“Hmm,” Haitang nodded. “No problem, it’s fine to leave the child for a few days.” She didn’t have much of a problem with leaving the child, as long as the child wasn’t a troublemaker.

The children ate their food obediently, and the little female helped wash the dishes. The little beastman watched the Eastern Dragon polishing stones outside, and then took a huge pebble and began to rub it on the stone to make it smooth.

Looking at the children, Haitang couldn't help but smile, then gestured for a few of the young females to sit beside her. "Since we have nothing else to do, let's learn how to knit," she said.

"Hmm," the little female nodded and sat down next to Haitang, covered with a small blanket, with hot tea on the fire.

The fire was fueled by charcoal, kept warm by a small, stone-carved stove with water on top.

Under these circumstances, Haitang taught several children to knit sweaters. The children learned very quickly, and although there were parts they didn't understand, they all obediently learned.

The wind outside was a bit strong, but fortunately, the fence around Haitang's yard was about five meters high, which just blocked the wind. Although a little wind occasionally came in, it wasn't too cold.

"Sister Tangtang, do you think this is right?" A little female asked Haitang while knitting a sweater, and Haitang immediately nodded.

"Yes, that's good, just like that... Take your time, no rush..." The little female nodded. Around noon, their father arrived. It was too much of a hardship for the female to go out in the wind, so all the people who came were beastmen.

"These are clothes," clothes for about seven children were brought over, along with some food and supplies, so that the children wouldn't have to pack themselves if Haitang was too busy.

The children were quite well-behaved. When it was time for a bath, Haitang would boil water for the children, and they would bathe themselves, change their clothes, and come out. Since they slept on the bed on the first day, the little beastmen were all lying on the floor today, as was Dongfanglong.

Dongfang Long looked at the little ones with displeasure, but then sighed. "Tangtang really loves children," he thought, "since Tangtang loves children so much, I'll have to work hard to be like her in the future."

It must be said that Dongfang Long misunderstood. Haitang didn't particularly like children, but she couldn't refuse them once they were sent. Besides, since the child was very well-behaved and didn't cry, Haitang naturally liked him very much.

Moreover, the tribe also provided them with food and supplies, and they were helping with the cleanup process. Under such circumstances, their attitude towards the children was naturally good.

During the day, Dongfang Long would take the children to polish stones, and the little beastmen were learning very well. "Uncle, did you polish all the floor tiles in your house? They're so beautiful..."

"Call me brother," Dongfang Long said unhappily. Calling Tangtang "sister" and himself "uncle" sounded strange. He was Tangtang's beastman, so he had to be her brother.

"Oh, brother, did you polish all of those? They're so beautiful. I wish my home was like that," the little beastman said.

“That’s impossible. Building a house in such a rush now, it’s impossible to polish it perfectly. But… don’t be discouraged. You can polish it yourself when you marry a female,” Dongfang Long said. “When you marry a female in the future, if you see one you like, you must stay with her.”

"..." Haitang couldn't help but laugh when she watched Dongfang Long teaching the children. Dongfang Long was teaching the children in a very serious manner that if they saw a female they liked, they should learn to keep an eye on her from a young age, so that she would be theirs when she grew up.

The little ones immediately nodded. The children who came were all around six years old. The older children were not seriously injured and were less afraid of the cold, so they stayed with their parents. Only the younger ones stayed behind. Of course, there were also eight or nine-year-old females.

Shi Hu also came to see the children. "Are you being good?" he asked Haitang, looking at the children grinding stones.

"They're all very obedient and well-behaved," several little females were knitting sweaters, while several little beastmen followed the Eastern Dragon outside, grinding stones. Their father came, but didn't say anything. Instead, he encouraged the little beastmen to work hard.

Under these circumstances, she felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, once the little hats were frayed, she gave them all to the young females as gifts. Shi Hu nodded upon hearing this. "This weather... we haven't seen such strong winds in years, and the problem is, it's not raining. Many houses have been torn down. These days, both orcs and humans are busy rebuilding."

"It's good that the person wasn't seriously injured," Haitang said, and Shi Hu nodded when he heard this.

"Only the little female was more seriously injured. The other young beastmen couldn't be killed by the blows. These few that were sent here are younger, so they suffered a bit. You saw it yourself, they were all lively and energetic the next day," the beastman said, indicating his good recovery.

Upon hearing this, Haitang glanced at the little beastman outside and couldn't help but admire his strong resistance and excellent physical condition. However, the little female seemed to be having some discomfort.

Because the little females were injured and sometimes tired, Haitang would let them lie down and sleep until the food was ready. Now there were no vegetables, so she could only give the children some bean sprouts to eat.

The children all love bean sprouts. The little female ate quite a lot, and although the little beastman was a picky eater, he ate obediently as his father instructed him not to misbehave. In addition, Haitang was a good cook.

Everyone was happy with the food. After eating, they went to polish the stone with Dongfang Long. Dongfang Long didn't stand on ceremony and started directing everyone to work. Three days passed under such circumstances before the strong winds finally stopped.

The house construction has just begun to get on track. The first thing to do was to cut down trees. There was no other way... The wind was too strong to build the house at all. Now that the wind has stopped, everyone has started working.

Huo Qiu led the tribe to start building houses. Of course, this couldn't be done for free; they all had to pay tribute to the tribe. Otherwise, everyone would have to come, which would be difficult for him to do, and he didn't have the ability to do it.
