Having just finished feeding and burping the baby, and before she could even put the child down, Sheng Xiping heard a noise outside.

"Honey, you watch the baby. I'm going out to check. I keep hearing something strange outside, like there's some noise."

Sheng Xiping put on his cotton-padded coat, put on his shoes, got out of bed, took down the gun hanging on the wall, and carefully came out of the west room, unlatching the bolt on the outer door.

Just as Sheng Xiping was about to push the door open a crack to see what was happening outside, he heard something scratching at the door.

Upon hearing the noise, Sheng Xiping felt a sense of relief. He recognized the voice; Hua Hua was back.

Sure enough, when the door opened, it was indeed Huahua, followed by Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang, the two little tigers. "What's up? Came home for the New Year?"

Sheng Xiping reached out and rubbed Huahua's forehead, and Huahua rubbed her head against Sheng Xiping.

Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang, following Huahua's example, came over and snuggled up to Sheng Xiping.

Since Hua Hua was never empty-handed when she came back, Sheng Xiping didn't wait for Hua Hua to tug at his clothes this time. He came out of the house directly and opened the door.

Sure enough, there were two roe deer outside the door. Needless to say, Hua Hua and her two children must have encountered a herd of roe deer and almost had their entire nest wiped out.

The two roe deer, one male and one female, were quite large. Their bellies had been ripped open, and their internal organs were nowhere to be seen.

Sheng Xiping dragged the two roe deer into the house, not bothering to skin them right away, but just throwing them on the ground and deciding to wait until tomorrow morning.

"Where are you three sleeping? Or are you going back to the west room?" Sheng Xiping glanced at the three tigers lying on the floor of the outer room and asked them.

Hua Hua glanced at Sheng Xiping, but didn't move, meaning they were sleeping in the outer room.

Sheng Xiping took one look and didn't say anything else. Tigers can rest in the wild, even in the freezing cold. What can't the Sheng family do on this land?

"I'm going to bed now, see you tomorrow morning."

This time, Sheng Xiping didn't lock the door. If Hua Hua and the others wanted to leave, they could easily pounce on it and open the door.

Sheng Xiping went back to the west room and got on the kang (heated brick bed). Zhou Qinglan heard the commotion outside, but didn't ask anything.

Raising children is not easy, especially when the children are young. Mothers rarely get a full night's sleep. After changing into diapers and feeding, they fall asleep almost as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

He slept until almost six in the morning when he was awakened by a series of exclamations from the outer room.

"What's wrong?" Still half asleep, Sheng Xiping had forgotten about Hua Hua and her son returning last night, and asked as he rubbed his eyes.

Sheng Xi'an stood at the door of the east room, patting his chest with his right hand, pointing at the three enormous creatures on the ground with a look of utter shock.

"These, these are Hua Hua and Jiao Jiao Zhuang Zhuang? My God, these two tiger cubs have grown so big?"

I wanted to go out to relieve myself, and when I opened the door, I saw the three of them lying on the floor. It scared me to death.

Sheng Xi'an gets up at this time every day at school, and she's gotten used to it, so she can't change it when she goes home.

I ate something too salty last night and drank a lot of water before bed, so the first thing I did this morning was to take a dump.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw three striped tigers in the outer room.

Sheng Xi'an hadn't seen Hua Hua and her son for a long time, and before he could react, he was startled, which alerted Sheng Xiping.

Of course, it wasn't just Sheng Xiping who was alarmed; everyone in the east room of the Sheng family, except for the two younger ones, Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu, also heard Sheng Xi'an's exclamation.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly got up and dressed, while the others were too lazy to move and remained in bed.

Upon hearing that Hua Hua had brought Jiao Jiao and Zhuang Zhuang back, the siblings in the east room quickly got up, dressed, and rushed out to see Hua Hua and the others.

"My God, which ones are these? I can't tell them apart. They all look about the same size." Sheng Xikang and the others stared at the three tigers on the ground, completely bewildered.

“This is Huahua, this is Jiaojiao, and that is Zhuangzhuang. If you look closely, you can see that the ‘king’ characters on their foreheads are different.”

It is said that every tiger has its own unique stripes, but most people cannot tell them apart.

"Hua Hua, oh my, I've missed you so much."

Sheng Xitai, who had been reluctant to get out of bed, was the last to get dressed and rush out, just in time to see Sheng Xiping pointing at the three tigers.

So Sheng Xitai rushed over and hugged Hua Hua's neck.

Hua Hua showed no impatience at being disturbed while sleeping; instead, she rubbed her head against Sheng Xitai and made snoring noises.

The other two also followed Hua Hua's example and tried to get close to Sheng Xitai.

Surrounded by three tigers, Sheng Xitai wasn't afraid at all. He hugged one and embraced the other, feeling incredibly happy.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shuzhen quickly woke up Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu.

Who knows when those three tigers will leave again? Last time they came back, Sheng Xinhua didn't see them and cried his eyes out.

We have to seize this opportunity, in case the three tigers leave again later.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were still lying in bed, too lazy to get up, but as soon as they heard that Huahua was back, the two kids jumped up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and ran to the outer room without even putting on their clothes.

Zhang Shuzhen grabbed him and said, "No, put on some clothes before you go. It's so cold outside, you'll freeze if you don't wear any."

The two children had no choice but to listen to their grandmother, quickly put on their clothes, and then ran towards the outer room.

"Hua Hua, it really is Hua Hua, and Jiao Jiao and Zhuang Zhuang too."

Upon seeing the three tigers in the outer room, Sheng Xinhua jumped for joy and went over to hug Hua Hua tightly. Not to be outdone, Sheng Xinyu ran over to find Hua Hua as well.

Upon seeing this scene, Sheng Xiping suddenly had an idea. He quickly went to the west room, took out his newly bought camera, and loaded it with film.
