Beginning Backpack [Farming]

It has been five years since that thrilling beast horde, freed from the sword hanging above their heads, the Great River Tribe has been able to live and work in peace and prosperity in this familiar land.

After satisfying material needs, intelligent creatures are more eager for spiritual civilization, and Shen Huaijin is no exception.In the past two years, he has gradually introduced the concept of Spring Festival into the hearts of tribal members, leading everyone to celebrate the festival of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Today, the first day of Xuerong, will be his first Spring Festival in the Beastman Continent.

For this important festival, he made preparations in advance.

a few days ago.

"Hurry up!"

Shen Huaijin urged, he wrapped his hair, nose and mouth with a cloth, took a duster, and hurriedly swept the dust, even the gaps in the windows.

The orc hurriedly took the duster in his hand, stretched out his hand, and swept some dust off the corners of the roof.

The dust was flying, and Li couldn't help coughing. He quickly fetched the cloth beside him, covered his mouth and nose as well, and said muffledly, "I didn't expect our house to be really dirty."

Shen Huaijin let out a "bad" sound, "These places that I usually don't notice must be a bit dirty, and I have to pick a time to clean them up throughout the year. Only when the house is cleaned can we welcome the New Year."

Although the courtyard they entered was not that big, it was well-equipped with all internal organs and many corners. Naturally, there were places that would not be cleaned normally.

The two teamed up, first went to each room to ventilate and dust, then wiped the place with a damp cloth, Shen Huaijin followed behind him, and went through it again with a dry cloth.

The stove in the kitchen, the windows in the hall, under the bed in the corner, and the pillars and beams of the house were all cleaned up spotlessly.

After finishing her work, Shen Huaijin took off her turban and sat on the threshold with Li to rest.

The courtyard is full of snow, and only a stone road leading to the courtyard gate has been swept clean.

"Jin! Jin!"

There was a cub's voice outside the courtyard, and after opening the door, Ling and Ji ran into his arms like birds throwing themselves into a forest, knocking Shen Huaijin into a stagger.

Afterwards, Li, who came over, supported him from behind, and then lifted Ling and Ji up with one cub in each hand, and put them aside.

The two cubs didn't care about the bright disgust in Li's eyes, they squeezed next to Shen Huaijin again, and said coquettishly: "Jin, you said before that you would take us to make window grilles, so we came to you!"

"Okay." With a smile on Shen Huaijin's face, he took two little hands, one left and one right, "Come on, let's go into the house."

He took the cubs to the bedroom and led them onto the kang, and the cubs went straight inside.The kang was burning hot, and it was very warm and comfortable as soon as I sat on it.

Shen Huaijin took out the materials he had prepared earlier in the morning. The white paper with the pattern drawn and the blank red paper were sewn together at the four corners. He also took out a knife and distributed them to the two children, including himself.

Everyone sat around the low table on the kang, used wooden boards as a base, and then carefully carved lines on the white paper with a knife.

The red paper and the white paper were carved into the picture case at the same time, and Shen Huaijin finished it the fastest. He lifted the window grille and was illuminated by the sun through the window.

Ling exclaimed excitedly, "It's baaaa!"

"Yes, Ling and Ji, hurry up and see what yours are."

The cubs immediately speeded up, and finally completed their first work before Shen Huaijin carved the second window grille.

"I made a beautiful bird!"

"I... what I did was one word!"

Shen Huaijin rubbed their heads one by one, and then asked, "Ji, tell me what character you carved out?"

Ji sniffed and smiled at him, "Jin, I forgot."

Shen Huaijin patted his forehead helplessly, without much entanglement, hugged the two cubs in her arms, and told the story of Nian Beast.

The tall silver-haired orcs wanted to come and listen to each other, but Shen Huaijin glared at them, and then sat back aggrievedly and continued to carve window grilles, carving all kinds of flowers, birds, fish and insects.

The cubs are full of interest, and only one window grille can't satisfy them.Shen Huaijin boiled a pot of syrup, took a clean glass, and drew sugar paintings on it.

The syrup solidified as soon as it touched the cold glass, Shen Huaijin drew a small flower, and then gave the syrup to the two cubs, letting them play freely.

Ling drew a cute bird according to the window grille just now. Ji seemed to want to write, but his skills were not good enough. In the end, the syrup became a mess, and the prototype could not be seen.

Ji looked at Shen Huaijin with a mournful face. The latter just thought it was funny, held Ji's hand, and poured out a beautiful "Fu" character in an upright manner.

They made a lot of weird sugar paintings one after another, and Shen Huaijin let the cubs eat a small part, and put the rest on straw sticks, and waited for New Year's Eve to share with everyone, making it a lively event.

They set the day when the snow first melted as the Spring Festival, and now that the end of the new year is approaching, under the subtle influence of Shen Huaijin, the tribe became lively.

Everyone agreed to have a New Year's Eve dinner together. The Asian beasts were busy cooking, while the orcs were clearing the snow on the square and setting up a table.

