Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 295 Letter from Yunhua

I waited for another two days and finally received Yunhua's letter on February 20th.

That morning, Lu Chuan received a letter before he even went out. Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly showed it to everyone.

"What does the letter say? Open it quickly and take a look." Xu Han said impatiently.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly opened the letter and read it aloud.

The letter said that they would arrive at the foot of the mountain in ten days, and Lu Chuan would be needed to pick them up and transport the saplings back by boat.

He also said that he had been quite busy recently, so after Lu Chuan took over the saplings, he would not go into the mountains, and asked Lu Chuan to bring him some food when he went to transport the saplings.

"No wonder it took so long for Yunhua to send the saplings back. It's amazing that he still remembered this when he was so busy." After listening to the letter, Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"The date on the letter is five days ago, which means Yunhua will arrive in five days." Grandpa Zhao took the letter from Lu Chuan's hand, looked at it and said.

"Time is running out, so I'll make some more food these days and bring it for him to eat on the road." Xu Han said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I'll take Mu'er to the hillside today, you just stay busy at home." Lu Chuan said.

"Forget it, let Mu'er stay at home! Mu'er is more obedient and I can take care of her.

I've been following you to the mountains every day recently, and you've gotten tanned before summer even begins. You don't look good at all." Xu Han disagreed.

Lu Chuan looked at his eldest son and felt that he had indeed become a lot darker. He felt a little soft-hearted for a moment and agreed to Xu Han's proposal.

After Lu Chuan left, Xu Han let Mu'er play in the main room by herself, and asked Mu'er to help look after Ze'er.

"Mu'er, you can play by yourself in the house and don't do anything dangerous. If anything happens, call your mother. Do you hear me?" Xu Han warned.

"Okay, Mu'er, be obedient." Mu'er responded obediently.

"If your brother wakes up and cries, you must call mommy over. You can't hold your brother by yourself, okay? Your brother is too heavy, and you two will fall down." Xu Han kissed Mu'er's face and said.

Seeing that Mu'er agreed, Xu Han first went to the vegetable garden in the backyard and watered the seedlings that had been grown a few days ago.

I also cleaned the yard and then went back to the room to take the washed clothes and sheets to the backyard to wash them.

Xu Han felt worried when she thought about how long it would take to wash clothes.

He turned around and took Ze'er and Mu'er to the backyard to play.

It is safest to keep such a young child by your side, so you must not be careless.

"Mu'er, you just play with building blocks here. Don't run around, okay?"

Xu Han spread a straw mat on the ground, put a layer of clean leather on it, poured the building blocks on the mat and spoke to Mu'er.

"Okay, I'm going to build a big house for Mom." Mu'er said happily when she saw her mother giving her building blocks to play with.

"Okay, Mom wants a big house like ours. Can Mu'er build it?" Xu Han said as she gathered the scattered building blocks together.

"Mu'er, it's okay." Mu'er said and started to build it.

These building blocks were made by Xu Han with the help of Lu Chuan when Mu'er was a child.

They are all the simplest rectangles and squares, as well as some special-shaped blocks like triangles.

These building blocks are relatively simple, but they come in a variety of shapes. By putting these building blocks together, you can also create beautiful works.

Mu'er has been playing with these building blocks since she was a child. With Xu Han's guidance, she can now build some stylish works.

Later, after playing for a long time, I mastered a lot of building skills and was able to build my own works.

But after all, he was still young, so the works he built were not very big.

Later on, Xu Han no longer cared about him. When she didn't have time to see him, she would take out the building blocks and let him play by himself.

Sometimes he would be given a theme for his work and asked to build it according to his imagination.

When Xu Han or Lu Chuan have time, they will also play building blocks with Mu'er.

Seeing that Mu'er had already immersed herself in the building blocks, Xu Han also began to wash the pile of clothes that she had just taken out.

With more people in the family, there are more clothes, sheets, etc. to wash every time.

It takes a long time just to do the laundry every day.

Xu Han really misses the various technological products of the past, especially washing machines. It is really painful to wash clothes every day. It would be great if someone could help her wash clothes and clean the house.

But now I can only think about it. Maybe later I can really buy someone to help do these things.

But that’s all in the past. At least for now, I still have to do these things myself.

After washing the clothes, Xu Han went to the front yard to hang the clothes.

The freshly washed clothes are shaken out one by one, wrung out the water and hung on the clothes rack.

Before all the clothes were hung up, Ze'er was heard crying again. Seeing this, Xu Han quickly turned around and went to the backyard.

Ze'er is already three months old. His sleep time is getting shorter and shorter, and now he is awake for a lot of time during the day.

Despite this, Xu Han did not spoil him. When he was awake, as long as he didn't cry, she let him play by himself and didn't care about him.

If he cries, check to see if he has pooped or peed. If there is no physiological reason, just ignore him.

I will only pick him up and comfort him if he cries very hard.

At the beginning, Ze'er was not used to it, and Lu Chuan felt very distressed, but Xu Han was particularly cruel and ignored him.

Later on, Ze'er got used to it slowly and stopped crying except for physiological needs.

I realized that crying was useless, so I gradually stopped crying.

Later on, Ze'er's annoying little habit was finally corrected by Xu Han.

After changing this, taking care of him became much easier. I finally don't have to get up in the middle of the night to coax him. At least the adults can get a good rest at night.

This was finally a good result after a long period of correction, and it was worth it for Xu Han to push himself so hard.

After Xu Han finished feeding Ze'er as usual, she pushed the crib under the eaves of the front yard, moved the straw mat over, and let Mu'er play with Ze'er while she went to the kitchen to continue working.

Coming into the kitchen, Xu Han first took out some fruits from the space, washed them, and then put them on a plate and brought them out.

"Mu'er, mother washed some apricots for you. They are sweet and delicious. Come and eat them." Xu Han said vaguely while eating apricots.

"Okay, I'll go wash my hands." After saying that, he ran away quickly.

Xu Han took out the apricot kernels and put the apricot flesh aside, so that Mu'er could eat it directly later.

It is not safe for children to eat fruits with pits by themselves, so when Xu Han gives fruits to Mu'er, she will prepare them in advance before giving them to Mu'er.

"Mu'er, you can't give this to your brother. After you finish eating, take the plate to the kitchen." Xu Han reminded.

"Okay, mother." Mu'er said and started eating.

Xu Han didn't care about him anymore. It had been a whole morning and she still hadn't prepared anything delicious for Yunhua. If she didn't make it now, it would be too late.
