Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 411: Bridge Repair

"It's good this way. Although the world is not very chaotic now, after getting married, I really don't have the freedom I had when I was a girl."

Xu Han had a deep understanding of this, especially after having two children, she could no longer travel far.

Every day revolves around children and housework, with no freedom at all.

Now Xu Han is looking forward to the two children growing up quickly, and then she will be free.

"Sister Xiaohan, can you come to my wedding?"

Hearing this, Xu Han took Zhao Yunyun's hand and squeezed it, "My silly sister, I will definitely go when you get married!"

Zhao Yunyun was even happier when she heard Xu Han say that. "Really? The south is very far from here. I thought you didn't want to go."

"Hahaha, girl, no matter how far the journey is, it's not as important as your marriage. At worst, we can just leave early and catch up. Besides, I'm your mother's family, and I'll go to support you. If Li Lin dares to bully you, I'll let your brother-in-law beat him up."

When Zhao Yunyun heard this, her eyes instantly turned red with emotion. She sniffed and hugged Xu Han, "Thank you, Sister Xiaohan."

Xu Han patted Zhao Yunyun on the back and said, "Why thank you? We are a family. There is no need to thank me. When the time comes, I, your sister, will prepare a generous dowry for you and will never let you suffer any injustice."

Zhao Yunyun burst into laughter after hearing this, "No need, Xiaohan sister, leave your money to the two children. I'll tell you in secret, Grandpa has prepared a lot of dowry for me! Even the Taoist priest has prepared one for me."

Xu Han smiled and said, "Really? That's great. Life is not easy for us girls. If the dowry is generous, we will be able to stand firm. When we get married, we won't have to rely on our husbands and in-laws to make a living, and we won't be wronged. If the dowry is generous, we can support ourselves and have confidence in what we say. If your husbands-in-law want to bully you, they will have to think twice."

Zhao Yunyun hugged Xu Han's arm affectionately and shook it. "You are my greatest confidence. Yunhua and my brother-in-law are so skilled that no one can easily defeat them. I don't believe that if I am wronged, you will not support me."

"Hahaha, don't worry, not only do you have Yunhua and your brother-in-law to back you up, but these two children are also your backing."

The two chatted for a while and then continued to pack their luggage.

Since Zhao Yunyun plans to return to the capital with Yunhua, just pack all the things they need to take away together, and then divide them among them after they return.

Sweet potato wine, dried bamboo shoots, dried beef, dried mushrooms, various pickles, and a bunch of other miscellaneous things prepared by Xu Han.

After they packed up, they looked at the pile of things on the ground and couldn't help but worry. How could they take so many things away?

Xu Han looked at the things on the ground with a headache. "I thought there weren't many things, but after packing them all up, there are so many. This carriage can't hold them all. What should I do?"

Zhao Yunyun was also having a headache. "You should take some. But these are all delicious. I can't do without them. What should I do? I want them all, Xiaohan."

Zhao Yunyun looked at the wine jar on the ground. This one took up the most space. But Zhao Yunyun also knew that Yunhua would definitely not agree if she didn't take him away.

But I don't want to give up these foods.

Seeing Zhao Yunyun's conflicted look, Xu Han smiled and said, "At worst, we can just hire another carriage. We are not short of money anyway."

"Hahaha, this is a good idea. This way we can take all these things away."

"Okay, let's leave these here for now. Let's go outside and see if they have installed the bridge yet."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she took Zhao Yunyun's arm and walked outside. From a distance, they saw a few people working hard.

The Taoist priest looked up and saw two people coming over, "Pack up all your things."

Zhao Yunyun responded cheerfully, "It's all packed. There are so many things. I've already discussed with Sister Xiaohan that we'll hire an extra carriage when the time comes. Otherwise, we won't be able to pack all these things."

Zhao Yunyun said this first, fearing that her grandfather would see too many things and ask her to take less.

How could Grandpa Zhao not see what his little granddaughter was thinking? He smiled dotingly and said, "Okay, if there are a lot of things, just hire another carriage. This place is not far from the capital, so just be careful along the way."

Yunhua echoed from the side, "Grandpa Zhao, you still feel uneasy with me following you."

Grandpa Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, don't worry. I couldn't be more relieved. Hahaha."

Seeing them chatting aside, Xu Han walked around the newly built bridge, touched it, and looked at it again, "This bridge looks really magnificent, and the shape is also beautiful."

Lu Chuan pointed to the bridge piers in the river and said, "Look at this bridge pier, it's thick and solid, there's no need to worry about it being unstable."

Yunhua stood on the bridge and shook it. "Yes, you see I am standing on it. It is not affected at all even with such a strong shake. It is very solid and does not move at all."

Seeing this, Xu Han also walked up and asked, "How much weight can this bear?"

Lu Chuan looked at Xu Han with a proud look on his face, boasting, "After it's built, at least one thousand pounds won't be a problem."

The three of them were standing on the bridge, swaying, and discussing the issue of weight. When they were arguing, they suddenly heard a violent voice.

The Taoist priest glanced at the three people on the bridge with resentment, and shouted angrily, "Can you three stop wandering? Can't you see I'm still down there?"

The three of them looked down and saw that the Taoist priest was standing in the river. He seemed to be fixing something under the bridge. Lu Chuan and Yun Hua knew that the bridge had not been built yet, so they did not dare to say anything and walked down from the bridge in shame.

Seeing this, Xu Han hurriedly followed him down. She was really afraid that the Taoist priest would catch her and beat her up, so it was better to play dumb for now.

Yunhua and Lu Chuan did not dare to be lazy anymore. They picked up their tools and started working hard.

Xu Han found that she didn't know what to do for a moment, but was afraid that she would become cannon fodder, so she quickly picked up Ze'er and ran to the fish pond nearby, looking like she was coaxing a child.

Ze'er was confused when he was suddenly picked up. He turned around and saw that it was his mother, and he smiled even more happily.

Several people were busy until the sun went down and it was getting dark, and the entire bridge was basically built.

Grandpa Zhao glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting dark and we can't see clearly. Let's go back first and deal with the remaining finishing work tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone picked up the tools that had fallen on the ground, and walked home in a mighty procession.
