Mrs. Zheng, who had come to see Shen Nanwei, had her plump body wrapped tightly in her cotton-padded jacket, turning her into a round ball.
She had a worried and distressed expression on her face.
Between her words, she kept on saying how unusually cold the weather was this year.
But when the topic shifted to the greenhouse, she began to smile and brighten up.
Winter is the time when animals hibernate, and it's also the time when hunters, like hunter Zheng, take a break. In previous years, he and his three and a half sons had nothing to do during the winter, creating a sense of idleness. This year, they were hired to work, keeping them busy all day, so at least they wouldn't be causing trouble at home.
Fresh vegetables were awarded to hardworking, rule-abiding employees as an incentive.
Eating a meal of green leafy vegetables, besides cabbage and radish, in winter - the feeling was simply refreshing.
