Chapter 308 The Cold Season Passes
Chapter 308 The Cold Season Passes
The wind was blowing and wolves were howling, and everything was silent.
Time flies when you are busy, but in the last month of the winter season, Yu He couldn't help feeling depressed when he saw that the sky outside had not been bright for a long time.
The three cubs at home are not much better than her. No one knows how many times they have fought at home this winter season.
If Qingyue's family, Yunxi and Yu hadn't brought some fresh food from outside when they had nothing to do, I'm afraid the three cubs would have made even more noise at home.
The two sisters, who were inseparable in the past, slept in separate rooms out of spite after several quarrels.
"Ah He, look what this is?"
Yu He looked back and saw that Mu Fei had a bunch of bright red flowers in her arms.
The flowers she grew in the backyard during the rainy season quickly withered before she moved them to the front hall before the cold season.
After the cold season came, Mu Fei and Bai Lan often brought back beautiful flowers from outside to put at home in order to make her and the three cubs happy.
But this was the first time she had seen such bright red flowers.
"What kind of flower is this? Where did you find it?"
Yu He's gloomy mood was finally relieved a little when he saw the flowers.
With a look of surprise on her face, she took the flower handed to her by Mu Fei, bent down to smell it, and the fragrance was very light, which was very friendly to the orcs' keen sense of smell.
Seeing the smile on Ah He's face, Mu Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't like Ah He who just sat there quietly in a daze. He liked her who acted coquettishly towards him and pretended to cry from time to time to "bully him".
Because Ah He is "alive" like that, instead of being like a withering flower, losing her brilliance bit by bit.
"It doesn't have a name. Ah He, if you like, give it a name."
This is a flower that Mu Fei discovered in a remote swamp after running a long way outside. He tried the flower on ordinary wild animals and found it to be non-toxic, so he dared to bring it back for Yu He and the three cubs at home.
Yu He immediately started thinking, and after a while, she smiled and said, "Let's call it Red Cloud Flower, because it is the same color as the red clouds in the sky sometimes."
Mu Fei said softly, "Hmm," "As long as you like it."
"Are there many of these red rosy flowers? If so, I want to use some petals to dye cloth."
She had to keep the red.
Mu Fei hesitated for a moment, "Maybe not that much."
The flowers growing in that swamp should all be growing on the strange beast, but since it is the last month of the cold season, it is full and sleeping soundly.
He picked the flower gently, so he didn't scare it.
In order to see the flowers blooming in the winter next year, he only picked half of them.
"That's it."
Yu He looked disappointed and said, looking at the red rosy flower in his hand, "It seems that I can only wait until it is about to wither and then dry it into a dried flower."
She wasn't bothered by this. There were too few things that could make her happy during the cold season, so she didn't want this happy moment to become so short.
"A Fei, you also gave flowers to Qingqing, Shushu, and Chuchu, right? Let's go down and see if they can use the flowers for something else."
The cubs don’t have that much patience. Even if they are happy for a while when they see such bright red flowers, they will soon get bored.
Especially Bai Qing, he would definitely pluck the flowers of his two sisters before they secretly plucked his flowers.
By then, the three of them will definitely have a big fight over how to arrange the petals.
"I want to dye my nails! Mom said that safflower can be crushed and used to dye nails!" This is Chuchu's voice.
One time, Yu He was so bored that he used red mineral pigment to create red nails.
Chuchu fell in love with him at first sight.
But Bai Lan and Mu Fei don’t like it, and Chu Chu is young, so she might eat it.
Yu He quickly took it off and instead focused on getting fabrics of various colors to make artificial flowers at home.
"I'm going to dry the flowers so they can last a long time."
Shushu's voice was light, and she was quite literary in this regard.
When she said she would preserve it, she definitely wouldn't be like Yu He, who just put it there and forgot about it.
Instead, she would carefully keep it in her treasure chest.
"Then I want to dye the cloth."
Bai Qing said this just to irritate her two sisters. "What you made is useless. Why don't you give me all your red flowers? I'll use them to dye cloth, and then after the cloth is dyed, I'll make a piece of fake flower jewelry for each of you."
