(Girls' Literature)

When Su Zhi opened her eyes in the early morning, she felt that the quilt was warm. Even though Shen Zian was not around, the kang was obviously warm. She could tell that he was lighting a fire and making breakfast. A smile appeared on her face, and she lay in the warm quilt. Although her body felt a little sore, she felt sweet in her heart. She thought this was the feeling of happiness.

Every time Shen Zian got up earlier than Su Zhi, he would prepare breakfast for Su Zhi. Even though he knew that Su Zhi's cooking would taste better, he would still do it if he could. Su Zhi liked his natural consideration very much. She knew that in ancient times, men, even those from poor families with women, would not go into the kitchen if possible. However, Shen Zian always made breakfast for her so consciously. Even if it was just the simplest porridge and pickles, she would eat it with relish.

It's so nice to have a loving husband, Su Zhi thought with her eyes squinted as she lay in the warm quilt. She was reluctant to get up, but she knew it was already dawn.

"Wife, are you awake? I have already prepared the meal. We can start eating when you get up."

Shen Zian walked in and put the burning charcoal away. Hearing some movement inside the kang, he opened the kang curtain and saw his wife wearing a cotton coat. Su Zhi was wearing an inner coat made of white muslin. The collar was a little loose, so when she stretched her arms to put on the outer coat, a snow-white collarbone was exposed, which looked so beautiful against the light blue muslin coat.

Su Zhi put on her cotton-padded jacket, and while buttoning it, she looked up and saw Shen Zian staring at her neck with a sparkling look in his eyes. She immediately understood what that look meant, pursed her lips, knelt up from the kang, went over to hug his neck and kissed his lips, then pulled back and continued to put on her clothes with a smile, her face feeling slightly hot.

Although she has lived two lives, Su Zhi still feels a little shy when facing Shen Zian and they get intimate. But she can't help but love this kind of man. That's why she teases him from time to time. She has never enjoyed this kind of sweetness in her previous life.

Shen Zian was kissed, and hearing his wife's laughter, he also laughed.

"Wife, wear the white dress with red flowers today. It looks best on you. It's snowing outside today. If you wear it and walk on the snow, you will look like a plum blossom."

Shen Zian said as he opened the kang curtain.

“It’s snowing?!”

Su Zhi was immediately excited when she heard that it was snowing. She loved snowy days the most and thought that the whiteness of the sky and earth was particularly beautiful. She was not afraid of the cold.

Shen Zian nodded and said, "I think it started snowing in the middle of the night. It's snowing pretty heavily now and it's still snowing. I think there will be a good harvest next year. However, this year I estimate that many people will be frozen again."

Su Zhi thought about it and realized that it was true. It was said that auspicious snow meant a good harvest. A heavy snowfall could kill pests in the field and help wheat seedlings grow better. But it would also make people feel colder. Those who lived in good houses and had food and drink were naturally not afraid and could enjoy the snow scenery. However, those who lived in shabby houses would have to live a miserable life.

Shen Zian saw that Su Zhi's smile was not as bright as before, so he knew that his words had spoiled her mood, and he quickly said, "But this year, most people in our village have built kangs. Even if you sleep on the kang, you won't get frozen. This is all thanks to my wife. We don't have to worry about snow anymore."

Su Zhi thought so too. Besides, even if someone was really frozen, it was not something she could do. She was just a little peasant woman now and she just had to live her own life.

Su Zhi put on her clothes, folded the quilt, put the table in place, and asked Shen Zian to put the food on the table. In this way, she and Shen Zian could each have a small cushion. They sat on the warm kang with a charcoal basin next to them. They chatted and ate together.

Little White and Little Black had finished their meal and ran in. Big Black and White Wolf followed them in. Although they were not afraid of the cold, they still liked warm places.

Now Su Zhi and her husband have completely become a family of four. Even Shen Zian can touch White Wolf. It can be seen that White Wolf also looks at Shen Zian differently. Su Zhi feels that this is a kind of strong man liking a strong man, because Shen Zian has a good heart, high skills, and is a great hunter. Therefore, White Wolf, as the king of wolves, also likes Shen Zian.

Shen Zian naturally picked up Xiaobai and Xiaohei and placed them on the kang, and then he sat opposite Su Zhi.

Su Zhi was very thoughtful. There was a long wooden footstool on the ground under the kang so that people's feet would not be hanging in the air when sitting on it. There was also a mat made of reeds underneath the cabinet so that people could get things from the cabinet and the table beside them while wearing kang socks. Su Zhi now placed two rabbit skin mats on the mat so that Dahei and Bailang could stay on them.

Xiao Hei squatted beside Su Zhi, looking at the bowl in Su Zhi's hand with his small almond eyes. It looked empty at first glance, and you couldn't tell at all that she had just eaten.

