Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 309 Bamboo Pole Water Pipe

After thinking for a while, he continued, "By the way, the remaining scraps can also be used to make some flower pots, and then use them to grow smaller flowers."

"Okay, I'll make the sizes and shapes of these flower pots myself. Just let me know in advance if you have any shapes and sizes you want."

"Well, just watch and do it first."

In this way, every night thereafter, Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao had new work to do, and they made flower boxes for Xu Han every day.

As their skills improved, Xu Han got more and more flower boxes and pots, and they became more and more beautiful.

Of course, this is all in the past...

The next day, after getting up, Lu Chuan began to busy himself in the vegetable garden outside. He first set up the cucumber rack, and then continued to use a hoe to make ridges.

After getting up, Xu Han was not idle either. She had to take care of the children and do housework.

After two days of busy work, I finally planted all the vegetables.

Because growing vegetables requires frequent watering, using space watering every day saves the trouble of carrying water back and forth, but watering one scoop at a time is also a big project and is particularly time-consuming.

So just after breakfast that morning, Lu Chuan and Xu Han discussed whether there was a better way to solve this problem.

"I'm thinking about whether we can connect the water pipe in the backyard to the vegetable garden, just like we used to get water from the reservoir. If this can be done, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?" Lu Chuan said after thinking for a while.

After listening to this, Xu Han thought about it seriously and it seemed that this method might be feasible.

It’s just like the water pipes in the previous life. If you need to irrigate a place, you just need to add a bamboo pole in front to lead the water to that place.

"Okay, let's give it a try first. I think this method is feasible. Even if it doesn't work, it won't be a big deal. Anyway, the bamboo pipes have been led to the backyard, and it won't be a big deal to lead them to the vegetable garden. Let's try it first, and then take it down if it doesn't work." Xu Han said.

Xu Han did it right away. She handed the child to Grandpa Zhao, and the two of them went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo.

"These bamboos just grew last year. Can they be used?" Xu Han asked, looking at the green bamboos.

Generally, bamboo that has just grown for a short time is green.

After a long time, it will turn into a slightly yellowish color.

This type of bamboo is stronger and more durable.

Lu Chuan looked around and said, "I think these dead bamboos are pretty solid. Why don't we use these?"

"That's fine. At worst, we can just replace it with a new one next year. It's not a big deal to replace the bamboo pole anyway."

After Xu Han finished speaking, the two of them began to pick some large bamboos to chop down.

This time they cut more, and the remaining ones could be chopped up to make vegetable racks when they got home.

It also saves you from having to come back to cut bamboo later, which is quite troublesome to run back and forth.

The two men continued chopping until about one o'clock, and when they saw that there was enough bamboo, they stopped to rest.

"I'm starving. Let's go back quickly. Grandpa Zhao must be getting anxious waiting for us." Xu Han said as she packed things into the space.

"Okay, let's go quickly. Grandpa Zhao must not have eaten at home. He is waiting for us to go back and eat together."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han subconsciously quickened her pace. When she got home, she saw that Grandpa Zhao had already prepared lunch and was waiting for them.

"Why did you come back so late today? Did things go wrong?"

"No, we two wanted to cut the bamboo for the vegetable rack at the back at once today, so we were a little late." Lu Chuan explained.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. You must be starving after working all morning."

"Hey, I'll be right there." Xu Han replied with a smile.

It feels so good to have food to eat when I come home from work, but I have to admit that it’s still better to have an elderly person at home.

Otherwise, if both of them go out to work, not only will there be no one to look after the children, but they will not be able to have a hot meal when they get home.

Life would be much better if there were elderly people to help out. At least if I came home late, someone would be worried and waiting for me.

"I'm so full that I feel sleepy after eating. I'm used to taking a nap and I can't skip it." Xu Han said while holding her stomach.

"Ze'er and Mu'er have already fallen asleep. Since you two can't come back, I'll let them eat first."

Xu Han glanced at her eldest son who was sleeping on the straw mat and said with a smile, "He must be tired from playing. I'll put him on the bed first."

"You can sleep for a while too. I'll take care of the cleanup here." Lu Chuan reminded from behind.

"Got it. You guys should get some rest early too. When you wake up, we'll go get the bamboo poles together."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she went into the inner room without looking back. After putting the child down, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after.

When she woke up again, Xu Han was the only one in the room, even Ze'er was not there.

Xu Han quickly got up and went into the yard. After looking around, he didn't see anyone.

Seeing that the gate was open, he followed him out of the yard.

From a distance, Xu Han heard the chattering of several people coming from the backyard wall.

"Wife, you're awake. Come and see how this is done."

"You guys are really fast. It seems like I overslept! Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Mom is tired and wants to sleep, but Grandpa Zhao doesn't let Mu'er shout." Mu'er complained quickly when she saw Xu Han coming.

"I saw that you got up early today, and you worked out very hard in the morning, so I didn't let Muer call you." Grandpa Zhao looked at Xu Han with a smile on his face and said lovingly.

"Hehehe, I'm a little tired." Xu Han said embarrassedly. Then he picked up Mu'er and kissed her.

"Just look after the child. Grandpa Zhao and I can handle it."

"Okay, I won't cause any more trouble for you. Let's go, Mu'er, and mother go home." Xu Han pushed Ze'er and shouted.

When they got home, Xu Han let Mu'er play by herself while she took the opportunity to clean up the house.

After the sun set, Lu Chuan was heard calling Xu Han outside.

When Xu Han heard Lu Chuan calling her, she knew that the bamboo tube must be ready, so she hurriedly carried Ze'er out to take a look.

"Water is flowing out of the pipe made by mom and dad." Mu'er shouted excitedly as Xu Han just came out.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Xu Han said in cooperation.

"Daddy said to water and grow vegetables for Mu'er to eat."

"Hahahaha, your father is right."

"It seems to be quite successful. Although the water flows a little slower, it doesn't need to be watered one scoop at a time." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

"With this water pipe, watering will be much easier in the future. It doesn't matter if you water slowly, you can weed and water at the same time. After watering a ridge, just change direction." Xu Han said.
