Pig Killer

Chapter 121

"You only know how to eat, what can you think of?" Shen Changsheng said to his third brother with amusement, lifted up his clothes and sat down, "This is indeed much more convenient."

"Of course, why would I do it if it's inconvenient?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "All the changes to the house are for comfort and convenience."

I was thinking of tearing down my house and rebuilding it!

The Chinese people are persistent and at least have their own comfortable home.

Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and bottomless eyes and said, "We don't have so many servants, who are always around us and do all the work. They don't even have to walk on the ground."

"How can you walk without getting off the ground?" Da Chong looked at his mother with a puzzled look on his face.

"Haha..." Shen Changsheng smiled at his naive nephew, "They carried him in a sedan chair, so of course he didn't have to walk."

"Oh!" The big tiger nodded in understanding.

"Some nobles are fed by servants." Shen Hui'e rolled her eyes gracefully.

"It's too exaggerated that I have hands and feet!" The raccoon slave said to her, blinking his eyes like black grapes.

"It's so exaggerated." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her inky black eyes and said, "It's written on the bamboo slips."

"Those recorded are all tyrants." Da Chong looked at her with his eyes wide open.

"The rich local tycoons in the countryside are similar." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with raised eyebrows.

"I can't learn it." The big tiger shook his head like a rattle and looked at them and said.

"Little fool." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "Such a life requires strong financial support. I don't even think about it!"

"Even if you have money, you can't do it." The raccoon slave looked at her with his watery eyes and said.

"So my original intention was to create so many things." Shen Hui'e said, patting the wooden table and bench.

"Now Liu Ding's business is getting better again." Shen Changsheng said with a smile.

"Uncle, this is very expensive, not everyone can afford it." The big tiger looked at him with round eyes and said, "Only the rich families in the county have ordered it."

Shen Changsheng thought about it and said, "It does take a lot of wood." He smiled and said, "The rich families in Shan County also made a lot of money."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile, "It was originally used by small families. The rich families have servants and they don't lack people to boil water."

"Yeah!" Shen Changsheng nodded and said regretfully, "It can't be used this winter."

"It's too cold. A cold can be fatal." Shen Hui'e said fearfully.

This is by no means an exaggeration. The current level of medical care is terrifying!

It doesn't matter if it's dirty! Saving your life is the most important thing, and it's the same for everyone.

Don't look down on anyone!

"It would be great if there were hot springs so we could soak in them all year round." The clever little head of the raccoon slave shook.

"Hot spring?" Shen Changsheng looked at her in confusion.

"The water coming out of the ground is not cold water, but hot water." The cat slave Hu Lingling looked at him with curved eyes and said.

"We don't have this here. It's very rare in some places." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.

"I know that even if we have it here, we can't enjoy it." The raccoon slave looked at him with pure eyes.

"Your mother is right." Shen Changsheng looked at her with deep eyes.

It must be presented to the higher-ups first, Shen Changsheng complained in his heart.

"Okay, I won't leave this time. What's the matter? Let's talk later." Shen Changsheng stood up and said, "I bought some brushes this time." He looked at them softly and said, "You don't need to use the brushes your mother made herself anymore."

Da Chong looked at his mother carefully and said, "The brushes made by my mother are also very good."

"I didn't say it was bad." Shen Changsheng looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "I meant that your mother doesn't have to work so hard anymore."

"You learned to speak from your uncle. He obviously disliked the quality of the brushes I made, but what he said was very pleasant to hear." Shen Hui'e joked with a smile.

"Haha..." Shen Changsheng shook his head and laughed, "You are really good. You even use this to preach."

"You can be sweet-mouthed without offending others." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Misfortune comes from the mouth! Can't you say anything even if you hit me with three sticks? Or can you not speak well? Your honesty can choke people to death."

Shen Changsheng looked at her in astonishment, smiled and shook his head.

"Don't laugh." Shen Hui'e looked at him seriously and said, "Children learn from adults. If a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. We should set an example and pay attention to our words and deeds." She raised her eyebrows and said, "It is meaningless to punish the child for doing something wrong. But you have to tell them what they can and cannot do. If they knowingly break the rules, they will be punished, and the punishment will be severe."

"You didn't have so many ideas before." Shen Changsheng chuckled and shook his head when he heard this.

"They were small before, but now they are not small anymore!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with gentle eyes.

Shen Changsheng smiled and nodded, "You're right! I will set an example and change my bad habits." He stood up and said, "Come on, come with me to get the gift."

Shen Hui'e and the others stood up, took the gifts off the carriage, and watched Shen Changsheng drive away in the carriage.

"Uncle can drive now." Da Chong said in surprise, "Last time he was leading the cart."

