Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 406 New Year Reunion

The Taoist priest also reminded behind him, "Bring more wine. Let's get together and have a good time."

As Xu Han walked away, she responded, "Oh, I remember."

There were more people today, so Xu Han ordered two pots of sweet potato wine and a little bit of mulberry wine.

The sweet potato wine was given to the grown men, and the mulberry wine was reserved for Xu Han and Zhao Yunyun.

As for the children, in order not to spoil their fun, Xu Han even made some jam water for them, which was sour and sweet, delicious and appetizing.

After everyone was seated, Grandpa Zhao was the first to speak, "Hahaha, it's been a long time since our whole family has been together like this. It's a rare occasion that everyone is here today, so let's have a toast first."

After Yunhua poured wine for everyone, he echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, we must drink to our heart's content tonight and not let down the delicious food on the table."

After that, everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together, even Mu'er followed suit. Ze'er looked at everyone's actions curiously, not understanding, and then started to show off his fandom crazily.

After one glass, Xu Han put down the glass and said, "We have said so many times that we should spend the New Year together, but every year at the end of the year we would separate due to various reasons. This year we are finally together."

Zhao Yunyun seemed particularly happy, with a smile on her face the whole time. "I've been wanting to come back for the New Year for a long time, and I finally made it back after working day and night."

Yunhua continued, "If you don't come back, I will probably be sent out to pick you up. You don't know, since I came back, Grandpa Zhao has always been uneasy. He looks at the door every day, hoping that he will see you back in the blink of an eye."

Grandpa Zhao picked up his wine glass and tried to hide his expression. "Am I like this? It's not as exaggerated as you say."

Xu Han echoed, "Yes, of course, the only thing missing is the word 'Yunyun' written on her face."

Hahahaha, everyone burst into laughter again when they heard this.

Everyone had a very happy meal. They talked about their own changes and family changes in the past year, as well as what they had heard and seen outside.

Especially when Xu Han heard Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun talk about where they had been, what they had done, and who they had met in the past year, she was filled with longing.

Lu Chuan saw all of this and made up his mind to take Xu Han out for a walk when he had the chance in the future.

After thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong. Even if there was no opportunity, I had to find one. I had to go out for a walk.

Everyone was very happy today, and Xu Han didn't want to spoil the fun, so after drinking two pots of sweet potato wine, he went to the warehouse to get two more pots of wine.

Mu'er and Ze'er were still young, so after about the same time, Lu Chuan helped them wash and then let them go to sleep on their own.

The remaining adults continued to eat and chat. Because it was cold in winter, Xu Han even heated up the food twice.

Everyone was very happy that night because there was nothing important to do the next day, so they chatted until late at night and finally returned to their rooms dizzy.

As expected, everyone got up late the next morning. Even Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest, who always got up on time, rarely got up early. As for Xu Han and Zhao Yunyun, they slept until noon and only got up because they were too hungry.

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Xu Han wants to take advantage of today's time to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner in advance.

The sanitation of the house must also be cleaned up. New Year, new atmosphere, and year-end cleaning is something that every household must do. It means getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, and a better next year.

Xu Han and Zhao Yunyun were busy in the kitchen preparing meals for the whole family. Lu Chuan and the others did not go out either, but took advantage of this time to clean every corner of the house.

All the unusable things were thrown away, and the things that I was reluctant to throw away were also discarded. As for the usable things, they were all placed in the warehouse in the backyard.

Now there are more warehouses in the house. In addition to the large warehouse in the west of the front yard and the old firewood room in front of the kitchen, there is also a newly built place in the backyard, which is also used to store many things that are not used in daily life but are necessary.

Xu Han really felt that the longer she had lived in this house, the more things she had accumulated. When Lu Chuan was alone, one warehouse had to be vacant for more than half, but now all three warehouses could not hold all the things. And this did not include Xu Han's space and the cellar.

When there were only two of them at the beginning, there weren’t too many things, but after the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao joined, there were more things.

Later, two more children were born and there were even more things. Their toys and wooden horses alone took up a large space.

While picking the vegetables in her hand, Xu Han said to Yunyun, "Yunyun, I made a lot of snacks during this period. You didn't have time to eat them yesterday. I'll take them out for you to try later."

Zhao Yunyun's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Really?"

"Of course it's real. I made a lot of it, including bread, biscuits, and konjac cakes. They're all snacks. I can bring some back for you when you leave."

Zhao Yunyun put down what she was holding, came to Xu Han and hugged her, "Sister Xiaohan, I really like you. You are so good to me."

Xu Han smiled but didn't say anything. The two of them had been together for a long time, and now Zhao Yunyun had become more and more relaxed and was willing to hug him actively.

As expected, snacks are something that every girl can't refuse, and it seems that Zhao Yunyun is no exception.

Yunhua came in and interrupted, "The noodles on the kang have overflowed. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Xu Han then remembered that the dough she had just kneaded seemed to have risen.

Xu Han slapped his head and said, "Oh no, don't drive too far."

Yunhua came out of the kitchen very tactfully and said, "I'll bring it to you."

Xu Han took this opportunity to clean the chopping board so that she could make steamed buns and dumplings later.

After cleaning up here, Lu Chuan and Yun Hua each brought a large wooden basin to make dough.

Lu Chuan looked at Xu Han and said, "Let me help you knead the dough. I'm stronger and can knead it faster than you."

Xu Hantou was not very happy. "Okay, you hurry up and knead the dough. Let the air out first. Fortunately, it hasn't risen too much, otherwise, such a big bowl of dough would have been wasted."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan rolled up his sleeves and began to knead the dough. Xu Han took this opportunity to stir the filling for the buns.

Today I prepared three kinds of bun fillings, one with beef and green onions, one with tofu and vermicelli, and one with dried vegetable, vermicelli and black fungus filling.

Everyone liked these kinds of bun fillings, so Xu Han simply made them all so that Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun could have some.

In addition, Xu Han also prepared white flour buns and corn flour buns.

If I make a little more today, it will be enough to eat for a few more days. At least I won’t have to make steamed buns before the Lantern Festival.
