Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 292 Tree Roots

"Hehehe, it's about to be dug out. I was thinking of getting it out first and then going home for dinner." Lu Chuan said embarrassedly.

"You scared me. I thought something happened to you. I'm glad you're okay." After saying this, Xu Han stood aside and watched the two of them digging up the tree roots.

I have to say that this tree root is really big and its shape is very beautiful.

"Isn't it a bit of a waste to use this for firewood?" Xu Han said as he looked at the dug-out tree roots.

Grandpa Zhao also looked at it carefully and said, "It's a bit of a waste. This can be used as a decoration."

"This tree root is so big. If it is processed properly, maybe it can be made into a small table. It will definitely look nice when placed in the yard." Xu Han said.

"Then we can choose a few suitable ones to make stools. They will definitely look good when put together." Lu Chuan also said.

"Yes, they can also be used to make flower stands and for landscaping. It seems that tree roots are very useful. It would be a waste to just burn them as firewood.

Let's pick out some nice-looking ones and keep them for now, and then work on them later when we have time."

The more Xu Han thought about it, the more excited she became. In modern times, there are many people who use tree roots to create landscapes or tables and chairs, and the results are very good. Why didn't she think of doing this before?

But it’s not too late to think about it now. Fortunately, the tree roots have not been damaged and can still be used. Besides, there is no time to do these now. The most important thing is to clear the hillside first.

"Okay, then be careful when digging tree roots next time, and try not to damage them. Then you can pick out the good ones to use when the time comes." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

It is obvious that Grandpa Zhao is also very interested in these tree roots. Grandpa Zhao is used to various gardening shapes, and the landscape he creates will definitely look better.

Moreover, Grandpa Zhao is a cultured and artistic person, so he must be very interested in these things.

It’s just that due to the weather, these things couldn’t be done before. Fortunately, the weather will be normal in the future and these things can be done.

When it comes to enjoying life, Grandpa Zhao is definitely many times better than Xu Han. After all, Grandpa Zhao is a man who has seen the world and must have a very broad vision.

With Grandpa Zhao's words, Lu Chuan couldn't help but be more careful when digging the tree roots. If he damaged the tree roots, his wife would definitely not forgive him.

Finally, after great effort, the two of them successfully dug out the big tree root.

Xu Han was more and more satisfied the more she looked at it. She asked, "This tree root is really big, and the trunk is also quite thick. Is it the root of the thickest tree trunk?"

"That's the one. When the time comes, dry it and use it as wood." Lu Chuan said.

The large trunks of the trees that were cut down this time were sorted out separately and kept as lumber, while the small trunks and branches were used as firewood.

These are all things I cut down with great effort, so I must not waste them. I must make the best use of them.

After digging out the tree roots, the three of them went home to eat together.

"Come and try today's new dish, coriander beef." Xu Han said excitedly.

"I've never seen it cooked this way before. I'm a little curious about what it will taste like." Grandpa Zhao looked at the dish Xu Han brought over, eager to try it.

"It's guaranteed to be delicious, come and try it." After saying that, Xu Han sat down and began to prepare to eat.

As expected, the coriander beef received unanimous praise from everyone, and Lu Chuan said frankly that he would eat this dish again tomorrow.

After lunch, everyone took a short break. In the afternoon, Xu Han brought the children to the hillside to help.

Now that I have finished all the housework, I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go over to the hillside and help organize some things.

So Xu Han put Ze'er's small bed into the space, and Lu Chuan held Mu'er, and Xu Han held Ze'er and went to the hillside together.

Fortunately, the afternoon sun was still very good and the weather was not cold. Ze'er would not be cold if he slept outside under a blanket and he could also bask in the sun.

As soon as they reached the hillside, Mu'er couldn't wait to slide down from Lu Chuan, and took the small wooden shovel that Lu Chuan made for him and started digging the soil.

Xu Han took out the small bed from the space, then put Ze'er in it and covered it with a layer of gauze to prevent anything from falling on Ze'er.

After all, we are on a hillside here, and the weather is getting warmer as spring arrives. It would be bad if some insects fell down.

I have to say that Xu Han now truly understands what it means to raise the first child according to the book and raise the second child like a pig.

When Mu'er was young, her living conditions were poor, and she was raised very delicately. She was afraid of this and that, and was always treated with caution.

When it comes to Ze'er, he was only two months old, but his parents took him to the fields to stay. There is really no comparison.

It was indeed because there was a shortage of manpower, and Xu Han also didn't want to stay at home to look after the children.

So Ze'er was brought to the hillside, and Xu Han could work while watching him.

In this era, how many children can grow up in a greenhouse? After all, both parents have to work. Some women don’t even have to observe the confinement period after giving birth, and have to go to work in the fields after giving birth.

There was no one to look after the little child at home, so she had to take him to the fields and take care of him while working.

However, Xu Han has not reached this point yet. She just stayed at home for a long time today. The sun happened to be shining brightly, so she brought Ze'er out.

I will take Ze'er back home in a while. After all, Xu Han's family is not to the point where she has to take a two-month-old child to work in the fields.

In this way, Mu'er was playing nearby, Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao continued to dig tree roots, and Xu Han took advantage of this time to organize the tree roots they had dug, and picked up the rhizomes and other things in the ground, and piled them together for easy transportation to the open space later.

After staying in the ground for about an hour, Lu Chuan urged Xu Han to take the child away quickly.

"Wife, Ze'er should wake up soon, you can take them back first." Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go back and make dinner first. You guys take care of the time. I won't call you later." Xu Han said.

"Okay, Mu'er, come home with your mother soon." Lu Chuan said to his eldest son who was digging the soil nearby.

"Don't go home." Mu'er replied unhappily when her father called her. It was obvious that she had not had enough fun yet.

"Are you sure you don't want to go home? If you don't go home with your mother now, you will have to wait with your father until dark before you can go home." Lu Chuan asked.

"I'm not going home. I'm going to play with Daddy~" Mu'er said with certainty.
