three years you can still pass those big potatoes!"

She called all the other students in the private school Big Potatoes, because she thought those people had yellow faces, frowned and shook their heads all day long, like potatoes just plucked from the ground, and none of them looked good.

"Oh my new clothes!"

Seeing two dark oil palm prints on the newly made clothes made by the elder sister, Xiao Zhao couldn't care less about being disappointed.

"Curly! Can you be gentle!"

He couldn't help but pouted his little mouth, but he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his sister's little hands.

The interaction between the two cubs is cute and the other four have a look on their faces, which is too cute.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Zheng Dongyang cleared his throat, raised his posture as a teacher and said, "Xiao Zhao, there are travelers in high mountains, and ferrymen in deep waters, but it's only three years later. I believe you will win the championship by then!"

"Yeah, we Zhaozhao are so smart, and there will be a college exam then, let's have a little Sanyuan!" Old man Cen also joined the encouraging team.

Xiaoxun directly gave Xiaozhao a chicken wing to imply flying high, and gave him an affirmative look by the way.

Under the comfort of the whole family, Xiao Zhao's little face also showed fighting spirit.

"Okay, then I will eat well and grow taller quickly, and I will definitely get good grades in the exam in three years!"

He took a big mouthful of rice, his cheeks puffed up.

Seeing that he had regained his energy, everyone was relieved, and had a lively New Year's Eve dinner again.

On New Year's Eve, except for the two cubs who couldn't hold back and fell asleep early, the four adults didn't go to rest until midnight. When the sound of gongs and drums came from outside the door the next day, they were still sleeping soundly.

Xiaoruo struggled to get up from the warm blanket, the blanket is alive in winter, it can always grab someone tightly and stay warm for a while.

"What's the matter? What happened? It's so noisy..."

She pushed open the window and looked out, Xiaoxun didn't know when she had gone out before, and was closing the courtyard door and going back.

"Axun, who is outside beating the gong?"

Xiaoxun came to her window and moved to the right side of her body to block the north wind blowing into the room along the window crack.

"It's the people from the government. They went door to door to check whether the houses are firm. They said that there was too much snow last night, and the roofs of several houses in the west were crushed."

"What! The roof collapsed?!" Xiaoruo was taken aback.

Last night was New Year's Eve, every household was a family reunion, if the house collapsed, wouldn't the whole family...

"What about people? Are there many casualties?"

Xiao Xun shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, the guards I just notified didn't mention it."

Before the two of them could finish talking, old man Cen and Zheng Dongyang, who were also woken up, also got up, put their heads out in fur clothes, and asked what happened.

Xiaoxun repeated what he had just said to the two old men.

"I'm afraid there are many casualties..." Zheng Dongyang shook his head and sighed.

Old man Cen squinted his eyes and looked at the sky. There were still snowflakes floating in the sky. Now the snowflakes were finely divided, and there was no way to see the power to crush the house.

"It's been so many years since I've seen such a long snowfall... Ruo Ruo, the ramie root and baiji we made years ago are still in the warehouse, why don't you..."

Before old man Cen could finish his sentence, Xiaoruo walked out of the house while pulling her broken hair. She was wearing a windbreaker cloak, and she was dressed as if she was about to go out.

"Hey, I know, I'll take it to the Chamber of Commerce later."

Both ramie root and baiji have the effect of stopping bleeding and constricting wounds. Old man Cen has been a pharmacist all his life, and the benevolence of a doctor is engraved in his bones.

She understood what old man Cen meant. He was afraid that too many people would be injured and there would not be enough hemostatic medicine in the pharmacy.

Brought two big baskets from the stove, Xiaoxun quickly helped her pack the herbs, and insisted on going to the chamber of commerce with her.

"Brother Xiao! Is Brother Xiao at home?"

The gate of the courtyard was slapped vigorously, and it was Ma Laosan's voice.

Zheng Dongyang hurried to open the door.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, Ma Laosan stepped in. First, he clasped his fists to salute the second elder, and then continued to shout: "Brother Xiao! Big brother asked me to come to you!"

Xiaoxun came out of the storeroom with a bamboo basket, which was already full of ramie roots and baiji.

"Brother Ma, is there something urgent?"

"Last night, a lot of houses were collapsed by the snow on the west side of the city, and many people were buried. I'm afraid there are not enough people to rely on the yamen servants alone. The elder brother said that if the brothers in the escort agency are free, they will all go to help dig people. Are you going?"

"Go!" Xiaoxun put the bamboo basket on his shoulder and said, "I'll come as soon as I deliver the bamboo basket to the chamber of commerce, you go first!"

"Hey! Good!"

Ma Laosan notified that he was in place, and clasped his fists at several people, and hurriedly joined Jiang Ping.

"Don't give it away, I will take some medicinal materials to the chamber of commerce first, and let other pharmacy staff come to pick them up later when there is not enough."

Xiaoruo stopped Xiaoxun who was about to follow her and said, "It's important to save people, you should hurry up and join Brother Jiang and the others!"

She knows very well that the best rescue time for being buried in the snow is extremely short, and if she can be dug out sooner, the possibility of survival will be more likely.

Seeing the firm expression on Xiaoruo's fair face, Xiaoxun nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful."

"Well, be careful yourself."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Xun took the dagger and ran towards the door. His figure was extremely fast, and he disappeared at the end of the white street in an instant.

Xiaoruo used a bamboo basket if she couldn't hold a bamboo basket. After filling it with medicinal materials, she told the two old people to take care of the cubs at home.

Old man Cen offered to go to the pharmacy with her several times, but she rejected them all. The road is slippery in snowy weather. He is an old man with old arms and legs. If he falls, it is not a joke.

Stepping onto the bamboo basket and holding an umbrella, Xiao Ruo plunged into the snow.

Although there was snow today, there was no wind, so she didn't need to put up an umbrella. She just had to be careful not to slip on the ground under her feet. Even so, it took a quarter of an hour longer than usual to get to Mao'er Lane.

The headquarters of the Qinzhou Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce was set up in the small courtyard where they first secretly gathered.

Opening the door and entering, there were already three people gathered in the courtyard, the shopkeeper Qian from Tongji Pharmacy, the shopkeeper Huang from Renxin Pharmacy, and the shopkeeper Ding from Jiuxin Medical Center.

The three of them are the principals of the chamber of commerce. After hearing about the snow disaster in the morning, they came here by coincidence.

"Miss Xiao! We are planning to send someone to invite you!"

Shopkeeper Qian let out a breath of white air, his chubby face was covered with fine beads of sweat on such a cold day.

Xiaoruo greeted the three of them one by one, and led them into the main house together, so as not to suffer from the cold in the courtyard.

Shopkeeper Qian was all overweight, but Shopkeeper Ding, who was on the thinner side, started to chatter with his teeth.

"Presumably everyone is here today because of the snow disaster."

Putting the bamboo basket on the table, Xiaoruo lifted the blue cloth covering it, revealing a basket full of ramie roots and white berries.

She pointed to the basket and said, "These are medicinal materials that my family made before, and I still have them in the warehouse. You can send a few guys to my house to bring them later."
