Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 216 Yunhua Sends a Message

"It's good that you know. I just feel very uncomfortable. I know you care about me a lot, but I really feel a lot of pressure when you protect me like this.

"From now on, everything will be the same as before. If I have any problems, I will come to you. You are my husband, who else can I go to?" Xu Han said with a smile.

"Well! Good wife." Hearing this, Lu Chuan also laughed.

In fact, it is just a very small matter. It will be nothing if everyone talks about it.

However, Xu Han also thought of a problem. Pregnant women really should not be provoked. Their emotions are very unstable. Xu Han knew that Lu Chuan was doing this for her own good, but she felt inexplicably angry in her heart.

Maybe she feels that Lu Chuan only cares about the child and doesn’t love her!

After all, Lu Chuan had never protected Xu Han like this before. Now that she was pregnant, he cherished her so much. Xu Han couldn't help but have the wrong idea. She felt that Lu Chuan only cared about the child and not herself.

After the two of them talked it out, nothing happened and the days passed one by one.

In the blink of an eye, it was already April. During this period, there was no change in Xu Han's health. She continued to do what she was supposed to do. Except for occasionally feeling a poor appetite, there was no other reaction.

In the past month, the backyard has been basically completed and the house is now ready for living.

During this month, not only were all the bluestone slabs inside the house and outside the yard laid, but the walls were also painted white with lime, making the house look much brighter.

Now only some cabinets, desks, chairs and other things are left to be completed, which were also made by Lu Chuan and Taoist Priest Zhao Grandpa together.

During this period of time, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao learned a lot of hands-on things from Lu Chuanke, from building houses at the beginning to making furniture now. They all enjoyed what they did and were completely immersed in it.

Watching the house I built slowly being completed and then gradually filled with furniture gives me a great sense of accomplishment.

One day, when everyone in the backyard was arguing about what shape of desk to make, a pigeon suddenly flew over.

The Taoist priest looked carefully and saw that it was indeed the carrier pigeon sent by his apprentice, so he quickly took off the letter tied to the pigeon's feet.

"Is it Yunhua and the others? Did anything happen to them?" Grandpa Zhao asked nervously.

After the Taoist priest opened the letter and took a look at it, he handed it to Grandpa Zhao.

"These two children have been gone for more than half a year and there has been no letter from them. Suddenly a letter came back. I thought something had happened! I was scared to death." Grandpa Zhao complained.

Xu Han asked curiously, "What did Yunhua say in the letter? Are they okay?"

"They don't have anything to do, they just want to report that you are safe and ask if you are pregnant. They are waiting to come back!" said the Taoist priest.

Hearing this, Xu Han blushed and said, "Where are they now? Are they doing well?"

"They are fine, but the situation outside is not very good right now. Many disaster victims have already fled the famine, and the world is about to become chaotic," said Grandpa Zhao.

"We haven't been down the mountain for a long time. How about we go down and take a look at the situation? It happens that the tung oil at home is running out. Why don't we go to the county town to buy some! And take a look at the situation down the mountain at the same time." Lu Chuan suggested.

"It's time to go down the mountain, but not now. Let's wait a few days before going," said the Taoist priest.

"Okay, I'll just make all the furniture at home during these few days, and then make a shopping list to see if there's anything else I need to buy. I'll buy them all at once, as it may be difficult to go into the city later.

Even if you go in and want to buy something, it's all sold out." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Well! Then let's deal with the family matters in the next few days!" Xu Han also said.

"What exactly should this desk be made into?" Lu Chuan continued to ask.

The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao still refused to give in. Finally, Xu Han said directly, "Then each of you can make a desk. There is plenty of wood anyway. Stop fighting like children."

Everyone was very happy to hear that, except Lu Chuan who had a bitter face. Well, there was one more thing to do.

I'll add one later. How long will it take to finish this? Fortunately, there is no rush to use it, otherwise Lu Chuan will definitely be driven crazy.

There is no way. My wife has spoken, so I have to do it!

But fortunately, there are still two free laborers! It would be a waste not to use them, and I am not the only one who is tired anyway.

Thinking this in his mind, he gave orders without any hesitation.

Some were planing wood, some were sawing wood, and everyone started to get busy again.

Xu Han went to the backyard alone. The vegetables she planted last time had grown very big. If they were not picked, they would slowly become old.

Xu Han took a large backpack and a small stool and went to the vegetable garden.

Use a knife to cut the green vegetables, and then break off the old leaves so that you can feed them to the chickens later.

The processed vegetables are neatly stacked in a backpack and then tied up with hemp rope when returned to the house. People eat one bundle at a time, which makes it easy to carry and put away.

It took Xu Han a whole morning to finally harvest all the vegetables. She went to the water tank and washed a handful of vegetables so that she could stir-fry them later.

The water in the water tank in the backyard is getting less and less, and the water pipe is about to run dry again.

Sometimes it takes a whole night for half a tank of water to flow out, and it still can't be filled up.

The water will be used up during daily use during the day, and then continue to be filled with water at night.

We will have to go to the waterfall to fetch water in a few days. The current water is just enough for daily use. Sometimes it is not enough even if we have to wash too many things!

The creek in front of the house had long dried up and cracked, and no longer looked the same as before.

After washing the vegetables, Xu Han returned to the kitchen and started kneading the dough. The weather was too hot today and she couldn't eat anything else, so she decided to make some cold noodles!

After it’s done, put it in ice cubes for a while and eat it cool, which will relieve heat and stimulate appetite.

Cold noodles have been made many times, and Xu Han is quite good at it. She can make it by herself without the help of Grandpa Zhao to light the fire.

After it’s done, put it in ice cubes for a while so it’s just in time for lunch.

The weather is getting warmer now, and around 11 o'clock in the morning everyone stopped working.

After finishing lunch early, it was time for another nap. When the weather was cool in the evening, I would stay in the yard for a while, enjoying the evening breeze and the cool air. Life was quite comfortable.

Every time at this time, Xu Han would make some snacks which would come in handy. A lot of snacks have been consumed during this period of time, so it seems that she needs to take some time to make some more.
