Spring planting and autumn harvest, daily life. There are no imperial relatives. The space is used for hoarding items and storing things.

Chapter 214 Xu Han is Pregnant

Early that morning, after the four of them finished breakfast, they went to the backyard together and laid all the remaining tiles, which meant the house was almost finished.

"Xiao Chuan, bring a little more up. We only need about ten more pieces to lay it out," the Taoist priest called from the rooftop.

"Okay, I'll transport them right away." After saying that, he turned around and went outside the courtyard, then pushed in another twenty or so tiles and handed them to the Taoist priest.

After the Taoist priest finished covering the last tile, he said to everyone, "It's all laid out, hahahaha."

After saying that, he jumped down. Although Xu Han had seen this scene many times, she couldn't help but be a little worried. She was relieved after the Taoist priest landed safely.

"Let's install the doors and windows! These were all made beforehand, so we can just put them on directly," Xu Han said.

“Okay, there’s still plenty of time! Let’s install the doors and windows first. Once they’re installed, we won’t look like we’re missing anything,” Grandpa Zhao said.

"The house is finally finished today. All we need to do now is pave the ground with bluestone slabs. Let's cook some good dishes tonight and celebrate!" Lu Chuan said.

“I agree with that,” the Taoist priest quickly chimed in.

“Okay, after lunch I’ll prepare a big dinner, let’s celebrate properly today,” Xu Han said.

"I'll help," Grandpa Zhao said quickly.

"Let's install the doors and windows first! They'll be quick to install."

Then the four of them started to lift the doors and windows that had already been made. The doors and windows were made in the main room in the backyard. Once they were finished, they were placed under the eaves. Since they were close by, it didn't take much effort.

The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao held the doors and windows, while Lu Chuan was responsible for securing them.

Xu Han was responsible for cleaning up the sawdust left over from making furniture, and also tidying up the house. There was still some charcoal left that had been piled up here, so she moved it all to the front yard.

After the house was cleaned thoroughly, it instantly looked completely different. It was no longer as messy and cluttered as before.

At noon, Xu Han made chicken noodles. After the four of them ate a simple meal, they continued working until Xu Han had cleaned everything. Then, she called Grandpa Zhao to go to the front yard to cook dinner.

Only the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan remained to continue installing the remaining doors and windows. Fortunately, there wasn't much left, and they were almost finished.

"Grandpa Zhao, is there anything you'd like to eat tonight? Just tell me and I'll cook it," Xu Han asked with a smile.

"I'm fine with anything. How about I make the Taoist priest a boiled beef dish? He's been saying he wants to eat this for the past couple of days!"

“Okay, this is easy, I’ll do it.” Xu Han said and went to prepare the ingredients needed to make boiled beef.

The dinner was very lavish, with eight dishes, each one generously portioned. Based on her observation of eating together with them every day for so long, Xu Han prepared two dishes that she personally preferred for each person.

"Are you all done? Dinner's ready, come and eat!" Xu Han called out to the backyard.

"I'm done, tidying up now! I'll be right there," Lu Chuan replied.

"Okay, we'll serve the food first. Come over after you wash your hands!"

After saying that, Xu Han brought out the food from the kitchen and then took out some wine from the storeroom.

Almost every time they had a big meal, Xu Han would bring some wine to liven things up. Everyone didn't drink much; it was just for the fun and excitement.

After everyone was seated, we began to eat.

"What a sumptuous meal today! I haven't had such a feast in a long time." The Taoist priest's mouth watered as he spoke, and he quickly picked up a piece of boiled beef and ate it.

"Look at how greedy you are. It's been less than a month since you had a big meal. Didn't you eat anything during the Lantern Festival? It's not like Xiao Han didn't let you eat anything," Grandpa Zhao retorted.

"You don't understand, I can't be bothered with you," the Taoist priest mumbled.

"Girl, why aren't you eating? Hurry up and eat the boiled beef, it's so delicious." After saying that, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xu Han's bowl.

"I'm not feeling too hungry today, you can eat first!" Xu Han replied with a smile.

"Is something wrong? You didn't eat much at noon today. Come on, let me see your hand." After saying that, Grandpa Zhao began to take Xu Han's pulse.

He held it for a while without saying a word, as if he was unsure, and continued to observe for a while longer.

"Old Zhao, what's wrong with the girl? Why aren't you saying anything? It's been so long, could she really be sick?"

Lu Chuan looked at Grandpa Zhao with a tense expression, and Xu Han also tensed up instantly upon hearing this. Sensing Xu Han's movement, Lu Chuan quickly hugged her and gently patted her to comfort her.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You shouldn't drink this wine for now." After saying that, Grandpa Zhao took the wine glass away from Xu Han.

"What's going on?! You old fool, what's this all about?! Are you even qualified?! You're a quack!" the Taoist priest snapped.

Grandpa Zhao glared at the Taoist priest, then cut to the chase and said, "It's a good thing, but the time was too short, and the pulse isn't clear."

Upon hearing this, the three of them suddenly realized the same thing.

"Really? Grandpa Zhao, you're not mistaken, are you?" Lu Chuan asked excitedly, his words tumbling out incoherently.

"I can guarantee that. Your Grandpa Zhao has been practicing medicine for so many years, he definitely wouldn't be wrong. The fact that he dared to say it almost means he's already made up his mind. Hahahaha, I'm going to be a grandfather!" the Taoist priest laughed.

"Honey, do you feel unwell anywhere? Is there anything you want to eat?" Lu Chuan asked carefully, protecting Xu Han.

"No, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Isn't this all delicious food? Besides, all the food is here with me! Would I deprive myself of what I want to eat? Don't be nervous," Xu Han said, holding Lu Chuan's hand.

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful! We finally have a child! Don't worry, I will definitely be a good father and I will never hurt him." Lu Chuan laughed and cried at the same time, and even the words he said were incoherent, going off on a tangent.

"Yes! I believe you."

"No, no, no, I not only want to be good to the child, but also to you. I've heard that pregnancy and childbirth are very hard for women, and childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell. My dear wife, you've worked so hard. If there's anything you want to eat or want, just tell me. I can't take your place in carrying the child, so leave everything else to me."

"good."

"I say, you've finally gotten to the point, kid. A grown man crying like this, is it really necessary?" the Taoist priest teased.

“You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend it.” Lu Chuan rarely spoke to the Taoist priest like this. Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

"You've gone too far! If it weren't for the fact that you have to take care of the girl, I would have given you a good beating."
