After breakfast, Felix Thorne headed out to work, and his three brothers went along to help. They had to rush to three jobs today. Once the spring planting season began, farmers would be too busy for celebrations, so everyone was rushing to hold their events now. During this time, it was common for Felix to handle two or three jobs in a single day.
He could easily butcher a pig by himself, but he needed his sons' help when rushing between two or three jobs. However, Felix Thorne was adamant that his sons would not follow in his footsteps. This bloody trade was his burden to bear alone; he couldn't let it taint his sons as well.
Only Phoebe Huxley and Tang Xiaonan remained at home. Phoebe started frying slices of rice cake. The batch they'd made for the New Year was already gone. When it came to food, Phoebe had always been generous, never pinching pennies.
