Chapter 137 Cooling Down

Perhaps it is a common problem among cats, the behavior of the two leopards is very similar to the cat raised by my best friend.

After sending the little rabbit back to the rabbit pen, the two leopards looked at her with ambiguous eyes.

A small room was opened next to the brick house for the dog and the leopard to live in. Now that the weather is not too cold, they are all willing to live in the hay house.

But tonight, the two leopards moved into the small room and would not allow the door to be closed. If it was closed, they would scratch the door, just like when they first learned to walk and stuck to her.

She was already a little nervous as they were lying on the bed, and when she glanced across the small room, she saw two pairs of eyes glowing with dim light looking at her.

She could only ask Mu Xi for help pitifully.

Mu Xi joked, "Who told you to get tired of the old and love the new?"

Having said that, seeing her look like that, she still got up from the bed and walked to the door of the small room.

He picked up the cushions prepared for the two leopards and placed them beside the bed.

The two leopards slept next to their bed and finally stopped staring at her.

Zhao Yeqing woke up in Mu Xi's arms. She was used to holding something when she slept, sleeping on her side with a pillow or quilt between her legs.

Now that they sleep in the same bed, she can't hold the quilt in her arms. When she wakes up, her legs are on Mu Xi's waist.

He blinked his eyes and slowly moved his legs down with some embarrassment.

"Good morning..."

Mu Xi had probably been awake for a while, reading the book he had placed on the bedside table before going to bed last night.

Normally, he should have gotten up and prepared dinner by this time.

Seeing Zhao Yeqing wake up, he put down the book, his eyes softened, "What do you want to eat? I'll go make breakfast."

Recently she has been eating either bread or noodles, and she wants to eat something fresh.

"Hot and sour noodles."

I haven’t eaten the sweet potato vermicelli that I brought from home for a long time. The last time I ate it was when I put it in sauerkraut fish.

Mu Xi got up and went to the kitchen. Zhao Yeqing liked to add some side dishes to his noodles and rice noodles. He planned to go to the chicken coop to get the eggs and then pick two vegetables from the vegetable garden.

He was stunned the moment he pushed open the door. The cold air outside rushed in all at once, and Zhao Yeqing, who was covered with a quilt, shivered.

She poked her head out from under the covers. "Is it frosted?"

Mu Xi closed the door slightly, turned around and said, "It's snowing."

"ah!"

Zhao Yeqing didn't stay in bed anymore. He jumped out of bed and ran to the door without even putting on his shoes.

The snow fell quietly last night, not heavily. There was only a thin layer of snow on the ground, and some areas with tall grass were not covered yet.

But it did not hinder Zhao Yeqing's excitement.

If you don't live in the mountains, you won't see any snow in southern cities in winter.

I pinched a handful of snow in my hand. It was hard and crunchy, not the soft goose-feather snow.

After Zhao Yeqing got excited, he began to wonder, "The temperature was still 7 or 8 degrees at noon yesterday, and it was also 2 or 3 degrees before going to bed at night. Why did it suddenly snow?"

Mu Xi raised his wrist and the value on it had changed, with the temperature showing -1.

"It dropped nearly ten degrees Celsius in one day?"

She began to worry about her crops, wondering what was happening to them.

Mu Xi bent down and picked her up sideways, "If you don't put on your shoes now, you'll get sick."

Their indoor shoes were straw sandals. She thought she would crochet two pairs of slippers when the weather got colder, but she hadn't thought about doing it until now.

She was not very skilled in using the crochet hook, so she had to remove the uneven parts or missed stitches. It would probably take her a week to crochet a pair of slippers.

Mu Xi put her in the rocking chair, lit a fire in the fireplace, and placed the shoe soles and rabbit fur next to her.

"It's hard to make your eyes look good if you use woolen threads, so just use rabbit skins to sew them together."

We have plenty of rabbit fur at home now, and we can quickly make a pair of shoes by sewing them on the soles.

While Mu Xi was making breakfast, Zhao Yeqing was picking out the rabbit hair from the bag.

White is the most common color in rabbit fur, followed by gray, then yellow and mottled colors.

I use white, and Mu Xi's pair is gray.

I found the sole while looking for wool. It is a lightweight foam sole with the inner layer of rabbit fur sewn together, so that both sides are covered with soft rabbit fur.

She doesn't like to wear closed-toe slippers, even in winter, so she only wears open-toed slippers.

Zhao Yeqing thought that it shouldn't matter if the fireplace was burning, since he would be warm by the fire indoors anyway and wouldn't feel cold.

Mu Xi finished making breakfast and came in to see that it was another style that exposed her toes, feeling a little helpless.

Zhao Yeqing knew what he was going to say, "If it's cold, I will definitely put on my socks."

Then, she placed the sewn slippers at his feet and said, "Try it on."

Maybe it was because the elderly people in the village were not very tall, and the largest shoe sole was only size 42, so a small part of Mu Xi's feet was still exposed.

"It's okay, this is fine."

Zhao Yeqing's size is a common size and fits him perfectly.

"Let's go eat first, it will get cold soon."

Compared to yesterday's white porridge, the hot and sour noodles are more appetizing.

The weather is getting colder, and once you eat the sour, spicy and hot vermicelli, you will feel warm all over.

Mu Xi put a fried egg with crispy egg whites but a soft core inside. He poked open the runny core to let the egg liquid mix with the vermicelli, and the taste became very rich.

"Hiccup~"

I was full and drank half a bowl of soup.

In the past, in order to squeeze into a well-fitting professional suit at work, I didn’t dare to eat anything as heavy as soup, let alone anything like that.

Now that I’m exercising more, I don’t seem to gain weight no matter how much I eat.

After breakfast, the sheep and cattle had been replenished with feed, but the temperature was dropping rapidly and she was always worried that there would not be enough pasture.

"Why not let it out and give it a try?"

There are still many places that are not covered by the thin snow, so the sheep can choose where to eat, so there shouldn't be any problem.

If the temperature continues to drop, it will be hard to say. We will not be able to get out and will be trapped in the sheepfold.

Dahuang and the three puppies were not afraid of the cold at all and were even a little excited about the snowy days. When she opened the sheep pen, several of them immediately rushed to the side of the flock and stood guard.

She and Mu Xi followed the main group with the cattle and went to check the situation of the grain field first.

Zhao Yeqing held a handful of snow in his hand. This kind of snow is called sand snow here. It is like icy granules like white sugar. The temperature will be relatively cold when this kind of snow falls.

It's still that damp and cold feeling.

The meadow was covered with a layer of snow, and the exposed grass was already green and yellow.

Both of them were wearing rain boots, which made them slippery when they stepped on the snow. Although they were rain boots, the soles were not as non-slip as ordinary sports shoes.

Zhao Yeqing couldn't help but complain that this design was really inhumane.

The snow was icy and cold, and even through the rubber rain boots I stepped on the ground, my feet could still feel the biting temperature.

A cool breeze blew from time to time, and when the wind passed, the tips of their noses were blown red.
