Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 232 Taoist Priest and Grandpa Zhao Move to the Backyard

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was the golden month of October.

During this period, Xu Han was busy every day making various clothes and supplies for the unborn child.

Now Xu Han is about to give birth. She is already nine months pregnant. Her belly is bulging and looks particularly scary.

A woman in labor is unable to do anything, cannot bend her waist or squat.

Fortunately, Xu Han had prepared many of the necessary things in advance. Otherwise, without a female elder to help, many things would not be done in time, which would have been troublesome.

Grandpa Zhao took my pulse and said that if nothing unexpected happens, the expected date of delivery will be around late November, which means I can spend the New Year with Yunhua and the others this year.

Early in the morning, Xu Han asked the Taoist priest, "Should I tell Yunhua and the others? It will take some time for them to rush back from outside! Should I notify them in advance?"

"It's time to tell them to come back early and walk slowly on the way. There's no need to rush." ​​Grandpa Zhao interrupted.

"I know you miss Yunyun. I will write a letter to them right now." The Taoist priest said and went into the room.

During this period of time, the Taoist priest went into the mountains twice, but did not see any large wild animals active nearby.

I don’t know why, but the mountains have been quite quiet recently.

Not only was the inside of the mountain very peaceful, but even the area outside the mountain was much calmer. Now no one came into the deep mountains anymore.

The area below the mountain also became a deserted town. Looking ahead, every household had its doors tightly closed. It was unclear whether they had escaped or the people were no longer there.

In short, the entire county and the outside world are quiet now, with few people passing by.

Even if someone passed by, they were in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to get on with their journey.

The waterfall behind the house has completely dried up, but there is still some water in the valley.

However, Xu Han is now older and feels tired after walking a few steps. In recent times, she has only been to the valley once, and that was specifically to work as a water transporter.

Before leaving, Xu Han took out everything that could be taken out of the space and brought all the containers that could hold water.

The group walked slowly towards the valley and did not return home until the sky gradually darkened.

The weather in October has gradually become much cooler. Due to the drought, this year's climate is even hotter than last year. If the situation continues in this way, I don't know how we will get through next year.

The Taoist priest went into the house to write a letter, and Xu Han and Lu Chuan went to the room in the backyard together.

Taking advantage of the recent free time, I cleaned up the room in the backyard. When Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun come, they can just clean it up a little and move in.

The two of them rearranged the room together, mopped the floor, and wiped the tables and chairs clean so that they could move in whenever they came.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan were cleaning here! The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao also came over.

The Taoist priest said, "Girl, I have discussed with your Grandpa Zhao and we are going to move to the backyard as well."

"Why? Is it because you're uncomfortable living in the front yard?" Xu Han asked puzzledly.

"No, it's quite comfortable to live in the front yard. Isn't this the house we built ourselves? I want to experience what it's like to live in a house that I built with my own hands."

"Yes! We will live in the backyard from now on, and you two will live in the front yard. This will give you two some space of your own." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.

Lu Chuan saw that Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest really wanted to live in the backyard. Besides, what Grandpa Zhao said was right. It was indeed more convenient to live this way, so he said

"Since you want to move in, then move in! We are all in the same yard anyway, and it's only a few steps away. We can eat in the main hall in the front yard. It's more comfortable this way."

"Okay! Boy, I knew you wanted to drive us two old men away a long time ago."

When the Taoist priest heard what Lu Chuan said, he immediately jumped up, picked up the broom next to him and started hitting Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan smiled and hid from the Taoist priest in the yard, while the Taoist priest was chasing him from behind.

Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao were laughing so hard in the room that they couldn't straighten their backs.

In an instant, the originally quiet courtyard returned to its former bustle.

After the commotion, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan sat in the yard, panting and catching their breath.

"I think we should move in today! The room has been cleaned already. It will be quick to move in." said the Taoist priest.

"So fast? Don't worry!" Xu Han said.

"I have to move no matter how early or late it is, so that this guy won't follow me every day and urge me to move."

"That's not what I meant!" Lu Chuan waved his hands quickly.

"I see you've wanted to move for a long time! You just haven't found a suitable excuse." Grandpa Zhao teased.

Hearing this, the Taoist priest chuckled and did not refute Grandpa Zhao's words.

All right! Lu Chuan was wrong after all. After the agreement was made, everyone started to clean the room in the backyard carefully.

After lunch, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao started moving.

There were plenty of rooms this time. The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao each had a room, living on the left and right sides of the main hall respectively.

In addition to a wardrobe, table and chairs in each person's room, there is also a large desk under the window that Lu Chuan made specially for the two of them.

The two of them didn't have much stuff, so they moved it quickly. Fortunately, Xu Han had made several quilts beforehand, otherwise it wouldn't be enough.

After everything was packed up, it was getting dark. The mountains have been peaceful recently, and the four of them have returned to their normal lives, cooking dinner whenever they have time.

"To celebrate Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest moving into their new house, let's have hotpot tonight!" Xu Han suggested.

"That's great. I agree. We haven't had hotpot for a long time. And the weather is cool today. Let's eat hotpot in the yard!" The Taoist priest was the first to speak.

"I agree. I want to eat spicy beef hotpot. I haven't had it for a long time and I've been craving for the taste." Lu Chuan was going to join in the eating.

"Okay, then I'll take out all the dishes we need to eat, and we'll prepare the ingredients for the hot pot together!"

After Xu Han finished speaking, she took out the vegetables that had been stored in the space.

Then I went to the cellar and got some dried vegetables such as bamboo shoots and pumpkin shoots. These can be soaked in advance and taste great in the hot pot.

Various fungi and black fungus should also be added. You can soak more today. The ingredients for hot pot in the space are long gone. Make more. The leftovers can be put in the space and you can eat them directly next time.
