On the grassland in winter, the two most beautiful times of the day are early morning and evening.

In the early morning, the sun jumps out of the snow field, and the sky is full of rays of light. The snow on the ground and the morning glow reflect each other, rendering red, orange, yellow, blue and purple.

The colors between heaven and earth are magnificent and brilliant, so beautiful that it is not like the world.

It snowed all night again last night. The snow on the ground was more than one meter deep.

People had to remove the door curtain in the felt bag, and then took a shovel to dredge the snow from the inside out.

Accumulated snow can completely block the door, this is the first time Ozuki has seen such a situation, she thinks it is simply incredible.

The city she lived in in her previous life was close to the sea, and every winter, God would only be so stingy that there would be a few small grains of salt.

That layer of shallow snow can't even cover up the green of the grass.

But even if it's just a few salty snowfalls, everyone will be very happy, and the school even has a holiday for the children to play in the snow.

The children carefully picked up the snowflakes and squeezed them into palm-sized snowmen.

Obscure Moon was afraid that they would melt, so she specially put the little snowmen in the freezer of the refrigerator, so that they could be preserved for a long time.

The adults are shoveling the snow sadly, but the children are having fun.

Wearing deerskin gloves, Obscure Moon and her brother Ajiu piled the shoveled snow into a big snowman.

The snowman wears a felt hat with a pair of stone eyes inlaid, a wooden nose inserted, and two broomsticks.

"Hahaha, this is the biggest snowman I've ever built."

Obscure Moon looked at the snowman who was taller than herself, and laughed.

The adults finally shoveled a snow path leading to the outside, and they were panting with exhaustion.

And Ozuki and a few children ran out to play snowball fights and snowballs in the snow, having a great time.

Xu Jingyang helped his sore waist, and looked at the children enviously.

He didn't want to have a snowball fight together, he wanted to go back to the house and sleep, but he still had a lot of work to do later.

Shoveling snow, clearing sheep pens, strengthening fences, feeding cattle and sheep to graze, and melting snow water for daily drinking, washing and bathing.

In winter, the lakes on the prairie are covered with a thick layer of ice, which is so hard that even a hammer cannot break it.

People can only boil snow water and store it in wooden barrels for daily washing and cooking.

Shen Yinxing wants to learn how to make tsampa, boil butter tea, make milk skin and milk lumps.

These are the basic skills of living on the grassland, and everyone must know them.

In order to help the Ozuki family adapt to the grassland life as soon as possible, Ge Jiamu specially brought people to teach them how to do these things.

"Master, here we come!"

Ge Jiamu was wearing a blue cotton gown, with colorful braids on his head, and walked over with several men and women.

The men carried baskets filled with dried cow dung.

Firewood is scarce on the grasslands, and dry cow dung is used as firewood for fires in winter.

Because Ozuki's family had just arrived and hadn't hoarded dry cow dung, Ge Jiamu brought someone over to bring it over.

After the men put down their baskets, they joined the snow shoveling team, while the other women stayed in their yurts to teach Shen Yinxing and other female relatives how to make tsampa and butter tea.

With the help of the men, the snow at the door was quickly cleared, and then they went to help strengthen the sheepfold.

A burly man with full beards was knocking on a wooden stake while chatting to Xu Jingyang, "That kid in your family is really good, he beat my little boy to the ground yesterday to find his teeth."

One of the two boys that Xu Laifu taught yesterday was the youngest son of this man.

Thinking that the parents came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, Xu Jingyang hurriedly said: "Ah? Our Ajiu fought with your son? Your son is not hurt, is he?"

Da Khan laughed loudly and waved his hands boldly, "Oh, it's okay, our kid has rough skin and thick flesh, he'll be fine after lying down for ten days and a half."

After Xu Jingyang heard this, he quickly apologized, but in his heart he scolded Ah Jiu for causing trouble when he first arrived.

The prairie man looked indifferent: "It's nothing, it's normal for children to fight. If they lose, they are inferior to others. He deserves it."

Seeing that the parents didn't care about it, Xu Jingyang reckoned that the matter was not serious, but he still went over and knocked Ajiu on the head, "We just came to the grassland, so we want to make a good impression on the neighbors, and we should be more gentle in beating people in the future. "

After warning his son, Xu Jingyang went back to continue repairing the sheepfold.

Ajiu suffered a violent shudder in the head for no reason, he was very puzzled, looked at Xu Jingyang's leaving back, and then rubbed his head blankly.

Ozuki also had an inexplicable expression on her face, she didn't know what her father meant when she said this.

But soon, Ozuki knew what happened yesterday.

Just when everyone was busy busy, a tall woman pulled a horse and rushed over angrily. On the horse's back lay a little boy covered in bandages all over his body.

The woman is wearing a five-color cotton gown, with many small braids on her head, and each braid is embellished with coral and dzi beads.

The woman's face is very long, with high cheekbones beside her cheekbones. From Obscure Moon's point of view, she looks a bit like a little donkey and a dog.

"Who is it! Who beat my doll like this?" The woman glared angrily, full of gunpowder.

This woman is called Zoya, she is a widow, she is usually bitter and talkative.

The people in the tribe saw that she was a widow and worked so hard to raise so many children to make a living, so they didn't like to care about her.

But the more people tolerated it, the more arrogant the woman became.

There is also a reason why women are arrogant.

Because she is very capable of giving birth, she gave birth to quintuplets in one go, and then gave birth to several twins one after another, and all of them were raised, which made the tribe look good.

Due to the small number of people in the grassland and few descendants, the population in the tribe is extremely precious, so every time a baby is born, the tribe will reward the mother with a coral headdress.

Her head full of coral is her medal.

The woman jingled her hair, then walked into the felt bag of Ozuki's house, and yelled inside: "Who beat my baby like this? Stand up!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Miyue hurried back to the felt bag, only to see the woman crying: "Look at you coming all the way to the grassland, our tribe kindly took you in, but in the end you repay your favor and turn around and kill our baby , look at beating my baby, this is so inhumane!"

The woman cried while scolding, her words were extremely harsh, and she provoked the relationship with a few words.

"In order to treat my baby, I sold all the lambs at home. If your family doesn't give me an explanation today, I won't leave!"

The woman made it clear that today she was going to make a big fuss, one was to vent her son's anger, and the other was to take the opportunity to blackmail the Xu family.

Obscure Moon glanced at the little boy on the horseback who was covered in bandages, and felt that his appearance was indeed miserable.

She poked Ajiu with her elbow, and asked with her eyes, "Brother? Did you beat him?"

Ajiu shook her head blankly, then spit out two words: "No"

Obscure Moon frowned and asked in doubt: "Ah? Who is that?"

"it's me!"

Xu Laifu came out from the felt bag opposite. He clenched his fist and pointed at himself with his thumb.

"Laifu, why are you fighting?" Shen Yinxing also came out of the felt bag, and patted Xu Laifu's head.

She knew that Laifu was an upright and kind child, and there must be a reason for such a heavy hand.

This woman is very difficult to deal with. If I don't clarify the matter today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end.

Xu Laifu was also very good at focusing. He pointed at the boy lying on the horseback and said in a startling way: "I beat him because he wanted to strip the girls naked."
