After eating, it's time to sleep. As Haitang watched Dongfang Long patting the bed, she laughed and said, "It's only this early and you're already lying down. Are you worried about being treated like a pig?"
"You won't let me hold you if I'm not lying down," Dongfang Long said, looking aggrieved. He felt extremely wronged when he saw Haitang knitting a sweater again, so he simply sat down and picked her up.
Haitang didn't let the other person make a fuss. He held her without touching her, so she just let him hold her. Dongfang Long liked the scent on Haitang's body. It was a sweet and fragrant scent that he had never smelled before.
"Tangtang..." Haitang listened to the soft voice in her ear and ignored it, starting to knit. She was doing something whenever she had free time, so as not to be caught off guard later.
The quilts at home were sewn by Xiaohe. To be honest, now that she's married, she has to do these things herself. So she looked at Dongfang Long with annoyance and said, "Don't you have anything better to do?"
Dongfang Long nodded, feeling a bit bored. Haitang pointed to a spot not far away and said, "Then get some bone needles to sew up my quilt. I don't want to have to use the same quilt all year round." Even though winter only lasts three months, it's still uncomfortable to have only one quilt.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long nodded and began stitching things up with bone needles a short distance away. He even stuffed feathers inside, seriously courting death. He then started pricking his head with needles, just like Haitang had done.
Bone needles don't prick your hand often, but it's not easy either. Ping An had already fallen asleep on the side. Dongfang Long looked at the drooling little guy and then at Haitang obediently getting to work.
As night grew darker, Haitang began to tidy up and wash. When Dongfang Long saw her, he immediately followed her, being incredibly obedient. Haitang looked at Dongfang Long and took a towel to wipe his face.
Dongfang Long reached out and wiped it for him too. After he finished, Haitang couldn't help but say, "Why do I feel like I'm raising a son?!"
"..." Dongfang Long looked at Haitang with a look of utter despair. Even after Haitang left, he still hadn't come to his senses. In the past, Tangtang had even washed his hair, but she had never mentioned raising a son. Did he really look too childish?
He was somewhat puzzled, but it wasn't like this before they got married. When they were lying down, he would say, "Tangtang, I'm your man, not your son."
Hearing Dongfang Long's words, Haitang opened her eyes and smiled, then snuggled into his arms. "Didn't you say you should pamper your man like a son? It's alright..."
"No, I am Tangtang's man." He felt he should deeply reflect on himself. Dongfang Long was depressed all day, and the next day he met up with Shi Hu to hunt.
"Uncle, Tangtang said I'm like the son she raised," Dongfang Long said. "Uncle, what do you think we can do to make Tiantian realize that I'm her man?"
"Do you think it was the right choice to ask my father-in-law about this?" Shi Hu said irritably. "Besides, how would I know? It must be that you've offended Tangtang at some point."
My daughter treats her husband like a son. Come to think of it... it seems there really is such a sign. At first, I didn't think too much about it. It's just that Haitang dotes on this boy, almost like she dotes on Xingxing and Yueyue.
But to his surprise, it turned out to be a trap, and his daughter still fell for it. Even though he had agreed to it, Shi Hu still felt extremely frustrated every time he looked back on it.
When Dongfang Long heard this, he glanced at Shi Hu and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He sensed that his uncle was a little unhappy. Actually, Dongfang Long felt that Shi Hu was somewhat unhappy about Dongfang Long marrying his daughter. Of course, it was normal for him to sulk occasionally.
Haitang and Xiaoxiang took Ping'an out to collect materials. The child was placed in the car, and Xiaoxiang followed them to places at the foot of the mountains. With Erha in tow, there shouldn't be too many accidents.
Everyone in the village knew that Haitang was raising Ping'an, but no one asked any questions. Looking at the exquisitely beautiful Ping'an, it was hard to say whether they disliked her or liked her.
Especially the females who had been abused by hyenas were even less likely to have a good impression of Ping An. Fortunately, they didn't interfere with each other, which allowed little Ping An to grow up well and avoid being subjected to violence.
When Haitang walks steadily in the forest, Ping'an will lead the child out. Ping'an will also start digging for Haitang, using small pieces of wood to dig holes in the ground, and will also learn from Haitang to avoid digging into the ground.
"Sister, look, I've finished digging." Ping An said. Haitang nodded and told the child to put the basket in. The child immediately nodded and put it in the basket.
As soon as the basket was being filled, Ping An immediately got to work, crawling up and digging. With the three of them digging, the basket was quickly filled, and then they carried it out.
We started looking for other food. There was less food this year than in previous years, so it was a bit difficult to find. However, Haitang didn't insist too much.
There are plants at home, enough to support a few people, so even if there aren't any, there's no rush. Haitang will go to pick lychees, but when she goes to pick lychees, she will be with Xingxing, Yueyue, and others. Ping'an sits under the tree, obediently holding the lychees.
Xiaohe followed, and so did Haitang. As for Changning from Xiuxiu's family, she was now going around with her mother to collect lychees. Although lychees were delicious, they weren't enough to fill her up, so she didn't insist on having too many.
On the contrary, Shi Ming came with great interest and picked quite a few trees. He even followed the example of the crabapple trees and brought back some saplings. Today was the day for this family to work.
Shi Ming, a grown man, worked quite well up in the tree. He filled a basket in no time, much faster than the few little ones from the day before yesterday. The grass below caught the loads, and this time the entire tree was brought back in one go.
