Pig Killer

Chapter 164

"Yeah! It's so warm and comfortable to sleep." The big tiger nodded vigorously in agreement, "Before, I was shivering with cold, and I would fall asleep while freezing." He smiled and said, "Now as long as people are diligent, this fire will not be extinguished, and it will be warm all the time."

"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e smiled but said nothing when she heard this.

"Mother, you got up at night to add firewood." The cat slave looked at her with affirmative eyes.

"Of course, add firewood, otherwise the bed will be cold in the second half of the night." Shen Hui'e said to them with her crystal clear eyes.

"How come I didn't notice it!" said the big tiger, looking at her with his black eyes.

"You sleep like a pig and can't even hear the thunder." Shen Hui'e said, tapping his head with her fingers.

"Haha..." Da Chong scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I feel so satisfied sleeping in the warm bed."

"Should we stay indoors or go for a run?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "It's snowing outside."

"Train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer." The big tiger wrapped himself tightly, opened the door and stepped into the heavy snow.

"I think you want to play in the snow." Shen Hui'e looked at their backs with amusement and said, "Be careful, don't slip."

"I know." The big tiger waved his hands and said loudly.

Shen Hui'e looked at them wearing lambskin clothes, their whiteness blending into the snow.

This lambskin is really warm.

Finally, I no longer wear straw sandals. Now I wear sheepskin boots. They are a bit rough, but they keep me warm.

Wearing a thick hat with ear protection made of dog skin, my head suddenly no longer feels cold.

Shen Hui'e took out a big broom from the house and swept the snow in the yard first.

&*&

After Shen Hui'e had swept the front and back yards clean, Da Chong and the others ran back with red faces.

"Mother, mother, my body is very responsive now!" said the big tiger excitedly looking at her.

"How do you know?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement.

"Let's play snowball fight. I can easily dodge the snowballs no matter which direction they come from." The big insect looked at her with stars in his eyes.

"Alright! It's not in vain." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile, then looked up at Huang Yuanji and the others behind her and said, "What about you?"

"Me too." Huang Yuanji looked at her with a bright smile on his face.

"Are you confident now?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"Got it, got it." Huang Zhaoye and the others nodded vigorously.

With confidence, I practiced more vigorously under the rack.

"Is your father's business okay? It hasn't been affected, right?" Shen Hui'e asked him with concern, looking at him with eyes as black as jade.

"It's not affected. The suspended ceiling business is basically all the shops on the street." Huang Yuanji looked at her with his dark and clear eyes and said, "The business of ordinary families has decreased a lot."

"I understand! Now everyone is saving money to buy food and dare not spend money recklessly." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "The shops along the street are all well-off. They all have ceilings. If you don't, your business will be greatly affected at the same price."

"Yeah! Business is especially good. We took advantage of the national mourning period to close the door and queue up, waiting for the ceiling to be installed." Huang Yuanji said to her with a smile.

"It's just like what mother said." Li Nu looked at her with stars in his eyes.

"You can guess it." Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and said, "Let's go inside. It's snowing heavily outside." The snow showed no sign of stopping.

"Mother, you have swept the white snow, and now another layer of snow has fallen." The big tiger looked at her with his black eyes and said.

"Little fool, it's not in vain that you sweep the snow. It's because it's thick all of a sudden that you can't sweep it!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said, "This snow is not easy to shovel with a shovel." She looked at them tenderly and said, "It's not suitable to practice boxing and kicking outside because of the snow today. You can write big characters inside. Your handwriting is pretty good now, and you can recognize a lot of characters."

IOU! What did Huang Yuanji first learn to recognize and then how to write?

Now there is no big problem in reading bamboo slips.

This is the bad thing about classical Chinese: it is really difficult to punctuate sentences.

Shen Hui'e simply introduced punctuation marks to facilitate sentence reading.

The heavy snow fell for a whole day and night. "It finally stopped," Shen Hui'e said, looking at the thick snow. "If it continues, I'm afraid our roof will not be able to hold up."

Upon hearing this, the tiger immediately said, "Mother, let's clear the snow off the roof!"

"How do we clean this?" Shen Hui'e said worriedly, "Can this roof support you?" She was a little afraid that the roof would collapse.

"Yes! In the past, my father went up to the roof to clear the snow and it was no problem. I am much lighter than him." The big tiger said with a smile, "I can go up by myself, stand at the highest point, and push down."

Shen Hui'e carefully searched her memory and found that it was indeed cleaned in that way.

"Then take the ladder and go up!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright dark eyes.

"I'll do it." Xiaodouzi put down the broom in his hand and said actively, ran into the utility room, took out the ladder, and put it on the roof.

