Is this a quadruple pun?

Shas has this liking for triple puns. Wondering if this will make the cut for a quadruple pun (a bit of a stretch, I admit) inspired by my daughter's question on "rain deer for Santa Claus" :

A woman was in a lonely ranch was cleaning her stable before Christmas. She was bracing herself for the change of season and fortune with the advent of the Chinese New Year. She stopped working and stared blankly for a while.

Her daughter asked, "What is it, mom?". The woman replied, "It is the rain, dear"*.

* For those who didn't get it, the variations are:
- The reindeer (that would march down her chimney)
- The rain deer (that would seek shelter in the stable)
- The reign, dear (of the Year of the Pig)

Tried to make it a quintuple with "rained ear" (or "reined ear"). Assistance will be appreciated.

    I mean I get it but only cause of the break down. Needs more info in the setup.

    There are two types of people I'm this world. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.
