Chapter 50: One Year Ends Amidst the Sound of Firecrackers The stove, which had been neglected in favor of the fire pit, was put to great use once again. Zhao Mengcheng poured half a pot of oil to fry snacks. He made mahua, oil cakes, meatballs, and crispy pork. These fried treats, which he usually found too troublesome to make, could finally be enjoyed to everyone's heart's content at the end of the year. Wheat was not grown in the area around Qingshan Village, and flour was difficult to buy.…- 253.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 49: Occupying the Nest1 After the snow fell, the weather grew even colder. The mountain roads became difficult to traverse, and the tofu business in Qingshan Village came to a complete halt. The heavy snow severed Qingshan Village's connection to the outside world. Nestled at the foot of Mount Qingshan, the village suddenly took on an air of being isolated from the world. Every household began to hunker down for the winter. Zhao Mengcheng, however, quite enjoyed this tranquility. Every…- 253.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 48: The Great Sentimentalist "Daddy." The child rubbed against his palm affectionately before closing his eyes and falling back into a deep sleep. The furrow between his brows vanished. The Cotton-padded Quilt was very warm, and both children slept with rosy cheeks. Zhao Chun suddenly rolled over, pinning half his body onto his younger brother, though he remained sound asleep himself. Zhao Mengcheng chuckled and moved the boy's legs off. However, before he could even turn to leave the…- 253.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 47: Second Brother's Gone Mad Zhao Chun was still dazed when he was woken up by someone choking him, only to be fully awakened by a loud slap from his younger brother. Zhao Mao seemed to be unleashing a lifetime’s worth of frustration, resentment, and anger. He straddled his older brother and slapped him repeatedly. "You bastard! I told you not to trust them, but you just had to! A few sweet words and you were ready to slaughter a whole city. Damn it, you deserved to die!" "You think…- 253.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 46: The Hair Flower "Daddy, I want that." Zhao Xin stared at a small stall not far away, unable to move. It was a stall selling miscellaneous goods, covered in a colorful array of items that looked very festive. Zhao Mengcheng pulled his daughter over. "Which one do you like?" The vendor greeted them warmly. "Take a look, little girl. Don't be fooled by my small stall; these goods are all brought from Fengzhou Prefecture. They're the most fashionable items around." "Look at how…- 253.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 45: Going to the New Year Market No matter how cute the rabbits were, Zhao Mengcheng skinned them as soon as he brought them home. He hung two to air-dry, gave one to Uncle Yang for a treat, and once the pelts were processed, all four of them would have hats to wear. Zhao Mengcheng had originally worried that Zhao Xin would be reluctant to see them go, but the little girl didn't even blink. Instead, she counted on her fingers and said, "One braised, one steamed." "Rabbit meat is too lean;…- 253.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 44: Rabbits are Delicious At first glance, seeing the White Snake's massive head squeezed into the small window with blood dripping from its mouth would give anyone a case of megalophobia. Fortunately, Zhao Mengcheng was no ordinary person. After his initial surprise, he calmed down and asked, "What are you doing here?" Looking closer, he realized it wasn't the White Snake opening its bloody maw to attack. Instead, the creature was holding a fat rabbit in its mouth. The rabbit's hind legs…- 253.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 43: Large Cotton-padded Quilts The entire Qingshan Village was mobilized. After teaching the others how to make the large longbows and the tools for cotton fluffing, Zhao Mengcheng naturally headed up the mountain as well. He was responsible for carrying the cotton back down. The cotton looked light and airy, but when piled and pressed into baskets, it was not light at all. Zhao Chun and his two siblings wanted to follow along, but the Village Chief stopped them. If they went, the other…- 253.2 K • Ongoing