The original square was transformed into a cultural square, where all kinds of cultural and entertainment activities are usually held here, but this time everyone set up a shadow play stage.

The cubs were running around in the square, playing with the remaining snow, Shen Huaijin grabbed one or two at random, and handed out the red envelopes he had titled one by one.

"Thank you Jin!"

Everyone acted like a baby to Shen Huaijin in a childlike voice, making the latter "unbearable to disturb", patted the buttocks of the cubs, and let them play by themselves.

When there was only one red envelope left, Shen Huaijin looked around and found Feng who was setting up the table.

He is no longer the thin and thin person he was when he was young, and the beast body in adulthood is tall and strong, which is far beyond Shen Huaijin's comparison.His shiny blond hair was tied into a small knot at the back of his head, just like Shen Huaijin when we first met.

Shen Huaijin gently tugged at his ponytail, and the latter immediately turned his head impatiently. His facial features were cold and sharp, and his frowning made it even more unreasonable.Seeing the person coming, his face softened.

"What's wrong, Jin?"

Shen Huaijin handed the red envelope in front of him, "Remember to put the lucky money under your pillow tonight, and wish you a safe and secure new year."

The wind didn't pick up, and he stood upright, "I'm not a brat anymore."

Shen Huaijin still remembered the thinness and embarrassment when we met Fengchu and the embarrassment when we saw each other. He tapped the tall orc's forehead lightly with a red envelope, and said with a smile: "In my eyes, you are still a bastard, accept it quickly, or I will be unhappy gone."

Feng muttered, and finally took the red envelope under Shen Huaijin's threatening expression.His skin was dark, and although his face was expressionless, his earlobes were quietly stained a little red.

Shen Huaijin saw it, but smiled and said nothing.

Unknowingly, at night, the snow in the square was completely cleared, and the New Year's Eve dinner was also served.

The population of the tribe has increased a lot, and there are more than [-] Everbright round tables. When everyone sits together, even though the temperature outside the house is cold and the wind blows occasionally, they feel warm and at ease.

There are fish, meat, and fresh vegetables for the New Year’s Eve dinner, as well as preserved meat and ham. The staple food includes rice and steamed buns, and everyone can choose by themselves.

Li sat on Shen Huaijin's left, and Feng sat on his right. The two orcs spread their enthusiasm to him all the time, and the New Year's Eve dinner outside was satisfying and comfortable.

After the meal, there were entertainment activities, and everyone played a shadow play.The story was created by several sub-beasts in the tribe. It tells the story of everyone fighting against the beast tide. Encouraged by Shen Huaijin, the sub-beasts decided to put it on the stage and act it out.

The leftovers have been collected, and all kinds of new year's goods are placed on the table, including pumpkin seeds, fried chestnuts, dried meat and candies. Everyone eats and watches the show with great relish.

Although the stage is open-air, everyone is wearing cotton clothes and sweaters, and they are not as afraid of the cold as before. The orcs consciously hug their partners and pass on their warm body temperature.

Shen Huaijin was different. Although his physique had improved a lot, he still couldn't resist being frozen for a long time. After watching it for a while, he went back to the room after getting addicted.

Neither of them has a lively personality, so it would be more appropriate to watch the new year alone.

Shen Huaijin sat in the hall, looking at the blue-black sky through the window, babbling about the past, Li hugged him from behind, and listened quietly.

It was almost time, and Shen Huaijin went to order another small pot of dumplings. The chubby, white and tender dumplings floated in the hot soup, and Shen Huaijin fished them out in one fell swoop.

The dumplings stuffed with cabbage and meat are satisfying and not greasy, and the filling is full of juice and water. One bite is full of happiness.

"Good luck."

The two "clinked glasses" with dumplings.

After eating the hot dumplings, people also warmed up, the two of them washed up a bit, and then got on the kang, with Shen Huaijin pillowed on the inner neck, and the two of them watched He Xinchun's movie together.

Amidst the cheers from the square, Shen Huaijin fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by crackling firecrackers.

Put on the house and open the door, only to see the light outside the house, and the boys on the other side are already having fun with the firecrackers made by Shen Huaijin.

Li followed him out and covered him with another thick coat.

Shen Huaijin squinted her eyes, feeling a little dazed.

There is a small courtyard behind him, the doors and windows are covered with various window grilles, and red bamboo lanterns are hung on the courtyard door; in the distance is a large area of ​​farmland covered with thin snow, waiting for a new round of sowing and harvest; Qiao rushed towards him, shouting congratulations in a childish voice.

Shen Huaijin looked at Li, his eyelashes were rendered golden and warm by the morning light, his eyes contained the vast forest sea and the sparkling green lake, but when he looked at himself, he was always gentle.

Shen Huaijin heard her own voice with a smile.

"Happy New Year."

The author has something to say: Happy New Year, I am so glad to meet all readers and friends. I will share my encouragement with you in the new year and wish everyone good luck as scheduled.
