The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

It was already late when they drove the ox cart back. Zhao Guizhi had washed the vegetables and was waiting for the sheep bones to come back for making soup. As soon as the ox cart entered the yard, Zhao Guizhi called Yan Sanmei to wash them. The water had already boiled, so they could just put the bones in the pot and stew them.

Chu Xiao sat in front of the stove and made a fire. Because it was too cold outside, he didn't want to move. After all, this was the warmest place.

Yan Zhenshen tied the ox cart to the backyard and then came in with three hot water bottles. Zhao Guizhi was naturally happy to see him, but she still complained about his wasteful spending.

It naturally takes longer to stew the mutton bones until they are soft and tender, and it is already dark by the time we eat.

Although it was already dark, no one was very hungry. Villagers usually eat two meals a day in winter, but the Yan family still eats three meals a day. As the days get shorter, the time interval between meals is also shorter, so they usually eat light meals in the evening.

Today the mutton pot was served and everyone gathered together to eat and drink. Mutton does have the effect of warming the body, and Chu Xiao felt warm after eating it.

In addition to warming up the body, it may have other effects. Chu Xiao tossed and turned until midnight.

The snow gradually got heavier at night. When I went out in the morning, I could see the white mountains in the distance. There was not much snow in the yard, and it quickly melted into water under the sun.

Yan Zhenshen got up early and built a new cowshed in the backyard. However, he did not do a good job of keeping the cowshed warm, and in winter these long-haired animals would not be able to withstand the cold.

Chu Xiao strolled to the backyard. The wolf cub poked its head out from its long fur covered in snow and then jumped over.

After all, the wolf cub is only a few months old and can't stand the cold even more than the big dog. He sleeps next to Taxue every night, and he doesn't feel cold because he is covered with long fur.

After the snow melted in the backyard, the ground became muddy. The wolf cub pounced on Chu Xiao's leg, leaving two black paw prints.

As if it knew it had done something wrong, it rolled away before Chu Xiao could react. Seeing that Chu Xiao had no intention of punishing it, it started to attract attention everywhere, roaring at the chickens and ducks, then jumping to reach the rabbit cage, and finally running to the calf to show off, and was kicked away by a hoof.

The calf was used to playing with him, so naturally it wouldn't kick him very badly. But the wolf cub was the best at acting like a spoiled child, howling and pretending to limp as he ran towards Chu Xiao. Halfway through his run, he was held down by Taxue's paw, so he just lay there obediently and stopped howling.

Yan Zhenshen covered the cowshed with straw mats. When he took the last mat, he found that the weight was wrong. He looked down and saw the wolf cub holding the other end of the mat and dragging it backwards with all his strength.

But how much strength could it have? Yan Zhenshen lifted it up with all his strength and picked up the wolf cub. The wolf cub bit the straw mat but couldn't hold it or let go. A whimpering sound came from its throat.

Yan Zhenshen deliberately shook it, and the wolf cub began to sway with it. However, the straw mat was not very strong, and after shaking a few times, it broke where the wolf cub had bitten it, and fell to the ground with a plop. The wolf cub screamed miserably, and Chu Xiao hurried forward: "Why is it screaming so miserably?"

"It's okay, I didn't lift it too high." Yan Zhenshen was childish for once, forgetting that his husband was watching them. He picked up the wolf cub and took a look. There was indeed nothing wrong with it. It was not even as heavy as a calf's hoof.

Chu Xiao didn't really care about the wolf cub. It was the wolf cub that was hated everywhere, so it was normal for it to be punished.

After fixing the cowshed, Yan Zhenshen also changed the hay in the chicken and duck coops and cleaned it up. Usually, these chores were done by the third sister. If Yan Zhenbei was at home, he would follow his sister and do them together.

Yan Zhenshen is a man who cannot sit still and has a lively mind. He does whatever he can that is convenient for him.

At noon, Zhao Guizhi used the remaining mutton soup to stew cabbage and radish, which tasted very good.

In the afternoon, Chu Xiao followed Yan Zhenshen to visit Wang Wu's house and saw that the wall of the farm at the foot of the North Mountain had been built, but no houses had been built yet. It snowed yesterday, so the construction here was stopped. It seemed that they would have to wait until the beginning of next spring to resume construction.

"Aunt Wang." Chu Xiao called someone outside Wang Wu's yard.

The Queen Mother was sweeping the yard. Seeing the two of them, she straightened up and said with a smile, "This snow will make water when it falls to the ground. If we don't clean it up, Luo Ge'er might fall. It's cold today. You can sit inside. Wang Wu and Luo Ge'er are both at home."

Chu Xiao smiled and nodded. Luo Ge'er also heard the voice, opened the door and waved to Chu Xiao.

Before he even entered the door, he heard a man not far away yelling at the top of his lungs. Chu Xiao turned around and saw Zhang Yiming being chased and beaten by his mother.

Zhang Yiming was tall and had long legs, so it was impossible for him to be caught. The point was that this guy was a bit naughty. He had to stop while running and turn around to argue with his mother: "This is just my character. Can you please stop harming other people's girls and boys?"

Zhang Yiming's mother was no pushover either. She was panting from exhaustion but still chased him with a broom and said, "You are the only child in our family. Do you want to end the family line in our family and make your father die with regret?"

"Why marry a wife? Are you going to starve together?" Zhang Yiming was not afraid of embarrassment at all. He stood in the middle of the road and said, "I can't even support myself, how can I support a wife? Anyway, I won't get married."

His mother chased after him and hit him on the arm with a broom. He yelled and continued to run forward, but he didn't run far before he stopped to make a noise. However, the distance was quite far and only vague sounds could be heard, so it was difficult to hear what they were arguing about.

Many people came out and stood at the door to watch the fun, and many people's dogs were startled and started barking.

The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly: "The Zhang family boy is not sensible at all. He is already nineteen years old after the Chinese New Year, but he is unwilling to meet someone else."

However, one has to admit that what Zhang Yiming said is right. Given his family's situation, if he marries another daughter, they will suffer together. After all, it is not a good thing for a widow to raise a son. How can there be any spare money in the family?

Wang Wu loved to watch the fun, and originally wanted to follow for a distance, but thinking that Yan Zhenshen was still there, he just peeked out the door for a while, and only returned to the yard when he could no longer see his figure.

Then the Queen Mother said, "Who would want to marry a scoundrel? I heard that the man his mother chose for him is a widower with a one-and-a-half-year-old baby."

This was in the yard, he didn't dare to speak too loudly, afraid of being heard by the people around him, "I heard that the widower had a hard time, her husband died and she was said to be unlucky, and she was kicked out without giving anything. He just returned to his parents' home for a few days, and his sister-in-law couldn't tolerate him, and looked for him everywhere, but she was afraid that good families would not want him, so she only found these idle and lazy girls."

The Queen Mother was not a bad person. After hearing this, she sighed and said, "What a sin."

Wang Wu shrugged, and did not forget to boast: "It's just that my parents and my husband's family are not human. If it were my family, neither my mother nor Luo Ge'er would do such a thing."

The Queen Mother was quite happy at first when she was praised, but then she realized something and slapped Wang Wu in the face: "Who are you cursing to death, you bastard?"

Wang Wu was slapped so hard that he cried out in pain: "Alas, I didn't curse anyone. I was just speaking from the facts and saying that mother and Luo Ge'er are both good people."

The Queen Mother refused to listen and slapped him several times, "A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory. Stop talking nonsense to me in the future."