Chu Chu: "Don't even think about it!"
Shushu: "Get lost!"
It is true that Bai Qing inherited Bai Lan and Yu He in terms of hands-on ability. Whether it is dyeing cloth or making fake flower jewelry, as long as he wants, he can do it well.
But the problem is that dyeing cloth definitely requires a lot of safflower. The safflower in their hands plus the safflower in his hand is not enough to dye a long piece of cloth red.
Besides, there was red cloth at home, so why would he take their red flowers?
Shushu and Chuchu felt that their brother had become annoying all of a sudden during this cold season, but their brother was very good at making things to appease them.
This made them neither angry nor annoyed, and they had to fight with him every time.
Then as they beat him, he finally got the pleasure of beating him.
Shushu, Chuchu: ...Brother is such a disgusting and weird creature, huh!
When Yu He and Mu Fei came down, Bai Qing was next to the two sisters, saying all kinds of nice things to coax them to give him the red flowers.
Especially Shushu, she would tell him how long it would take to make dried flowers and how many flowers she would take. She would dye the rest of the flowers for him, and he would then make her a sachet to hold the dried flowers.
Shushu was almost convinced by her brother, but when she looked up and saw her mother, her eyes lit up.
"Mother, my brother said he wants to use my safflower to dye cloth."
Yu He looked at Bai Qing with a smile, "It takes a lot of flowers to dye the cloth. Why do you keep coaxing your sister to give you all the flowers?"
Bai Qing touched his head with a smile, "Isn't this fun? I have to find something to do if I stay at home all day, and you won't let me do carpentry."
As he said this, he sighed.
For Yu He and the others, carpentry not only hurts his hands, but because he is not as strong as his father and Mu Fei, the hammering and banging can easily disturb the orcs at home.
But dyeing cloth is different. He can do it, and his two sisters can do it together.
If the mother can help watch and give instructions, the family won't be so depressed.
"You are right."
Yu He couldn't bear to see her cub looking so lost. She glanced at her red flowers and glared at her male cub. "Let me look after the flowers for a few more days. I'll keep a few to make dried flowers for myself, and the rest will be used to dye cloth for you."
Having something to do at home is better than the three of them quarreling.
The quarrel gave her a headache.
Mu Fei frowned slightly, "Or I'd better go out and pick some more flowers."
Just leave a small portion there for seeding.
"You're not allowed to go. Why are you going out of town in this weather?"
Yu He's expression suddenly turned cold and he said, "If you want to pick flowers, then leave the city. You can live outside these days."
So that she won’t feel upset.
Seeing that she was angry, Mu Fei hurried to coax her, "Okay, Ah He, I won't leave the city, don't be angry."
Yu He snorted coldly and said, "I'm hungry, go make me something delicious."
Mu Fei quickly agreed, knowing that as a female she was giving him a way out. If he didn't comply, she would really get angry.
"Mother is mighty."
As soon as Mu Fei left, Bai Qing said to his mother with a smile.
He was not afraid of Yu He's cold face. Although he didn't know how to coax his mother, she usually wouldn't lose her temper with him unless she was in a really bad mood or he had caused a big disaster.
On the contrary, mother gets angry with father and Mu Fei a lot.
But my father would use his body to make my mother shut up, and then my mother would get up very late the next day. In the afternoon, I could see my mother turning into a calico cat and chasing my father around the house, throwing a tantrum. Then my father would wait until my mother was tired, and then he would hold her and feed her mouthful by mouthful.
When it comes to Mu Fei, it is a sign of weakness, and my mother is most susceptible to Mu Fei's tricks.
Especially if Mu Fei showed her ears and tail and let her mother touch them, no matter how angry her mother was, she would calm down by holding Mu Fei's tail in her hand.
If Mu Fei acted more pitiful, not only would his mother not be angry with him, she would even be the one to coax Mu Fei.
Yu He glared at him lightly and said, "What's so great about you? Go and have fun by yourself."
What fun could he have by himself?
Bai Qing smiled and saw his mother sitting down. He then gave a wink to his two younger sisters and then moved closer to his mother.
"Mom, we want you to draw something..."
