Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 491 Mother and Son Sleep Together

As for hot water, there is no need to bring it. There are clay pots for boiling hot water over there, and they can boil water for themselves to drink.

Xu Han said to Dan Niang, "Dan Niang, you and Ma Pozi should go back with us. Eat your meal and go to bed early. You don't need to come here tonight."

When Dan Niang heard this, she quickly refused and said, "Madam, I'd better stay here. I was just busy making pancakes and haven't made dinner for you yet.

We are eating biscuits because it is raining and it is inconvenient. We cannot let you and the two young masters eat dry biscuits with us!"

Ma Pozi also echoed, "Yes, Madam, we will prepare dinner for you before we go back. It won't take much time. We will make whatever you want to eat in the evening."

After saying this, Mrs. Ma prepared to go to the cupboard to get some vegetables and start cooking.

Xu Han reached out to stop Ma Pozi and said, "Really, there's no need. There are only a few of us at home tonight, so there's no need to bother cooking. I'll just stir-fry some vegetables later. You guys should go back quickly.

It's getting darker outside, and the road is hard to walk on when it rains. Go back quickly while there's still light. Otherwise, it will be completely dark soon, and the road will be slippery and you may fall."

Ma Po wanted to say something else, but Dan Niang pulled her arm and said, "Okay, Madam, we will go back first. We will come back tomorrow morning."

"Well, let's go back. Be careful on the road and walk carefully."

After seeing them off, Xu Han simply locked the gate.

Judging from the situation, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest will definitely not come back tonight. She doesn't want to put on a straw raincoat and come out to lock the door later, so she just locks it now.

After returning to the house, Xu Han did not go to the kitchen to cook, but directly took out some food that the two children and Grandpa Zhao liked from the space.

The four of them happily had a sumptuous dinner, and after washing up, they went back to their rooms to rest early.

The next day, when Xu Han got up in the morning, it was still raining outside. It was not raining heavily, but it did not stop.

Grandpa Zhao had already gotten up. The courtyard gate was open and smoke was rising from the kitchen. It should be Dan Niang and the others making breakfast.

Xu Han put on a coat, held up an umbrella and walked out of the yard.

A night of heavy rain washed the entire forest. The mountain looked extremely beautiful from afar.

The scenery in the distance is obscured by the mist, which gives it a unique flavor.

Xu Han looked into the distance for a while, then walked towards the field.

Although she no longer needed to worry about the crops in the fields, the autumn harvest was about to begin and it had rained heavily. She would always feel uneasy if she didn't go and check on them in person.

Fortunately, the crops in the field were all fine, except that a few corn stalks were blown crooked by the strong wind, but they did not fall down.

But even if it falls now, it doesn’t matter much. We are about to start harvesting corn. The corn is almost grown at this time, so if it falls, it won’t have much impact.

She inspected the field and saw that there were no major problems. She felt relieved and turned back home.

The rain continued until mid-afternoon before it slowly stopped. After the rain stopped, the servants did not have time to wait for the land to dry, and began to work intensively again.

Today was a very peaceful day. The three people who went out hunting had agreed to come back today, but Xu Han waited until it got dark but didn't see any of them.

Grandpa Zhao said, "Xiao Han, close the shop. It's already this late. I guess because it's raining today, the three of them may not have caught anything. They probably won't be back today."

Xu Han stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go close the gate."

Now that Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest are out hunting, Xu Han is no longer worried. With Han Qi's help, she is even less worried.

The three skilled people are not at home. Instead of worrying about them getting injured outside, it is better to worry about your own personal safety.

Xu Han always felt that those who stayed at home were even less safe. If something happened, this group of old, weak, women and children would not be able to escape.

Fortunately, there are no large wild animals near the house, and the situation outside is gradually stabilizing. Otherwise, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest would really not feel comfortable leaving these people at home.

Speaking of the situation outside, I haven’t received any letters from Yunhua in recent times, and I don’t know what the situation is like outside now?

It seems that if Yunhua doesn't send another letter back, Xu Han will really have to go out and ask around. The sooner she understands the situation outside, the easier it will be for her to make the next plan.

However, the last time Lu Chuan went down the mountain to mail a letter, he didn't hear any rumors, so he thought the situation outside shouldn't be too bad.

Xu Han closed the gate while thinking about all these things.

I checked the other doors and windows in the house and returned to the main room after finding that there were no problems.

At this time, Grandpa Zhao in the main room was pressing Ze'er to practice calligraphy!

Mu'er was writing her homework seriously and she did a great job on her own without any extra tutoring.

But it’s different for Ze’er. He needs someone to watch him. Otherwise, he will just stop writing and sometimes he will just write in a mess.

However, with Grandpa Zhao watching, he didn't dare to go too far.

Grandpa Zhao held a ruler in his hand and said, "Write well and write neatly. Sit up straight and don't slump down."

Ze'er was brought back to reality by Grandpa Zhao's voice. He sat up straight and began to write stroke by stroke.

Seeing that the two brothers were writing very seriously, Xu Han did not have the heart to disturb them, so she went to the kitchen to wash some fruits and brought them over. She then made each of them a cup of honey water and placed it aside so that they could drink it whenever they were thirsty.

The time was getting later and later, and it was not until around nine o'clock in the evening that the two brothers finished writing all the words.

When Xu Han saw that there was no movement outside, she knew that Lu Chuan would definitely not come back tonight, so she simply slept with the two children.

Mu'er and Ze'er hadn't slept with their mother for a long time, and they seemed particularly excited at this moment, especially Ze'er, who rolled around on the kang, messing up all the bedding that Xu Han had folded up.

She couldn't bear it any longer. Looking at the messed up bedding, Xu Han was so angry that she just grabbed Ze'er.

"Lu Ze, if you dare to mess up the bedding like this again, you can go back to sleep by yourself."

"Hehehe, mother, good mother, I won't roll away anymore, put me down quickly, I want to sleep."

Ze'er was shaking Xu Han's arm and acting coquettishly, while Mu'er beside him was busy tidying up the messed up bedding for her brother.

The mother and her two children played until very late, until Ze'er's eyelids kept fighting and could no longer open. The noises gradually became quieter, and the three of them fell into a deep sleep.
