As winter drew closer, Dongfang Long became increasingly excited and began hiring people to build him a house. Haitang also went to see it. The house was currently having its foundation laid, and Shi Hu did not stop him.
Instead, he would go hunting with the deer during the day and come back at night to help Dongfanglong build a house. The only downside was that Shi Hu felt a little uncomfortable. How could he help someone else drive their daughter away from home?
Thinking that once the house was built, Dongfang Long would marry Haitang, and then their daughter would be marrying someone else, Dongfang Long felt a chill in his heart and was very unhappy.
Especially when she saw Haitang bringing food to Dongfanglong, she became even angrier. Xiaolu, seeing Shi Hu fuming over his own anger, also lowered her head and ate her food.
Although Shi Hu was angry with Dongfang Long, whenever someone spoke ill of Dongfang Long, Shi Hu was always the first to step forward and stop them. This showed that he genuinely liked Dongfang Long as his son-in-law.
Huo Qiu got married faster than Hai Tang, but the other party didn't prepare anything for the wedding. There was no banquet, and they simply took Guo'er to their home. This is considered a wedding in this context.
Haitang went to see the day of the wedding. Guo'er was dressed very beautifully. She didn't bring much dowry, mostly her own clothes, but the smile on her face told everyone that she would be very happy.
In this era, women value more than whether a man is rich or not; they value whether he is brave enough. Only a brave man can support a woman, and this is something everyone understands in their hearts.
Today is Guo'er's wedding day. People who are close to Guo'er all came to see her and talked to her about many things. Guo'er nodded shyly and became Huo Qiu's wife.
Haitang watched as Huoqiu transformed into a giant white tiger, had Guo'er ride on it, and then started running around the village. "What's going on?" Haitang asked the stone tiger.
"This is a declaration that Guo'er is now married to a woman from her own tribe. Of course, this is a privilege reserved for women from her own tribe. She would not have this privilege if she married into another tribe." Hearing this, Haitang nodded.
In previous years, many females in the tribe preferred to marry into other tribes, such as the snake tribe. The snake tribe was more powerful, had more people, and was larger. Under such circumstances, females naturally wanted to become wives of other tribes and live a better life.
However, in recent years, the females of the tribe have been choosing to marry into their own tribe. Of course... especially now that the snake tribe and the tiger tribe are enemies, it is impossible for the females of the tribe to be married off.
Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded. Looking at Guo'er sitting on the tiger, she couldn't help but feel a little envious. When Dongfang Long saw Haitang, he immediately reached out and grabbed her.
"I'll carry you around on my back then too," Dongfang Long said. Haitang looked at Dongfang Long's eyes and knew that he was worried about her because he couldn't transform into a beast for the time being, which was why he brought this up.
Actually, it should be fine. We're not using ginseng right now because we plan to wait until winter. But she smiled and said, "Okay."
Shi Hu watched the two approach, then pulled his daughter to his side. He glared at Dongfang Long several times, looking as if he wanted to kick him right away because he was an eyesore.
Dongfang Long felt a little wronged. He realized that his uncle seemed to dislike him more and more for no reason. Oh well... anyway, once the house is finished, the wife will be his.
She was incredibly excited, and she wore a smile all the way back. After returning home, Haitang immediately started preparing dinner.
While dinner was being prepared, Haitang and the others sat down to eat. After finishing their meal, Haitang went to find her hat and scarf.
“Dad, these are for you and Xiaolong. You should take them with you when you go out. This is for Xiaolu.” Haitang handed the hat and scarf to the group. “And gloves too. We didn’t make many gloves, but they should be enough for all of you men.”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long held up the gloves and examined them, saying, "They're warm, but not too cold yet."
"It's not too cold, you can take it and put it in your room." Their hands get frostbite every year, they're used to it and don't even feel it anymore.
The problem seemed quite serious to Haitang, who looked distressed. Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long nodded, and Shi Hu promptly put everything away.
Under these circumstances, Haitang began to turn the wool into yarn, while Xiaohe started knitting a sweater not far away.
The sweater was warm, so I made a large white sweater and a smaller one. I gave them to Shi Hu and said, "Father, this is what my sister said you should take to the trade fair."
"Okay." Sweaters are good things, even for their own tiger tribe, so other hairless races must be even more so. Of course, Stone Tiger can't go far, so he won't go to large trade fairs, but will choose small trade fairs nearby.
Dongfang Long also went along this time. Dongfang Long's house is still under construction. However, Dongfang Long has many requirements, all kinds of exquisite ones, and he does it all himself. Haitang has been to see it several times and can't help but sigh that the house he builds is much better than hers.
Especially the ground, which is paved with mud bricks. After the mud bricks are finished, stone bricks will be laid on top, and then it will be a marble slab floor.
The next day, Haitang watched Shi Hu and the others go to the trade fair. This time, Dongfang Long planned to bring back some nice fabrics as a betrothal gift for Haitang.
Although the things he took all belonged to Shi Hu's family, he worked very hard and never had a small number of animals during his hunts, so in theory, he should have some too.
