Chapter 793 Shoveling Snow on the Street
After lunch, the heavy snow that had fallen in Kyoto all night and all morning finally stopped.
Thick snow covered the city and the outskirts of Kyoto, and the streets were flooded with snow.
Chu Chenjing originally planned to take his princess to a villa outside the city to live for a few days and enjoy some leisure time.
However, the sudden heavy snow disrupted his plan. Looking out the window at the vast expanse of white, Chu Chenjing said helplessly to Ouyang Yunyao: "Yaoyao, the snow is too heavy, and the snow on the road is too thick, the carriage can't move at all. It seems that we can't leave the city today and go to the villa."
Ouyang Yunyao said indifferently: "It's difficult for a person to walk in such thick snow, let alone a carriage. We can go to the villa anytime."
Chu Chenjing frowned as he looked at the thick snow and said, "Yaoyao, it's snowing so heavily, I'm still worried, I'll go to the military camp and take a look."
"Okay, if you want to go and have a look, I'll go to West Street to see the kids later."
"Well, Yaoyao, I'm going to the military camp. Don't go out now. Wait until the snow on the street is cleared. It's cold outside and the road is not safe." Chu Chenjing nodded and reminded her.
Ouyang Yunyao smiled gently: "Okay, you should ride slowly when you go out on horseback."
"Don't worry." Chu Chenjing rubbed Ouyang Yunyao's head and kissed her, then he smiled slightly and left with Chu Feng.
Not long after Chu Chenjing left, Ouyang Yunyao couldn't wait to say to Xiao Cui and Xia Fei: "Fei'er, Xiao Cui, let's go to West Street now."
Xia Fei hurriedly said, "Princess, you can't go out now. Didn't the prince tell you to wait until the snow on the street is cleared before going out?"
Ouyang Yunyao smiled and said to Xia Fei, "If I don't say that, will the prince be relieved? Hurry up, let's go to Huicui House and organize the children to go to the street to shovel snow."
"Princess, shoveling snow?" Xia Fei opened his eyes wide, looking surprised.
Xiao Cui asked excitedly: "Princess, is it like what we did in the border town?"
Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows, smiled, and nodded. "That's right! Just like in the border town."
She recalled from the original owner's memory that when she was in the border town, whenever it snowed heavily, the soldiers and civilians in the city would work together to go to the streets to shovel snow.
Xia Fei and Xiao Cui immediately said, "Princess, let's set off now!"
"Okay, let's get going."
Ouyang Yunyao, Xiao Cui, Xia Fei and Wei Lei quickly left the palace and ran towards Huicui Residence on West Street, secretly following An Yi and An Er.
The snow along the road was not even above the calves, making it very difficult to walk on the street.
Xiao Cui and Xia Fei followed behind and kept shouting, "Princess, please be careful, the road is slippery."
But Ouyang Yunyao didn't care at all. These were no big deal to her. When she walked onto the street, she saw some city guards clearing the snow on the street. They were just shoveling out a path.
When Ouyang Yunyao and her group just walked to West Street, a surprising scene appeared before her eyes.
A group of children were busy shoveling the snow off the street.
These children had red ribbons fluttering on their chests. Under the leadership of Xia Yan and Mr. He, some were shoveling snow, while others were sweeping snow.
Their little hands were red from the cold, but their faces were filled with bright smiles, and many children had steam coming out of their heads.
"Sister Princess!" When the children saw Ouyang Yunyao, they immediately stopped what they were doing, surrounded her excitedly, and chattered.
Ouyang Yunyao looked at the group of children with rosy cheeks, her heart filled with warmth. She smiled and said:
"Little Red Team kids, you did a great job! You shoveled snow on the street in such a cold day. Great job!"
"Report to Princess Sister, we will definitely clear the snow on the road." Qiao Yusheng made a red bow to Ouyang Yunyao and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"Good! You did a great job! Keep it up. There will be a reward tonight!"
"Yes, Princess Sister!" the children said in unison.
When the children heard this, they became more excited and worked even harder. They cheered and continued to clear the snow.
Ouyang Yunyao then said to Xia Yan who was beside her: "Yan'er, you did a good job! You really thought about what I was thinking about when you did this."
"Princess, shoveling snow was everyone's idea. It was proposed by Mr. Qiao, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wu, and Mr. Mo, and the children also responded positively." Xia Yan said with a blushing face.
"You organized it well. Give out New Year rewards to everyone in the evening." Ouyang Yunyao gave Xia Yan a thumbs up.
Immediately, Ouyang Yunyao and the people she brought with her also joined the snow shoveling operation on the street.
The waiters at Ouyang Yunyao's No. 1 Hotpot Restaurant, following Xing'er, also joined in the snow shoveling operation.
Many common people on the main street saw Princess Jing shoveling snow herself and joined in the action.
Everyone worked together, and there was strength in numbers. Before sunset, the snow in the streets of Kyoto had been cleared, allowing pedestrians and carriages to pass smoothly.
Everyone felt a sense of accomplishment as they looked at the snow being cleared.
Ouyang Yunyao looked at the snow-shoveled streets and said to everyone, "People, you have worked hard. Everyone should go back and rest early."
"Thank you for your hard work, Princess!" The people greeted Ouyang Yunyao together and then went home one after another.
Ouyang Yunyao also ordered her people to go back, "Okay, Xing'er, you take the hot pot restaurant staff and guards back to the restaurant first. We will continue to open the restaurant tonight, and everyone will have a holiday tomorrow. We will reopen after the New Year."
"Yes, Princess." Xing'er left with the waiters and guards of the hot pot restaurant.
Ouyang Yunyao first went to Huicui House with the children and distributed rewards to all the people in Fengyun Pavilion.
The children received new clothes, snacks and some money. They were so excited that they jumped and danced in the yard.
Others received generous rewards. Some people shed tears when they looked at the silver in their hands.
Most of them were bought by Ouyang Yunyao, and now they not only have jobs, but also monthly salaries and bonuses, which they could not even imagine before.
"Princess, thank you." Qiao Yidao said with a sob.
Ouyang Yunyao looked at him and said, "Master Qiao, we are all family, don't be polite."
Then Ouyang Yunyao said to everyone: "If you have family, you can go back and reunite with them during the New Year.
Others take turns here to look after the children, and their monthly salary will not be deducted during the holidays."
"Princess, don't worry. I will be here during the New Year and on duty every day." Qiao Yidao said.
"Princess, we are all here, don't worry." Everyone spoke.
Ouyang Yunyao felt warm in her heart: "Okay, thank you all for your hard work!"
Ouyang Yunyao arranged everything before and after the New Year in Huicui Mansion, and explained everything in detail to the housekeeper Sun before leaving Huicui Mansion for the hot pot restaurant.
By the time she had arranged everything in the hot pot restaurant, it was already late at night.
