Haitang thought to herself, "If only I could raise silkworms, I would have so much more silk thread. Even though Xiuxiu doesn't have any, it doesn't stop her from coming here to learn."
After returning home, Xiuxiu couldn't sleep, so the next day she killed a few rabbits, cleaned their fur, and a few days later, she took it to Haitang and made a small ball of yarn, just enough to make a hat for her husband.
When Shi Shui looked at the hat, he asked, "What is this thing?" It was very warm, and he didn't need anything to blow on his ears when he went out. Although he could transform into a beast, there were time and limitations.
“It’s a hat. I learned how to make it from Tangtang. I thought you go out every day and your ears got frostbite, so I made it for you.” Xiuxiu said, looking at her man.
When Shi Shui heard this, he reached out and hugged Xiu Xiu, "Yours?"
“We stay at home and don’t go out, but we’ll get some when we have the chance,” he said, looking at the stone water.
"You've always been like this." Xiuxiu has always been like this, giving herself the best food. Although she sometimes likes to scold people and is sharp-tongued, it's all for herself.
When something happened to Shi Hu's family, she forbade herself to help them, not for any other reason than that she wanted to make things better for her own family and have more food to eat.
Sometimes this woman really warms my heart. When she heard this, Xiuxiu looked at Shishui and said, "You are my man, of course I have to care for you. Only when you are well can our whole family be well."
As long as the water quality is good, everyone in the family will be fine. "Look how much stronger our little one is growing, it's all thanks to you."
Shi Shui looked at his wife holding her without saying anything. No, although he was good at hunting, he didn't bring much food or clothing to his family.
Xiuxiu worked hard and learned a lot. She changed everything in her family and made sure the children were well-fed. Xiuxiu deserves half the credit for all of this.
Haitang was unaware that Xiuxiu was showing affection with her second uncle, or perhaps she was making a sweater and giving it to Shihu and Dongfanglong.
Actually, Haitang sometimes wondered why her clothes didn't burst off after she became a beastman. Haitang later learned that after becoming a beastman, her clothes would turn into fur or something similar and be hidden inside, so they wouldn't burst off.
Of course, this is a good thing. If the clothes were torn apart, there really wouldn't be that many clothes left. Two gray sweaters were made for Shi Hu and Dongfang Long. Dongfang Long wore the one that Haitang made herself, and Dongfang Long was extremely happy.
"Tangtang's sweater is very pretty," Dongfang Long said. Tangtang was making a sweater for him, not for her uncle, which meant that Tangtang really cared about him the most.
Actually, it wasn't that. It was because Xiaohe cared about her father the most, so she made it for him. Haitang thought that since no one else cared about Dongfang Long, she would make it for him too. When she saw Dongfang Long wearing it, she asked, "Is it warm?"
"It's very warm, I won't feel cold after going out," Dongfang Long said. Haitang nodded, grabbed Dongfang Long's hand, and Dongfang Long immediately squatted down at Haitang's feet. Haitang ruffled Dongfang Long's hair.
"Be careful when you and your father go out. Is the knife any good?" Haitang asked Dongfang Long, who nodded.
"It works well, but it's a little heartbreaking." Tangtang had used the knife she gave herself to kill an animal, and it was still chipped. When Haitang saw this, she couldn't help but laugh.
"A knife is meant to be used. If it's chipped, it's chipped. I'll find you more weapons in the future... so you can protect yourself," Haitang said, looking at Dongfang Long.
Protecting oneself is protecting others; this is Haitang's only understanding. Dongfang Long nodded, looking at Haitang, and asked, "When will Tangtang grow up?"
"Grown up? I've grown up?" Haitang asked. Dongfang Long looked at Haitang but didn't say anything.
“But Tangtang hasn’t bled yet,” Dongfang Long said. Tangtang was almost sixteen years old and hadn’t bled yet. Haitang blushed and glared at Dongfang Long.
"How did you know?" Haitang asked. When Dongfang Long looked at Haitang, he knew that she was angry.
“We orcs have a very good nose, you don’t smell of blood at all.” Haitang immediately covered Dongfanglong’s mouth. Dongfanglong blinked and looked at Haitang, wondering why Tangtang hadn’t grown up yet.
However, he didn't transform into a beast. He was just a little worried. The other girls had come a few years ago, so why hadn't Tangtang come? "Are you feeling unwell?"
“Go away, you’re the one who’s uncomfortable. This is normal. No… what am I telling you? This is not something you beastmen should know,” Haitang said. “Next time, you’re not allowed to ask other females.”
"Hmm, I'll just ask Tangtang." The other females are none of her business, she'll just ask Tangtang. Haitang couldn't help but twitch her lips. Oh well... it's normal for a child to ask its mother. Haitang accepted Dongfang Long's somewhat strange concern.
Dongfang Long was dressed to the nines today, all smiles as he went out. Shi Hu glanced at Dongfang Long, sensing something was off...
"Come here for a moment." Shi Hu had heard Dongfang Long's question to Haitang, and upon hearing this, Dongfang Long went over.
"Why are you asking Tangtang those things? Don't you know that you can't ask females about these things? You can only ask your own female, understand?" she said, looking at Dongfang Long. Then she thought about it and realized that if Dongfang Long hadn't spoken, he might not have had any females.
"Ahem... I wasn't saying that to you, but don't ask Tangtang next time." He thought that maybe the child had heard some nonsense somewhere and came back to ask his daughter.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long nodded. He wouldn't ask other females; he could only ask his own.
