Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 410 Lovely Glutinous Rice Balls

Hearing this, Yun Hua instantly had a bitter face and whispered to himself, "Master, can you stay for a few more days?"

The Taoist priest rejected it coldly and ruthlessly, "What do you think?"

Seeing the Taoist priest's expression, Yunhua knew there was no room for negotiation.

Well, I have been here for nearly twenty days this time, and my master actually asked me to leave after the Lantern Festival. He was already very kind. I can’t go too far.

Besides, there are indeed other things to do, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the capital, so I can't stay here any longer.

Seeing that the Taoist priest agreed, Zhao Yunyun looked at her grandfather's face and said cautiously, "Then I will go with you the day after tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Zhao was very easy to talk to. "Hahaha, okay, you two can go back together. I'll let Xiaochuan take you down together, so you don't have to make two trips."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded and agreed.

Xu Han looked at everyone and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's all go to bed early."

Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed.

The next day, the morning sun was always particularly dazzling. Xu Han pushed open the door, slowly walked out of the house, stretched, and thought to herself, "Today's weather is really good. The sun is particularly comfortable on my body."

Lu Chuan carried Ze'er to Xu Han and said, "There's breakfast in the pot. We moved all the bridge materials to the creek this morning. Now that Yunhua is still at home and the sun is strong at noon, the water is not too cold, so we'll install the bridge together."

Xu Han took Ze'er from Lu Chuan's arms and kissed him. "Okay, you guys can do whatever you want. They're leaving tomorrow, so I won't be here to watch you install the bridge. Pack up your things so I can take them away tomorrow."

"Well, have breakfast first."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he went to the backyard. Xu Han carried Ze'er to the kitchen to have breakfast.

The customs of the Lantern Festival are the same. The difference from previous years is that this year the dumplings were made by everyone together. Because there were so many people, Xu Han made several different flavors.

Zhao Yunyun rolled the glutinous rice balls in her hand with an innocent look on her face. “Hahaha, this is my first time making glutinous rice balls by myself! Sister Xiaohan, look at how mine turned out. Isn’t it cute?”

Xu Han looked at the animal-shaped dumplings in Zhao Yunyun's hand and praised them generously, "They look good and are especially cute."

For today’s glutinous rice dumplings, Xu Han added some fruit and vegetable powder into them, which made them look very colorful.

Everyone sat together to make dumplings. In order to make this activity more interesting, Xu Han also taught everyone how to make dumplings in various shapes.

There are peanut, persimmon shapes, and some other cute animal shapes.

The two children were the happiest when seeing these cute dumplings. They kept saying that they wanted to eat as many as they could.

Ze'er was even more straightforward. He directly picked up a persimmon-shaped glutinous rice ball that Xu Han had just wrapped and tried to stuff it into his mouth when no one was paying attention. If Yunhua hadn't seen it, the little guy would probably have eaten it raw.

Yunhua patiently coaxed, "Be good, Ze'er, this is raw and you can't eat it yet. Let your mother cook it for you later, okay?"

Ze'er is so young and can't understand everything. He holds the persimmon dumplings in his hand tightly and refuses to let go.

Yunhua had no choice but to follow him. In the end, the cute persimmon glutinous rice ball was squeezed into an orange dough by Ze'er.

Ze'er was not giving up and wanted to try it, so he took a bite when no one was paying attention and then spit it out.

The Taoist priest first saw Ze'er's bitter expression, and he stomped his feet and laughed without any image.

Lu Chuan walked up to Ze'er helplessly and took the raw glutinous rice balls out of his mouth. "I told you but you didn't listen. Is this edible?"

Xu Han didn't indulge him. She looked at Ze'er without saying anything, and didn't even say a word of comfort.

Ze'er looked at Yunhua resentfully, but he still didn't give up. He wanted to get a new dumpling when no one was paying attention.

I thought to myself, "It's all this uncle's fault. The persimmon in my hand must have been squashed, so it doesn't taste good."

However, before Ze'er could make another move, he was carried away by Yunhua. The two of them started playing and soon forgot about taking the dumplings.

With one naughty boy gone, the group made the dumplings faster.

Apart from the round dumplings made by the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan, the other dumplings laid out are quite pleasing to the eye.

Xu Han patted the flour on her hands and said, "This should be enough for us to eat. I'll go cook some dumplings and glutinous rice balls first. You guys continue making them. If there's not enough, I'll cook more later. The wrapped glutinous rice balls can also be frozen and eaten in a few days."

Lu Chuan also stood up and picked up the dumplings placed aside. "I'll go with you."

The two of them went into the kitchen one after the other. After eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls, Xu Han and Zhao Yunyun stayed at home to pack things to take away tomorrow.

While Xu Han was packing things, she told Zhao Yunyun, "These small jars contain all kinds of pickles. I have labeled them. Be careful when you are on your way and don't break the jars."

Zhao Yunyun smiled and replied, "Okay, I remember. We have a lot of stuff to take back this time, so Yunhua and I discussed it and decided not to ride horses. We will rent a carriage and go to the capital together. After staying in the capital for a few days, we will go to the south. We will not go to the border for the time being."

Xu Han joked, "Are you going to look for Li Lin?"

When Zhao Yunyun heard this, she looked shy like a little girl, smiled and did not refute.

"Li Lin said he would arrive in the capital on the 20th day of the first lunar month, and would pick me up to go to the south together. I also happened to be going there to collect some precious medicinal herbs, so I agreed."

Xu Han thought about it, but couldn't help asking, "Does Grandpa Zhao know?"

"Grandpa knows. I told him as soon as I got back. I only replied to Li Lin after he agreed."

Xu Han couldn't help but gossip out of curiosity, "So when are you planning to get married? Have Grandpa Zhao and Li Lin's family told you about it?"

Speaking of marriage, Zhao Yunyun's cheeks turned even redder, but she still patiently explained to Xu Han, "The Li family has mentioned it several times, but Grandpa hasn't agreed yet. He said that we can talk about it after the war is over."

Xu Han said seriously, "So what do you think?"

Zhao Yunyun thought about it seriously and said to Xu Han, "I still agree with grandpa's decision. After all, I am different from other girls.

After getting married, I can't keep running around like this. After getting married, I still have to consider the Li family. Although Li Lin said that he would not restrict my movements, being married is different from being a girl. "
