Today's sky is gray and overcast, it looks like it's going to snow. Without the sun, even though it's mid-morning, it's still frigid outside.
The temperature inside the Xiao Family's house is a bit higher than outside, but it's still cold enough to freeze people.
Xiao Daguang is cold even with a quilt over him, so he says to Zhong Liumei, "Why don't you go add some firewood to heat the bed, it's gone cold."
Zhong Liumei doesn't want to move, it's too cold outside: "I'm not going. If you want to, you go."
Xiao Yuan wants to get angry but can't: "Alright, you both stay put, I'll go add some firewood."
Just after he finishes saying this, Xiao Lei in the other room shouts, "Help us add some firewood too, it's too cold in here, I'm frozen stiff."
Xiao Yuan goes out to start the fire, and after a short while, the room becomes a bit warmer.
