Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 257 The snow stopped

"Luckily we have them." Lu Chuan looked at Mu'er who had fallen asleep and said with a satisfied look on his face.

When the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were about to come, Lu Chuan looked reluctant, but for some reasons he finally agreed to their arrival.

When I learned that Grandpa Zhao was a miracle doctor, my first reaction was that my health would be secure in the near future.

Later, when he encountered wolves and tigers, as well as villagers at the foot of the mountain, Lu Chuan was grateful countless times for the presence of Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest.

Rather than saying that the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao came here to find some peace and quiet, it would be more accurate to say that they came to help Lu Chuan and Xu Han survive this disastrous year.

Of course, Lu Chuan was also very clear that the reason why the Taoist priest came was not as simple as he said. There must be some reasons that were not convenient for the two to know.

Since the Taoist priest was unwilling to say, Lu Chuan and Xu Han chose not to ask any more questions. After all, they did not bring any harm or trouble to the two of them.

On the contrary, it helped Xu Han and Lu Chuan a lot. And most importantly, with Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest helping to educate the children, Lu Chuan was completely relieved.

The children raised by these two talented people will definitely be much better than the children raised by a reckless man like me.

Mu'er, who is just over one year old now, is being taught very well by the two of them, one teaching martial arts and the other teaching literature. Lu Chuan and Xu Han are quite satisfied.

The next day, the snow continued to fall, but it was a light snow, which stopped for a while and then started again, and it lasted for two days.

During the past two days, several people have been chopping firewood at home. Now the room where Yunhua lives is full of firewood, but there is still some that has not been chopped. It is estimated that all of it can be chopped in one day.

On the third day, Xu Han woke up early in the morning and saw the sun which he had not seen for many days.

"The sun is finally out. It won't snow now, right?" Xu Han stretched and said lazily.

"That won't happen now, but I don't know how long it will last." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

"It's already the middle of the first lunar month. Even if it rains, it shouldn't snow. It's going to rain because the weather is hot," said Xu Han.

"That's not necessarily true. What if the sun only comes out for two or three days? It could still snow at the current temperature." The Taoist priest said coldly.

"Ah? It's going to rain again?" Xu Han asked in surprise with his mouth wide open.

"I didn't say I would continue. Don't accuse me."

"Hey, I thought you were telling fortunes." Xu Han felt relieved after hearing what the Taoist priest said.

Fortunately, it’s okay. If it was snowing, it would be more difficult.

Day after day, when I opened my eyes, all I saw was a vast expanse of white, which was particularly irritating.

"It is said that days when the snow melts will be colder than days when it snows. You two must take good care of Mu'er these days. Make sure to add clothes to Mu'er in time so that she doesn't catch a cold." Grandpa Zhao reminded.

"I understand, Grandpa Zhao." Lu Chuan agreed.

"Forget it, forget it. You two have never raised a child. I'm worried about leaving it to you. I'd better take care of it myself!" Grandpa Zhao didn't trust the new parents Xu Han and Lu Chuan at all.

The two people who had never taken care of a child were in a panic at the beginning, but things gradually got better when the child was a little older. If it weren't for Grandpa Zhao's help, Mu'er would have probably fallen ill from the torture they had.

With the help of Grandpa Zhao, Mu'er has never been sick since she was a child.

The Taoist priest, who is also an elder, is completely different from Grandpa Zhao. He leaves the child to his own devices. Xu Han really feels sorry for Yunhua and doesn't know how he grew up.

Yunhua is so strong now, and the Taoist priest definitely deserves credit for this.

"Then I'll have to trouble Grandpa Zhao to take care of it. I'll cook whatever you want to eat." Xu Han said with a flattering smile.

"Girl, you're only easy to talk to at this time." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

"Hehe." Xu Han smiled embarrassedly.

It's a rare day with such good weather today. As the sun gets bigger, the snow on the roof that had not been cleared in time slowly melts.

It flowed down along the eaves with a splash.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan hurriedly took out the wooden basin and barrel from his home and placed them under the eaves to collect water.

The snow in the yard was also cleared in time to avoid a lot of water accumulation.

After the ground is completely dry, Mu'er can come out to play. Mu'er has been bored of being stuck in the house for more than ten days.

As soon as Lu Chuan finished cleaning the yard, Mu'er ran into the yard to play.

"Mu'er, just play in the yard. You can't run around, okay? Mother will make new clothes for you." Xu Han took out the cloth and tools, put a table in the yard, and started to prepare to cut clothes while watching over Mu'er.

Spring is coming soon, but Mu'er doesn't have any spring clothes yet.

The previous clothes definitely could not be worn, so Xu Han made him a few sets of changeable inner and outer clothes in advance so that he could change into them when the weather got hot.

Not only do we have to make two pieces for Mu'er, but everyone else in the family also has to make two pieces each.

I didn’t make any last fall, so the clothes I wear are all made in the spring.

Just in time now, I'll make two new sets of clothes for everyone.

There are many people in the family, and making clothes alone is a big project. Fortunately, Xu Han has a small sewing machine, otherwise it would take a long time to make clothes for several people.

I guess she is very busy in winter. She must be making clothes whenever she has time.

But now with the help of this small sewing machine, the speed is much faster. We can make the clothes everyone needs in ten days or half a month.

As for shoes, we can make some if we have time. However, Xu Han had nothing to do during the drought, so she made many pairs of shoes for everyone at that time.

Now everyone has a few pairs of new shoes that have not been worn.

When you have time, just make some for Muer.

Because Mu'er is still relatively young and growing very fast, Xu Han was afraid that if she made clothes in advance, she would not be able to wear them when the time came. Therefore, she did not make many clothes and shoes for Mu'er, and would only start making them when they were needed.

Anyway, Mu'er is relatively small and can be made quickly. She can even make clothes right away when she needs them, so Xu Han is not in a hurry to make too many clothes for Mu'er.

It is enough to make three or four sets of replacement clothes for each season. Xu Han did not throw away the clothes that cannot be worn anymore. She can continue to wear them when she has her second baby. Then there will be no need to make any more clothes.

Children’s clothes will never be worn out, and since they are our own children, there is no problem in letting my second baby wear them.

Who hasn’t worn other people’s hand-me-down clothes when they were a child? It’s not that we can’t afford them, but children grow up fast and there’s no need to buy them.

Moreover, used clothes are softer, which is better for babies.
