When Song Zhenyu arrived home, his three children quickly gathered around him. They eagerly helped steady the basket on his back and assisted with unloading the grain.
The warmth and coziness of their small family swiftly swept away Song Zhenyu’s sorrow.
– After storing all the grains, Song Zhenyu went inside.
Seeing Zhang Yingyue diligently working on a quilt, Song Zhenyu smiled and said, “Yingyue, as soon as I got to the city today, I went straight to the Shen residence. I didn’t think they’d be able to buy everything. but to my surprise, they bought it all at once. We were really lucky. I’ve brought back both the grain and vegetable seeds. I’ll go sow the seeds in a bit
”
Song Zhenyu was delighted to share his joy with Zhang Yingyue. Seeing the sparkling light in Zhang Yingyue’s eyes, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction
Zhang Yingyue chuckled. “That’s fantastic.”
She had let go of her fears, no longer afraid of the impending winter.
Song Zhenyu retrieved a paper bag from his embrace and called to his children, “Come here, kids. I’ve brought back some candies for you today,”
Song Tianqi and Song Tianheng instantly perked up, their mouths watering in anticipation “heir faces lit up with eager delight.
There were twelve pieces of candy in total, each only about the size of a child’s half–finger.
Song Zhenyu handed two pieces to Zhang Yingyue, then passed the rest to Song Ruying. “There are ten pieces left, three for each of you. The extra one is for Ruying.”
Song Tianqi and Song Tianheng had no objections. They were never greedy. After receiving a piece of candy from Song Ruying, they stopped eyeing the paper bag.
Zhang Yingyue placed a piece of candy in her mouth, then picked up another to offer to Song Zhenyu. “Zhenyu, this is for you. Let’s cach have one and share the sweetness together.”
Song Zhenyu looked into Zhang Yingyue’s hopeful and affectionate eyes, finding himself unable to refuse her. Without a word, he accepted and ate the candy she offered.
The sweet taste instantly filled every corner of his mouth.
Seeing his family laughing, Song Zhenyu also broke into a smile.
In the afternoon, Song Zhenyu went out to sow the vegetable seeds in the field.
The barren land was covered with only a layer of plant ash, making him wonder if the crops that grew would even be any good.
After planting the seeds, Song Zhenyu proceeded to fetch water for irrigation.
He didn’t ask the three children for help with this matte.

Song Tianqi, Song Tianheng, and Song Ruying spent their time in the yard pulling grass and catching bugs, feeding the chickens and rabbits, or amusing themselves by playing with stones in the courtyard.
Whenever Song Zhenyu felt tired, he would take a break and watch his three children laughing joyfully.
By the time dusk fell, every household in the village had smoke rising from their chimneys. Song Zhenyu returned home to prepare dinner.
The days continued in their usual rhythm. By early September, Song Zhenyu began taking his two sons into the mountains daily to chop wood. Eventually, they filled their courtyard to the brim.

Over these ten days, a considerable amount of game was captured and, as per usual, all were taken care of.
On the twelfth of September, Zhang Yingyue had completed her confinement period. She was insistent on not spending another moment in bed.
The sun was shining brightly that day. Zhang Yingyue had bundled Song Shuying up warmly and said, “Zhenyu, I’m feeling much better now. You mentioned there’s not much work to do at home. I can help with the laundry and cooking. It won’t tire me out.”
Unable to resist her, Song Zhenyu could only yield to her wishes.
Zhang Yingyue took Song Shuying out to bask in the sun, marking Song Shuying’s first venture outdoors
The world was bright and clear. As soon as Zhang Yingyue stepped outside, she tucked Song Shuying into Song Zhenyu’s arms.
Song Zhenyu carried Song Shuying carefully, while Zhang Yingyue headed straight to the chicken coop. The chicken coop, which Song Zhenyu had built to be half a person’s height, housed both chickens and rabbits.
Zhang Yingyue walked through the door and said, “I’ve been wanting to check on the hen for a while. Shes been brooding for some time, but it’s hard to tell how many chicks she’ll produce.”
A couple of days ago, the hen had started brooding and stopped laying eggs. There were a total of sixteen. eggs in the nest.
As soon as Zhang Yingyue appeared, the hen began clucking warily.
Unfazed, Zhang Yingyue reached under the hen’s wing swiftly lifting it. Then, she began to inspect the
eggs.
The sixteen eggs were all large, filling up the entire nest. After examining just two or three, Zhang Yingyue said, “Zhenyu, this batch of eggs is pretty good. We should be able to get around twelve or thirteen chicks from them.”
Song Zhenyu smiled. “You can relax now, can’t you?”
Zhang Yingyue gave an embarrassed chuckle. “Yes.”
The rooster and hen had grown significantly, both lively and healthy. Even while the hen was brooding, she never went hungry..