"This is not easy to learn! You will be able to do it if you try hard." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes and said.

"I want to learn, too." The big tiger looked at her with his dark eyes and said eagerly.

"You can learn if you want to, but you're not tall enough now." Shen Hui'e looked at him with curved eyebrows and said, "You're not even as tall as a horse, how can you control it?" She smiled and said, "Wait until you grow taller!"

"Ah!" said the big insect with a flat mouth, "Can't we try it?"

"You can try it if you want! I wonder if you can hold the reins." Shen Hui'e responded readily.

"Why can't I pull the reins? I'm sure I can do it." The big tiger said confidently.

Shen Hui'e chuckled and shook her head when she heard this, "The horse wants to go east, and you want to go west." She looked him up and down and said, "Are you sure your little body can do it?"

"Hehe...you'll be dragged away by the horse." The cat slave Hu Lingling looked at him with smiling eyes.

"Some things can't be done just by thinking about them." Shen Hui'e tapped his head with her fingers and said, "You need to have the strength to do it."

"Strength?" The big tiger asked her with his dark eyes.

"It's just a skill! Learning skills." Shen Hui'e said simply and roughly, "Even if it's a cat catching a mouse, a kitten has to learn from its mother."

"Cats catch mice?" The raccoon looked at her with his big, blinking eyes and said, "Isn't that natural?"

"Little fool, you are not born with knowledge. You learn it later." Shen Hui'e said to them with her dark and bright eyes.

"Woof woof..." Huang Er shouted at them, that's right!

"But our Yellow Ear doesn't need to learn!" said the big insect with a smile, "It's no good for a dog to meddle in other people's business!"

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Huang Er is wild, after all, he was tamed by a wolf, and chasing prey is his nature."

"Woof woof..." Huang Er barked twice very smartly.

Shen Hui'e watched the wheat ears grow bigger and bigger, and the green ears of wheat showed her joy. Every time she came back from the countryside to collect pigs, she would grab a handful of wheat ears and roast them to make delicious food.

"Pig-killing lady, why are your hands so black?"

"Oh! Burning green wheat ears is not dirty!" Shen Hui'e explained quickly.

The green wheat ears are roasted over fire and then rubbed by hands to reveal the grains. They taste juicy and very fragrant.

But it will take a few days to wash off the black hands.

"Madam butcher, my family can't bear to eat it like this." Neighbors in front of the meat stall said.

"This is such a waste."

"If I dared to eat like this secretly when I was a kid, I would be beaten if my mother caught me."

"How can you take the initiative to bring this kind of food to your child?"

"How much can you eat from a few handfuls of green wheat ears? Not that much! Let the children try something new." Shen Hui'e said to the neighbors with eyes as gentle as jade.

"You really spoil the child."

"We can only eat it for a few days. When the sun shines in two days, the wheat will turn yellow. If you want to eat it, you have to wait until next year." Shen Hui'e said with a gentle look, and then added happily, "The wheat is growing well this year, and the grains are plump."

"I go to the fields every day to check on my plants, and they are growing really well."

"This year there was plenty of rain and more fertilizer than in previous years, so the trees grew well naturally."

"I just hope that the weather will be good from now until the summer harvest so that we can bring all the wheat home."

"Uh-huh!"

"The wheat is ripe, but this bird is annoying and comes to steal our wheat."

"I saw a straw man standing on the ground." Shen Hui'e handed the tied pork to the buyer and said, "Take it."

"That straw man is not very useful. Someone has to drive him away."

"That's right, that's right. It's like this every year. It's so annoying."

"That bird is so annoying. Why does it have to eat our wheat when there are so many other insects to eat?"

"It's been like this for many years. Don't be angry, don't be angry. Even birds know that wheat is delicious!"

The pork was sold out amid the condemnation.

"Mother, it seems we have to go to the fields and chase the birds away." The big tiger looked up at her and said.

"Don't worry, we have more people and won't let the birds steal the food." Cheng Donglai said confidently, "Let's split up, one group at night and one group during the day."

"This is not a solution after all." Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at them. She pondered for a moment and said, "If we keep going like this, there will still be summer harvest! Our bodies won't be able to bear it."

"But this is how we get through it. After the summer harvest, just have a good sleep." Cheng Donglai looked at her with innocent eyes and said.

"Do we still have to think of a way to deal with the straw man?" Shen Hui'e said, stroking her chin.

"It would be nice if this straw man could move like a real person." The raccoon said to his mother with wet eyes, "It would be nice if it could move like a bamboo dragonfly and drive away the flies."

Shen Hui'e blinked her bright black eyes and looked at the bamboo dragonfly flashing above her head. Her eyes lit up and she said, "I think I have a solution."
