Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 334 Playing Mahjong on a Rainy Day

At the beginning, Xu Han would carry Ze'er to play with the dog, but later she found that the dog's body was bald due to Ze'er's pulling, so she didn't dare to let him play with the dog anymore.

I don’t know how a four-month-old baby could have such strong hands. The key point is that the dogs didn’t dare to make a sound even though they were hurt, they just endured it.

"If you continue like this, I won't be able to hold you." Xu Han tried hard to control Ze'er who kept stretching forward.

But Ze'er seemed not to have heard Xu Han's words and continued to reach for the dog.

Xu Han had no choice but to let the dog go out. When Ze'er saw the dog leave, he immediately burst into tears.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying so early in the morning?" asked the Taoist priest.

"He insisted on going to find the dog. Look, there's not a single good spot left on Peanut's body from the dog's plucking.

As soon as I asked Huasheng to leave, he started crying loudly. "Xu Han said helplessly.

"You deserve a beating. You're so young but you have such a weird temper." Lu Chuan patted Ze'er's butt lightly.

Seeing Lu Chuan approaching, Xu Han immediately handed Ze'er to Lu Chuan and said, "Go find your father, you are such a troublemaker."

Lu Chuan found Xu Han very funny, but he still held Ze'er tightly to prevent him from falling.

After the family had a lively breakfast, they each went about their own business.

Although the orchard is very close to home, Xu Han hasn't been there for a long time.

When I came this time, I clearly found that the fruit flowers had all fallen and new leaves had sprouted on the branches.

Xu Han first walked around the orchard and found that only one fruit tree was dead, while the others were all alive and well.

"Hahaha, that's great. Almost all of them survived. Only one fruit tree died among so many. The survival rate is still quite high." Xu Han said to Grandpa Zhao with a smile.

"Yes, we will have fruits to eat next year. This year there was plenty of rain, and we have been watering the trees for some time, so almost all the fruit trees have survived. That's great."

Grandpa Zhao walked around under the trees on this side, then went to look under the fruit trees over there. He simply couldn't let go of these fruit trees. It seemed as if he could already see their branches full of fruits.

"The weeds in this orchard grow so fast that they can never be completely removed." Xu Han complained as she weeded with a hoe.

"Don't worry, it's not a big place. We can finish it in no time."

"Mom, I'm weeding too." Mu'er, who was standing by, held up the grass she had just pulled out and showed it to Xu Han.

"Mu'er is great. Be careful not to scratch your hands." Xu Han reminded.

"Okay, I'll help mother pull weeds too." After saying that, he lowered his head and started pulling weeds again.

Ze'er was playing by himself in the little car next to him. He didn't cry or make a fuss and was very well-behaved.

In this way, the few people were busy for another two days, and finally they cleared the weeds in the field. The new fertilizer pile had been piled up and was fermenting.

When everyone got up that morning, a drizzle started to fall from the sky again, and the temperature dropped a little.

"Wife, the temperature is low this afternoon. You should wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold." Lu Chuan reminded.

"Okay, I'm wearing quite thick clothes, so I don't feel cold."

Then Xu Han continued, "There was no sign of the rain. It was sunny yesterday morning, but it started raining the moment I woke up."

"Isn't that how the weather is in the mountains? The rain comes quickly and goes away quickly. Maybe the rain will stop in a while." Lu Chuan explained.

"Have you put away the things in the yard? Don't let them get wet."

"I put it away. I got up in the middle of the night when the wind started to blow and put my things away."

"Was it windy in the middle of the night? How come I didn't know?" Xu Han said in confusion.

"Hahaha, I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn't call you."

The two of them left the room one after another. Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest also got up and were making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Are you up? It's raining today and there's nothing to do. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" the Taoist asked Xu Han.

"I've gotten used to getting up early these days, and I can't fall asleep when it's time. So I got up."

As Xu Han spoke, he took out a few sweet potatoes from the space, threw them into the stove beside him, and buried them again.

"Roast a few more sweet potatoes. They're the best food in this weather." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Hey, I'll roast a few more. Mu'er can eat them later."

"The composting has been completed. What do you plan to do next?" The Taoist priest sat on a small chair nearby, tapping the ground intermittently and speaking.

"Now only rice, corn and soybeans are left to be planted. Apart from the place for growing rice, there are no other wastelands. The most important thing next is to reclaim the wasteland. Once the land is prepared, we can plant corn and beans." Xu Han said.

"Soybeans and corn are not very picky about the soil and can grow easily. Let's start reclaiming the land after the rain stops," said Grandpa Zhao.

"Okay, we can open up the wasteland and plant crops at the same time, so that the crops don't mature at the same time, and we won't be too busy when it's time to harvest the crops." Lu Chuan suggested.

"Not bad, not bad, let's do it this way, but what are we going to do today? It's raining outside and we can't open up the wasteland."

"Hahaha, Taoist priest, you are getting anxious after not working for a day. It is raining today, so let's all take a good rest and continue working after the rain stops." Xu Han said with a smile.

"Yes, we have been tired for so many days, we must have a good rest. It just so happens that everyone is here today, we can even play mahjong." Grandpa Zhao continued with a smile.

"Okay! I haven't played mahjong for a long time, and I really miss it. Let's eat quickly, and then we'll start playing mahjong. We have to relax today." Xu Han urged.

In this way, everyone spent the whole day eating, drinking and having fun. The four adults played mahjong together, Mu'er played with toys by herself, and Ze'er played by himself on the mat.

Whenever he cried, Xu Han would go over and hug him.

Maybe it’s because everyone has been busy recently and we don’t hold Ze’er every day like before. After a long time, Ze’er has gotten used to playing by himself.

"The rain has stopped." Lu Chuan said after looking outside the door.

"Finally it stopped. Why do I feel that playing mahjong for a day is more tiring than doing a day's work? My back and waist ache after sitting all day." Xu Han said, rubbing his waist.

"I thought I was the only one feeling this way, but it turns out everyone is the same. It's really comfortable to work." The Taoist priest also said.

"When I'm working, I always feel that time passes very quickly. It's dark in the blink of an eye. Today, I sat there without knowing what time it was. I felt dazed that it wasn't dark yet." Lu Chuan said with a smile.