The little white wolf lay beside the little black dog, his eyes slightly squinting. Despite his small stature, he already had the demeanor of a big white wolf.

Shen Zian saw Su Zhi paying attention to Xiao Hei and said to her, "It has already been fed. Look, its belly is still round. It has become a ball. Don't feed it."

Who knew that Xiao Hei seemed to understand, and he growled twice at Shen Zian, showing his little white teeth, trying to make himself look fierce, but he was still quite cute.

Shen Zian said: "These little creatures are really smart. I've noticed it a long time ago. They seem to understand what we say. They are really smart."

Su Zhi had discovered this a long time ago, and she also found it very magical. She had previously thought it was psychic, and that it would be good enough if it could understand the general meaning like the dog at home, but she didn't expect that it could even understand simple human language. She liked dogs and was used to talking to them, and now that she met the White Wolf family, she talked to them even more often.

Su Zhi thought about the changes in the cow at home, and thought that maybe it was the effect of the spiritual spring, which not only made the animals grow healthier, but also made them smarter. However, the White Wolf family was obviously smarter because they drank pure spiritual spring.

"That's not good, it shows that the Holy Beast family is extraordinary!"

Su Zhi smiled and tapped Xiao Hei's head, but still gave him a small piece of biscuit. Xiao Hei ate it happily, then ran around on the kang, and finally nestled on the kang head and didn't move.

After finishing the meal, Su Zhi and Shen Zian cleared the table together and walked out of the door. They saw a vast expanse of white snow outside. It was still snowing, the kind of heavy snow as heavy as goose feathers.

Su Zhi just looked at her and didn't go any further. She was very happy just looking at her like this.

Shen Zian stood behind her and held her in his arms. The two of them looked at the snow and enjoyed the tranquility.

In the morning, Su Zhi and Shen Zian finished making the unfinished cloth flowers, and placed bamboo baskets filled with flowers on the two tea tables in the main room. They also placed some on the kang cabinet, which immediately added a touch of color to the room.

"Zi'an, do you think this flower I made is pretty?"

Su Zhi leaned in Shen Zian's arms, looked at the colorful flowers and asked him. She was thinking about how many of the heroines who traveled back to ancient times sold hair flowers made of scraps of cloth. Although she thought about it, she had not planned to sell it before, because these scraps of cloth were not worthless as described in the novels. People at that time knew how to live. Larger scraps of cloth could be made into purses, and smaller scraps of cloth that were not worth the effort of sewing could be used for burning. A large bag of them could also be sold for money. It would never happen that you would buy a piece of cloth and get it for free.

Su Zhi bought these packages of cloth because most of them were silk in bright colors, and some were quite large. Each package cost ten cents!

If you make a head flower, you can make money, but Su Zhi never thought about it. She only thought about using it as a decorative flower at home. But now seeing how beautiful these flowers are, and thinking about how the sisters-in-law helped me yesterday, I think they were very good to me, and I should give them something in return. Teaching them to knit can make money, but wouldn't it be better to have another business? This head flower can also be made on the kang at home.

Shen Zian said: "It looks good, and is made just like the real thing."

Su Zhi said, "If I make this into a headpiece and sell it at the market, will anyone buy it?"

Shen Zian thought about it. He was thinking about what it would look like if the flower was stuck on his wife's head. He thought it would look very nice. He said, "Someone will buy it, wife. Do you want to do it?"

Su Zhi said: "I want to do this with Shu Gen and the others. They are really good to me. I want them to make some money too."

Shen Zian nodded and said, "Okay, do whatever you want. Call me if you need anything."

Su Zhi kissed Shen Zian again, and the two of them cuddled on the kang for a while, but were finally separated by Xiao Hei's cry. Looking at Xiao Hei's round eyes, Su Zhi felt a little embarrassed, and knocked on its head, which made Xiao Hei whine. Xiao Bai ignored him, and Da Hei and Bai Lang lay on the mattress peacefully.

Su Zhi felt that this kind of life was so wonderful. Her previous wish was nothing more than a house, a lover, a child, and a dog. Now she had a house, a lover, and a child, and she would have a dog, and three wolves. Everything was so perfect.

After lunch, Shen Zian saw that the snow had stopped and thought about going to the old house. Although they were separated now, the etiquette could not be abandoned. With such heavy snow, he had to go back to take a look. It was like this every year. When it snowed, the old people and children would get sick. Shen's parents were still alive, and even if Shen Zian was angry with them, he would go to see them.

Su Zhi suddenly thought of the widow Wang from yesterday. If she hadn't told her son the truth, she might not be able to explain herself, so she thought about going to thank her. (
