Twenty eggs hatched into eleven chicks, including both roosters and hens. The family will have no shortage of eggs next year, and these eleven chicks will soon multiply into a large flock.
Rabbits, however, are not so easy to catch.
The weather is very cold now. Last night, the first snow fell since Yue Jiuyue came to this world. It was beautiful and turned the whole world into pure white.
No matter how beautiful the world was, covered in snow, it couldn't hide Yue Jiuyue's sadness.
The white radishes and cabbages she planted!
Originally, Yue Jiuyue was worried that the snow would freeze the vegetables, so she asked her eldest son to take two sweet potatoes to the village to ask the elders for help in checking the weather and deciding whether to harvest them quickly or let them grow for a couple more days.
The news Lin Chaodong brought back was that the past seven or eight days had been sunny with wind but no snow.
It's only the third day! It snowed last night, and all her vegetables were buried and frozen!
"I'll go find him when it's light!"
While picking up the radishes, Lin Chaodong angrily said that he was going to find someone to settle accounts with.
"Oh dear! The cabbages and radishes are perfectly fine, and they've all been frozen! That old man is heartless!"
Liu was also furious. She stopped calling him "Grandpa" altogether. She stood aside and watched the whole family busy themselves, adding fuel to the fire and making Lin Chaodong even angrier.
"Hmph! I hope he didn't do it on purpose, otherwise, I'll smash his pots and pans!"
"Big brother, count me in! Third brother, are you coming or not?"
The fourth brother also joined in the fun.
"go."
The third brother spoke simply, but he was just as angry.
Anyone who realizes they might have been tricked will feel uneasy and will always want to find a way to get revenge.
Yue Jiuyue didn't know whether the old man was doing it on purpose or had misread it, but the three brothers wouldn't just smash someone else's pot without asking clearly.
The snow has already fallen, and there's a thick layer of it. Thinking about it won't help. We might as well hurry up and pull up the radishes and cabbages. Even though they're frozen, they're still edible.
After harvesting all the radishes and cabbages, they were all stored in the cellar. It was almost time to get up in the morning, so Lin Chaonan started cooking. He used the stalks of the freshly harvested white radishes to make a soup, and also made dough to stick potstickers around the pot.
After breakfast, the three brothers went off to "take revenge".
Liu led Xiaoman back to their own room in the back. Liu sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) wrapped in a quilt, the door was half open, and Xiaoman was playing in the snow outside.
Since the day the roof beam was raised, Yue Jiuyue and Liu Shi's relationship has become much more amicable. Liu Shi can no longer be close to Yue Jiuyue and will no longer ask Yue Jiuyue to help take care of Xiao Man'er. In addition, with the weather freezing cold today, Lin Chaodong no longer needs to go up the mountain to cultivate the land and plant crops. There are others to cook and take care of the children, so she has even less need for Yue Jiuyue.
Yue Jiuyue didn't care what ulterior motives she might have. She stayed home, eating and drinking as she pleased, and occasionally made some needlework to sell for a good price in the online store. She lived a very comfortable life.
"Mother, Second Grandfather must have made a mistake. The vegetables in his yard were just harvested and they're all frozen."
Not long after, the three brothers returned with news that was both good and bad. It was bad because the other family's vegetables had also frozen, but good because it proved that their family hadn't been scammed.
