Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 249 It’s cloudy, collect firewood

The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao also took a piece of amber walnut each and tasted it carefully.

"Not bad, especially crispy, and sweet but not greasy. Instead, it tastes fragrant. It's quite delicious." Grandpa Zhao praised.

"Hmm, delicious." The Taoist priest commented briefly and then took another piece to eat. It can be seen that he really likes to eat this amber walnut.

"Then I'll put this in a sealed jar in the kitchen, and you can take it when you want to eat it."

After Xu Han finished speaking, he put the amber walnuts he had just made into a sealed jar and left a little for everyone to share.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so a few people got together and played mahjong in the yard, while Mu'er played with her toys in the yard.

Seeing that the adults were busy and it was boring for her to watch, Mu'er behaved well and didn't disturb them, just playing with her toys.

When she wanted to go to the toilet, she would pull Lu Chuan's hand and indicate that she wanted to pee.

Xu Han was very satisfied with this. Since Mu'er was a child, Xu Han had paid special attention to this.

Whenever Mu'er wanted to urinate or defecate, he would cry, and Xu Han would slowly teach him to express his needs.

But the little child could not control himself. He would pee whenever he wanted and often wet his pants. After Mu'er could walk, his control in this regard improved a lot.

But there are times when she can't control herself. As she grows older, Muer rarely wets her pants during the day, but that is no longer the case at night, and she often wets the bed.

I have to say that Mu'er is really a very worry-free child. As a first-time mother, Xu Han feels very relieved.

For dinner, they still had the food from the space. "When will it rain? I'm tired of eating these dishes recently." The Taoist said with despair.

"Just be content! You still have food to eat now! Look at how many people have no food to eat, and you are still not satisfied and are making trouble." Grandpa Zhao said contemptuously.

"The reason you eat these dishes every day now is because you were picky about food before and only ate what you liked. Now look! These are the only dishes left in the space. Hahahaha." Xu Han said without giving any face.

"I agree with what my wife said." Lu Chuan agreed while eating the food in his bowl.

"You are so rebellious, you little bastard, and you are blaming me. I couldn't bear to hit the girl, so how could I be reluctant to hit you?" The Taoist priest said while twisting Lu Chuan's ear.

"You just pick on an honest man like me. Why don't you talk about Grandpa Zhao?" Lu Chuan had his ears twisted, but he still retorted stubbornly.

"Hahahahahaha." Everyone laughed when they saw this.

Yunhua is not here, so Lu Chuan becomes the one who gets scolded and beaten every day. But Lu Chuan is just as stubborn as Yunhua, and he doesn't behave himself even after getting beaten every day.

However, the two of them also added a lot of joy to everyone. The family often quarreled, but their relationship was really good.

Just like this, two or three days passed, and in the blink of an eye it was already the fourth day of the New Year.

Early in the morning, when Xu Han woke up, she found that there was no sun.

You know, Xu Han likes to sleep in, especially in winter, and usually wakes up around eight o'clock.

When I wake up, I don't get up. I just keep lingering in bed until around nine o'clock, and sometimes even ten o'clock.

Xu Han got up at the same time as usual that day. Usually the sun was shining brightly, but today there was no sun, which was unusual. Could it be that it was going to rain?

Xu Han hurriedly got up from the bed, put on her clothes and went to the yard. "Is it going to rain? There is no sun today."

"It's going to rain soon! But looking at the sky, it shouldn't rain today. Although there's no sun, the sky is still quite bright." Grandpa Zhao looked up at the sky and said.

"It should be soon. I hope our wait is not in vain. The drought has lasted for three years and it's time for some rain." Lu Chuan also looked up at the sky and said.

"Let's put the firewood and other things in the woodshed first! Also put those things that can't be exposed to the rain into the house, so that you won't have time to collect them when it rains heavily." The Taoist priest arranged.

"The Taoist priest is right. Let's pack up our things first! Xiaohan, you go eat first and come see Mu'er later." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Okay, I'll go eat. Has Mu'er eaten yet?"

"Yes, I ate an egg today and drank a small bowl of rice porridge." Lu Chuan replied.

"Okay, I'll take Mu'er with me! Mu'er is a very well-behaved girl anyway." Then Xu Han took Mu'er's hand and led the child into the kitchen.

"Mu'er, come and help your mother peel eggs." Xu Han took an egg and handed it to Mu'er, saying that this was a good opportunity to train Mu'er's fine movements and hand strength.

This also prevents Mu'er from feeling bored sitting on the chair waiting for Xu Han to eat.

"Peel~" Xu Han smashed the egg in her hand and handed it to Mu'er.

Then Mu'er helped Xu Han peel the eggs very seriously, and Xu Han took this opportunity to eat the pancakes and porridge.

"Eat~" Mu'er handed the peeled eggs to Xu Han.

"Mu'er is so well behaved, great." Xu Han gave Mu'er a thumbs up.

Mu'er smiled instantly when she was praised, and even her little feet were shaking with joy.

Xu Han took the egg handed to her by Mu'er, finished it in two bites, then took Mu'er's hand and went into the yard.

Seeing Lu Chuan and others carrying firewood from outside the yard in, the Taoist priest was sawing off the tree trunks in the yard so that he could chop the firewood with an axe and stack it in the woodshed.

"Can the firewood room be emptied? Let's prepare more firewood! I guess the rain won't stop in a short time, and if it snows, it will last longer." Xu Han said.

"There's no room, so we filled up the woodshed first, then stacked them in the yard and covered them with tarpaulin."

"It rains for a long time this year! I think we'd better prepare more firewood, otherwise we won't be able to cook without firewood. Wet firewood will produce a lot of smoke." Grandpa Zhao also agreed.

"Then I'll clean out the previous woodshed! First put the things in my parents' previous room, and put firewood in the woodshed." Xu Han said.

"Okay, the room in the backyard where Yunhua lives can be cleared out to store firewood. Yunhua doesn't live there now anyway." said the Taoist priest.

"That's fine too. Yunhua and the others probably won't be back this year, so we can just burn the firewood in his house first."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she began to clean up the space, and then let Mu'er play with toys in the yard by herself. The Taoist priest was in the yard anyway!

Mu'er is quite well-behaved and will definitely not run around, so there shouldn't be any problem.
