Chapter 61 Wintering



The weather outside is getting colder and colder. Haitang took out her quilt early because she felt it was getting colder. Although Yueyue and Xingxing have grown up, Xingxing still goes to Haitang's room to sleep.

Five-year-old Xingxing hugged her blanket and said, "Sister, your blanket is so soft." It's so soft and warm. It's so cozy and comfortable that she started rolling around on the bed.

Upon hearing this, Haitang looked at the other person and smiled, saying, "That's right, come here... this is your undergarment." Haitang then handed the other person a garment to wear.

A feathered coat, warm and cozy to wear, made Xingxing run over. As she put it on, she looked at Haitang and said, "Wear it carefully, is this for me, sister?"

"Of course, your second sister mended these for you back in the spring," Haitang said. Xiaohe had started mending them back in the spring. Looking at the child, she said, "Come on, get up."

"Mmm." Xingxing nodded, dressed warmly, and put on her shoes, which were modified by Xiaohe. She was also dressed warmly. Under these circumstances, she sat down not far away.

Haitang started making hot soup. While making the soup, Haitang was also making noodles. "Today we're making mixed noodles, with hot soup..." Haitang said, and everyone nodded in agreement.

After Haitang brought over the hot soup, she offered the group some noodles. Dongfang Long's noodles came with chili sauce, and he ate them with the most enjoyment. Shi Hu, though he also loved them, didn't dare to eat them as fiercely.

While the group was eating, they opened the window and looked out. Haitang was surprised to see that it was snowing. Haitang wanted to go out and play in the snow, but the weather made her hesitate.

Instead, Dongfang Long and Shi Hu went to cut down trees. When Haitang saw this, she asked, "Father, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say in the spring that you wanted to build a trellis for the vegetable garden so that the vegetables wouldn't get cold?" he said, looking at Haitang. Upon hearing this, Haitang's eyes immediately lit up.

"That's fantastic!" Haitang said directly. Hearing this, Shi Hu and Dongfang Long were delighted and began to build the shed. Plenty of hay was also placed inside the livestock shed, making it quite warm.

In Haitang's situation, she actually wanted to make a heated tatami bed, but she didn't know how to do that. Haitang thought that she could just make a bed and cut an opening so she could light a fire inside.

Soon, Haitang shook her head. While Dongfang Long and the others were preparing things outside, Haitang started making dumplings. Although there was no fire inside the room, several bonfires were piled up outside.

While making dumplings, Haitang looked directly at Xiaohe and asked, "Are you cold?" Xiaohe shook her head.

"It's not cold." Last year it was very cold, but this year it's not cold at all. Under these circumstances, Haitang looked at Xiaohe and reached out to grab Xiaohe's hand.

The little dumpling looked at the crabapple.

"Your hands are still a little warm," Haitang said. Relieved that her hands were indeed a little warm, she then went to cook the food.

After cooking, Haitang finished cooking and told Dongfanglong to come back and eat. She then wrapped the food in a jar and said, "Take this to your third uncle." Upon hearing this, Yueyue nodded.

Carrying the steaming hot jar, Yueyue went to Shi Ming's place. After looking at her, Shi Ming said, "Your sister asked you to bring this. It's too little, so stingy..."

"My older sister and second sister have been making dumplings for a long time," Yueyue complained. Hearing this, Shi Ming glanced at Yueyue.

They started eating, and the taste was pretty good. Then they went to get some flour. "How about we eat together at your house sometime?"

"No." Yueyue immediately shook her head and said, "No, it will make you very tired." Yes, very tired. Under these circumstances, Yueyue immediately shook her head.

Yueyue felt that his sister would be very tired and overworked to cook, and with only one person eating, she didn't want her sister to cook any more food.

Watching Yueyue put down her food and leave, Shi Ming sighed, "Your children are quite united." At least Yueyue seems to care for her older sister, but she didn't say anything and started eating.

When Haitang saw Yueyue return in a huff, she asked, "What's wrong?" She then took a towel and brushed the snow off Yueyue's body, and offered her a sip of hot soup.

In the spring, Haitang made a small hot pot stove and placed it in the kitchen to heat up soup. Of course, the stove needs to be fueled with firewood, otherwise it will go out and need to be relit.

“Third Uncle wanted to come to our house for a meal, but I wouldn’t let him. My sister and second sister work so hard preparing the food, it would be too tiring for you if they came too.” Yueyue said, and Haitang gently ruffled Yueyue’s hair upon hearing this.

"I see. Well... Uncle San is pitiful, but Yueyue did the right thing too." To be honest, adult beastmen and humans alike are all people who consume food.

Shi Hu now eats an extra bowl of noodles compared to when he was first introduced to the human race. Of course, Shi Hu restricts his food intake in winter, so you can imagine how much food he needs to prepare for each day.

At night, Dongfang Long and the others were all in their rooms. Haitang wanted to get her hands on the loom, but she didn't know anything about the techniques. As for the system? It seemed like the system had given up on her.

However, this didn't cause Haitang too much trouble. Anyway, right now, she only needed the system to help her with this porcelain; she could handle everything else herself, so it didn't bother her too much.

When Haitang and the others went to sleep at night, the weather was getting colder and colder. When Haitang woke up the next day, she heard someone knocking on the door. Shi Hu went to open it and saw his second brother carrying a baby who was about one year old.

"What's wrong?" Shi Hu asked, looking at the child. Shi Shui's face showed some anxiety.

"This child had a fever yesterday. Have Tangtang take a look at him." Not everyone has the same level of warmth as Haitang. Although the fur is warm, the problem is that the fur is prickly on the skin, especially for young children. In this case, wearing a rough cloth garment that is not very close-fitting underneath will inevitably allow drafts to get in.

Of course, the house was also a problem. There were places where the air would come in, and the children would get a fever from the cold wind. Haitang's house was different; they used straw mats, which were wrapped around the children several times to prevent drafts from coming in at night and affecting them. In this day and age, even medicine was a troublesome thing if you got cold.