The big bug quickly climbed onto the roof with a shovel like a monkey, and stood on the highest point on the thick snow. "I'm going to push the snow. Be careful not to get hit."

"Got it." Shen Hui'e and the others hid far away.

"Bang bang..." The big bug pushed the snow directly down from the roof.

Shen Hui'e's pupils shrank slightly. This seemed to be fun!

It’s really fun to push!

It’s much more fun than sweeping snow, and it looks much easier.

When the big bug came down from the roof, Shen Hui'e asked with concern, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired, very relaxed." Da Chong patted his arms and said actively, "I'm going to clean the wing room."

"Go! Let's shovel the snow you pushed down into the vegetable field." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes as gentle as jade.

Finally, the tiger even cleared the snow on the roof of the pigsty.

"Mother, can we not write today and go have a snowball fight instead?" Da Chong looked at her nervously and said, "It's rare to have snow. If the snow melts in a couple of days, there will be nothing to play with."

"We play snowball fights to practice our boxing and kicking techniques." Li Nu blinked his innocent eyes and looked at her hopefully.

"Go!" Shen Hui'e smiled slightly and said with the corners of her lips raised.

"Yeah!" Big Tide and his friends jumped and skipped to the outside of the city, where there was a lot of snow.

The snow in the city has been cleared by every household.

"Silly boy, you don't even have time to eat." Shen Hui'e looked at their backs, shook her head and chuckled.

What to eat on such a cold day? Wontons are the best.

But I can’t eat meat now, so I’ll have some noodle soup. A bowl of hot soup will make you feel so comfortable!

The children came back hungry. Shen Huie looked at them playing with steam rising from their heads and said, "You must be hungry! Cook the noodles right away. It will be ready soon."

Da Chong placed his dog-skin hat on the square table and sat on the bench. He looked at her with a heavy face and called out, "Mother!"

"What's wrong? Sit on the bed! Are you cold? Sit so far away?" Shen Hui'e turned around and looked at them in silence, all sitting listlessly on the benches. "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy about playing snowballs? Why are you angry?"

"No, it has nothing to do with the snowball fight. You see, our clothes are not wet." The cat slave said while grabbing the lamb fleece.

"What's wrong?" Shen Hui'e asked as she stood in front of them and glanced at them, "Where are Yuanji and the others?"

"They went home." Li Nu looked at her with innocent eyes and said.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Hui'e asked them with her dark eyes.

"When I passed by the grain store, half of the corn they were selling still had husks in it!" said the big tiger angrily.

"Hasn't the corn been pounded?" Shen Hui'e asked with raised eyebrows.

"If they didn't pound it, I wouldn't say anything." The tiger was so angry that he stood up and said, "These black-hearted profiteers are using corn husks to pass off as corn."

"This is too dark!" Shen Hui'e looked at him in disbelief and said, "People who buy food will be willing to do so."

"They are so arrogant that they say: It's up to you to buy it or not. If you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who will." The tiger said with such anger that his teeth were itching.

"It seems that the grain shop doesn't have much grain, so they did this." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "Too many people have bought grain these days. The sudden increase has almost run out of grain in this grain shop."

"You can't do that! This is clearly bullying. It's too much." The tiger said angrily, puffing up his cheeks.

"I didn't say they were right! Unscrupulous merchants are conscienceless." Shen Hui'e looked at them helplessly and said, "But you can't do anything about it now." Then she added, "If he doesn't buy food, the people queuing to buy food will be anxious." She looked at him thankfully and said, "Now we mix it with corn husks, not loess."

"Yellow earth?" The raccoon looked at her with his eyes wide open like black grapes.

"There's nothing a black-hearted businessman can't do." Shen Hui'e said to them with an unpleasant expression.

"Ah..." Da Chong sighed heavily, "I never knew the grain shop owner was such a person before. He looks quite kind."

"True true character is revealed in times of trouble." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep, clear eyes and said, "Don't think too much. She can still think about ordinary people! She might be counting money at home right now, until her hands are tired!"

"Mother, all the money has been used to buy food. Will anyone still buy this pork?" Da Chong said worriedly with a frown.

"Yes! Ordinary people may not have money, but the rich are not affected." Shen Hui'e looked at them with warm eyes and said, "Don't think too much. If it really doesn't work, the farmers can still eat it themselves."

"Mom, the water is boiling." Li Nu said, pointing to the big iron pot on the stove.

"Cook the noodles, cook the noodles." Shen Hui'e quickly got up and walked to the stove, and put the rolled noodles into the boiling water.

"Let's eat noodles!" Li Nu came over and looked at her and asked.

"Noodle soup, eat something hot." Shen Hui'e raised her eyes slightly and looked at her and said, "Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with eggs."
