Just when we thought the snow would stop soon, the overwhelming news stunned us.
"Global temperatures are rapidly dropping. Please prepare for extreme cold, which is expected to last about half a month."
In just about a week, both indoor and outdoor temperatures had dropped to minus fifty degrees.
Fortunately, in this rural area, every household had its own stove, so it was not too cold.
They grew vegetables, so we didn't go hungry.
But I didn't expect my sister to cause trouble again. Being pregnant, she demanded fresh fruit.
At a time like that, who would have had fresh fruit at home?
Her boyfriend looked a bit troubled as he said, "Well, there are cherry trees on the hill behind our house, but…"
His meaning was clear. But as it never snowed in this place before, no one had thick clothes on hand.
In this kind of weather, if anyone were to go up the hill to pick cherries, they might freeze to death before they even got there.
But how could my sister, being such a spoiled princess, ever give up? Wrapped in the only thick blanket in the house, she cried, gasping for breath between sobs.