saw Zhang Yingyue stepping out of the house. Their faces lit up with joy as they raced toward her and wrapped their arms around her in a warm embrace. “Mom, Mom.”
Zhang Yingyue ran her fingers through their hair. “You are all wonderful kids.”
The three siblings were delighted to hear that.
“You’ve grown taller, and you seem more spirited.“–
Zhang Yingyue’s gaze was tender. In the past, when she stroked her children’s hair, it had always been dry and straw–like. But now, as she ran her fingers through their hair, it felt smooth.
She took a careful look at the three children. Song Tiangi and Song Tianheng still had faces full of innocence, oblivious to the ways of the world. They were playfully clinging to her hand, their complexions notably healthier than before.
Song Ruying had gained a bit of weight, and her complexion no longer had a yellowish tinge. Instead, it had gradually become fairer. Her oval face and large eyes were quite attractive.
How wonderful!
“Zhenyu, you’ve worked hard.”
Zhang Yingyue looked at Song Zhenyu. His complexion had darkened significantly, making him appear much the same as before, Over the past month, he had been the one who suffered the most.
Song Zhenyu chuckled. “It’s nothing. Come, let me show you the results of our hard work. I’ve got everything planned. Once I’ve enclosed the yard, I’ll take Tiangi and Tianheng to set more traps. We’ll try to catch as much as we can before the heavy snow comes, so we can sell them off.”
The courtyard of the straw hut spanned around six hundred square meters. Once it was tidied up and enclosed, and a small shed was built to store firewood, the remaining space could be used for drying grains
“All right.”
Zhang Yingyue’s eyes were slightly reddened as she toured the house alongside Song Zhenyu.
At the back of the house, Song Zhenyu had sectioned off a small area to raise wild chickens and rabbits. The turtledoves he’d captured were kept in a cage.
The courtyard was piled high with firewood, enough to keep them warm throughout the winter.
Enclosing the small courtyard would make their humble home look complete.
As she watched her three joyful children, a resolute thought emerged within Zhang Yingyue. She was determined to protect their home alongside Song Zhenyu
In the evening, Zhang Yingyue helped with the cooking
Her approach was similar to Song Zhenyu’s, preparing ice and ground corn on the cob, followed by a pot of dried vegetable soup to accompany it.

Even if the dried vegetables weren’t particularly tasty, they were still a rare treat. Both Zhang Yingyue and

Zhang Yingyue assisted Song Zhenyu in enclosing the courtyard, which left the task of caring for Song Shuying to Song Ruying.
Song Ruying held Song Shuying in her arms, unable to resist showering her with kisses. “Shuying, you smell so good.
Song Ruying noticed a faint, pleasant scent wafting from Song Shuying. Zhang Yingyue said it was the smell of milk. Song Kuying didn’t understand what it meant. She just knew it smelled really good.
Song Shuying wished for Song Ruying to accompany her as she would carry her around the house. This was far more comfortable than just staying in the room
Song Shuying, who was not one for tears and tantrums, started to make a fuss..
