Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 290: Clearing the Hillside 2

After resting for a while, they continued to work.

However, after the conversation between the two just now, Lu Chuan was indeed not as anxious to work as before.

At the beginning, Lu Chuan just wanted to tidy up the hillside quickly so that when the saplings were brought back, he could plant them directly.

But after these two days of rushing to cut down trees, I really felt that the physical strain was too severe.

I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it for a long time, so I adjusted my mindset and stopped working so hard.

After all, Xu Han was right. There was still a lot of time and there was no need to rush.

Creating a paradise is not something that can be done overnight. It definitely takes time to achieve the desired effect.

At noon, the two went home together to have lunch.

Today Grandpa Zhao made noodles, which is simple and convenient.

After lunch, Xu Han forced Lu Chuan to rest for a while before letting him continue working.

This time, Grandpa Zhao also went along, while Xu Han stayed at home to look after the children.

Although I stay at home to take care of the children, it doesn't mean I don't do anything.

While Ze'er was sleeping, Mu'er was playing in the yard by herself. Xu Han took this opportunity to wash the dirty clothes that she had taken off in the past two days.

By the way, I cleaned the house and swept away the fallen leaves in the yard.

I really don't dare to waste any time because there are so many things to do every day.

Before Xu Han finished her housework, Ze'er started crying again.

Seeing this, Xu Han quickly put down the work at hand, turned around and went into the room to see what happened to Ze'er.

After entering the room, Xu Han first checked if Ze'er was uncomfortable because he had wet his pants. Seeing that Ze'er had not defecated or urinated, Xu Han picked up Ze'er and fed him.

When Mu'er heard her brother crying, she also ran in from the yard with her toys.

She stood on tiptoe to tease her younger brother and chattered something.

Ze'er stopped crying immediately after drinking milk. When he saw his brother playing with him, he smiled and cooperated very well.

After feeding Ze'er, Xu Han simply pushed the crib into the yard. The sun was shining brightly at this moment, not too glaring, but still good for him to get some sun, which was just right for Ze'er to replenish his calcium.

Ze'er was lying in the crib, Mu'er was playing with him, and Xu Han was continuing to pack up.

While packing, she kept an eye on the two children from time to time to prevent any accidents from happening.

When the sun was not so warm, Ze'er had fallen asleep. Xu Han pushed Ze'er into the room again, and took Mu'er to the kitchen to prepare dinner for today.

It is indeed difficult to cook for one person, especially using a wood stove.

Not only do you have to take care of the food in the pot, but you also have to always pay attention to whether the fire in the stove is extinguished.

Xu Han moved a small chair and asked Mu'er to sit beside her to eat, while she started preparing the food.

First, wash the necessary vegetables and various side dishes, then cut them into suitable shapes. Once everything is ready, you can prepare to cook.

After lighting the fire, put firewood into the stove and then you can start cooking.

Today's dinner is very simple, scrambled eggs with peppers, braised steak, and in another big iron pot there are steamed buns, and porridge is also cooked.

Cooking in two pots together is much faster, mainly because the steamed buns and porridge in the big iron pot are easy to prepare. Just put the ingredients in and boil them over high heat.

The other pot needed to be used for cooking, and Xu Han added firewood while cooking.

Although I was a little flustered, I was able to handle it.

Just as Xu Han prepared dinner, Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao came back.

After hearing the noise, Xu Han came out to take a look. Unknowingly, the sky had begun to slowly darken.

In early spring, it gets dark relatively early, around five or six o'clock.

"You guys are back. I just prepared dinner. Wash your hands and eat."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Lu Chuan replied.

Grandpa Zhao came in after washing his hands, ready to help serve the dishes. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he asked, "What did you cook today that smells so good? I could smell it as soon as I walked to the front door."

"I saw there were still a lot of beef ribs at home, so I braised some of them. They are all big chunks of meat, and you can chew the bones and eat the meat at the same time. Everyone can enjoy a good meal today." Xu Han said with a smile.

"Then we're in for a treat tonight. I love ribs the most. It feels so good to eat meat in big bites." Lu Chuan walked in and took over.

"I knew you liked it, so I served Mu'er some non-spicy food and made the rest spicy for you," said Xu Han.

"Hahahaha, my wife loves me the most." Lu Chuan said with a smile.

"Hurry up and serve the meal. Let Ze'er eat before he wakes up. Otherwise, someone will have to keep an eye on him later." After Xu Han said this, she started serving the meal.

Seeing this, the others quickly served their meals and started eating. It must be said that Ze'er was particularly well-behaved today. He didn't wake up until after everyone had finished dinner.

Old mother Xu Han was very pleased that she could finally have a good dinner.

Not only Xu Han and her friends enjoyed today’s dinner, but the dogs at home also enjoyed it very much.

Xu Han made a big pot of ribs, which the three of them certainly couldn't finish. For the remaining ribs, Xu Han simply removed the large chunks of meat and saved them to be heated up and eaten tomorrow.

The remaining large bones were all fed to the dogs.

However, there are too many dogs in the house. Although there is a large basin of bones, each dog gets only a few pieces to grind their teeth.

But fortunately, there was a lot of soup left, and Xu Han used it all to mix with black-flour steamed buns and feed them to the dogs.

The dogs haven’t eaten so well for a long time, so they are naturally very happy to eat.

Everyone seemed very satisfied after eating, and after finishing they played together in the yard.

After eating and drinking, the few people were exhausted after a day of hard work, so they all went to bed early.

After waking up from a good sleep, it is another day full of energy and everyone continues to repeat the work of the previous day.

The next few days passed like this. After a busy few days, on the eighth day, all the big trees on the hillside were finally cut down.

Next, we need to dig out the big tree roots that have been cut down.

The roots of the big trees are very deep and not easy to dig. The efficiency of manual labor is not high and two people can only dig a few in a day.

At this moment, Xu Han really missed the modern excavator. If only she had an excavator, these tree roots could be dealt with in minutes.
