Without wool, Xu Hui rubbed the yarn together to make a thicker piece of cotton. She split the chopsticks to make a needle for the sweater and started to knit the gloves.

She had learned to weave scarves for her boyfriend when she was in school. She had never knitted gloves, not even the five fingers she wanted to weave were exposed. With a lid on the back of the gloves, she would buckle it when she didn't need it.

The idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel. At first, Xu Hui thought it was smooth, but when she had to split her fingers, she encountered difficulties. She took apart the fabric and started thinking about it. After a few failures, Xu Hui finally understood. She rewound the cotton thread and spent a day knitting a pair of relatively perfect gloves for Niuniu.

Niu Niu was especially interested in these gloves that she had never seen before. She took off the top of the gloves' lid, opened it and covered it again. She was happy to be able to play with them alone.

Xu Hui was very happy to see Niu Niu like this. She saw her wearing gloves and showing off in the blink of an eye. She could not help but laugh. Compared to the first time he saw her, this kid was much more cheerful!

Unexpectedly, Niu Niu's actions not only attracted Xiao Xiuer and Zhang Clan, but also attracted the He's!

Xiao Xiuer and Zhang Shi saw that Niu Niu's gloves were very flexible and comfortable, so they wanted to learn how to weave gloves from Xu Hui, and wanted to weave a pair for their own family. Xu Hui was naturally willing to teach them.

On the other hand, He's did not hold back and told Xu Hui to weave one for Xiao Hu and the rest. Xu Hui was furious when she heard this, Xiao Li's disease had suffered from a headache these past few days and was safe, but there was also the annoying He's, where did she get the confidence to make things for her family?

Xu Hui said bluntly, ”Aunt San told me that I shouldn't have refused, but I don't have a nephew who isn't at home either. How would I dare to steal your job?”

He's was choked with anger as she glared at Xu Hui. Xu Hui did not even look at her as she lowered her head and continued to talk about the needlework of gloves with Xiao Xiuer. Seeing that they did not see him, She's scolded him, and did not give up. He looked around, but found nothing good on the table, the big lock on the cupboard seemed to be mocking him, she could not help but angrily slam the door and leave, threatening to report to Xiao Li's disease.

Mrs Zhang worriedly looked at Xu Hui, but she did not mind at all. She chuckled and continued to talk with Xiao Xiuer and Mrs Zhang.

Xiao Xiuer looked at Xu Hui in admiration. This sister-in-law was not as old as he was, but she had her own ways and means. If his brother was not at home, she could protect him and Niu Niu from being bullied.

Xu Hui did not know what Xiao Xiuer was thinking. She was worried that the sky was already so cold, so why was Xiao Da Yong not coming back yet? On the other hand, she was wondering if this glove could be considered a novelty. Could she develop some business opportunities?

However, a few days later, Xu Hui looked at the gloves that Zhang Shi and Xiao Xiuer had knitted, especially when Xiao Xiuer had researched and developed a new needle technique. She immediately gave up on this idea.

Xiao Xiuer was extremely interested in weaving, so after asking Xu Hui for her permission, she happily shared it with the little sisters in the village. The cotton thread was not rare in the village, it could be weaved with just two thin wooden sticks. The girls and wives in the village were all very interested, Xiao Xiuer's original reputation was also affected by the annulment of the marriage, and because she had selflessly taught everyone how to fix the needles, she had recovered a lot.

Although he did not plan to make money by knitting gloves and sweaters, Xu Hui still knitted a pair of woolen pants for himself and Niu Niu Xiao. Wearing cotton clothes was much warmer than just wearing cotton clothes.

It got colder and colder as he watched the ice in the water jar get thicker and colder. Xu Hui was worried that if the ice froze into ice, she wouldn't be able to use water anymore and hurriedly got Xiao He to help her move the water jar to the house. The room was burning on a brick bed, which was much warmer than the outside.

This morning, Xu Hui woke up feeling especially gloomy.

He put the breakfast on the stove. It was already cold and there were only two people in his house. Xu Hui and Niu Niu ate on the kitchen stove without having to carry it back and forth.

Xu Hui opened the kitchen door to look for Niu Niu, but saw Niu Niu standing by the door with her arms stretched out to look at the sky. When she saw Xu Hui, she shouted excitedly, ”Sister-in-law, look! It's snowing!”

Xu Hui saw that it was indeed snowing. It was not a group of snowflakes, but snowflakes. The snowflakes were very thin and dense, like salt that had been sprinkled from the sky. Soon, the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow.

Xu Hui felt even colder. She had never lived in the north before. Even though she was wearing thick clothes, the temperature made her want to hug the brazier and not let go. After taking a look, she quickly called Niuniu into the kitchen.

After breakfast, Xu Hui cleaned up the dishes and Niu Niu came over to help. Looking at the red color of Niu Niu's small hands, Xu Hui could not help but ask Niu Niu, ”Niu Niu, are you cold?”

”It's cold!”

”Then don't always go out to play, stay with sister-in-law in cellar room. There's a charcoal brazier there, it's warm.” The majority of cellar room were underground. It was warm in the winter and cold in the summer, but other than being a little damp from it, it was actually very suitable for humans to live in.

”No, Big Sister Hua'er is bringing me to see the slaughter pigs today!”

Slaughtering pigs was a very lively and fun thing for the children in the village. After winter fell, all the villagers were free, and there were many traditional festivals in the winter.

When someone was about to slaughter a pig, the children in the village would all run over to watch the show. Pig butchering was one of the reasons, but the more important reason was to get pig urine bubbles. This was also what Niuniu coveted the most.
