Chapter 333

People who have finished their work gather together in twos and threes to spread bread-like food with melted cheese for breakfast.Xia Enxue was full of praise after tasting it, and took out her own dry food that looked like clay lumps to share with everyone.Everyone tasted a bit with complicated expressions.

After the meal, the men rode out to pasture.The women were left to clean up the dishes, mend clothes and tents, and look after the children.Occasionally, they would stop what they were doing, take out their pipes under the blue sky, and take a few puffs.

When Xia Enxue was inspecting the little squirrel, she noticed that the children were looking this way from a distance.

"Come closer if you want to see it. This guy won't bite."

As soon as Xia Enxue finished speaking, the little squirrel lost her composure: "It's outrageous!...But it's true."

The children came closer cautiously.The younger one has just learned to walk, and the older one is only eleven or two years old.They looked at the little squirrel with curiosity, and started to touch it when they found it interesting.

"Wow! Hard."

"It's amazing, it's an iron horse."

"Her name is Little Squirrel." After Xia Enxue finished speaking, the children started clamoring:

"What a weird name!" "Hey!" "What a weird name!"

Aside from the innocent children and the somewhat annoyed little squirrel, Xia Enxue noticed that several of them were smoking small pipes.Take a closer look, and there is no tobacco.

"Is that the pipe you use?" Xia Enxue asked the oldest boy.

He took out his pipe and showed it to Xia Enxue: "No. It's just holding it. Only adults can smoke it. Adults work for a living, and I heard that it is a reward for them, indicating that they are independent. Only those who are recognized as adults can smoke."

"What about you?" Xia Enxue asked.

"Still practicing..." the boy whispered, and quickly pulled out the scythe from behind. "No, but! I mow the best grass of them all. And helping Mommy is the best."

"Mowing grass is a woman's job. Men who can't ride horses are not handsome."

"..."

The boy was silent, and a girl said to Xia Enxue, "I want to give birth to him. He is my husband."

"Hey...it's all settled."

"Well. It's been decided since he was born. So he has to be a bit manly, but now it's not okay." The girl nodded her head vigorously and said happily.

"Hmph, manly woman."

The boy said unwillingly, but the girl ignored him.

"He, because I ride a horse better than him, I am not reconciled."

Xia Enxue smiled bitterly: "In that case, then you can switch jobs when you live together."

The girl suddenly realized: "That's right. Just do as Xia Enxue said. I will ride the horse."

"Not good. How embarrassing for me then."

"Come on! That's it. I'm going to tell Dad right now."

"I said no."

"It's done, it's done!"

Xia Enxue watched the laughing and playing two people go away.Looking back, I saw the little squirrel still playing with the children gathered around.

The men returned at noon.After the meal, everyone takes a nap.

Later, Xia Enxue was invited to ride a horse.Xia Enxue, who had never ridden a horse, was in charge of being guided by men from the tribe.

Although Xia Enxue could only walk slowly at first, she ran very fast after getting used to it.

The adults watched Xia Enxue handle the rein gracefully, and couldn't help but click their tongues in admiration.The patriarch puffed on his pipe and said briefly, "It's settled."

The surrounding adults nodded silently, watching all this from a horse with a pair of gray eyes a little away.

It was after a smoky dinner as usual.

Xia Enxue sat next to the little squirrel in front of her tent, looking up at the sky.Clouds and mist rolled over the western horizon, and the sunset glow was dyed pitch black.

It's opening here tomorrow.

The little squirrel sighed helplessly, and then said, "Xia Enxue, the weather will be bad tomorrow."

"Yeah...but it's been three days."

"……Understood."

"Hello,"

"Wow!"

The gray-eyed man suddenly spoke up from behind, and the little squirrel screamed in fright.Xia Enxue narrowed her eyes and turned to stare at the man.
