Single mom with 8-year-old son "Cloud" building a snowman, "He wants a family portrait"

Sanxiang Metropolis Daily, December 26 (Text/Video Reporter Peng Zhiguo Yang Jiegui) "My son is studying in Hechi, Guangxi, and it is rare to see snow, so I can only build a snowman for him through video." On December 26, a snowstorm in Changsha evoked the deep thoughts of Ms. Zhou, a single mother from Guangxi, and her 8-year-old son, Jia Tuo.

On the 26th, it was a weekend, the streets of Changsha were wrapped in silver, and Ms. Zhou, who lived in the Fenglin Meijing Community in Yuelu District, couldn't help but video contact her son Jia Yao, who was far away in Hechi, Guangxi, "Our hometown rarely snows, and a few days ago we agreed that if it snows in Changsha on the weekend, let him watch the snow scene on video and build a snowman together." ”

Ms. Zhou said that her son Jia Tuo had just turned 8 years old and was in the second grade of primary school. She divorced her child's father in 2016, and Jia Tuo has been cared for by her grandparents and opened a beauty and skin care shop with friends in Yuanjialing, Changsha. "Early this morning I prepared black beads, red beans and asahi peppers to make the snowman as beautiful as possible." Ms. Zhou choked up several times and said that she usually had less companionship and owed her children.

Before it was too late to eat lunch, Ms. Zhou came to the open space downstairs to communicate with her son while video, and the mother and son were busy together. "Branches can be hands, leaves can be hats." In the video, Jia Tuo's thinking is very active, laughing and shouting happily, while constantly making suggestions, "Chaotian pepper makes nose, black beads make eyes, and red beans make buttons." In the snow and wind, Ms. Zhou's hands were frozen red, but her face was full of happy smiles. After two hours of hard work, the mother and son finally completed a satisfactory work. However, Jia Tuo asked her mother to be two more snowmen, a mother and a father, and Ms. Zhou's eyes were moist. She said, "Kids want a family portrait!" ”

"If there is no impact of the epidemic in the New Year, I want to go back to Guangxi to see my parents, take my child over, and strive to let him study in Changsha next year..." Ms. Zhou said, because the store needs to be operated and managed, it is usually difficult to go back, the most recent time is the 8th birthday of her son Jia Tuo. Speaking of this, Ms. Zhou's longing once again turned into tears.
