I never cared about these things when I took Yunhua out before. As long as he could eat and sleep, I didn't care.

No matter how bad the environment was, it was bearable, but back in the capital, there were people who did all that, and I even had my share of good days.

She could endure any situation, but ever since she came here, whenever it was sunny, Xu Han would often take the Taoist priest's quilt out to air it.

She sunbathes almost every day. Later, after a while, when she saw Xu Han sunbathing her quilts, she would take the initiative to bring her quilts out to air them.

Later on, airing out the quilts became a habit. If we didn't air out the quilts one day, we would feel uncomfortable covering ourselves with them.

After such a long period of rainy days, I couldn't stand the damp blankets anymore, and as soon as the sun came out, I thought about airing them out.

"It's not possible yet. The ground is still too wet. Even if you take the blankets out to dry, they won't dry properly because they'll absorb moisture. We'll let the ground air out tomorrow before taking the blankets out to dry."

Xu Han really wanted to air out the quilts, but the rain had lasted too long, and the ground in the yard wasn't completely dry yet. Because of the prolonged rain, the rainwater wasn't sinking to the ground, and the sun wouldn't evaporate it all in a short time.

In addition, the water level outside is still very high, and water droplets keep falling from the leaves of trees near my home, so airing out the quilts now is not a wise choice.

Tomorrow, once the sun evaporates the water on the ground and the trees stop dripping, we can take out the clothes and blankets to air them out.

The weather in July is still very hot. On sunny days, the sun is very strong, and the moisture evaporates very quickly.

After Xu Han finished breakfast, the sun outside became quite strong. Although she was tired of staying indoors, she couldn't stand the heat outside anymore.

The rain stopped and my mood improved. Even Xu Han's morning sickness felt much better than before, and now she was in the mood to make some snacks for everyone.

Lately, everyone has been drinking herbal tea to prevent the spread of the epidemic, but some of it can be quite bitter and unpleasant to drink. So Xu Han thought of making some small snacks to sweeten everyone's palates.

After thinking for a long time without knowing what to make, Xu Han suddenly saw a pile of hawthorns in the corner of the space. She decided to make hawthorn candy, as it was sweet and sour and tasted especially delicious.

We haven't eaten much of these hawthorns yet. Apart from drying them and making some candied hawthorn skewers, they've just been sitting there untouched.

There was still a large pile of hawthorns, enough to make a lot of hawthorn leather. Seeing this, Xu Han took out a basket of hawthorns and asked Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest to help carry them to the pond in the backyard to wash them clean.

After cleaning them, they were moved back into the main room, where everyone sat together to remove the pits from the hawthorns.

Simply make a shallow cut around the hawthorn with a knife, then break it open to easily remove the pit.

Set aside the cleaned hawthorns for later use. After all the hawthorns have been processed, add water to a large pot, then put the hawthorns into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat to cook.

Simmer until the fruit pulp is completely soft and mushy. Then, use a tool to mash the pulp until it becomes a sticky, yogurt-like consistency. After it cools, pour it onto parchment paper, scrape it into thin slices with a spatula, and then let it air dry.

I made a few hawthorn-flavored fruit leather sheets. This stuff is quite time-consuming to make and doesn't produce a finished product. I only managed to make five large sheets after a whole morning of work.

These weren't enough to eat, and they would all be gone in a few days. Xu Han thought that she still had some apples in her space, so she decided to make some more with them.

Take out the apples, wash them clean, and then make them into a yogurt-like paste using the same method. Then make the fruit leather using the same method.

Finally, Xu Han mixed the remaining apple puree and hawthorn puree together and made another fruit leather with both flavors combined.

After everything was done, the remaining fruit puree in the bowl couldn't be wasted. Xu Han added the boiled water, which had cooled slightly, to the bowl, stirred it well, and turned it into juice, which could be drunk as a beverage during meals.

As soon as it was made, Xu Han couldn't wait to try it and thought it tasted pretty good.

But Lu Chuan and his friends didn't think so.

"It's so sour, it's really too sour." The Taoist priest said with a grimacing face after taking a sip, his teeth chattering from the sourness.

Grandpa Zhao and Lu Chuan, who did not believe in the Taoist priest, also poured some and tasted it. After tasting it, their expressions changed instantly.

"This is way too sour," Lu Chuan said.

"Look at you two, you still don't believe me," the Taoist priest said with amusement, seeing that the two of them had also been mocked.

"My wife was perfectly fine after drinking it, so why is it so sour?" Lu Chuan said with a bitter face.

"Can we compare to Xiaohan? She's pregnant, she definitely won't feel sour," Grandpa Zhao said.

"That's not right. Xiaohan used to like sour things, so why has she changed her taste today?" Lu Chuan asked.

When Lu Chuan asked that question, his heart sank instantly. Could it be that the daughter he had been longing for was gone?

Surely this baby won't be another boy, right? After all, I always hear the saying "sour for a boy, spicy for a girl," but I don't know if that's true.

"I just couldn't eat, I didn't say I didn't want to eat sour things," Xu Han said while drinking the hawthorn juice in her hand.

“That does seem to be true,” the Taoist priest replied.

Lu Chuan panicked even more, but it wasn't certain. They would have to wait until the baby was born to confirm. There was still hope.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Lu Chuan's expression.

After finishing preparing all the hawthorn candies, it was lunchtime again, and Xu Han hurriedly started cooking.

The food Mu'er eats now is sometimes different from what everyone else eats; he can't eat anything that's too oily or spicy yet.

Sometimes the food is a bit too strong in flavor, so I make other complementary foods for Mu'er separately.

Or we might serve him some chili peppers beforehand, and sometimes we'll let him eat the food that he can eat with the adults.

When it comes to raising children, Xu Han focuses more on nutrition and physical and mental health, so she doesn't have any special requirements regarding adult food that children can't eat at all.

I feel like I'll let Mu'er try a little bit of whatever he can eat, because if he doesn't try it, he'll never be able to eat it.

Xu Han doesn't particularly control children's dietary preferences and doesn't insist that they eat complementary foods.

For example, everyone ate hot and sour potato noodles for lunch today. Mu'er definitely couldn't eat that, so Xu Han made chicken soup noodles for Mu'er separately.

After everyone finished lunch, they rested for a while and then went back to their rooms for a nap.
